Directly print to PDF

Hi,
I know that I can print to PDF choosing local printer and using for ex. PDF creator etc.
Is that possible to print from SAP directly to PDF? If yes, please explain this solution for me. How configure it?
I wil be grateful for information.
Regards
Michal

Hi,
Yes you can by using the report - RSTXPDFT4.Just create a spool request for any printer, even if it is dummy. Now do the following.
1. SE38 -> RSTXPDFT4 -> execute
2. In the first screen give the spool request #, you will get the spool request # in SP01. And then enter the filename of the pdf you want it to be downloaded as.
3. Save it to your dektop and view it as a pdf.
Hope this helps.

Problem with Direct printing of PDF with Barcodes in R12

Hi All,
We are facing a problem in direct printing in EBS R12 with xml pdf reports which contains some barcode fonts. We are using fonts from IDAutomation for barcodes. Printing from request output is working fine. But when it is printed directly everything get printed other than the barcodes. Did anybody face this problem before and fixed it?
Regards,
Benny

Benny,
Output from XML Publisher comes out correctly. The barcodes are stripped off during pdftops conversion. Any idea?
How did you verify the above?

Direct print a pdf document when download from a website

Hi, all
Is that possible to print automatically when a pdf is download from a website with a acrobat plugin?

Don't think it is possible. If so, it would be with JavaScript. Be prepared to get complaints -- I sure would.

Direct Printing PDF via Acrobat 8.0 under Lion

Direct printing a PDF via Acrobat 8.0 worked under Snow Leopard but no longer under Lion. I have a relatively old installation of CS3 on my MacBookPro and wanted to print a pages document with 12 x 12 cm size onto an A4 page (with integrated cutting marks) - this is not possible with the integrated PDF printer in Lion an so i decided to use Acrobat 8.0.

Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem. Of course i posted this error on the Adobe Help forums but since these guys only want to sell the newest Suites if have no hope, that somebody will respond to my question - and i think it is a Lion issue (CUPS problem).
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921666

This is right, but since the upgrade to Lion was a relatively big one (with many functionalities that i have be missing before) i think i will not go back just to regain a normal-working direct PDF printing. Nevertheless i think, if the very old CS3 worked until Snow Leopard it would be very easy for an Apple Engineer to figure out, which trick would allow Acrobat to direct print again - i don't think the underlying CUPS has changed very much - also i found a lot of similar error reports on the web (mostly Acrobat related after updates from System ) which were solved via correcting some rights in the library (this didn't do the trick for me ...)
Best problem solving would be, that Adobe Software gets cheaper - i have installed the newest Aperture, iWork, Office, iLife, Mindmanager, ... - if you are not a student but a hobby worker these software packages are quite affordable ...

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

Adobe reader crashes when I print a pdf

When I try and print a PDF document, Adobe Reader crashes. The rainbow pinwheel of death comes up. The Force Quit dialogue box says that Adobe reader is not responsive. What do I do?

Thanks. Lots of us on Macs never install Adobe stuff. With Preview you can do a lot of things (like instant alpha, and dragging pages from one pdf to another). Are you also aware that in the Print menu there is a direct Print to PDF option?
Have fun.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Print a pdf directly to a printer to avoid repeated ripping of the same image

Hi,
I have created a 3.000 pages document from inDesign heaving its page the same color image as background and variable data. The document exported as pdf. Because of this method the file has very little size (about 3MB). The acrobat print engine take the image once and the resulted pdf does not using a copy in every page but share it (very cool).
The problem that I have is that when I print this pdf using the windows postscript drivers of my industrial printer (Xerox) then it takes very long time to ripp. I think that even if the pdf has only once the image the windows drivers does not understand this and send the image with every page.
I discussed this with someone and told me to print the pdf directly to the printer without the interference of printer's driver. As an example he mentioned that when we have a postscript file we do the same to print it (otherwise the postscript code will be printed) using a command line like lpr and put as an argument the IP of the printer (or using some tools for this like the free PrintFile but tghis is only for postscript files).
Could someone explain to me what he meant? And how is the syntax of the lpr?
Thanks in advance

Do you mean that the information for the label is huge on a letter or A4 page and you want to shrink it to the size of the label, or do you have a small region that you want to print to the label? Your work flow is not coming through at all and it is hard to help as a result.
If you have a label size print on a large page, then crop the page to the label print. Then go to the print menu, select the label paper, set shrink to fit, and print. At least I think that is what you are looking for.

How to directly print PDF file(which is stored in SAP) in ABAP report?

Hi experts,
I searched SDN for printing PDF file but everything is about OTF to PDF and to use fm: CONVERT_OTF which is not the solution for my problem.
I have to build ABAP report which will take the PDF file attached to SAP document (CV02N) and print it.So, which function module or program can I use to print the PDF file?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Danijela

Printing a PDF created in Indesign results in blurry text.

