Printer button invisible in CRXI Designer

Hi,
I'm using CRXI Developer under Windows Vista and XP.
Under Windows XP, the dialog "page setup" contains a button "printer" (frame "print options").
This button is invisible under Vista (and Windows 7).
The same effect happens with the RDC/VCL component which is distributed with the application,
so customers are not able to select another printer on Vista/Win7, too!
Is this a well-known problem?
Is there a workaround/bugfix? (latest hotfix for Designer and latest merge modules are installed).
Thanks,
Daniel

Daniel, your solution is to upgrade to a version that supports Vista and WIN 7. You will have to upgrade to CR XI release 2, and then install SP 5.
CR XI r2 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006008462008E/crxir2.zip
SP 5 is here:

Printer button invisible in CRXI Designer Release 2 SP 5 / Windows 7

Hi,
I'm using CRXI Developer Release 2 SP5 (11.5.11.1470, just updated from Release 1 as suggested in another thread)) under Windows 7.
Under Windows XP, the dialog "page setup" contains a button "printer" (frame "print options").
This button is invisible under Windows 7.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Don, Michael,
I've got the same issue on our application here. I've looked around on forums and this button seems to dissapear when using the Crystal 11/12 runtimes (with SP2) in Windows Vista/7. In Windows XP it's fine and appears.
Interestingly, although it's not visible you can use the keyboard shortcut to trigger the function of the button, so ALT+P works, however this in a customer perspective isn't a solution!
Do you know if this is going to be fixed or identified? My company has a service agreement but I couldn't work out how to raise a case, so came to the people in the know on this forum
Many Thanks,
Hem
P.S. Could you detail the way you suggest to find what's wrong if it's permissions? Thanks

Invisible Text Fields/Print Button error

Ok, so I'm creating a blank form for users to input data fields and then print them out on a pre-made paper form. I started out using Adobe Designer 7.0.
While I was using 7.0, I made all of the Text Fields, and spent hours lining them up to print out correctly in their corresponding boxes on the pre-made paper form that we load into the printer. (Already tried scanning the form and creating a form that way, but the scanner is weird and scales everything incorrectly.)
I upgraded to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES today so that I could make Text visible on the form, but not visible when it prints, so that I can label each Text Field, otherwise it's just a blank template with random Text Fields all over.
Well, after upgrading, I created the Texts prompts above each Text Field and I selected Visible (screen-only) for each one of them, hoping that once I printed the form out, those texts prompts won't print out on the pre-made paper form. But, to my dismay, they printed out even though I selected the option for them to NOT print out.
So I was doing some reading and decided to add a "print button" to my form. I added the print button. Made it visible (screen-only). Printed out another form, and BAM. All of the hours I spent lining up those Text Fields went to waste because all of a sudden my Text Fields are all over the paper. I immediately removed the print button, assuming that was the problem, but for some reason my text fields are still all over the paper.
I don't want to spend the hours and hours I spent lining them up again. It just took too long. Does anyone know what happened here? If so, how do I fix it?
Also, how do I make it so that the Text prompts I created do NOT print when I print out the form?
I'm sure this is all an easy fix for you experienced ones. I'm a noob... obviously...

Thank you for the help, but I'm still not really sure what I should be doing here. I went to form properties, but didn't see any kind of settings that would fix what I'm having problems with. I'm using Adobe Designer ES 8.2.1 now, but for some reason when I make my text Visible (screen-only), it still prints out when I click print. This shouldn't happen and I can't figure out what's wrong. I've reasearched all I can, but can not find a solution.

Printer Button Event

Hi,
We are wanting to record each time a report is printed off. We are using VS.NET2005 and CRXI.
We want to do this by entering a ReportName and DateTime record into a Table that will hold information about the Report Print
We are trying to find the event that is associated with the OK button of the PrintDialog form in CrystalViewer.
Can anyone help, or offer an alternative method. Perhaps the event for the Print button in the CrystalViewer that shows this PrintDailog form??
Many thanks Stuart

Disable Print from menu/toolbar from Designer 7

Hello,
I have a form that contains a print button, which is only executed if all validation rules are executed successfully. However, I still have the Print function in the menu and the toolbar of Acrobat/Reader. In the forum I found an entry stating that you should check out the AcrobatJS Guide and try hideMenuItem(). It seems that I could use this function also in Designer, but I get a 'NotAllowedError' when I try to call it. The Guide says that for security reasons you can only use this function in application initialization or console events. Any idea where I can find these events in Designer 7? Or does anyone know the related function in Designer 7? Or is it not possible to do this with Designer?
I was also thinking if I could change the menu item, so that it takes my validation beforehand. I tried to put this in the prePrint event. Which really called my validation, however it still printed it afterwards. Any idea how I can stop the printing on failure of the validation?
Regards, Karin

