How to configure PDF output

Is it possible to change the style and look of a generated PDF file from RoboHelp?

Hi,
I'm not using DITA maps, but I create printed documentation (pdf) from RoboHelp HTML. My previous post had nothing to do with RoboHelp for Word, sorry for the misconception. You create a word document or a pdf whenever you output printed documentation.
To create a pdf, I output printed documentation. As far as I know, RoboHelp always makes a Word document which it then converts to pdf. I just don't let RoboHelp generate the PDF so I can still change the Word document. In the printed documentation screen, deselect Generate Adobe PDF and select Generate Word doc. Just modify the word document and then create a pdf out of that.
Greets,
Willam

    Hi
    Idoc Def :Standard SAP format for electronic data interchange between systems (Intermediate Document). Different message types (such as delivery confirmations or purchase orders) normally represent different specific formats, the IDoc types. However, multiple message types with related content can be assigned to one IDoc type: For example, the IDoc type ORDERS01 transfers the "logical" message types ORDERS (purchase order) and ORDRSP (order confirmation).
    Idocs are of two types basic type and the extension type .we need to configure the system settings for this process .
    IDOC (Intermediate Document) - A data holder.
    IDOC is divided in to three parts.
    Control Record
    Data Record
    Status Record
    Control record (Table: EDIDC):
    - Every IDOC has only one Control Record
    - Each Control Record contains header information like:
    o IDOC Number
    o Direction of IDOC: Inbound or Outbound
    o Date and Time of creation of IDOC
    o Date and time when the IDOC was last modified.
    o Message Type of IDOC
    o IDOC type and extension of IDOC
    o Sender and Receiver Partner
    Data record – (Table: EDID4):
    - Data Record contains Data to be processed.
    - Every IDOC has one data record with multiple segments in hierarchy.
    - Segments and Hierarchy of Segments are defined by IDOC Type and Extension.
    - IDOC created has to strictly follow the hierarchy; else IDOC fails with Syntax error.
    - Segments which are repetitive have qualifiers attached to it
    Status record – (Table: EDIDS):
    - Status Record describes the status of IDOC.
    - Each IDOC contains one status Record with multiple status information.
    - Status at each level is appended to IDOC. E.g. When IDOC is created in SAP, Status is “This IDoc has been generated through a test transaction”, When the IDOC is added to system it is “IDOC added”, “IDOC ready to be transferred to Application”……
    - Status should always be read bottom-up. Status at the top is the latest status.
    - Some Example of Status Records:
    o Inbound:
    § 53 - IDOC successfully posted
    § 51 – IDOC Failed
    § 64 - IDOC ready to be transferred to Application
    o
    Outbound:
    § 30 – IDOC ready for Dispatch
    § 03 – IDOC passed to port OK
    § 12 – IDOC Dispatched
    § 16 – Functional Acknowledgement Positive
    § 17 – functional Acknowledgement Negative
    IDoc Type: Defines the segments and hierarchy of segments
    o Transaction Code:
    § WE30 – To create, change or display the IDOC type and the extension.
    § WE31 – To create the Segment
    - IDOC type defines the segments to be used in the IDOC.
    - It also defines the hierarchy and syntax of the segments.
    - IDOC extension is nothing but to add segments to standard IDOC types.
    - Transaction WE31 allows you to create segments.
    - Program RSEIDOC3 documents the use of each IDOC type.
    Segments:
    Attributes of a Segment:
    - Mandatory Segment: If checked, this segment should always exist in the IDOC.
    - Minimum Number:
    - Maximum Number: Maximum number of times this segment can be repeated in IDOC. -
    Parent Segment: Parent of this segment
    - Hierarchy level: Level of hierarchy.
    Segment Definition (WE31):
    Messsage Type: Defines the type of data in the IDOC
    o Transaction Code:
    § WE81 – To create, change or display the Message type and the extension.
    § WE82 – Using this transaction you can link Message Type, IDOC Type, IDOC Extension and version.
    - Message type identifies the type of data IDOC holds. E.g. Orders (ORDERS), Delivery (DESADV), Invoice (INVOICE). It also defines what needs to be done with the data in the IDOC, in case of Inbound IDOC, and which data to be extracted in case of Outbound IDOC.
    - Message Type is linked to a process code, which in turn is linked to a Function Module. This function module extracts from or posts data to SAP depending on direction of IDOC.
    - Relation between Message Type, IDOC type and IDOC extension needs to define. Without this relation Message type or IDOC type cannot be used.
    Message Type Create, Change or Display (WE81):
    Setup link between Message Type, IDOC Type, IDOC Extension and Version (WE82)
    Process Code: Function Module is linked to a process code. This function module in executed for inbound or outbound IDOC.
    o Transaction Codes:
    § WE41 – Outbound Process Code
    § WE42 – Inbound Process Code
    - Process codes are linked to a Function Module.
    - Relationship is Message Type is linked to a Process Code which is linked to a Function Module.
    - In case if you are using a stand alone code to trigger an IDOC, you need not define a process code.
    RFC Destination: System definition of destination.
    o Transaction Code: SM59
    - RFC destination identifies the destination of IDOC.
    - In case of ALE:
    o In ALE the communication mode is IDOC to IDOC, hence the type used is R/3 Connections.
    o It is the destination SAP system which will receive the IDOC.
    o In RFC destination you define the destination SAP system details like System, Login and Password.

