Print PDF file directly to store printer

Hi Gurus,
Having not found a solution, we think we need help from you. We have searched forums and google but have not found adequate solutions.
We are a retailer having different stores. Our main office is using SAP. Each store has its printer and defined in our SAP system. We want to print PDF files directly to store printer using SAP . How should we do that ? We think there are 2 steps:
1) Upload PDF files from network directory into SAP (We done it, no problem)
2) Having now PDF files in internal tables, how should we proceed to print PDF files using store printers?
Please note that we do not want to use CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER since we do not want to display the PDF and having the obligation to choose the print option from dialog and also we do not want to call Adobe OLE object to print
Any answer would be appreciated
Thank you very much

Hi,
It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
ct_tline is PDF output:

FIELD-SYMBOLS: TYPE x. " type any.
LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
ASSIGN cs_tline TO CASTING TYPE x.
CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

Can't print .pdf files on windows network printer

Hi,
I cannot print .pdf files on Canon IRC printer with UFR II 2.23 or 2.24 drivers connected through a windows network by LDP protocol, either with Apple Preview or Acrobat Reader - looks like the software doesn't find the printer (I have the rainbow whell and the software does not answer). It can last for hours, there is no other solution than forcing the soft to quit and finding another way to print. I have updated Canon drivers from 2.23 to 2.24 (all supposed to work with Lion) and that does not fix the problem.
This problem does not happen with Ms Word or Safari (or, more generally, other types of files) and it worked fine with Snow Leo even with pdf!! I also have windows XP with Parallels and guess what? I can print through Parallels with Acrobat Reader (for windows XP) on the same printer on which I cannot print with my Mac with Lion and Preview or Acrobat Reader for Mac!
Please help !!
Alexis

Correction
It works with Acrobat but the printer does not like queues of documents...
The site privided me with the topics I fas looking for about this : it's a Canon drivers and Lion permissions problem.

Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in Windows Server 2003

In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
Someone who can help us in this matter?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
Thanks again

Unable to print PDF file in HP deskjet printer ink advantage 1515

Hi , currently i have difficulty in using my printer(HP deskjet printer ink advantage 1515 ) to print PDF file, but Microsof word and powerpoint is ok,, so , any idea?

You are welcome!
I have a few more suggestions for you to try that might help. You can try printing your PDF file by using another program, or you can try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.If there was no issues detected, you can also try Uninstalling the Printer Software from the Control Panel, restarting your PC and reinstall the full driver here: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515 All-in-One Printer
If the PDF's not printing was due to an issue with the printer software, the issue would be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer. If the problem continues, try posting this issue in the Adobe Forums for further assistance.
Have a great day

How to print pdf's direct to default printer by command line

I want to direct print pdf's to the default printer by command line.
this work's with:
C:\Programme\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe /n /s /h /t test.pdf
But at the end, when printing was done. Adobe does not close automatically.
Is there an opportunity to automatically close adobe after printing?

No, Adobe stopped that happening many releases ago, for reasons that I don't understand but they will not change.

How to print PDF files directly from SAP?

We have created output that is being saved in a PDF format. We can store it on any drive or send it through email. However, we would like to be able to print a PDF file directIy without any manual intervention. Now users still have to open the file and hit the print button and we want to avoid this. So basically we want to be able to create e.g. a sales order, generate an order confirmation in PDF format and send it directly to the output device that we stored in output master data. I have a feeling it is not possible to print directly because output device has to be like a PDF1 to create the PDF file itself and there is no space left somewhere to store the physical output device. We use ECC 5.

Printing PDF report directly to printer, not using orarrp utility

The orarrp utility works only with Windows machines and it
requires installation on both the client machines and servers to
support. We need a more general solution.
Adobe has a java application/applet/javabean (and support
classes) to view PDF, and it is easy to write a java driver
which can be used in place of the orarrp utility. However,
Adobe's Java Viewer is extremely slow, does not produce quality
output, and is explicitly not supported by Adobe.
My question then relates to Reports. When the Report server
returns a PDF in the Previewer, I'm expecting the JINITIATOR,
used by Forms, is also used to support the Report frame and
functionality, including eventual printing. If this is the case,
is there not a set of classes, downloaded with Jinitiator, which
support the fonts, and printing of PDF to locally attached
printers?
And if so, shouldn't we, in Java, be able to make use of these
classes and their APIs to print PDF files directly to locally
attached printers without the need for Previewing first?

within a forms trigger:
1. generate the report
2. copy from iAS to local
like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

How to print pdf files not using acrobat product?

i just want to print pdf files,but not want to use the adobe acrobat or acrobat reader,just want to write a tools print pdf files directly.

