Date format in PDF "Printer friendly"

I am using obiee 10.1.3.4.1
Is it possible to change date format in PDF files that are exported with "Printer friendly" option?
For example I have prompt with date 01.12.2011.
I want to export whole dashboard (prompt with report) to PDF with "Printer frienldy" button. But this generates PDF with prompt where is my selected date in different format 2011-12-01
I would like to have same date format in PDF as it is in my prompt...

date separator is "." in my case and dateOrder is "dmy"

Date Format in Check Printed from F110

Hi,
I'm on 4.6C.
Company: US10 (United states local configuration)
I'm doing the check printing thru Tcode F110 and for printing we are using program RFFOUS_C. Earlier we were getting date format as MM.DD.YYYY but if vendor is form Spain (I'm not sure) I have started getting format as DD/MM/YYYY.
Why?. Should I change vendor's country to US on Tcode FK03?
I have checked the user setting (Tcode SU3) of the person who did the printing, in that also the date format is MM.DD.YYYY.
A lot of thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Sid,
Thanks for your quick answer.
My Date's fields in RFFOUS_C are: &REGUH-ZALDT& and &REGUP-BldAT&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY'
OR
/: SET REGUH-ZALDT MASK = 'MM.DD.YYYY' ????
I must set date mask in every window??
a lot of thanks in advance.
best regards

Date format within smartforms printing

Hello,
I have an issue regarding date format.
When I print a delivery note date format is e.g. 08.04.2011, printing an invoice it shows 04-08-2011.
It seems that depending on the customers country the invoice printing converts to date format within country settings
(V_T005-DATFM) while delivery form doesn't.
If I always want to print in date format of sales company what should I do?
Thanks a lot,
Wolfi.

I guess, it should work if you define
/: SET COUNTRY &country_key&
in the Initialization section of your smartform.
Note: The country-dependent formatting options are stored in the T005X table.

SaiRam

Date format changed while printing invoice

Dear All,
Since yestardayin production server the date format of invoice is like 12.02.2010,but form morning it is comming like 2010.02.12.
I have checked in quality and it is still comming like 12.02.2010.
Could you please tell me why is it comming?
Regards,
Amar

Dear Amar,
1 Check the user profile for default type od date value in production system and compare it with quality. If this is not as per the quality system then change it.
2 if both system quality and production both have same date format then you have to debug and find out the issue.
Hope you need not to go for second point.

Date format in PO printing.

We developed a abap program, I copy the form MEDRUCK to a new form ZMEDRUCK, in ZMEDRUCK, I want to display the PO date and delivery date.
All of these date is in format MM/DD/YYYY.
Now the buyers want see the delivery date in the format DD.MMM.YYYY, for example, 15.Feb.2007. I inserted a command SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MMM.YYYY' in main window, when I print it in ME22N, I can see the PO date has been changed to format DD.MMM.YYYY, but the delivery date is still in format MM/DD/YYYY, so I inserted the command SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MMM.YYYY' to the line before the the date display, the problem can not bed solved.
BTW, the delivery date fields is PEKKO-LFDAT, RM06P-LFDAT and DC_EINDT (generated by the report from field EKET-EINDT).
Best Regards,
Slash Jiang

Hi,
From what i understand the field RM06P-LFDAT is giving the isuue.
I had a similar problem in PO printout with scheduled quantity RM06P-PRMG1. The issue was that, the quantity was getting displayed as 2,000 for 2.00. The basis guy told me that, it can be altered via configuration, but for form printouts the configuration won't take effect.
I got that solved by running a sepearte query in a subroutine and fetching the concerend value from the table into a variable i defined.
I would advise u to test the same.

Error while converting the ITF format to PDF format

Hi mates,
I am working on a requirement where i need to download a pdf file on to my desktop. The requirement is:
I have a data in ITF format which is fetched from READ_TEXT. Now i need to convert this ITF data format into PDF format and download the pdf file on the desktop. for this what i have done is I have converted the ITF data to XSTRING first by using the FM 'LXE_CONVERT_ITF_XML'. Now i have converted the ITF data format to XSTRING data format. Then i have converted the XSTRING data format to Binary data format using FM 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'. Finally i have used the cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to down load the data on to the desktop in pdf format....
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download and passed the parameters and i am able to download the pdf file on desktop. But the problem is when I am opening the file its displaying the error message ' Adobe Reader could not open the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged' Any thoughts on this.... Share
Regards,
Mohammed Shukoor.

