How to output 3 colour pdfs

I've got a design thas uses a duotone. I obvioulsy just want the black plate and the spot colour in the PDF, but no matter how much I fart around I keep getting CMYK plates as well. I just spent a happy 30 mins preparing a "fixup" in acrobat; first time I'd looked into that part of preflight - excellent being able to create a fixup that in theory converted all CMYK object to greyscale and leaves the spots alone. It didnt work, though.

> hence a 3colour design uses 2 colour inks?
goosh, mate, yes. Like a (silk-) print with just white only but on a multicolored photography (as your 'paper') does always use/need/print 1 color only. puh ...
just in case: when you print a blank document page it does neither output a transparent result on 'paper' nor on 'plate' - but on film it does. To make such things clear ...

How to add body text when sending output as PDF in email?

Hello,
We are using standard SAP to send SD output as PDF in an email (in output type we choose medium 5, email address is taken from customer master. In transaction SCOT is indicated that SAPscript/smartforms are converted to PDF. When the output is generated, we run rsconn01 to trigger the actual sending of the email).
Via form TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE we can modify the subject of the email that is send to include e.g. the order number. HOWEVER, in the body of the email that is send, we now only have the PDF, but we also would like to add a standard text in the body of the email. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Alex

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.

How to download the blocked ALV output to PDF file.
I am able to download the BLocked ALV output in PDF format,
but the each bolck in ALV is displaying different pages of PDF.
In my report I have 4 block in 1 page, I am able to see the output in PDF but in different page.
How to avoid the Page-break in PDF.
Thanks,
Ravi Yasoda.

hi,
I believe that your have 4 containers on the screen with individual ALV display. in this case, there is no way to get combined PDF output to my knowledge.
However you can use Smartform/Sapscript as output which would allow you to display ALV in blocks and also print it in one.

How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i?

Hi,
How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i? I given Mode = BITMAP.
DESTYPE = File, DESFORMAT = PDF, DESNAME = C:\x.pdf.
Report is running fine. But PDF file not generated. I don't know what i missed. Any one can help this?
Thanks
Kavitha

Hello,
Do you get this problem only for DESFORMAT=PDF ?
Test with :
DESFORMAT = RTF, DESNAME = C:\x.rtf
or
DESFORMAT = HTMLCSS, DESNAME = C:\x.html
does it work ?
Check if DESNAME is modified in the reports itself.
Regards

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
Example: Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
Be well...

How do I print a colour PDF in black and white

How do I print a colour PDF in black and white.

Thanks for that, unfortunately a) I'm a Mac user and b) I've already ticked the grayscale box in the print dialogue box and it seems to ignore or override the instruction and still print in colour. I've been in to the advanced instructions and tried a couple of different settings there but still no luck.

How to Convert spool which is for smartform output to PDF?

how to Convert spool which is for smartform output to PDF?
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is not working for smartform output,
if i use this there will be error spool not contain list output?
than whats the function module or way to convert spool contain smartform output to pdg?
regards,

<b>Procedure</b>
     When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar
Environment => Function Module_Name . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is /1BCDWB/SF00000152 . In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be X. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.
In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.
In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with //. EP represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.
In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.
Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.

Pages: How to export a PDF suitable for print-on-demand

I need to be able to export a PDF from Pages that will meet the specs for the IngramSpark or Lightning Source Print on Demand programs. They require a PDF that has all fonts fully embedded in one of these two PDF versions:
PDF/X-1a:2001 or PDF/X-3:2002
Does Pages export - either through the export function or Print function - to either of those specs and does it embed full font sets?
Thanks.

The reason neither Pages, or Swift Publisher nor most of the low cost DTP apps do this on OSX is because they use Apple's muddled print output. It almost but not quite outputs to PDF/X-3:2002, and even there there are caveats.
Indesign and QuarkXpress use their own print engines and Scribus uses GhostScript.
GhostScript is available for OSX. I have not tried this so you are in wide open territory, but experiment to see if it fixes Pages' output. My suspicions are that GhostScript may not capture Pages' output before it has already been through Apple's muddled output.
There are other problems with Apple's approach. No specifiable defined colours in Styles. No spot colours, and no proofing. ColorSync itself is powerful but undocumented and difficult to tailor. You can run the end result through Acrobat Pro's Press Check but it only picks up the errors, you are on your own trying to fix them.
The only easy to use, low price DTP application that meets your requirements is Serif PagesPlus, which runs only on Wimdows. You can run this in BootCamp or some other virtualiser.
Adobe lets you effectively hire Indesign CC by the month so may be a cost effective solution in the short term. It is a professional solution but has a professionally difficult interface.

How to show a pdf file in bi publisher report

Hi All,
We need to show a pdf file as report which was saved in a given location. How to call that pdf file as report. We need to give a hyperlink in the report and when we click on the report the pdf file should be displayed.
When we open a report, there will be just hyperlinks to call serveral reports. When we click on each link , one should call a pdf saved in a particular location.
Thanks.

