PDF-based forms + translations

Hi All,
I have created one form with SFP and English language for Order confirmation.
Now I need to translate this forms for ALL languages. I have started with German - DE language in SE63 transaction.
I have created also one Order confirmation in German - DE language.
Problem: my translation words not happen.
Any solution/idea for this problem??
Regards,
Anabela Moreira

That's nice.
I found interesting feature (or bug) that can help translators.
E.g. you have form in English. You have translated it into Russian.
If after translation of the form you login in SAP using target language (Russian) and open form in SFP transaction and try to edit it system says that current language is not the same as original language of the form bla-bla-bla. If you select to use original language system shows you all text in the original language (English). But! If you open the form not in edit, but in view mode than all translation is visible.
Maybe it could help.
And just for reference of future users here are some examples of calling form with language parameters.
* For American English (locale enUS)
gs_docparams-langu = 'E'.
gs_docparams-country = 'US'.
* For GB English (locale enGB)
gs_docparams-langu = 'E'.
gs_docparams-country = 'GB'.
* For Russia (locale ruRU)
gs_docparams-langu = 'R'.
gs_docparams-country = 'RU'.
* Now call the generated function module
call function gv_fm_name
exporting
    /1bcdwb/docparams = gs_docparams
importing
    /1bcdwb/formoutput = gs_result
exceptions
    usage_error        = 1
    system_error       = 2
    internal_error     = 3
    others             = 4.
In case if these parameters are omitted system uses login language.

Issue with pdf-based forms (correspondence)

Hello!
Got a problem with our new pdf-based forms.
I'm tryinig to print a new pdf-based dunning form via correspondence (fpcopara), but there is no option where i could say "XFP data stream with context evaluation". There are only the options for Smartforms and SapScript.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanx 4 helping!

Here are the steps (from generating the form up to the point where i want to print it):
1. Transaction Code: SFP (Form Builder)
create a new interface with interface-type: ABAP Dictionary-based Interface
2. Transaction Code: SFP (Form Builder)
create a new form. Layout type = Standard Layout, Interface from step 1, create a small layout and activate both (interface an form).
3. Transaction Code: EFRM (Maintain Application Form)
create a new application form with these options:
Form Class: IS_U_CA_DUNNING
Form Type: PDF-based Form
PDF-based Form: (name from step 2)
After creating this new application form, try to activate it.
4. Transaction Code: FPCOPARA (Correspondence Printing)
For this step you need printable dunnings in your system.
Tab: Print Parameters
Output Device: your XFP-Printer
And there we are... There is no option for PDF-based Forms at this point. Just the options for SapScript and Smartforms.
Thanks
Btw: we're using IS-U (Utilities).

Document Output - PDF-based forms - output log (error)

Hello,
Ever since activating the PDF-based form for BUS2201 the following error shows via viewing the 'output log':
E     Business AddIn Was Not Called     http://srm7.atosorigin-ica.com:80/sap/ebp/docserver?msgdocuget&MsgId=SPPF_MEDIA&MsgNo=038&Langu=EN&sap-client=100
E     Printing Error
E     Action could not be succesfully executed
Anybody else has experienced the error 'Business Addin Was Not Called' before? What does it mean? I know there is _SF badi active but it doesn't really contain anything apart from
check = check
statement
Kind regards,
Tim

how to create PDF-based forms

Hi,
1. Why do you go for PDF Based Forms when you have SAP Scripts/Smart Forms?
In US and Europe under section 508 each and every business document should be accessible for impaired people.
Communication is possible using XML.
We can work off line (when SAP system is down).
2. The Settings involved in SAP Scripts/Smart Forms.
    All Fonts, output type, Driver programs and printer details.
Myriad Pro (some font name like that) is not available in PDF form. For other fonts no extra setting is required
Changes in Driver Program
Driver program
     Get name of the generated function module
     CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
     Print job needs to be opened exclusively for forms of new interface
     CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     Now call the generated function module
After PDF form is created it will generated FM
CALL FUNCTION gv_fm_name
     Close spool job
       CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
3. Does the same font/printer is supported when converted to PDF Based forms?
            Yes
4. What difficulties are faced when conversion? Limitations in PDF Based Forms which cannot be done when trying to convert Smart forms/Sap Scripts?
     Certain conditions are there in Sap Scripts and Smart forms that can not be handled in PDF, there is something called as Scripting in PDF. Using that we can handle such kind of exceptions .But according to Good Programming technique we should rarely use it, because it affects the performance of the form.
5. Limitations of PDF Based Forms as such?
   There is a concept called as nested tables, from Accessibility point of view there is problem.
     Headers on different pages. This is again an accessibility problem.
     Preprinted forms.
6. Procedure Assigning output types for PDF Based forms and testing them?
    Some Basis Problem is there, thats why I am not able to view the layout
7. Printer configurations in PDF Based forms and the Paper size?
     Default printer should be Local
     Page Scaling should be None
     Chose paper source by PDF Page size.
points plz (if this information is usefull for U ).

Problem to print pdf-based forms using Epson printer

Hello,
I need print pdf-based forms using an EPSON FX 2190 printer.
In The sap note 685571 I read that can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file exists.
I do not found XDC file to EPSON device type, a Epson fx 2190 do not support postscript.
Can I use this printer to pdf-based forms?
I need that spool request (pdf) have a output immediately on EPSON printer.
thanks in advanced for your cooperation to solve it.
Osmany

I don't think Epson has developed an XDC for ESC/P language. That would be very difficult/long to develop an XDC from scratch. Best solution is to install a new printer. Otherwise you may either use a Printer Description Language converter (PS to ESC/P, or other ones), it probably exists, or call acrord32 in print mode on a Windows frontend or server.

I am afraid you cannot make your scenario work if there is no XDC provided. Maybe you can create one, but I don´t know how difficult that can be or how to do that. Maybe you can get more help under ABAP > Form printing where there are guys experienced with this printing details. Regards, Otto

Form translation to Japanese - baseline shift

Dear All,
I have a big problem with interactive forms. I developed a PO form for a Japanese company in English. When I transate it and use Kanji characters in the translation the baseline of these characters is about one line below where they should be. I use Arial fonts at the form development and the ADS changes it to MS Mincho or MSP Gothic. These two character set was also installed to the ADS font directory. Is it possible to use one form for the English and Japanese version of the form or I have to develop another form to the Japanese form and set the baseline of all the characters? Does anybody have experience in this issue? Has anybody developed PDF-based form in Japanese language?
BR,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I faced exactly the same while adapting the standard PO-form.
Here's the solution:
If you copied the standard PO-form you'll probably find the following tag in your form's XML:
<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.1/?>
You should replace it by
<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.2/?>
Alternatively you can also check the compytibility settings in Lifecycle designer:
Menu "Edit/Form properties" switch to tab Compatibility:
Update textformatting and event model to the recommended version using the two buttons there.
This should actually do the job.
regards

1294146 - Problem translating rich texts in PDF based forms (Adobe)
Message was edited by: Manish Kumar

HI Lande,
There is nothing to delete. Here is what you should do:
Following procedure applies to both symptoms:
1. Open the corresponding form in the original language in change mode in Form Builder
2. Choose the Layout tab of Form Builder to open the form layout in Adobe Designer.
3. Identify and select the concerned text element in the layout so that it will be highlighted in the hierarchy tree of the Adobe Designer
4. Go to the XML Source tab of the Adobe Designer
              The XML source shows the section of the selected form element.
     5. Go to the appropriate <exData/> element and delete the occurrence of attributes
     xft-xliff:id or xliff:rid
6. Leave the XML source tab and save the changes.
7. Activate the form.

Ashvin
