Printing graphics in Adobe forms

Hi,
I have a requirement in adobe forms where I need to print graphics stored as standard text (SO10) or on document server (SE78) by calling them inside a long text.
The client was doing this in legacy with SAP script and it was working fine but adobe form does not support this feature (as far as I know)
Is there any way we can print graphics by calling them inside long text?
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Regards.

Hi,
To print the graphic from SE78 in Adobe form you need to do the following steps.
1. Convert the graphic into graphic_content(XSTRING) using
call method cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
2. Create Graphic node in Context in Adobe form with the properties
Grphic type as graphic content
Field as graphic_content(XSTRING)
MIME type as 'BMP'
3. In layout create an image field and bind it to graphic node created in context.
Regards,
Raju.

How to upload Graphic in ADobe forms

Hi Guru,

When I print Invoice for a particular sales organization, I need to print its "LOGO" and when same adobe form prints the invoice for another sales organization it should print its logo.
How can i control the above situation dynamically ?
Please help.

Hi Raju,
Images in a Adobe form can be embeded in 2 different ways.
Approach1: This is static approach form would have only one image at all times which is refered by the file name (alter natively if you can manage to place different images with the same file name at runtime then this can be dynamic)
1) have the image located in the application server path.
2) Have the Emage lement in Adobe form pass the file location path to the element source.
3) At run time it will fetch the file from the location.
Approach2: (I am not a core abaper so not sure how its done but we have done it for a mobile application)
1) using your abap code read the image from the location (find out how to pick the org specific's image).
2) convert the image into byte stream.
3) pass on this byte stream to the form via a string field.
4) in the form have the image field.
5) this time here instead of selecting the path, bind it to this particular field from the data source.
i think there are coup[le of blogs here @ this, please search it ..

Standard print program for Adobe Forms

Hi all -
Does anyone know if there was a standard print program delivered for the predelivered Adobe form F110_AVIS_INT? And if there is - what is it? Is there any document anywhere to determine predelivered print programs for Adobe forms?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
In SAP you can check for the Print Programs in Tcode <b>OB96</b>
which gives assignment of programs to script layouts
see the links related to Adobe forms
look at the Adobe page here in SDN:

Can not get print preview of Adobe forms

Hi Gurus,
I am not able to see the print preview of adobe forms, and when i click on print preview, i get this error code..
Exception SYSTEM_ERROR
Message ID: FPRUNX Message number: 001
I don't see any logs from SM21, and so I don't think this some code error... I configured ADS as per the document, and all the configuration tests are passed except this print preview...

Inserting a Graphic in adobe form using SFP

Hi all,
       by using Form & Interface in SFP Transaction
       i want to display a logo(image) not by using url(not images from hard disk), i want to use the image which is present in the sap (ie., i want to use the images in se78). How can i achieve this????
I used the following procedure, even though i couldnt achieve:
1.      Select an existing node in the context, under which you want to create a graphic node.
       2.      In the context menu of the node, choose Create ® Graphic.
       3.      The system creates a graphic node under the selected node. Enter the required data about the graphic in the Properties window under the form context.
You can choose from the following graphic types:
○       Graphic Reference
Choose this option if you want to insert a graphic from its address (URL). The URL can point to a Web server or to a file system. You must be able to access the graphic at the specified URL. This means that you may have to configure appropriate access rights for Adobe Document Services (ADS). Graphics stored in MIME Repository cannot be accessed through a URL. To use these graphics, choose Graphic Content.
○       Graphic Content
Choose this option if you want to specify graphic content using a field. This field contains all image information at runtime. The graphics must be in MIME Repository.
       4.      The entries you need to make depend on whether you chose Graphic Reference or Graphic Content in the last step.
○       If you have chosen Graphic Reference as your graphic type, enter the URL of the graphic.
Note
In Adobe LiveCycle Designer, you can choose whether the system gets the graphic at runtime, or whether the graphic is embedded in the form. For more information, see the online help in Adobe Designer.
○       If you have specified Graphic Content as your graphic type, you must do the following:
■       In Field, enter a field name from the interface. The field must have the type STRING (graphical data is Base64-coded) or XSTRING (for binary-coded graphical data).
■       Enter a valid MIME type, such as u2019image/bmpu2019.
       5.      Under Conditions, enter the prerequisites that need to be met before the graphic node is processed at runtime and displayed in the form.
I cant get the image....................................
Please provide the step by step details.....
Thanks,
Vichu

Hii,
Try to add one more field for text field for each line item and make sure use a flag .
if the flag is true then make it visible use the below JavaScript code to hide a particular field.
his script will hide the field in runtime if it is initial.
hidden or presence make sure use the conditions as per the require to hide the text or to make it visible
Enter the below JavaScript in the editor & Select the language as JavaScript.
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";

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.

How to find standard print programs for ADOBE forms

Hi All,
My question is how to find the standard SAP print program for a SAP provided ADOBE form. For example - how to find what is the satndard SAP provided print program for the ADOBE form for payment advice 'F110_AVIS_INT'.
As by default in the transaction F110 (where the payment advice form configuration is done), a SAP Script form is attached and the print program assigned is an SAP Script (as it contains call to function module like open_form, write_form... ) program and not an ADOBE print program.

Hi Renu,
I have gone through the link provided by you but it only shows a list of standard PDF forms.
My question was how to find the standard SAP provided print program (or driver program which contains the data fetch logic and passing of the data to the interface of the ADOBE form) for these SAP provided ADOBE form.
If SAP has provided standard ADOBE form then definitely they would also have provided the standard print program too ?
@Srihari,
The path system --> Status --> program SAPLFPUIFB is the standard program for the SFP transaction and not for the payment advice form F110_AVIS_INT.
It will be same for all the ADOBE forms if we check in System --> Status --> Program.

Print PDF in Adobe form

Hi EXpert...
I have a documen in PDF format.. I want to print this in classical adobe form as a photo.. is this possible???
thanks,
Shri

Hi Shri,
As per my understanding you want to do the reverse scenario.You need to create Adobeform through an existing PDF file.
If you want to do this...I don`t think it is possible because we create layouts in Adobeform like SMARTFORMS & SCRIPTS and you are trying to create layout through your existing output.
Please let me know also if it is possible.

Printing ADDRESS in Adobe form in capitals only

Hi
I am using Address Node in Adobe form by passing ADRNR ( Address Number) and country to it to print Address .
It is coming in small letters. I need only in CAPITALS. Please guide.

Î fear you then need to print the adress manually.
As far as i know there is a parameter you can set which will result in printing the COUNTRY in dapitaly letters, but thats all. so if you need all in capitals, you need to code it line by line yourself.

Print Program for Adobe Form QM_8D_Report

Hello,
I want to use the given Adobe form "QM_8D_REPORT" but I can not find a basic print program in SE38 for it.
Do I need to write the whole print programm from beginning or is there a default print programm delivered by SAP which I can use?
Thank you for help!
Best regards.

Hi,
Go to the package of the form, its QM_PDF.
Check the reports there. There is only one report RQPRPP10_PDF. I hope its the report you are looking for.
The include program where the form is being called is RQPRPP10F01_PDF.
