Modification Export to PDF in WAD

Hi,
I have created a web template(copy of Std Template) and using export to PDF option. while downloading I am getting all the variables used in the query.
My question: Is there any way I can restrict to selective variables? I know using some INFO_FIELD_ITEM in XHTML but not sure what the exact code to write,
Can someone pls give me an example.
Regards,

Hi Vijay,
You need to insert an Info Field Item onto the template. Please choose from the Info Field settings as to whether you need to display only static filters (query restrictions) or dynamic filters (user entry vars) or you can also choose to show only selective vars by specifying the same under Data Binding -> List of Elements to Display -> Type of Text Element = Variable Value & then specifying the var, likewise for each such var you wish to show. Alternatively, you can also choose to display only vars having values i.e Display Variables -> Variable Settings -> Only Variables with values.
You then need to ensure you choose the Info Field Item as one of the web items to be included in the Export to PDF command. Hope this helps.

Hi Pradeep,
I dont think this can be done. There are various issues with exporting web items to PDF, one of them being formating. We had a similar issues and opened an OSS with SAP and they stated this was how it was designed and SAP do not provide a better way of formatting PDFs.
Thanks,

Export to PDF in WAD

Hi,
I am using Export to PDF/excel option in WAD 7.O, when i am exporting the web temp, it is exporting successfully, but
1. It is not displaying template heading
2. Icons - variable screen, filter, query information, print, export to PDF and export excel are coming in PDF document. User dont want to see this icons in generated PDF document.
Thanks,
Hemanth

Hi Hemanth,
1. Since you have used MIME objects directly in your template, these actually shouldn't reflect in your exported PDF - normally, images have to be inserted into a 'Report' webitem for them to be visible in the PDF output.
Pinting PDF with Logo in WAD
You can try inserting your MIME objects in a 'Report' webitem & NOT binding them instead in the Export to PDF Data Binding properties.
2. Now that you have used a Text webitem for your template heading, you simply need to select the webitem under Export To PDF command settings i.e. I assume you to be using Command 7 APIs i.e. Command Wizard -> Commands for Web Templates -> Export Web Application [EXPORT] -> Data Binding -> Web Item -> choose your Text webitem here.

Regarding the downloading amount of data through export to PDF in WAD

hi in our WAD we are using export to PDF option to download the data. since we have more than 300 pages in our report the datas are not getting downloaded. if we restrict to some state(i.e., say some 30 pages ) then it is working fine.
is there any setting to overcome this problem.
i need to download all the datas no matter how many pages it is.
do anyone have ideas regarding this

Hi Dolly,
Hi
Export to PDF is assigned to some Web Item like Analysis or Chart
Go to the Analysis properties and there you have to align the number of rows and columns per page
Hope this helps u..

Insert an image in header and export to PDF/Excel WAD

Hi experts!
I'm trying to create a Web template for one of my queries with the WAD.
I've added a table at the top, containing a logo and One custom text. Below that table, I've added a CONTAINER_LAYOUT_ITEM, and in this element, I've added different item, like BUTTON_GROUP_ITEM, INFO_FIELD_ITEM, NAVIGATION_PANE_ITEM and ANALISYS_ITEM, related with one query.
One of the buttons I've created one with the action EXPORT but in the Data Binding secction, only the items (BUTTON_GROUP_ITEM, INFO_FIELD_ITEM, NAVIGATION_PANE_ITEM and ANALISYS_ITEM) are shown. So I can't select the table I've created for the export.
I've tried to put the table in one CONTAINER_ITEM, and the select it in the export command, but it doesn't work.
Does anybody any idea about how to inlcude the logo and the Title in the PDF or Excel export??
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,

When you post code, please use[code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting tips on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
I'm confused, you are returning a GIF, not a PDF in the code below, but you are telling the client you are returning a JPEG.

Problem in WAD: export to PDF all the tab panels of a TabPage

Hi all,
I have a problem with WAD and export to PDF.
My template (schema):
Group -->
Container Barraher --> Button Group
Container Form --> Tab Pages -->
TabPanel1 --> Container1 --> Analysis1
TabPanel2 --> Container2 --> Analysis2
TabPanel3 --> Container3 --> Analysis3
My problem:
The button exports only the Analysis we are seeing (the TabPanel which is opened) but I would want the button exports the three Analysis. Is it possible?
At the Button Group --> Command Export --> Data Binding --> Web Items:
Analysis1
Analysis2
Analysis3
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
Can you remove the Data Bindings and see if you use the Default if PDF is working ?.
Another way also might be is to save the Same Template with a new Name, then Keep only the Data Providers and the Analysis Grid.
Back on Main Template in the Button Group use this new Template as a Print Template.
Hope this helps.

