Convert object to attachment

Hi
I'm using Adobe Pro 7.0 to convert a Powerpoint presentation to pdf. The powerpoint presentation has a couple of pdf-files inserted as icons (insert object - create from file - display as icon), which result in only the icon being converted til the pdf. is there a way to get Adobe pro 7 to recognize pdf's embedded in a powerpoint presentation and automaticaly create them as attachments in the new pdf?
As the ppt is being updated regulary, it will be to timecomsuming to create the attachments manualy everytime

I use the pdf toolbar in Powerpoint to convert to pdf
Doing the attachment manualy is exactly what im trying to avoid, ad it will become too timeconsuming

How can i convert object to byte array very*100 fast?

i need to transfer a object by datagram packet in embeded system.
i make a code fallowing sequence.
1) convert object to byte array ( i append object attribute to byte[] sequencailly )
2) send the byte array by datagram packet ( by JNI )
but, it's not satisfied my requirement.
it must be finished in 1ms.
but, converting is spending 2ms.
network speed is not bottleneck. ( transfer time is 0.3ms and packet size is 4096 bytes )
Using ObjectOutputStream is very slow, so i'm using this way.
is there antoher way? or how can i improve?

thanks a lot for your reply.
now, i use udp socket for communication, but, i must use hardware pci communication later.
so, i wrap the communication logic to use jni.
for convert a object to byte array,
i used ObjectInputStream before, but it was so slow.
so, i change the implementation to use byte array directly, like ByteBuffer.
ex)
public class ByteArrayHelper {
private byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int idx = 0;
public void putInt(int val){
buf[idx++] = (byte)(val & 0xff);
buf[idx++] = (byte)((val>>8) & 0xff);
buf[idx++] = (byte)((val>>16) & 0xff);
buf[idx++] = (byte)((val>>24) & 0xff);
public void putDouble(double val){ .... }
public void putFloat(float val){ ... }
public byte[] toByteArray(){ return this.buf; }
public class PacketData {
priavte int a;
private int b;
public byte[] getByteArray(){
ByteArrayHelper helper = new ByteArrayHelper();
helper.putInt(a);
helper.putInt(b);
return helper.toByteArray();
but, it's not enough.
is there another way to send a object data?
in java language, i can't access memory directly.
in c language, if i use struct, i can send struct data to copy memory by socket and it's very fast.

Business Object Services- Attachment vs store business document

Hi,
There are two ways to add attachments to a Purchase requisition.
1. as a generic attachment- (System --> services for object --> create attachment )
2. as a business document ( System --> services for object -->store business doucment)
Looks like in both the options, attachments could be stored on HTTP Content server.
What are pros and cons of storing an attachment as a business doc?
What are additional functions possible with option 2?
Thanks ,
Vinay

Hi,
Attachments are stored in binary format.
Advantage of storing in SAP is speedy access, than compared to content server.
Disadvantage some of the table space grows exponently.
Some of the tables attachments get stored are SO*
To get the link for the folder and attachments stored in SRGBTBREL
Various type of attachments are ATTA NOTE URL MSG etc.
For custom attachment options can be enabled using class CL_GOS_MANAGER

Converting object wrapper type array into equivalent primary type array

Hi All!
My question is how to convert object wrapper type array into equivalent prime type array, e.g. Integer[] -> int[] or Float[] -> float[] etc.
Is sound like a trivial task however the problem is that I do not know the type I work with. To understand what I mean, please read the following code -
//Method signature
Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception;
//and usage should be as follows:
Object arr = createArray( Integer.class, "2%%3%%4" );
//"arr" will be passed as a parameter of a method again via reflection
public void compute( Object... args ) {
    a = (int[])args[0];
//or
Object arr = createArray( Double.class, "2%%3%%4" );
public void compute( Object... args ) {
    b = (double[])args[0];
//and the method implementation -
Object createArray( Class clazz, String value ) throws Exception {
     String[] split = value.split( "%%" );
     //create array, e.g. Integer[] or Double[] etc.
     Object[] o = (Object[])Array.newInstance( clazz, split.length );
     //fill the array with parsed values, on parse error exception will be thrown
     for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
          Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
          o[i] = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[i] });
     //here convert Object[] to Object of type int[] or double[] etc...
     /* and return that object*/
     //NB!!! I want to avoid the following code:
     if( o instanceof Integer[] ) {
          int[] ar = new int[o.length];
          for (int i = 0; i < o.length; i++) {
               ar[i] = (Integer)o;
          return ar;
     } else if( o instanceof Double[] ) {
     //...repeat "else if" for all primary types... :(
     return null;
Unfortunately I was unable to find any useful method in Java API (I work with 1.5).
Did I make myself clear? :)
Thanks in advance,
Pavel Grigorenko

