Graphics in smartforms

Hello,
I have a problem with smartform. I execute this smartform with a user and all is correct, but then, I execute the same smartform with another user and I get 'Graphic doesn't exist'. Anyone can help me??
Thank you,

Hi ,
Please test if both the users are in the same client . There is a possibility that the graphics which you have uploaded may not have been transported to the specific client .
Thanks and Regards,

Upload graphic in smartform

Hello All,
I am facing problem in uploading graphic in smartform. I have to upload signature and its related contact details in smartform.
I have maintained signature in z_sign_xxxx format in se78. In smartform i am taking userid of person in z_sign_xxxx variable.Now
for eg z_sign_test is stored in se78. and i have taken 'test' name in variable z_sign_xxx. so variable z_sign_xxx has value z_sign_test now. when i call graphic there i mentioned variable name under graphic name. and while executing it is taking variable name rather than actual vaue which is z_sign_test. and thats the reason i am able to fetch signature.
Please advice if anyone knows this.

Hi,
try putting name in & & in the graphic window:
&z_sign_xxx&
in such case program will put the value of your variable at runtime and try to find the following graphic from SE78.

Dynamic graphic in smartform

Hi All,
I have a requirment of displaying drawing in my smartform.But this drawing will be decided only during runtimme. I have used the third option 'DETERMINE GRAPHIC DYNAMICALLY'.I have used a variable 'bcol 'in form interface and through my driver program i am passing the name of the graphic stored in se78.Now i am passing it in the third option as '&bcol&'.
I am getting the message that 'GRAPHIC NOT FOUND'.
Please let me know that i am doing correct or i am missing something.Also is there some other way to call graphic dynamically stored in se78 in smartform.
Thanks in advance.

I think you have selected the variable for choosing between BMON and BCOL (monochrome and color graphic).
According to what you say (3000 graphics), I guess you have made a confusion.
To select dynamically the graphic name, you must first click the "triangle" button at the right of the NAME field (first line). You may not see immediately this button as it may be hidden by the graphical layout editor. Hide the editor and you will see the button.
Click this button and enter your graphic variable name (&bcol& is a weird name, instead use a name like &graphic_name&)

Dynamic graphic in smartform with exception handle.

Hi All,
I have already created a graphic node in the PO Smartform which will display the buyer signature, i have uploaded some signatures graphics to the server and used the &PO-CREATED_BY& parameter in the general attributes of the node. The signature gets displayed fine if the graphic with the buyer's username as name exist.
But what i'm looking for is: what to do if the graphic doesn't exist (the standard behavior is an error message and its not displaying the preview of the smartform). I would like to set a 'default' graphic (blank image) as the image is the user signature image doesn't exist, but i cannot find the place where i need to implement some logic to do that validation effort.
I'll appreciate your comments rewarding points for useful answers.
Regards,
Gerardo.

Hi,
Check the table: STXBITMAPS for the graphics image what yuu are looking for.
If it is existing, then write a SELECT query in code lines and store the value in a variable.
[ Declare this in the Global definition part ].
Then create a window to display the graphics image [ do not create a grpahics node] and add a ALTERNATIVE node.
Here check the work area variable and put separate graphics in the True node and in the FALSE node.
Hope this helps.

Printing graphics (via SmartForms?)

Hello,
I have problem with printing images via SmartForms. I know that I must firstly import graphics using SE78 transction and then use it in SmartForms. We would like to print small jpg images which represents rough preview of product in invoices, offers etc.
Problem is that we have tens of thousands of materials and each has a preview. All images are stored in DMS (KPro) so I thing that is inefficient to import all images again in SE78.
Does anybody know how to avoid converting all jpgs to tiffs and importing in SE78. Maybe some other printing solution than SmartForms?
Thanks a lot,
Zdenek

This is a common problem. To accomplish this you may need to resort to new BC-XDC interface which can convert non OTF/ALF output to PS/PCL and then feed to spooler, as spooler is not capable of dealing with other native formats such as images.
Another option is to use 3rd party OMS tools, or KPro/ArchiveLink mass printing solution "APS".

