Attaching files to Documents

1) How can we attach any files (word, pdf, email messages etc) to sales orders, credit memo requests etc?
2) Is there any restriction in attaching these files to sales orders? Is there any impact on system perfomance if we attach documents?
Could you describe both with DMS and without DMS.
Regrads,

Hi
I need to add attachments (pdfs) to sales order.
I understand that the following is required for viewing this option - services for objects:
Reference-SAP Note: Note 598073 - Message "No service available"
1. In Release 4.70, the object services for Transactions VA02/VA03 were deactivated in the SAP Standard System (for performance reasons). However, the object services can be reactivated individually by setting user/profile parameter SD_SWU_ACTIVE = X.
2. The object services are only available for dialog users, that is, if you choose user type 'Dialog' for the corresponding user on the 'Logon data' screen in Transaction SU01.
My system is 4.6C and I am not able to add this parameter - "Parameter ID SD_SWU_ACTIVE does not exist".
My user type is 'dialog'.
Can you tell me if there is something else that I need to activate?
Regards
Manoj

Error when attaching file in document tab page (content management)

Hello
When I'm importing file in document tab page (in activity, BP, etc) I get error "operation not allowed", and nothing more :/
Why it can happen? I have never had any problems with documents, since now. Do you think this is because of I'm connecting with SAP throw VPN, and there are some settings, which blocks file sending to SAP server?
Thanks in advance
Lukasz

the point is - my file was empty :/

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

How to fast attach files from document library to e-mail?

Hi
I have SP2013 , and i love it to drag and drop the documents into Document library,
it is posible that i can drag and drop the files from SharePoint document library to new E-Mail or Internet Explorer?
tanxs for answer.

Harmon.IE provide an outlook plug-in that provides drag-drop functionality for SharePoint within outlook and could be worth taking a look at.
I believe it's license free up to 100 seats, but you'll need to verify that.

If I attach a scanned document to a mail, it's impossible for the persons receiving my mail to open the file

I'm a MacBook Pro user and scanning documents with an hp Officejet 7500A.
If I send a mail with an attached file, SCANNED document, the person receiving my mail will be totaly unable to open it.
If I send the very same mail, always with my Mac computer and attaching the very same scanned document but using my professional mailbox wich is NO MAC MAIL, things are working perfectly well.mail.
Thanks for your help,
Ph.

Try right clicking the file on your desktop, and compressing it, then send it to the intended recepient. Of course you will want to advise them to extract the document from the *.zip file afterwards. A ZIP file is sort of like a briefcase for other data, you put it inside and send that fully intact for the other person to open. Good luck, let me know if it fails.

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

I am unable to attach a PDF file from Documents

I am unable to access and attach a PDF file from Documents

I assume you are trying to attach a PDF to an email. I can perform this task several ways.
With a Finder window open and the PDF showing in that window, drag the PDF to the Mail app icon on the dock. This creates a new email and attaches the PDF to it. (PDFs tend to attach in inline view mode, that is you can see the entire document. To see it as a file icon right click on the PDF text and select View as Icon.)
I can drag the PDF directly into an open new email message if both the email message and the PDF file can be seen.
There's an icon on the Mail toolbar that looks like a paper clip. Click on it to get a file selector and drill down until you see the PDF. Select it and click OK.
Select Attachments from the Edit menu and choose Attach file to end of message

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

Read the content of a file attached to a document

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the content of the file attached to the document and send in the body of the email. The original get stored in the KPRO server. Can anyone suggest how can i read the content of the file stored in the KPRO server. HTTp is used to save the file in KPRO server.
thanks
Papiya

Dear Papiya,
if I got your problem correctly you are looking for some report to get the originals files from the content server and then send it via e-mail?
In this case the report DMS_KPRO_READ may be useful for you. You can start this report in transaction SE38. You just need to enter the document data and then all attached originals will be listed with the corresponding PHIO- and LOIO-ID. Further there is also a small grenn download button to get this file on your PC.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for useful information.

Attaching a scanned document to a pdf file

how do I attach a scanned document into a pdf file that needs to be faxed

The ExportPDF service doesn't do anything like that. Do you have Adobe Acrobat?

Getting message about not enough storage on my iphone 5s. The "Attachment file is very large and I have erased all documents in it, yet it still shows a large volume of storage being used.

I am getting a message that I am running out of storage on my Iphone 5s. The problem may be in my mailboxes. I have eliminated many emails and all documents in the "Attachments file. However, the attachment file still shows an number that is over 4 billion (not sure is this is the number of documents or what it represents) Is this is the source of my storage problem, I'm not sure how to solve it.

Couple of things to try:
If you can access the account on a computer - make sure that the offending email is no longer there
Then delete the email account on the phone - no email loss is incurred
Then reset the phone - hold down home and sleep buttons together until you see Apple logo and then release and allow normal boot up - no data loss
Then reinstall the email account

How do you attach a scan to the end of an e mail? when I try it always sends the opened scan document as the e mail rather than as an attached file!

I have a query. When I try to send a scanned document as an attachment in mail the scanned document gets e mailed as an open document rather than as an attachment to the e mail. Any suggestions?

Some possible strategies for dealing with this include:
* zip the file (control-click the file, and select "compress") and send the zipped file.
The recipients email program should display this file as an attached file. But the recipient will have to unzip it at their end.
* I've never tried it, but people say this can help: Attachment Tamer

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.

How to attach a picture to gmail.I can do a PDF file or document.

I open Gmail compose & reduce it to ~ 1/2 of monitor screen .Then i open my pictures folder, select the picture to be sent as an attachment & reduce this screen to ~ 1/2 of monitor screen & then i drag the picture to the Email i am composing.The picture goes over but it remains a full picture that occupies the entire area for the message.When i do this with a PDF file it transfers as an attachment. Further, when i send the Email with the picture it cannot be manipulated by receiver. I am using Windows 8.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to use the paper clip button (attach file button) to ensure that Gmail attaches images instead of placing them inline in the message body.
