How to directly print PDF file(which is stored in SAP) in ABAP report?

Hi experts,
I searched SDN for printing PDF file but everything is about OTF to PDF and to use fm: CONVERT_OTF which is not the solution for my problem.
I have to build ABAP report which will take the PDF file attached to SAP document (CV02N) and print it.So, which function module or program can I use to print the PDF file?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Danijela

Dear
 this is the code for down load smartform for PDF format. its working properly
2nd way is
set your Acrobat Printer as your default printer
when you print select printer as LOCAL
then you will file dialog box for Naming PDF

How to Attach a pdf file which is created in EP while sending the mail

Hi guys,
My scenario is, " A form is created in the EP and a HR person give the input/mandatory field employee number in that form so he gets the details of the employee and he edit some of the fields in the form and he gives his comments, then he press "submit" button."
Note: The edited fields are not stored in any table.
At this point my workflow will trigger using the event "POSITIONCHANGE" using the business object "BUS1065". Now i have to send a notification to 5 persons along with the pdf form as a attachment which is created by the initator in a display mode.
My Questions are:
1. How can i get that pdf form which is created by the intiator in EP to my workflow.
2.Then how can i attach this form in the mail.

I got the pdf into my workflow in a binary data and i passed this binary data to the function module so_document_attacthment_ap1.
in that i am specifing that the file type is .pdf and i received mail with the pdf attachment too.

How to duplex print pdf file on hp 1320 using upd pcl5 on windows 7 ?

I am running Windows 7 Professional (64bit), with a HP laserjet 1320 using driver HP UPD PCL5 (v5.5.0.12834), with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.5.2 and MS Word 2010. When I print a Word 2010 file I can choose duplex printing (print on both sides) and everything works fine. However, when I open a PDF file, click FILE then PRINT then PROPERTIES the PRINT ON BOTH SIDES option shows "none" and no other option is shown. I searched Adobe support and it says duplex printing is controlled by the printer driver, not Adobe software. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the UPD PCL 5 driver two times already but still the same problem of not being able to choose duplex printing for any PDF document - yet it works for MS Word. Any ideas ? Thanks

How do I duplex print on an HP 1320 printer that uses windows 7 (64 bit) system?

How to upload a PDF-file and send it by SAP Mail

Hi,
we need to attach a pdf-file to an email send by SAP. The file is stored in a SAP-directory. When I use Open dataset to get the file it works but when sent by email the file could not be opened. I guess that perhaps I have to use other parameters to get the PDF in a correct file but I don't know which ones. Here is part of the coding I use for testing:
TYPES: BEGIN OF typ_pdf,
       line(255),
       END OF typ_pdf.
DATA: it_pdf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF typ_pdf,
      wa_pdf LIKE LINE OF it_pdf.
v_file = '/pool//Test.pdf'.
OPEN DATASET v_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
WHILE ( sy-subrc EQ 0 ).
READ DATASET v_file INTO wa_pdf.
IF NOT wa_pdf IS INITIAL.
    APPEND wa_pdf TO it_pdf.
ENDIF.
CLEAR wa_pdf.

I dont think you can save the data into sap tables in PDF format.
With the above code you can save data into an internal table.

How To Batch Print PDF Files

Hello Friends.
I am using Apex 4.1 on Windows 7. My database is Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Solaris and OAS as the app server (and so, am using mod_plsql).
I wrote an application in which I use the PLPDF package to generate PDF screens. Initially, the last few commands in my code looked like:
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);The variable l_blob is the PDF blob object generated by PLPDF. The PDF is being formed from a cursor for loop further up in my code (not displayed here) that is SELECTing from a table. The above code displays the generated PDF on to a popup page in my application. At that point, the user can click the "File->Print" menu to send the displayed PDFF to the default printer.
However, my requirements are that I may have multiple PDFs generated from my for loop and would like to have each of these PDFs sent to the default printer is one go rather than force the user to have to display and print each one separatlely.
And so I modified the above code so that the PDFs created by the PLPDF package are being inserted into an Oracle table rather than displayed in a popup page.
Would any one know how to send each of the PDFs stored in the table to the default printer automagically, perhaps my issuing a ctrl+p command or some such thing.
Thanks in advance for any help/code/advice.
Elie

