Pre-printed forms on IBM 5577 dot printer

Dear all,
I was wondering if there is any SAP tool in order to use pre-printed forms (with specific layout) on IBM 5577 dot printer which would allow to speciy a pre-defined layout.
Or do I have to define for each field the position on the pre-printed form thanks to SAPscript editor?
Regards.

HI Cany,
There is no such tool to identify the problem .In scripts and smartforms we have to define the layout pertaining to printer and its configuration settings.once the layout is defined and the printer is defined during the printing the printing begins automatically.in ur case u r talking about pre printed forms like application forms like cases, for this we have to know the length of the form initially and take care to identify the length of the field and also position.Hope u understand this.

HP photosmart 2610 printing forms on IBM Lotus Form Viewer 3.5

I have an HP photosmart 2610 printer that will not print forms from the IBM Lotus Form Viewer 3.5. I've tried on 2 different computers (one w/ Windows Vista and one w/ Windows 7) and neither will work. I get the following error message:
Sun Jan 29 15:34:42 2012 0 Viewer : Printer Driver's EndPage() Failed
at PRINT ERROR(.\src\FormViewer\PrintEngine\CPrintEngine.cpp:1960 Fri Mar 27 10:34:52 2009):12880:8
Is there a fix for this? Thank you!

Hi there ptspaid,
To eliminate and potential software problem lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Just installed Firefox 4.....now cannot print a pdf document in FF 4 using either file-print or the printer icon. However, I can print by right click on pdf page and selecting print form drop down. Was printing fine with FF 3.X

using adobe 9.x would not print. Then loaded Adobe Reader 10.x still would not print. Can print Adobe images just fine outside of FF4.x I am about ready to remove FF4 and go back to FF3.x.
Has anyone else had this problem.
Am running Win Xp with all current updates.

I had the same issue and my of my friends.
The fix is easy. You need to remove and re-add your printers.
Do this by going to the Applications folder Utilities folder and opening up Printer Setup Utility
Then click on the printers you see click remove and add them again.
If its a network printer, I would write down the IP address. Otherwise you have to figure out what it is.
Cheers

How do I create a form field ONLY template in Acrobat 9 Pro that will let the user enter and print only the form field data on a pre-printed form?

This template will be used to type in information that will then be printed on an agency's official, barcoded form loaded in a printer (instead of blank paper.) Only the user-entered info should print on the pre-printed form. Users will use Adobe Reader to complete their templates; they do not have Acrobat. Thank you!

Use the template as non-printable background and add the form fields.

Adobe print form on dot matrix printer

Has anyone tried to print adobe forms into a dot matrix printer i.e. printing multi-part documents. I've read that the device type supported are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. The help file specifically mentioned that SAPWIN device type won't be supported, but it does not mentioned explecitly weather ASCII device type or device type for dot matrix/impact printer is supported or not.
I'm still holding up hope that adobe print forms scenario will be able to do this since we are planning to go ahead with 100% adobe form solution.
Any info would greatly appreciated.

The supported output formats of ADS are PostScript, PCL, PDF and ZPL. That means that your printer has to support one of the mentioned formats to be supported. So the answer to your question is no.

Printing in a Pre-printed Form

Hi,
One of my jsp page is suppose to generate another page to be printed in a pre-printed form....is it possible?? Could you give me any Idea how??
thank you very much
...spryt :D

You would have to give the end user a configuration screen where you set the coordinates and sizes of the data fields you wish to print on.
Commonly, there is a test screen where you can do an alighnment test to make sure all the fields are lined up and maxed out.
Then during real use, you print real data. Simple.

Printing from APEX onto pre printed forms - not PDF

Hi
What is the best solution within APEX for printing. I am looking to print out data within an interactive report record onto a piece of pre printed stationary. So fields from the database will need to be positioned on certain positions on the print out
How can this be achieved? I have seen examples generating a PDF but I do not want a PDF to be generated or stored when the page has been printed.

Or Oracle Reports as a cheaper option, if your infrastructure is suitable.
Done that for pre-printed forms before - pixel perfect, just not for APEX. But it's easy to call Oracle Reports from APEX.

