Printing form contents

I have a form created in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I amsending it to others to complete the form. Is there any way for them to print the form and it's contents after it is completed?

Yes, they can print but maybe not to PDF file.
If they need to save the PDF and send a copy back, then you will need to apply "Extended Reader Rights". Carefully read the EUL since there is a limit as to how many copies of a form you can distribute.

What is the best way to print the contents within a scrolling textbox in a fillable form?

I have created a form using Acrobat 9 Pro which contains several text boxes that allow for unlimited text. When printing out completed forms, any text that requires scrolling will not print. Is there any way to be able to print the contents of all text boxes regardless of length of content?

Yes, when you set the font size to Auto, the font size shrinks to include all the entered text in the visible area. Otherwise the hidden the text is not displayed and you see observe a "+" sign. You might also want to consider the option to make your form flowable using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

How to print a PDF form content when i have the content

Hi SAPGURUS,
I have an urgent requirement.
I have the content of a PDF form in raw format and it is saved in some repositry .Now How can i create a spool request and print the form.
I can use the function module FP_JOB_OPEN and then gat the dynamic function module name and then close it by FP_JOB_CLOSE .
But as i already have the PDF form content i need not create it again by calling the dynamic function module.And i can't do so because both applications are altogether separate from each other that is creation of the PDF form and printing it.
Could you help me in guiding the way to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I have currently the same issue, please have you solved it?

Creating layout in PDF Based Form to print table content.

Hi ,
I am facing problem in creating the layout of PDF Based Form . I do not need any interactive text but only active table in my context whose data i need to print . What i did was drag the table from data view into the body page and activate . When i run it i only get a table structure but without any data .
Can any one help me or give a pointer to any tutorial for this ?. I have checked in SAPnet for PDF Based Print Form but it somehow skips how to create layout.
With regards,

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,

Print context content on a client local printer

Hi All,
We need to print the content of my context node using local printer of the client PC. We cannot use Adobe Forms because it is not supported on our UNIX platform.
We tried to use some Java libraries, but print goes to J2EE's server printer.
SAP EP is placed in Internet, not in Intranet.
May you help us?
Regards,
Matteo.

Are your clients PCs also running UNIX?
If they are Windows systems, you could export the context data to Excel and print from there. There is a tutorial here in SDN.

Adobe print forms - Intergration with Webdynpro ABAP

Hi
We are working on SAP Adobe print forms with Webdynpro ABAP. We are getting the PDF form's Hexadecimal content as a part of the FPFORMOUTPUT parameter when we execute the FM of the Form.
I tried to assign that to a context variable and assigned that to the PDFSource of the form and tried to generate the PDF. But is is showing a black page.
Can you please suggest a way if any to get this done.
Regards,
Srikanth.

You can use the print form directly. I mean the same way as you would use the WD/ online form. Provide the form name, the data source and stuff and the form should work. If that would be an interactive one, you would not be able to change any values if the form is based on DDIC dictionary, but since you want to use the printform, this is not your concern.

Printing window contents in webdynpro ABAP

Dear fellow SDNers,
The first reply that may come to your mind for this post is that "This has been discussed numerous times in this forum".
But the fact is that I am not able to make out how it is possible to print the contents of a webdynpro window. I want a print-screen like functionality wherein i click a button on the view and the contents of the same view, along with the ui elements, values entered everything should open for print-preview in another window. The new window should basically have the same view displayed, with none of the user actions enabled. From there i need to actually print through another button if the user so desires.
Having done a search, I found that people have suggested ways to do it easily in webdynpro java. But i need to do it in webdynpro abap.
Also, some posts mention the use of interactive forms. But I could not make out how to pass the entire view displayed to a form at runtime. Do I need to create a form separately and display it using the interactive form ui element? What I could find out was that the values of the context node attributes can be passed on and mapped to an adobe form but that is not what i require. I need the entire view layout as it is displayed.
Please help me out on this. If this is the exact requirement that is discussed many times in the forum then I request you to please lead me to the right threads.
Regards,
Priyank

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.

Adobe print form margin problem

Hello,
I am trying to print a Adobe print form on Kyocera printer(Using HPLJ4 device type).
I want to print content from 0.5 CMs, but if i give no margin in the design,Output is being Cropped.Print preview is okay.
Can any one help me?
Thanks,
Guru Prasad

Hello,
I think you can try with different device type like POSTSCPT or SAPWIN,
During the print it use different character widths when you use different device types to
output the same form, HPLJ4 is PCL-5 and the largest.
You can refer to notes 90437 and 183948 for more information.

Colors of the Icons in the Print Document Content Window

When you right click a single source layout and click properties and then click next it takes you to the Print Document Content Window, where you can take topics and by clicking the arrow that points to the right hand frame, move the topics into your print document.
I have seen posts on this forum where people talk about the colors of the icons on this screen. I have seen these icons colored blue, white and grey, but nowhere in the documentation or on these forums are the colors specifically documented, telling you what they really mean.
I have a situation where for one of my single source layouts, the colors of the topics on the left pane are blue and the colors on the right pane are white. Meanwhile, in another one of my single source layouts the colors on the left are blue, but the colors on the right are grey and that single source layout doesn't generate the topics that I want.
Can anyone explain to me what these colors mean, and if as I am thinking, grey means not there, why are they there in one single source layoput and not in the other?
Below are some screen shots that illustrate my issue.
This is the bad screen.
and this is the good one.

Hi there
The gray icons signify that the topics have been excluded by virtue of using a Conditional Build Expression.
The blue icons signify that the topics are included in the Printed Output.
Cheers... Rick

Form content saved but no longer visible

I am having an issue similar to a previously reported issue with form content, but not the same.
I have created a form in Acrobat 10. I filled it out in Acrobat 10.   I saved from Acrobat 10
I have viewed it several times in Acrobat 10.   I printed it from Acrobat 10.
Today, the content is gone, but not really.
In the privew of Windows File Manager, I can clearly see all the fields are filled. But if I try to print, the content doesn't print. If I open in Acrobat, it acts like any other BLANK form in Acrobat.
Doesn't matter if I'm in Preview or Edit or even in Acrobat Reader.
I have tried exporting the content and re-importing... no luck
I have tried selecting all, and changing font settings or visibility... no luck
As I stated above, I can see the content is saved as it's visible with file explorer, but not in Acrobat or Reader.

Ok this is strange.. I couldn't find Page Properties - Actions - Page Open under Pages Panel but under Javascript... is "Set Document Actions" and has
Document Will Close, Will Save, Did Save, Will Print, Did Print which I assume are default possible actions that are all blank... HOWEVER... when I click EDIT ALL...
I get a lot of XML all having to do with clearing and not saving and such in different scenarios..   I highlighted some lines of interest...
