MDG- Material CR PDF print form

Hello Friends,
I am facing a problem while printing adobe forms. I searched the forums before posting but none of the discussions were satisfying.
My issue is as below:
I am getting an error while printing material CR's, the form gets called from WDA portal.The strange problem is this error happens only while printing certain materials CR ( for few materials it prints fine )
Error Message:
“com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: 0 : InvalidDataException: Xml parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4), line 24, column 272 of file”
“Processing exception during a "Render" operation.#Request start time: Thu Nov 21 05:09:06 GMT 2013#com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: 0 : InvalidDataException: Xml parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token) (error code 4), l”
Please find attached the image for reference.

Dear Kesav,
I can't say 100%. I haven't done Adobe forms for long months. But I think I know what that could be.
One of the things I used to hate about the forms is the fact that it is an integration of two completely different technologies (ABAP and Adobe) and that means that the "alien" technology does not support everything we are used to. Namely the "syntax check" in this case.
In your case it is probably the fact that your interface structure and your form layout don't match. That often happens when multiple people work on the same thing or when you change your interface and forget to change the form. The system then goes and tries to put the table data into a date time field or something crazy/ incompatible like that.
The problem with this error is that it does not tell you where to go looking. You will have to check the whole form against the interface and look for anything suspicious. This error does not come from ABAP, it comes from the Adobe site, so there is nothing you can do outside of the Livecycle designer to fix this AFAIK.
I would love to help you more, but there is no trace or log you can send for me to get more information. You must find it, fix it, then use the versioning of your objects (that saved my *** several times) and be more disciplined (with your team).
May you don't feel too much pain looking for the problem

PDF Print Forms - Date format

Hi Frnds,
This is my first time to work in PDF print forms.
I am using standard interface and program to print my PDF forms. The PDF form alone is customised.
I need to format my date as dd-mmm-yyyy. how can i do it?
can i call a subroutine from a Zprogram in the context or interface?
Can anyone help me to solve my issue? thanks a lot.
regards
Suganya.

Hi Frnds,
I got the date format solution.
But I need to know whether we can use the subroutine of the program inside the interface or PDF forms as like script.
I am using the std prgm RFKORD10_PDF and my customised PDF form. but i am getting an error as "Contradiction in form".
Can anyone help me to solve the error?

Urgent. Selections in PDF print forms

How to make selections in PDF print form and connect them with fields on the form?
For example, we get the number of a document and other attributes as IMPORT.

And how to make One body page print a few times (depending on the amont of positions in the document)?
HELP PLEASE.

1. Your interface, application program and form layout need to be modified accordingly. You can refer to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/4adf7ba13c4ac1b4600d4df15f8b84/frameset.htm">the documentation</a> on how to do this.

Forwarding PDF Print-Forms

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to understand the printing process regarding simple PDF Print-forms.
I'm using the transaction PC00_M01_HRF, which generates me Renumeration Statements in PDF. If I press PRINT, the documents are stored in a spool job. Can you help me providing answers or documentation links that could help me on the following issues:
1) Where are this forms saved?
2) If this forms should be sent to an other printing center, what solutions are here seen?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
as for the source, I guess you can reach the template for the form in SFP using PAYSLIP as name, e.g. PYXXFO_SAP_PAYSLIP_DE_P. As for the output, I guess you can debug out this:
when calling the function module for the data passing to the form context (usually "CALL FUNCTION fm_name where fm_name is a variable with the right name according to the name you can get in SFP using F8) you can get data fp_form_out TYPE fpformoutput out of it. And inside this structure there are nodes PDF, PDL, XML, which you can use for "transfer" somewhere else to print it there.
I guess nobody will provide you the copmplete code how to do this. At least because I don´t understand why do you need such a thing. Maybe there is another solution, not that technical etc.
Good luck on this, Otto

PDF print forms

Hi,
I want to create a pdf print form without interactive functions. I have already the print program which I use for a sapscript form. I want to replace this form with a pdf form.
But how can I use the printprogram for the pdf form?

Hi,
You can use the program RSTXPDFT4. If you send the output's spool number, you can download the PDF version.

Best Practice for PDF print forms based on SAP standard

Hi,
I have copied the SAP standard PDF form F_D_INT_SCALE_00 to a Z form, and am using it in conjunction with the standard print program RFDZIS01_PDF. However I need to output some additional fields that are not supplied by the print program / interface (for example Customer VAT number).
What is the best practice for achieving this? As far as I can see the only way is to take a copy of the standard print program and modify it to select the extra data, and modify the interface. I never like taking copies of standard programs though for obvious reasons.
If I had this requirement with a smartform it would be a simple case of embedding ABAP code into the Z smartform and leaving the print program alone, but unfortunately there is no provision for the non-PDF version of the Interest Letter to be sent by email.
Thanks in advance,
Vindaloo

Thanks for your reply Robert.
However I think you are referring to Smartforms when you mention Code Initialization and Global Data declarations. I need to know the best way to modify copies of standard Adobe Print Forms.