Hi
Can u tell us what is the function of the UDF in your case ?
Apart from Converting the given input xml to pdf output, I dont see there is any other functionality within the UDF .. and the XMLTOPDF Class requires the two inputs to be passed when it is instantiated in the code
and now if you don't pass those parameters, it's going to throw an IO exception

I am editing the XSL-FO for the Standard Purchase Order.
I need to modify the promised date column to 'DD-MON-YYYY' , tried to use substring in below line but it didn't work
<xsl:value-of select="LINE_LOCATIONS/LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW/PROMISED_DATE"/>
Any solution for this ?
thanks
Pravin

Thanks for your response.
I tried to change the code in below format but it was giving error.
Original code
<xsl:value-of select="LINE_LOCATIONS/LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW/PROMISED_DATE"/>

<xsl:value-of select="xdoxslt:format_date(LINE_LOCATIONS/LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW/PROMISED_DATE,'dd-mmm-yyyy','dd/mmm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE)"/>
also tried with
<xsl:value-of select="xdoxslt:format_date(LINE_LOCATIONS/LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW/PROMISED_DATE,'dd-mmm-yyyy','dd-mmm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss',$_XDOLOCALE,$_XDOTIMEZONE)"/>

PDF printing in the APEX workspace

Hi,
We have a application running at the http://htmldb.oraclecorp.com , now since it was upgraded to version 3.0 , the regions have got a new button called the "print" but when we enable and try using it , it throws up an error saying "Acrobat could not open 'obe_ projects[1].pdf' because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged" , is the upgrade completed or are there any additional steps to be taken for it to work?
Regards
Naveen

Naveen,
The site you're referring to, is an Oracle internal site. That instance is up-to-date and supports PDF printing, please contact me directly, if you encounter any difficulties.

Hw can I generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format for printing ie pdf

A further question re. Printing of Graphs
There are many similar questions but none where the answers are acceptably adiquite or two or three were the link was broken,
"Developer exchange forums have been moved" and a pointer to the new
site, unfort it was hard to find or guess the rest of the link.
So here is my angle on this problem;
So far I have tried;
Using property node: "App. Printing.Default Printer" to select the printer to use, then
Using Report Functions to print controls;
New Report, to generate a new report reference
Set Report Orientation
Set Report Margins
Set Report Font
Set Report Header Text
Set Report Font
Set Report Footer Text
loop for each page
Set Report Footer Text, With page number
Append Control Image to Report, several times
New Report Page
Until the end of the last page
Print Report
Dispose Report
Initially using existing XY-Graph controls from the front panel. These
are on a page of a Tab control to hide these controls while not in use
and allow them to be hidden while generating the printout.
Unfortunately when this page is hidden any graph scales set to
autoscale don't, (normally don't need to and would otherwise be a waste
of processor time), resulting in graph plots going off scale or
becoming a line along the axis.
An issue is that what is printed appears to be read from the screen, so resolution is much
lower than required for for printing, resulting in rather pixellated
printed versions. These prints will usually be emailed, so tried the
pdf995 "printer driver" but the resulting pdf file size is rather large.
Currently trying Plot-XY on a much larger picture so as to get
adequate resolution for printing, however suspect this will result in
much larger pdf files and probably cause other problems.
The preferred solution in this case will probably be to generate print
output, instead of based on raster images (ie jpg or png), but on a
vector format, maybe via postscript or directly in pdf format.
Similar graphs currently printed from Excel via pdf995
(or OpenOffice) result in files around 20 kb per page. these can be printed at any size
(at least upto 64 times) without becoming pixellated, so assume these
are vector based.
Currently a page with 4 XY Graph controls uses around 40 to 45 kb per
page but resolution is poor and overcoming that may push file size up
to 150 to 200 kb per page, and the whole job can be 50 to 100 pages.
Are there any functions to generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format preferably in pdf or via PostScript format.
Cheers
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
I was able to reproduce the issue you were seeing, in which a report generation was taking up a large amount of space per page in a PDF utility. I found; however, using my attached VI (notice that it is set to *.png) and the CutePDF utility (free download at http://www.cutepdf.com/) I was able to get a per page size of about 10 KB. Also using the png I found that the image quality seemed to be quite high.
Please try incorporating this solution into your application and see if it reduces your file sizes.
Thanks and have a good evening!

