PDF form slow generation

Hello
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.3.x.
I developed a form of contract consisting of 4 pages. Also this form contains one logo on each page and some text with dynamic text elements (about 15 totally). Unfortunately the PDF form is generated too slowly. I tried to find which form element was a reason of such slow performance and didn't find it. It seems that the form is generated so slowly, because it's too long (if 4 pages can be considered to be long form). Has anybody faced to such problem?
Thank you in advance!

You may be facing a different issue all together ...to validate can you save the form from Designer as an XDP and tell us what the size of the file is?

Converting spool request into PDF forms

Hi gurus
i am working on upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. Business had the functionality developed in 4.6C to " Convert the spool request into PDF forms and can be downloaded into local PC".
Moving to ECC 6.0, is there any standard functionality available in ECC 6.0 to "Convert spool request to PDF forms and download"?
Any help towards this is appreciable.
Thanks

Is it possible to download pdf from spool in smallest form

Hi Gurus,
our customer wants a report that has many columns, so I create a report with line size 1023. But also they want to download it to a pdf form, so I send the report to spool and download it to pdf form by running standard report RSTXPDFT4. But pdf form takes only little part of the report, many columns can't seen in it. Is there any way to take it in smallest font or any other thing that I can take all the columns or print columns in other page??
thanks..

Hi,
Implement SAP note #1226758. Ensure that you make the setting below in SPAD as decribed in the note:
'SP01: Number of Columns for List Display from Format'.
This should ensure that the wide format is used for the PDF also.

Aidan

PDF form generation on Webdynpro Application

Hi
I have an ABAP Webdynpro application with 8 tabs. As per the functionality, all the data entered by the user on these 8 screens has to be displayed in a PDF form as well as in an excel sheet in a defined format. Also the Adobe Lifecycle Designer is not available. How can this requirement be implemented.
One way is to use the smart form Object and integrate it with Webdynpro.
Please suggest how can such a functionlity be achieved.

Hi Smriti,
Are you using an ALV grid in your application? if so, there should be a 'Print version' button that, when ADS is configured correctly, should produce the PDF version of the Document.
Read these two blog entries:

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)
PARAMETERS : p_spono LIKE tsp01-rqident.
DATA: pdf_data type FPCONTENT.
types: lt_pdf_table(1000) type x.
data: l_pdf_data type standard table of lt_pdf_table,
       l_pdf_line type lt_pdf_table,
       l_offset type i,
       l_len type i,
       p_file(100) VALUE '\sapout\DVH\pdf2.pdf'.
*Read the spool content
CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_CREATE_PDF_FROM_SPOOL'
    EXPORTING
         i_spoolid = p_spono
         i_partnum = '1'
    IMPORTING
           e_pdf = pdf_data
*         e_pdf_file = file
    EXCEPTIONS
         ads_error = 1
         usage_error = 2
         system_error = 3
         internal_error = 4
    OTHERS = 5.
* Modify the spool contents to prepare internal table
l_len = xstrlen( pdf_data ).
while l_len >= 1000.
    l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(1000).
    append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
    add 1000 to l_offset.
    subtract 1000 from l_len.
endwhile.
if l_len > 0.
    l_pdf_line = pdf_data+l_offset(l_len).
    append l_pdf_line to l_pdf_data.
endif.
* GUI DOWNLOAD Works Fine
* Now pdf contents is ready , lets store in local PC
*CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
* EXPORTING
*   filename                        = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\shital.pdf'
*   filetype                        = 'BIN'
* TABLES
*    data_tab                        = l_pdf_data.
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID '00' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '398' WITH 'sy-subrc:' sy-subrc
          ' Error opening file:'(Z03) p_file.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT l_pdf_data INTO l_pdf_line.
TRANSFER l_pdf_line TO p_file.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID '00' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '398' WITH 'sy-subrc:' sy-subrc
          ' Error closing file:'(Z04) p_file.
ENDIF.
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.

Shital

How to get the output of a standard report RFBILA00 in PDF form.

hi,
I have to get the output of the standard report RFBILA00 in the PDF form.
Thanks.

