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.

How to print PDF documents on Unix(Solaris)

Hi ,
I wanted to know how to print PDF documents on Unix(Solaris)?
Is there a document or white paper that i can refer to start printing PDF document.
What kind of drivers/utilities will be required to achieve the objective?
Kiran

Have you tried FOXIT? I think there is a trialversion. I tried Adobereader 2.5 but there is still no option to print.

What would be the best Adobe Product option for me if I only need it to be able to convert PDF documents to Excel Format?

Hello, I'm hoping to pick everyone's brain about which Adobe Acrobat Product / License I would need if the only Function I require is the ability to convert PDF documents to Excel format. This would not include Scanned documents.

Only you can decide what is a "best fit".
PDF content export to Excel can be performed by Acrobat XI or either of Adobe's online subscription services "ExportPDF" or "PDF Pack".

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,

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.

Uable to open PDF document in proper format on blackberry browser

We are trying to open a document hosted in MOSS document library using blackberry browser. The document type can word, excel, power point, pdf. But when we are trying to open PDF document using blackberry browser the document is displayed as long string of text message rather than PDF document and strips all the formatting.
But if we email the same document and try opening that in blackberry then it works fine. Please share your thoughts, how we can properly render these documents on blackberry browser. Because this is a show stopper for our solution approach in which user can open any document on his blackberry.

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

PDF Document Properties - Author format issues

As I am creating PDFs to load onto the web I am adding all the document properties that are needed to properly identify each PDF.
However I run into the same problem over and over, when I enter in the author, any commas I use to separate names are then switched to semi-colons. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn this feature off or if I need to just start inserting names in proper order rather than Last Name, First Name.
For example:
Smith, John D.; Anderson, Rachel R.; and Hendersen, Martha
-becomes-
Smith; John D.; Anderson; Rachel R.; and Hendersen; Martha
Do I need to start listing them like this:
John D. Smith; Rachel R. Anderson; and Martha Hendersen
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no way you can edit and document with Exportpdf. Exportpdf only helps you to convert the pdf document to other formats.
Please provide more information what is exactly that you want to perform. And what all Adobe Applications you have.

Activate OCR and Enable Comment in PDF document On an Unix platform

Hi every Body,
I have an amount of PDF document stored on an unix server, and i want to anable "Add comment" feature for all of those documents, so that i can
open every document by Adobe Reader and add comments; sticky, underline....etc. This feature is Avalabe in Acrobat Reader Pro 9 i test it
it work fine, but i need to do same thing in commande line, i mean install a library or something else and i can do this operation by taping a command on shell terminal.
The same problème with te OCR feature.
Thanks for you help

Hi,
Unless you use Acrobat 8 Pro's Formatted Text & Graphics" or Acrobat 9 Pro's ClearScan you will find that there is no
practicable means of editing the OCR "hidden text" in a PDF.
The TouchUp text tool (Advanced Editing toolbar) is reliant upon the selected text having an available system font to use during touchup. However, both Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) OCR output is of text rendering mode 3 (invisible text) that is provided from within Acrobat and not any installed system or other application installed font.
With Searchable Image (Exact) you have the untouched image augmented by the invisible text which is provided as a user aid for search or find with Adobe Reader or Acrobat. The invisible text is not intended to support word processor like editing.
To your questions:
#1. There is no practicable way to edit invisible text (text rendering mode 3) with Acrobat (any past or current release).
#2. None.
#3. A good question. Perhaps a specialty program. Keep in mind, many products provide a promise but those those that actually deliver tend to be expensive.
Something to play with. Using Acrobat 9 Pro or Pro Extended, try the Preflight Fixup to embed hidden text.
Then try using the TouchUp Text tool. You may also want to see if you can change the font type of this newly embedded font.
(use copies of the "real" files - just in case <g>).

Hello,
As i understand with your question - You have to archive the incoming documents which are in PDF format and link it with SAP business document.
If so, then you can achieve by using OpenText Document Pipeline functionality.
Below are the steps need to be performed:
1. For each incoming document there should be control files which is essential for the IXOS job to archive and send the updates to the SAP
- You can refer to OpenText Document Pipeline for the attributes of control file
2. Schedule EXR3 job - agument the exchange directory - where your incoming document with control file are located
Pre-requisites are - ArchiveLink configuration should be defined in SAP.
In this way you can archive the incoming documents to link to SAP transaction data.
You can see the archived information in table TOA0* and also in respective SAP transaction data using GOS service you can display the document.
Hope this will help.
-Thanks,
Ajay

SICF customer service in order to retrieve PDF document from archive (ICC)

All,
I am currently trying to set up a scenario to integrate SAP-VIM (vendor invoice management) with the ICC (invoice capture center; from opentext). In this process the ICC application loads data from SAP together with a scanned invoice (in PDF format) stored in our archive.
Since we are not using any sap-certified archive solution I had to build the data retrieval via custom programming. But when the ICC component is trying to upload the data I am getting following error: "Error while trying to get invoice image(s) and recognition results from SAP: Unable to load datapool. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1." Did someone have experience with this kind of set-up of with the error?
Steps done:
- create a Z-service in SICF with own class (based on copy of CL_HTTP_EXT_CSIF)
- inside this class programmed to data retrieval of the PDF document of the archive (in Base64 format or Binary format)
- filling the header fields of the response via
l_mimetype = 'application/pdf'.
call method l_entity->set_header_field:
    exporting name = 'Content-Type'      value = l_mimetype,
    exporting name = 'Content-Length' value = l_size_s,
    exporting name = 'pVersion'        value = l_pversion,
call method l_entity->set_data
    EXPORTING
      data   = l_data
      offset = '0'
      length = l_length.
l_data = binary data of PDF-file

Hello everyone,
I'm using BI Publisher 11g to generate PDF documents. I had implemented a servlet that uses HTTP POST/GET to simulate the behaviour of BIP console since ScheduleReport Service is not implemented in this version. The problem is about the output of the final documents when i'm not using the bursting option. From my experience, the documents are not saved in any temporary folder in the filesystem. Looking at DEV_BIPLATFORM schema and analysing XMLP_* tables, i'm assuming that the generated document data is the BLOB DATA field in the XMLP_SCHED_DATA table...this is right?
Next, in java, i'm using the BLOB field to output his binary content to a PDF file but, when i try to open the file, it gives an error: "document may be damaged"...
Any suggestions here would be appreciated...
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
NP1. Yes, it contains the output document.
2. If the output type is PDF then the BLOB contains a zip file which contains the PDF document.
So first unzip it before rendering

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.
