Attach a PDF document to Device Location

Hi all,
We have a requirement to attach a PDF document to a Device Location. Ideally we are looking for an approch to upload a PDF document which would contain some instructions for the Business Users. This would help the user to check the PDF document and perform Activties according to the instructions.
Could you please guide through, if SAP allows for such an option to upload PDF file or any document to a Technical Object.
It would be appreciated if you suggest few examples as well.
Regards,
Sai

Thanks Rajat,
I too found that option later. I shall Explore more on that.
One quick question, services for object works find for Technical Master Data but for some reason its not working on Business Partner. The options in it ate grayed out. Any Idea ?
Also, Services for object is not available for another user. Is it realted to any profile settings or will be in default to all users ?
Thanks for you help once again.

Dear Friends,
I am working on a requirement to build an interface for Invoice posting/Parking.
Transaction used: FB60
Invoice data will be stored in a staging server, same has to be read and posted in SAP. Till posting part i am clear with the requirement. Invoice data will be in a flat file which i can read and store in my Custome table.
But customer is asking to attach a PDF document (which is a kind of supporting document not the invoice data) while doing the posting.
My queries are:
1. How to fetch the PDF files placed in an external staging server.
2. How to attach those files while doing the posting/parking as job is executed in background.
I want to use BAPI BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK for parking the Invoice, but where to attach the PDF.
Or can i do BDC to attach the document?
Any info on this is highly appreciated and rewarded.

Attaching a PDF document to an order from Web

Hi,
We have a requirement to attached a PDF document to an order in SAP from a web front end (its a custom web application written in cold fusion). We currently create orders from this web application which talks to SAP via XI. I know that using the "Services For Object" option in SAP GUI we can upload external document. Is there a BAPI that can be used to send the document from WEB to be added as an attachment on the order?
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Tom,
ArchiveLink is a service integrated in the SAP Web Application Server for linking archived documents and the application documents entered in the SAP system.
Linking documents according to content guarantees long term easy access to the documents. From the screen of the application document, you can directly display the stored document that is associated with it. You can also use attributes to search for documents. This replaces time consuming processes such as making copies of originals, searching for procedure-related information, etc.
There would definitely be content repository which will be connected to SAP through archivelink. Pls confirm the same with Basis.
You can look at the customizing through
IMG->SAP Web Application Server -> Basis Services -> ArchiveLink
Also pls refer to:

Ah ok,
then the only way I know is to get hold of some one with skills in Smart Forms, and alley up with them. Or better yet, use it as an excuse to learn to do it your self
With a Smart Form, you can parse data into it, create the file, and then use the GOS functionality to attatch it to your BO. All this in back ground!
Kind regards

Open Data Object - Open File attachment within pdf document

I am trying to build a script which will open file attachments embedded in a pdf document.
I have used the following javascript to list all embedded files within a document so I can retrieve the name
var d = this.dataObjects;
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
console.println("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);
The console reported:
Data Object[0]=MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf
Data Object[1]=MTP-300-X-1240_A.pdf
I then used the following script to open the file
this.openDataObject("MTP-300-X-1210_A.pdf");
Console reports back as follows and does not open the file:
[object Doc]
Can anyone please offer assistance in how to open an embedded pdf attachment within a document?
Many thanks!

Hi George,
I have used the same method app.openDoc to open attachments using a path associated with my computer. However, as you know, the method does not work if the pdf containing the attachment is located on a different computer. The app.openDoc method throws an error becuase the path is not valid.
I am trying to get the following code to work with no success:
var cFilePath = "|" + this.path + "|U:photo.pdf"'; // photo.pdf is the attachment
app.openDoc ({cPath: cFilePath});
The debugger throws an error.
However, if I take the content of the variable cFilepath and instert it as an argument within cPath parameter as a string literal, the app.openDoc method returns the docObject.
What's going on here? shouldn't the variable cFilePath work? Or do I need to specify a data type for the variable? Any thoughts would be helpful. I am using Windows 7, Adobe Acrobat X Standard.

Interactive Forms, send e-mail and attach the PDF document

Hi all,
I've the form and I don't know if I can send an email, trough a button (Jscript or Formcalc), with in attachment my filled form in PDF format (further the XML Data)?
I don't now also if with Jscript, i can invoke the print and set automatically the print device that I want use to print.
Thanks in advance,
Antonello Didonna

Hi Michal,
Ok for the email...
now I'm looking for something to attach a file at the mail.
For printing, I've found this older code to set the printer:
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.printerName = "hp officejet d series";
this.print(pp);
This code seems that is supported on Abode 6 or later.
You know another method to set the printer?
The target is print the PDF at file.
I've seen also that there's also this method but I don't understand how I can use it!
FilePrintSilent
Prints all pages in a document, without displaying a print dialog box to the user. For PostScript printing, only Level 1 operators are used, only ASCII data is generated, and the documentu2019s pages are not shrunk to fit into the imageable area of the printed page.
FilePrintSilent is also supported in Adobe Reader.
Syntax
[FilePrintSilent(char* fullPath)]
Parameters
fullPath
The full path of the file to be printed.

Attaching a pdf document while sending email

Hi,
Can you help me to send a pdf as an attachment while sending mail.
Also plz tell me the required configuration changes that need to be done.

