How to find the text id & object name to be used with read_text ?

Hi All
how to determine the text id & object name associated with PO to be used with FM read_text ?
Regards
Jaman

Hi,
For PO there will be Header Texts and Item texts.
For header texts just Take the PO number as TDNAME.
for Item texts Conactenate the PO number and Item Number and use as TDNAME.
in ME23N Go to any text.Double click on it
It will take you to text editor.
GOTO-> header
it will display the TEXT ID,TEXTNAME,LANG and TEXT OBJECT etc
Similarly for every text you will find and use;

How can I find text-item description and content in database?

I make "Actual news" region with text and simple image items.
With "Custom Search" autoquery I make news portlet with 10 latest news.
But I will make with PDK-Java discussion portlet, in which users can read and write about last published (last created text item display name and content) news.
My questions:
- How can I find text-item description and content in database?
- How I can sort text-items to find latest created in my region?
I have Portal R2
Thanks in advance.
Cheslav

I am sorry. The following are the related tables.
WWV_TEXT
WWV_TEXT_BLOCKS
WWV_TEXT_BLOCK_USAGES
WWV_USER_TEXT_BLOCKS
WWV_USER_TEXT_BLOCKS$
WWV_USER_TEXT_BLOCK_USAGES
WWV_USER_TEXT_BLOCK_USAGES$
May be you want to browse WWV_TEXT which is the core table.

Find text and replace with a pdf stored in the same folder

Hello,
I have a catalog that is updated every so often. I have written a script to find/replace the text from a .txt file. but i have a pdf that i want to insert that is part of it as well. Inside the .txt file i have the name of the document. and the pdf is stored inside the same folder as the original .indd and the .txt file.
can someone point me at some examples on how this could be done.
Thanks

I use this script: it puts a txt in a text frame, check the overflow and find/replace some words with a pdf. Hope this is helpful.

Find texts in SO10 without knowing the ID's

Hi,
I have a text on my order confirmation layout that needs to be changed.
I can't determine which text name or text id it is because it's a very complex program.
is there a way that you can search the texts that are entered in SO10?
-> in a certain table maybe?
Because I found already parts of my order confirmation, but not the texts that I need...
Thanks,
Joke

READ_TEXT has four inputs, as I recall, that are of importance...well, three if you're in a single language installation....
there's the name, which is often a document number or a combination of document/item, etc.
There's the object which tells us what kind of text we have...and so forth....
If you put a breakpoint and stop there in debug, look at the values that are being passed to the read_text function module...
Those will be the key to finding the text object.... if you want to see the text, test function module READ_TEXT with those values....
But, honestly, if it's standard text, you know what to look for already. If not, check for ID is 'ST', SPRAS = sy-langu, OBJECT = 'TEXT'...you just need to find the NAME value....
If it's boiler plate, and it sounds like it is from your original post, you will be able to find within standard text, since that's really what standard text is for.... There is, of course, a possibility that you would have text built in SO10 that are not of the OBJECT and ID named above.

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly)

Finding text in a PDF using preview has stopped working (correctly).
When I search for certain words in a PDF using preview, it correctly finds all the pages in the document with that word. However, it no longer highlights the word being searched for. I have looked through the various settings and cannot figure out how to turn this back on.
Thanks.

4Shared worked, but having to register to retrieve files from there is a nuisance.
The problem is that you use special graphic state operators inside text objects which is not allowed:

Have a look at the PDF specification ISO 32000-1:2008 (e.g. at http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf). Table 51 shows that q, Q, and cm are special graphics state operators, and Figure 9 illustrates that these operators, therefore, are not allowed in text objects, i.e. between BT and ET.

AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

[AS][CS3] Finding text with character style

Please help to tell me how to find text with a specific character style and then delete the text.
I had no problem doing this with CS2 but its doing my head in now.
Thanks,
Andrew

Here you go. This assumes that your character style is at the top level of the panel. If you're using style groups, you'll need to write code to get at the style you want to use.
//DESCRIPTION: Delete text in named character style
(function() {
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
    deleteStyledText(app.documents[0]);
function deleteStyledText(aDoc) {
    var cStyle = aDoc.characterStyles.item("CharStyleName");
    setupFindText();
    app.findTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = cStyle;
    aDoc.changeText();
function setupFindText(find, change, wholeWd, caseSense, foots, hidLayers, lockedLayers, lockedStories, masters) {
    app.findTextPreferences = null;
    app.changeTextPreferences = null;
    try { app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = find } catch(e) {};
    try {app.changeTextPreferences.changeTo = change } catch(e) {};
    app.findChangeTextOptions.properties = {
      caseSensitive:(caseSense == null ? false : caseSense),
      wholeWord:(wholeWd == null ? false : wholeWd),
      includeFootnotes:(foots == null ? false : foots),
      includeHiddenLayers:(hidLayers == null ? false : hidLayers),
      includeLockedLayersForFind:(lockedLayers == null ? false : lockedLayers),
      includeLockedStoriesForFind:(lockedStories == null ? false : lockedStories),
      includeMasterPages:(masters == null ? false : masters)
} // end setupFindText

Read the text in object LFA1 with ID Z001

Hi Guys,
Can u please suggest me how can i read the text in object LFA1 with ID Z001.
Actually my requirement is i have service agent in my internal table.
Z002 is the current pro number..that is ready to use after using that update that current pro # Z002 with the next available in the range...(i.e Z001)
Z001 contains range of Pro number.,. like 848 477 250 to 848 477 740
asume you used the # 848 477 250 in one shipment, update the Z002 with the second one 848 477 251
Can u please suggest me this how can i develop. Just send me the suggestions plese i will do that coding. Lookingforward your kind co operation.
Regards,
Ravi

Basic call to function is as follows:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
    id                            = 'Z001'    "Text ID = 'Z001'
    language                      = 'E'       "English
    name                          = 'LFA1'    " Not sure if this is correct
    object                        = l_vendor "Vendor with leading zeros
TABLES
    lines                         = l_output   "Table of Structure TLINE
EXCEPTIONS
   ID                            = 1
   LANGUAGE                      = 2
   NAME                          = 3
   NOT_FOUND                     = 4
   OBJECT                        = 5
   REFERENCE_CHECK               = 6
   WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE       = 7
   OTHERS                        = 8.
I am not sure I have the name and object exactly right - If you display one of the texts in the old style editor and use menu option Goto-->Header you can see these values. Alternatively look in table STXH for text headers to see how the key is constructed.