I think I've found the answer myself ;-)
Never thought I could use something like int.class or double.class,
so the next statement holds int[] q = (int[])Array.newInstance( int.class, 2 );
and the easy solution is the following -
Object primeArray = Array.newInstance( token.getPrimeClass(), split.length );
for (int j = 0; j < split.length; j++) {
     Method meth = clazz.getMethod( "valueOf", new Class[]{ String.class });
     Object val = meth.invoke( null, new Object[]{ split[j] });
     Array.set( primeArray, j, val );
}where "token.getPrimeClass()" return appropriate Class, i.e. int.class, float.class etc.

Converting object libraries vi command line

Forms, ifbld60.exe, allows you to create Forms, Libraies, Menus, and Object Libraries. It alsow allows you to convert each type from binary-to-text and back. I have been successful in using ifcmp60.exe to convert FORMS, LIBRARIES, and MENUS from binary-to-text and back.
How can I also convert Object Libries using ifcmp60.exe?

I should add that the documented types for ifcmp60.exe are FORM, LIBRARY, MENU and PECS. Don't understand PECS, but I get errors when tring to convert using any of these module_type(s).

E-mail body getting converted to .txt attachment

Hello All,
Below is the description of the issue: -
1) Smartform is sent as .pdf attachment in the mail along with some text in the email body, using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
2) Initially, the entire process was working fine.
3) However recently, there is a problem while sending the email. Whenever we are sending the email, the text in the email body is automatically converted into .txt attachment rather than being sent in email body.
4) There are no code changes which are done, have verified that.
5) I copy pasted the same code, in another system and the email is sent correctly with email body.
So wanted to know the following :-
1) So is the conversion of email to .txt file due to some script running on the server / is this due to some configuration.
2) If it is due to some configuration, then where is this configuration maintiained ?
3) Anything which can be done on the ABAP side to control this ?
Regards,
Rinkesh Doshi

Hello All,
I have identified the root cause of this problem.
The issue is due to the configuration maintained in transaction SODIS, which is the transaction to add disclosures to the outgoing emails.
If the standard disclosure is activated over here, the original email body is sent as text attachment and the standard disclosure is added in the email body. If we deactivate this disclosure functionality, the process works perfectly fine.
(This logic is included inside the class CL_SEND_REQUEST_BCS, method ADD_DISCLOSURE_TO_MIME).
So is this standard functionality error ? I could not find SAP notes which are relevant in above context.
Regards,
Rinkesh Doshi

What is the problem with converting objects with gradients to gradient mesh?

What is the problem with converting objects with gradients to gradient mesh?

slange,
There may arise some smaller corruption states that may be cured by what you did, as you can see in the list. Sometimes, restarting thrice is needed.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Convert list item attachment from docx to pdf using Word Automation Services

I have been trying to convert List Item attachments from docx to pdf using word automation services, it works in a normal document library but when I use the list attachment it throws a null reference error.
var settings = new ConversionJobSettings();
settings.OutputFormat = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SaveFormat.PDF;
var conversion = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services", settings);
conversion.UserToken = SPContext.Current.Site.UserToken;
var wordFile = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Url + "/" + wordForm.Url;
var pdfFile = wordFile.Replace(".docx", ".pdf");
conversion.AddFile(wordFile, pdfFile);
conversion.Start();
Using reflector I was able to see my problem lies in Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.FolderIterator.cs where it uses SPFile.Item which returns NULL
internal void CheckSingleItem(SPFile inputFile, SPFile outputFile)
Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.TraceTag(0x67337931, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Category.ObjectModel, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Level.Verbose, "OM: FolderIterator start a single item: source='{0}'; dest='{1}'", new object[] { inputFile.Url, outputFile.Url });
Stopwatch stopwatch = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.StartPerfStopwatch();
try
this.CheckInputFile(inputFile.Item);
this.CheckOutputFile(outputFile.Url);
Is there any way to get around this?