    Hi Vishnu,
    I read the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM documentation, if I am trying to download binary type of file, It is mandatory to pass file size.
    In my case, since I am having PDF file, so i don't no how to get the size of the pdf file.
    As you said, if i use Convert_OTF FM, i don't have data to pass to the OTF and LINES tables.
    I am having values of PDF in xstring format in ls_output1-pdf, which i got using the below FM.

    Kindly tell me what values i need to pass to the FM you mentioned in order to get the size of the file.
    Thanks & Regards,

    But still I am not sure, how the pdf output is coming for single input whereas if i give in a range, its failing. In single input, i am not giving binary file size still the output is coming.. but for range its not. Kindly help me out in this.

  • How to save pdf output

    Hi to all,
    I have just created a new report with xml publisher and I have associated the execution to a concurrent.
    When I see the output of my concurrent, I see the correct report.
    Now, I need to save the output of this concurrent from pl/sql, without open the concurrent.
    I'm new of xml publisher.
    Do you know how can I solve my problem?
    Thanks

    PDF File is saved on the Concurrent Manager tier as $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/{REPORTNAME}_{REQUEST_ID}_{COUNT}.PDF
    See this post:
    http://garethroberts.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-do-i-get-xml-file-or-request.html

  • Urgent: How to break pdf output file in multiple pdf files without bursting

    Hi all,
    I am developing a rtf template which will take a xml file which contains data for many employees. Now the requirement is to create a individual pdf file for each user. I know that it can be done through Oracle bi publisher's interface through bursting but we don't have that option. We have to do it at template level.
    Right now my template produces report for multiple employees on a new page.
    <?for-each-group@section:row;./USERS_SYS_ID?><?split-by-page-break:?>
    <?end for-each-group?>
    Is there any method like <?split-by-file-break:?> by which each employee report can be started in a new output file.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Thanks, George!
    I will try your suggestion.
    While waiting for a response, I ran into another problem:
    Some of the PDF documents I am to work from are "protected," meaning I can read them but not extract any pages or click to add them to a list of files to import...but I need to extract some or all pages from it.  Any suggestions on this?
    Thanks!

  • How to configure Output Directory at Jobs

    Allo.
    I am quite new in IR eventhough I played with FR for months already.
    I need to set a BQY job to run every morning and inside the job has multicycle things. One of it is to export the processed BQY into my drive D:\\InterativeReporting\. Now, I manage to go through until the job parameter -> modify cycle -> process option and the last page shows me to use Output Directory.
    From the docs I know that this Output Directory need to be configure manually but it's not written in any docs!
    So, I had done;
    1. checked the documentation of HBI (hs_user.pdf, hs_admin.pdf)
    2. checked IR users docs
    3. Checked FR & Prod Reporting docs
    4. hoping it will work like FR with it's external directory where we need to change a bit at the scheduler.properties and go through all .properties under BIPlus/Lib/
    5. sacrifice my fried chicken lunch to nearby kitten
    Does anybody knows how to configure the output directory? Please let me know. I can't afford to keep sacrificing my lunch..
    Thanks!
    Daniel.

