Display form & simultaneously PRINT in background

We have a custom application, where a program is used to generate an adobe print form designed for some legal purposes. When we execute the program, the form gets displayed, after which the user prints it. Can this print function be made automatic without any user intervention? That is, when the program is executed, the legal form is displayed on screen, and also the form gets printed in background?
We have done quite a few reports, spool_2_pdf and then e-mailing the PDF. But I believe the requirement above is different.
I have searched and read the different posts, and did not find anything to my requirement described above, so please excuse me and help me out if I have missed reading something.
Thank you,

Hello
Frontend printing from a batch process cannot work, as there is no GUI connection.
Kindly refer to SAP note -

Help reqd to display the form without print preview call

Hi all,
I did one gate pass form and i want to view the form in my selection screen or output screen(just in monitor) as a display by giving one Z-code.
i.e, we can view the form thru Print preview...the same preview, i want to display after i give my parameter in the selection screen.
For example.ZGPOUT if i enter as a t-code.
it should ask my Gate Pass number in the Selection screen...if its right then my Form will come out to the display screen. (instead of going by Print method).,
Pls post ur comment and reply me with examples of code,if possible.

Hi Sankar,
Its bit ambigious......but logic is very simple...........
1. Create a Z.....report
2. Inside this create your selection parameters
3. Do your logic for the selection screen(use list box option or F4 help) to ask for the gate pass number.
4. Call the required form. (For print preveiw assign 'X' to tdpreview of ITCPO)
5. Finally assign your print program to the tcode which will finally do rest of the coding.
Thanks,
Mark

Standard text displayed correctly in print preview but not in print

Hi,
I have a script in which a standard text has to be printed in the output.
The standard text contains some german characters.
These characters are displayed correctly in print preview but not in print.
The text is maintained in 3 languages DE,EN and Russian.
The same text is being printed in some standard report. But that is displayed correctly both in print and print preview.
Please suggest something.
Regards,
Richa Aggarwal

Hi Richa,
Check this document from SAP: [help doc|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0652a95-5f0b-2a10-5aba-c085f8bbe6d6?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
It indicates that you have to be sure to select "Unicode" fonts for your SAPScript form to ensure the proper printing of "Unicode" characters. If a character does not display then that means it does not exist in the font that you are using.

Ryan Crosby

Is it possible for a user to edit the output of a form before printing?

This might sound odd but the business have requested the ability to edit the text of a Smartform before printing. i.e. a standard form can be printed 'as is' for most employees but certain exceptions may require the wording to be slightly amended.
I don't think this is possible but I want to know for sure.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
Sanjay was right.
That is the best you can do as of now.
Have a screen when the user has a chance of modifying the texts that are currently being displayed on the print. Let him save the texts and then trigger the smrtform, which would pick the updated texts instead of the old ones.
the function modules READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT may come in handy here.
regards,
Ravi

ESS Portal Trip/Expense form only prints the first page

Good morning;
Our users reported that when they display a trip/expense via Portal and then right mouse click in order to print the trip, only the first page prints out. If they go to the SAP Gui and run the TRIP transaction and display the trip in Print Preview form and print it, they get all the pages of the trip/expense printed.
Has anyone ever run into this strange issue before?
Thanks.
Scott.

Thanks for the quick response.
I'm assuming that you are refering to the IMG Path:
Cross-Application Components->Homepage Framework->Resources
->Define Resources
Select activity Define Resources (Change Entries)
When I check this in the IMG, we do not have a resource called EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05.
Currently we are on ECC 5.0 and note 525862 references Rel 4.6c so I know that those corrections are part of our system. The 812903 note refers to ECC 6.0 only so this note I believe would not help us.
Should I add the resource EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05 to the Configuration?
I see that note 1140369 references something about the EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_TRIPFORM_SRV05 resource and has something to do with hight of the Trip form.

Display form at UWL error " Insufficient information for generating output"

Hi experts,
I got error while use "display form" button in UWL.
the error is " Insufficient information for generating output (missing printer, for ex.) "
■The ABAP call stack was:
Form: USEREXIT_TOP_2 of program RPRTEF00
Form: TOP_OF_PAGE of program RPRTEF00
TOP-OF-PAGE of program RPRTEF00

Form: %_GET_PERNR of program RPRTEF00
Form: FILL_INFOTYPE_TABLES_AND_PUT of program SAPDBPNP
how to solve this?
thanks

