Graphics node in smartforms

Hi all,
Please don't mind. This is the second time I am sending question why because it is not solved yet.
I am not getting the full image of the graphic picture.
It is not the matter of size of the node or the size of the picture.
As you know the we can create a graphics node individually(without a window noe). If we insert a picture in that, it will be automatically incremented or decremented accordingly.
But I am not getting the lower portion of the picture.
Please let me know what may be the problem was.
Thanking you.

Thanks in Advance,
Thanks&Regards
Geetha

HI,
plz explain your problem in deeply.
And as per me you first create page and righ click on it
Then create window as per your requirement.
if you want to put condition ot events true or false Righ click on your window
then goto flow logic -> Altenative
You can found 2 events in Condition.
So you can assign this events.If you want to put condition or event on test then goto Text here in General Attributes in bottom side you can find even on page.
Try it.

Use of loop node in smartforms

Hi ,
Can anyone explain me in detail what is the use of the loop node in smartforms.
I want to repeat the two successor nodes alone until the loop ends .after the loop ends then only the third successor node should be executed.can we do this by using loop node. If yes please explain me how we can do this.
Thanks,
Rose.

Hi,
Yes, this is possible. Include the two nodes in the loop of the internal table. The third node should be outside the loop

Debug a particular node of SMARTFORM

Hai Fellas,
How to debug a particular node of Smartforms.
I dont want to debug it from the begining.
There is a restiction I can't add anything as the code is in Quality server.
i.e no break points can be hardcoded using program line.
Best Regards,
Suvendu.

Hi,
Just for debugging you cant write break-point statement and u cant transport,the best practice is go to smartforms ,there will be a option find the function module.Go to Se37 give the function module name,go to display mode,search for ur field or internal table or a work area,keep the break-point ,and then run the smart form ,this is way that we can debug in quality and production systems
Thanks

Create section node in smartforms

Hi,
How to create section node in smartforms.
It is very urgent pls guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Ramakrishnaiah Y

Hello there,
The complex section unites the attributes of different nodes. Before the new node types for tables, templates, and loops were introduced, you used complex sections to deal with these contructions.
Older forms still use this node; but for new forms you should prefer the new node types.
SAP Strongly recommends to use Folder, Template, Table, and Loop instead of complex section. We dont even have the option of creating section in ECC 6.
REWARD POINTS IF U FIND IT USEFUL.

Carriage Return in Text Node of SmartForm

Hello SAPients.
I'm working with a Text node in a SmartForm. I'm using "Include Text" to call an existing text. The text loads fine except that it doesn't respects the CR's.
What can I do?

Hello SAPients!
I'm still having this problem, maybe I didn't explain the problem very well and that's why I didn't get an answer. I hope this information be more helpful:
I'm working in SAP 4.6C. I have a SmartForm with a Text Node that shows "unlimited" text. I created another transaction to maintain this text in a small text editor and save the text using FM SAVE_TEXT and retrieve it using FM READ_TEXT and it shows everything correct.
In the SmartForm I'm taking advantage of the option "Include text" in the Text type of the General Attributes of the text node. The system retrieves the text in a normal way, except that the text is shown without Carriage Return, that is, all the text is show in one single line. Do you know why?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Dynamic Graphic printing in Smartforms

Hello all.
I have to print pictures from web repository (SMW0) using smartform.
I know in smartform, graphics need to be defined with name, Object and ID, that exist in from graphic repository (SE78).
Exist any way for printing any picture from other source than SE78 Dynamically?
Thank you in advance.
Ibrahim Andres

Hello Ravi....
Thanks for posting...
I understand that I can change graphic name, but it does not fit to me because my graphics are not in SE78 and in WEB repository (SMW0) , and I need to import each graphic to SE78 using one name, before calling graphic printing....
The best solution for me is that I could decide where from assign graphic, not only from SE78. But that is not possible at the moment.
thank you very much.

No blank line between address node in smartform

hi all ,
customer want to delete the blank line between address , is there a way to solve this ? i just want to use the address node.
regards
Kevin

For the paragraph format used with the ADDRESS command, indicate that you don't want blank lines.
Eg. /: ADDRESS PARAGRAPH ZD
So for this Paragraph Format 'ZD' check the checkbox 'No Blank Lines'.

Image resizing in Smartforms?? or ADOBE

Hello All,
I am working on creating a smartform. It includes displaying images in the output. There could be different
smartforms displaying the same image but with different sizes.
I know of the solution to resize the image using picture editor and upload using SE78, which is then accessed in the smartform. But I want to avoid multiple sizes of same images in the MIME repository.
Is there a possibility of image resizing in the smartform ? If yes, then how ? I have tried changing the DPI in General attributes of the graphic node in smartform but it does not resize the image.
If not, then is it possible in ADOBE forms ?

