Doubt in printing variables in script

Hi Experts,
I am having small doubt.
1).I need to write one condition for sales org 'US11' and divisions '20' or '40'. So the below logic is correct or not.
if vbdkr-vkorg = 'US11' and and vbdkr-vtweg = '20' or vbdkr-vtweg = '40'.
select........
endif.
2). i need th print these variables in script. can i use the logic like this.
if &vbdkr-vkorg& = 'US11' and and &vbdkr-vtweg& = '20' or &vbdkr-vtweg& = '40'.
&zkbetr1/ zpery1&
else.
&zkbetr/ zpery& (This is for sales org other than US11)
endif.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hi,
I think your condition would be more apt if you code this way:
IF vbdkr-vkorg EQ 'US11' AND ( vbdkr-vtweg EQ '20' OR vbdkr-vtweg EQ '40' ).
ENDIF.
Also, look at putting the code into a subroutine called from your driver or subroutine program and then returning the value. The "logic" for determining the value to be printed can then be performed within the subroutine rather than the SAP script.

Set filename of printed PDF via script

Hi folks!
I have a little problem with generating a PDF. First my Workflow:
I have a InDesign document with 6 pages. This document is merged with a databasefile containing 100 records. After merging it, we have to generate a PDF file. This PDF file is opened within acrobat. Within the document, I'm searching for an ID each record has so I can split the document to 100 files (each with 6 pages) and name it by the ID I found.
The script within Acrobat is finished and working. I thought, the InDesign script is finished ,too. But I was wrong -.-
I merged the databasefile with the document and exported it as PDF. But after exporting, we noticed that the script within Acrobat isn't finding the adressheader where the ID is in. The script only noticed the text after that header. The result is, that Acrobat get's always "null" as ID
If we print the PDF with our PDFprinter, the header could be read by our Acrobat script. I don't know why this is... But now I changed the script to print the files via our PDF printer. Unfortunately I can't set a name for my exported file - do you know if there is a possibility to print PDF's without prompting after each one and with a via script given name?
Here you can see the old script for InDesign and right after it, the Acrobat sript. Maybe I made some mistake by generating my PDFexport and don't need to use the printer?
INDESIGN SCRIPT:
* prompts filebrowser and stores name and path of file in variable
var sourceDocument = File.openDialog("Bitte Indesign-Dokument auswählen", "*.indd", false);
* stores only prefix of filename for use as new filename
var newName = sourceDocument.name.substr(0, sourceDocument.name.length-5);
* stores folder where file is stored
var dbSourceFolder = sourceDocument.parent+"/";
* prompts for databasefile where generating should begin
var dbstartfile = File.openDialog("Bitte Start-Datenbankdatei auswählen", "*.txt", false);
* gets basename of databasefile
var dbstartfilename = dbstartfile.name.slice(0, dbstartfile.name.search(/_Teil+/));
* gets number of first databasefile
var i = dbstartfile.name.slice(dbstartfile.name.search(/_Teil+/)+5).slice(0, -4);
* generates path name and name of first databasefile to use

        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(sourceDocument.parent+"/"+newName+"_Teil"+i+".pdf"), false, PDFPreset);
        // closes opened indesign document
        mergeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
        i++;

Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

Hi friends.
I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
Thank you very much for help!

Box printing in SAP script

i want to display box in Window in SAP script.. n in that box i want to habe Amout Rs Printed... please help mi with the same

Text Elements
You can define text elements (window texts) for each window. On the Form: Request screen, choose Edit ® Text elements.
The print program accesses text elements by name, formats them and prints them in the respective window. That is, the program can decide which text elements should be printed in a particular window. It calls these text elements by name to print them. You must therefore change text element names in the print program if you make any changes to text element names in a form.
In the layout of a text element, you can use only the paragraph and character formats defined in the form.
Example of a text element in an order confirmation:
/E ITEM_LINE
IL &VBDPA-POSNR&,,&VBDPA-MATNR&,,&VBDPA-ARKTX&
/ &'Customerarticlenumber 'VBDPA-IDNKD' '&&'Position
/ 'VBDPA-POSEX&
This example shows a section of a main window of a form, with an item line of an order confirmation. The /E in the tag column is used to identify the text as a text element, ITEM_LINE is the name of the text element.
Default Text Element
At the start of a window, you can define a text element without the /E command in the paragraph format column. This text is always printed at the start of the window. It is not necessary to insert this text explicitly via a print program.

