A print button in a Report

I have a displayed version and a printing version of a report. I want the end-user to print the "printing version". Therefore, I cannot use print window and also because the entire report does not show in the window. I want to create a button or hyperlink in the report that enables the end-user to execute the run link for the printing version of the report in a different window and print it using the browser's print function. What objects do I need to create to achieve this?

I managed to do this in the following way:
1. Create two reports - Your_report and Your_printable_report
2. Put this in the additional PL/SQL section of "Your_report".
htp.p('<a target="_blank" href="<URL of Your_printable_report.show>">View printable version</a>');
3. In the additional PL/SQL section of "Your_printable_report"
htp.p('<form><input type="button" value="Print" onClick="window.print()"></form>');
This creates the first report with a hyperlink to the printable version, which has a button to print it.
Hope this helps,
Hsiu

Print button on Web report.

Hi gurus,
We were trying to add a print button on Web report for printing the result area on the Web report.
We followed the steps which has given in the How-to-guide How To Web Printing with Microsoft
Excel document.
In the document it has mentioned that
1. Support package should be above 19 for BW 3.5 version
2. Add HTML code in the WAD Template
3. Import Transport file into the System.
4. Apply OSS notes 736568 and 737082 to BW
We upgraded the support package to 22, added the html code in the WAD template, imported the transport file into the BW system and applied the OSS notes as per the mentioned in the document.
The transport file contains the Package u201CZPK_WEB_PRINTING_WITH_EXCELu201D and ABAP Classes u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINTu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_CONDITIONu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_EXCEPTIONu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_GRIDu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEMPLATEu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTSu201D,
u201CZCL_RSR_XLS_TABLEu201D
After import the transport file into BW, some of the objects in the ABAP Classes were not activated. I was trying to activate manually but those were not activating.
Please guide me how to resolve the above issue or is there any way to get the printing the web report?
Thanks in advance.
Venkata.

Hi
If you want to print the web page directly then you can define a button using Java script and you can do it.
Define java script code to print the page
for ex define a button and call function for print.
i cannot attach the code. but you can solve with java script

While Printing using Print Button on Crysal Report Loses focus.

Hi all,
I am using CR XI along with VS2003 for developing my application.
My application uses a Treeview to list all the available reports, once user select one of the report. I am using another dll, which contain all the rpt files as Embedded Resource, for showing the report in Crystal report viewer.
Once report get loaded, I am using Print Button from Crystal report viewer to print the report.
report get printed properly..
However a strange behavior occurring, Form with Crystal report viewer control placed loses focus and immediate below window coming into focus (some other opened window get activated and bring to front and hiding my application).
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you
Riju K K

Hi Brian,
Thanks for you are reply.
I think I am not creating a separate process,
From my application, I am creating an instance of form (which is in another DLL) which is hosting Crystal report viewer.
If click "Print" button on the Crystal report viewer, I am getting a Printer selection form.
If I cancel from there ,my Crystal report viewer form get focus back.
If select a printer and click "OK". my Crystal report viewer form lost focus and some of the other window opened (word, ie, etc) before get focus.
My assumption is Crystal Report viewer's "Print" button may be using a separate thread for Printing.
that may creating this focus issue.
what you think?

Add a Print button to a Report Page

I'm trying to add a Print button to a report page to render the page in printer-friendly mode and then give the user the option to send to a printer. I started with just trying to add a print button. I added a button to the region and added to the button request value javascript:window.print();. When I click on the print button, nothing happens. So I tried to add some html code:
<form>
<input type="BUTTON" value="Print" onClick="window.print()">
<form>
as a condition in Expression 1 when I selected "Current page is NOT in Printer Friendly mode". Nothing happens when I click on the print button. Can anyone offer some steps to create this functionality or point me to documentation on how to do this? I have tried the help documentation within APEX and isn't clear to me.
Thanks

The documentation wasn't very clear to me. I did try one suggestion to create a region on the report page and call it Print. The suggestion is then to add the following code to the Source Region section:
<form>
<input type='BUTTON' value="Print this page" onClick="window.print()">
<form>
The example however leaves out some significant information however. What is the region created as e.g. HTML, Report, Form, URL, etc?