Can you elaborate on what exactly configured and how and why? I fail to understand what exactly you did because in my company, we used the standard (up until now);that means UWL configuration file "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra".
And for the request-Form handling it has this action:
<Action name="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.action.DisplayRequestForm" groupAction="" handler="SAPAppLauncher" referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra.DisplayForm" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="toolbar=no,menubar=no">
      <Properties>
        <Property name="sap.xss.tra.TripNo" value="${item.TripNumber}"/>
        <Property name="display_order_priority" value="10"/>
        <Property name="SAPIntegrator" value="ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.tripform"/>
        <Property name="sap.xss.tra.TripComponent" value="R"/>
        <Property name="sap.xss.tra.PersNo" value="${item.EmployeeNumber}"/>
      </Properties>
    </Action>
So I'm kind of missing the "common thread" within your development; could you go more into detail?

PM Work Order & Inspection Instructions simultaneous printing

I'm trying to setup QM Inspection Instructions to print when PM Work Order prints. I tried 2 things so far:
in SPRO:
QM: Define Print Control, Forms, Print Programs - however, this section only deals with Order Category 50; a non-PM Order category. So I couldn't do anything here.
PM: Define Shop Papers, Forms and Output programs - here I tried setting up INSP_INSTRUCTION Form with Output program RQEEAS20, and it gives the following message: "ABAP form routine PRINT_PAPER in ABAP RQEEAS20 not found".
I was wondering if someone can point me in the correct direction of how to setup?

How to deploy task display forms correctly in 10.1.3.5

I have a bpel workflow process that i've deployed successfully to the bpel console in our dev environment. The workflow process launches fine when I initiate a new one and sends an email out to log into the worklist app. When I log into the worklist app and click on the workflow task, I get an error stating this:
Error while inoking URL to display the content. Error while invoking URL.
Am I supposed to deploy the .ear file for the workflow task display form in a certain container such that it can be found in the worklist app?

Perhaps the browser cache was refreshed or dumped. You can see this behavior (Forms not picking up changes made in the config files) by experimenting with the background color (set in formsweb.cfg). Make a change, load a page, new is there sometimes, sometimes not. When not, doing a refresh on the page (force a new/clean read) results in the new color being applied.

Display form results

I am creating an HTML form for a customer where customers
will fill out the form then print it off to send in with a
registration payment. Is there a way I can have the user redirected
to another page with the form results displayed so that they can
print them. I do not want to create a database for this as the
customer does not have hosting yet and I am not sure what database
would be available. They also are not going to be saving the
information. I could have the user just print the form after it is
filled out but that obviously does not look as good. Appreciate any
ideas you might have.

Thank you for the quick response.
I have never done any coding in ASP so sorry if I have
several questions that might seem very basic. Below is the start of
my form including the first two form fields. Is the post method

Not exactly sure how to do the Request.Form("nameOfElement")
for the "print" page. I understand that "nameOfElement" would be
changed to "course" and "name" but not sure on the rest. Should
this be in a "form"? Again, sorry, never worked with ASP before.

Taxes are not getting displayed in PO Print

Hello Everyone!
       My problem is,
           I am working on PO Print. In production server in case of one PO item I have applied tax conditions 'ZBRO' and 'FAS2'... to display these taxes for this item in PO i have written code in elements
'ITEM_CONDITIONS' and 'ITEM_CONDITIONS_UNIT' (My SAPscript name is ZMEDRUCK which is a copy of standard MEDRUCK with chnages). For other POs these taxes are gettindg displayed as they are going through elements 'ITEM_CONDITIONS' and 'ITEM_CONDITIONS_UNIT'.
          But in this PO it is not going through elements 'ITEM_CONDITIONS' and 'ITEM_CONDITIONS_UNIT' so I m not getting these taxes displayed in PO Print.
          Please help me..its urgent.
       Thanks & Regards,

How to get Distiller to display as a printer in my programs

Hi there, I recently re-installed and re-activated Creative Suite 3 on my Windows 8 computer, but Distiller does not display as a printer option in any of my programs. I already uninstalled and re-installed the bunch. Still no use. How do I fix this? Any suggestions?

Hi Sariensteyn,
This version of suite wasn't tested with windows 8.
I would suggest to upgrade to the latest version and that should help.

TO not printing in background processing of process message

Dear Experts,
We are using PI sheets and process messages to do GR (WM) and then put away to a destination storage bin. TO is getting printed in the default user profile printer when user is manually sending process message in CO54. But not getting printed when processed by a background job(RCOCB004). We tried even after maintaining the printer in background user but of no use. It only generates the spool and no direct print happening. Kindly let me know if this is the std SAP behavior and any way to control this.
Thanks

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]
