Printing wide ABAP in PDF form leads to very small fonts

Hi all,
Our solution uses EP (NW2004s) as well as SAPGUI for HTML (ECC6), and printing is only through Front-end printing. Hence, we are only able to open the output in Adobe Reader and then print using the OS defined printers.
This works fine for most ABAP lists, but if the list is very wide (eg. 400 columns), the output is still converted to a 210 X 279 MM PDF file, and the fonts have been shrunk terribly to fit into the page. Hence, is there any way to change the paper size of the pdf file (make it landscape for example), or to print the output in multiple pages.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
Pls try to use the Function Module ARCHIV_CVT_OTF_2_PDF_SAMPLE
and please let me know whether it solves the issue.
We Shall look into it.
Thanks
Ravi Aswani

Mail is printing in very small font

Out of the blue my mail (when printed) comes out in very small font. When viewing my mail this is not happening. I did not make any changes to my mail preferences and cannot find a location to reinstall a font which is at least 12 or 14 pt. when I choose to print something. Help.

First of all, your post above says you're running OS X Version 10.4.11, which is several years old now. Since this is a Mountain Lion forum, I will assume that your post is incorrect about your version.
Font size on print is determined, among other things, by making the page fit. Check the settings on the print page. They affect scaling:

Kindly guide me to overcome this issue .
Thanks and Regards,

this is no adobe specific error, it's from your application. You've some entries in your customizing so that specific texts are expected by the form.
go to the context, search your text there and check wheter the checkbox "no error when text is missing" is activated or not...
if the textbox is not activated but the text is missing --> thats the behaviour you have

PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
Should I post this in the PDF forums?

Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
Add a text field to your form.
There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

New printer prints texts in very small font

This is an HP Photosmart c4650. I have correctly installed (and at the suggestion of an HP tech, uninstalled and reinstalled) the software that came with the printer. The scan and copy functions are fine. And the print quality is also good. The issue is that everything that prints out is in a super small font (maybe 7). This is true whether I am trying to print from a word, notepad, or web document. HP has been unable to resolve this. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you try the steps in the document and see if it helps:

Ouput Inside of PDF email is now Very Small

Hi,
We have our SAP ouput go through scot and become a PDF on a regular basis. All of a sudden the image inside the pdf is very small compared to what it was the day before. This happened on one day, about 3 weeks ago.
ECC 6.0
1) Checked for transports that day. Cant find anything.
2) Checked pdf1 device type, all looks good.
3) Checked format and basic X_PAper so no change.
4) The SAP spool seems to be formatted normally and not small. (before it becomes a PDF)
Cant figure out what would have changed to make this start happening all of a sudden.
Any ideas?
thanks
brad

Hi Brad,
I suposse its either a problem on the compression (SAP note 843480?) or with the reader itself. Do you get the same problem on other workstations with other versions of Adobe reader or the reader you are using?

Need help on remote printing info for custom PDF form...

Hi,
I did quite a lot of search on this requirement but failed to access the correct info in this forum. In case anyone has already done this, please do explain and point to the right link. thanks
I have a custom table where I will maintain every customer's email id, printer name (printer in his network where he wants me to print this PDF output, there can be multiple printers separated by comma) and his fax number.
Question 1: For remote printing,what all details do I need to maintain in my custom table regarding that printer (IP address or what ?? )? Also, any other configuration to be done to make this happen ?
Question 2: In my code how do I trigger my ADOBE form to be sent to that remote printer for printing ?
Currently I have done
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
CALL FUNCTION z_FUNCNAME
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
As of now, the print dialog opens and i can see the adobe output in the print preview option. This is OK for me when I want to do local printing. But how do I trigger the remote printing automatically based on the values in the custom table.
This is purely a custom transaction based printing and hence no output determination is configured .
Apologies if this question is repetitive, but I fail to assimilate the required info from the forum.
thnks

resolved.thanks

Printing PDF form with information as PDF document

I've recently filled out a PDF form application with various information. I went to save this as a PDF file in Adobe Reader for my records but this is not supported. I was only able to print out a hard copy. Is there any other program or routine that supports printing a filled-out PDF form to a PDF file?
In a Windows environment there were a number of 3rd party programs that could do this. For some reason this option is blocked under OS X native PDF print routine. Thank you for any insights.

Click "print", and in the confirmation dialogue, select "Print as PDF". This will save what would have been printed as hard-copy as a PDF file.

Why would my PDF Form print out the tab order on top of my form fields?

When this user prints out the filled out PDF form we created, it prints the tab order as a little square numbered box right on top of the form field entry. The tab order prints over all types of fields, text entry fields, check box fields, etc.
I am not sure if this issue is related to someone using a non-Adobe PDF reader, or an issue with their printer? Unfortunately, we cannot duplicate this issue ourselves and are hesitant to interrogate our client futher on the matter.
Has anybody else ever seen this type of print out from a PDF form issue?

Thanks for your reply! Based on your suggestion I did a little experimenting.
This is a form saved to Enable User Rights so PDF viewers can fill out and email or save the form. After seeing your question, I opened the form for editing (actually saving a copy first that was not restricted, and editing the copy). I then toggled the Tab Numbers on via Tools > under the Forms header I clicked Edit > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Show Tab Numbers. After revealing the tab numbers I then tried to save the form as a Reader Extended PDF, but the Enable Additional Features option was grayed out. Even if I wanted to, I could not save the form with the tab numbers revealed.
The form itself was also received by our company electronically and when viewed does not show the tab number order and when we print it, it prints as expected (no tab order numbers).
We are suspecting that this may be an issue either with the end users printer? Or possibly viewing and printing via an alternate viewer like Foxit?
Anybody run across this odd behavior?

How do I print all responses as pdf without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

How do I print all responses as pdf forms without selecting and printing just one response at a time?

Sorry this is not supported at this time. You can only download the responses as PDF one at a time.
You can export the response table and print the whole table but if you want to print each response individually you have to do it manually. Sorry.

End user have ability to change font style in text field of interactive pdf form?

Does the end user of an interactive pdf form able to change the font style, i.e.: make something bold or underline a word in a text field?
I am making a form with text fields and the end user would like the ability to make something bold or underline it.. I do not see anywhere in acrobat that allows styles to be changed.
I have created the form in Indesign > saved it as an interactive pdf and brought it into Acrobat.

Thank you for the quick response! Do you set this in Indesign before exporting or do you set this in Acrobat? I am in Acrobat 10.1.10 and when I go to properties it doesn't give me 'options' to choose from.

Report in PDF Format is Very Small , Why?

I run the report in browser , it is ok, but when taking output in PDF display is also ok , but when prints the report, it prints 3/4 size of actual report, means very small.
How to over come this problem.
Can any one help me.
Thanks.

Hello,
Is your reports executed on UNIX or on Windows ?
If it is executed on UNIX, do you generate a PCL output or a Postscript output ?
There is a known probem with PCL with the decimal separator used in the output.
In this case, the variable LANG can be used to fix this problem.
Example ::
LANG=en_US ; export LANG
