Directly print PDF form in WebDynpro ABAP

Hello folks,
one little question.
Is it possible to directly print an PDF form in an WebDynpro Abap Application?
Thanks,
Alex

I don´t understand your question. You don´t provide much information.
You have 2 options:
1) write a printing program (like non-WDA form etc.) and run it in background
2) tell user to use the Reader embedded in WDA window to print his/her form

Printing PDF forms to an impact printer

Greetings,
I hope I've found the correct forum for this question.
We are having difficulty printing PDF forms to an impact printer. We are required by regulations to print to multi-part forms from our GTS landscape, which is going live soon. Since Adobe is the direction SAP is headed with forms, we have been utilizing ADS. However, the need for impact printing has presented a problem. Has anyone utilized PDF printing to an impact printer? I'll list some details in case it will help.
Printer: Lexmark Forms Printer 2590
Backend Print Solution: HP Output Server on AIX
SAP GTS: NetWeaver 7.0 SP17 w/ SLL-LEG 720 SP7
Our printer has printer languages of Epson Emulation and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). Neither of these are included in the standard device types for PDF as specified in OSS Note 685571. I do not see an appropriate XDC file to copy and modify.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a resolution?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Wesley Tollett

the PortName should be changed accordingly.
if you are using printer port , commonly lpt1, you should change it to lpt1
ur command line could work , i think
i've tried it locally in my machine, it works fine.

Hi siddharth,
My suggestion would be to create your output as a Smartform and call your Smartform in your View.

Do i need ABAP stack on EP, to run Adobe form in Webdynpro ABAP

Hi All,
We have an EP running on Java stack, and are going to configure ADS for development of Intercative forms in webdynpro ABAP, on our ABAP stack wihich is seperate R/3 system.
Do we need to have ABAP stack also on Portal, for the development and execution of Interactive forms on Portal?
Please clarify my doubt. Its very important
Thanks in advance

Hi,
installation isn't my hobby and I can't tell you about possibilities of upgrading.
For WebDynpro ABAP your abap stack must be NW 2004s. Your java stack with ADS must also be NW 2004s because communication between ADS on NW 04 and abap stack on NW 2004s doesn't work - thread "Run JAVA netweaver2004s and ADS 7.0 together with ECC 5.0 "
But here is certainly someone who can describe it more precisely.

Here , the funtion module name is coming correctly.
But when calling function CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' ,
It is giving sy-subrc = 2 , i.e. usage error (An Exception).
Similarily , due to this i am getting same exception in
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
So some one please help me , what should i do ,
am i supposed to pass some other parameter in CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
Hopefully , waiting for responds.
Thanks & Regards;
Gaurav Singh

HI Sikka,
Thanx for the reply ,
With your solution CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' is done.
but the same problem is still happening with
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name and it is giving sy-subrc = 2.
i.e. system_error = 2
Thanx !!!

How to tag a Print PDF form ?

Hi,
I need some pointers on how to tag a print PDF form. For one of the requirements, we developed a Print PDF form. The form contains Sub-forms which are made to look like a table. The relevant parameter(i.e., pdf_tagged ) is already set before starting the Job. The special case here is that the table gets the text for the header from the application data and shrinks or grows(upto a max supported column count) according to application data. For the same reason we cannot have a table, header row and body row marked in the accessibility tab in the form development transaction. Also, it is required that a header has to be visible.
So currently in the form :
1)We have just a set of sub-forms made to look like a table.
2)We do not have any table,header or body row identified in the accesibility tab.
3)Table also grows and shrinks horizontally.
4)First row of the table is made to look like a Header row(bold text) and gets the data from the application data.
5)This PDF is then displayed in a popup.
6)The PDF form is currently not tagged (not accessible).
Any pointers on how to resolve the issue would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Abhay
