Print adobe form in ME9A giving different layout

Hi all,
In ME9A to print the Request for Quotation, I seems to get different layout when I click the following:
Check the which form to print-> Output Message (a popup box asking to print) ->OK (still giving me old version from layout)
Using another method,
Check which form to print-> Display Message ( the form being previewed here) ->click print (give me the layout I wanted)
What is wrong with clicking the Output Message to print? Any idea? Thanks in advance. (Note: Some users used this option to print so thats why I am asking here).

Hi Siong,
It sounds like your config is not correct. I would check the following:
spro -> MM -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Forms (Layout Sets) for Messages -> Assign form and output program for RFQ.
also check:
spro -> MM -> Purchasing -> Messages -> Output Control -> Message Types -> Define Message Types for RFQ.
Hope that helps.
Glen.

Here , the funtion module name is coming correctly.
But when calling function CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' ,
It is giving sy-subrc = 2 , i.e. usage error (An Exception).
Similarily , due to this i am getting same exception in
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name
So some one please help me , what should i do ,
am i supposed to pass some other parameter in CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
Hopefully , waiting for responds.
Thanks & Regards;
Gaurav Singh

HI Sikka,
Thanx for the reply ,
With your solution CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' is done.
but the same problem is still happening with
CALL FUNCTION lv_fm_name and it is giving sy-subrc = 2.
i.e.   system_error             = 2
Thanx !!!

Adobe Form translation in to different languages

Hi All,
Can you please guide me through the procedure/process of "how to translate Adobe forms in to a different languages".
Thanks.

There are two methods to translate any Adobe form.
First method :
login to the target language
Go to SFP --> enter the form name
Click on Change
Click on Goto -> translation
Original language will be autopopulated. Enter the target language in which you want the texts to be translated into., eg FR (French) and enter
You will see the tree for translation objects. Expand the package name and then PDFB. Under PDFB you will find your form name --> Double Click.
A translation editor will open up.
Navigate to Object Menu --> Copy Source text.
The entire XML for the form will be copied in the target language window with all static text literals highlighted in blue.
Replace the english text (blue text) with the French text ( target language text) and save.
Thats all. The form will be now translated, run the application and provide the target language in the URLis the target language.. sap-language=FR
Also there is Second method.:
1)You have to create the form in target language and attach in webdynpro layout as your original language
2)In the context of the view define two new attributes (VISIBILE and VISIBILE_FR ) with type as "WDUI_VISIBILITY"
3 )Now in webdynpro layout attach this form same as your English form and bind the visible property of interactive forms( both EN and FR form) with the VISIBILE and VISIBILE_FR attributes respectively.
4) Now through any initial method you can set the value of VISIBILE =u2019 02 u2018and VISIBILE_FR =u2019 01u2019 for English form to visible and vice versa for Fr form
Choose the convenient option .

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

Print Adobe form pages on different printers based on the condition

Hi All,
I am new in Adobe forms. We have requirement to print first 5 line items in adobe form (which are printing on first page) on one printer and remaining pages on another printer.
What solution I was thinking was, in print program call the adobe form twice with flag as a importing parameter. For the first call the flag value will be set and for second run a blank value will be passed in flag.
If flag is set then call make the first page "visible" and if flag is cleared then "hide" the first page and make the remaining pages "visible".
But as its an item data which is designed on "Design" view I am not able to write a script to hide the page. Any suggestion you can give to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Mihika.

If it is OK to have the default printer defined/maintained in the user master (like tcode Su01 or System > User profile > Own data, Then the standard logic may suit your needs. I think you will need to undo some config for the whs. Te standard logic works as detailed below. the system needs to get to #4 below, then the SAP userid printer will be selected.
the system proceeds with automatic printer determination as described below Config Tcode is OMLV.
1) First the system checks whether a printer is set in the configuration "Printer-Movement". If so, the printer determination is complete at this point.
2) If not, the system uses the parameter "PriSrcTyp" defined in the configuration "Printer-Movement" to decide how it will proceed. If the parameter is set here, the system checks if a printer is defined in the setting "Printer Picking Area" and then proposes this printer.
3) If the system finds no printer, it searches in the setting "Printer - Storage Type" and uses this, if a printer is set.
4) If the system cannot find a printer using the methods described above it selects the printer defined in the user master of the user currently logged on.
5) If no printer is defined here, the system automatically proposes LP01
This writes the data to the spool file.