Export to PDF - WAD sizing issue

Hi,
When I export to PDF , print Version using the standard template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN in WAD, I get options FIT to width, Fit to Pag eand POster.
Is there any way of choosing in the poster option how many pages it takes up. Like scaling in my case it takes up 10 pages I would like that to shrink in 3 - 4 pages. I do not see any option to scale this.
appreciate any input.
thanks,
Tarun

Make sure you server is sized correctly, you can look at note 927530 for this.
Also in SP 11 patch 1 and higher there are lots of improvements on the performance of BI JAVA, try getting the latest SP fo BI JAVA ,

WAD: Problems when exporting to PDF with embedded .swf

I'm using Web Application Designer (WAD) 7 and have created a template with an "Export to PDF" button and an embedded .swf flash file which is an Xcelsius dashboard.
What i'm trying to do is show the information I want on my dashboard and then export that to a PDF to email out to multiple users who would be interested in the data each month. If exporting to PDF isn't the best route to get a snapshot of this dashboard out to other users and there's an easier way please let me know, but here are the issues i'm having:
1) When I have the dashboard showing the information I want and click the "Export to PDF" button, the dashboard reloads as the PDF settings window pops up and gets reset back to it's initial state.
2) If I ignore problem #1 and click on 'OK' in the Export dialog anyway after selecting PDF settings, my Adobe Reader pops up but then shows a message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages". Basically it doesn't see the .swf as being a component to take a snapshot of and print on a PDF. I did try adding a text component just so there was something on the template and I then get a PDF with that text component showing and no .swf snapshot.
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? I've tried using the BEx Broadcaster with the 'Send' option but get the same results in regards to the blank page.
Thanks as always for the help!

Thanks for the reply.
The dashboard is connected to a query in NetWeaver BI to get its data. So the request of the user is to be able to adjust the dashboard to show the information they need (well say of a certain region) and then take a snapshot of that and email it out to co-workers in Group A. Then the user will adjust the dashboard to show other data (for a different region we'll say) and take a snapshot to email out to co-workers in Group B. etc and etc.
I have looked into installing a PDFCreator print driver but that wouldn't be feasible to get it on all machines in the business. I've also looked into getting it as a .jpeg which would suffice, but am unsure if there is a way to do it with script and connect that to the dashboard when a button is pushed (will look into this). This seems like a topic for over in the Xcelsius forum now.
I used the following code within the <body></body> tags of the WAD's xhtml to embed the .swf:
<object id="dashboard" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="600" width="800" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="Movie" value="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" />
<embed src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/JavaScript/dashboard.swf" name="dashboard" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
</object>

However, when I go to print the pdf, it shows 1st page as the cover photo & 1st page ready to print.
It's really only when opening the doc up that it starts at page 2.

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.

Export to PDF - Change Font size

Hello everybody,
We were exporting reports to PDF file using te "Export to PDF" option in WAD. We recently have updated the BI environment with the SP17 patch. After the patch, the font size of the reports in the export PDF file has become very small and hence not clear.
Is there a place where we can adjust the font size of the Texts seen in the "Exported PDF reports"?
Please help me with your Knowledge and Experience,
Shameem

Hi Rane,
Thank you for your input. I am aware that we can zoom the document and see the content. However when we print the report, the reports are not as clear as it was before SP17 installation. Thats the problem.

Indesign Exporting to PDF... Some Images Disappear

I have searched forums and elsewhere with no luck on this issue. I am exporting to PDF from InDesign CS 5.5 and some images are missing. Images are linked correctly and the problem also happens when I now export older files which exported perfectly fine before.
I have tried removing and replacing images with no success.
Problem was not occuring before Christmas but started the day I returned from vacation on Jan. 3. No new software has been added.
For a few weeks I have been getting the following error when closing... have been ignoring it... The instruction at 0x00978b83 reference memory at 0x0b159f40. The memory could not be "read"
Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks.

Well it was a long shot. Do you run Suitcase? If so, have you updated it recently? There was a problem with Suitcase and links a month or so ago, but I don't recall if it was in PDFs. Might have been link modification dates.
What sort of images are we talking about? Did you make the layouts, or did they come from outside? OPI comments can casue this, and files from Quark users often have them -- they are on by defualt in Q.
