Losing margin in Smartform

I have developed a new smartform. When I preview it on the screen, it looks good. But when I print it, I lose some portion of the smartform on the right hand side, ie. losing about 2 characters on the right hand side. For example, my smartform has a vertical line to close off the border on the right hand side and it is not printing it out.
Any advice would be appreciated.

check it with diffrent printer . may be this is due to printer setting problem.

How can I force Firefox to properly format all html pages to a pdf without losing top and right hand margins?

Setting up page printout format for pdf on a Mac OS/X Snow Leopard Mac Pro. Printer is HP 8500A OfficeJet Pro Plus bought after July 14, 2011 serial number- CN141CK7QM
When I print to file as a pdf I am getting the first page correctly but subsequent pages are getting clipped along the top and the right margins.
I don't have this problem with my IBook 4.0
The issue is formatting an html page to a pdf when the print request is asking for a pdf or when the print request is to the printer.
The url to my HP Office jet Pro 8500A Plus is:
mdns://Officejet%20Pro%208500%20A910%20%5B530E4F%5D._pdl-datastream._tcp.local./?bidi
I have a IBook G4 and I do not have any of this problem.
I have specified a default paper size of "USLetter".
This printing issue is a new one that occurred since I started the Firefox updates after Firefox 6.0 series.
I am checking with HP on this issue. Prior to the HP8500A (installed in July 2011) I did have a HP6180 Officejet for several years without encountering such a conflict.
So my second question is; Are there Firefox printing conflicts with the HP 8500A printers?

It seems that Illy (still) moves in (ever new) mysterious ways.
I was surprised to see that you got away with your French word, but the hat part must have hidden the first part from the nanny filter. The first part by itself would have become asterisks.

Open CS3 AI in CS2, losing everything around margin

I have a CS3 AI file I made at work. It has items that are large and exceeding the margins on the screen. I open the same file in CS2 at home (didnt realize i could do that!) and although everything opens ok, everything on the outside of the margin is gone...or is it invisible? I cant tell if everything is actually cut off or is this a view setting that Im not familiar with. Which is it and can I fix it from CS2?

Illustrator is opening the PDF component of the AI file, which has been cropped to the artboard. Using CS3, save your CS3 file as CS2.

I'm unable to print or save pdf documents without losing text. Margins are not maintained page to page and text size might not be maintained either.

Printing within Firefox is untenable. I lose text at page break or a right margin. This happens when printing or saving as "pdf" file. Everything works fine in Safari.

Dear user,
You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

Problem with windows and variable in smartform

hi guru,
i create smartform for printing tax document and found problem.
1)
i create layout in form like this.
 {Main Window}
 <<<< Data to print
 <<<< secondary Window
 <<<< secondary Window
with many data in table, so this form will take 10 page up to print. i found and showed in every page.
in my solution *i want to display and on last page after {Main Window} Only*. how to resolve this.
2) follow to 1st question, can i place position of each window in dynamic? +like 's position is under {Main Window} 2 cm.+ instead of specific position left margin , upper margin *or should i create other page and place and .*
3) i create 2 variables (sum1 type p , sum2 type p ) for keep sum of tax in table that show in each page and write it at end of each page. i want to clear data in these 2 variables when system create new page and start to keep sum of value again. i create program line node under {Main Window} after but don't know which code or syntax to write.how to code this?
regards,
Kittisak.

1) On the 'Conditions' tab of your WIndow3 & WIndow4 just click the check box
'Only After End of Main Window'. It will always be printed at the last after your main window is finished.
2) And if you don't want your window3 & window4 in a fixed place than instead of new windows do the same thing inside your main window creating a new template or anything as per your requirement and place it after your main table.
3) For clearing the fields, do it like this, in the program lines write the code below:
IF G_PAGE NE SFSY-PAGE. " declare g_page with initial value '0'
 CLEAR field1.
 CLEAR field2.
 G_PAGE = SFSY-PAGE.
ENDIF.
With luck,

SMARTFORMS: 'OUTPUT CANNOT BE ISSUED error

Hi,
I have designed a smartform for Delivery document. One of the delivery has 700 lines of Packing for 1 single line item. When I execute this delivery, the output is not displayed The error message is "the output could not be issued".
In debug mode I find that it is giving error in function module SSFCOMP_WRITE_TEXT for the 518th line of the packing list. The data in this line is similar to previous lines and there does not seem to be anything different in this line. The function module is returning sy-subrc = 2.
if i reduce the packings to 517lines, then the document gets printed correctly. Otherwise it gives an error.
I need to display the line item alongwith the entire packing lines.
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
First don't run thro the program.
u just activate the smartform and then execute the Smartform. then u see the exception. the error belongs to window size is not enough space to write the text. Maybe it is overlapping the other windows.
So correct the window size then u run thro the program.
Otherwise it is related to Alignment problem. That means check margins and positions.

