No Data in PDF file in FTP server

Hi All,
I am trying to place a PDF file in FTP server.
Used
CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert spool to PDF
SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
FTP_R3_TO_SERVER to transfer data to FTP.
I am able to see PDF file in FTP and no of pages matches with that of R/3 but there is no data in PDF file.

To get pdf file , you need to set the itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' and need to pass in the exporting parameter (options in open_form function module ).Then in close_form function module take all the data of otfdata table into an internal table . Then use SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF function module to convert it to pdf.
I will show with an example.
tables itcpo.
DATA: ch_otf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo.
DATA: w_otf TYPE itcoo.
DATA: w_pdf TYPE solisti1. "For PDF
DATA: i_content_txt TYPE soli_tab.

        temp2 TYPE sx_format VALUE 'PDF'.

        i_objhead TYPE soli_tab.
itcpo-tdnoprint = 'X'.
itcpo-tdpreview = 'X'.

These three parameters need to be passed along with other required parameters

How to remove the extra space in the output pdf file?

Hi All
In our RTF layout template we have both static content and dynamic content.
In RTF template we have used many if-else,choose,For each loops.
On the account of that,In the output pdf file, we are getting lot of empty space in the place of that coding(if-else,choose,For each loops).
Is there anyway to reduce the space in the output pdf file?
Please suggest some ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

White space is NOT your friend!
Make sure you don't have any unwanted whitespace between commands and especially tagged on the end of lines. Chain your commands together with no whitespace and let them wrap, do not enter carriage returns.
Cheers,
Dave

PDF files on FTP will not open correctly

Our PDF files open fine from local hard disks, and http locations. However, We are having trouble opening PDF files from a FTP server. After double-clicking on the file, the Adobe 'grey' background loads, and nothing else. At first time it opened fine in all computers, but afterwards it will not open. If we download the files from the server, the same file opens fine. We have tried in different OS like XP, Windows 7, windows 8 with different browsers. same problems occurred.
In all cases, the installed adobe reader was Adobe Reader 9 and above(9, 10&11). After we got one solution that to disable "Protected mode" in reader settings. If we disable protected mode, it is fine.
But the issue is, we have to provide those PDf files to our customers through our website. So we cannot disable it in customer's pc. Any alternate solution for this problem?
Why this problem occurs? How we can overcome from this error?

I cannot reproduce this problem with Reader 11.0.2 in Firefox 20.0.1 or IE8 on Windows XP (Protected Mode enabled).
The document I am accessing is ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/5.x/enu/reader.pdf
I have no problems access it mutliple times.

How to get the output .pdf file of a quiz to report to the quiz results analyzer on my internal server (mamp)

I created a quiz.
Created an internal server on my compute rising a MAMP.
When I publish my quiz using the multi-file publishing options...
I am able to use both the "HTML" and the "swf" output files to complete a quiz and reporting the results to the quiz results analyzer.
However, I am unable to get the output .pdf field to reporting to the quiz results analyzer.
Any help? Would this issue have to do with the Acrobat Professional setting? Captivate setting? My internal server setting? or output fuel placement?
I tired to put the .pdf file in the same MAMP root folder location as my "internalserverreporting.php and internalserverread.php files.
Thanks for the help.

Hello Varun,
You cqan submit the report as a JOB and export the out put to memory, once the job is complete you can read the list to display the output.
Cheers,
Mano
Cut & Paste form SAP help.
Submit report ....
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
Does not display the output list of the called report, but saves it in ABAP memory and leaves the called report immediately. Since the calling program can read the list from memory and process it further, you need to use the addition ... AND RETURN . Also, since the called report cannot be requested for printing, the addition ... TO SAP-SPOOL is not allowed here. In addition, you must not assign a function code to the ENTER key in the current GUI status. The saved list is read from the SAP memory using the function module 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' and can then be saved to the database using EXPORT, for example. You can process this list further with the function modules 'WRITE_LIST', 'DISPLAY_LIST' ... of the function group "SLST".

