Extracting a .FOR file for SAPscript layout

Hello,
We are testing an interface with Adobe, where adobe will read our SAPscript outputs in RDI format and then apply different custom templates to this data prior to outputting on the printer.
The standard layout templates in SAP are available in the Adobe system but for a custom layout they need to create the template either manually or via a .for file. Apparently the .for file is something that can be extracted from SAP and this is where I need your help.
Can someone tell me how to extract a .for file from the layout in SAP.
Thanks,
Shamim

How to retrieve the Sapscript layout changes for a particular Transport request in development server after this Transport request so many requests created ?

Dear Abapers,
I request the Abapers kindly reply for this blog
I want to retrieve the sapscript layout changes for a particular transport request in development server after that many transport request created and moved to quality ?
I checked in SE03 transaction the transport request was there. But I want to retrieve the existing transport request which is not moved to Quality?
Is it possible to retrieve the existing transport request in development which is not moved to quality ?
Like how we retrieving the programs using versions in development server, In the same way I want to retrieve the sapscript layout in development server ?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There is no version management for SapScript or Smartforms .
When you write "transport request in development which is not moved to quality" - was the transport ever released and exported from the development system? If yes, and if the "Transport files" are still available in "Transport directory" (or if the transport files were backed up and could be retrieved), the transport could be imported again. If the TR was not exported, you are out of luck, I believe...
I would not recommend you do it on your own even if you happen to have enough authorizations (consult with Basis and/or Transport Admin, if you have one in your organization). I would not recommend that it's imported on a development system or QA system, even if the transport contains no other objects - only the SapScript form in question. Import it on a "sand-box" that gets overwritten by system copy from time to time... Once the transport is imported, you should have the old version of SapScript in that system and could analyse the changes and perform manual merge.

.exe projector file for PC works fine, but extracted .hqx for Mac won't open when on CD

I'm using Flash MX, AS 2, Projector 6, working on a PC.
I saved two versions of my project -- one .exe for Windows and one .hqx for Mac. The .exe works fine when burned onto a CD. When opening the .hqx from a CD on a Mac, I got a message that the file is on a locked volume. I discovered that the reason for this is that an .hqx is essentially a zipped file which has to be extracted, and when a file is extracted, the unzipped files are written onto the same location as the original. When the original files are on a CD, Stuffit (Mac's zip extractor program) can't write onto that location.
[So if anyone at Adobe looks at these forum posts, let me say that I think its absolutely ridiculous that the Mac version of Flash's projector files have to be extracted in order to be viewed!]
To get around this problem, I saved the .hqx on my PC, put it on a portable hard drive and brought it over to a Mac (because Stuffit for PC converts it into an .exe for PC), and unzipped it. When I'd test it on the portable hard drive or on a USB drive, the extracted file would work. When I'd bring it back over to the PC and burn a CD with both versions on it, and then test that CD on the Mac, it wouldn't work. Can anyone tell me why the extracted Mac version works on a hard drive, but not on a CD? What do I have to do in order to make a Mac projector file work from a CD?

Windows uses the FAT file system, Macs use the HFS file system. The two are not compatible. If you save a Mac projector file on a FAT file system, it won't be saved properly and it won't work. When you create a Mac projector from a Windows version of Flash, the file will be saved as a compressed .hqx file.
Since you need to use a Mac to create a hybrid CD, when you move that .hqx file to the Mac, unstuff it and then use the resulting file for the CD. It will then run from the CD as expected.

An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be...

When trying to complete the tutorial for indesign I get the following error when trying to add an article to my folio:
"An error has occurred while updating article layouts. The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found."
I am able to create the folio then I click into articles. My document "WiFi_v.indd" is open when clicking add article, but I keep getting this error message.
I am using the following versions of the software (Should be the latest).
- Folio Builder (Downloaded version Version 1.1.8.0)
reported version:
11.4.3.20111129_m672305 7.5.5.17
Adobe In Design 7.5.2 CS 5.5
Also tried reinstalling the plugins (uninstall + install)

If you're on Mac OS with the OS in another language than english the "User" folder might contain a non english character and causing problems.
I e in Sweden the Mac OS user-folder is called "Användare". When attempting uploading articles from a file locaded anywere this "Användare" is in the file path the Folio producer says Error finding InDesign layout, due to -what i think is-the "ä" in Användare. If you still want to work local you can place the InDesign files directly into the Macintosh HD. In this case the User folder is not used.

You can change in Layout

Cannot extract the setup file 10gr2_db_sol.cpio for Solaris

Hi,
I downloaded the 10gR2 setup file "10gr2_db_sol.cpio.gz" for sparc solaris 8. I extracted the .gz by gunzip. Then I tried to extract the .cpio by the command:
cpio -imdv 10gr2_db_sol.cpio
just like written in download page.
But there is no progress: neither an error, nor a response or an extracted directory occured. The command waits as if working nothing occurs.
I tried several times both on solaris and Linux.
How can extract the setup file with cpio suffix on Solaris?
thanks

Once you have extracted the file as previously stated, look for the database disk (wherever you have unpackaged it) and look for the runInstaller file. On unix environments there is no setup file.
Make sure you have already read the install requirements before proceeding with installation.

Are these files fine?Probably your files are broken because of interrupted or incomplete download.

User exit for dynamic layout determination

Hello,
I would to know user exit name for dynamic layout determination for output type of Invoice and Order confirmation.
My user exit should get fired when user press the print preview button in VF03/VA03.
Regards,
Vimal Nair

Hi
I dont' think you need a user exit, but you should manage that directly in print program.
Infact you can choose which output type has to be or not to be loaded in a document by an user exit.
But only in print program you can know if the user has choosen print or print preview.
So check in TNAPR which print program are used for orders or invoice and change them or, if they are std program, you can copy them before changing them.
After calling the sapscript (fm OPEN_FORM) or smartform you can know if user press printpreview by reading the structure of export (like ITCPP for example).

New User Question: How do I find ALL of my setting for my layout once I'm working on it?

I'd like to get screen captures of my settings for each project I do so that I have them for refference.
Thank you!!!

OK, I think you're basically on the right track, but I think converting your files to templates might be more useful than printouts. Templates contain the master pages (which is where margins and columns are typically changed from the defaults set during initial Document Setup (or they may not be changed from those defaults at all), all the styles defined for the project, and all the color swatches that have been defined, so you don't need to reinvent the wheel, only choose from among the available selections. They can also have page elements (headers and footers, page numbers, placeholder frames for standard layouts, etc.) predefined or in place.
You can make any file into a template just by saving as one (File > Save As... and choose Template from the file type dropdown), or by changing the file extension to .indt. The only functional difference between a document file and a template file is that when opened "normally" documents open as original, so you are editing the actual document, and templates open as an untitled copy, so you are editing the copy and won't accidentally change the template. You can delete essentially all the content (other than objects on a master page) from any file and save as a template and have everything you need to make a new file using the same parameters.
There are scripts available to tell you what styles are defined in a document (you can google for InDesign Style Reporter script, I think), and there may be others that will give you other parameters. There may be something like that in the Blatner Tools plugin, too. If you want one comprehensive script you may need to pay someone to custom write it for you, but it would be worth a trip to the scripting forum (InDesign Scripting) to see what is already written that might help you if you want reports.
