Print Workbench generating txt file

Hello,
we are using Print Workbench to generate bill forms. We will send a file to the Print Center.
The problem is that our form (SmartForm) generates a XML file, and the Print Center expects to receive a TXT file.
Does anybody know how to generate the TXT file directly?
We don't want to generate XML and then convert to TXT...
Cheers
Adriano

Use printer defined with device type ASCIIPRI when printing and set 'Standard format' as output format in the smartform general attributes.

Can I use DME to generate .TXT file?

My client wants the withholding tax program to generate a .TXT file to meet his legal requirements. How is this done?Maybe can i generate a .DME file and then convert to .TXT file? Can .DME be converted to .TXT?

Hi,
How you are going to get data of the withholding tax? If it is through an custom ABAP program, you can write taxt file directly and no need to write DME file.
Thanks

PC cannot print Mac-generated pdf-files

Hi, I have a question:
I am using Microsoft Word to save Word documents as PDF. I can perfectly open and print them from my system, but PC users will not be able to print them (although they can see them on screen).
This is a real problem when exchanging pdf files with other users by email, especially important documents like references, where the final reader usually does not respond to me when he cannot print it out. My mail (Eudora) settings seem OK, since pdf files that I downloaded from the internet and send to PC users are readable and printable.
I always thought PDFs are universally readable. If this is a known issue, or if any of you know the answer, I would be happy to hear it.
Thanks!
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) eMac

Just a thought Gerrit: when you save the file on your Mac, are you remembering to add the appropriate file suffix?
PCs can't do anything with files unless they are told (by the suffix) what to do with them!

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

Print Workbench file

Hello
I would like to know what is the best way to work with files in the print workbench. The 3rd part company wants to work with txt files.
Should I create XML(SmartForm), or RDI(SAPscript) and then convert to txt?
Online documentation has a lot of stuff, but i would like to know if someone has experienced the same problem.

Use printer defined with device type ASCIIPRI when printing and set 'Standard format' as output format in the smartform general attributes.

Problem with printing txt file

I have a problem with printing txt file. My code looks like :
String filename = something.txt";
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(
          flavor, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
pras.add(PrintQuality.DRAFT);
pras.add(new Copies(1));
pras.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
pras.add(Sides.ONE_SIDED);
pras.add(Chromaticity.MONOCHROME);
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,
          services, services[0],
          null,
          pras);
if (service != null)
try
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
catch(FileNotFoundException e)
catch(PrintException e1)
catch(InterruptedException e2)
It doesn't work :(
What is my purpose: I would like to print .txt file but I would like to get PrintDialog where I can choose PrintQuality, Chromaticity etc. I found also that I should use DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_HOST but I don't know how.
I will be very gratefull for help :)

I tested it on 3 printers (different models of hp). 2 of them don't give me any error but when it started print priter stoped (just as it dosesn't have a paper), but 1 of them doesn't react (there were no errors), i thought tahat something was wrong with printers but when I change DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE to DocFlavor.GIF and filename to dog.gif it works so mybe there is another way to print txt file

Indesign-generated .pdf files won't print

I realize this question is vague to the point of being unanswerable, but here I go anyway.
Our department's publication person sent me a number of chapters of our book in progress so that I could print an uncorrected proof to show to our funding source. She emailed me .pdf files generated by InDesign CS2, probably, although it might have been CS3.
She also emailed me the indesign file for the frontmatter because I had some things to add, so the .pdf for that I generated myself.
I took everything to a local printer we regularly use. To print this job he was using a large commercial Canon setup I think. None of the .pdfs would print on it. He ended up having to print them all as images for the purposes of creating a proof for me.
Now, I printed all of them myself on our networked postscript printer, both from a Mac and a Windows machine, no problem.
Since the files had been emailed to me, and then to him, we thought maybe they got corrupted, so I brought them over on a disk, but that didn't help, not even the one file whose .pdf I generated myself would print.
So is this an issue that has come up--indesign-generated .pdf files being unprintable on a commercial printer but printable on a postscript machine.

Dov and Al,
Yes, I'm sorry, I do realize that this isn't enough to diagnose a problem. I was hoping that this might be something that has come up before and someone would recognize.
As far as I could tell, he was opening up the print jobs in Acrobat and sending them to his printer, which had its own job monitor. When he consulted that monitor he just said, no, it won't print.
He's a smart guy and I've done a number of jobs with him that were generated in indesign, so I'm really at a loss to explain what has gone wrong with this one.

Wrong file format while generating a txt file

Hi,
I am using a java application to generate a txt file. This txt file will later be used by a spider. The problem is when the file is generated it has UNIX format. It means the '\n' characters at the end of the line are not the same as in a DOS file.
I need the file to be in a "PC/DOS" format otherwise the spider will ignore the file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Fas

Another stab at "simplest": can you avoid embedding
newline characters in the strings
your write and reply on PrintWriter's
println() methods instead?But, if I understand the OP, this will cause the same problem. He is running on Unix but wants to generate a DOS type eol. The println() method will use the OS default; therefore, he needs to explicitly specify the DOS eol.

Print from .csv or .txt file

Hello Experts,
I am new to ABAP development.
Is there any way to print the content of an .csv or .txt file.
For example my report will have a selection screen where we will upload a file containing "Hello world" when we execute the output screen will show "Hello World".
Regards,
Sarnava

Hi Sarnava,
If your are selecting file from your system desktop then use GUI_UPLOAD to upload data in data_tab and then while applying loop at this internal table split the code at ',' or space and fill internal table with your relevant fields.
Loop at final internal table and display on output screen.
DATA: BEGIN OF I_APPFEED OCCURS 0,
         RECORD(200) TYPE C,
       END   OF I_APPFEED.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     EXPORTING
       FILENAME                = LV_FILE (path of .csv file from desktop)
     TABLES
       DATA_TAB                = I_APPFEED
LOOP AT I_APPFEED INTO GWA_LOC_APP.
     SPLIT GWA_LOC_APP AT ','
    into wa_fields.
append wa_fields to it_fields.
endloop.
loop at it_fields into wa_fields
write: wa_fields-fields.
endloop.
Hope, this will solve your issue or let me know if you want something else.
