Question regarding Graphics - Print Forms

Hi,
This is a print forms question. We are on ECC 5.0, basis release 640
Currently, for all our SAPscripts, we have our graphics as TIF files stored as text modules.
For our Smartforms, we loaded BMP files to the BDS using transaction SE78.
Adobe brings up the exciting possibility of using smaller sized JPG/JPEG files.
The only place I can think of storing the JPEG files in the SAP system is the MIME Repository. Looks like SE78 does not support JPEG files.
Here's my requirement and question.
In the mime repository, I created folder 'LOGOS' in SAP/PUBLIC. So, the path would be /SAP/PUBLIC/LOGOS
The names of the files in the mime repository are 'LOGO_A' and 'LOGO_B'.
We need to print the company logo based on company code.
If company code is 'A' then 'LOGO_A' else, 'LOGO_B'.
We are reluctant to read the graphic in the ABAP program and pass the whole content through the Interface.
I cannot embed the graphic in the form since the LOGO will change based on company code.
Since we can use an url for an image field in Adobe forms, how can I point the url to the mime repository?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best regards,
-Ramesh

Thanks Markus.
By what you said, I am inferring that you mean access to load the graphic files to the Mime Repository.
My question is to read the Mime repository since users of bsp applications can still see the LOGOs in their bsp pages (I think. Never did BSP before).
Here is what I am doing currently.
Here's my interface:
LOGO_DATA TYPE XSTRING.
In my driver program, I am reading the Mime Repository graphic into an XSTRING and passing it through the interface to the LOGO_DATA field.
I created a Graphic in the Context and set it to 'Graphic Content'.
I am setting the 'Field' property to LOGO_DATA and MIME Type to 'image/jpeg'
Now,
Instead of reading and sending the whole binary content across through the function call, I am looking to see if the following would be possible:
Interface:
LOGO_URL TYPE STRING
In the driver program, assign the URL of the Graphic to field LOGO_URL (Don't know how yet).
In the context, create a Graphic and set it to 'Graphic Reference'
In the URL property, set the Graphic URL property to LOGO_URL field and then clear out the delimiter field.
If it is not possible with the Mime Repository, will it be possible with the Business Document Server (Transaction SE78).
Thank you.
Best regards,
-Ramesh

Installing and Configuring Adobe Document Services For Print Forms

Hi,
I want to use Adobe Document Services,for Print Forms Scenario,on ABAP side.
I installed the Adobe document Services following the steps in the Installation Guide.I obtained the Credentials file and supplied it during installation.
Then i followed the steps in the configuration Guide,except for the SSL connection part, as i have chosen Basic Authentication .
The Web Service is running and on opening the home page,when i test the method rpData,it asks for Username and password,when i supply my username password it says, user does not have rights to method rpData.
I even tried using J2ee Admin rights,user with SAP_ALL rights, and ADS_AGENT.
When i test the service from ABAP side,using the RFC destination i created on Client 400,from where i want to use it, the test shows status code OK.
When i test a form through transaction SFP,it asks for USERNAME and password,which i tried as my USERID,ADMIN ID with SAP_ALL rights, even with the users i created during Configuration like ADS_AGENT, ADSUser etc.
Our J2ee Engine is installed on Client 200,i installed the ADS on Client 200 and created the users ADS_AGENt(service user with role SAP_BC_FP_ICF) and ADSuser on Client 200.
I also activated the ICF services and created the destination for the destination service using Visual Administrator.
My Issues:
1)To test the Webservice,what USER ID password needs to be supplied?Do i need some Special role or rights?
2)During Configuration ,when i create a USer in SAP Web AS ABAP for Basic Authetication,after creating ADSCallers Role and assigning to ADSUSer ,in Visual Administrator,after selecting com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices*AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar ,under ADSCallers,i ama ble to see the both the users ADSUser(user in j2ee Engine for basic authentication ), and ADSUSER (user type system in ABAP),are visible,
When try to add ADSUSEr by choosing ADD,from USER Tree , it doesn't do so.So i Added the ADScallers group instead,thus indirectly both users added.Can this be a Problem?
3)What else do i need to do?Am i missing something?
Please help.
Regards,
Siddhartha