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

Crystal Report exported as PDF in BO 4.1 SP03 is creating Margins

Our users began complaining this past weekend (6/29/2014) that our Crystal Reports that are formatted to fit to letter head page size in
PDF format are seeing their columns truncated because Adobe is imposing a 1/4 margin on the top and sides of their reports, causing dollar values to truncate a digit at the front or back of their numbers -- NOT a good thing. We have been up on SP03 for several months, but just started seeing this change recently. We also just recently upgraded to CR2011 SP09 a few weeks ago.
Are there new settings that we can tweak to remove the PDF margins on the server? Anyone have any ideas? We will try any idea, no matter how far-fetched as it may seem.
Thanks,
BO Admin in the Dark, losing numbers on reports.

I solved this problem by setting in the report Design -> Page Setup - [X] No Printer - [X] Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size

Data printed twice on the next page in smartform

Hi all,
I ahve created a smartform where I print the header details at the start and then below that details for all line items for a particular document.
so i have data ;ike :
Header data :
field 1 : field 2:
Field3 : field4:
field5: field6:
Item data :
field1 field2 field3 field4 --> Item 1
field1 field2 field3 field4 -->Item 2
field 1 field2 field3 field4 -->Item3
For the Header data,I use a template in a secondary window.
However for the item data,i use a table in MAIN window (As i know the no of records only at runtime).Also another reason for usng table would be that I dont need the header on each flloowing page but only the Line item details on the following pages.
Now i have created a second page with only the MAIN window from the First page as I need only the remaining line item details to be continued/printed on the following pages.I have actually copied the MIAN WINDOW from the first page to the second page adjusting only the uppe rand left margin.
However now when i see the rpint preview.the 1st page data,is printed corrrectly.however on the 2nd page,the 1st record is printed twice.
Can anyone explan why is this happening?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies.
@Meghanandan,
I dont want to set any command for going to next page as I dont have any condition to go ot next page.Im setting the width of the first page main window to print sufficient data.
@satyajit
I have the text elements under the MAIN AREA.Cna you pls elborate which Points i need to check undre the table node which might have been unnnecesssarily checked?
Thanks again for your time.

Converting Smartform into PDF preview layout

Hi ABAP experts,
We have converted an existing invoice layout smart form into PDF layout in print preview mode. However, we have an issue with PDF layout alignment. Earlier, it used to print the documents correctly (layout is aligned properly at the middle of the page). But when use this 'PDF' preview layout (triggered from smart form) the layout is left aligned/ larger right margin (but not at the middle).
We have gone through the existing forum links on this PDF layout generating from smart form. But no luck on this left alignment issue. Do we need to modify the OTF data that is being populated in the layout. Can it be modifed with the position of the layout dynamically. Please advise.
Technical team has used "CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF" to populate the OTF data.
In SAP note # 323736 (issued in 2006), the below limitation was mentioned. But do we have any way to resolve this page alignment issue.
Page size for SAPscript/SmartForms: PDF conversion uses the page format from the form definition as page size for the PDF document. If this has been defined larger than the page size that is actually used (for example for INCH12, INCH11 and so on), a reduced document or a larger right margin are the
result when you view/print in Acrobat Reader.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Satya

Hi Satya,
'We tried that option of "PDF!" but it didn't work for this smart form. Do we need to include/activate any option for this in the smart form.'..What do you mean by it didn't work for this smartform.?
Execute your smartform and when you are in the print preview mode of the form means you get the output, then type PDF! in the command and hit ENTER. A popup will get displayed if you are using windows 7
or Allow and decline type of radiobutton option will be displayed if you are using Windows XP. So just click Allow and your smartform output will be displayed in pdf. Now you can save the pdf output file while clicking the save option in PDF. Your smartform output will be aligned properly in the PDF.
You don't need any activation or any FM for converting the output in pdf for this.
Basically, we do this to attach the smartform output in test plan.
NOTE: This is for only to get the output in PDF while you are in Print preview of the form.
Regards
Syed

Logo in Smartform.

Hello Everybody,
I am supposed to load the logo into the form based on the input given by the user.i,e. i should the take the name of the logo to be put in the SMARTFORM from the text box in the selection screeen.Could some one tell me as to how this is done????
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Sirisha Matta.

Hi Sirisha,
you can create a GRAPHIC node where the name of the node is a variable:
Name &V_LOGO&
Object GRAPHICS
ID BMAP
So before of GRAPHIC node you have to insert an ABAP node where u insert the name of the LOGO, let us take one case like --in according the company code
CASE BUKRS = ....
WHEN '....'. V_LOGO = .....
WHEN '....'.
ENDCASE.
or..............
Try executing program RSTXLDMC program. There also you can upload a graphic.

Smartform spacing

Hi all,
if I use a box or a grid with my text in smartform, letters are too close to box/grid lines.
How can I set a space in my layout?
Thank you
Massimo

That depends on the Paragraph Format you are using, defined on Smartsytle. On Smartstyles transaction go to Paragraph Format, select the format you want to change. On Indents and Spacing you can define margins on Indent box. I used to define Left Margin = 1 MM, Right Margin = 1 MM, to avoid it.