Vindaloo

Printing to a PDF printer form Word 2007-missing charts

Hi,
I have a word document in 2007. I have pasted 2 charts in it from EXcel 2007. when I try to print to the Adobe pdf printer , the charts dispaeepar..I know that you can SAve as pdf. but I trying to find the reason why? , please help thanks

Sometimes these problems appear due to MS, not just Acrobat so try trouble shooting there also. A first step is to check the print preview and also try to print a sample to paper. You did not indicate the Acrobat version. If it is AA ?.0, then you definitely need to update your Acrobat and that might resolve the problem.
WORD sometimes has problems if you link charts and such, so you might try a version of the WORD file with the charts totally embedded.

Aztec and other new barcodes inside PDF print forms

Hello!
Currently we have a form obligatory in communication with several banks in Russia. This form has Aztec barcode on it. Barcode is added using special virtual printer software (supporting only PCL output and working fine from Windows apps like Notepad, Office, etc.).
Now when trying to create the same form is SAP and print it from there (or from Adobe Reader) there's no barcode generated, cause SAP and Reader are sending data in RAW format.
Is it possible to extend the number of barcodes available in Adobe Designer (and on Adobe server of course) for development of print forms?
Regards,
Petr Perstnev

The answer is currently "No". Cause SAP delivers Adobe LiveCycle Designer ver. 8.0x as part of its solution. When SAP is going to support Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES (8.2 or later) than it will possibly become "Yes", cause ALD ES supports Aztec.
Correction: ALD ES (8.1 and later) supports Aztec only in the form of Hardware rendered barcode,
so special printer (Zebra or smth) is needed to print such bcodes.

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,
Davide.

What's the business case for using adobe forms for handling print forms

Hi
We are just starting our SAP project and are looking at the possibility to use Adobe forms for generating and printing our forms, like purchase orders, invoices etc.
My Question is:
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - <i> We have been looking on the SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high</i>
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
Regards
Morten Nielsen

Hi Morten,
1. Is this possible / adviseable ?
As far I know SAP is going to stop support for SAPScript in coming years (I don't know exact dates). It is pretty much advisable to use Adobe Print Forms.
2. if so - what's the business case in using Adobe forms - We have been looking on the
SAP Pricing for adobe interactive form, and in our point of view it's grotesque high
We can use Adobe Print Forms where ever we can able to use SApscripts/PDF print Forms.
3. What other options do we have - do we need to settle with SAP Script / Smartforms ?
It is better to settle with Adobe forms rather than using SAPscript/Smart forms. One of the main reason for this is maintainance is much easier than SAPscript/Smart forms.
But remember that Java Stack need to be installed in order to use Adobe Forms.
Please visit the below SDN area on Adobe forms for more details.

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.

Creating layout in PDF Based Form to print table content.

Hi ,
I am facing problem in creating the layout of PDF Based Form . I do not need any interactive text but only active table in my context whose data i need to print . What i did was drag the table from data view into the body page and activate . When i run it i only get a table structure but without any data .
Can any one help me or give a pointer to any tutorial for this ?. I have checked in SAPnet for PDF Based Print Form but it somehow skips how to create layout.
With regards,

Bug Report: Static LOV's and PDF Printing with Tabular Forms

I have a tabular form, which acts as an editable report. Some columns are 'Standard Report Column' and some are Select Lists, using Static LOV's with the contents of
Yes;Y,No;NThe purpose of the page is to allow users to edit yes/no attributes of a row. Then, they can print the report.
To make the current sort of the report reflect what is being printed to PDF, I've used a Report Layout associated with the report region, as oposed to a report query. A report query in this case would not reflect the sort of the report (all columns are sortable asc/desc).
Anyway, I link my report with the layout created, and go to run it. I get this message.
ORA-06550: line 1, column 50: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":= was inserted before "," to continue.
     Error      ERR-1000 Unable to determine LOV from "declare function x return varchar2 is begin Yes;Y,No;N return null; end; begin wwv_flow_utilities.g_query := x; end;".
OK
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data foundI'm guessing the product is trying to take my static LOV and place it in a function to be able to generate which value is being displayed as text, from the select lists. However, it doesn't work.
I've been able to get around it - by adding a YES_NO domain to my domain_codes table (a table which associates abreviations with full meanings), I can set by select lists to be query based select lists using the SQL select code_meaning, code from domain_codes where domain = 'YES_NO_CODE'. This still allows the user to dropdown Yes/No fields, and the PDF printing doesn't break.
It is just me, or can't the PDF printing handle static LOV's in tabular forms/reports?

Hi Patrick.
I've tried STATIC:Yes;Y,No;Nwhile stating it is a Select List (static LOV). The values that are rendered on the page are
[STATIC:Yes]
[No        ]
----------I tried the same thing with STATIC2 instead of STATIC, and the same thing happened.
It also broke if I tried STATIC or STATIC2 under Select List (query based LOV). This is within a report where there is no hyperlink to say 'Create/Edit static list' or 'Create Dynamic List', as there is under select list items.
However, I am finding that for some reason, the values being sent to the PDF are not the values in the database (Y/N), but the showing values (Yes/No). This happens when I use the domain_code select query as the query based LOV.
Furthermore, I cannot get any columns not rendering on the page to be generated in the PDF. I have a column that groups items depending on values, and I want this grouping to display in the PDF instead on the original value, ideally.
Cheers,
K.
