Printing/Converting Office documents from SAP

Hi all,
When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.
is there another way to print office documents from SAP and reveice feedback?
Another question:
Is there a way to convert office documents (doc, xls, ppt)to pdf files without using external program?

Hi All,
I am also facing the same problem,
When I try to print office documents by using CV120_START_APPLICATION. I don't receive feedback from the application (ie: Word, Excel etc) to SAP about error/success of printing.
Is there another way to print office documents from SAP or should I use some other FM like CV120_GET_APPL_FROM_REGISTRY?
Advance thanks.

Balaji Viswanath.

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

Hi there,
This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
Background:
In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint. We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search. Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
Note: I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility. I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works. It just seems to be these
particular PDFs.
I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion. I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
looking for.
Another note: When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue? Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
You can take steps as below for verifying:
Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
Go to File -> Properties.
Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.

Printing Microsoft Office documents

I migrated from an iMac 24" with Snow Leopard to an iMac 27" with Mountain Lion. The result is that I cannot print Microsoft Office documents, nor Open Office, nor iWork documents, nor Adobe acrobat professional documents. All the programs crash and close suddenly when I try, even before the "choose printer" frame
The only way is to open the documents with the application "Anteprima" (i do not know the english name, could be Preview?) but this is a cumbersome procedure and altering the original formats.
Does anybody else have the same problem?

To access your user library
Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Export Excel Documents from SAP Business One

Hello Guys,
I have been having a problem with one of our customers regarding the export of documents from SAP Business One to Excel, Whenever a user tries to export a list to Excell SBO first exports it to a txt file. I found a thread where some of you had recommended to follow the steps of this procedure in order to allow the system to export the file directly into Excel:
1. On your desktop go To: "Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Microsof Excel
2. In Excel go to:"Tools #> Options #> General" Tab.
3. De-select the tick-box "Ignore Other Applications"
In order to de-select the "Portection from Macro Viruses"
1. In Excel go to:"Tools -> Macro -> Security"
2. Set the security level to "Medium".
Change path from 'Local' to 'Server'
1. Define the path:
a) Choose "Administration"
b) Choose "System Initialization"
c) Choose "General Settings"
d) Select the "Path" tab
e) Define a path for the Excel folder by using the Browse (...)
option
Press 'Export to Excel' to open the 'AutoOpen.xls
Make sure you change / remove the 'Local;=True' Statement accordingly,
meaning:
Excel is Starting from the server: remove the statement.
Excel is Starting from the client: add the statement.
The Excel folder should be located in a shared Folder in the server and
it should contain the "AutoOpen.xls" file.
I followed all the steps up until the step where it tells me to press "Export to Excel" to open the "AutoOpen.xls" ( I believe it refers to the Excel Export Command) however when I click the icon it does not open the 'AutoOpen.xls. Does anybody know what the problem might be?? ( I checked the AutoOpen.xls" file and it does exist in the excel folder located in the shaerd folder)
I`d sure appreciate your help guys!!

Hi Manuel,
Can you make sure your path is :
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Server\B1_SHR\ExclDocs\
Test with this and see what is your result ..make sure you are exporting with folder with Sharing folder B1_SHR .
Hope this helps

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape. That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print. The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format. I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Problems with printing MS Office docs from web-mail in Safari

Hello,
I have some problems when I try to print MS Office documents which are the attachments in my web-mail in Safari. I open the attachment online without saving it on my computer. Safari shows a blank page in Print Preview and the printer prints a blank page too. We tried to repeat it with another printer and with another iMac. The result is the same. PDF files have no problem with previewing and printing. Does anybody know how to resolve this problem? Thank you!

Hi, thank you for your comment. I tried this, but the list of plug-ins doesn't have Adobe PDF browser plugin (or PDF browser plugin). The screenshot is attached....
Do you have any other idea? ) Thanks!

Problem to open Office documents from Sharepoint

Hello All,
We have published SharePoint 2013 (NTLM authentication) via TMG 2010. However, we are having the following issue:
When users try to open (https connection) any Office Documents to Office 2013 they get prompted for credentials, then after they provide credentials they get "Sorry, we couldn't open <URL of the document>". The prompt for credentials is ok because
persistent cookies are not option for us. We don’t have Office Web Apps in use and we want to open documents to client application. Our company users machines are Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 10/11.
I made some tests and everything work fine with:
Windows 7, Office 2010 and Internet Explorer 10/11
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 8
Almost fine:
Windows 7, Office 2013 and Firefox (latest). With Firefox it works if I open any Office document from summary link list but not if I try to open from inside document library. If I open from document library (right click) to new tab or to new window it works
fine.
Any ideas what’s going on? It must be something with IE 10/11 and Office 2013. I also tried with TMG persistent cookie and then I can open Office documents with IE 10/11.
I also checked with fiddler what happens and I can see that everything stops to 401 error.
Thank you,

Hello Miikkal,
You need to enable SharePoint class in IE. Please follow this
blog and follow this
article.
Once, this is done you can Enable all the IE settings to load for Intranet and Trusted zone settings
Put your site in compatibility mode and trusted zone
Also, make sure that 2 versions of Office suite is not installed on the system. Eg. Lync 2013 and Office 2010 on one single machine
What happen when you by pass your TMG server. To do this we need to make host entry for URL directed to APP server IP Address.
Thank You, Pallav S. Srivastav ----- If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered.

Not able to open office documents from SharePoint site using Forms auth on a Mac with Office 2011

I posted the same question on the Mac Office forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/not-able-to-open-office-documents-from-sharepoint/7fba517b-ebd1-4e90-a54a-c70c5f035146?tm=1418836613595) but figured it's probably more
of a SharePoint question so I'm going to try here as well.
We just discovered an issue where a user logs into a SharePoint site using Forms based authentication. When clicking on an Office file they get
'Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you' message:
The user can download the file and can also open the file within the browser (Office Web apps). This SharePoint site is on a Web app that uses mixed authentication (forms for external partners) and Windows/Kerberos for internal employees.
When logging into this same site as an internal user I am able to open the file just fine.
I checked the 'Microsoft Document Connection' settings and selected and deselected 'Enable Basic Authentication' and neither helped.
I also tried to add the site URL under 'Microsoft Document Connection' -> Add connection -> Connect to a SharePoint site. When I put the site URL in and click 'Connect', I get an error saying that 'Only connection to SharePoint or OneDrive
servers are supported' message. If I try the same thing as an internal user using Windows/Kerberos authentication I am able to connect to the site just fine.
Any ideas??

Hi Szamir,
As you are using Form Based authentication to open the documents from SharePoint site, I recommend to check the things below:
Make sure that the user has permission to view the documents in the site.
Please select "Sign me in automatically" when you sign in the login page.

Problem opening Office documents from KM

Hello, I have some problem opening Office documents from KM.
We stored a lot of office documents (Excel, Word ecc.) in a File System repository (the standard repository "/documents"), when I open one of these files, before to view the document, a little logon window appears, it asks portal user's credentials.
If the user presses the "Cancel" button the logon window will be closed and the document showed, but on the next attempt to open an office file the system will asks again the user information .
If the user gives the right information the documents will be showed and the logon window does not appear again..
How con I avoid the logon request for each Office document in my repository?
Any suggestion??
Best Regards

Thank you a lot Brad!!
We use Office 2003 and the note 549610 solves our issue!!

Can't open Office documents from network share

Dear,
I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.
When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it
opens fine.
Any idea?

Anybody?
We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents
within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.
I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
Anybody?
