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.

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

Printing header text

hi,
when i went through smart form code ,i found the following code for printing texts for items(me23n-->item--
>texts)
in TEXT node in smartform   (for printing item text):
TYPE: INCLUDE TEXT
TEXT NAME : &G_TEXT_KEY&
TEXT OBJECT: EKPO
TEXT ID: F01
LANGUAGE: &SY-LANGU&
How to create text name,text object,text id?
when i gave text name & text id in SO10 &then display it's giving message Text Id F01 for Text Object TEXT does not exist.
how to create text object EKPO instead of TEXT.where can i see this TEXT OBJECT option.
how can i print header texts in ME23N?
please help?

hi mustafa,
1. If you want to create text name, text object, text id.. you have to create functionally in spro settings....
   spro
> mm
> purchasing
> messages
> texts for messages
> define texts for purchase order
    here you can define header texts or item text functionally
If you want to create in you po then go to header text tab and create with respective text
2. if you want to print header texts simply pass only
     po number in text_name,
     text_object : ekko
     text_id : depends up on ur text check i header text tab
    language key u know as usual

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.---->COnfig
2) Every June 15th and Dec 15th I need to print the form for that Order
automatically with some other data.
---> what ? what u split ?
*--Similarly I need to trigger the form in this way automatically for all Orders.
---> Config+ABAP
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?
Edited by: Eric Hopp on May 12, 2010 12:09 AM

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,

How to change pdf (with dark background) so it print with white background and dark text??

I have lots of nice presentations I am studying- the problem is most of them were made in ppt with dark backgrounds and white text then converted to pdf files. So when I print them, I get a dark (black) background with white text- very annoying. Is there anyway to get it to print with a light (or no) backround with black text? This is much easier for note taking/etc. I have adobe acrobat professional.

Use the rectangle shape tool. Draw a rectangle over the entire frame. In the shape tab, color it whatever you want. Export your TGA sequence.
Andy
PS: But if you place a colored bkg in your motion project that you will effectively have no alpha channel. Are they referencing the TGA's alpha?

Adobe Form - Print page at the end for every record of a Z table with Text

Hello friends, I am facing a challenging here and I need to develop the following below. Mind you, I don't have much exposure/experience with Adobe Forms
Scenario: Standard REAL ESTATE Contract Form
I have a Z table containing RENTAL OBJECTS, in my case 3 records and I want, at the end of the form print one page like below to each record that i have in my Z table.
"Dear Z-field1 one, regarding your contract for Z-field2, Address Z-field3, blah blah blah"
In essence, print a page for each one of them at the end, with the text above using the fields from the z table.
I searched the forum and couldn't find any thing like it.
If someone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Marco

Hi Marco,
You must be having the ztable fields in the context or in the data heirarchy of the adobe form.
Assume that your main form is on the page1.
Create a table bound to ztable with 3 rows in it and make it invisible on the form.
Below the form create 3 pages page2, page3 and page4.
Create a ISR text display and on the initialise event write the code such as:
this.rawValue = data.page1.Table2.Row1.Cell1.rawValue;
Create as many ISR texts as you want and initialize it using the above method.
Page1
form
Page2
Row1 values
Page3
Row2 Values
Page4
Row3 Values
Hope this helps.

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!

Printing Header Text in Purchase Order

HI,
Actually I had the problem. A smart form has been developed for printing Purchase Order. Here in smartform a field has been declared to accept whatever the text had keyin in Header Text has to appear in Purchase Order. It is printing correctly until it is of Two paragraphs which consists of two or max three lines. Whenever it is exceeding these two paragraphs even a single word. It is printing something from the middle and in a reverse way. To get the clear picture I will give the example below.
Ex. I) This Purchase Order has been given.
 Delivery has to be make on time.
In the above example it is ok printing properly.
Ex. II) This Purchase Order has been given after
 verification.
 Delivery has to be make on time as scheduled.
 On Delay PO will be cancelled.
In this IInd example the output is showing as
Output: to be make on time as scheduled.
 verification.
 This Purchase Order has been given after
 On Delay PO will be cancelled
 Delivery has
Waiting for your help.
Thanks in Advance.

hi,
Ofcourse, the field is a part of main window in Smart Forms. I will elaborate further, In Main window we declared one Table in the Tables Main Area there is a Row and in a Row there is a Cell in a cell we declared one Text Field which is taking that header text and printing it as output.
I hope you got it.
Waiting for reply with a good solution.
Thanks and Regards.

Section Header Text Background Color

Hi have a catalog that has a running section header that will be placed over a black graphic the width of the page header. I would like to have a white background box appear the length of the header section text, but not be the full length of the text box defined on the master pages for the header. I would like to do this in an automated fashion rather than manual placing the graphic around the header text on each page. It won't work to place a white box under the text as it is part of the background already being a master page item, or am I missing something. In brief can I have a background color that dynamically adjusts to the length of a text string?
Thanks,
Dave

If that text has a character style (or if it doesn't give it one) make the character style include an underline, then make that underline really thick and give it a baseline shift. The same technique is commonly used for highlighting. There's a few other options you can play around with in the underline options too.
