Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms.  We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms.  The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form.  If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine.  However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off.  It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form.  We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time.  We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before? 
Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
Thank you for any help.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution.  Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool.  When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area."  So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself. 
After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
Thank you!

    I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures.  How do I fix this?

    When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually.  Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
    Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

  • Seperate Adobe Form printing for each order

    Hi,
    I have a scenario where i need to print Adobe Form for each order.
    Right now i am handling this from print program(Executable) by looping at the Adobe form FM for each order.
    So it will print seperate Adobe form for each order with corresponding Header & Item Data.
    To get next order i need to hit on right & last arrows etc...
    So right now i am handling it through Print Program.
    Is there any way it can be handled directly at Adobe Form level.
    By passing all orders to Adobe FM at a time (Intsead of looping) and handling Adobe Form printing for each order at Adobe Form level itself!
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Kumar.

    simple,
    create one new program  not driver program . Then u have to call that FORM
    1.Get all the data created during the dates.
    split the data into , based on the date ranges.
    2.
    loop at itab1.
    perform open_form
                write_form
                close_form
    endloop.
    loop at itab2.
    endloop.
    1) I need to print the form automatically when an Order is created.<b>---->COnfig</b>
    2) Every June 15th and Dec 15th I need to print the form for that Order
    automatically with some other data.
    <b>---> what ? what u split ?</b>
    *--Similarly I need to trigger the form in this way automatically for all Orders.
    <b>---> Config+ABAP</b>
    How can I trigger the Form automaticall for the above requirement

  • Adobe Form print/email - Attach IXOS .tif images via string table param?

    I am attempting to create an Adobe Form print/e-mail output for Invoices, with zero, one or many attached pages from the IXOS archive.  (TIFF files.)  So far I have managed to attach exactly one IXOS image.  Now I need to make the number of attached images dynamic.
    This is in Netweaver 7.0 / ECC 6.0 ehp 3 / LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
    My ABAP driver program is a copy of SD_INVOICE_PRINT01.  In pseudocode, I've added:
    Logic to identify correct IXOS image.
    Logic to extract IXOS image to application server's file system.
    OPEN DATASET image.tif FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    READ DATASET image.tif INTO xstring.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_BASE64_ENCODE' EXPORTING xstring IMPORTING string.
    APPEND string TO string_table.
    CALL FUNCTION form_name EXPORTING attachments = string_table.
    The form interface is a copy of INVOICE_INTERFACE (ABAP dictionary-based.)  I've added import param. ATTACHMENTS type STRING_TABLE.
    In the form's context tab, interface import param. ATTACHMENTS was dragged & dropped onto the context pane, yielding:
    - Table ATTACHMENTS
    -- Structure DATA
    --- Field ITEM.
    In Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I *can* create an image field with binding ATTACHMENTS.DATA[1].ITEM - that prints the TIFF from IXOS just fine.
    What *does not* work is placing ATTACHMENTS on the form as a table of image fields.  I've tried several combinations - most look like this:
    - Table or Subform ATTACHMENTS, binding ATTACHMENTS, repeat for each data item max = 1.
    -- Row or Subform DATA, binding DATA[*], repeat for each data item min = 1.
    --- Image field ITEM, binding ITEM.
    The result is consistently one blank page.  No more, no less.
    Can anyone help?

    Hello,
    I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
    Would be better than nothing I guess,

  • Formatting Long Text gets disturbed during Adobe form Printing

    Hi Guru's,
    I have developed Adobe Form for PM work Orders (IW32) printing using Code u2018SFPu2019. The Order Contains order Long Text or Operation Long Text.
    In my case the user maintains some table like structure in the Long text .e.g. ( Here the tab means the actual space and the text length can vary. So basically he will draw a table cells one below another by adjusting tab's)
    Text 2 Tab Tab   |___|___|
    Te TabTab Tab |___|___|
    I am reading this using READ_TEXT and it gets perfectly read.( I mean the tab positions will be intact. Also it will remain intact by the time ADS will get called)
    When i submit this for generating Adobe Form the formatting of the tab positions gets disturbed and it prints something like
    Text 2 |___|___|
    Te |___|___|
    How to keep the Tab positions intact while printing the Adobe Form? For SAP script printing it comes perfectly but for Adobe form printing it gets disturbed. Any idea how to handle this situation?
    Thanks
    Pradeep

    Tough request!
    You have to calculate the widths of texts so that to determine to which tab position refers each tab character.
    You might print the sapscript to OTF format, and read the OTF to get the exact positions (based on top left border of the page).
    But now comes the second big issue: how to position a text in Adobe form at a dynamic position. That, I don't know. You might ask a question about this 2nd issue in forum

    I am trying to use my iPhoto pictures as my screen saver on my mac book air.  Many of the pictures' heads are cut off.  How do I get the pictures to fit the screen properly without the pictures be distorted?

    Open the screen saver control panel. Right above the preview window there's a popup menu. You'll probably want to set it to "Fit to screen" so the pictures will be resized to show on the display.

  • Adobe Forms: Printing Header Text - Background as Dark

    Hi,
    We are upgrading our ECC system to Enahncement Pack 5.
    We have Adobe forms for Sales Order, Delivery Notes,... In Border Palatte, we have set 'Solid' as a background fill for our header texts
    After applying patches, Adobe forms started printing header texts background very Dark.We are not able to read the texts. If I view the document in the spool then they are displayed correctly. If I save spool document on the desktop and print it then also output is printed as we want. Only when we print it directly through VA01, VA02 ( directly from SAP ) then it gives this error.
    I removed the background fill then it prints text correctly but then I loose the separation between header and content.
    I will appreciate any help in this regard

    Hi mrudul,
    as usual in programming, you got different ways to solve the problem. So if you work through the content here on SCN you will find a lot of examples how to decide between different letter heads. The easiest solution (and might be the best) is to pass the necessary data via the interface and do not add any condition in the form itself.
    How to create a dynamic field and all the stuff is very basic knowledge, so I think you do not need any explaination how to do that. If so I refer you to the official documentation provided by SAP.
