Printing Cyrillic in Adobe Forms Layout Misaligned

Hi There, we are developing some forms for our Russian business that uses Cyrillic Characters. The build has been complete and the layout looks good in Print Preview. However, when we try to print the form to a LOCL printer, the layout doesn't match what we see on Print Preview and is mis-aligned.
I had seen similar problems before when printing to LOCL so I asked Basis to setup my laser printer on the SAP system (CP01) and I tried to print directly CP01, but when I did that, the first page came out with a number of Wingdings characters, and then 20 more blank pages.
Some interesting points to note, if I print it directly to CP01, the print comes out garbled, but if I then go to SP02 and view what was sent to the printer it appears fine. However, if I set my LOCL printer as my CutePDF printer (which basically converts output to PDF format) the output doesn't get rendered properly either. So I'm not sure it's fair to say that the issue is with the printer.
I have seen a number of posts on the forums regarding this issue but none of them have provided a clear resolution. My ideal solution would allow us to print to LOCL with the layout rendered exactly as it is on print preview.
Many Thanks for any help

Hi Folks,
Our team solved this issue by doing the following:
1) Changed Device type to SAPWIN (SAP recommended) in SPAD transactions for Output Device.
In SE73 Tcode we can see that SAPWIN supports TIMECYR (Cyrillic Characters).
2) In Tcode SCOT -> Settings -> Device types for Format Conversion
Changed PDF format conversion from PDF1 to PDFUC.
Thanks for your help

Issue While printing / Previewing a Adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP application

Dear All,
We have designed 4 different adobe forms using SFP transaction for 4 different countries in SAP system.
Every country have different terms and conditions and therefore we have placed static texts (Hardcoded text) with text in different styles. Some text is in bold, some in different font (Bold, Italic). Font and Paragraph settings of the text was done as per expected. All the forms have same font and paragraph settings.
When we Launch Web Dynpro ABAP application to open the form in Print preview or to take print, form is not getting displayed / printed as it is designed in SFP. But if you open the form in SFP, everything looks fine.
It is working fine for 3 different forms but problem with only 1 form.
Kindly guide what is the reason for this strange issue when previewed or taken print. It is very urgent.
Thanks,
Bharath.K

Dear All,
Thanks for your responses.
We had identified the reason.
Customer has provided terms and conditions for all 4 countries in PDF document. Along with PDF, for 3 out of 4 countries customer has shared pre-prepared word document with pre aligned and justified terms and conditions as per expected outcome. We copied this text from word to Adobe form layout. It worked fine. For 1 country, customer have not shared terms and conditions in word document. Therefore we had copied text directly from adobe PDF document in to Form layout. Then this issue happened.
Solution for this issue is to, prepared a word document with expected alignment and justification of terms and conditions text . Then copied from word to adobe livecycle designer form layout. It worked fine.
Thanks,
Bharath.

Standard print program for Adobe Forms

Hi all -
Does anyone know if there was a standard print program delivered for the predelivered Adobe form F110_AVIS_INT? And if there is - what is it? Is there any document anywhere to determine predelivered print programs for Adobe forms?
Your help is much appreciated!
Thanks
Abby

Hi
In SAP you can check for the Print Programs in Tcode <b>OB96</b>
which gives assignment of programs to script layouts
see the links related to Adobe forms

Item line data not flowing into SAP Adobe form layout

Hello Gurus,
I am currently working on adobe form layout for a sales document in SAP, i have created a master page
as well as a couple of pages in the design view. Data at the header level are working properly, but the item data
are not flowing into the layout, as nothing appears in the print preview for the item level of the sales document.
I have done all the necessary binding with all the right field names, my subform to the best of my knowledge seems to be well
defined, but yet to no avail.
I would like to know what yet could be the reason for this issue and how i can go about fixing it.
Thank you.
Ahm.