> no i just want to print it,not need to read it.can you help me?
Well, the problem is to print it you need to be able to read it. Something needs to convert it into a format the printer can understand (most printers are PostScript or PCL).
I'm not sure you entirely understand what a PDF file is. It's not a fancy text file. It's a binary format. Saying "I want to print a PDF without a PDF interpreter" is like saying "I want to run an EXE without Windows". You need software to interpret the format.
You certainly can write your own software to interpret the PDF format, convert it to a print language and output that to a printer, but as Aandi said you will need to start by reading the PDF Reference so you know how the inside of a PDF file works, and it will most likely take several years of development even for a seasoned, expert programmer. It's just not as simple as "Printer, meet PDF. PDF, meet printer."

Printing pdf files E90

Its all fine that we can view pdf files on the Nokia E90. What if I wanted to print a pdf file to a printer like I can print emails and other documents. I cannot find a print menu for this on the Nokia E90.

I guess you can't print pdf files direct from E90, but through your PC Nokia PC suite. I've tried to print from USB port from E90, but couldn't make a connection.

Adobe reader 11.0.5 - cannot print pdf file to network printer

I have a 64 bit HP Pavilion a6230n PC running Windows 7, fully updated. I have wireless connection to a home file/printer server. My printer, a Brother HL-5140, is connected via USB to the file/printer server. All my other Windows programs capable of printing can print on the network printer - all except adobe reader. Adobe Reader sees the printer and all printing processes appear to be sending the file to the printer, however, the printer never gets the document. I've tried printing as a document, in which case the document sits in the printer queue until I delete it. If I send it as an image, each queue entry is deleted after adobe thinks it has printed. Again, nothing ever prints on the printer, and again, no other program running on my computer has any problems printing to this printer.
I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Addendum - 4 Nov 13:
I uninstalled adobe reader 11 and installed a much earlier version, and now I can print pdf files. Clearly the printing issue is with the current versions of adobe reader.

This phenomenon can happen with PDF files that have errors in them. Adobe Reader or Acrobat may be able to fix these errors, but if you close the application, it will ask to save the corrected file. If you save it once, that should no longer occur when you open it again.
This is just one explanation, but it doesn't explain why that happens with every PDF you have.
Test: does it also happen with a PDF that is not supposed to contain any errors: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?

HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Won't Print PDF Files

I recently encountered a problem where my HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction would not print PDF files. I tried printing from Preview, Adobe Reader, Word and PDF Pen Pro and the document would not print. But the printer had no problem printing other formats such as JPG, DOCX etc. from the same computer both before and after.
What happened is that the computer indicated it sent the document to the printer and the printer screen showed "Printing Document" momentarily - but then the the printer screen would return to the Ready screen and the document would not print. There were not indications that the printer was having a problem.
I reinstalled the HP drivers - no change.
Finally I was able to print the document by opening in Photoshop and saving it as a JPG.
I am running OSX 10.9.2. on a MacBook Pro.
This question was solved.

Hi 5teve,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to print PDF documents.
I will be happy to help you.
Check the driver name. If it shows HP Laserjet CM1415 - Airprint it would be the Apple driver.
Delete it and add the new driver in for just the HP Laserjet CM1415. You might have to click on the drop down to select it from the list.
Here is a screen shot for a example. Different printer showing though.
Please let me know the results.

Unable to print PDF files to HP Colour Laser Printer

Hi Guys,
I am having a problem with printing PDF files to a network printer. The printer was purchased recently and is a HP Colour LaserJet CP3525n all in one, printer/photocopier etc. Other documents such as Word documents work, so I don't think its a straight forward issue...
I can print PDF file to other printers, so I know the PDF files themselves are not at fault.
When I try and print to that printer, I just get pages and pages of funny characters coming up on the page... It doesn't matter what sort of PDF file I print either...
Are there any settings I can change that may help me resolve the issue. The printer is networked and shared amongst 4 people.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there @jdwigg ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I read your post, and I hope to help out! As you are able to print successfully from your Windows 7 laptop, the printer is functioning fine, and the issue is most likely software related to your Windows 8.1 computer.
Here are some links I would recommend you check out to see if they can help with the problem printing PDF files:
