Print problem with Interactive forms

Hello,
I have a problem when i am checking the print preview of an Interactive form from transaction SFP.
The error is 'Cannot find PDL type for output device locl'.
i tried somany output devices but the erros is still continued.
Plzz help me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance

The above error indicates that the printer does not support ADS documents but will work fine with other types. Configure a printer that suports ADS documents..Ask your Basis team to do so.

Problem with interactive forms using ABAP

Hi all,
    I am trying to create an interactive adobe form using ABAP in ECC 6.0. But while execute the form, it is creating an error saying that
Exception       SYSTEM_ERROR
Message ID:          FPRUNX                     Message number:           001
Message:
ADS: The render error log file has been written to D:\u(200101)
But i was able to create adobe interactive form using WebDynpro and its working perfectly. But the problem is while using ABAP method.
Do anyone have an idea why its happening?
Thanks and Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi
Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.
It is impossible to make a blanket statement on what needs to be done in each of the applications using a form for output. Despite the same underlying technology, forms handling has always been a decision for each SAP application: Some do it through customizing, some through coding, some in yet anither way.
What I CAN say from a technology pespective is that all applications are in the process of creating their forms based on Interactive Forms so that by 2007 pretty much all SAP forms will be PDF-based. Obviously, each application does it within the framework of their application - but they all use Interactive Forms.
By the way, be aware that in ERP 2004 this forms solution is subject to a limitation for high-volume printing scenarios as we cannot ensure that ALL customers will be content with the performance in ALL scenarios with this release. (see SAP Note 863893).
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :

Problem with Interactive Forms

Hi All!
I'm still having a problem when I insert any control which haves text, after I activate the form, the text disappears.
I have only installed Adobe Designer 6.0 (I didn't install Netweaver).
Does somebody know what can I do? Do I need any SP? Which?
Best regards and thanks to all!
Ale.

Interesting. I might have a problem like you mentioned.
I am running one SRM50 system (abap+java) and one ECC6.0 (abap)
I want to use ADS from both ABAP stacks. I have configured both and the ADS including interactive forms works from the SRM5 abap system, but has the problems described from the ECC6.0 system.
The abap software components from both systems differ. The working one has aba, basis, apl on level 8, the non woking on 12.
Now which of the abap components is involved and would the older level 8 componenet work with the newer ADS (is it downward compatible). Since I could upgrade the java ADS to the latest level , but do not want to upgrade the abap stack on the SRM5 system.
I am afraid of breaking a working SRM 5 system.

Problem with Interactive forms. Non interactive works fine

I have a strange problem with testing interactive forms . If i test the same test form (FP_TEST_02) without putting an x in the fillable field, i see the PDF fine.
But when I set the fillable filed to x I get a system error and the J2ee error log as follows :

I do not understand why. I have added the credetial file for user right "ReaderRights", but this message idicates soemthing with "Create". What am I missing.
(all test reports for the ADS connetions etc work fine, just interactive forms gives this error)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Download/print problems with Interactive Reports on 10g

Running APEX 3.1.1.00.9 on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production with BI Publisher
When downloading Interactive report using xls/rtf - no data is shown, pdf - corrupted file error is shown. This seems to only happen with row counts over 20. Same tables with less rows populates fine with all file types.
This problem does not exist using the APEX.oracle.com site, same tables. Is this due to the DB version?

For addional info, I'm putting down major steps that I followed so that it can be confirmed for any missing links. Sorry for a little bigger post
1) $ORACLE_HOME\bin\rwserver.exe -install myRepSrv
2) Created a report in the reports builder, saved as .rdf
3) In Forms builder, attached the report as a new report object.
4) In a procedure to call the report, following code is written
----------8<---------------
repid := find_report_object('testreport');
set_Report_object_property(repid,report_filename,'testreport');
set_report_object_property(repid,report_COMM_MODE,synchronous);
set_report_object_property(repid,report_server,'myRepSrv');
v_rep_jobid := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
v_rep_stat := report_object_status(v_rep_jobid);
IF v_rep_stat = 'FINISHED' THEN
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,length('myRepSrv')+2,LENGTH(V_REP))||'?server=myrepsrv','_blank');
else
message (v_rep_stat||'- Report output aborted '||sqlerrm);
END IF;
----------8<---------------
5) Compiled the form and placed the form binary in approprite folder
6) modified $ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\myRepSrv.conf. Changed the property of engine tag(sourceDir) to correctly point to the appropriate directory where the report has been saved
7) modified rwservlet.properties to turn off SSO
8) Started the external reports service with modified values
9) Invoked the form to launch the report
Please also note that if I invoke directly web.show_document and paste the hardcoded path, as can be expected, my work is done. But as can be agreed, this is not a very good approach.
Thanks and regards,
Kinjal Sonpal

WebUI Print Preview (Action Definition - Print) for Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi All,
As mentioned in subject, how to define an CRM Action Definition (with or without Action Condition) to Print an Adobe Interactive Forms. We know how to define a setting for Print Preview function in CRM WebUI via Action Definition - Smartforms Print. Now we want to print preview from CRM WebUI document on Form designed in Adobe Interactive Forms (tx SFP).
We have tested using Action Definition - External Communication, we can set the AIF form here. We tested in GUI (tx crmd_order) and it works. But when testing preview on CRM WebUi it shows "Error in Smartforms".
Somehow it still detect as Smartforms instead of Adobe Interactive Forms.
We prefer if this preview can be done via Action, because it is straight forward function for printing.
Should we use Action - Method Call instead ? How is the approach to do it in Action - Method Call ?
Any one try this before? Appreciate your sharing here.
Thx & Rgds,
Gun.