Hi Rao,
you can run your report RFBILA00 in background and in background job you can add one more step, next in that step you can add custom report like zsubmit .
job should be set like
step1: RFBILA00 with variant.
Step2: zsubmit report with variant.
In Zsubmit report you can read, your first step spool using FM GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
and pass that spool in the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when second report run in job you can set your target like download in the server or send email etc.

Prasenjit

Need help on smartform spool generation for payslips

Hi Experts,
My development of Payslip form is done, its all fine.
Here is some clarification I need on the spool generation:
First time I run the program for 2 employees, I get 2 pages one for each employee, as expected.
When I again run the program for 2 employees, 2 pages are added to the same spool request.
My requirement is to create a new spool when the program is executed for the next time. I have tried setting NO_OPEN and NO_CLOSE in control parameters and also I have tried with several output option settings. I have also tried using FMs SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE. But no luck so far.
Please note that this is HR Payslip hence the smartform is being called inside the GET PERNR loop.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here you can find the list of preconditions in order for Spool system to append to existing spool. Setting TDNEWID suggested by Nick will work and is the best solution if you wish to have each document in own spool. If you wish to have spool per job, you'd have to ensure that just the first document is output with TDNEWID set. You can also ensure spool separation by outputing the last document of the job by setting TDFINAL print parameter. Or you can ensure that spools will always be assigned a unique Title...
cheers

Waiting for solution.

How to return fillable pdf form via distribute function in live cycle?

I am trying to have a fillable form be submitted back/returned by e-mail (through using outlook)to multiple users, via the distribute form function through livecycle, so that they know a pdf form has been completed and sent back and that I can place the information in the dataset as well (in case I need to export the info). Currently the distribute function only accepts it going to one e-mail, even if I seperate the e-mails with a ";". How do I have the form e-mail multiple users and allow me to place the form field data go into a dataset via distribution?

I tried it and I am seeing what you are seeing. If I send to a single user then it works fine. I think it might be outlook blocking the multi-address through programmatic interfaces. They do this so that viruses cannot turn your mail client into a spam generation. This is simply a guess.

How to print a PDF form content when i have the content

Hi SAPGURUS,
I have an urgent requirement.
I have the content of a PDF form in raw format and it is saved in some repositry .Now How can i create a spool request and print the form.
I can use the function module FP_JOB_OPEN and then gat the dynamic function module name and then close it by FP_JOB_CLOSE .
But as i already have the PDF form content i need not create it again by calling the dynamic function module.And i can't do so because both applications are altogether separate from each other that is creation of the PDF form and printing it.
Could you help me in guiding the way to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Sanjeev

Hi Sanjeev,
I have currently the same issue, please have you solved it?

Pdf forms and web applications

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms in web application such as simple html forms?
As a part of the web application written in php, we have large html forms for collecting data.
pdf reports must be generated based on data entered in forms.
So, 1 filled in form = 1 pdf report. Generating large pdf files from scratch with php script is not fun, and I'd like to figure out if there is some way to use pdf forms created in Adobe LifeCycle as html forms.
So, we would like to publish pdf forms created in LifeCycle as a part of web application, where users fill in this form and in some way we pass form data to php script (upon form submit) for saving it in database and load data back to pdf form once user decides to edit it.
Once form is filled in completely we'd like to print it (and maybe save as separate pdf file containing all filled data).
Please advice, is there any solution for doing something like this, or maybe some other suggestions about simple pdf generation & forms handling in case described above?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Yours is not a feature request. It is a question about the functionality of the Livecycle Designer product. Please repost in that forum.

Ipad app that will fill in pdf form and capture signature with stylus

Hello. I am looking for an application which will allow me to read, edit and fill out pdf forms AND capture a signature on the pdf form with a stylus. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently am using an ipad, second generation.

hullo there, i would personally recommend writepdf, i use this myself and you can do all of the above more or less, you can also create customized signatures and insert them into pdfs. i think what i like even more about writepdf is that you can directly edit docs, anyway, definitely look for it on the app store!