How to output PDF files in a crystal Report

Hello,
I've some data stored in a database, they are PDFs files data.
How can I include them in a report
For example
I've a Table
MyTABLE with 2 Cols (Name STRING, data byte[]) (in fact it's a .NET/DataSet)
I would like to display the content of my table in a CR
I can include a static PDF in my report, but not a variable one.
Can anyone Help Me ?
Thanks
Marc

Something I don't understand here. PDF vs. .NET Dataset.
If the data is in a .NET Dataset; (in fact it's a .NET/DataSet)
Then all you should need to do is;
crReportDocument.Database.Tables(0).SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables("NAME_OF_TABLE"))
or
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet)
or
crReportDocument.SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables(0))
How the dataset is created or what is behind the dataset should not be of any consequence. To ensure you get the fresh data, either don't enable the "Saved Data" option, or use .Refresh in your code.

There are two ways to look at what error the PLSQLBLOB API is throwing.
1) Call your PLSQLBLOB API GNE_PO_CREATE_FILE_ATTACHMENT.Gne_Create_File_Attachment directly from a PLSQL block and verify that it returns the BLOB data successfully.
You could also call another WF API that in turn executes the PLSQLBLOB API internally. For example,
<pre>
declare
l_document blob;
l_doctype varchar2(240);
l_aname varchar2(90);
begin
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_document, true, dbms_lob.Session);
-- 207046 - This is the notification id of your failed workflow
-- PO_REPORT - Document type attribute
-- 'text/html' - Content Type being generated for
Wf_Notification.GetAttrBLOB(207046, 'PO_REPORT', 'text/html', l_document, l_doctype, l_aname);
-- Print the size of the document here to verify it was fetched correctly
end;
</pre>
2) Turn on log for SYSADMIN user with following attributes.
Log Enabled = TRUE
Log Level = ERROR
Log Module = wf.plsql%
Restart the Workflow Deferred Agent Listener and Workflow Notification Deferred Agent Listener and run your workflow process. Search for log messages written for above context and you can identify the error at wf.plsql.WF_XML.GetAttachment module with message starting as "Error when getting BLOB attachment ->"
Hope this helps.

Need to view concurrent request output(pdf file of XML report)from OAFpage

Hi,
I am submitting a concurrent request from OA page (on click of submit button).
As of now, to view output of the request user has to open SRS form.
Now the rquirement is to submit the request as well as to open the output file of the request in one action(i.e. on click of submitbutton) instead of going to SRS form to view output.
From the forum, I found out the way to go to request monitoring page and view all the current requests. But this is something different from what I am looking for.
Can somebody help m in this case?
Thanks & Regards
Nitin

Any control over page size when outputting PDF files?

Is there any way to control page size in the Book creation section (currently 8.5 x 11) or to control the final output page size when printing to PDF? I'd like to create some 10x10 pages (so I can print 10x10 photos) using the excellent Aperture book/album layout features.

It looks like this has been discussed in previous posts... I did find a nice workaround though which allows us to make pages with usable dimensions for going to photo printing...other than the 8.5x11 offered by aperture .

Printing a PDF document to virtual PDF printer converts text to image in output PDF-file

When I "print" any regular PDF document to a PDF virtual printer, it always converts a source regular (textual) PDF document into an image only document. It applies even to pure plain text documents (say, HTML source code etc.)
(I often need to create a PDF document from the existing PDF. Yes, I know, it might seems quite pointless, but actually it makes sense.)
Thus I have 2 questions:
1) Is such sonvertion normal or I do anything wrong myself?
2) It is by design, is there any woraround to prevent conveting text to image?
Many thanks in advance!

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

Unable to read PDF files created by FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am unable to read pdf files generated by FTP Adapter with its default settings.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed with it. I guess I need to change something in encoding mechanism in FTP Adapter Outbound Connection Pool, but not sure what has to be.
Thanks,
Richa

Hi all,
I have got its solution. I was unable to read .pdf files because FTP adapter was sending the files just by changing the extension from .txt /.xml to .pdf that is the reason that it was not readable.
We had to write an java code to convert .xml file to .pdf file and then paas it to FTP ADapter.
Thanks