Hi all,
I am having an issue in which my ecc could not use properly the ADS on the EP.
I could properly execute FP_PDF_TEST_00 from se38 transaction which gives the correct version no of ADS. Also I am able to get the correct version no by giving username and password at http://<J2EE_host>:<J2EE_port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config which seems like the ADS is working properly in EP.
However when the abaper is trying to run his form using spf like ZFORM_VENDOR it is showing error like
" Error during activation Message no. EU837 "
Can you please shed some light on what all steps I need to check to ensure that ADS is working properly ?

Performance Problem with Adobe Print Forms (Non-Interactive)

Hi Team,
I have a Web Dynpro ABAP application with a print button which actually launces an Adibe print form (NOT Interactive) for the WDA data context. The scenario is for a Purchase Order in the ERP system. The problem is regarding performance when the line items are more then 150. The Adobe form is very simple WITH NO scripting and a plain tabular display of the line items. It takes around 4 minutes to load the form which has only 5 pages and is causing the WDA application to time out. Following are the configuration/Design details:
ADS Version: 705.20060620101936.310918
Adobe Reader 7.0, Version 7.0.9
Adobe Live Cycle Designer 7.1, Version 7.1.3284.1.338866
FORM Element in WDA:
displayType = activeX (Should this be native for performance improvements?)
"enabled" is not checked
readOnly = 'X'
SFP Settings for the template Form
Layout Type in Properties = Standard Layout (Should this be xACF or ZCI for performance improvements?
Interface type for the Form Interface = XML Schema-Based Interface
We are on 2004s release SP10
Specific Questions:
1) Any recommendations for the above settings to improve performance?
2) The form design is very simple with no complexity. The Table element is very basic and as per the blogs given in SDN. NO Scripting is performed.
Any help, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi Sanjay,
i would suggest you to have ZCI layout (native).
Set the form properties to be cached on server (refer performance improvements in the Adobe LC Designer help).
The performance will also depend on the ADS and also the network, including the R/3, as all these components come into picture.
Hope these points, if you have not checked already, will help you.

RE: prob with line item text in PO print form

Hi All,
Problem with SAPscript
I have A problem with PO pronting form. In the PO craetion(me23n), IF we mention certain text in last line item the PO printing form is behaving uncertanly.
If the text limit to a particular line is mentioned , then PO printing in only first Page and otherpage is not printing where further data is supposed to print.
If we exceed the limt , its again printing correctly in 2 pages with all the data. If we decrese the limit aslo printing fine.
My problem is , I could not understand exactly where the problem is coming. while debugging Befor the text apperas in form I have an inlcue like this form.
INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID& LANGUAGE &EKKO-SPRAS& PARAGRAPH IX.
IS the prob exist here?
Please help me out?
Edited by: shruthi puttoju on Jul 24, 2009 9:01 AM

Hi,
Header Long texts will be different from Line items long text, i think you are passing the long text for line items, so check how the long text is coming in debugger of the sapscript for each line item.
Look at the Text Element ITEM_TEXT in the Main window of the sapscript. It has the INCLUDE which holds the text you are talking.
INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID& LANGUAGE &

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms myself, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

Printing Form Header Text in Smartforms

Hi,
I have created smartform for SD module.I am printing Form header text in a window by using loop.I am getting the text with the help of READ_TEXT function module.It comes as we type in Form header.But the problem is if they type more than 15 lines it is not printing.I want to print the rest of the lines in next page.How to do this?

Hi,
In smartforms, only the main window is a dynamically varying one.
So give your include text concept in the main window..
so that if your text increases more than a page, it will be printed in the next line..
You can maintain your text in so10 transaction.. with text id and text name..
using include text u can simply give the Id and text name in forms, you will get the enetered text.

