PDF document to SAP SPOOLER:

Hello everyone,
There are many many examples of objects outputted to PDF. ALV lists, grids, and also SAP Spooler.
Has anyone run across a way to send a pdf to SAP spooler to print out? I know that
Adobe Forms is currently doing this in some manor.
Is it possible to customize that functionality?
Thanks for any help on this.
Steve

I am not an expert, but I hope it will help you:
1) SAP is able to convert ABAP lists and OTF documents (sapscript, smart form) into PDF binary, but it is not able to send this binary to printers. PDF1 device is a converter but I think it can't be used with printers. PDF conversion is only used to create files, attach PDF to mails, and so on.
2) SAP sends documents to printers by first converting them into PCL, PS, Prestige, etc. PDF is not used.
So I think that printing directly a PDF by sending it to a printer is not possible: it must be first converted to PCL, PS, etc. For that, you may use softwares like Ghostscript...

Sharing and displaying Excel and pdf documents in SAP BO Mobile

Hello all,
I have one quick question. Is it possible to share excel and pdf documents through SAP BO Mobile?
I tried it uploading documents to BO Launch pad and assigning them to Mobile category. I can't see them in my ipad. Is there another way to share these kind of files through SAP Mobile in mobile devices? and how?
Thanks.

No that won't do it. Because my users have their own excels which are not related to BO or BW platforms. They are entering data manually to excel spreadsheets and reporting. We just want to upload them to BO platform and let them share those files with other users.
I know I could create a webi report on top of excel, but we don't want to spend redoing the reports in excel.
Thanks though.

Printing existing PDF-File via SAP-Spool

Hi to all,
I'm looking for a solution to print existing PDF-Files (external Directory) via SAP-Spool, in order to create a set of documents in correct succession, where some of them are created within SAP and others beeing created externally (PDF-Files).
We use NW7.0 and have AdobeDocumentServices activated.
I don't want to create PDF-Files out of SAP-Spool-Requests.
Thank you for any helpful hint.
Best Regards
Christian

Thanks for this, having a look through at the moment, just one question do I have to install this SDK just to automatically print an existing PDF document from a 3rd party application when I have only the Reader installed?
Thanks

How to read the data from a PDF document into SAP

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to read a PDF document from my desktop and get the data into SAP but i am not getting successful.
I am using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload and passing the filename and type and importing the file length and the data into an internal table.
I tried the file type as ASC but i couldn't get any records in the internal table and the filelength is displayed as 0.
When i tried the file type as BIN, it is giving the short dump. I guess that is because the file i am trying to read is not with the extension BIN.
Please Advice me on this

Insert/Embedding PDF documents to SAP Adobe forms

Hi all,
We have a requirement to insert/embed an external PDF documents to an SAP Adobe Form.
Please provide pointers in this regard.
Thanks,
Sandhya

I would think the common sense approach would be to upgrade to ECC 6 first then migrate your forms.
This seems to be just another step in the upgrade process.
We went from 4.7 to ECC 6, but only had Smartforms and SAPScripts. We wound up just re-creating the forms directly in Adobe.

Download the pdf document from sap server

Hi,
I uploaded the pdf document as MIME type in mime browser. I have a requirement to open this document when I click on the button. How could we achieve this ? I appreciate your help.

1.You could use offline intractive form to display PDF.
2. use
cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
    i_filename = file_name
    i_content   = lv_content
    i_mime_type = mime_type
    i_in_new_window = abap_true
    i_inplace       = abap_false ).

Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

Convert SAP spool output to PDF

I have created program running in background to convert SAP spool output to PDF using function CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF .
It has been working fine untill I have SAP spool contained > 99 pages. It has a dialog pop up asking to run it in background.
If I clicked YES, the function generated another background job and another spool.
Also the returned table PDF contained no data.
But it is ok when click NO. The program can generate PDF file.
My problem is I want to set this program as job, so it will not generate PDF file when SAP spool contained > 99 pages.
Has anyone experienced about this problem? or know how to convert to PDF from SAP spool (>99 pages)?
Thank you in Advance.

Hi,
Use the FM convert_otfspooljob_2_pdf
see this link for example Re: Download in PDF format
"Do not use CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF for script or Smartforms

Printing a pdf document

Hi,
I want to print a PDF document from SAP. I am able to suck the document into memory but I have no way to convert it to something that is printable. Though SAP offers ways to convert from a sap script / smart form to a PDF there doesnt seem to be a reverse process. Does anyone know of a way, without using system commands, to print this document?
thanks,
Roger

Printout a PDF document

Hi together,
perhaps anybody have an idea: I need to print out pdf documents within SAP. The PDF files are attached to the order document and are stored in the archive.
I know that it give professional solutions to print different document formats. But I think it must give a function module (or different function modules) which can read the PDF from SAP archive and print it on a PostScript Printer.
Any idea? Thank for your help.