Hello All,
I am in need of assistance.
I have created a flyer for one of my companies products in In-design.
When I print the project directly form In-design the print looks great and the text is nice and crisp.
However, when I export the project to a "Press Quality" PDF, and print it the text comes our blurry and "dirty"
I have been trying to fix this for 2 days now with no luck.
I have tried multiple different setting during the export to PDF form In-design, all resulting in the same issue.
What is strange is when I print the PDF in black and white the text look just as good as if it were printed directly from In-design in colour.
I looked around online and found allot of posts regarding this issue but no definitive results.
I have also checked the colour of the text and it is 100%K.

What color is the text?
Can you show some screen shots?

Programs stop responding when I try to print to PDF

Info on what I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
Using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version 8.1.0, up to date on updates
In this example, Microsoft Office 2007, no add-ons besides the Adobe Acrobat add-in that allows the creation of a PDF (but happens in all programs)
Problem:
I have always created a PDF from a Word/Excel document by printing to PDF (File --> Print --> Select Adobe PDF as printer --> Hit OK). Generally, the next step that occurs is a dialog box appearing that prompts me to select the location where I want to save the PDF and to specify a file name. Several weeks ago, this process stopped working. Now when I hit "Ok" to print to PDF, no dialog box appears and whatever program I'm in freezes/stops responding. Aside: I have tried printing to PDF from several other programs to see if the problem occurs in those as well, and it does -- printing to PDF freezes whatever program I am attempting to print from. (For example, MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Firefox, even Notepad)
Bullet point summary of what I have tried:
Canceling the print jobs in the Adobe PDF printer under "Devices and Printers" (jobs say they are canceling but never clear from the print queue unless I go into Services and restart my print spooler) and reprinting (freezes again)
Restarting computer (had no effect)
Setting Adobe PDF as my default printer (had no effect)
Setting TrueType font as "Native TrueType" under the Adobe PDF printer properties (Layout --> Advanced --> PostScript Options) (suggested in another thread I read about this problem; had no effect)
Checking to make sure that Word had not "adjusted" the security settings for the Adobe add-in (disabling it) under the Trust Center (Adobe add-in was still enabled, so nothing to change there)
Changing the printer properties to print directly to the printer rather than spooling first (had no effect)
Saving as PDF using File --> Save As --> Selecting PDF as file type (does work and is an acceptable substitute except when I need to convert multiple files to PDF at once and don't have time to go in to each individual file and convert it separately)
Repairing the Acrobat installation from within Adobe or from the Programs and Features menu under the Control Panel (does work, did fix the problem; but see followup below).
Repairing the Acrobat installation worked when I did it a few weeks ago. Once I went through the process, I attempted to print a document to PDF and it worked. But this morning when I attempted to print another document to PDF, it froze Word again and has been doing that ever since, so it does not seem to be a permanent fix. I had succesfully printed several documents to PDF this morning before it stopped working; the document I printed to PDF immediately before the document that froze was the exact same as the document froze in every way except the actual text (formatting, document objects, etc.). So I don't think it was something in the content of the document that "broke" the Adobe PDF printer.
I am sure I can try repairing the Adobe installation again, but I really do not want to have to do that all of the time. Does anyone know what the problem is? I haven't found anything that explains what's going on.

Anyone?

Direct Print a webi report, from InfoView

Hi,
I want to direct print a webi report after I open it with InfoView, but i don't know if it's possible.
Right now, when I open a webi report in InfoView I have a button saying "Print to PDF", which will open that report as a PDF document.
But I want to print directly to a printer and not to open the report in a pdf viewer.
Is there a way to have a direct print button in InfoView for webi documents ?
Thank you.
Eugen

Hi Eugen,
At this point it is not possible.
Here is SAP Notes which clearly state that SAP BOJ is aware of it and got several enhancement request and these requests are reviewed every six months. Since these requests require major changes in the software, SAP BOBJ has not given any time frame of availability of this feature.
Here is SAP NOTE: 1345933

Printing: computer freezing when I try and print a PDF

I used to be able to print a PDF but suddenly the whole printer freezes as soon as the printer comes up.

Hi twcco,
Let's see what we can figure out. We'll need to get some basic information from you to figure out where there problem lies:
Are you having trouble with a specific PDF file, or with any PDF that you try to print?
Are you on Mac OS or Windows (and what version)?
Are you printing from Reader or Acrobat (again, what version)?
Are you printing directly to the printer, or over WiFi/network?
Are you able to print from other applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you. We'll see what we can do to get to the bottom of this printing issue.
Best,
Sara
