Archive PDF

Hi, can you help me please???
I have to print a very important document with a pdf format (Adobe Acrobat data format) but, in Sap 5.0 I can´t choose this type of format, why??? Is this correct??
Wich device types exist for creating the pdf archive in version 5.0???
Ths

Silvina

Hi,
A solution would be to have in SAP a printer defined as Local (Prints to whatever the users Standard Windows Printer is). In Windows set up a PDF Printer and set it as your standard.

Archiving pdf-document in external store ?

hi there,
i have a projekt, where i have to archive pdf-files on a external archive (ixos). i use the FM 'ARCHIV_CREATE_SYNCHRON_META' to archive the pdf-files.
the big problem is the following: the name of the original pdf-file is not saved. there is only the document-id, which i got back from the archive-server. but in emergency-cases i have to restore all the pdf-files from the archive-server with the ORIGINAL pdf-name. this is important because the name is kind of a 'key' for finding documents in other, non-sap-systems !
any ideas for that ?
regards, Martin

Hi Martin,
If you are getting back the document id then you can store that in custom table where you can store PDF file name and the object id. You will have the name of PDF when you use the FM to archive it.
So whenever you have to get back the file you can refer to the custom table to get the name.
Best Regards,
Chintamani

Where is Archived PDF stored in Adobe Database

For reporting and storage purposes I would like to store the PDFs received by the LiveCycle Server as a part of a workflow.
I would like to know where are the current archived PDFs stored ? or what would be the best way to store the PDF (as a PDF) in our Oracle Database ?
Thanks
Aditya

"You control where they are going to be stored"
Once the process is complete, in Workspace's tracking tab, where are the PDFs generated from ? If they are generated on the fly, I would like to know how do the Digital Signatures show ? I thought the DocumentForm variable saves the document as is.
"Use the JDBC service to store content in a database."
Is Adobe currently implementing this funtionality ?
"You can also store it in content space, which would give you content management like capabilities."
Can you please ellaborate ....

Archived PDF could not be opened after downloaded to PC

Hi
I am using FM ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE to get archived PDF into internal table and then using METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD to download this to PC.
Now when I try to open this PDF, it gives some error. Error reads
Adobe reader could not open "file.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
This was working fine in non unicode 4.7 system, but is not working after upgrade to unicode ECC 6.0 system.
The code is as follows,
*   Get document from archive
    CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE'
      EXPORTING
        ARCHIV_ID                      = l_archiv_id
        DOCUMENT_TYPE                  = l_document_type
        ARCHIV_DOC_ID                  = l_archiv_doc_id
      IMPORTING
        LENGTH                         = l_sapb_length
      TABLES
        ARCHIVOBJECT                   = lt_tab
      EXCEPTIONS
        ERROR_ARCHIV                   = 1
        ERROR_COMMUNICATIONTABLE       = 2

        OTHERS                         = 4.
   CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD
      EXPORTING
        BIN_FILESIZE              = l_length
        FILENAME                  = l_filename
        FILETYPE                  = l_filetype
      CHANGING
        DATA_TAB                  = lt_tab
      EXCEPTIONS
        FILE_WRITE_ERROR          = 1
        NO_BATCH                  = 2
        GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER   = 3
Do we have to change any parameters or anything for unicode system?

Is the filetype declared as 'BIN' in download?

Combining Archive PDFs

Hello,
I've been archiving the responses to my distributed form after I import 50 applications at a time (I'm expecting over 2000+ applications). Eventually I would like to merge my separate archive pdf's into one massive pdf file and I want to be able to go back and edit the original application (e.g., applicant requests to change e-mail address, etc). I know I can make these edits after exporting the content into an excel file but I would prefer correcting the source prior to exporting data. Rather than searching through separate archive files I want one large portfolio that enables me to search through all applications at one time. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Hi Ken,
Acrobat 9 - Layers (navigation panel) [right click on the left side if
not present] and then IMPORT AS LAYER ...
If you have an existing file you can actually get Acrobat to generate
specific layers such as text, images, vector, transparency etc via the
PREFLIGHT / LAYERS category ...
Very slick !

Get and display saved/archived PDF from application server

Hi!
I have a program which uses OPEN DATASET and function modules ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE + ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT to save and archive PDF documents.
How do I retrieve these PDF files (I need to create a list of PDF documents that complies to certain criteria)? Is there a function module I can use?
How do I display the PDF (selected from my list of PDFs by the user), can method EXECUTE of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES be used?
Thank you very much for all your help!

