Adobe Forms Landscape Printing

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to set up an Adobe Form to default wider than 8.5 x 11in? I have a Form on a Body Page. In the Layout section I tried to set the Width and I tried the "Expand to Fit" checkbox, but it has no affect.
At design time, I can place fields further than the 8.5inches, but they don't come through at runtime.
Kind regards,
Gough

I Managed to solve this by moving the form into a page and then setting the page to landscape...

Get number of pages of adobe form before printing

Dear Experts,
I want to get number of pages adobe form will print before printing the form.
Please suggest.

Hello Sagar,
Without executing the generated Function Module, it is not possible to get the page count of a form in driver program because the generated FM itself is responsible to execute the whole layout and determine the number of pages in the PDF output. The below screenshot shows the number of pages in the structure /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT of generated FM after the generated FM is executed successfully.
I really don't know why you need the number of pages before calling the generated FM. But if you still need it, then you might need to call the whole FM cycle twice( FP_JOB_OPEN , Generated FM, and FP_JOB_CLOSE ).
1) First time while calling the FM FP_JOB_OPEN, you need to modify the contents of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS structure. Send the blank values in fields GETPDF, REQNEW and REQIMM, and send the "X" in fields NOPREVIEW, NOPRINT and NOARCHIVE and 000 in field COPIES.
The reason for doing this is, we do not want actual PDF output. We only want to determine the number of pages.
2) Now execute the generated FM . You will get the number of pages in the structure /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT-PAGES as shown in screenshot above.
3) Now call the FM FP_JOB_CLOSE as usual.
4) Again call the FM FP_JOB_OPEN. This time you again need to modify the contents of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS structure reversely. Send the "X" in fields GETPDF, REQNEW and REQIMM, and send the blank values in fields NOPREVIEW, NOPRINT and NOARCHIVE and 001 in field COPIES.
This time we need the actual PDF output.
5) Now do the required processing with previously fetched number of pages before calling the generated FM.
6) Now call the FM FP_JOB_CLOSE as usual.

Using the Adobe Forms for printing through portal

Hi All,
I've got a problem with the fact that I do not know exactly how to use the Adobe Forms from the portal.
I've got the Form Objects done (Interface & Form using SE80) and they work OK when testing the form. The Interface gathers all the datas etc. and the form displays this correctly.
My problem now is that I need to have this form available from the portal, and this I presume needs some WebDynPro stuff or something else? I'm totally lost on this part ...
The customer wants to have a button or link in the portal that opens a new window with the produced PDF opened in the new window, much like opening a static PDF file. The user then has the option to print the PDF him/herself using Adobe Readers own print mechanism.
My interface has only one Import parameter (PERNR number) and one EXPORT parameter (default). The PERNR number must be supplied to the interface so that it can gather all the needed data based on this number.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated and rewarded accordingly.
Thankyou in advance,
Kim

Hi Arnab,
from a forms point of view:
(I assume you have the ADS up and running on the Java stack. Without it, the form generation doesn't work.)
If you create your form in transaction SFP and execute the corresponding program that calls the form for testing in SE38, you get to the print dialogue. Here you may choose either locl or lp01 (or any other printer accessible through your network) and then select Print Preview. This should then display the PDF in SAP GUI.
If you are asking about general printer setup within SAP, check the corresponding documentation: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/d9/4a8eb751ea11d189570000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Hope this helps,

Hy Otto,
his requirement was a bit different from what you answered I am saying this because i've stumbled on the same problem. I have a table that varies between 4 or 8 rows and let's say half of the page it's enough for it. But i need this table to appear on every page. I created the table in the Master Page, but it shows only on the first page. The other pages will not display the table.

Adobe form not printing on A4 paperbut printing on letter format

Hi All,
We have made a form on letter format and its working fine.
However when treid tofire output to A4 size paper its not working.
Can some please help me with this,its not that I can change the paper size in my form from letter size to A4.
I want the smartform to be in letter format but I should be able to take the printout in A4 also along with letter format.
Please help me on this. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Kishore Kumar Dasari.

Hi,
Do you use a smartform or an Adobe form? You mention both. If it is a smartform and you specify LETTER in the form, then acommand is sent to the printer to select paper size LETTER. Similarly if you specify DINA4 in the form, then acommand is sent to the printer to select paper size A4.
You can specify page format INCH12 in the form and then no command is sent to the printer so the default paper size of the printer will be used.

Aidan

Change content in adobe forms of Print Preview in Appointment screen

Hi ,
I have a requirement in which I have to change content of adobe forms which comes after clicking on Print Preview in Appointment screen,
I am new to Smart forms and Adobe forms , request expert suggestion onto this.
Thanks.

Try opening in Chrome or Firefox and inspecting the elements. You can turn easily locate the CSS that's driving the background and experiment with settings. You get there by right clicking on an element and select Inspect Element from the options. It's much easier than trying to go through all of that HTML code without a style sheet to go along with it.

Using Adobe Forms to Print 1099Misc

In past years we were using SAP SCRIPT to print 1099misc and need to use something more current. We'd rather not use SMART FORMS but use Adobe Forms. When search in transaction code SFP I found interface GS_IDWTCERT_US_1099 and form IDWTCERT_US_1099MISC.
It appears that transaction codes S_P00_07000134 and S_PL0_09000134 use Smartforms processing.
Can anyone help me figure out how to the abobe interface and forms noted above to process 1099misc forms?
Regards,
Helen

Generally, if you have the fonts on your system, then the fonts should properly display. To embed the fonts on your system, you would again have to have the fonts on your system. It sounds like some fonts are being used that you do not have. You might try downloading the fonts you think might be the problem. Be careful, you have to have the precise font, not one that sounds correct. Even sometimes fonts with the same name are not really compatible. You should be able to select the text touch up tool (new name in AA X) and select some of the text and see what the font name is. Then you know what you should be looking for.

Text in ADOBE form not printing while printing the form

Hi All,
I have created an adobe form and am trying to trigger an output linked to the form. The problem is that the output that gets triggered does not show some of the texts which are existing in the form.
So although the values are coming correctly the overall output becomes incorrect as the text goes missing. Let me know if you have any pointers to the issue I am facing.
Cheers,
Sharadendu

Hi Sharadendu,
First of all you need to put this question in Adobe Form related Forums.
Problems can be many in this case.
1: Overflow subform not selected.
2: Some condition failing in the text or subform.
3: Incorrect nesting of subforms.
Mainly your problem will be with the subforms , so you need to croos check all the subforms which you have used to hold data.

Adobe forms-Bulk Printing

Hello Gurus,
Can you please send me the documentation on bulk printing of forms .
Can you even send me about digital signatures also.
Thanks,
Indra Karan

Hi all,
Regarding the digital signatures:
You can add a signature field to your form from the standard library in Adobe Designer.
You can then check the details when the form is submitted using the <a href="https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/IWDPDFDocumentSignature.html">IWDPDFDocumentSignature interface</a> which is part of the PDFDocument API.
Hope that helps.

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";