Dynamic graph in Smart Forms

Hi
I have searched the forums and noticed this question has been put forward many times but without a complete solution.
I have so far managed to use the IGS to create a .JPG/PNG file for me. I seem to have an error while trying to create a BMP file, basis is currently looking into this for me, i get a LISTENERRFC : error.
I'm using class : cl_igs_chart_engine
to generate a chart from the IGS, this is returned to me in a MIME table format.
Now how can I use this MIME table to insert it dynamically in the SMARTFORM. I see there is provision for Dynamic determined graphics in smart forms but i don't think it can be used here.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Is there any other more effective way of inserting dynamic graphs into SAMRTFORMS
Another question is class : cl_igs_chart_engine, how can you create a line graph instead of a bar graph ?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Dynamic graphic in samrtform is supported provided you have the BMAP ( Bitmap ) created in SAP. In the graphics node of SMARTFORM you can assign a variable &GRAPHIC& as the name. From the program pass the graphic name in variable "GRAPHIC" through samrtform interface .
The prerequisite is that the graphics should be there in SAP database at the time you call smartform .
About your other question I have no idea but I can say that if you can have a graphics created on your PC at runtime you can always upload it to SAP using report RSTXLDMC , just before calling smartform. However this would generate a lot of graphics on SAP even if it is for one time use by smartform . You will have to find a way to delete subsequently .
Cheers

Color graphic in a PDF generated from a SmartForm causes error

I have a SmartForm containing a color graphic. It works correctly,
appears just the way it should in Print Preview, and it prints
correctly. However, when I generate a PDF file from, Adobe Reader
complains that the PDF file is corrupt and refuses to print it. If I
remove the color graphic from the SmartForm and don't make any other
changes, I get a good PDF file that can be parsed, displayed, and
printed without any problems.
Why is the presence of the color graphic in the SmartForm leading to a
corrupt PDF file? Is there any workaround (short of removing the color
graphic) that I can use to get a good PDF file?
Here is a more detailed description of what I am doing.
1.     Creating the color graphic
     A. I started with a color .TIF file
     B. I went to transaction SE78,
        Form Graphics -> Stored on Document Server ->
          GRAPHICS General Graphics -> BMAP Bitmap Images
     C. Clicked on the "Import" icon
     D. In the "File name" field, navigated to my .TIF file
     E. Typed the name of my graphic in the "Name" field and some
        descriptive text in the "Description" field
     F. Selected the "Color Bitmap Image" radio button
     G. Set the "Print Attributes" as follows:
        Unchecked - Resides in the Printer Memory
        Checked   - Reserve Height Automatically
        Unchecked - Compression
     H. The color graphic seems to upload correctly
     I. When I click on Print Preview, it is displayed perfectly.
     J. When I use the Search Help associated with the name field to
        find the graphic, it is shown with the name and description
        that I gave it, the Object field is displayed as "GRAPHICS",
        the ID field is displayed as "BMAP".
     K. When I select Graphic -> Graphic Information, the Resolution is
        75 DPI and the Size is 26.86 x 8.26 cm. When I use this graphic
        in the SmartForm, I will enter the resolution as 300 DPI - in
        order to get an image whose dimensions are one-quarter of these
        dimensions, but which will have a good resolution for a laser
        printer.
2.     The use of the color graphic in the SmartForm
     A. It is a "Graphic" node which is the first node on the first
        (and only) page of the SmartForm.
        i.   The Name is the name of the graphic I created
        ii. Object = "GRAPHICS"
        iii. ID = "BMAP"
        iv. The "Color Bitmap Image (BCOL)" radio button is selected
        v.   The Resolution = 300 DPI
     B. The position and size are:
        i.   Left Margin = 15.00 MM
        ii. Width = 69.00 MM
        iii. Upper margin = 15.00 MM
        iv. Height = 21.77 MM
3.     The process of producing the PDF file
     A. The function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME is called to obtain the
        name of the function module associated with the SmartForm.
     B. The function module (whose name was returned by
        SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME) is called with:
        i.   CONTROL_PARAMETERS = a SSFCTRLOP structure with
             GETOTF = 'X'
             NO_OPEN = space
             NO_CLOSE = space
             NO_DIALOG = 'X'
        ii. OUTPUT_OPTIONS = a SSFCOMOP structure with:
             TDPRINTER = 'POST2'
             TDDEST = space
             TDNEWID = 'X'
             TDIMMED = 'X'
             TDDELETE = space
             TDCOVER = space
             TDCOPOES = 1
       iii. JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = a structure of type SSFCRESCL used to
             receive the OTF file
     C. The function CONVERT_OTF is called with:
        i.   FORMAT parameter = 'PDF'
        ii. OTF table parameter = the OTFDATA table contained within
             the JOB_OUTPUT_INFO SSFCRESCL structure returned from the
             SmartForm function module.
        iii. BIN_FILE parameter = an XSTRING used to receive the PDF
             file
        iv. BIN_FILESIZE parameter = an integer used to receive the
             size of the PDF file.

Hello David,
The reason for this problem is probably related to the FlateDecode compression described in SAP Note 843480 (PDF conversion: Compression of bitmaps and TrueType fonts).
Try switching off the usage of FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480.
It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this run as follows:
   se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field
         -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this create a new PDF and check if the problem is resovled.
Regards,
Aidan