Adobe form with 2 copies, different headers

Hi gurus,
I've created a form that needs to be printed in two copies. I want the header data (a simple text field) to be different each time. I wanted to see if this is possible with the following restrictions:
The printing program cannot be changed (so no calling of the adobe form FM twice)
Accomplish this without having to create a second master page (a copy of the first)
I was wondering if this can be done thru scripting, or that there's a variable that may tell how many copies have already been printed so an Alternative can be used...
Cheers,
Marc

Hello Marc,
     Yes, you can do it. The below method will not call the adobe form FM twice and you don't even need to create a new master page.
If the value of header field in Master page changes each time, You need to JavaScript for this.
So you will be having some dynamic data in design view based on which the header will be changing. So fill the value of header in the design view. And write the JavasScript code on the Header Text field of Master page in Ready Layout event as below.
var currpage = xfa.layout.page(this);
var fields = 0;
fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(currpage-1, "field", 0);
for ( i=0; i<= fields.length-1; i++ )
          if ( fields.item(i).name == "HEADER" )
                    this.rawValue = fields.item(i).rawValue;
Here HEADER is the field in the design view which contains the value of Header. So whenever the same master page is triggered each time, the Header in the Master page is filled using this HEADER field from design view.

Rearrange pages when printing adobe form with multiple master pages

Hello!
Good day to you all.
I have an issue in regards with printing my adobe form with multiple Master pages. I have 4 master pages:
1st master page: a
2nd master page: b
3rd master page: c
4th master page: d
all with different headers and footers all having the same contents (items). I don't have issue with one page content (it just prints 4 pages with different headers and footers). The issue comes out once the items exceed 1 page.
What happens is that the preview/print shows (example: 3-page item)
a1-a2-a3-b1-b2-b3-c1-c2-c3-d1-d2-d3.
What i need is to print these such that all 1st pages of the 4 master page to be printed first, then all the 2nd pages, then all 3rd pages. Please see below:
a1-b1-c1-d1-a2-b2-c2-d2-a3-b3-c3-d3
This is because we will be using carbonless copy paper during printing and it's possible that it would be printed on batch jobs. Please suggest ways to do this.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best Regards,
abap_peer_dangs

Hi,
Is that requirement of multiple pages as groups only at the time of print or at print preview also...?
Can you have a Print button on this screen or you should be using the Abobe toolbar's Print button..?
Well if this on a click of a button in the form and the requirement is only at the time of print and not on print prieview I can have a JS script which does this...
Let me know if this suffice, I can try with a local file and send you the script.
@ Chris: I didn't understand what do you mean by reported, I was eager to hear and learn a solution from you may be a new approach which I am not aware of ...?
Cheers,
Sai.

Print Adobe Form AND Save a PDF file

Hi Experts
We have a situation where I need to print the output of an Adobe Form (printing only, it is not dynamic) that is generated during the dispatch process. In this case it is a Picking slip, but the same will apply to other documents. Currently, this works well - the output is produced and sent to the correct printer.
A new requirement by the business is that they need an audit copy of this document. This document needs to be saved in a certain folder on a file server. I know I can do this by using the getPDF setting of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, and I have done it before for other applications.
However (and this is the question!), it seems that when I set getPDF, the print output does not appear anymore. Can anyone explain to me how to produce BOTH print output and a file copy of the PDF at the same time please?
Thanks
Casper

How to print adobe form immediately without preview?

Hi, Experts.
I made a WD4A using Interactive Form control
and the app is working fine and displays Adobe Form.
But I meet a new client needs on how to print immediately without display the form.
My client says that "I don't wanna see the form and just print form immediately when I click the print button".
I think there are some option parameters for solving those problem...
Plz. Help.
Regards Junha.

Hello Junha,
you need to send the pdf to spool. There's a function module for it as far as I know. Can't remember the
name at the moment and having no access to a SAP system. A good way to find it would be searching
for SPOOL and PDF in the name.
Best regards,
Thomas

Logo does not appear on the printed adobe form

Per the solution provided by Tejaswini
Inserting a Graphic in adobe form using SFP
I am able to upload the logo avaialble at SE78.
I did the binding etc as per the thread above.
But the print preview or print of the Form does not show the Logo.
Does this have anything to do with the printer?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ven

Are you referring to Adobe from?
I am not able to see any SAP Logo in the library.
Can you please elaborate a little more?
Thanks,
Ven
SAP does not seem to support SE78 texts.
Closing the thread.

Does anyone know how to set it up in the Adobe form and what I need to do in SPAD to handle it?
Thanks for any help,

Printing Adobe form using Webdynpro Java

Hi All,
I have a requirement to integrate data coming from web services onto a adobe form on the Portal.
This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.
The idea is that the user need not preview the form and then send it for printing.
Any suggestions on how this custom functionality could be achieved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Nidhideep Bhandari

"This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.
The idea is that the user need not preview the form and then send it for printing." - not possible. I think what you intend to say is to call up the print option without the preview, correct?
"Send it for printing" is a bit confusing a statement.
I haven't personally tried this but what you can try to do is use JPS (Java Print Service).
Here's the link to the documentation: [JPS Documentation|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/pdf/JPS_PDF.pdf]
And this for more info: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/printing/]
There you can indicate the file stream is a pdf file for printing.
"application/pdf"
Goodluck!

Jan
