Convert SEM-BPS Web Templates to PDF

Hi everyone, one of my clients is requesting to convert all his SEM-BPS 3.5 Web Templates to PDF files dynamically.
I've already make a research on SDN an found several post about converting ABAP objects to PDF format (like <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp).
The thing is that I'm not an ABAP guy, my expertise is on JAVA.
I've just want to know if any of you have already found a successful alternative method to convert these web templates on PDF files using any Java techniques available.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Wulfrano,
we do not have this functionality. However, you can easily get a PDF for any HTML page. Check out for example CutePDF: http://www.cutepdf.com/

How do I convert a Expression Web template into Dreamweaver CC?

Just got the Adobe CC subscription they said I could convert an Expression Web site template to Dreamweaver? It has a file master.dwt that has the common header, footer and menu

Thanks, Dick - that helps. Save this code into the Templates folder at the root of the site. Name the saved file with a *.dwt extension. Let me know when you've done that and I'll tell you what to do next.

Export Web Templates to PDF

Hi,
We would like our web templates exported into PDF format. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have instructions? Thanks!

There is a white paper on the BW Info Index about this.
It basically involves using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, which allows you to create a pdf from a URL. I've had varying degrees of success with this. You don't get much control over formatting. Process is also difficult to automatate.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike

Authorizations in SEM-BPS (Web Layouts)

Hi all,
I have a question that hopefully somebody can help me in solving it.
We have a bps application, with authorizations maintained in the sap normal way: pfcg, rssm, etc.
The question is that we started to build some web (alv) layouts, and need to maintain the same authorization schema.However, the authorizations are not verified in the web layouts.
Can somebody provide some hint in solving this problem ?
Best Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Raman,
Sorry but your tip doesn't work
That's precisely our problem: the authorization scheme we implemented in the "SAP GUI side" doesn't work in the web side". Using web layouts, I still can acess some layouts I shouldn't be allowed to (user dependent)
Thank you anyway
Regards,
Ricardo

Broadcasting Web template as PDF

Dear Gurus,
We are using WAD 3.x now and broadcasting the WAD template daily to the users as Email in HTML format.
This template consistes of multiple BEx reports.
Now the users wanted to view these reports in PDF format instead of HTML.
Is this possible in 3.x version...
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi,
You do not have an option of broadcasting as PDF using a 3.X template. Please refer to the following links:
BEx Broadcaster
Enable PDF option in broadcasting
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

How to reference variable values in a BW Web Template

Hi All,
I'm having a problem which I hope someone can help me with.
OVERVIEW
I've developed a BW Web template with (among other things) a TEXTELEMENTS Web Item and a TABLE Web Item. I've enhanced the context menu so that when a user selects a row within the TABLE, they can start a SEM-BPS Web interface (which displays a manual planning layout). I've used the 'How to call a BPS Web Interface with Predefined Selections' document to get the basic mechanism working. The JavaScript function I've written successfully passes the variable (DFCOST_PL) value to the planning layout.
THE PROBLEM
The problem is twofold....
1. I need to pass the value for a variable (FEPCVERS) to the layout. However I do not know how to make reference to the variable in JavaScript. The variable is available within the TEXTELEMENTS_1 object but how do I address it?
2. On a similar vein, I need to pass the value for a field within the table row to the planning layout. The TABLE_2 object contains the fields (DFCOST_PL and DFGROUPS). When the user selects a line the value for DFCOST_PL is available to the JavaScript function (ZAJT_JS_Maintain_Rules) in the 'parameter1' field. However, how do I make the DFGROUPS field available?
Below is the HTML code for my Web Template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Hi Heike,
Thanks for your response. The example you gave me works nicely. I've tried to use the same concept on a FILTER object, but it does not seem to work. I declared the object as below:
</span>
<span style="display:none;visibility:hidden" id="0PROFIT_CTR_value">
<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW">
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM">
         <param name="NAME" value="FILTER_1">
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER">
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1">
         <param name="HIDDEN" value="X">
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="">
         <param name="PRESENTATION" value="KEY">
         <param name="ITEM_FILTER_IOBJNM_1" value="0PROFIT_CTR">
         <param name="PRESENTATION_1" value="KEY">
         <param name="ONLY_VALUES" value="X">
         ITEM:            FILTER_1
</object>
</span>
and then use
document.getElementById('0PROFIT_CTR_value').innerHTML.
However, the value returned is blank. Is there a different method required for filters?
Also, you mentioned that to access the second variable I will need to use the table interface. Is this difficult to do? I'm booked on the NET050 (Developing Web Applications) course, but it's not until late November. Do you think that this course would cover this kind of processing?