Hi Gunawan,
if I got you right, what you want is: Call your AIF when someone clicks on the "print preview" button in CRM WebClient. This should all work using a print action like with normal SmartForms.
I faced this problem some months ago on CRM 6. The problem here was quite simple: The SmartForm interface and the one of AIF are not compatible. Thus the service used for calling the print action from WebClient failed.
For handling this problem I enhanced the print service to call AIF correctly.
In customizing I used print actions that call a method.
As mentioned this lays back some months already. Maybe SAP came up with a better solution by now. I saw AIF to have multilple interface types. One is an interface compatible with SmartForms. Probably you can use this one and the print service will work without any enhancements or modifications.
cheers Carsten

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Printing problems with hp laserjet 1018

- printing problem with my hp laserjet 1018 (no *.pdf files!), all other documents were printed

Also having other "permission" based problems as well. Other people cannot open my PDFs even though I have not used any security. I'm thinking about getting a previous version of Accrobat Pro and installing that.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

Printing problem with Summarize Comments?

Printing problem with Summarize Comments in Pro 10.1.6? When I print, I only get the number boxes on one page and the comments on the next page. The numbered boxes don't show up on the actual image itself.

Um I dont know if im doing something daft but I tried this like you said
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(this);
if(printJob.printDialog()){
try {
          PageFormat pageFormat = printJob.defaultPage();
          if (pageFormat.getOrientation() == PageFormat.PORTRAIT) {
          landscape = 0;} else {
               landscape = 1;}
          System.out.println("THE ORIENTATION IS "+ landscape);
          printJob.print(); }
catch (Exception PrinterExeption) { PrinterExeption.printStackTrace();}
and it doesnt seem to work as I tried it both as landscape and portrait in the print dialog but landscape is always 0.
cheers

Printer problem with AW 6.2.9

I have a recurring printer problem with both hp deskjet 5150 and Epson R220. After much work with techs at both, we have determined that it is an AW problem (v. 6.2.9) Other files print okay. I've searched through recent posts and found similiar questions, but the answers aren't specific to my problem. I gather that it involves trashing certain AW files, such as Appleworks.plist and other Appleworks prefs. It will help it I know the specific files to trash and as much detail about how to find them on the HD. I will be infinitely grateful for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
You are correct that deleting the AppleWorks preferences can fix some printing problems. I'm surprised that in finding that information you didn't come across a post with the specific information or a tip to my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that explains which preference files ot delete.
Make sure you have the newest printer driver for each printer. Also, use Disk Utility to repair permissions after any system update or upgrade.

Session problem with a form that calls psp web page.

Hi,
My unique form is based on table A.
Within the form I call a stored procedure, which insert data from A into tables B,C,D
And then within the same form I call a psp procedure using web.show_document('http://server:8080/plsql/psp_procedure?pvId=1001);
The plsql web page displays data from tables B,C,D for each single pvId.
The problem is:
If any commit is issued the psp web page contains no data from B,C,D.
I suppose I'm working with two different sessions, can I work within the same one?
Thanks

Hi,
I'd say the main problem is that you have both rows with the same name 'Rangée1'. This is not a good idea, especially as the first row is the repeatable row.
When objects have the same name, you can see the instances in the hierarchy, eg 'Rangée1[0]' and 'Rangée1[1]'. The instances use a zreo-based numbering system.
By the way you can also see it in the Object > Binding tab:
So that is when you have multiple objects with the same name.
The problem with your form is that when objects are repeated (add new instance button), then these new objects also have instances, eg 'Rangée1[0]', 'Rangée1[1]', 'Rangée1[2]', etc.
So the Acrobat gets confused ;-)
I have renamed the second row 'Rangée2'. That seems to have solved the problem.
Here is the form back to you: https://acrobat.com/#d=jcCs7X85xeRYQjvI2Yb*Cw
Good luck,
Niall

Open the j2ee engine web page and go to web service navigator --

there should be a ADS webservice there. you should be able to execute it successfully. if it is not present then it means ADS service is not installed on your server.

Problem with HR Forms

Hi,
I am having problem with HR Forms. I am trying to edit renumeration statement form (Copy of the standard form, with custom infotype fileds).
One of the Single Fields was spelled wrongly, and I am trying to correct it. I went to the chnage screen, double clicked on the faulty field, changed its name, and pressed 'Transfer'. It asked for a customizing request, and saved it.
If I again go to PE51, and check the form, the changes I made are not reflecting. Why is this? can anybody help?
The field I require is P9001-ZCREWNO. But it takes only P9001-zcrew. Is there any limit of 5 characters on length of filed name? (All other changes are reflecting, only this particular change is not reflecting.)
Thanks
Krishna

Sameer,
Thanks for the reply. That is already done. I already have the field available in the F4 help of the 'Single Field.
The field name is ZCREWNO. But when I give this and save it, it says 'Saved'. But if I open again, the stored field name is actually ZCREW (That is only 5 characters). Because of this, the filed value is not getting populated.
In Pe51_checktab, filed name is ZCREWNO.
Thanks
Krishna
