Adobe PrintForm: Print preview in WebClient UI

Hi,
I've already searched, but I didn't find a solution to show a print preview for my generated Adobe print form PDF.
I create the pdf by pressing a button in WebUI and call in the corresponding method the following coding (short version):
call function 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
fp_outputparams-preview = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.
fp_outputparams-des = ''.
fp_outputparams-pdltype = 'PCL'.
fp_outputparams-reqnew = abap_true.
fp_outputparams-nodialog = ''.
call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
call function fm_name
call function 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
In the printer settings I activated the preview, but no preview will be opened.
The document is now in the spool job.
But I have to open an preview to print the PDF on the local printer of the user.
Is there any possibility to show an print preview for PDF documents in WebUI?
Or are my printer settings not correct?
Best regards,
Andreas

embed pdf document or use iframe

What doesn't happen is printing.

Also check this out. Firefox10 was able to display the pdf document perfectly.
Now goto Firefox options and click print which invokes the printer print view and NOT the Adobe print view.
Also if you click the print preview a blank page is shown.

Adobe Acrobat Print Preview not supported

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.0 and have been having this issue (not really a problem but it bugs me) where when I go to print a PDF and click on preview before sending the document to the printer I always get this message pop up that says "Preview is not supported." I just like to be able to get an idea of what things will look like before potentially wasting paper.
Is this normal and expected or is there something I can do to get print preview to work?

It's normal and expected because Acrobat has a more powerful printing and preview capability than Preview, so running output through Preview would just dumb it down.
If you set up your Page Setup right, the preview in the Acrobat Print dialog (Copies and Pages) is pretty effective for predicting print size and position relative to the true print margins. For color previewing, if you use Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview in Acrobat it, too, blows away the soft proofing in Preview.

Adobe Reader Print Preview

Hello,
Our buisness program has a built in Fax program that uses Windows Fax and Scan, when I send our priclist to 243 companies each week a print preview from Adobe Reader pops up each time. How can this preview be turned OFF?

That depends upon the fax software, not Reader.

WebUI Print Preview (Action Definition - Print) for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
As mentioned in subject, how to define an CRM Action Definition (with or without Action Condition) to Print an Adobe Interactive Forms. We know how to define a setting for Print Preview function in CRM WebUI via Action Definition - Smartforms Print. Now we want to print preview from CRM WebUI document on Form designed in Adobe Interactive Forms (tx SFP).
We have tested using Action Definition - External Communication, we can set the AIF form here. We tested in GUI (tx crmd_order) and it works. But when testing preview on CRM WebUi it shows "Error in Smartforms".
Somehow it still detect as Smartforms instead of Adobe Interactive Forms.
We prefer if this preview can be done via Action, because it is straight forward function for printing.
Should we use Action - Method Call instead ? How is the approach to do it in Action - Method Call ?
Any one try this before? Appreciate your sharing here.
Thx & Rgds,
Gun.

Hi Gunawan,
if I got you right, what you want is: Call your AIF when someone clicks on the "print preview" button in CRM WebClient. This should all work using a print action like with normal SmartForms.
I faced this problem some months ago on CRM 6. The problem here was quite simple: The SmartForm interface and the one of AIF are not compatible. Thus the service used for calling the print action from WebClient failed.
For handling this problem I enhanced the print service to call AIF correctly.
In customizing I used print actions that call a method.
As mentioned this lays back some months already. Maybe SAP came up with a better solution by now. I saw AIF to have multilple interface types. One is an interface compatible with SmartForms. Probably you can use this one and the print service will work without any enhancements or modifications.
cheers Carsten

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.

Running Safari 6.0.3 When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black. If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it. It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2 Any ideas?

Running Safari 6.0.3 When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black. If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it. It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2 Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, aren't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Safari 7.0.6, using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10, isn't rendering pdf files in the Print Preview screen. Additionally, only a single, blank page prints for a multi-page pdf document. Any ideas?

Figured it out. It had nothing to do with the software levels of Safari or Adobe Acrobat. Here's the fix:
Open Finder/Applications
Search "Internet Plug-Ins"
Move any Adobe plug-ins to the trash
Quit Safari
Launch Safari
Your pdf document should now render in Print Preview and print properly.

Print Preview in RFx does not show new Adobe Interactive Form

Hello Experts,
I am trying to assign a standard Adobe Interactive form as the output form for SRM RFQ. I have carried out the following steps in customising under "Define Actions for Document Output".
- Selected bid invitation Action Profile = BBP_PD_BID
- Go to "Processing Types"
- Create a new Processing Type called "External Communication"
- Set the following values to the new processing type:
     - Form Name = BBP_BID_INV_ADB
     - Form Type = P PDF-Based Forms
     - Format = BBP_BID_INV_ADB_MAI
     - Personalization Type = 5 - Recipeient Variable Replacement
- Save Changes
My problem is that when I go to into the BID (RFx) and click "Print Preview" it picks up the standard Smartform, not the new Adobe form I have added as required.
Please can you advise of any additional config settings or other steps required to ensure that the Adobe Form is called when I click "Print Preview"?
We are on SRM 7.0.
I look forward your response.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt could you please tell me how do you solve your issue? I have the same and I cant find the solution.
Thanks a lot

Adobe 9 standard print preview not updating

I am having a issue with Adobe 9 stardard on win7 64bit. The issue is happening on more then on pc. The issue is, when the page size is changed in the print menu, by clicking the properties button. The preview of the document does not update to the page size that I chose. For instance the user is usually changing the page size to 11 x 17 and when they choose that the preview does not change the 11x17, but when they print it will print at 11x17. Is there anything that I can do so that the preview image updates. If they go back in and change the paper size again it updates the preview image.
Thank You

Hi Sonika,
That is not required functionality. it should display a Adobe Form for Invoice processing.
I doubt there might be some problem with ADS configuration.
Can you please do the following test and let me know the result ?
If the Adobe Interactive Forms have been installed correctly, the
following tests should run without errors:
First test:
1) Call transaction SE38.
2) Enter the report name "FP_PDF_TEST_00" and choose "Execute" (or press F8).
3) Enter "ADS" in the entry field for the connection, and choose
"Execute" (or press F8).
4) The system should issue a dialog box containing the current version
information.
Second test:
1) Call transaction SE38.
2) Enter the report name "FP_TEST_00" and choose "Execute" (or press
F8).
3) Enter "FP_TEST_00" for the form, "2" for the number of output pages,
and "ADS" for the ADS connection. The choose "Execute".
4) Enter a valid output device and choose "Print Preview".
5) The Adobe Reader should be displayed in the GUI, and display two
pages with numbered lines.
Third test:
1) Call transaction SE38.
2) Enter the report name "FP_TEST_IA_01" and choose "Execute" (or press
F8).
3) Enter "FP_TEST_IA_01" for the form, "ADS" for the ADS connection, and
any data in the other entry fields (these are already filled with
default values). Then choose "Execute" (or press F8).
4) Enter a valid output device and choose "Print Preview".
5) The Adobe Reader should be displayed in the GUI, and display a page
with address fields.
6) Scroll down to the frame for the new address, and fill in those
fields.
At the end of the form, an entry field for the date and a value help
exists. Choose the input help button and check if the system displays
the datepicker.
Now you will know yourself if there is any problem with ADS configuration.

Embedded Images Print Preview and Print Blacked Out - Adobe 9 Pro

Having an issue where images embedded into the file will view properly, but once you print or print preview the images are blacked out. This is regardless of the printer we use.
Is there a setting we are missing?

Thanks for posing this question.
Although fonts have embedding restrictions baked into the font such as preview and print, the real restrictions are to be found in a font's EULA (End User License Agreement) which may have other restrictions including payment of royalties on copies of PDF files or any other asset in which the fonts are embedded.
In the case of any and all fonts sourced from Adobe, not only do you have at least preview and print embedding privileges, but there are no restrictions or royalties required for distribution of files (i.e., PDF, EPS, eBooks, etc.) in which the Adobe fonts are embedded.
In other words, you are “good to go” with Adobe fonts. On the other hand, make no assumption about fonts sourced from other font foundries. Many do not provide such liberal terms!
