Export an Image to PDF from a WAD Template

Hi Friends,
I want to export the Company Logo used in the template to the PDF. But here i am not allowed to use Report Designer for that.
So can any body tell me how to export the image to PDF without using the Report Designer.
Thank You.

Hi,
If you are using BI 7 here is what you should do.
Insert the reaquired image 'Company Logo' in the MIME repository in the system first.
1) Se80
2) MIME repository --> choose an appropriate folder to put the image (if it is company logo you can choose SAP -> BW -> Customer -> Images)
3) Remember, this will create a transport request and needs to be moved to every landscape whereever the template is accessed. It is common folder accessible to all SAP users in your system.
In WAD,
1) On the top you will find a button called 'Insert Image'
2) Give the path to the image in the MIME repository.
The source will mostly be like -> bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/Images/...Logo.gif etc.
3) For the Export to PDF, use a Button item and assign command 'Export'. Keep Web Template and Web Item default and export format - PDF.
When export button is clicked, along with all web items, your image will get exported to PDF.

hi,
all the UI elements in the adobe form are generally connected to your web-dynpro Context.
whatever you type in the online adobe form is reflected in the respective context attributes of the dynpro Context of the view where "ur Interactive form UI element is".
that means you can yourself fill the contents of ur interactive form by working on the get/set methods of the context attributes.
Likewise you can clear the form by setting all context attributes to blank eg ""
interactive form has two imp properties:-
*dataSource
data source points to the node all whose context attributes will be made available in the interactive form
*pdfsource
points to the context attribute which will hold the pdf.
note that the type of this pdfSorce attribute will be binary.
if you still have doubts.
give me your gmail mail id. i 'll send a tutorial.
with regards,

How to export antialiased images of PDF pages?

Hello all:
I recently upgraded to Acrobat XI, and I am surprised to see that you STILL cannot export (or Save As) PDF pages to images that are ANTIALIASED!? Does anyone have a simple answer for this that doesn't involve a workflow of more than 5 steps? This is so headslappingly obvious a need that I'm at a loss for what Adobe's engineers are thinking when programming the Save As Image functions...
I posted this question all the way back in 2009 (see post at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2411677#2411677), and still the answer is the same: when Acrobat saves pages as TIF or JPEG files, they are ALIASED. Who would want that? Who?! WHY?
It's simply exasperating that Adobe does not include a tiny, little check box that says "Antialiased" in the "Save As TIF / JPEG Settings" dialog box where you set all kinds of parameters like resolution and colorspace....If the exporting process would just include antialiasing, you could set the resolution you desire and YOU'RE DONE.
But, as far as I can tell, you still have to perform some kind of gymnastic routine like:
Open the PDF and select all the desired page thumbnails to export.
Right-click and choose Extract Pages. Make sure to check "Extract Pages as Separate Files."
Export all the separate PDFs for each desired page into a folder somewhere.
Open Photoshop and start recording an Action.
Open one of the PDFs and specify the desired resolution.
Save it in a desired location in an image file of your choice (TIF/JPEG).
Stop recording the Action.
Delete the resulting image you made of the test PDF page to avoid an overwriting error later when running the batch (or check box to overwrite in batch dialog).
Run the Action in Batch mode on the entire folder of separate PDF pages.
This is preposterous.
Adobe, please get the simple things right for everyday low-level users before adding feature bloat to Acrobat with each passing version. Please.

Hi Dave: Good points about reducing feature bloat and installer footprint taking priority for most users...
However, if, as you say:
Acrobat and Adobe Reader are developed as a standalone product family....
Ultimately, since you can get an AA bitmap of a PDF file by just opening it in Photoshop etc., there is very little commercial demand for Adobe to include that feature in Acrobat.
then, those people who do not have Photoshop (because AA is designed to be standalone, right?) cannot access antialiasing in exporting PDF images at all! Your point is exactly my point.
If there is so little demand, then why include Export to Image functionality at all? Just eliminate it completely to save installer footprint space!....But, then, I'm sure you realize people would complain about that immediately, no? So, again, why include it at all when it's only able to export aliased images which virtually nobody is going to want? That's very passive-aggressive toward's Adobe's users. Nobody really benefits from half-baked features only begrudgingly included in software to placate the vocal minority of users who would otherwise miss it. I realize this isn't a huge issue for most users, but I think this points to a larger mentality within Adobe and the software industry in general....
There is a huge number of people working in corporations that own legacy versions of AA who have not and will not likely subscribe to Creative Cloud! (e.g.: The 100-person architecture/engineering firm I worked at for 10 years had one copy of Photoshop on a community graphics workstation and made everyone use a sign-up sheet to access it.)
Also, it's nice in theory that PDFs are supposed to be a print format. But, many many times, AA users have to make images (for PowerPoint, blogs, client portals etc.) from PDFs that they did not originally create and do not have the source files to recreate or export as images from their originating software. PDF export to images from Acrobat is their only choice without access to Photoshop.
And, if AA is truly designed to be a stand-alone product, untethered from the capabilities of the entire suite of functionality across Creative Cloud apps, then a modular plug-in approach to controlling feature bloat would be more appropriate, no?
For example, AutoCAD is a giant, sprawling application for technical drawing. And AutoDesk has recognized over the years that AutoCAD is used by many industries, each with special needs unneccesary to other industries' user base. So, they've created add-on packs of plug-ins that transform vanilla AutoCAD into AutoCAD for Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bridge Design, Home Building, etc....see where I'm going?
And Adobe has a far larger installed user base for Acrobat than AutoDesk does for AutoCAD! How about plugins like AA for Technical Publishing, AA for 3D modeling, AA for Presentations?...

Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

Exporting Crystal reports to PDF from VB - Hmmmm doozy

Post Author: shiniz
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello,
I'm currently exporting successfully to PDF from crystal reports 10 to PDF using options:
Report.ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
Report.Export(False)
All is well but I would like the PDF I export to be mono colour (ie black and white) not greyscale.
Is there an option I am missing? or is this a question I should raise on a VB forum...
Thanks for any suggestion..

This problem cleared up when I re-saved my main report after editing the embedded sub-reports. Was related to extra headers and footers being added to sub-reports, along with "can grow" format option set to "No".

Low resolution images in .pdf from PowerPoint

I have Acrobat Professional 7.0.3, and MS PowerPoint 2003 SP3. When I convert a presentation into PDF that looks good in PowerPoint, and prints fine from PowerPoint, my image resolution drops and looks awful. It doesn't matter if I use "high quality print," or "press quality." No matter what I do, the images don't look good. These are high resolution images, so that's not the problem.
Thanks for your help!
BHB

I think so. PowerPoint has a menu item called "Adobe PDF." There are four options, one is "change conversion settings." In that window I set the "conversion settings" to "high quality print." Then I select "Adobe PDF" in PowerPoint again, and this time click on "convert to Adobe PDF." Then a small window called "Acrobat PDFMaker" pops up and does the conversion. The resulting PDF file opens in Acrobat Professional.

Export single Pages (as PDF) from a .indd file

Hi folks
i use ID CS2 and i'm trying to export single pages from an indd file (using C#).
i tried to make an example first and thats my code so far:
[CODE]
InDesign.Application App = (InDesign.Application) COMCreateObject("Indesign.Application");
InDesign.Document doc = App.ActiveDocument;
InDesign.Page page = (InDesign.Page)doc.Pages[1];
doc.Export(IdExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
[/CODE]
Now it says that the IdExportFormat command is not known.
any suggestions would be very great.
kind regards

thx for the quick answer. this piece of code is from a sample and i changed id to this one:
in the very top of the program - using InDesign (so that the idExportFormat works)
doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, "C:\\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, //object using)
now i have no idea what i should enter at object using
could you explain that to me a little bit further? do i have to make a constant var that has the value 1952403524 and then use idExportFormat.idPDFType as well or idExportFormat(1952403524)?
i haven't progged a while and i feel a little bit dumb right now =D so sorry for this newbie questions.
thanks for your help, i realy appreciate that
kind regards

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Export data to Excel/PDF from e.g. a repeater tag?

Hi,
The repeater tag as well as the grid tag are very useful. But what if we would like to provide functionality for the user export the data shown further to Excel/PDF?
I looked at http://displaytag.sourceforge.net/ which gives this possibility out of the box.
Others done anything similiar with BEA netui tags?
Perhaps creating your own custom tag?

Export to PDF (print) and choose the press setting. If you need crop marks and bleeds, add them in the marks and bleeds pane of the export dialog.

How to call a BSP page or webdynpro from a WAD Template button

Hi All,
I want to implement a button on a web template which when called involes a BSP page or a web dynpro and displays the BSP page or webdynpro in a popup window.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
What you could do is create a bsp application which receives workbook id as url parameter.
From WAD create a link to this BSP page and pass the wbook id in the url.
Within the BSP you can then read the excel as binary string like below
Select * from rsrwbstore into table wb_tab where workbookid = wbid.
You can then set wb_tab-clustd as the response of the page with mime type to 'application/vnd.ms-excel'. which will open as excel
Take a look on this weblog,

Using data from a spreadsheet, how can I create multiple completed PDFs from a form template?

Note that I am completely new to adobe acrobat.
I have a form template for a completion certificate for students who take a summer workshop where I'm working. It includes data such as their name and the program they completed. I have all the necessary information for each student in an excel spread sheet. Rather than sit here and enter data into the form 300+ times, I want to automate the process. I'd like to be able to specify the spread sheet and either have acrobat just print out all 300, or save them as seperate files so I can print them easily.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the response! I'd be interested in writing a script for it (I've actually been researching it a bit already). I'm completely new to Javascript (and scripting) but have a fair level of experience with c/c++ so I feel it shouldn't be too bad. I'll ask here for now, just let me know if I should ask a new question on the scripting forum instead.
I've looked at the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf) a bit but am having trouble finding a way to read the spreadsheet's data in (I was planning on using a csv file). I found Doc.importTextData(), which can parse a tab delimited file and from the sounds of it fill in the forms automatically (though I would much prefer a c style file interface that lets me write the parsing logic). Every time I try to call importTextData it returns -1 though, which means "Warning: User Canceled File Select". When I call it direct from the JavaScript Debug Console I just get a -1, but when I have it execute when I save I get "NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.". I did a bit of research on that and modified my script to look like:
Autofill = app.trustedFunction(
    function ()
        app.trustedFunction(importTextData);
        app.beginPriv();
        var result = this.importTextData("test.csv", 0);
        app.endPriv();
        return result;
I've also tried running Acrobat as an administrator, but I still get the same error. I could just not be understanding privileges correctly.
My overall plan was:
    for each row in the spreadsheet
        - read the row in from the file
        - fill out the fields in the PDF using the read data
        - save the file with a new file name.
If there is a better method to do this, just let me know.
Thanks again for your time!

How to call a help file from a WAD Template button

Hi All
I need to implement a button in a web template when I press the button it displays another HTML or text file it is mainly on help on the report.
I am just wondering how to store this HTML or text file in the system and what function to implement in the web template button ti display this text or HTML when the button is pressed.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
Please try this out:
With WAD 3.5 it's easy. You could use javascript function: window.open().
window.open("/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm","NewWindow","width=750,height=700,left=100,top=100");
Try using the SCRIPT Item in WAD 7.0. You can use the same code within the SCRIPT Item and call the function which has been defined in the Script Item, in the XHTML part of the Template.
It may help.
Or put the file in another web template and on click of a button, the new template opens up and displays the content of the file.
Not sure though if the latter one would be useful, its just a thought.
Hope it Helps,
Regards,
Amit