I tried the following code that which comes directly from the Apex Stored procedure PRINT_PDF.
The APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function returns NULL.
declare
    v_filename varchar2(1000);
    v_pdf_blob blob;
pnum number;
begin
v_filename := 'TEST_' || to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd');
pnum := --Hidden from Post;
dbms_output.put_line('Security ID: ' || pnum);
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,pnum));
v_pdf_blob := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
                                       p_application_id      => 121,
                                       p_report_query_name   => 'QS_CERT_QUERY_TEST',
                                       p_report_layout_name => 'QS_CERT_QUERY',
                                       p_report_layout_type => 'xsl-fo',
                                       p_document_format     => 'pdf');
insert into printed_pdfs (filename, stored_pdf, record_created_By_person, record_created_on_date)
                  values (v_filename||'.pdf', v_pdf_blob, 'Name', sysdate);
end;
Any idea on what is wrong or how to make it work.

How do I print PDF files in preview with the added annotations?

Is there a way to print out the document with the added notes that are next to the slides?

When you add notations to a PDF document, you need to hit "save" for every page before doing anything else. If you forget to save the changes for each page, they will not re-appear. So, if you save the change, it should then print with your notations.

Printing PDF files double-sided

Using an HP Photosmart Plus B210a - how do I print PDF files double-sided. I can print Word documents etc. this way but do not seem to have the option when opening a PDF file.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
You might experiment with a page or two first.
1.Choose File > Print.
2.From the Subset pop-up menu in the Print Range area, select Even Pages Only.
3.Click OK or Print.
4.If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank sheet so the final odd page has a sheet to print on.
5.Put the stack of printed paper back into the supply (source) paper tray so that the unprinted sides print. Point the top of the pages toward the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.
6.Choose File > Print and select Odd Pages Only from the Subset menu.
7.Select the Reverse Pages option. In this scenario, the Reverse pages option ensures that the page sequence is correct.
8.Click OK or Print.

Print PDF file directly to store printer

Hi Gurus,
Having not found a solution, we think we need help from you. We have searched forums and google but have not found adequate solutions.
We are a retailer having different stores. Our main office is using SAP. Each store has its printer and defined in our SAP system. We want to print PDF files directly to store printer using SAP . How should we do that ? We think there are 2 steps:
1) Upload PDF files from network directory into SAP (We done it, no problem)
2) Having now PDF files in internal tables, how should we proceed to print PDF files using store printers?
 Please note that we do not want to use CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER since we do not want to display the PDF and having the obligation to choose the print option from dialog and also we do not want to call Adobe OLE object to print
Any answer would be appreciated
Thank you very much

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

How do I re-sequence pages in a pdf file, which is in booklet format?

I have a pdf file which is an A5 booklet in duplex for-printing order, with two A5 pages printed on one A4 area. I want to re-sequence these pages to simple ascending page number order, for reading online. How do I do it?
The first A4 page of my pdf file consists of A5 page 1 on left and A5 page 48 on right, followed by the second A4 page consisting of A5 page 47 on left and A5 page 2 on right, and so on. [I can print this out OK as a booklet, except that the second A4 page, etc. is upside down.]
Do I need to take the crude, grunt approach and cut and paste each A5 page, one at a time, into a new document? I am using Acrobat XI Pro

You can reorder pages by dragging them to new positions in the Pages pane on the left.

How to print pdf files not using acrobat product?

i just want to print pdf files,but not want to use the adobe acrobat or acrobat reader,just want to write a tools print pdf files directly.

> no i just want to print it,not need to read it.can you help me?
Well, the problem is to print it you need to be able to read it. Something needs to convert it into a format the printer can understand (most printers are PostScript or PCL).
I'm not sure you entirely understand what a PDF file is. It's not a fancy text file. It's a binary format. Saying "I want to print a PDF without a PDF interpreter" is like saying "I want to run an EXE without Windows". You need software to interpret the format.
You certainly can write your own software to interpret the PDF format, convert it to a print language and output that to a printer, but as Aandi said you will need to start by reading the PDF Reference so you know how the inside of a PDF file works, and it will most likely take several years of development even for a seasoned, expert programmer. It's just not as simple as "Printer, meet PDF. PDF, meet printer."

How to print PDF files using java print API

Hi,
I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
Thanks in advance

Mike,
Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
boolean showPrintDialog=true;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
try {
if (showPrintDialog) {
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
printJob.print();
else
printJob.print ();
} catch (Exception PrintException) {
PrintException.printStackTrace();
Thank you and a happy new year.
Cheers,
Chris
