PDF Creation - how to return output to user?
I am using PDFLib to create dynamic pdfs. I'm having a hard time trying to return the pdf to the user. I tried using a ServletOutputStream but I keep getting an IllegalStateException. I believe this may be because I am already using a PrintWriter elsewhere in the same servlet. I would use the PrintWriter to try to accomplish this but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks...

Output type settings; print pdf from on the printer defined in user profile
Hi
I have a requirement where i should print the pdf form in the printer defined in user profile when i select save in MB1A transaction; I know this can be done by changing the output type cofiguratioin in the NACE transaction
Could any one please let me know step by step process on how to make changes in the nace transaction to print the form in the printer defined in user profile
Right now we are using a custom output type i tried changing the print parameter to 'S' and followed the sap documentation
in the sap help doc at last it says to check the table TNADR for the entries
but when i saw the table TNADR i couldnt find any entries related to ME application
It would be great if any one can explain in details regarding the changes in output type configuration , TNADR table and related stuff
thanksHi,
Just maintain the condition records in NACE transaction.
Just follow the steps...
1.Goto NACE transaction
2.Select the application for example for sales order 'V1' and then click on 'Condidtion Record' button
3.Double click on your Zoutput type.
4.U will may get radio button dialogbox/key combination.select anyone and click on ok button
5.U can see a selection screen..Fill all the filed/fileds.
6.Click on F8
7.A tabular control appers..fill it. select the mediem as 1(print output).U can see a 'communication' button over there..click on it.
8.Maintain ur own printer settings and click on SAVE button..
Actuallly Condition records contain the actual data against which the business rules are checked to propose an output. Using condition records, we can define Output types, transmission medium for the document type. So that we need not to give all the output parameters every time the document is to be printed. We use the condition records for automatic printing of Invoices when we save it.
It maintains a key combination to process the output automatically whenever a system finds the entry/entries with that key combination. We maintain the values in the condition records only.
Hope it is useful...

How to return a pdf (iText) file using Portlet?
Dear all,
I want to know how to return a pdf file using iText API via Portlet.
I can manage to return a pdf file through a standalone servlet, but I don't have idea of how to generate a pdf file via Portlet.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Welcome to my blog at www.xanga.com/georgelkhHello,
that is easy. In your driver program, please check the inputs of the job/ generator function modules.
You provide GETPDF = 'X' attribute what will make the FM not to print the form or display the preview but to return the binary stream of the PDF data (type FPCONTENT) what is a RAW or something. Next look for the PDF output parameter to get the returned binary data and send it as you wish through JCo.

Why did you not explain how to return a filled form via pdf file?
Why is there no explanation on how to return form via pdf file?'
Unfortunately, because IRS forms are XFA forms, the flattenPages method that the tool Gilad mentioned won't work, and neither will Preflight or PDF Optimizer.
You can fill-in and save the form with Acrobat or Reader, open it in Preview, and select: File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF
or "Save as Adobe PDF" for that last step. You may have to fiddle with the scaling to get it right. -

It is certainly a good point that, if they need the files separately, and don't even know how to use Acrobat to split it themselves, it might lead one to question their expertise in the PDF field.

How to send output of a print to a single pool in smartforms
Hi,
when iam taking a an out put from the invoice all the output has to be send to a single pool .means if we give an invoice number in vf03 and issue the output and if we choose print then it will directly got to spool.but requirement is to store all the spool numbers on application server and finall we have to convert all these into single pdf and then we have to print that.
can any body tell me where to store these spool numbers and how we can send at a time to print
help me pleases
sasiHi Sasi,
Check the following:
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request as a PDF File
Use
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a PDF file to a directory of your choice, and print the file as required. The PDF file contains the print data in the format in which it would be output by the printer.
The following procedure is irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since a PDF file is already returned. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
Procedure
The PDF file is generated as follows with report RSTXPDFT4:
1. Generate a spool request from the document to be printed.
2. In transaction SE38, start report rstxpdft4.
3. In the displayed window, enter the spool request number and the directory in which the PDF file is to be stored.
Leave the Download PDF File option selected.
Choose Execute.
4. In the next window, you can confirm or change the path in which the file is be stored.
Save your entries.
5. The system displays a log from which you can see whether the report was successfully performed.
You can then open the file from the directory and print it as required.
Constraints· The PDF conversion only supports true bar codes for Smart Forms, which were generated with the new bar code technology. In all other cases, the bar code is only simulated.
· PDF conversion, especially of ABAP lists, is slower and is therefore not suitable for mass printing. However, you can speed up the conversion to PDF using the FASTLISTCONV option in report RSTXPDF3.
· The font selection for ABAP lists is predefined in the PDF converter and cannot be changed.
For more information about constraints, see SAP Note 323736 in the SAP Service Marketplace.
For further reference check the SAP documentation...

ME23N Script convert to PDF and send thru mail to the user created by
Hi,
I have created a custom PO SAP scirpt for the tcode ME23N and configured the same in tcode NACE Application 'EF' , output type 'NEU'
But the client requirement is to send this SAP Scipt PO converted to pdf & then send thru email to the user who created PO (ME23N)?
How do u get this functionality please let me know?
Regards,
AnilHello,
that is easy, you only need to keep the steps to do in mind:
1) find a suitable point to place in your code to do all this for you
2) create a FM that will convert your form into PDF (search a little, this has been done like zillion times here)
3) create a FM that will send the PDF stream (hex data which is accepted by the BCS class as the attachment data)
4) check the email customizing in your system
5) run and enjoy
All the parts has been done here many times, shouldn´t be a problem.

Telnet portlet not returning info to user, but receiving commands
Hello,
We are having some problems receiving data from the server in the telnet portlet. When a command is issued such as 'ls', nothing is returned to the user. The command is being received by the server because when you create a file and then check to see if the create file command was run, you will see a new file created. So the problem seems to be that the portlet is not able to read the info sent by the server.
When you reload the portal page you get null errors returned in the portlet.
In Mozilla the following browser error appears - document.cmdForm.userText has no properties.
In IE the following browser error appears - document.cmdForm.userText is null or not an object.
Has anyone had this same problem? Any insight on how to fix this???
Thanks in advance,
julia.I am experiencing exactly the same problem.
Did anyone ever find a solution?
The telnet portlet logs me in and I am able to run commands but cannot see any output from the portlet. For example if I create a directory via the telnet portlet and check on the server terminal I can see it has been created, but if I do an ls command via the portlet nothing is displayed on screen.
The portlet was installed on 9ias v9.0.2.0.3, PDK v9.0.2.6.2 and Solaris 5.8 -
How can I output a slideshow so that it fills 16:9 tv screen?
When I output a slideshow to a wmv file I want to burn the file in 16:9 format to play on HD widescreen TV. I cannot view it without bars on sides. How can I output so that slideshow will be border less?
Search for .prx files on your computer and then select them from the Slide Size drop down. e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\Assets\locale\en_US\tv_profiles\12 - Widescreen Enhanced Definition.prx.
During the creation of the slide show you can still only work within a 4:3 portion of the screen, but selecting a 16:9 size will output without the vertical bars.
Cheers,
Neale

Get pdf creation by using pdf javascript
Hello all,
Can I ask how can I get the pdf creation/ last modify date by using pdf javascript?
Many Thanks
Sunnythis.creationDate and this.modDate have both been superseded by this.info property. These commands have not been eliminated but they are candidates for a future dropping.
I would use
this.info.CreationDate
and
this.info.ModDate
Unless the user is using Acrobat 3 or 4.
A universal approach for all versions could be:
CreationDate = "";
ModDate = "";
if(app.viewerVersion < 5) {
// versions below version 5
CreationDate = this.creationDate;
ModDate = this.modDate;
} else {
// versions 5 and above;
CreationDate = this.info.CreationDate;
ModDate = this.info.ModDate;
app.alert("Viewer version: " + app.viewerVersion +
"\nCreation date: " + CreationDate +
"\nModification date: " + ModDate, 3, 0);