Hi Qfroth,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you use word automation service to convert Word to PDF for list item attachment, it throws the null reference error.
I suggest you can create an event receiver and convert the word to memory stream like below:
private byte[] ConvertWordToPDF(SPFile spFile, SPUserToken usrToken)
byte[] result = null;
try
using (Stream read = spFile.OpenBinaryStream())
using (MemoryStream write = new MemoryStream())
// Initialise Word Automation Service
SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(WORD_AUTOMATION_SERVICE);
sc.UserToken = usrToken;
sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
// Convert to PDF
ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(read, write);
if (info.Succeeded)
result = write.ToArray();
catch (Exception ex)
// Do your error management here.
return result;
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

How to create a view object and attach with extended AM

Hi,
I tried to create new vo and attach this vo with the extended AM. But it is throwing error like 'PC.NAME : invalid identifier' (Actually this PC.NAME is exiting one).
Now i want to know how to create a view object similar like seeded one but with one additional condition in the where clause.
It is possible though extension, but i want to create two view object similar like seeded one, one with some other condition in the where clause
and another one with some other condition.
So for my requirement, i'll extend one VO and i'll add my condition but how to do it for second condition.
But i want same seeded VO with two different condition.
Any suggestions please,
SAN

SAN,
There is no need to attach the newly created VO with extended AM. You need to attach the same with the standard AM.

Gyan

Convert Object to Float

Hello,
I'm trying to convert an Object to a Float and can't seem to get it to work properly. I'm using a HashMap to store object key-value pairs. The values inserted into the HashMap were originally of type float. I can extract the value found in the map, but I cannot then convert that to a float to be assigned to another variable. For example:
Object holdValue;
holdValue = someHashMap.get(someKey); // so far so good
float aFloatNumber = holdValue; // can't do this because
// holdValue stores an object
How do I convert "holdValue" from an Object to a float so that it can be assigned to "aFloatNumber"?
Thank you.

Well the keys could not have been of type float because float is a primative and HashMap will only take Objects as it's keys and data. So you have an incorrect notion of what is in your HashMap. If the key was a Float (the wrapper class of float) you can just cast it and you would be fine but there is no way to assign an Object to a float, you could convert threw some method (like fields 1 plus field 2 or something) but you can't just convert.

Copying Documents Object Links attached to BOM Headers & Items in Prod Ord

Dear Gurus,
I've created a BOM for an assembly. This BOM has document assignments at 3 places -
1. BOM Header level (in BOM Header overview - Document Assignment tab)
2. BOM Item level (in BOM Item: All Data - Document Assignment tab)
3. Document assigned as a BOM Item with Item Category D (in BOM General ITem overview - Document tab)
When I create the Production Order for this assembly, only the document that is assigned as a BOM Item with Item Category D (point#3 above) is copied into the order.
I'm not able to view the document links for the documents as described in points 1 and 2 above.
The necessary configurations in Production Scheduling Profile have been done for integration with DMS.
I need to know if there is a way (probably through some user exit, BADI or by implementing some SAP Note), the object links for documents attached to BOM Header and BOM Items can also be transferred to a Production Order.
Please help me out in resolving this issue as it is a very critical requirement of the client.
With Regards,
Nitin

Hi Niraj,
If you follow following path in the Production Order Header. click on the Document Overview (SHIFT+F7) Button
You could be able to see the Links for Material Master attached Documents. there is a Button for BOM origin documents. I tried but it didnt worked. I hope it works for you. If it works for you. Please let me know.
Regards,
Ravi S Bijjala