BW SEM-BPS API functions from a Web Dynpro project in Netweaver

Hi,
Rather than using the standard Web Interface Builder in BW SEM-BPS (3.1B), we have to use SAP Netweaver to create a Web Dynpro project which accesses all the API_SEMBPS functions, such as GETDATA, SETDATA, FUNCTION_EXECUTE etc. Has anyone done this before? If so, do you have any examples, hints?
Regards,
Linda Lee

Hello Linda,
let me add some more remarks on this topic from the BW-BPS development perspective:
I completely agree with Marc's statement.
Thechnically it is possible to build a planning application UI on top of the BW-BPS API functions and we have some customers that are live with such a solution. However, I would recommend this only in 2 cases
1. You need to create a tightly integrated application with BPS being only one part of several other components (including transactional UI, e.g. running against a CRM system).
2. You prefer a UI technology that is not provided by SAP (e.g. Java Swing based).
In all other cases, I would say that one should stick to the Web Interface created with Web interface Builder, mainly for cost reasons. If this tool does not fulfill all your needs there are several possibilities to enhance and extend the generated web interfaces by custom specific coding (see also several How-To guides in this area; e.g. "How to integrate a BEx Web Template into a BPS Web interface").
Another possibility is to loosly couple several web UIs with the help of the portal.
To my knowledge, it is not true that BSP web technology will be obsolete shortly.
In general, I would always prefer a tool supported, model driven approach compared to a heavy custom coding. This is also in sync with SAPs general strategy to a more pattern based approach to create UIs.

Convert Web Report to PDF

Hi all,
I need a possibility to <b>convert Web Reports</b> designed in WAD <b>into PDF</b>. SAP help portal says: 'You access BEx Web applications and reports in the portal. You can then convert these into PDF files and print them.' (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/d8c041a227ca17e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
But I haven't found any documentation how to do this...could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You will need to add a URL or button group to your template and use the command wizard to create the command ("Export Web Template"). You should be able to find more information in the SAP Help documentation for SAP NetWeaver 2004s, which I know you already have a link to.
If you are on a ramp-up project, you should have access also to the Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer (RKT) in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/rkt-netweaver. This site contains materials that explain the new features, including the new web items and the command wizard. If you don't have access, check with your SAP consultant for assistance.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.3 will not convert web page to Pdf

While using Acrobat 9.1.3 Pro, I cannot convert web pages to PDF format.
the output is garbled and text is cyrillic or backwards.
Using Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13

You do not have all the fonts embedded, but the basic document looks fine. There is an issue withe the printer setup in your browser that is leading to part of the page running off the paper - but that is a browser issue and not Acrobat. In some cases, a simple fix is to print as landscape.

Adobe Acrobat 9 supposedly allows you to convert selected areas of a web page to PDF from within Int

Software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Issue: Using the ‘Adobe PDF toolbar’ from within Internet Explorer
Problem #1:
Can’t convert selected areas of a web page to PDF
When you click ‘select’ on the adobe pdf toolbar, a red dotted line is supposed to appear around parts of the web page as you move the cursor
In my case, that’s not happening
Similarly, when you click on a part of the page, the part is supposed to be highlighted in blue
In my case, that’s not happening
Problem #2:
Can’t convert part of a web page to PDF
You’re supposed to use the cursor to select text and images on a page, then right-click and convert them to a PDF
In my case, nothing happens when I right-click
Any advice??

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

Error converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 IE 9 on Vista

I am getting the following errow when I try converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 on IE 9 on Vista.

Firefox 13, and Acrobat X pro; I want the "convert web page to pdf" buttons I use in IE.

I'm running Firefox 13.0, and I have Acrobat X pro, all running in Win 7 64 bit.
How can I add to Firefox (AND to Chrome), the buttons I use in Internet Explorer that enable me to "convert web page to pdf", etc.?
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat X pro?
I tried that once, and it did not add the Acrobat toolbar to this (latest) version of Firefox.
Is it possible to add the Acrobat toolbar buttons "convert web page to pdf", etc. to Chrome? If so, how can I do it?
Thanks,
Marc

The supported browsers are found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html. So, have you updated Acrobat or are you still sitting with AA10.0? Generally you do not need to reinstall Acrobat in such cases, but the updates and possibly repairs may be needed (not a reinstall).