Hello Hubert,
you don't happen to have a sample or something? I tried to implement the hideMenuItem like it is described in the Acrobat scripting reference, but I still got the 'NotAllowedError'. I really find it confusing because some things of the Acrobat scripting is also working in Designer, others are not. Do you know if there is a documentation about this, like which Acrobat function can be used in Designer, which not, and which Acrobat function is named different in Designer, etc.?
Regards, Karin

Using the print button to print then close a document

I use Live Cycle Designer to create my Adobe documents. I am working on a kiosk project and one of the menus navigates to a document page that has PDF documents and forms for users to print out. The way the kiosk is designed, I would like for my pdf file to close after the print button is selected. I recieved a solution in the general Adobe forum, but later found out the script does not work if the document was made using Live Cycle. Any suggestions??? Is it possible??? Thanks.

Open your PDF file in adobe livecycle designer, select print button on PDF.
Go to windows(in adobe designer menu bar) and select Script Editor - In Show dropdown list select postPrint event and copy paste the code below-
app.execMenuItem("Close");

Print button issues.

Hello everyone,
In order to 'flatten' our pdf forms so that they cannot easily be modified, we have decided to print all of our completed forms to a virtual .pdf writer. Now, we could have all of our users click file-->print-->select 'cutePDF Writer' from the printer drop-down-->hit OK-->Type in a file name for the new .PDF-->hit OK... but I was hoping that I could make their lives easier by adding a button to do most of this for them.
After scowering the depths of the internet, I found this script that I've added to the click event of a button:
var objPrintParams = event.target.getPrintParams();
objPrintParams.interactive = objPrintParams.constants.interactionLevel.silent;
objPrintParams.printerName = "cutePDF Writer";
event.target.print(objPrintParams);
This effectively handles everything up to 'Type in a file name for the new .PDF' step... but there are some issues.
The first is that some of our users may not have cutePDF installed. As it is, the script doesn't throw an error if the printer does not exist. Without the printer installed, clicking the button seems to have no effect. Both pre- and post-print events fire as if the printing worked, even though it didn't. I would like to have a helpful message for the user, but I can't think of a way to check if it failed. If I could get a list of printers, I could check it before trying to print... but event.target.printerNames(); doesn't work, and that was the only thing that i could find to list printer names.
The second issue is that a message is displayed to inform the users the the document is trying to print. "This document is trying to print..." I get that this is a security measure, but the user is pressing a button called print, and having to click a second time may get annoying. Additionally, if they click no by accident, this response is stored until they restart reader... clicking the print button again does nothing.
Ultimately, I'd like to get rid of this message... but if I can't do that, I'd like for it to show each time that the user presses it, both for consistancy, and to allow them to change their minds without having to close out reader, losing all of the filled fields that they entered.
I know that this might be asking the impossible, but I would appreciate any help with this.
- Scott

In the designer, highlight the print button. On the Object palette locate the presence dropdown (near the bottom of the palette). Change the pressence to "Visible (Screen Only)".

REPORT VIEWER- PRINT BUTTON- NOT PRINTING ONLY IN SOME MACHINES

I built a project in VS2008(VB.Net) and it uses RDLC reports...When ive published my software i tried and it works fine and can print successfully on my machine but when i tried on the target machine i can export to pdf but i cant print the files directly
using the print button on the report viewer...What is the problem? Thanking you in advance.

Hello,
Which browser did your used in the target machine? The issue may happens when you use none-IE browser.
The ClientPrint control of the Report Viewer control is based off of ActiveX and is not designed to work in none-IE browsers. This is a known issue in Report Viewer control.
To workaround this issue, you can try to use custom control or ActiveX control to get the print option enabled for the Report Viewer.

