Editable form printing issue

I have created a form with InDesign CS6. Simple text fields with a submit button set up to email the form to my colleague.
After I have exported the form and saved it as reader extended, recepients can enter and save data, submit it to my colleague but can't print it.
In the printer dialogue box, the page preview shows the page, however it comes out as a blank page.
However, if I remove the submit button it prints fine. Is this a bug or is this intentional?

If it's a bug, the folks in the Acrobat or Reader forum would know better.

Editable form printing issues

Hi,
I have created a form with InDesign CS6, simple text fields with a submit button set up to send it via email to my colleague.
I have saved it as reader extended. Recepients can open and complete the form as well as save it. However they can't print it.
Yet when I remove the submit button it prints fine.
When attempting to print, the page appears in print preview, but nothing but a blank page comes out.
Is this a bug or intentional?
Thanks in advance

Smart form printing issue with LOCL printer and SAP printer

Hi,
The issues are as follows:
1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
Thanks,
Babu

Hi Prathap,
Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
Color: White
Saturation: 100%
this can be the problem.
I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
Color: Black
Saturation: 0%
and this should resolve the problem.
Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.

Script Form print issue with output type

hello,
i have maintained a output type for a purchase organisation in MN04, VN partner keep blank , medium 1 for print out and in date time : 4
output device is 'LOCL' "print immediately" and "release after output" are active in communication.
a message type generated when i created a PO, but it is a red light, and processing log is "Error in OPEN_FORM for document xxx".
after checked, custom script from caused this issue, but how to resolve this problem?
best regards,

Hello,
The error ME142 can have different causes like missing authorizations
or a terminated connection. Please see SAP notes 397691 and 532251. This note
states that is errors occur when purchasing documents are output, If
errors occur when purchasing documents are output, the system generates
an error message in the message log of the message overview. However,
error message ME142 'Error in OPEN_FORM for document &' contains only
the information that an error occurred and not the error cause. With the
attached source code, the error cause is also displayed in the error
message.

Script Form print issue

在SAP没有安装中文支持包的前提下，SAP Script Form有可能打印出中文字符吗？如有，怎么实现？
谢谢。

HP打印机时，打印方式是frontend吗？
用EPSON时也是用同样的打印方式吗？
Frontend（F,G)是调用windows的字体，打印机内部没有装中文字体也没有关系，照样可以打印中文。
其它打印方式:L,C不会调用windows的字体，打印机内部必须要装中文字体，才能打印中文。

I have developed a fillable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional X but when I try to use the Airprint feature the form print minus the field data, have anyone been able to resolve this issue?

Hi,
I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.
Good Luck

Regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview issues

Hi,
I have couple of issues regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview.
In my program i am passing below parameters to smart form function module:
t_control-device = c_printer.
t_control-no_dialog = space.
t_control-preview = space.
t_control-no_dialog = c_x.
t_output-tddest = g_spld.
t_output-tdimmed = c_x. " Print Immediately
t_output-tddelete = space. " Don't Release spool after output
g_user_settings = c_x.
Issue#1: Though i have set preview paramter to space, after executing program it is prompting for Preview Screen, There again i have to give printer name though i am passing printer name as above and i need to hit on print preview button to set Layout output.
Here how can i go directly to layout output without preview screen.
Issue#2: In some cases we need to Print the layout set output after executing program immediately without prompting for preview screen and then Layout set output should also be shown after printing the output.
How can i solve these issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
In the SAP menu screen goto <b>System->User Profile->Own data</b>
There in the defaults tab, for the output device give the value you had maintained for <b>g_spld.</b> This will not prompt you a dialog screen, and if you want to print immediately select the checkbox as well. Then try to execute the smartform. Hope this solves ur issue.

Editable forms typed in Acrobat display odd in Apple's Preview

I've been creating editable forms in Acrobat and typing information into those fields. The resulting PDFs look great in Acrobat (text is aligned, etc.), but when I open a PDF in Apple's Preview, all the text I typed in the editable fields is misaligned both onscreen and when I print the document.
My solution is to view the documents in Acrobat, but I'm worried about clients opening up the PDF when I send it to them and getting wonky results
Is this a known issue? Solutions?
Example of what I mean:.
PDF viewed in Acrobat - correct
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1CtqhC2b1MAEgYaxaQKNBQspRv9AFo
PDF viewed in Preview - incorrect, misaligned text
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=19gesQJw88nbKyXryJq63Sv2Rcj1
Thanks!

Non Acrobat (Adobe) readers will have difficulties viewing form files correctly. Since Preview, Skim and other PDF reader type do not have a form function built into them, they cannot distinguish the javascript field properly from other graphic elements on a page, hence the misalignment of the fields.
Your clients will have to use Acrobat Reader 7.0.9 and up to take full advantage of the form features.
Cheers.

Edit form responses in summary log

We collect "contact reports" via Forms Central. I need to make small editing changes to the submitted forms, such as spelling and punctuation, before I download and print the log. The problem we are having is sometimes it saves my changes and other times it does not. I am not the only one viewing the form, but I am the only one making any changes.
This is our first time using FormsCentral for data collection. Perhaps we should be using a different tool?

Hi,
It would be better if you could provide the steps in details about how you customize your Edit Form.
Anyway, you can take a look at the similar thread below, there is someone stuck with the similar issue before:

SharePoint 2013 July 2014 CU - People Picker fields empty in Edit forms

After applying the July 2014 CU for SharePoint server, I discovered that Person or Group (People Picker) fields are not populated with server values in list item Edit forms. However, the field values can be viewed in list views
and in Display forms. I examined the client side code and determined that field data is not being returned from the server for Edit forms.
In a test environment, I uninstalled SharePoint 2013, reinstalled SP 2013 with SP1 and the issue went away. I then applied the May 2014, June 2014, and July 2014 CUs. The issue did not exist after applying the May and June CUs. It
did exist after applying the July 2014 CU.

There is a workaround for this issue. It's a little convoluted, but hey, it's SharePoint. First, you must have a list that has at least one entry in it.
To begin with, you must first
have a list with at least one item in the list.
Next you edit the item with a role that has at least Design privilege, but don't save your changes.
Instead you Edit the page so you can then edit that web part. You can edit the page by clicking on the cog icon and selecting Edit Page
Edit the web part itself
Under “Miscellaneous” section on the just exposed web part window, select "Server Render (Server Render)" in the drop down labeled “CSR Render Mode
Click on “Apply” button within the web part
Save
I was told also the Sept CU would fix the issue but it is under review and to wait until the first of October. Incidentally we found that if you put the entire list into Quick Edit mode, the issue does
not appear.
I hope this helps someone.