It is important that where is your file which you are trying to attach and how you are creating the File object out of it to pass it to the MimeMessageUtils.setContent(). As such there is no specific location to place the the file you just need to create its File object correctly. E.g. if your PDF is getting created through some other application and it is present in say C:\app\output\pdf or /usr/local/app/output/pdf then what you can do is set a Java system property (let's name the system property as file.attach.dir) through your server startup scripts with like -Dfile.attach.dir=C:\\app\\output\\pdf or -Dfile.attach.dir=/usr/local/app/output/pdf
And then in your code you can do something like:
File attachment = new File(System.getProperty("file.attach.dir") + File.separatorChar + "attachment.pdf");
MimeMessageUtils.setContent(message, content, attachment, false);
You may also place the attachment files in an ATG specific folder and access it using atg.nucleus.DynamoEnv. Say the file is within a directory called "attachments" in the ATG data directory which defaults to <ATG>\home in case of a non-standalone EAR so you can do
File attachment = new File(atg.nucleus.DynamoEnv.getDataDir().getPath() + File.separatorChar + "attachments" + File.separatorChar + "attachment.pdf");
MimeMessageUtils.setContent(message, content, attachment, false);
If you make and deploy the EAR on application server as standalone then you might already have the ATG data directory set to some location through system property -Datg.dynamo.data-dir in your server startup scripts. So if that is the case you may use this same property as mentioned above in the first approach.
You can always check the file path and whether it is getting properly resolved by using Java File APIs like file.getPath() and file.exists() where file is the File object that you created. Make sure that file.exists() returns you true and you will not encounter FileNotFound Exception.

Attach a (PDF) document to a calendar event?

I'm trying to figure out a way to attach a document (in this case a PDF) to a calendar event. It's clearly not possible in the Calendar app, and I can't seem to get it to work thru Google Calendar (it shows the attachment but won't let me open it) so I'm wondering if anyone has a workaround or a trick they can share.

Not possible. The Calendar app on the iPhone _does not_ support attachments of any type.

When I attach a PDF document in mail only the first page appears. How do I get the whole document to work

Title says it all. I go to attach file add the fild and the first page shows up in the body of the email. How do I get the whole document to show up?

You can't get the whole document to appear on your side.
When you send it, the entire document will be sent. Normally, clicking on it will open it in preview where you can see all pages. If you want to see it in this way, just cc: or bcc: yourself on the email when you send it.

Sending a PDF document as a file attachment

Hi,
I have encountered the following problem:
When attaching a pdf document to an email and sending it via Javamail, the resulting PDF document on the other end (i.e. when opened via an email client, such as Outlook) is corrupted and cannot be opened in Acrobar Reader. When doing a side by side comparison with the original file, the emailed document is 1 byte larger than the original (which can possibly cause the "corrupted file error").
Now, this is happening in my company's application and is happening to only one of our customers. This does not happen to 99.9% of them nor can we duplicate it. In addition, it does not happen to all PDF documents, only a few of them.
I have also ensured that our client has the latest version of Javamail and the activation framework jar files.
One thing I have noticed is that the documents are "encoded" as 7bit. This makes sense since the Javadocs explain that if a file is "US-ASCII only" it will be encoded as 7bit, otherwise it will be encoded as base64. Many of our PDF documents are text only.
My side question is, is there a way to force it to encode it as base64 for all pdf documents and would this help?
My main question is: Does anyone know what is happening and what I can do about it?
Anyway, here is the code fragment that does the attachment:
                      for (int i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
                         messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                         FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(attachments);
                         messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource));
                         String fileName = attachments[i].getName();
                         messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
                         multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
Where attachments is a File array.

Only one of your customers. And they can only handle base-64 encoding and not 7-bit encoding of mail messages.
We had the same thing. We send thousands of files every week using JavaMail, most of them PDFs and other files that are all text. Just one of our customers had some cruddy mail handler they had written themselves, or something like that, and it only liked base-64 encoded messages. This was fine for them because MS Outlook automatically does that for attachments regardless, and everybody was using Outlook to send them files. Except us. So we had to set up a hokey scheme where we would send their messages to a local MS Exchange address and have them auto-forwarded to the customer's address. (I couldn't find any way to control base-64 versus 7-bit encoding.)
But that customer wasn't using Outlook to read the messages, so maybe that isn't the problem. We also had a supplier (fortunately an ex-supplier now) who we used to send zip files to (from Outlook even) and their mail server would insert extra line breaks into the attachment, thus making the zip file corrupted. Maybe something like that is happening.
We had another customer who used Lotus Notes as their mail server, and it couldn't deal with our plain ordinary PDFs either. But I think Notes must have had some bug fixes because I haven't heard about that problem lately.
Good luck.

Can't Attach PDF Document to Outlook 2010 X64

I am using Adobe Reader 9.4.1 on a Windows 7 Ultimate X64 with Office 2010 Pro X64.
My Outlook 2010 is already set as the default email client (and works perfectly when attaching files to email using the "sent to email recipient" with all other software installed on my machine).
When I try to attach a PDF document to an email, within the Adobe Reader, I first get a Windows 7 generated message saying I need to set default email client (although I already did it) and after I press ok, I get an Adobe Reader error message simply saying the there was an error with attaching the document.
I read in this forum that as of August 2010 the Adobe Reader doesn't support 64 bit (Windows 7 & Office 2010) which sounds as false. I think that it can't be so...
I have to mention that I had the exact same problem with a different software (Nuance OmniPage Professional 17) and after searching Google for it I found a solution in editing the software's ini files and it solved the issue. Obviously I don't know how to find this solution by myself (I am not a PC programmer or something like that) but I have a good feeling that there should be some sort of a solution like that to the problem on hand.
Please help....
Thanks.