PDF Print Forms - Date format

Hi Frnds,
This is my first time to work in PDF print forms.
I am using standard interface and program to print my PDF forms. The PDF form alone is customised.
I need to format my date as dd-mmm-yyyy. how can i do it?
can i call a subroutine from a Zprogram in the context or interface?
Can anyone help me to solve my issue? thanks a lot.
regards
Suganya.

Hi Frnds,
I got the date format solution.
But I need to know whether we can use the subroutine of the program inside the interface or PDF forms as like script.
I am using the std prgm RFKORD10_PDF and my customised PDF form. but i am getting an error as "Contradiction in form".
Can anyone help me to solve the error?
thank in adv

Printing current time and date on a pdf document

I wish for a pdf document to print the current time and date in the same place at the foot of each page, to the following format:
Aug 04 2009, 5:11 pm.
How do I do this please? Annoyingly I have managed it in the past, but when I open up my old documents and paste the relevant field into my new document, it either prints the old date/time or else prints the present date/time, but then doesn't refresh the next time I try to print - ie it stays at one date/time.
I'd like to start again from scratch so that I have a better idea of how it works!!
Regards
Tony

Eureka!
I now have the answer, and hopefully this will help anybody else with a similar problem.
In Acrobat:
Create a text field and place it in the chosen place on the pdf form. Label it "datebox" in the General tab of Text Field Properties, and apply your character styles in the Appearance tab.
Under the "Advanced" menu, go to "Document Processing" and then "Set Document Actions"
Click on "Document Will Print" and then hit the "Edit" button. In the "JavaScript Editor" paste the following:
var myfield=getField("datebox");
var date=new Date();
date=util.printd("mmm dd yyyy, h:MM tt", date);
myfield.value=date;
Hit OK.
You have now given the instruction that whenever you print, the field named "datebox" will print the current time and date in the following format:
Aug 05 2009, 9.37 am

Printer friendly PDF create error

Hi.
I've got a problem with generating a PDF from large over 10000 rows request. BI throw me an error
A fatal error occurred while processing the request. The server responded with: Error while executing PDFRpcCall.processMessage com.siebel.analytics.utils.InputStreamWithLimit$R...
I found some solution on internet like add

<InputStreamLimitInKB>0</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
to instanceconfig.xml file and change InputStreamLimitInKB to 0 in config.xml in web/javahost/config but that dosen’t work either.
I changed
<InputStreamLimitInKB>0</InputStreamLimitInKB>
to

Can anyone help me with this?

Hello Sharath,
I was in your positon before and tried to find the easiest way to create a 'printer-friendly' page but unfortunately there is none. In the end I had to settle for Adobe Forms (Setting up the ADS and getting the user credentials to remove the water mark requires effort for a newbie like me) which took care of all the formatting issues for me. Desiging a Web Dynpro 'page' that is formatted is simply too painful.
Perhaps you may wan to take a look @ the other forum for interactive forms ?

[11g] Date format when printing dashboard prompt

Hello,
i have a dashboard prompt with a between condition on a date format. When i display it on the dashboard, the format is perfect dd.mm.yyyy. But when i want to print the dashboard, the format is shown as yyyy-mm-dd. On the forum i found a hint about the localedefinitions.xml (Printer-friendly date format But there, the definition is ok
<property name="dateShortFormat">dd.MM.yyyy</property> // default short date format for locale
So, how can i change the format to dd.mm.yyyy when printing the dashboard. Any advice?
Thanks
Martin

Davison,
Its not possible using user settings. All you would need to do is copy the SAP SCRIPTForm program(You can keep the Print program as such) and set date mask as required in SAP script text editor using command
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
Now the date variable value written out on the screen would be
&DATE& -> JAN 01, 2010
You could revert to standard settings using command
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