Boxes:
Use the following code
/: BOX XPOS 1 MM YPOS 2 MM WIDTH 20 MM HEIGHT 40 MM FRAME 10 TW.
Box is the command used for printing box in script.
XPOS - x- axis position
ypos - y axis position

Acrobat Reade x on Printing with ghost script 8.54

Hi,
1)open a pdf file with adobe reader x
2) Then select " print" using Ghost script 8.54 version
3) Ghost script throws "stack overflow" and "offending Command" error message
this does not happen ,with earlier version of Adobe reader
Can any one reply the reason for this behaviour.
Thanks,
A.Aravind

We do not know what platform you are running your software on. Personally, I think this is a question for Ghostscript support, not Adobe Reader. You can try to print to a postscript file, then run Ghostscript on the postscript file. If you have the same error then post a bug report here:

Help with "Print to PDF" Script...

Hi All,
I'm a Web Designer and I would need help creating a Print to PDF Script...
Here's what I have:
// Illustrator Export Script
var difDocuments;
difDocuments = documents.length;
    for(i=0;i<difDocuments;i++) {
        var aDocument;
        aDocument = documents[i];
        var docName;
        docName = aDocument.name;
        var docPath;
        docPath = aDocument.path;
        var docPathStr = docPath.toString();
            if (docPathStr.length>1) {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = aDocument.path + "/" + aDocument.name;
            else {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = "Z://Users//Fred//Chavi Files//Saved Exported PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name;
        var printOpts;
        printOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
        printOpts.printPreset = "Print As PDF";
        var fileToSave;
        fileToSave = new File(docPath + "/" + "Saved Flat PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name);
        aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);
So what I'm attempting to do is to make a Print to PDF script rather then a Save As PDF, since print as PDF takes half the space...
The settings would either be from a Print Preset or just by regular options...(if someone could make a list of the attributes and the "formatting" it'd be extremely appreciated...
Thanks,
Fred.

I already tried that...my test file was around 60kb with the "Print as PDF" and 104kb using the "Save as PDF" and then Optimizing....
I'm mostly doing the exporting to PDF on the Windows machine and I tested my script in Windows as well...
Am I just formatting it wrong?
It tells me:
"Error 1242: Illegal argument - argument 1 - Object Expected
Line: 30
->
aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);"
and just before that I had a couple of "Constructor" errors...in the "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Guide" it was saying that:
"The following objects must be created explicitly:
Illustrator save options
PDF save options
PPD file
PPD file info
printer
print flattener options
print job options
print options"
What exactly do they mean? I created the objects like so: "object = new object();"
It also mentionned a "var object = app.document[0].add();" Those are to create paths and shapes if I'm not mistaken (ActionScript background).
Hopefully I'll find a way around this...
P.S: how much slower would an Action be? And could an action be "transformed" into a Script?
Thanks a lot for your help

Print with only script.

I use do not to make the print button can, i print with only script.
Is this possibility??
if this is possibility, please informs the method to me...

Not sure what you are asking but I think you are asking if you can print through script. If that is the question then the anwser is yes. In the My Favorites library there is a print button configured and ready to be used. Simply drag and drop it onto your convas and you are ready to go.

Why does my new hp 4500 G510n-z printer have a script error 2107 + won't print a page from on line?

Good day to everyone.
The new hp 4500 G510n-z is connected to an hp Pavilion dv7 laptop using windows 7, 64 bit.
I can copy and paste the on line item into microsoft word and print it, but if I attempt to print the same item directly from the on line source I get " error has occurred inscript on this page"
                               " Line 2107"
                               " Char 1"
                               "Error: Unspecified error"
                               "Code 0"
                               "URL res:// ieframe.dll/preview.js"
                               " Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"
How can I work around this problem?
This hp pavilion dv7 laptop has worked with hp officejet printers such as 5510, 5600, and 7210 for the past two years and I do not recall having this problem.
The problem seems to have arrived with the set up of the new hp 4500 officejet printer to my computer.
Please help solve this problem.

You can check if your SAPScript is able to talk with the driver program.
In SE71
Open in Change Mode
Form > Check > Text
Select the Include Res checkbox .. Press Enter
Enter your Program in the Next popup by "Append Print Program"
Now, press Copy.
It will show you the errors.
In your proram WA must a in TOP include or Globally declared.