    Hi Guys,
    Yeah, I found it at the Developer Guide and follow the direction there. Spent entire morning to try it and it works!
    However, it should have been faster using the Physical Resources feature available at Workspace! But I got good lessons there with java -after numerous hair pulling experience and all zoo words shouting. LOL.

  • How to install PDF with XDB on APEX 4.2.2

    Hi,
    does anyone know a "how to install PDF Output" using XDB instead of Apache or APEX Listener on APEX 4.2.2 Please give me the link.
    I tried to install APEX Listener but I always got errors so I came back to XDB. If there is an easy way to install the Listener please send me the link.
    Thank you and best regards
    Siegwin

    i wrote an article about installing listener but then the latest version of listener at time was 1.x . check the following
    Vishal's blog: Installing SSL enabled APEX 4.1 with development environment and APEX Listener on Weblogic and standalone
    listener now is at 2.x and a few steps such as configuration of properties have changed. you no longer have to create users such as adminlistener and the listenerAdmin page isnt there anymore.
    read the above and tell me the exact problem you have and i might help you better.
    read Contents . this is oracle's documentation for listener configuration. this is good. let me know if you need some help in understanding some step in this
    once listener is configured, configuring it for pdf download is very easy.
    let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

    Somebody once asked how to create PDF output with javadoc, so here's some work in progress:
    I am currently creating a PDF doclet which creates directly PDF output from javadoc. It's still in alpha stage, because it does not yet create an index or navigation frame (which is mandatory for the PDF to be useful), and most HTML tags are not yet interpreted. But that's gonna improve over the next few weeks.

    How to configure a standard SmartForm to be sent by e-mail in PDF format
    We need to use standard SAP configuration to send e-mails (output type Medium = 5 External Send).
    Currently we were able to send the forms on OTF format, not PDF.
    Does anyone know how to automatically make the conversion from OTC to PDF without having to code anything on ABAP?

    Hello Luiz,
    actually there are only a few steps to do:
    Just call transaction SCOT and doubleclick your SMTP node. Click on the "set"-Button behind the supported address type "internet". Choose "PDF" as output format for SAPforms.
    By the way. You can also generate a PDF-File from a Spool with report RSTXPDFT4.
    I hope this will help you.

  • Oracle Report, How to Display Polish Characters in a PDF Output

    Environment :
    Oracle Application Server version 10.1.2.0.2 on Red Hat 4 Enterprise (Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 , 32 bit) Oracle Database Version 10.2.0.3.0 Our character set of database is UTF8
    I have trouble to display polish characters in Reports Output. We develop on Windows XP machines. I can see the Polish Caharacters in the Reports Builder using several fonts (arial, arial unicode, Times new roman, verdana...) during design time or when running with the paper layout. But when the report deployed to application server running on the linux, the polish characters are replaced by symbols.
    Even under Windows, when I select 'generate to a PDF' file option, the characters are not displayed correctly (When I open the generated PDF file with Acrobat reader and go to Document Properties / Fonts, I see the Fonts are always replaced with Adobe Sans MM)
    Using the Forms Applications running on the same application server we have no trouble dealing/displaying with the characters (Ąą ĆćĘę Ł ł ŃńÓóŚ ś Ź ź Ż ż ß Đ đ € )
    NLS_LANG setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on the Linux Box and AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1250 is on the Development machines. (have tried a number of different NLS_LANG settings on the development box as well with no luck).
    Any direction would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    You have several different approaches to fix this problem. First of all, you would be able to generate the PDF output with Font Subsetting setup and be able to see the Polish characters correctly when running the output with destype=cache&desformat=pdf. The following metalink documents would guide you with this setup :
    Note.207711.1 "How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i and 10g for PDF Output"
    As at design time you use many different Windows specific fonts, I also advice you to check the following document :
    Note.356221.1 "A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Fonts"
    Once the PDF output is generated properly with correct characters, then if you need to use "destype=printer" for direct print, rather than "destype=cache" to display the output in browser, then you can use the "PDFPrint" pluggable destination, which is located in :