Adding print button to interactive report

For now I have the downloaded to PDF option checked so the user can print an interactive report via the widget.
I would like to have a print button on the report also.
Has anyone got any of the java script stuff working off of a button?

Hi willjamu ,
All you should have to do is call the 'PDF' request to download the same report the drop down will create.

Help on print button for interactive report

Hi,
I have created an interactive report and have also added a print button on the button of the report (unfortunately forgot how I did it). Say my column on the reports was Col_No, Col_First_name, Col_Last_name and a print button when I pressed a would get to choose open or save a pdf file, if I opened or saved it, I would had the same info on my pdf report as above.
Since I have changed the column order meaning I have Col_No, Col_Last_name, Col_Start_Date, Col_First_name and that is working fine but when I click on the print button I will get the pervious columns.
I noticed I have created a branches to print the report, basically after processing, when button was pressed an action with f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=6259824360775969936:&DEBUG.::: is present.
I need help to fix this and I do very much appreciate any help or suggestions

Can we have a "print button" to print massive report document ?

Hi there,
Can we have a "print button" to print a massive report document (e.g 3000 page , each for a specific customer description), instead of exporting to pdf or excell before printing.. ?
Thanks
-toni

You cannot have a print Button in the report, But have you tried Scheduling the report, and setting the output to printer? That might meet your requirement. You can also use the schedule section to run it immediately (once)

Report is not starting an adobe window when pressing the print button

When ever I press the print button on my report and I get the box that asks you which page to print. I choose all and then press the ok button. Nothing happens when I press the ok button. I'm I missing something on the server that is running the application. It works locally but not on my test server.
Thank you

Well, in order to print using PDF, you must have adobe installed...
I understand that you have some CR Service Pack installed, but I am not sure which one. I'd recommend you download SP 5 from here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe
And use the msm to install the runtime. The SP 5 msm is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100001088442009E/crxir2sp5_net_mm.zip
Re.; I was wondering I am missing something from the server that converts the report to pdf and shows it in the adobe viewer.
Not that I am aware of.
If SP 5 does not help, a question for you; can you print any pdf document (non CR) from adobe on that server?

REPORT VIEWER- PRINT BUTTON- NOT PRINTING ONLY IN SOME MACHINES

I built a project in VS2008(VB.Net) and it uses RDLC reports...When ive published my software i tried and it works fine and can print successfully on my machine but when i tried on the target machine i can export to pdf but i cant print the files directly
using the print button on the report viewer...What is the problem? Thanking you in advance.

Hello,
Which browser did your used in the target machine? The issue may happens when you use none-IE browser.
The ClientPrint control of the Report Viewer control is based off of ActiveX and is not designed to work in none-IE browsers. This is a known issue in Report Viewer control.
To workaround this issue, you can try to use custom control or ActiveX control to get the print option enabled for the Report Viewer.

Print button on WAD template

Hi,
Presently we are in BW 3.5 version with support pack 22. We enhanced the html code based on ' How to ... Web printing with MS Excel' document. We imported the transport file which contains package and ABAP Classes.
After click on the print button on Web report, it was giving the same result area in the same page instead of giving the excel open or save options.
How to debug the enhanced html code in the WAD template? How to check the ABAP class('ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT') which i used in the
code?
Or is there any way to print the result area of Web report?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

This question has been answered

Inactivate the print button is the ABAP list

How can I inactivate the print button in the report program (ABAP list)?
I can inactive the print button on selection screen by using 'RS_SET_SELSCREEN_STATUS'. But can't achieve the same effect after the program jumped to the list output screen.
Thanks!

hi,
To achieve this you need to create your own custom pf-status. The tcode for creating new pf-status is se41. Goto SE41, enter the program name and click create.
Enter the menu bar buttons, application tool bar button and Function key as per your requirement. Active the pf-status. Once the pf-status is created, use this in your program using the statement.
set pf-status 'ZPF'.
