PDF upload through Workflow

Hi All,
case 1:
is there any possibility to upload a pdf to an intranet through workflow?
Case 2:
when we upload a data in the excel or pdf, corresponding table should be get updated through workflow!
pointers to this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Dinesh

Hi,
In a background activity step you do it. And if the path has to be given by the user then identify the path in a background step and
send that to a method where you want to upload.
If you want to go ahead using portal, the link that process through a Webdynpro application and upload it.
Hope this would help to solve your issue.

How to Send mail woth pdf attachment through workflow

Hi SDNer's,
I have a problem with pdf attachment through workflow. Please anybody help me to get solve my issue.

Hi Suresh,
I just tried this thing in my systtem and it is working... BADI is trigerred everytime there is a change in the PO... even when you release there is a change in the PO so this BADI will be triggerred....
I suggest you should implement BADI in your dev system and place a break point in the POST method...
After that create a PO and release it using ME29N... thereafter when you save the PO... this method will trigger and you will have access to PO details...
PS: Remember this BADI wont work for transaction ME29...

Hi-
You need to convert the smartform's OTF data to PDF and then create a SOFM instance. Now bind this SOFM instance to workflow container 'ATTACH_OBJECTS' in your email step and your smartform will be showed as a PDF attachment

How to convert document file in PDf format through workflow using sharepoint designer

Please suggest me solution it's urgent.....please.

Hi Anil,
If Word Automation Services is installed in your environment then that may be an option (Providing you are only interested in converting MS-Word documents). However SharePoint does not ship with an out-of-the-box workflow activity that makes use of this.
You may want to consider some third party software that supports formats other than MS-Word as well and comes with workflow actions for SharePoint Designer (and Nintex Workflow) out of the box. Have a look at the
Muhimbi PDF Converter for SharePoint.
Disclaimer, I worked on this product so I am obviously biased. (It works great though :-)

I can't seem to upload PDF files through Firefox 5.0

I have not been able to upload a PDF file through Firefox 5.0. This has occurred with two different websites. It appears from the error messages that the file is not being identified as a PDF file, but is labelled something else. DOCX files are uploaded appropriately, but I must use PDF also. Thanks.

Thanks Murray for getting back to me!
I've been using DW CS4 since Dec. 2010 to design and upload the store site with no problems until this past week.
I update the site once a month, during the last couple of weeks I've used DW to design 2 new pages, but this past week when I went to upload the pages I noticed the remote view was different. The remote view did show the 2 new files, including pictures, but not all the other files that I normally see, including the index file.
Plus, there are folders I didn't see before, CGI, DropBox and about 6 others.
On the 2nd pg. of the main site, I put a link to past editions, the URL looks like this... http://www.landmarkantiques.com/July2011.html
I can't think of anything I might have done to cause the change, so I'm at a loss as to why and what might have caused it.
I have DW CS5 that I have not installed, and I'm a little worried about making that transition since this has happened.
I appreciate your taking your time to look in to this for me!

Attaching and sending a pdf file to hr admin through workflow

Dear all,
         I am new to workflows and working on time management module in HR .I have to work on an leave request issue where in ESS the employee should 'attach the medical certificate' if the sick leave is more than 2 days.
        The workflow is already been created but the one thing i need to work on is attaching the medical certificate and send it to the Hr admin.
        I am checking for the condition whether it is sick leave or/not then sending the mail to hr admin to approve.
        In the mail the object type that i have declared is selfitem and the method is SENDTASKDESCRIPTION .
        The object type given as SOFM in the resulttype tab in the above method .
       How to attach?And in what way the file can be attached?
      Kindly send me the solution in steps.
       please do the needful.

bhavani

Hi Karri
Thanks for the input regarding the newer version. I'll work on it.
Yes, I am using the SAp_WAPIATTACHMENTADD to attach the PDF into an workitem, through a custom BO method i have created for the requirement.
But issue is with how to attach a PDF to the workflow at the instance of WF trigger, so that i can pass it on to the WI through the BO method.

How to get the Attachment of a pdf file throug workflow,...

Hi,
I have attached pdf the file to the ESS and written the code in webdynrpo. How can I get the file attachment in MSS through Workflow? This attachment should be displayed in the User Decision Activity. Could any one Help me on this issue....?
Thanks & Regards
Kannan

Hi,
1. From WebDynpro applicaiton once you create a PDF in the application you can get back the Xstring of PDF into the context of the workflow,
2. Now pass this xstring to workflow container. I assume you might be starting the workflow from Webdynpro application.
4. Create class method or a BOR and include a method. From that method do the respective coding that is mentioned in the document.
3. Once you have the PDF xstring in the workflow container you can attach the PDF document to user decision step as mentioned in the [document|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/60ff6ad3-729b-2b10-6582-fedc82680a29]

Hi,
GP does not involve any sort of coding.
Just like workflow, GP has a flow desgined in a process.
Each step has a callable object associated with it.

now i want to get that file from server location and show it only on Browser.. Not storing in database, justing putiing in folder at server location.

Unique ID during upload through WebADI integrator

Hi All,
Is there any unique ID generated for each upload through a custom Integrator (similar to fnd_global.conc_request_id for concurrent programs)?
Thanks,
Sumanth

JE,
Normally we use row id or integration id for this, we populate this value in the external id field (for the records created manually) so that we can do bulk update. My personal experience is row id's are more reliable than integration id's and it has always worked for me :) (my technical team also prefers to use the row id for WS as this value cannot be changed). What kind of linking problem did your people face by using row id?
If you are looking for some other unique single value identifier, I dont think any other than row id, integration id and external unique id exists. Else you need to go with “On Demand predefined fields” option (First Name, Last Name, Email, Work Phone # for contact records).

Opening a pdf file through form 10g

Dear all,
I have requirement to open a pdf file through my form application.
Ho will i do this?
What is the procedure to do this??
Please help me.
Regards

Can you tell me where the pdf can be found. Through a webserver or inside the database or is the pdf somewhere else?
If the pdf is available through an url you could use web.show_document which can open the url/pdf document in a new browser window.
If the pdf is inside the database you could download the pdf to the client using webutil and then open the pdf document using a host command.
If the pdf is inside the database or by a url you can also use a forms bean. I've used forms bean bean to unload a pdf from the database and show it inside the forms application. Most important when using a forms bean is that the bean component can show all the fonts which are used inside the pdf. There are some free solutions which can not show i.e. bar codes. The are also some paid components which will do the trick.

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

You should be able to just place them in your Books library in iTunes and check to ensure that your Book library is configured to sync to your iPod when you sync your iPod to iTunes.