Hi Vijai,
In our project, we have the same requirement but I am one step behind than you. I am able to generate the PDF form but not able to generate the data. Means all the fields are coming as disabled fields.
Can you please send your code as a sample code so that I can have a look at that and check where I am doing wrong/missing. My id is sandeep.kamdar in gmail

Issue with Adobe Form Layout

Hi,
I have an issue with the Adobe Form Layout.Although I have added a field in the Context Menu of the Form Builder but the context has not been added to the Data View.
Could you please help me to understand how to include the parameters and structures that we define in the context and add them to the Data View in layout?As far as I know, it is done automatically.But in this case I don't understand what the problem is.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Sandeep.
<MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jul 14, 2009 4:10 PM

it is normally done automatically. Do ANY of your fields show in your DATA VIEW? Or, are you just missing the new one?
If you're only missing the new one, make sure your Context has the field defined correctly and generated.. Then make sure you have updated the mapping in your View Context and generated that.
After those 2 things, your field should now show.
You cannot, as far as I know, define an attribute as any sort of TABLE - we have a common structure that has several Table Types in it. When we import that structure, we have to delete those attributes and create Nodes to mimick those tables.
If you've accidentally included a Table type as an attribute, you won't see any fields in your Data View.
EDIT: by the way, there's an Adobe Interactive Forms Forum where you should ask these kinds of questions.

When i am trying to Activate an ADOBE Form Layout its "No Vendor specified"

Hi Friends,
I have created one interface with one field CARRID.
By using this interface I have created one simple ADOBE Form layout with one filed CARRID.
I specified all the properties for this object. Like default value, name etc...
when i tried to activate the form its showing the status message "No Vendor Specified"
And its not Activating. it remains as inactivate state.
Plz Any helps...
Regards,
Shree.

You're going to have to debug to figure out what the actual error message is. Just do a /h before hitting activate and set a break-point at the "message" abap statement.
SAP in it's infinite wisdom decided to change message 001 of message class 00 from &&&& to "No Vendor Specified". They didn't really think that one through though, because the ABAP construct (that SAP uses all over the place)
message [text] type [type]
is the equivalent of
message [type]001(00) with [text]
Because they changed the contents of the message, this construct (which hasn't been marked as obsolete, interestingly) is essentially worthless.
The last time I checked, there were a few OSS notes that address the issue - but they are specific for specific error scenarios changing the way the message is issued. I haven't seen a fix that changes message 001 of message class 00 back. But then, it's been a few weeks since I looked.

Adobe forms :Layout

Hi Gurus,
I am using Adobe forms for the first time. My requrement is to adjust Adobe form layout.
Ihave changed the width of Daat field and compliled but still i am not getting desired output.
My text is overlapping with neighbouring text.
Plz suggest why my layout changes are not geeting reflected in the PDF output.

Hi Sachin,
Put the text fields in the subform.
Select the subform and go to object pallette and make the content of the subform as "Flowed".
You can also select the Flow Direction from the second dropdown.
In layout tab, select the Auto-Fit checkbox for width and height.
Hope this will help.

Print PDF in Adobe form

Hi EXpert...
I have a documen in PDF format.. I want to print this in classical adobe form as a photo.. is this possible???
thanks,
Shri

Hi Shri,
As per my understanding you want to do the reverse scenario.You need to create Adobeform through an existing PDF file.
If you want to do this...I don`t think it is possible because we create layouts in Adobeform like SMARTFORMS & SCRIPTS and you are trying to create layout through your existing output.
Please let me know also if it is possible.

Adobe Form Layout

Dear All
I am using an Adobe Form to print Purchase Requisition (PR). Form layout include three parts , PR Header, Body and Footer. Each part is embedded on three separate content areas. Body Part include a table which is expandable but the issue is that when it expands, it gets overlap on footer of PR. I want to expand body part on next page and keeping header footer on every page.
How can this be achieved.
Thanks

Hi Adnan,
Whenever you use a dynamic structure like Table in ur Adobe form, u need to use the Flow content for the Subform and not Position content.
And any other Subform following the flow content shall be a flow content. only then it changes the position based on the flow.
In your case, the footer is made as Position content i guess, that is why the table is overlapping on the footer. change the subform of the footer to Flow content, it will work,
Hope i have answered your problem

Printing graphics in Adobe forms

Hi,
I have a requirement in adobe forms where I need to print graphics stored as standard text (SO10) or on document server (SE78) by calling them inside a long text.
The client was doing this in legacy with SAP script and it was working fine but adobe form does not support this feature (as far as I know)
Is there any way we can print graphics by calling them inside long text?
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Regards.

Hi,
To print the graphic from SE78 in Adobe form you need to do the following steps.
1. Convert the graphic into graphic_content(XSTRING) using
call method cl_ssf_xsf_utilities=>get_bds_graphic_as_bmp
2. Create Graphic node in Context in Adobe form with the properties
Grphic type as graphic content
Field as graphic_content(XSTRING)
MIME type as 'BMP'
3. In layout create an image field and bind it to graphic node created in context.

Raju.

You do need Adobe LiveCycle Designer and can download the installer from SAP Service
