A pure stand alone ABAP class for creating PDFs in SAP on any ABAP system

I created this class on my spare time on one of my projects. We ended up using the class in the project instead of using the built in (non ADS ) capabilities in the abap stack which is very limited. IF you want more flexibility, your option is usually to go for ADS (Adobe Document Server). If ADS is not available, this class could be an alternative.

The class supports only basic functionality which I needed at the time, but it should be fairly simple to add more.

Currently, the class is capable of:

responses or shown directly in SAP GUI (see example).

Create text in the PDF built in fonts
Helvetica
Times
Courier
Measure text strings (for the supported fonts)
Fit text within a defined box constrain with largest possible font size
Draw rectangles
Get the PDF as a raw string which can be stored as files or sent as http

To use:

Create a class named ZCLPDF
Change to "Source Code Based" editing
Past in the code from the file zclabap.abap
Activate class

You can switch back to Form based coding if that is what you prefer.

To test: See the report ZTESTZCLPDF to see an example on how create a simple pdf and display the pdf within SAP GUI.