Pre printed forms

I am printing W2's on a pre printed form and some of the fields are randomly moving up and down. Some forms print perfect others are all over the place. Anyone have a suggestion.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please check if you have the form online from the state/agency providing this form. If it is online you could try to open this form with Adobe Reader and print it.
If you have a hardcopy pre-printed form, then you will need to scan it to your PC/system and then open the scanned form with Adobe Reader and print it.
Hope this helps,
Lucia

Why is there not an option to only print form data in Adobe XI?

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and saved it. Then I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then only print the form data but there is not an option to only print form data in Adobe Reader XI. I'm not sure if it is in the way I created the form or something else. Any help will greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Basically you need to place the file's contents on a non-printing layer. Try this:
Create a new blank file and open the Layers panel on the left.
Click the Options button and select Import As Layer.
Select your pre-existing PDF file (maybe save a copy of it without the form fields first and use that version).
Right-click the layer you created and select Properties. Change the layer's Print option to "Never Prints".
Now copy the fields from the other file and place them in their correct location on the page.
Save the file and you have a file that can be used to print only the form fields data, even in Reader.
This process can be automated, by the way, but that would require a script.

REPID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('CUS_PRINT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_SERVER,'test');

Internal table in adobe print forms

hi there,
in my WDA-application i use adobe print forms for output.
i use a table for displaying an internal abap-table.
in the formular-hierarchy it looks like this:
table2
--> line1
--> cell1
--> cell2
--> cell3
my problem is that i am a complete newbie in scripting in print forms.
here is what i want to do:
if cell1 = 'X' then the text in cell2 has to be bold or underlined.
Can someone provide me with a code-example either in javascript or formclac???
thx
David

thx for answering.
first i tried the following code:
data.T1.Tabelle2::ready:form - (JavaScript, Client) -
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.weight = "bold";
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.underline = "1";
the result is, that cell2 is bold and underlined but only the first row of the table. i want all cell2 in all rows bold and underlined.
then i tried this:
data.T1.Tabelle2::ready:form - (JavaScript, Client) -
if(this.Zeile1.Zelle1.rawValue == "01"
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.weight = "bold";
this.Zeile1.Zelle2.font.underline = "1";
nothing happens and i dont understand why. The visible value in Zelle1 is "01"!

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Question regarding Graphics - Print Forms

Hi,
This is a print forms question. We are on ECC 5.0, basis release 640
Currently, for all our SAPscripts, we have our graphics as TIF files stored as text modules.
For our Smartforms, we loaded BMP files to the BDS using transaction SE78.
Adobe brings up the exciting possibility of using smaller sized JPG/JPEG files.
The only place I can think of storing the JPEG files in the SAP system is the MIME Repository. Looks like SE78 does not support JPEG files.
Here's my requirement and question.
In the mime repository, I created folder 'LOGOS' in SAP/PUBLIC. So, the path would be /SAP/PUBLIC/LOGOS
The names of the files in the mime repository are 'LOGO_A' and 'LOGO_B'.
We need to print the company logo based on company code.
If company code is 'A' then 'LOGO_A' else, 'LOGO_B'.
We are reluctant to read the graphic in the ABAP program and pass the whole content through the Interface.
I cannot embed the graphic in the form since the LOGO will change based on company code.
Since we can use an url for an image field in Adobe forms, how can I point the url to the mime repository?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best regards,
-Ramesh

Thanks Markus.
By what you said, I am inferring that you mean access to load the graphic files to the Mime Repository.
My question is to read the Mime repository since users of bsp applications can still see the LOGOs in their bsp pages (I think. Never did BSP before).
Here is what I am doing currently.
Here's my interface:
LOGO_DATA TYPE XSTRING.
In my driver program, I am reading the Mime Repository graphic into an XSTRING and passing it through the interface to the LOGO_DATA field.
I created a Graphic in the Context and set it to 'Graphic Content'.
I am setting the 'Field' property to LOGO_DATA and MIME Type to 'image/jpeg'
Now,
Instead of reading and sending the whole binary content across through the function call, I am looking to see if the following would be possible:
Interface:
LOGO_URL TYPE STRING
In the driver program, assign the URL of the Graphic to field LOGO_URL (Don't know how yet).
In the context, create a Graphic and set it to 'Graphic Reference'
In the URL property, set the Graphic URL property to LOGO_URL field and then clear out the delimiter field.
If it is not possible with the Mime Repository, will it be possible with the Business Document Server (Transaction SE78).
Thank you.
Best regards,
-Ramesh
