Broadcasting PDF format settings

Hi all,
I have to send query views in PDF format by broadcasting, but the report is bigger than one page. When the user opens it in PDF cannot modify the margins, and can not modify any printer settings, the report will be very-very small in the middle of the page. Does anyone know, who can i modify the PDF settings before send the broadcasting out?
thanks in advance
Adrienn

Hi,
You can make settings in the Broadcaster Wizard.

Error when Broadcasting PDF format to email

Hi,
The template is getting executed properly through WAD. Even, in portal the report is being generated correctly. The problem is when I try to broadcast PDF format to Email.
I am receiving the following error when attempting to broadcast a query as PDF - Error: com.sap.ip.bi.base.exception.BIBaseRuntimeException.
Please suggest me the solution.

Hi Lavanya
I strongly recommend you to be on latest Java patches for your SPS from the service market place.
Also please check whether the note 1052659 - Requirements for customer messages concerning export to PDF is helpful to you.
Especially check this portion of the note is relevant to you.
" The following entry is in the trace:

How to broadcast reports in pdf format

Hello Experts,
I am running reports on the web and I need to broadcast report via email in the pdf format. I do not see the option of pdf at all in the braodcasting tabl. Here's what I am doing. I right click on the report and click Broadcast -and Export > Broadcast E-mail -> Information Broadcasting tab -> Settings query -> choose the query i want to broadcast -> select the option broadcast e-mail and when I select the output format , it only shows me MHTML, HTML and Online Link to Current Data. But it does not show me the pdf option. We do have the free pdf connected to the sap server. Please let me know what I should do to get it in the pdf format.
Thanks
Sruthi

Hello,
There are two possible reasons for this issue:
1st:
You are using the old BExBroadcaster.
ONLY BExBroadcaster 7.0 is able to broadcast on PDF format.
2nd:
If you are already using BExBroadcaster 7.0, the PDF output format is suppressed.
You can manage this on the following table:
> RSRD_OUTFORM
Check this table and remove the FLAG 'x' on SUPRESS column of PDF OUTFORM.

Workbook broadcast ouput should be in PDF format

Hi,
Workbook broadcast output should be in PDF format ,I could not find any option in broadcast setting in BI 7.0.the users requested that they want the report in PDF format.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
thanks
Pallavi

Hi,
I am not sure whether this is possible? Can you check in RSRD_OUTFORM_OT table whether PDF option is available for workbook(WB)? Anyway if there is only one sheet in workbook you can broadcast the query itself.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

Payment advices in F110 to be sent by email (PDF format) - step by step

Hi SDN,
We have a requirement to automatically send payment advices in F110 via email. The requirement is to send the file in PDF format. I've done a lot of browsing through in the forums, as well as check SAP notes, but none has really detailed a step by step process on how to go about it.
I've also checked SAP NOTE 836169, but it is also not that detailed.
Assuming that SCOT has been already set up by BASIS, I've done the following steps to test if the auto-email works, and here are the steps I did.
1. Vendor Master Data -Define u2018Std communication methodu2019 as SMTP (Internet mail) and maintain an email address in the vendor master data.
3. T-Code BERP u2013 Code to find the relevant BTE. Use the Selection Attribute to browse for your business area. In my case, it is AP-Payment Transactions hence FI-AP-AP-PT.
00002040 is the relevant process. This is a Function called SAMPLE_PROCESS_00002040. In this case, the FM only checks for an email address in the Vendor Master. If more logic is required a Z-version would need to be created.
4. Use t-code FIBF to create the enhancement.
a) Create a product.
A product groups together customer enhancements to BTEu2019s developed in the customer's namespace. All customer enhancements assigned to a certain customer product can be released with the Activate Customer Product indicator. The OPEN_FI function module for a certain customer enhancement cannot find the corresponding customer function modules, until this has been done.
Create the product name (for example ZMAIL) and make it active.
FIBF->Settings->Products->u2026of a Customer
b) Assign the BTE to the FM:
Settings->Process Modules->u2026of a customer
Assign the 00002040 process to the FM and Product.
5. Run the autopayment program F110.
After I run the following steps, no email is being generated by the system. Is there anything that I still need to do? Or could anybody please kindly provide a step-by-step process? I'm a functional person, so I won't be able to do ABAP programming for this. Thanks and regards to all

Hello,
Check SCOT and SOST transactions.
At a previous client using 4.6C we did a program and allocated it in F110. The program reviewed the payment tables and sent the payment advice (basic list) to the employee vendors.

Hello Andrea.
I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering. There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
=============================================
Symptom
Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
Environment
Windows 2003
Apache Tomcat 5.0
Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
Reproducing the Issue
Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
Cause
When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
Resolution
Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
=============================================
Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
I hope that this helps.
Regards.

Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.
T.J.

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!
T.J.
