Archive (extrenally) from spool?

Hi all,
i need to export printed documents (smartforms and Sapscripts) to an external archiving tool. all i really nee to do is to dump the doc as pdf in a special directory with certain parametrs in the filename. I tried a Fm that is called from within every smartform which archives the smartform. But for Sapscript this is not so easy.
So i'm looking for an alternative way.
is it possible to pick up the documents from the spool and then archive them according to certain parameters in the spooljob?
Is there a badi or exit in the spool program available to implement?
Or is there an other approach to this?
All suggestions are welcome, point will be awarded when usefull.
Thansk alot in advance,
Joris Bots

Importing archived project from DVD

I used burn disk to arcive a project to a DVD. That seemed to work fine.
I then started a new project and tried to import the "archived project from the DVD and I keep getting this error:
The file could not be imported: The file “Macintosh Hard Disk/Volumes/Media Drive/Home movies/Billie Jo awards” can’t be imported; QuickTime couldn’t parse it: -43
So far I am unable to import this DVD or anything else into iMovie
Any Ideas?
David

Your Archived DVD Project will only open in iDVD.
To access the video you will need the burned copy of the DVD
To import your DVD you will need a DVD ripper. I use Mac the ripper http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22715.
If you want to only import the video (to edit or watch on your computer) chose in mode chapter extraction and select the ones you want (yes you can select them all). Then you will need to condvert the .VOB file (found in the video_TS file) to a .MOV or H264 using FFMpegX http://ffmpegx.com/download.html. If the binaries dont work just press cancel (you dont need them for this conversion). Then import your .MOV or .MP4 file into iMovie.
That should do it

this generates spool in SP01. Ideally it should generate a PDF spool file but it generates a BIN file of Format G_RAW. When I display the spool it displays all kinds of japanese characters which does not make sense,.
I setup printer ISJB with device type JPPDF (PDF converted for Japanese characters). Does any one know where the problem could be? Why I could not print the Spool in PDF?
Thank you,

Download Tab Delimited file from spool!

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to download tab delimited txt file from spool?
Spool is created for Statements and Invoices from Sap Script and Smartform which is in OTF format.
I am able to download this in Text file but I need this file in tab delimited format.

I don't understand what you want to do as it seems impossible : the spool contains miscellaneous data, not compatible with tab delimited files which are used to store 2-dimensional tables (columns, rows).

Printing SFP ADOBE generated pdf from spool.

I am trying to print ADOBE PDF file to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter. It successfully writes a pdf file to the spool. When I either release that spool file to print or have the print job set to print immediately I get a spool error - unable to read format G_RAW l_rc =128. However I can print the pdf from preview. It is NOT an issue with the printer printing the pdf file as I can do this. My issue is that I cannot print directly to the printer via the SAP spooler. I have entered incident to SAP with specific example of my program that produces the pdf spool file. I am directed to read notes that imply I have ADS problem which is ridiculous as I have plenty of SFP generated pdf files printing to HP and Canon laser printers. Again i am trying to print a very large label 2 X2 foot to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter directly via spool. My task is to direct label to different printers based upon MATNR field.
I would appreciate response from only people who have printed SPF ADOBE pdf to plotters.
The pdf that was created file size 5.7 KB.
SPAD settings
Device Type HPGL HPGL : Bus.Graphics: HP/GL plotter Device Class Standard printer
Model HP Designjet Z5400
Host Spool Access Method G G: Frontend print with control technologie

new component SAPPDFPRINT, interactive forms can be printed on any Windows printer just like all of the other spool requests with the SAPWIN device types.
Refer to SAP notes:
1444342 - Device type-independent printing of ADS forms
968394 - Forms Printing from spool and from Preview PDF differ
1630403 - Mass printing of Adobe documents

How can I prevent my Camera Archive import from being interrupted by timecode breaks?

I'm trying to create Camera Archives from my old mini-dv tapes. I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV22 connected via FireWire. When I start the Camera Archive import process, everything is fine for a while but then the process stops with a message about a break in the timecode preventing the archiving from completing.
Solutions to this problem I've seen online relied on changing import preferences in Final Cut 7. Unfortunately, I only have Final Cut Pro X and I'm not sure how to control this setting.
I don't really care about timecodes, I just want to dump the entire tape to disk so I have a backup of the tape but the timecode break is interrupting the process and making me get involved a lot more often during the import process.
Does anyone know how to force Final Cut Pro X to push through timecode breaks in a Camera Archive import?

To clarify, this problem is not simply making me get involved more, but is preventing the Camera Archive operation from completing.

Some columns missing from spool

Hi All,
we have one Z- program, that wil create spool out put,
but 2 cloumns are missing from spool out put,
how can we increase the size of the spool ouput?
Regards,
Suresh.D

Hi All,
I think suresh is asking about spool Request not general output.
Suresh You need to talk to your basis consultant to increase the size(I forgot the technical name of this size, sorry).
But Natuarally they never accept your request.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Archive (extrenally) from spool?
