  • Printing small legal document in front of every pdf output

    Hi ,
    I have a small documeent ( either doc or pdf) that needs to be printed in front of every pdf output of the report. This works fine in HTML output because we can add the name of the file to be pre-printed in the Report properties . But there is no such property for PDF output . Any workarounds ?

    I can store simple text in the DB . But i need to store Bold / Underline texts which must appear exactly in the report. I can store with tags . But that works only in HTML output . I need in PDF output.

  • Script PDF output is printing distorted

    Hi,
    At the time of printing script output I have set Option paramter 'ITPO' to generate spool request.I sent this spool request PDF output to external mail by SP01. But when I download this PDF output form mail and print, priting quality gets distorted. Why this is happening? Please help how to overcome this issue.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    What I deed and what I want is explained below:
    1. I have developed a script form and driver program which is used for invoice printing.
    2. Our client wants to send this invoice on external mail. What i deed for this that I am using the spool request which is created during the print of output.
    3. Then I am using transaction code SP01 to send spool PDF to external mail.
    4. This script PDF output is sent successfully on external mail as an attachment. User saves this PDF attachement and print on their printer.
    5. PROBLEM is when user open this attachment and prints this PDF, the printing gets distorted.
    Note: I have also used another way by function module and program, but the result is same, PDF attachemnt printing gets distorted. It is not the same as get printing through ZTCODE printing of this script.

  • Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

    Hi All,
            I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
            Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

    Hi Bogdan,
    The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
    I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
    Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
    Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
    Available fields are Font Name and File
    --> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
    --> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
    Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
    Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
    Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
    Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
    Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
    Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
    Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
    Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
    Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
    Select your new mapping set.
    Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
    Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
    Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

  • PDF output not printing specific Czech character

    Hi,
    On the XML template i have harcoded some Czech characters like, měna & Peněžní
    if any Czech character has small v on top of the character, then the report output prints as ? instead of that character. For examplae, měna & Peněžní in PDF output prints as m?na & Pen??ní . It prints rest of the Czech characters correctly. The issue happens only with PDF output. When i keep the Format as EXCEL then it prints the Czech characters correctly. Can any one help me on this issue.
    Thanks

  • Can't able to print Non English data properly in PDF Output

    Thanks&regards
    yamini

    Hi Yamini,
    I think this happens when you look at utf-8 in Windows wiith another character set. I've noticed that the XML file (and hence the PDF output) displays those characters when I preview reports on the BI desktop, but the output from the server is fine, so I don't worry about it.

  • Generating pdf output with webhelp look and functionality not like a print documentation

    Hi I have been using robohelp webhelp for our company online help documentation. Can I generate pdf output which has the same look and functionality as that of webhelp, using robohelp??

    Welcome to our community
    While you may certainly generate a PDF that contains the same information, it likely will not look exactly like WebHelp and it certainly will not behave as WebHelp.
    WebHelp is intended for on-line use while the PDF is really intended for printing if one chooses to.

  • TS1702 I downloaded ibooks to my ipad so I have a place to save PDF files.  I do not get the "open in ibooks" option.  Only get "mail" and "print" option.

    I downloaded ibooks to my ipad so that I can save PDF files to ibooks but I do not get an "open in ibooks" message to select.  When I choose the icon, I only get mail or print option.

    Where are these PDFs coming from?  What do you mean by "save PDF files to ibooks" and then "I do not get an 'open ibooks' message?  If they are saved to ibooks (I assume you used itunes to save a dragged in PDF to the ibooks panel in apps) then you should be able to open and view them in ibooks.  If they are not in ibooks (I'm assuming this is the case, since you want to get an "open in ibooks" option from the *share* icon, right?) then where are they on the mini, which app?

Maybe you are looking for
