Export file in specified format for printing labels etc (BOnewbee question)

Hello to all,
has anyone experiences with generating a export file in special text-format to a directory???.
Is ist possible to generate this file after some action in BO?? (Printing delivery form and after that generate file for printing barcodelabel in special application???)
Sorry, but i dont have any programming experiences in BO - only in SAP R/3 with ABAP.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

There are a number of ways to do this. You could use the SDK to trap an event and then automate your barcode printing from .net. You could also use middleware (iBolt, K2, biztalk, etc) You might also write a SQL DTS job with an associated trigger to save out a text file.
I guess the answer to your question depends on how big your company is, how spread out your IT resources are and what technical resources you have to dedicate to the project.

How to export data to specified format as EXCEL(XXL)

Dear Experts,
Good day!
Who can help me that to export data in SAP by KE30 Transaction Code? We planed to do some things on browser using SAP GUI for HTML and ITS 6.20 in SAP R/3 640. Now, our end-user occur one problem that they need outgoing the data wanted through browser from SAP(Triggered by KE30). In the SAP GUI for Windows, they can do it to export data into specified format (as XXL), but that for HTML can't done. The problem had a message shown below: The presentation server does not function in Windows. Which other way to resolve this? Please tell us, thank you!

The XXL export is not supported by Sapgui for HTML(Webgui) via Office Integration. See note: 512068    Office integration and SAP GUI for HTML
However there is a workaround available, this is described in note:

can help you.
(the note is old - but the information in it still holds true)
Please note that the download and upload functionality of the SAPGui for HTML (WEBGUI) requires a Java Virtual Machine.
Please see note 980772 for a list of the supported JVMs.

Formatting for print

I have read about using CSS for printing out your pages so
that you dont
have to create 2 copies of each page you want printed.. but i
cant find how
to actually put it to use..
I have added the necessary code to my CSS file.
I have changed the media type to media="print"
and all i keep reading is that this allows you to have the
same page
formatted for print..
But how exactly do i call the same page for print? do i add a
link to the
page saying click here to print? if so what woudl the link
actually point
to?
or by just including the right code, when the end-user choses
to click print
within there browser that knows to display the same page
using the
print.css?

The browser display will always be the same, whether you have
a print CSS
option or not.
The arrangement is -
You have one style sheet for your screen layout say
"screenstyle.css" and
one for your print layout say "printstyle.css"
You ad both style sheets to your page code -
<link href="screenstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="screen"
/>
<link href="printstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="print"
/>
When a user views your page on their screen it is laid out
according to your
screenstyle.css style sheet.
When the user prints the page, the printed output is laid out
according to
you printsyle.css style sheet.
Hope this helps

When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have columns of different widths?

When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have a column of different width?
Case in point, the supplied avery labels in Appleworks does not have 8195. When I build one using custom design I need a small column between column 2 and 3 to line up the info in columns 3 and 4. All the labels are 1.3/4 inch wide but I need to insert a column 1/4 wide to match up with the avery page....
Any ideas???
Thanks......
---warren

Well, the issue is that when you creat a custom width of 1.3/4 from the edge of the first label to the edge of label 2 all is good. The right and left margins were also set correct in AW. The Avery page, for some reason, has a small 1/4 inch column between the columns of label 2 and 3 therefore making the distance between the left edge of the label in column 2 and the right edge of the label in column 3 - a width of 2 inches and not 1.3/4.
I guess Avery wanted the page to look even.
I did this work around.....
I created a custom lay out of 2 columns (not 4) with the correct width of 1.3/4 from label edge to label edge and the correct left side margin. After printing the first page I just turned the sheet 180 degress and printed the 2nd page to use all the labels on the Avery sheet. Since the upper and lower margin were the same it worked great....
"Great minds think alike"... thanks for your suggetion

Problem with getting specified pages for printing

requested Sir,
I am sanjeev, presently working with adobe indesign for publishing.
i am working verious sets of master pages,
now have a problem go gate specific pages for print in the same software.
it shows saction name that i could not inditify
give me the message
(one or more of th pages specified are not valid page name)
so how gate the valid name of pages?
please slove my problem,
thanks
sanjeev

If your document has more than one section (sections are used to restart page numbering and similar tasks) you can identify the pages using either the logical name, which uses the section prefix and the "logical' page number which is the number that appears in the page marker, or you can use the absolute page number, which is the position in the document. You can set your preferences to display section or absolute page numbering in the Pages panel, too.
Unless you assigne some other prefix, sections are labeled as Section I, Section II and so on, and pages are designated by Section:Page# in the dialogs. If you want to use absolute page numbering in the dialog instead, you can add a + sign in front of the page number in the dialog: +6-+12 will be the sixth though twelf pages in your document, even if they are in different sections and carry the numbers vi - 4, for example.

Hw can I generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format for printing ie pdf

A further question re. Printing of Graphs
There are many similar questions but none where the answers are acceptably adiquite or two or three were the link was broken,
"Developer exchange forums have been moved" and a pointer to the new
site, unfort it was hard to find or guess the rest of the link.
So here is my angle on this problem;
So far I have tried;
Using property node: "App. Printing.Default Printer" to select the printer to use, then
Using Report Functions to print controls;
New Report, to generate a new report reference
Set Report Orientation
Set Report Margins
Set Report Font
Set Report Header Text
Set Report Font
Set Report Footer Text
loop for each page
Set Report Footer Text, With page number
Append Control Image to Report, several times
New Report Page
Until the end of the last page
Print Report
Dispose Report
Initially using existing XY-Graph controls from the front panel. These
are on a page of a Tab control to hide these controls while not in use
and allow them to be hidden while generating the printout.
Unfortunately when this page is hidden any graph scales set to
autoscale don't, (normally don't need to and would otherwise be a waste
of processor time), resulting in graph plots going off scale or
becoming a line along the axis.
An issue is that what is printed appears to be read from the screen, so resolution is much
lower than required for for printing, resulting in rather pixellated
printed versions. These prints will usually be emailed, so tried the
pdf995 "printer driver" but the resulting pdf file size is rather large.
Currently trying Plot-XY on a much larger picture so as to get
adequate resolution for printing, however suspect this will result in
much larger pdf files and probably cause other problems.
The preferred solution in this case will probably be to generate print
output, instead of based on raster images (ie jpg or png), but on a
vector format, maybe via postscript or directly in pdf format.
Similar graphs currently printed from Excel via pdf995
(or OpenOffice) result in files around 20 kb per page. these can be printed at any size
(at least upto 64 times) without becoming pixellated, so assume these
are vector based.
Currently a page with 4 XY Graph controls uses around 40 to 45 kb per
page but resolution is poor and overcoming that may push file size up
to 150 to 200 kb per page, and the whole job can be 50 to 100 pages.
Are there any functions to generate XY graphs directly in a vector data format preferably in pdf or via PostScript format.
Cheers
Darryl

Hi Darryl,
I was able to reproduce the issue you were seeing, in which a report generation was taking up a large amount of space per page in a PDF utility. I found; however, using my attached VI (notice that it is set to *.png) and the CutePDF utility (free download at http://www.cutepdf.com/) I was able to get a per page size of about 10 KB. Also using the png I found that the image quality seemed to be quite high.
Please try incorporating this solution into your application and see if it reduces your file sizes.
Thanks and have a good evening!
Cheers,

PNG colour profiles - and this format for print

I know it's taboo to talk about PNG for printing.
But I can't find and I've searched the forums - there was a post made about embedding colour profiles a while ago.
I know PNG is a RGB only format, but I'm 36.8% sure I read something about embedding either RGB or ... wait for it CMYK profiles into PNG files.
If anyone can shed any light on this - and how about PNG for print - I've been against it for a long time - but it is a lossless format, it can carry 64 bit data.
I know I know - but I thought I'd ask anyway - see what people think.

You can't save a PNG with a profile out of Photoshop, but it looks like you can embed one via the image events scripts that ship with OSX (/Library/Scripts/ColorSync/embed). Unfortunately ID ignores the embedded profile and uses the document's assigned profile instead. PNGs do respond to ID's RGB profile and the RGB profile will have an effect on the CMYK separation when it happens.
Here's ProPhoto and sRGB:
From your ID document you can also assign a profile, which conflicts with the doc's profile, by selecting the png and choosing Image Color Settings.... So, you could assign AdobeRGB as your doc's profile and assign sRGB to all your pngs.

Packaging .AI file to PDF ready for printer - MAC Tiger user

Hallo, I need some help please about sending artwork to printer who is using a FUJI colour Laser printer. (like most printers who are using laser here they reply to me to simply send them PDF, when I ask about embedded profiles or not to embed they tend to look at me blankly and say just send them a proof for me to compare colours)?!?!?!?
So, Please could someone confirm wether or not I have applied the best setting in my PDF conversions: I am running CS3 creative suite and acrobat version 8.0. thanks.
When you get the PDF options window on the " save Adobe pdf", On the first GENERAL page I set this to PDF/x-1a, (but why is there also the standard tab where I can do the same thing? so I set this also to PDF/x-1a. The compatibility goes to acrobat 4.0.
I now go to OUTPUT. here I set the following:
Colour conversion -- convert to destination preserve numbers
Destination (since this is laser I set it to -- Generic cmyk profile
Profile inclusion policy is grayed out.
In PDF/X box under output intent profile name is set to Generic cmyk, and that is all.
Before i did all this my global colour settings management policy is set to FOGRA27 (iso 12647-2:2004) and adobe RGB 1998 for the photos from photoshop cs3 of course. I then convert the document to the generic cmyk profile before packaging it into PDF and assigning these settings.
I have searched everywhere for detailed tutorials about precisely how to pakage your work for an outside printer, but the web is silent when it comes to laser printing. I would love to know if there are any resources which cover all the issues of preparing your artwork for print since this side of the job is a minefield of complicated presets and flattening and font changing techniques.
I am a memeber of Lynda.com and while they are excellent teachings and professional, I have unfortunately not been able to learn the gritty detailsof printing from them, only the basics.
I appreciate the person who takes the time to reply to this.
I thank you.
Kind regards
Chris Watts

Your settings should do the job adequately, but there is a much simpler and more reliable method. Get Acrobat Professional. Generate your artwork in AI and save it as an .eps file. Then use Acrobat Distiller to generate the .pdf file. The advantages are that AD produces MUCH smaller file sizes, much better .pdf files and has a number of presets from which to choose, depending on the intended purpose of the file.
Another hint as far as quality control is concerned - you should be working in the CMYK color space in Photoshop, if you are going to produce CMYK images in the .pdf file. CMYK is a narrower color space than RGB, so there is often a color shift upon conversion. You may have the image exactly the way you want it, as an RGB, but be disappointed in the printed version because of the shift in color during conversion. If you work in CMYK, you can adjust it to get the results you want.

Trransfering file in specified format

I'm using WebUtil_File_Transfer.URL_To_Client to transfer a pdf file on the client machine. But I'm not getting exactly what I want. Want I be able to transfer the pdf file in another format, like csv, txt... Would anyone have an idea on how to achieve that?
Thanks

Hello,
What you want is not a transfert method but the ability to open a document in a format then save it in another format. Nothing that can be done by a single Forms or Webutil method.
As far as I know, you need a file converter, that has nothing to do with the Forms product.

Specify wifi for printing

Is there a way to tell my computer to use wifi for printing and the ethernet for everything else (i.e. internet, mail, etc.)? With both ethernet and wifi networks connected, my computer fails to find the printer. When I turn off the ethernet network, my computer is able to find the printer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

2 possible causes:
1. If the printer is connected to the network by both wi-fi and ethernet cable, it may not work properly. My HP printer insists I only have one connected or it just sulks
2. Your network may not be set up properly
If you can give more details (how the wi-fi and ethernet networks are set up, what kind of printer, how it's connected etc), it'll help

Insert 'illegal' characters into file name for print label?

Hey all (Happy New Year)
I actually see some people here who helped me with this originally so many years ago (hi 'x'). Any way, I'm using this .js file to annotate aerial imagery prior to printing, and I know just enough about scripting to make changes to the basic layout as needs arise - until now. A new rather anal retentive mgr doesn't like substitutions I've made for a few 'illegal' characters that windows doesn't allow in file names. For example, the file name used for the annotation is:
001    0003    1in = 660ft    CFL 154_074    01-01014   503-013.tif
But Mr. mgr doesn't like the in, the ft and the use of the _ instead of a period (.) so what I need is a modification that goes something like (and note I DO NOT CODE, so stop laughing) -
"look for in and replace with ", look for ft and replace with ' and look for _ and replace with , " so the final annotation written to the image is:
001    0003    1" = 660'    CFL 154.074    01-01014   503-013.tif
My current .js is below, I'd really appreciate any assistance. Thanks! TLL
// CREATE NEW CANVAS W/SPACE ON TOP
var deltaW = 0; // add 'N' pixels to the width
var deltaH = 150; // add 'N' pixels to the height
var anchor = AnchorPosition.BOTTOMCENTER; // anchor point for canvas resize
// SET FONT TYPE AND SIZE - use GetFontName.js to get exact name
var fontName = "ArialMT";
var fontSize = 18;
   // Check if a document is open
   if ( documents.length > 0 ) {
   var originalRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
   preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
   try {
     var docRef = activeDocument;
     docRef.resizeCanvas(docRef.width + deltaW, docRef.height + deltaH, anchor);
   // Create a text layer at the front
   var myLayerRef = docRef.artLayers.add();
   myLayerRef.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
   myLayerRef.name = "Filename";
   var myTextRef = myLayerRef.textItem;
   // ADD FILE EXTENSION, change the n to y below
   var ShowExtension = "n";

    // Set the Blend Mode of the Text Layer. The name must be in CAPITALS
    // ie change NORMAL to DIFFERENCE.
    myLayerRef.blendMode = BlendMode.NORMAL;
    // select opacity in percentage
    myLayerRef.opacity = 100;
    // The following code strips the extension and writes tha text layer.
    // fname = file name only
    //use extension if set
    if ( ShowExtension == "y" ) {
       fname = docRef.name;
     } else {
       di=(docRef.name).indexOf(".");
       fname = (docRef.name).substr(0, di);
     myTextRef.contents = fname;
     // docRef.flatten("n");
   } catch( e ) {
     // An error occurred. Restore ruler units, then propagate the error back

     preferences.rulerUnits = originalRulerUnits;

I did some quick testing and here is what I have seen.
I went into a cygwin shell and successfully did this:
$ touch t\"est\'t.jpg
$ ls t\"*
t"est't.jpg
This means that the underlying file system (NTFS) is able to correctly encode both the ' and " characters, at least as far as cygwin is concerned.
However, from the Windows command line and Explorer point of view, the ' is OK but the " is not. The characters /\"*?<>:| can't be used in file names in Win. This means you can get the ' and . characters working but not the " character.
From the js side, the code would look like:
var x = "001    0003    1in = 660ft    CFL 154_074    01-01014   503-013.tif";
var str = x.replace(/in/, '"').replace(/ft/, "'").replace(/_/, '.');
alert(str);
Which displays
001    0003    1" = 660'    CFL 154.074    01-01014   503-013.tif
The string stuff is easy, but while you can save a file with ' and . you can't use " via js. You can't even do it using the PS UI manually.
I've tested and verified this. Let Mr. Mgr know that it is not possible to completely comply with his requests. Unless, of course, you upgrade to OS X : )