Text Object Error in Pdf based print forms

Hello Friends,
I am trying to include a text object in Adobe PDF-based print form.
In the context, I have created a node for the text. I chose the Text Type as Include Text. I am able to choose the required Text Object and Text ID from the respective search helps. When trying to activate the form, I am getting an error saying that I did not specify a text name. I tried to rectify this error but could not do so.
Please help me out on how to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for useful answers.
Thanks,
John.

There is no need of activation for standard text... save will do...
Also note: standard text is client dependent... you need to attach to your transport request manually to move between clients...
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Print Forms Central form by user?

I created an online form using Forms Central. I would like to have my users be able to print their form out for their records but it seems there is no way to do this using Forms Central. Seems like there should be a "Print Form" button that could be placed near the submit button. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for you help.

Issue in Print Form

Hi,
I have created a print form using Adobe LiveCycle designer 7.1 on SAP ECC 6.0 version. The requirement is to mask first 5 characters of a text field (SSN) on the form while displaying but when printed it should print whole SSN.I have used Javascript option to run at client. In the initialize event, I am changing the value(rawValue) to the masked one(for eg. XXXXX9999).In the prePrint event I am passing the correct value of SSN and again in the postPrint event I am changing the value of SSN to the masked one.The form type is set to Print form and Dynamic PDF.I have created a custom program in SAP to creae PDF and download on to the local machine.
Now the issue is...
1)When I opened the downloaded PDF and pressed the print button, the whole document goes blank. This is happening in Adobe Reader 7.0.9.
2) It works as expected with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 but when I close the document it gives error message like - instruction 0XX.. could not be written to memory.
I have also tried to hide to set the presence attribute to "visible" in prePrint event and to "invisible" in postPrint event instead of changing the value of the field but same issue is happening with Adobe Reader version 7.0.9.
I need this to work on any version(7.x or 8.x) of Adobe Reader. Please help.
Thanks,
Raghu

Dear,
print preview and physical printout are two different things.
PrintPreview:
The data stream will be sent to the frontend and rendered with windows-fonts etc (for backend prints a simulation).
Printout:
Frontend: You need a printer, that maps the character, you have to use SAPWIN or SAPWINCF when using cascading fonts. The rendering will be done in the windows spooler.
Backend: Your printer needs also a mapping (look like something with UTF8). Also the printer needs the fonts installed because the rendering will be done in the printer!
If you use the pdf-printer in SAP, you need to upload all necessary fonts (TTF) for the pdf-composer. Also you need a unicode pdf printer for that.

Christian

How send a Print Form as attachment PDF?

Hi everybody,
I have created an Interactive Forms where I can input any new data.
When I click on the button for save the new data, I must also convert my Interactive Form in PDF for send it as attachment to email. When I have groped to convert the interactive form in a PDF file, I lost the data that I have inserted.
So I have created a Print Form through transaction SFP.
I recall the print form in background mode and gets the form of Interactive Data and requiring as import table OTF, but the OTF table is returned to me is different from that of a smartform and so I can not use the function module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019.
Carryover in the code, you know give me directions?
With the code I'm used to create the PDF file and attach it to email, but the files that I receive by email can not I open it, probably because of an error in formatting during its creation.
I look forward to your advice,

Printing form fields only on Reader

Before I get to the meat, a little background. We are in the process of converting all of our forms into PDFs so to keep everything the same across the company. My company is a contract packager, and we ship out many items. We have purchased forms for Bills of Lading and Packing slips that have duplicate copies for the back.
We would like to be able to scan the form into the computer, and create a PDF with text fields to type in the information, but then only print the form field data. Basically, I want the form to show up on the computer screen but only print the data that's entered. With Acrobat, I can select in the printer box to print form fields only, but when I put the form on the system and tried it on a computer that only has Reader it doesn't give me the option of printing the fields only. (I'm the only computer that has and uses Acrobat).
I'm not a programmer of any sorts, but is there a way to have Reader do what I want it to?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Bret

Hello Eveyone
My solution for this is simple
In Adobe Pro, go to menu bar in:
Documente-->
Backgroup-->
Add and Replace or Update
in Apperance select
Apperance Options
remove the check for "SHOW WHEN PRINTING"
This solved the problem to print forms with background in your company.
GOOD LUCK
