Print functionality using PDF form in a webdynpro application

Hello! All
Currently, we have a webdynpro application and we need to provide the print feature to print the content of the iview display on IE browser. We try the File-> print feature provide by Microsoft through IE but this doesn't work. We are looking for any other option like print to pdf form. We don't know if it is possible. Is there any tutorial, help or anything that can help us to print to pdf form. Please share any other suggestion, comment and it will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi,
The content (which is a pdf content) can be exported as a PDF from a WD Application. For this you can use File Download control whose source is in the form of bytes (which is PDF content).
Do you have the PDF content already generated?
If so it is very easy to generate PDF from WD.
If you need further help, kindly let us know.
Thanks and regards

How to disable Save & Print functionality in PDF form?

Hi,
This is the requrement, client need to disable Save & Print functionality in PDF form. (They not allow employee save & print the hrforms payslip)
May I know how to do it. Thank you.
What is the parameter value in structure SFPOUTPUTPARAMS that I need to set in order to disable Save & Print functionality ?
call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    changing
      ie_outputparams = SFPOUTPUTPARAMS
    exceptions
      others          = 1.

Hi Nayan,
I'm the person who did the WD as well, using IFrame to contain the PDF binary. WD site didn't contro the binary source.
I pre-define the 'FP_JOB_OPEN' before calling the PDF generation.
Optional: Set output parameters
gs_outputparams-nodialog = ''.
gs_outputparams-preview   = ''.
gs_outputparams-getpdf    = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-nopreview = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-noprint   = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-noarchive = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-nopributt = 'X'.
gs_outputparams-arcmode = '1'.
gs_outputparams-noarchive = 'X'.
Open print job
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    CHANGING
      ie_outputparams = gs_outputparams
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS          = 1.

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.
Smriti Kapur

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:

TABLE DATA in PDF FORM Through ABAP WEBDYNPRO

Hi Friends,
I have to Populate SAP TABLE like MARA,VBRK table into PDF form throught ABAP Webdynpro.
Can you send STEP by STEP Example Doc.
Thanks In Advance.
Gautam.

Hi,
To display the Table in the Adobe Form you must create a WebDynpro Context.
In WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes FIELD1 and FIELD2 and so on.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
FIELD1 TYPE SOMETYPE,
FIELD2 TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_TABLE.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0.
SELECT FIELD1 FIELD2 FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And now goto Layout and give the TemplateSource and after that it asks for the interface name fill on that and select the relevant context. Now the LiveCycle Designer opens. There goto DataView pallette, there you can see the context of the webdynpro, now you simply drag and drop that table, a table is being created in the Layout Designer.

Why doesn't Preview print out my pdf forms as edited anymore?

A week ago, I was able to print out a pdf form the way it was editted on the screen using Preview. As of Wednesday, it no longer prints what I have editted in Preview. It prints the naked, empty form only. No edits. I have Mountain Lion and am using an hp deskjet 6122.

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:

If you're talking about printing from Reader on your laptop or desktop computer, you're in the wrong forum.

PDF Forms embedded in Webdynpro Java - Can eCATT recognize???

Hi All,
Will eCATT be able to identify the PDF forms embedded in Webdynpro Java applications.....
Thanks in Advance
Puru

I think it will not. I am almost sure it will not. Any new complex screens are a challenge to eCATT. Flash, Flex and sometimes even trees.

Passing value from Adobe Interactive form, to the Webdynpro Application

Hi,
I have followed all the tutorials on interactive forms in WD for Java, & am able to successfuly display my context data in an interactive form.
However, i need help with the following:
1. Online scenario:
User has filled details in an interactive form & clicks on the submit button.
The Data from the form is NOT getting passed back to the WebDynpro application.
2. Offline Scenario:
User has filledup a pdf file(form), & has uploaded the form to the webdynpro application, using the file-upload UI element.
How do i read the data that the user has entered in that pdf file?
Any help with regard to these two queries, will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hanoz

1) Online Scenario
check if the context mapping between UI elements and Context is properly done
check if the cardinality of the Context is alright.
2) Offline Scenario
you will have two views.
one upload view
and one interactive form view
in the upload view use the File Upload UI element.
in the Interactive Form View.... use the same view which you used to create the offline form, thus the interactive form UI element will already know the structure of data and the context mapping in the pdf file when you upload it.
Add the following line of code to the
method wdDoInit.
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute
("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleTyp
e();
Add the following line of code right
before
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutToDisplay()
in the method onActionShowForm().
wdThis.wdGetTravelRequestCompControl
ler().wdGetContext().currentContextE
lement().setPdfObject(wdContext.curr
entContextElement().getPdfObject());
in the interactive form view, change the property of the interactive form.... MODE to usePdf.

Embedding an existing Adobe Form into a Webdynpro Application

Hi Everyone,
I have an existing adobe form created thro transaction SFP and its working well.
I need to launch the form with a Webdynpro application now. I was able to embed the adobe form into the Webdynpro View. The View's context is supposed to pick up the context of the adobe form automatically.
However I am getting the following error - Either your Interactive form UI element is not bound to a context or a corresponding context does not exist.
I am not sure how to proceed coz the I executed the Adobe from in SFP and its working perfectly and obviously its bound to a context/ interface.
Any Ideas?
thanks for your suggestions in advance !
Liz

Pradeep,
You are right. This time I could bind the context from my interface (even though it was ABAP based).
I have one quick one for you - you mentioned earlier that when we embed an existing form into Web. View, we cannot have an Interactive form even when we check the 'enabled' property. Can you throw more light onto this pls?
The runtime error that i am encountering now says :
Adobe Processing Exception: PDF is not interactive. Data can be only imported into Interactive forms.
the source text of error is:
get result
m_pdf_object->get_document ( importing pdfdata = pdf ).
catch cx_fp_exception into lr_fpexc.
raise exception type cx_wd_general
exporting
previous = lr_fpexc
and this exception is not caught ! I am still lost
thanks again for your help!