Blurry/Scrambled Finder text & buttons

Here's a screenshot of my issue that's been going on for 2 years now (copy-past this URL into another window):
http://www.use.com/Blurry_finder_text_7e7bfe597ea1c28b949a
This has happened on two different MacBook Pros. I've done everything from a full-wipe & clean install. Had the hardware tested at the Apple Store. Tried various GPU settings (Better Performance vs. Engery Saving in Preferences)... you name it, this still keeps happening.
It doesn't happen all the time and there's absolutely no ryhme or reason as to what causes it. Thought it might be due to heating (like when Final Cut does a render) but sometimes it starts up even after being idle for a while.
Logging out or forcing any kind of full-screen refresh clears the issue, but eventually it will come back.
The Genius Bar suggests this is a FONT issue caused by an application that's been loaded. Problem is, I can't figure out a way to suss out which application could be the culprit. And I'm not 100% buying into that explanation since all apps I have are specifically written for Snow Leopard - or higher.
Anyone seen this problem and have a solution?

Unfortunately this didn't end up being a complete fix. I think it's a software bug in OSX 10.6 and earlier.
I recently migrated to Mountain Lion and so far I have not seen this blurry icon/finder text issue yet. Could be with the new code in 10.8 they addressed that issue.
I'm not 100% convinced that upgrading to ML was the fix but will update the forum after the holidays if in fact things remain stable.

Can't find text in distilled file, using some fonts

The products I have are Mac OS 10.6.8, Acrobat X and 9, and Word 2011 and Apple Pages for Mac; Acrobat 9 and Word 2007 for Windows XP.
There are numerous ways to create PDFs on both platforms, whether through save as or creating a PostScript file and distilling it. The problem is that with docs I have using Calibri, Cambria, and Candara, if I distill a PostScript file made from Mac Word or Pages, neither Acrobat nor Apple Preview can find text in the resulting PDF, whether the file distilled with Mac or Windows Distiller. (Meaning a "find" for a string comes up as not found.) All other combinations are okay, even writing a PS file in Windows Word and distilling with Mac Distiller.
I mention the fonts specifically because most of the time I use OTF faces, which always work. I even tried using the Windows TTF versions in the Mac operating system -- same failure.
And even if I force these fonts to be embedded in the Distiller job options, still no joy. If I take so much as a comma and set it to an OTF, I can find the comma. Also, Acrobat *can* find Arial text in a Visio flowchart placed in the Word doc. I don't know how the author placed it there, but it's probably copy from Visio, paste into Word.
The reason why I care about this is because the distilled PFDs are just a tiny bit better looking on the screen than other options, such as "Save as PDF" from the Mac OS Print dialogue. The only other one that looks as good is the Create PDF button in Windows Word, but I would rather not have to use Windows just to get a better-looking PDF.
So to summarize:
Mac app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = fail
Mac app > write PS file > Win Distiller = fail
Win app > write PS file > Mac Distiller = okay
Win app > write PS file > Win Distiller = okay
Mac app > save as PDF directly > okay
This might not be a problem with Distiller per se; it could be the Mac OS engine that creates the PS files. You see, I had heard that Apple used their own internally developed engine for the options to save PDF files directly, but was using Adobe code when one used the option to write a PostScript file, so that's why I'm so surprised and disappointed it fails.

Hmmm. In what way are Distilled PDFs "a tiny bit better looking on screen" than those made by OS X?
You are viewing both in the same app and platform?
And you're referring to font display?
What settings are you using in Distiller which you think might have some bearing on this?

OS X's native graphics drawing environment, Quartz, is essentially a "Display PDF", so creating a PDF file is a very simple procedure.
Writing PostScript for printing uses Apple's own cgpdftops CUPS filter. I doubt there is any "Adobe code" as such, and I dispute the implication that "Apple code == bad; Adobe code == good", which you seem to suggest.
The specifications for PDF and PostScript are clearly documented, and it should be easy for anyone to follow them.
However, the fact remains that when Apple converts these MS fonts to PS, something goes wrong. It may be a bug in Apple's code; or it may be that Apple it strictly interpreting font data which MS is playing fast and loose with. Windows' own PS export would no doubt be designed to work with the looser implementation in MS's fonts. This is just hypothetical of course, though is in keeping with tradition.
What you could do is use a decent text editor like TextWrangler (free from BareBones software) to compare the PostScript code from Windows and OS X.
You could also look a the Properties tab in Acrobat of the PDFs, and compare the font encoding.
You could also test running out PostScript from any other app on OS X that you have using those fonts.
However, I think it is unlikely that you will see resolution unless MS releases a new version of their fonts, or some new version of OS X makes an amendment to fix the bug or cater for the MS issue. Perhaps Lion will do this; perhaps it won't.
Are you using the versions of these fonts that came with Office 2011 for Mac? What happens if you use the Windows versions of the fonts on OS X?

You mean, you are trying to search text in a PDF file, and you can do it in Reader 9 but not in later versions of Reader (using the same file)?
