Display W2 form in PDF format in ESS

I am trying to develop a WebDynpro ABAP application to display W2 Form in the Portal 7.0 ESS. I have designed a view with an Adobe Form element to hold the W2 form, and looking for any ideas about getting W2 form in PDF format from the ECC 6.0 system by providing parameters like EE number, Tax Company, and year.
I know that the tcode PU19 can be used for getting W2 in PDF format, but it involves too many steps to generate and view the W2 in PDF format. I am not sure what kind of coding (e.g. classes, methods, logic to retrieve W2) will I need to do in the Web Dynpro application to retrieve W2 in PDF format from the ECC system.
I will appreciate and reward any useful answers or pointers.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Saurabh,
Have you found a way to produce the W2s without using tcode PU19. I am looking at doing W2s in ESS for our company and am interested in anything you have done on this.
Thanks,
Robert

Display SMART form as PDF in WD ABAP

Hi ,
To display smart form as PDF , I am following the SDN article :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In my component , I have created the view VIEW_PDF, for this . I have created Adobe interactive UI element, and bind the property source to the attribute (XSTRING) where I will get PDF (after OTF conversion).
First of all I am using the FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME and usingf the import parameter fm_name .
Then using this FM
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
EXPORTING
   OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = lwa_output_options
    GW_VENREQDAT               = lwa_venreqdat
    GW_REQHEADER               = lwa_venreqhdr
IMPORTING
   JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            = lv_ssf_output.
from smart form ZVM_SFM_SUMMARY,I want to get the data in OTF format using the importing parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO of the above FM.
But I am not able to retrieve the data .Please direct me , where am I missing?
For converting it to PDF , I am using the FM CONVERT_OTF .
regards,
amit

You may continue like this there after...

Is it possible to generate oracle forms in pdf format

I have to generate a form in pdf format. Is it possible.
If yes, how to achieve this.
Thank you very much.
Navya.

One round about way to get a pdf screen shot is tick 'print to file' and use a printer which is set up with a postcript driver. This gives a postscript file which can be converted to pdf using 'ghostscript and gsview' (available free from gnu via various sites).

hi,
smart form to pdf--
All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform
EXPORTING
output_options = p_output_options
control_parameters = p_control_parameters
IMPORTING
job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
tables
otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata
lines = t_pdf
and if u need more u can check below links also

User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

Hello,
I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
Thanks

No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

1099 Form in pdf format

All,
We have a requirement to have 1099 form in pdf format to send the form via email to the vendors as well as we should be able to print to mail to the vendors. I believe this will be part of form design and send an email as attachment would be a batch job to kick off. Would this be correct?
Regards,
Sri

Hi,
You would maybe need one program. Process would be; standard form output spool is saved by user; then a periodic program execution can be scheduled which picks up these specific spools converts to PDF and mails them to the vendor. This program can also be triggered immediatly after execution of the earlier output or it could even be user initiated.

Print, Save form in PDF Format from SAP

Hi,
The business users would like the ability to save, print a form, i.e. a Contract (VA42/43) in a PDF format. My understanding is, this feature/option is should be available through Goto menu through a feature/option PDF Display which opens the form in a PDF Viewer that allows the user to Print and Save the form in a PDF Format.
My question is what is required in SAP to make this feature/option available to an end user, is it a security role, a user parameter, a trigger of a function module...etc.....any help on this would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Sean

Hello Sean,
you can define local printer as PDF printer (e.g FREEPDF) and print your PDF forms to that printer.
To be able to generate a form, you can create new printer:
name: locl_pdf
device type: PDF1
Host spool access method: G - front end printing
This locl_pdf printer will generate a pdf and send to your local printer which is setup for PDF saving.
Hope it helps,
Evgenij

Display trip form in pdf

In our Travel and expenses implementation of ESS, The display trip shows up in HTML. I was wondering how/if we can show up the form in pdf instead.
Thanks.

Hello Christopher,
thats actually exactly how it does work. You embed a Adobe UI element into your Web Dynpro application, either ABAP via SE80 or Java via NWDS. If you "design" it, the installed Adobe Livecycle Designer gets called right into your IDE (SE80/NWDS), its kinda like you click a *.doc element and your Word gets open.
What i have learned, especially if it comes to HCM processes and forms and Interactive forms in general, is that you should always use the lastest Adobe Designer, which is right now 7.10. The big advantage if you install it seperatly you can remove and install a new version easily. If you install the Adobe Designer along the NWDS and SAP GUI you have to remove the entire IDE (SAP GUI / NWDS) in order to install a "new" version of Adobe Designer (I actually had this problem a few weeks ago with my NWDS) And as i have already posted, afaik the version which comes alaong the SAP Gui / NWDS is still the "old" one 6.0
I hope this helps

LV_FUNC_MOD_NAME is your smartform function module name.
LV_XSTRING contains the stream of the pdf , send this to the browser using the following code.
    LV_FILENAME = 'RebateRequest.pdf'.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.
T.J.

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!
T.J.