In Word, if you have set the borders on then you should see them in the output. In Word it has a setting to let you see 'gridlines' even if they are not set ie you have turned the borders off. Highlight the table and set all the borders on and re-try. If that fails, try building the table from scratch and copy the cell contents across to the new table

How to create a pdf for the URL attached to an invoice and send it as an attachment in a mail

HI,
I have requirement where i need to get the URL attached to an invoice, create the pdf and send as an attachement in a mail.
The URL attached to an invoice can be seen by following the path : VF03-> Billing document->system->Services for object ->Attachement list.
On searching through existing forums, i found that there is a table 'SRGBTBREL' which stores relationships of GOS object. On giving the invoice number in field 'INSTID_A', i could find an entry in this table.
To get the content, i used the class CL_FITV_GOS, method GET_CONTENT. To this method i passed following values:
IV_ATTA_ID = FOL21000000000521URL39000000000012 (The value if field INSTID_B from table SRGBTBREL)
IV_OBJTP   = 'URL'
On execution, i get URL link but the content table is empty.
Could anybody provide some input on how i get the content? Or may be how i can create pdf from the URL link and attach it to mail as an attachment?
Thanks,

Hi Amit,
Solution provided by you is working when the link length is one line but it is not working for more than one line
Eg: say link is https://......80 [80 characters long]
I will give    <a href="https://...72            [in first line]
                 73..80">click here</a>         [in second line]
I will get the output as 73...80">click here
But i want only CLICK HERE in my output..
Please suggest solution.
Thanks,
Kavya

Line art problem outputting to pdf

I have a problem with exporting pages of a magazine going to print as pdf, relating to line art placed on the page as a bitmap tiff (typically at 1200 ppi). At present I have a workaround for an annoying problem that really needs clearing up ...
I'm using CS4 InDesign and Acrobat (files prepared in Photoshop). So, high-res bitmap tiff containing line art sized (that is, just placed - no resizing in Indesign) and placed in Indesign, looks fine on the page. Output to pdf using 'export' and the resulting file, when viewed on screen, has a thin line down the right-hand edge of any and all bitmap files.
To ensure no misunderstanding, the 'bitmap' reference is what Photoshop calls it - a bilevel file with black lines in it, which enables me easily to overlay other files such as a photo (because the file is black/transparent) and assign a colour or tint to the bitmap, or even a drop shadow etc. I've used this workflow for years, from Photoshop through Indesign, but the latter always gives me this line on the right edge, in the pdf. It did this in CS3 Indesign/Acrobat as well (but never in Pagemaker).
My workaround is to lay a white-filled box over the edge of the file, thus masking it. But of course, that also limits me to where I can place the file - not easily on a graded tint background, not on a photo and so on. So I'd like to solve this.
Any ideas? OS is Win XP Pro (all updates applied to this and the CS programs - I don't believe they make a difference to this problem, as it has existed through several iterations of both OS and CS).
Anyone else seen this effect? Or is it just me? And has anyone a potential solution?
Chris

I think by reason of not knowing what else I can do, I'm heading to the same conclusion - put up with it! I'll certainly try sending a line to print and see if it appears, but for on-screen stuff, I think I have to stick with the safe workaround I use and accept the layout limitations. (Or resort to Pagemaker for the pages that I just cannot do otherwise.)
Seems to me, if people have reported this for years, Adobe might have tried sorting it out. On screen or not, it still must be due to *something* in the file and/or Acrobat/Distiller to allow it to appear. If I create a white greyscale tiff with the same resolution etc, and place it on a page, there's no line down the edge on output - just a white page with a white (invisible) box. If I do this with an 'empty' bitmap file, a line appears ... Both files created in Adobe programs, so it's not me as a user ...
Just me whinging! I'm really coming from the angle that if this is indeed a display problem, it can only be a display problem if there is something in the file for the display to react to (badly phrased that!).
Thanks everyone for your support and ideas - I think that's me finished for now; I have files to upload and then sleep.

PO output type to send a mail to the user along with PO output as PDF file

Hi Friends,
I have one requirement from client.
Client wants the PO output to be converted to PDF format and sent to User while doing the PO release through e-mail. Can anybody guide me how to Configure a New Output Type and convert the PO output into PDF and send to User through e-mail.
Thanks
Nazer

This can be done with the standard form itself.
first find out the output type u r using.
Then goto T-code NACE and then choose EF- purchase order and then select the output type u r using.
Then goto the 'processing Routines' at the lefe side of the screen.
There u can find out the output forms for this output typr u r using. Here add 'Simple mail-7' in the list and then give the program name and the smartform or the script u r using.
We can also give the mail texts for this output form.
After that goto ME22N and then choose the 'Messages' tab and then click the simple mail and in the 'communication method' kindly provide the mail id for which the PO mail has to be sent.
And then the mail can be viewed in the inbox of the recipient.
in this way we can sent the PO mail to the corresponding mail address,.
I guess this will solve ur issue.
Thanks and Regards
Siva
