PDF Print Forms - Date format

Hi Frnds,
This is my first time to work in PDF print forms.
I am using standard interface and program to print my PDF forms. The PDF form alone is customised.
I need to format my date as dd-mmm-yyyy. how can i do it?
can i call a subroutine from a Zprogram in the context or interface?
Can anyone help me to solve my issue? thanks a lot.
regards
Suganya.

Hi Frnds,
I got the date format solution.
But I need to know whether we can use the subroutine of the program inside the interface or PDF forms as like script.
I am using the std prgm RFKORD10_PDF and my customised PDF form. but i am getting an error as "Contradiction in form".
Can anyone help me to solve the error?
thank in adv

Why is there not an option to only print form data in Adobe XI?

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and saved it. Then I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then only print the form data but there is not an option to only print form data in Adobe Reader XI. I'm not sure if it is in the way I created the form or something else. Any help will greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Basically you need to place the file's contents on a non-printing layer. Try this:
Create a new blank file and open the Layers panel on the left.
Click the Options button and select Import As Layer.
Select your pre-existing PDF file (maybe save a copy of it without the form fields first and use that version).
Right-click the layer you created and select Properties. Change the layer's Print option to "Never Prints".
Now copy the fields from the other file and place them in their correct location on the page.
Save the file and you have a file that can be used to print only the form fields data, even in Reader.
This process can be automated, by the way, but that would require a script.

Urgent. Selections in PDF print forms

How to make selections in PDF print form and connect them with fields on the form?
For example, we get the number of a document and other attributes as IMPORT.
But we need to put out other data according to this number of the document(information) on the form. How to make it?
And how to make One body page print a few times (depending on the amont of positions in the document)?
HELP PLEASE.

1. Your interface, application program and form layout need to be modified accordingly. You can refer to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/4adf7ba13c4ac1b4600d4df15f8b84/frameset.htm">the documentation</a> on how to do this.
2. In the Designer, 'Restrict Page Occurences' on the Object > Master Pages properties for your master page.

Forwarding PDF Print-Forms

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to understand the printing process regarding simple PDF Print-forms.
I'm using the transaction PC00_M01_HRF, which generates me Renumeration Statements in PDF. If I press PRINT, the documents are stored in a spool job. Can you help me providing answers or documentation links that could help me on the following issues:
1) Where are this forms saved?
2) If this forms should be sent to an other printing center, what solutions are here seen?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
as for the source, I guess you can reach the template for the form in SFP using PAYSLIP as name, e.g. PYXXFO_SAP_PAYSLIP_DE_P. As for the output, I guess you can debug out this:
when calling the function module for the data passing to the form context (usually "CALL FUNCTION fm_name where fm_name is a variable with the right name according to the name you can get in SFP using F8) you can get data fp_form_out TYPE fpformoutput out of it. And inside this structure there are nodes PDF, PDL, XML, which you can use for "transfer" somewhere else to print it there.
I guess nobody will provide you the copmplete code how to do this. At least because I don´t understand why do you need such a thing. Maybe there is another solution, not that technical etc.
Good luck on this, Otto

Best Practice for PDF print forms based on SAP standard

Hi,
I have copied the SAP standard PDF form F_D_INT_SCALE_00 to a Z form, and am using it in conjunction with the standard print program RFDZIS01_PDF. However I need to output some additional fields that are not supplied by the print program / interface (for example Customer VAT number).
What is the best practice for achieving this? As far as I can see the only way is to take a copy of the standard print program and modify it to select the extra data, and modify the interface. I never like taking copies of standard programs though for obvious reasons.
If I had this requirement with a smartform it would be a simple case of embedding ABAP code into the Z smartform and leaving the print program alone, but unfortunately there is no provision for the non-PDF version of the Interest Letter to be sent by email.
Thanks in advance,
Vindaloo

Thanks for your reply Robert.
However I think you are referring to Smartforms when you mention Code Initialization and Global Data declarations. I need to know the best way to modify copies of standard Adobe Print Forms.

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.
regards,
tilak

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Aztec and other new barcodes inside PDF print forms

Hello!
Currently we have a form obligatory in communication with several banks in Russia. This form has Aztec barcode on it. Barcode is added using special virtual printer software (supporting only PCL output and working fine from Windows apps like Notepad, Office, etc.).
Now when trying to create the same form is SAP and print it from there (or from Adobe Reader) there's no barcode generated, cause SAP and Reader are sending data in RAW format.
Is it possible to extend the number of barcodes available in Adobe Designer (and on Adobe server of course) for development of print forms?
Regards,
Petr Perstnev

The answer is currently "No". Cause SAP delivers Adobe LiveCycle Designer ver. 8.0x as part of its solution. When SAP is going to support Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES (8.2 or later) than it will possibly become "Yes", cause ALD ES supports Aztec.
Correction: ALD ES (8.1 and later) supports Aztec only in the form of Hardware rendered barcode,
so special printer (Zebra or smth) is needed to print such bcodes.

Adobe Forms Date Format DD.MM.YYYY.

Hi Experts,
I am new to Adobe Forms(Transaction SFP) . The Client has requirement to display the data in DD.MM.YYYY format.
I saw that the standard 'Date fields' in ADOBE forms does not have this format.
Any Ideas.
Thanks.

Hi
Drag and drop the Date/Time Field from Library pallet into Layout. Right click on it -> Go to Palletes -> select Object -> go to the Field tab ->
In Display Pattern you simply specify the date format as DD.MM.YYYY and the active it and test it.
Try this once. It will work.
Thanks

XML FORMS - Date Format

Hi,
I have a problem that I am sure is just config, but when opening any xmlforms and displaying they only appear with american date format.
Has anyone changed this format, from what appears the standard?
Will award points for any help.
Thanks
Kai Chalker

Hi Kai,
You can create a custom property in KM and assign a different date format to it.
Then if u use that in your XML Forms, probably u can get the new date format.
In the Additional Metadata row of the KM Property u can enter
customFormat=dd-MMM-yyyy

Printing to a PDF printer form Word 2007-missing charts

Hi,
I have a word document in 2007. I have pasted 2 charts in it from EXcel 2007. when I try to print to the Adobe pdf printer , the charts dispaeepar..I know that you can SAve as pdf. but I trying to find the reason why? , please help thanks

Sometimes these problems appear due to MS, not just Acrobat so try trouble shooting there also. A first step is to check the print preview and also try to print a sample to paper. You did not indicate the Acrobat version. If it is AA ?.0, then you definitely need to update your Acrobat and that might resolve the problem.
WORD sometimes has problems if you link charts and such, so you might try a version of the WORD file with the charts totally embedded.

Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK
To define the formatting of date fields, use the SET DATE MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent date fields to be printed using the specified format.
Syntax:
/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'
In the date mask, you can use the following codes:
DD: day (two digits)
DDD: day name - abbreviated
DDDD: day name - written out in full
MM: month (two digits)
MMM: month name - abbreviated
MMMM: month name - written out in full
YY: year (two digits)
YYYY: year (four digits)
LD: day (formatted as for the L option)
LM: month (formatted as for the L option)
LY: year (formatted as for the L option)
All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'
&DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
&DATE& -> March 01, 1997
The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
The abbreviated and full forms of the names of the days and months are stored in the language dependent TTDTG table under the following keys:
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDD_dd: abbreviated day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDDD_dd: full form of day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMM_mm: abbreviated month name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMMM_mm: full form of month name
dd: day number 01 = Monday,..., 07 = Sunday
mm: month number 01 = January,..., 12 = December
