PDF binary sent to server each roundtrip?!

Hi all,
I'm on NW CE 7.11, integrating WDJ with SIFbA.
I would really appreciate some help on the following problem:
in my application we have 2 views, accessed in sequence by users.
View 1 displays ("usepdf" mode) a PDF retrieved from db.
View 2 allows users to perform search on backend and so on.
The problem is that at each server roundtrip the binary is sent to the server, even when View 1 is no longer visible.
As a consequence, when in view 2 a very simple interaction has to take place, the whole binary from view 1 is sent to the server as well.
This is a major performance issue with large binaries (~1mb).
I would like to tell the framework to send the PDF to server only when really necessary
How can this be done?
Thanks regards
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,
If you haven't tried it already you can use the setting "Allow Form Rendering to be Cached on Server". This is found on the form properties on the Performance tab. This will improve performance as the form does not need to be rendered for each round trip, however I don't believe that it prevent the round trip altogether. You may want to post this on the WDJ forum as well.
Let us know how you go.
Regards,
Ben.

Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:
1) the user requests a report
2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user
Thanks a lot

PrintOutputController.export, get the byte stream, save on server.

Read PDF Formatted Spool and write PDF File to Application Server

Hi Experts,
After ECC 6.0, HR-W2 and W2C Form Spools are getting generated in PDF format.
We have a requirement wherein we want to read the PDF Spool Programatically and write the PDF file to Application server (Using OPEN DATASET and CLOSE DATASET)

Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

You can't tranfer the whole PDF data with just one transfer statement, instead you have to loop that table and transfer the data to the file until you reach the last row.

View the pdf stored in content server

Hello,
Can I open a pdf available in content server from web? This web based application is non SAP aaplication.
The content server is connected to my SAP system and by using FM ALINK_RFC_DOCUMENTS_GET I get the required link. I am not sure how can I open this link from ouside SAP system( in SAP system pfd can be open using FM OBJECT_DISPLAY_CONNECTIONS).
I have also gone through the below SAP link also but no luck.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9b/e8c18ceaf811d195580000e82deb58/frameset.htm
Thank you,
Bhavana

Hi
I'm not sure you can use this URL outside your SAP System and open it without providing any kind of security credentials.
Anyway what you could do is use ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET to get your PDF in binary format and compose it in your Web Application

How can I force Mail to ask me to choose outgoing server each time I send an email?

I work for 3 different companies and I have 3 different mail accounts in my Mail for each of them. It happens to me very often that my email is sent from the wrong account, causing me a lot of trouble. This is of course my human mistake, but I want to limit this and would like to know if there is an option to force Mail to ask me for mail server each time I send an email?

Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Account/Account Information - try checking use only this server.
If that doesn't work properly, select the server, click Edit SMTP Server List and set up the server with your e-mail address so each one is named differently. Test.

Send PDF form to FTP server folder

I am not sure if this is possible, but one of my clients wants it, so I'm checking. They have a PDF form set up that currently sends the attachment via the user's email program. My client doesn't like that. So they want it to when a user fills out the PDF and submits it, the filled out PDF is sent to an FTP folder they can access. Is it possible to send a PDF to a specified FTP folder? If so, what all would be needed?
Thanks

Not possible. You can submit to a web server, which can then save the file somewhere, but this would involve some programming.

Hi,
is the next part of the code correct.
What i mean is packing of the attachment, finding out the size of pdf file and doc type as PDF.
You can also try below link..

No Data in PDF file in FTP server

Hi All,
I am trying to place a PDF file in FTP server.
Used
CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool to PDF
SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer data to FTP.
I am able to see PDF file in FTP and no of pages matches with that of R/3 but there is no data in PDF file.

To get pdf file , you need to set the itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' and need to pass in the exporting parameter (options in open_form function module ).Then in close_form function module take all the data of otfdata table into an internal table . Then use SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF function module to convert it to pdf.
I will show with an example.

Download PDF file from APP server!

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.
Thanks.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.
   ( it will download / upload any kind of file from app server)
2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.
regards,
amit m.