Archiving pdf document with a background job

Hi all,
I wrote an home made application to manage links between SAP and external systems. In this application I've a document number which corresponds to a pdf document I received on a windows file server.
I'm receiving hundreds of pdf documents per day from these external systems and I want to archive them in IXOS from an ABAP program.
I wrote a program to do this using these standard functions :
ARCHIV_CONNECTDEFINITION_GET to get the archive parameters
ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_DIALOG to upload and archive the PDF file
ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT to create the link in SAP
this works perfectly.... in forground.
The function ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_DIALOG does not work in background.
I absolutly need to create an abap program to run it as a job to do this archiving, because I get about 2000 - 3000 documents per day
Does somebody have a solution for this ?
I looked around in this forum and in SAP but I didn' find a solution at the moment
Thank you

Hi,
As you experienced all DIALOG function modules will not work in Batch because the is no connection with a frontend (PC).
You have to get your PDF on a server so you can process them in Batch.
Maybe you can than use the FM: ALINK_DOCUMENTS_CREATE_FILE
Success,
Rob

Problem with sending and archiving pdf document

Hello experts,
I have created the following SAP PI scenario:
First a pdf document will come from our partner to a specified directory. The ftp adapter sender get this file and also set the filename in the adapter specific messages. Then a udf mapping starts to read the filename of the pdf document, because the filename includes a ordernr for a sales order in sap. So the filename will be mapped to an easy rfc structur, afterwards the RFC Adapter will be called. After this I have to archive and delete the pdf document in the origin directory. But this will not work. I tried following steps.
After calling the rfc adapter another receiver determination will be called. That means a ftp adapter receiver is called that gets the filename and copies the pdf document to another directory. This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Furthermore the archive function of the ftp adapter sender does not work. Everything is correct set, but the pdf document will not copy to the right folder. Before I create a Java adapter module for the file adapter sender, that copies and deletes the file in the origin folder, another solution would be better.
Kind regards,
Erkan

Ideally the processing mode Archive should work for your case.
This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Why are you using the RFC structure for the other receiver in receiver determination. Use some dummy name in the Interface name and interface mapping and still the scenario will work. In the receiver channel, use the File type as binary.

Prateek

Archive PDFs attached to PO

It has been proposed that my company attach PDFs to POs as a method of a providing versioning as POs change. Each PDF would represent a different version of the PO it is attached to.
I understand the capability is in place to attach these PDF but I have concerns about our ability to clean up this non-transactional data. The tables in question are soc3 and soff which do not appear to have archiving objects associated with them.
Has anyone else done this and if so how do you control the growth or archive the tables?

good morning
I'm having the same problem in my environment. Already filed with the PO object MM_EKKO and attachments are not archived. We are using ECC.
Tanks for help

Retrieve Archived PDF and print

Hi Folks,
I have certificates which have been archived. Once I get the Archiv Id of the document from TOA01, how do I use this data to print?
The Archived Document is a PDF Document. Could you please advise steps on how this data can be retrieved and printed?
Information I have presently is that I can get the archived data in Binary Format with FM ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE
How do you process this binary data to get it printed?
Greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Archived PDF Documents in UNIX Format

Hi there!
I searched the forums, but i did not find sth. helpfull to my issue.
Maybe someone can help me here.
I want to convert a abap list spooljob to pdf, save it on the application server and write it into our archive.
This is no Problem by using "CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF" then "OPEN DATASET ...." and "ARCHIVE_CREATE_FILE".
But if I retrieve the file from the archive its named like "name.1" So our application (Ceyoniq Viewer) is not able to open it since i change the name into "name.pdf"
I think that the converted spooljob is saved on the application server as a UNIX file and then stored into the archive. So our viewer-application cannot identify it as a pdf File until i change the ending into".pdf"
How can i convert files on the application server from UNIX into DOS Format?
Or maybe somone hes another idea how to solve my problem.
We are using a 4.6C System.
Thanks and best regards
Gerald

Hi
I too am facing the the same problem.
I also want to read a UNIX file on the application server into readable format for my program.
If you have got the answer please tell me.

Unarchive and archive pdf files

People,
I need take a PDF file in Archive, sign digitally and update the Archive with the new pdf signed, using the binary table.
I did the first part, I taken the PDF file on Archive, and signed it.
I have the binary table with this contents and now I need update the Archiving with the new PDF.
I can delete the older file or update it, but all of functions that I used don't works.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_APPEND'
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_UPDATE'.
Also I tried delete and create again, but doesn't works.
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_DELETE'
CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_TABLE'
What function or method I use to make this?
Can Anybody help me?
Regards,
Beghini

After creation the index you need execute next operations.
first, check that your index tables conatins indexed terms. Execute
select token_text from dr$YOUR_INDEX$i;
Second, you will need to check the index errors table CTX_INDEX_ERRORS. This is owned by the user CTXSYS, and most users do NOT have # SELECT privilege to it by default.
If it's OK, then check that your PDF documents is supported by INSO filter.
Citation:
"PDF - Portable Document Format
Acrobat Versions 2.1, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 including Japanese PDF"
(Appendix B. Supported Document Formats in Oracle Text Reference 9.2)
For Oracle 9i you could install 9.2.0.4 patchset (it included INSO FILTER 7.5)
P.S.

Adobe reader keeps archiving PDFs on my desktop

Hi There,
Just set up a new pc at work using windows 7. Installed Reader XI and whenever I try to open a PDF, I get an access denied message. I've checked the file properties and the archived box is ticked. i untick it and open the file, go to open another and get the same issue. It archives all PDFs as soon as I download them and It also re-archives files after I've closed them so I have to do this everytime i need to access something.
Did have a quick flick through the forums to try and find a solution with no joy, though I may just be blind! Can anyone help?
Much obliged!
Rob

Thanks for the quick response,
No, I'm looking at the general tab of the properties menu as below:
