Export Web Templates to PDF

Hi,
We would like our web templates exported into PDF format. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have instructions? Thanks!

There is a white paper on the BW Info Index about this.
It basically involves using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, which allows you to create a pdf from a URL. I've had varying degrees of success with this. You don't get much control over formatting. Process is also difficult to automatate.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mike

Convert SEM-BPS Web Templates to PDF

Hi everyone, one of my clients is requesting to convert all his SEM-BPS 3.5 Web Templates to PDF files dynamically.
I've already make a research on SDN an found several post about converting ABAP objects to PDF format (like <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp).
The thing is that I'm not an ABAP guy, my expertise is on JAVA.
I've just want to know if any of you have already found a successful alternative method to convert these web templates on PDF files using any Java techniques available.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Wulfrano,
we do not have this functionality. However, you can easily get a PDF for any HTML page. Check out for example CutePDF: http://www.cutepdf.com/

Export WEB Template in Excel in WEB Interface Builder

Hi Experts,
is it possible to add a web template with the pushbutton "Export in Excel" in a web planning layout?
So i have to do a web interface with a planning layout under which i have to insert a web template and a pushbutton with "Export in Excel" functionality.
Many thanks,
Fabio.

Hi Fabio
This is possible in Web Application Designer. In the WAD you have an option of selecting the "Export" command that allows you to select the file format you'd like to export to: Excel, csv, txt or PDF.
So you could consider pulling your layouts/queries into WAD and use this option.

Broadcasting Web template as PDF

Dear Gurus,
We are using WAD 3.x now and broadcasting the WAD template daily to the users as Email in HTML format.
This template consistes of multiple BEx reports.
Now the users wanted to view these reports in PDF format instead of HTML.
Is this possible in 3.x version...
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi,
You do not have an option of broadcasting as PDF using a 3.X template. Please refer to the following links:

Hope it helps.

XML Import/Export of Web Template

Hi, I'm looking to move a Web Template from Production to Development and I'm thinking of using the MetaData Repository XML Export/Import Functionalty. My only concern is that is might not pick up the Binary Objects Generated by the template to store Chart Settings.
Does anyone have any experience with this so? Again my concern is the Binary objects.
Thanks, Ken Murray

You cannot export Web Templates using XML. Only Objects for which there are Supporting BAPI's..

Convert Web Report to PDF

Hi all,
I need a possibility to <b>convert Web Reports</b> designed in WAD <b>into PDF</b>. SAP help portal says: 'You access BEx Web applications and reports in the portal. You can then convert these into PDF files and print them.' (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/03/d8c041a227ca17e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
But I haven't found any documentation how to do this...could anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
You will need to add a URL or button group to your template and use the command wizard to create the command ("Export Web Template"). You should be able to find more information in the SAP Help documentation for SAP NetWeaver 2004s, which I know you already have a link to.
If you are on a ramp-up project, you should have access also to the Ramp-up Knowledge Transfer (RKT) in the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/rkt-netweaver. This site contains materials that explain the new features, including the new web items and the command wizard. If you don't have access, check with your SAP consultant for assistance.

Web Template Print Setup

Hi All,
I am new to Web Application Designer.
Is there any way that I can define print set up for my web report in my web template?
Thanks
Raghu

Hi,
Well setting that many number of pages in one page looks difficult, and the size of the report will be so small that you will not be able to see anything properly.
But, while setting the command for conversion to the reqd. format, you can set options like "Fit to Page, Poster etc.."
Try using those options.
If you are using a Button to set the template for printing, in the properties of the Button, you have to name it and set a command of what it has to do. Then there will be a pop-up and choose "All Commands". In that choose "Commands for Web Template". Choose "Export Web Template".
In the next screen, give the reqd. inputs like setting paper type, data binding, scaling.
Also, here you can specify things like Fit to Page and Poster.
Try using this also.
<bi:CAPTION value="Print PDF" />
<bi:TOOLTIP value="Print to PDF Document" />
<bi:ACTION type="CHOICE" value="INSTRUCTION" >
<bi:INSTRUCTION >
<bi:EXPORT >
<bi:REPEAT_KEYCOL value="" />
<bi:PAPER_ORIENTATION value="LANDSCAPE" />
<bi:HEADER_RIGHT type="CHOICE" value="DATETIMEPAGE" />
<bi:MARGIN_RIGHT value="10" />
<bi:MARGIN_LEFT value="10" />
<bi:MARGIN_TOP value="10" />
<bi:MARGIN_BOTTOM value="10" />
<bi:ITEM_REF_LIST type="UNORDEREDLIST" />
<bi:TEMPLATE value="ZANALYSIS_PATTERN_PDF_EXPORT" text="Analysis Pattern Export - PDF" />
This is to reduce the default 25mm margins.
Try using these and let me know.
Hope it helps you out.

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document() (I normally place this in a Process)
BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

Image in header of PDF - Web Template

If i go through the Export wizard in the web template then i have limited options for header display wherein i can't set image in header. Is there any function's or something else which can help me to display image in header.
Please help.

You can create print versions of BI applications. To do this, you first export the selected Web application in PDF format. You can then print the PDF version. A dialog is provided to support you in creating print versions. You use this dialog to specify the layout of the print version.
Note that when printing Web applications, it is only possible to export and print the following Web items:
●      Analysis
●      Chart
●      Maps
●      Report
●      Information Field
●      List of Exceptions
●      List of Conditions
●      Text
You cannot print MIME objects or other Web items. If you want to print MIME objects (such as logos) that you have inserted into a Web template, you must insert the relevant MIME object into the Web application by using the Report Web item.

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.

Web Template format won't export properly

We have built several web templates as dashboards for our users. Typically the templates have a chart at the top, with two data tables next to each other on the page.
When we export to PDF or Excel. All the objects appear vertical, one after the other down the page so that the two tables are no longer next to each other horizontally.
I have tried to search the forum and the SAP help for a solution but so far nothing makes sense.
If anyone has any tips or steps they could share that would be great.
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Check these notes also.
Note 1164631 - NW 7.0 BI Web Reporting: Incorrect page breaks w/ PDF export
Note 1107306 - NW2004s BI Web PDF export - unnecessary page breaks
Hope this helps.

Web Template - Freeze Columns & Export to Excel

Hello Gurus,
I have a couple of questions .
Issue:11.I have a input query assigned it to a web template.The query displays the KF's by fiscalperiod/fiscalyear. There are around 10 characteristics and additional KF's by fiscal period.Is it possible to freeze the characteristics like in Bex analyzer or Excel spreadsheet. Is it possible to do it at the template level.
Issue:2:
To do the export to excel, do I have to attach a planning function for export to excel button. I know there is a function to export to PDF file. I don't see a export to excel function.Please advise.
Thanks for your help in solving the above issues.
Senthil

Hi,
issue 2
it is quite easy in WAD 7.0; all you have to do is to use command wizard - > export -> excel...
After that you have to choose web items which should be exported. If you don't choose anythink, every web item will be exported.
Regards
Erwin

How do I save or export my web pages as PDF files?

I'm trying to save or export web pages from my Firefox that I'm using on Windows Vista as PDF files. There isn't an option for this nor any information in your help files on this. Thanks for your time and I look forward to a response.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I tried to save a page as PDF today, June 29, 2010

Actually, you should right-click on the collection and choose the command Export This Collection As Catalog (and check the box next to Include Negatives). This will create a new catalog and you can move this and the photos thus created to the 2nd computer and then in Lightroom on the 2nd computer use File->Import from Another catalog