Disable Purchase Order (PO) PDF Print button

Hi,
We are using SRM 550.
When a user views/changes a PO in the browser they can use the Preview Purchase Order button to view the PO as a PDF document.
This is OK, but we want to disable users from printing the form using the Adobe PDF print button as there is no print log recorded for this action and so the audit trail is compromised.
I have heard that this can be disabled by SAP when the PDF is generated does anyone know how this is acheived.
Thanks in advance

Hi Allen
field control you can do either via below badi or templates.
BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI
BBP_PO_UI_CTRL - field control in Purchase order
you must control the output preview button to disable . if you still finding problem then only this note is applicable . got it.
You do not want to provide the output preview button in the purchase order using the BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI BAdI, however, this appears as soon as you go to the output area in the header data of the purchase order. However, the button no longer has the label "Output preview", instead it just has the label "Preview".
This problem is caused by a program error: The display area contains a hidden "preview" button (the button is invisible but nevertheless it exists in the GUI) (Function group BBP_OUTPUT, screen 1100). This has the same name as the button for the "output preview" that exists separately in the button area of the purchase order (Function group BBP_PO_UI_ITS screen 2200). In the described case, the data of the output button is used for the purchase order button.
Solution
This note ensures that the output button does not exist (that is, not even in the GUI) if a calling application (in this case, purchase order) requires the generic output screen using the BBPS_OUTPUT_PUT_PBO function module without the preview button (IV_WITH_PREVIEW = ' '). Therefore, the data of the output button cannot be used for the purchase order button. This correction is available with Support Package 04 (SAPKIBKT04). For an advance correction, use Transaction SNOTE to implement the correction instructions attached to this note.

Creating a print button to print a page from another document - is this possible?

Hello,
My company is designing an interactive pdf with indesign with some great navigation on a side-bar. We've made the dimensions of the navigation pages larger than 8.5 x 11. We are constructing a pdf portfolio that contains a printable version of this document and this interactive version. Would it be possible to have a print button in the interactive document that calls up the corresponding page in the printable document and send it to the printer?

Flash Catalyst does not directly support printing. You are going to have to add that functionality via Flash Builder and writing ActionScripting. I have not worked with the printing capabilities in Flex, so there is not a lot I can offer past this in terms of advice.I would suggest browsing the Flex forums for some guidance on how to assemble your state for the printer.
Good luck!

Print button - captivate swf within falsh swf

Hi I have a nice problem and I hope someone might have an
answer for me.
I am making an interactive tool book. The design,
backgrounds, button etc are all in flash. I have also done a quiz
in captivate which has a bank of 50 questions but only 20 random
ones appear each time you do the quiz.
As you cannot import a random quiz captivate file into flash
I have made a movie clip titled container that the captivate quiz
swf. file loads into. This all works without a problem. However I
have to make a print button also in flash so the user can print
their result page (the result page is apart of the captivate file).
I have tried every print Action script I can think of;
however, none of them print the results. The page prints with all
the flash created objects (background, buttons etc) but it will not
print the end results page that appears in the movie clip titled:
container, which is located in the middle of the flash stage.
Although if I click print in the flash player file menu it
does......
Can anyone help me or have I confused you all??
From Sez

Markus,
I use "this." in the Actionscript, but I don't think that's the problem. In the attached file you'll see my problem.

Adding a Print button to a Flash movie

Hi. I've created a Flash movie and now want to add a simple
print button to it - one that will just bring up the users default
print dialog box.
I've created a new layer, highlighted the first frame and
dragged a print button in from the library.
When I press F9 to bring up the Actions pane, selected the
Print section all that comes up is print(). Can somebody tell me
what other code I need to add? I'm pretty new to Flash but getting
there, but the ActionScript is baffling me - I'm a designer, not a
developer!
Many thanks.

If Flash 8, try looking into the printAsBitmap function. It
might be what you are looking for.
For AS 3.0, try the PrintJob class.

Printer button codes

we need the correct placement for the java script code to print more than 1 page so we can hit the print button and it will print 2 or 3 pages of the fillable form.
here is what I have right now
xfa.host.print((1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)xfa.layout.pageCount(3));
Thanks
Bob

From the LiveCycle Designer documentation:
$host.print( BOOLEAN param1, INTEGER param2, INTEGER param3, BOOLEAN param4,
BOOLEAN param5, BOOLEAN param6, BOOLEAN param7, BOOLEAN param8 )
param1: display print dialog
param2: start page zero based
param3: end page zero based
param4: cancel dialog
param5: shrink to fit
param6: page as image
param7: use param2 and param3 parameters
param8: print annotations
xfa.host.print((1, 1, 2, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0)

I am having problems printing with my HP 800PS design jet.

I am have problems printing with my HP 800PS design jet. I have to call IT all the time and it is losing its print settings and the print screen will freeze uot all the time. I am told that HP does not support this product any more.

This forum is focused on consumer level products. For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Designjet forum here.

Make sure you have SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
with FP 2.5 on top:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100002975192010E/cr2008fp25.exe
If the issue persists, since it is in the CR designer, post to the CR design forum:
SAP Crystal Reports
You need to resolve this in the designer, before trying to resolve it in a .NET application.
