ECL viewer and Redlining on Web

Hi,
I need a web brower access to some DIR of DMS using ECL viewer and Redlining functionnality.
Do you have an idea?
Regards
Georges

Hello,
In fact, the WebDocument does not inculde the possibility to use ECL viewer.
But I read that viewing with ECL & doing Redlining is possibe via cFolder.
So do you know how to re-use the EAI applet (from cFolder) and include it in a Web Dynpro or something else without using cFolder (<< it is too 'big' for what we want to do)?
Have somebody a documentation about this applet?
Regards
Georges

ECL viewer error for Cfolder

I have installed ECL viewer and Cfolder. I have also applied OSS notes 494146,809056,809922.
When I am opening the *.jt ot redlining file in Cfolder the systems give s error that file not found.

Hi Patil,
sometimes it happens, that you click on the file-link itselfe. This is not starting the viewer. You have to click on the '0' below 'Redlining'.

ECL viewer printing format failure (A4- letter)

Hi all,
we are using ECL Viewer 6.0 Patchlevel 5 for viewing and printing CAD Drawings in purchasing, production, QA and so on. We are on SAP ECC 6.0 ( EA-APPL: SAPKGPAD17), and our SAPGUI version is 7.20 Patchlevel 1.
Our designers are using the CAD integration to Solidworks and when they save their work, a TIF file gets created and stored in the same DIR as the original CAD file. The drawing formats are mostly A3 and A4.
Now it happens really often that a user tries to print A4 TIF from ECL viewer which fails, because its sended to the printer in letter format. Since we do not have letter format in our printers, the printout hangs in the printer. All settings and defaults in the printdriver are set to A4, nowhere letter format is set. This seems to be a problem, since we switched companywide to Xerox Printers.
Could this be an issue between ECL-viewer and the global print driver from Xerox which we use everywhere?
Thanks and regards
Martin Schneider

ECL Viewer 6.0 - PDF View & Print Resolutions

Hi,
We installed SAPGUI 710 & ECL Viewer 6.0 Patch 4 for all our users.
Settings were made to display PDF through ECL Viewer in DC30.
We observed the following issues while working on PDF
Display quality are not good due to poor resoultion.
Even when we print from ECL Viewer, the quailty is very bad due to the poor resolution.
I have changed the settings to High Definition/Low speed for both Print quality & Preview.
There is some improvement. But, it is not as it is suppose to be.
Are there any other settings to improve the resolution to display & print from ECL Viewer.
Best Regards,
Madhu

We have installed the latest patches for the ECL Viewer and are still experiencing issues with resolution.
When I open a drawing and click on properties, I can see the 2D Loader Preferences for PDF's but cannot change them.
Currently the 2D Viewing Preferences are:
View As: TIFF Group4, Monochrome
Density: 300
The preferences are grayed out and cannot be changed/saved. I currently have PDF's configured to use %EAIweb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-Control%. I have researched KPRO and SPRO trying to find the config to change the Density from 300 to 1200 to see if this resolves the issue of the drawings opening and printing in low resolution but am unable to find this config.
I may also note I have not set up the MIME types. I have read that this should be done but again I lack understanding how this would be impacting my issue of resolution using the viewer. If I configure SAP to open %auto% the PDF's open with the workstation application Adobe and are clear. BUT this does not support our requirement to complete mark up's within SAP.
Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
Thank You!

ECL Viewer 6.0 in cfolders under WINDOWS VISTA

Hi Experts,
I have Windows VISTA installed and can not use the ECL Viewer 6.0 within cfolders 4.5. I know that there has been a restriction for the usage of ECL Viewer in cfolders and VISTA...
Is that issue solved? Do you know an appropiate patch?
Any hints are welcome.
Thanks a lot.

Redline in SAP document (*.dwg, *.pdf etc.) without ECL viewer Installation

Hi Experts,
We are implementing PLM Customer Collaboration in our Clients' system. Now If ECL viewer is installed in someone's machine, he or she can use Use ECL viewer functionality in cFolders like redlining in the drawing etc.
Now Problem is that though I am providing the Customer Collaboration through web to be used by customers, they can't use the redlining functionality. But, we can't go to every customer's machine & install the ECL viewer in their machine. Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC.
regards,
Soumen

Hi Soumen,
..Do we have any other alternative in SAP to get the redlining functionality without having ECL Viewer installed in local PC...
I doubt if there are any other options!! At best,what you could do is to enable the WebEx feature in cFolders,setup a meeting with your external partners and do the markup/redlining.

ECL Viewer Redlining does not work in cFolders for PDF

Hi,
I am using cFolders 4.5 with ECL viewer 6.0 patch level 4. Redlining functionality works for AutoCAD and graphics files such as JPG. However, when I try to use the redlining functionality on a PDF I get the message "This feature is currently not supported. Please contact your cFolders system administrator. The ECL viewer will shut down".
Any ideas on why this is happening. Is there anything specific I need to do to enable redlining for PDF files on cFolders.
Thanks,
Lashan

Hi Lashan,
This can be only realized in form of a modification.
To get the functionality, you have to change the code of BSP page
'doc_de_redline.htm'. You can find this information at transaction SE80

Switch to Layout:

ECL Viewer - Redlining in PDF

Hi
I have another issue this time it is with Redlining using ECL Viewer. We are using Seal Systems conversion servers to automatically convert Word documents to neutral file formats at Review status (one of the status in our DIR status network).
We use the neutral file format to do our redlining. Once we are done with redlining we ask the user to incorporate the changes. So user moves it back to previous status and once he finishes changes he brings it back to Review status. At this time conversion servers kick in and automatically convert the existing original document to pdf neutral file format. But in this process it looses our redlines. We want to keep our redlines. So is there a way that we can keep our redlines and not loose them when we run automatic conversion? Please let me know if there is a way to retrieve these redlines back.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Sreepati Hari

Hi,
As per my view it is not possible.
1) The redlining will be a layer above the original PDF file and more over it will not disturb the original PDF or the original file.
2) Whenever you are doing an conversion process, the PDF file will be generated based on the original file and not based on the neutral (PDF) file.
3) The newly created file will overwrite the existing file. so you will lose the redlines and you will have the newly generated file only.
I suggest to go for content revision on that particular status to that you can have the copy of both the old file and new file. This helps you to compare the old and new file created after the changes.

MRK

DMS:Redlining tab when clicked gives a ABAP dump in ECL viewer.

Dear All,
I am trying to use the redlining function but it is giving a ABAP dump which says
The current ABAP "CL_ABAP_CLASSDESCR============CP" program had to be terminated because the ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
Does any one had similar errors, i found a note for this 1021125 it is applicable for Sun Solaris x86/64 platform we are using the same platform so i just wanted to know is this note relavant to it since it has 2 patches to be applied.
We are on ERP 2005, ECC 6.0.
Regards

Hi Nishant,
Did you check the Version of the ECL viewer with ECC 6.0, check for the latest version and install it even in SAP GUI also you need to check the level & patch matching, while installing GUI you need to select all the components manually, might problem get solved.

Redlining layers cannot be saved using ECL Viewer

Hi,
I am having an issue saving redlining layers using ECL Viewer. When clicking the save button I get the an error message saying the file cannot be checked in. Storage categories have been setup. User has the correct authorization objects. A category for markup has been defined.
Any ideas on why this could be happening?
Thanks,
Lashan

Thanks Sam. I will check on implementing the note.
I have done further testing on this and my findings are as follows.
1. The error message "Error while checking in and storing:" described above only happens for AutoCAD (*.drw) files.
2. I tried redlining using the viewer for PDF and JPG files in SAPGUI and the layers are created. No issues here.
3. When try the same thing using EasyDMS, the redlining layers are created. However, I am prompted to create a new DIR with *.cgm file. If I cancel this and open the PDF or JPG again the layers are still saved.
Any ideas on why the above is happening? What is the correct behavior for the redlining functionality?
Thanks,
Lashan

"Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser" error in Windows 7 and Acrobat pro 8.1.7

I get the error "Cannot use adobe reader to view pdf in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again" in Windows 7 x32 and Windows 7 x64 with Acrobat pro 8.1.7. This happens when trying to open a PDF file in Internet explorer 8.0.760 or when I open a PDF in Quickbooks 2008. If I answer ok or cancel the file opens normally. If I open acrobat 8 first then the pdf files open as expected. I also tried a copy of Acrobat reader with no difference in the outcome. Since this happens on two different computers one fresh copy of windows 7 x64 the other an upgrade to windows 7 x32 and they used to work before the change to windows 7, I assume there is some kind of incompatibility with windows 7 and acrobat. Is this a known issue and will it be fixed in an update to acrobat in the near future?

tvandersluijs - I'm sorry if that screwed up your machine however:
1. What version of Adobe Reader are you using because as you can see the registry entry is for Adobe Reader 9, if ur using Adobe Reader 8 then u need to specify ur version as PAllens entry suggested - "E.g. "C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat [version]\Reader\AcroRd32.exe""
2. I've used this solution significantly because I have come across this specific issue for multiple users.
3. All the registry entry does is tell Windows what program to use by default to open/view PDF documents.
My intention wasn't to screw up ur machine or anybody elses as I said I've used this solution many times however what I've should gave is the disclaimer to backup ur registry before u make mods so u can revert back in case. Also the ony other thing I can think of is that this solution was for Windows XP using registry editior 5, I'm noticing that the title of this thread is Windows 7.