Graphic in Smartform

Moved to correct forum by moderator
hi there,
I have imported a colour graphic through SE78.
Now when i used it in my smartform, the image is appearing faded
after printing.
Why is it coming like that?
Edited by: Matt on Dec 1, 2008 2:16 PM

Hello,
Goto SE78 t code open the image and look at the Graphics information by following the path GRAPHICS -> GRAPHICS INFORMATION. The resolution of the graphics uploaded would be less. Try to upload another grpahics with larger resolution. You can adjust the resolution in Smartform while displaying with DPI adjustment while you add the graphics to your form..
Hope it helps,
Thanks,

Import graphics in smartforms

Hello,
I have to print fotographs on a list.
I understood that first the picture must be imported by SE78, but I have to do that in background. Therefore I wrote a little report for the import, and it works.
But the problem is that I need a BMP or TIF file to start the import, and our picturefiles are all in JPG format !
Is there any possibility to import JPG files ?
Please can someone help me ?
Regards, Carine.
Message was edited by: carine du bois

for uploading Tif files u can use program RSTXLDMC while for BMP images use Tcode SE78. Hope this works.
Moreover while uploading Tiff images make sure that these are converted from JPEG to TIFF Using Adobe Photoshop otherwise one gets error in TIFF vesion or so

SMARTFORMS printing graphics from URL

I do not find anything yet to print graphics on SMARTFORM using variable name from a url NOT via SE78 Graphics Administration Document Server.
There is solution to load SE78 Document Server via BDC but I am looking for solution where Document Server is not loaded with excessive images AND NOT solution writing over a single image there; I want it actually redirected to another url address.
I do understand that I will maintain a table having the url address AND that I can even display from SMARTFORM; I am asking for solution that actually prints the stored image.

Dear Michael,
good to see you..
I am facing the same problem for using the image from URL in SMARTFORM...
If you got solved the problem please give me the suggestions how you had done this....
Please,....
Thanks in advance,

Smartforms Graphics in mail viewing outside the network

Hi Gurus
We need to insert the company logo below the signature.
I have uploaded the image to MIME repository and it works fie withint the network
But when then mail is sent to outside the network, the image appears as red X mark because the image link is pointing towards SAP Server.
I need to embed the picture rather than attaching it through the link .. Have seen few codes but its not applicable here..
Please suggest
Thanks
Rakesh

Many thanks for your reply Sandra
I did uplaod the picture in SE78 and attached the graphic to smartforms. However I am not using PDF hence it does not get enbedded in the mail and instead sends a link to the SAP MIME repository URL.
Anyways I was able to embed the picture in the emails using the blog

What are objects in SMARTFORM?

HEllo firends,
I want to know wht are objects in SMARTFORMS. And wht is the role of golobal settings in SMARTFORM?

SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA
Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming
http://sapr3.tripod.com
TABLES: MKPF.

SELECT * FROM MKPF WHERE MBLNR IN S_MBLNR.

SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s, while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap, there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. Client dependence is a fundamental one. Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time, its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively ...
1. script is client dependent one while smartform is client independent.
2. In scripts we have to write print program while in smart forms it is not necessary.
3. In scripts we can print background logo while in smartforms we cant print background logo 4. In scripts we have 99 main windows while in smartforms we have only 1 main window.
5. In scripts we should write paragraph format otherwise we cant execute program while in smartforms no need to create paragraph formats .
6. In scripts we can print the text in only two character formats.
while in smartforms we can do with more.
7. In scripts we dont have line types while in smartforms we have linetypes.

difference between smartforms and scripts
Diff betwen Scripts & smartforms
advantages of smartforms over scripts
the main diffarences between smart form and script form are:
1) smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.
2) smart form require half the time to create and maintain forms compare with script.
3) smart forms provide multiple page formats where as in script not possible
4) smart forms exisist without main window also where as in script not possible.
5) smart form is entairely graphical user interface comapre with script.
6) labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.
7) smart form genarate function module whenver it activate where as script doesn't genarate.
8) smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare with script.
9) using smart forms we can design web forms but bot possible with script.
10) we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not possible.
11) in smart form we use transaction codes SMARTFORM for designing FORM and SMARTSTYLES to create differnt styles of text, where as in script we use SE71 for form painter and SE72 for different styles of text and font.
12) we can migrate script to smart form vice-versa is not possible.