WF_EXTSRV: use PDF Form in Change mode in Portal:

Hai,
I'am trying to use transaction WF_EXTSRV to generate a task which can be used within the UWL from the portal. The main purpose of this task is to show an exsisting PDF form in change mode. I allready found some nice information from SDN, but not enough to make it all work. I still have still these questions:
1) How must I setup the required fields within transaction WF_EXTSRV when I want to generate for example this url:
http://abc.abc.nl:51800/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/pcui_gp~isr/IsrForm?SCENARIO=SPEG&MODE=CHANGE&NOTIF_NO=000600000003
2) How must a then setup transaction SWFVISU? Which apllication and package name.
I hope some can help me.
Greetings,
Remco

Hi,
When do you get this error ... "No scenario specified". ???
I mean did you try creating an iview for IsrForm Java WD application sending the Scenario name as parameter?
Betn us,
Why dont you try the parameter IFV='P' for IsrFormApprove Java WD application itself. Get to know more about this parameter in these threads...

Web Dynpro as Callable object in GP using PDF Forms

Hi All,
I somehow want to integrate a user filling out a pdf form within a Guided Procedure. So far I have created a local web dynpro DC and I want to make it a Web Dynpro Callable Object (GP Interface). The problem is, I want the user to be able to see the PDF form when filling out the form. For example, if they had a role in the portal where they can invoke the Web Dynpro application with the pdf form, then when they click submit on the pdf they invoke the guided procedure...is this possible? This is so, I can use the web dynpro to do some data validation and call some bapis to get info, then submit this all to the GP. Is this achievable? I know how to do most things, I just want to know things like when is the "execute" and "getDescription" methods called? I want my execute( com.sap.caf.eu.gp.co.api.IGPExecutionContext executionContext ) method to call a bapi also. Is that possible? How do I automate a GP process when I click submit on the pdf form?
Thanks in advanced
TM

Hi,
You can integrate a PDF control in a Web Dynpro view. Refer the following links for that:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/dc/f1783fe3263042e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">Example of the Use of an Interactive PDF Form (SAP Library - Web Dynpro for Java)</a>

Also you can create Web Dynpro Java callable object in GP by implementing the IGPWebDynproCO interface. Refer the following links for that:

You can start a GP process using the public API:

Also you can start a GP process using Web Service:

Refering the above links you'll get a fairly good idea how to integrate Adobe forms in WDP and how to start GP process programitically. My suggestion for your requirement would be if always you need to start the process after the user submits the Adobe form, then consider having the Adobe form as the first step for the process. In that case you don't need to start the process programitically. Whenever the user starts filling up the Adobe form the GP process will start. You can refer <a href="/people/dipankar.saha3/blog/2007/03/02/how-to-present-your-gp-processes-to-the-end-user">this blog</a> on how to start a GP process as an iview link in portal.
Otherwise if based on certain conditions you need to start the process then you can either use the Java API or the web service to start the process from Web Dynpro. You should have the Adobe form embedded in Web Dynpro and on submit event you can check the conditions and start the process if required.
Thanks,
Dipankar

How to write printing function using JSP?

dear all,
i want to add a printing function in my project but i do not know how to do it? could anyone teach me how to do it?
thanks
eric

salut eric,
you can do it this way :
1 - create a html link in your code to this javascript
function : (I am using Struts, but you can write it in
pure html
<html:link href="#bodyStart"
onclick="openWindowForPrinting()"
titleKey="msg.status.print"> <bean:message
key='app.print' />
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</html:link>
>
>
2 - here is the javascript function : it open a window
with the "print.jsp" page.
function openWindowForPrinting(){
window.open('/your_project/pages/common/print.jsp','',
'left=150, top=150 , status=no, directories=no,
toolbar=no, menubar=yes, location=no, scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes, dependant=yes');
3 : here is the print.jsp page : You have only to
create a session variable called
"currentBodyRelativeLocation", which content the
relative URL to the page you want to print (for
example, the boby of the current page).
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/tlds/perso.tld'
prefix='perso' %>
<html>
<head>
<perso:csslink page='${cssRelativeLocation}' />
</head>
<body onload="var SymTmpWinOpen = window.open; window.open = SymWinOpen; printPage();; window.open = SymTmpWinOpen;">
<body>
<jsp:include page="${currentBodyRelativeLocation}"/>
</body>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</html>
<script language='javascript'>
function printPage(){
window.print();
window.close();
</script>
hai,
i'm not very understand how is your code work. when i write html code, do i need to mind about this code: "msg.status.print" ? what is this code mean?
i have too much question on this thing. would you mind to be further explain to me? or is it any reference for me to refer? i'm really new to write printing function on JSP.
i never write this function before. i'm feel so lost.....:(
thanks again

Issue with printing from web pdf forms

Hello, This printer prints locally in an okay amount of time but If we go to a web site that we usually go to and pull up a pdf form, it takes up 3 minutes to print the pdf form. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

hi there,
could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.
