Automatically prompt to save PDF when Print Preview for Purchase Order?

We recently upgraded to EP7.
I have an end user that does our PO's.
She swears up and down that she used to be able to go into any given PO, be it new or existing, and click on the print preview button. She says when she did this she was prompted to save or open the file.
She is set to PDF Preview when doing a print preview of the PO.
When we first upgraded the system, it was broken. When she tried to do this it would give you a Page Cannot Be Displayed error as in unable to find the page. We learned that there was an issue with name resolution within the system. We fixed this and now she can view the files as PDF when doing a print preview.
But she still claims it did not used to work like this that when she went to preview she would be prompted to save or view which worked great for her because she could click save, save it to her computer, and then email it to whomever she needed to send it to.
Seems clear to me that that when you do PDF Preview that an SAP browser session is created and sent to an web site (internal to SAP of course) to view the PDF. How can I tell SAP to give me the option to view or save?
For now the user is repeating the output when she needs to reprint another copy of the PO.
I should also say that we use Free PDF Creator. After setting her default printer to this, she says that now when she creates a new PO, it is working like before. So its possible that the prompt was the one from PDF Creator.
The user says she swears she could simply print preview would allow her to save local. I never saw it for myself prior to the upgrade.
Anyone seen this before or can offer any clues? Is there away to issue output at print preview?

How did you fix 'page cannot be displayed' error?
It looks like issue was at browser/pdfreader side.

thanx for your support , here i need to know one thing that i had gone to MN06 to display the cond. record , here for the output type i m using in P.O
Given below different key comb. are maintained for same p.o , but as p.o was created then in message tab the first combination of fax was displayed and for this combi when clicking on print preview the message came for " Error in open _form " .
1) P doc type / P. org./ Vendor = Medium = 2 ( fax) / Date / time = 1 , is maintained
2) P Doc. Type / P.org / Pgrp = Medium = 1 / date/ time = 1 is maintained.
3) P Doc. Type / P.org =         Medium = 1 / date/ time = 1 is maintained
4)P org.                        =         Medium = 1 / date/ time = 3 is maintained

Hi
You have customized your layout and print programs.
Suggest you to sit with your ABAP programmer and they are the best ones to go through this problem.
Your print program is looking for a function module which is missing

Print Preview of purchase order

Hi All,
when i am trying to see the print preview for a purchase order, system showing a message like
"No messages found (Please check your input)"
please suggest me in this regard ASAP.
Thanks,
Srinu

Go to MN04 trxn & create the Output messages for the Key combination you want..
also Please maintain the Communication data & Printer details in MN04 trxn...
and then open your PO in ME22N trxn & Save..
So that the output will trigger automatically for already created Po's..
for New PO's the Output will trigger automatically, once you maintain the settings in MN04 trxn..

Pricing conditions are not picked in print preview of purchase order.

Dear experts
Purchase order was created for imports vendor.
there is difference of amount in purchase order and purchase order print preview.
In purchase order print preview the system is not picking the values of custom value and custom clearing charges.
Import pricing procedure is assigned to vendor.
what else more be checked since the print preview is not picking the conditions , custom value and custom clearing charges.
Any solutions.
Thanks & Regards.
Erfan.

Hi,
Purchase order was created for imports vendor & must have separate documement type for Import Purchase order or new PO output type for import.
Check FORM or PDF/SmartForm Form used for your Import PO out put type for application EF in NACE t.code. Check SmartForm in t.code: SMARTFORMS and see condition types of custom value and custom clearing charges is there or not. Just consultant with ABAP consultant about condition types of custom value and custom clearing charges inclusion in SmartForm.

Warning info when run MIGO for purchase order

Dear everyone:
When i use the MIGO to receipt the purchase order ,i want that the system can give my one warning infomation only if the field of "posting date "(in MIGO screen) is less than the field of create date of the <b>purchase order</b>.
I want to use the user exits "EXIT_SAPLMIGO_001" ,but it looks that it does not works.
so, any advice to me anyone?

Dear Rico:
i follow your advice to get it ,but failed:(.
my code like this:( in inlude :ZXQSMU06)
*& Include ZXQSMU06 *
data: zebeln like mseg-ebeln.
data: zeindt like eket-eindt.
tables: eket.
zebeln = S7_TAB_MSEG-EBELN.
select single * from eket where ebeln = zebeln.
zEINDT = eket-eindt.
field-symbols: <fs> type mkpf.
data: field(30) type c.
field = '(SAPMM07M)mkpf'.
assign (field) to <fs>.
check sy-subrc = 0.
check not <fs>-budat is initial.
if zeindt <> <fs>-budat.
message 'info' type 'I'.
endif.
is it correct?

I am unable to see print preview for my sales orders in VA03.

Hi All,
I am unable to see print preview for my sales orders in VA03.
When ever i am selecting an order and from
menu-> sales document-> issue output to
it is raising information message on my status bar no output
has been selected for printing.
How can i view may print preview for sales order other
than from va02/vao3.
Can we view preview of a sales order if there is no output type is mapped to
form. if yes can please give me the steps.
Thanking in advance.
Best Regards,
TRS GUPTA

Hi,
Go to NACE transaction , from there choose the V1 application,now click on Output types. now see the Output types for print related.
Now use them for your preview.
you need to provide Output type to view the preview
May be you are missing some configuration(in your case Order type may be Z* so it requires Some Config ).
Regards

How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked for a while and now it doesn't. printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue. The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media. You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel. Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Hi!
Which printer do you use?
Check in the transaction spad which printer and printerdriver you use. Dobbleclick on the printerdriver and check which codepade is assigned.
I think it has to be one of the following codepages:
8600     Thai Codepage ISO988/2533
8604     Microsoft Windows 874 for Thai
8611     Thai Printer Codepage 1 (EPSON ESC/P2)
8616     Printer HPLJIIID (Thai)
8617     Thai Postscript printing
8634     Thai Printer codepage (THSAPWIN)
Pleas try this.
