Printing multiple documents

Hello FORM experts!
I have a question here..
In my program I generate multiple documents and then want to print them all at once with one button click.
Document info is in a table which is also written into the database table.
How should this work, should I give my smartform calling function some extra parameters to print them all or should I pass all the info to the smartform and make it print them all there with a loop or sth.?
I'll explain some more..
I have a report which then generates special kind of invoices...
when invoices are generated there's a list of them displayed...
Now I would like with one button to call out a smartform and print them.
I want 1 pop-up print screen for all the invoices.
Right now, I get a pop-up for every single invoice it is printing
Thank you!

Hi,
You can try the following.....Loop at your final internal table and call subroutine printform.In which you will call ur smartform for printing.
Write the following code....

How can I use Adobe Acrobat X Standard to print multiple documents on Lexis Nexis File & Serve?

I am unable to print multiple documents on the Lexis Nexis File & Serve legal website that used their Batch Document Processor software. The technicians there told me that Adobe Acrobat X Standard has an incompatibility with their Batch Document Processor software. I never had a problem with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 or Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and the Batch Document Processor program at the Lexis Nexis File & Serve website. I am now running Windows 7 Professional SP1. Before, we were running Windows XP Professional SP3 with the IE 8.0 browser. We now are running the IE 9.0 browser.

The answer is in the question...
Only the Pro version of Acrobat is capable of batch processing files (which
I assume the Lexis Nexis tool uses). Until now you had Acrobat Pro, and now
you have Acrobat Standard, and therefore you can't use it anymore. You need
to upgrade to Acrobat Pro.

Query regarding Printing multiple documents

Hi,
We would like to know how we can print multiple documents at once not one by one in SAP.
Presently we are using FB03 to print the GL document one by one.
Thanks
Pooja Gupta
SAP FICO Consultant

HI,
We also encountered with the same problem and now we are using HP solution for it.
There are four major problems with the SAP print spool process:
1. Limited bidirectional communication between the SAP environment and the underlying operating
system (UNIX, Linux, and related systems). After the file transfer to the host, the only information
that passes between the two environments is whether the file still remains in the print queue (if the
SAP environment is configured to enable polling).
If the file is no longer present in the hosts print queue, the SAP environment assumes that the file
has printed. If the file disappeared for any other reason, such as a reboot of the operating system
or if the printer is turned off, the assumption is not correct. SAP proceeds to process the next
output request and the file simply disappears, leaving no trace of the failure.
Most often, SAP sets the status flag to complete after transferring the request to the host spool
system. This action is a false positive because it actually indicates the handoff is complete, but not
that the job is printed. It aggravates users and increases calls to the helpdesk.
2. The lpr command passes only very specific instructions to the host spooler. The host only attempts
to deliver the file to the specified printer; it does not wait for the printer to confirm that the last
pages printed. It does not perform transformations, repackage the data, or redirect the file to
another printer. Nor does the host track the file and keep a record of what happens. The lpr
command (in some of the UNIX-related distributions) does allow an option to send an e-mail at
completion of a print job, but this option can quickly clog up the e-mail system and is rarely used.
3. Users have to make all adjustments to data within SAP before initiating the print request using the
capabilities already programmed into the SAP environment. This limitation includes advanced
print features such as staple, duplex, and resize, although administrators can enable the SAP
spool work process to handle these types of functionality by creating a new print driver. Further
extensions require additional programming within the environment.
4. A relatively inflexible and unfriendly input process can cost money and slow business processes.
For example, reports often need to go to people in different offices or at different sites. Users must
create multiple output requests in order to send the documents to multiple destinations, or users
must send the report to a print center where someone (extra headcount) collects the multiple
copies and mails them to the recipients (extra mailing costs and extra time). Sending reports by
fax or e-mail require a different set of steps, which further burdens the user.

Printing multiple documents from CV04N

Hi friends,
I have a list of documents arrived thru CV04N transaction. Now I need to print multiple documents at one go. When I select a group of documents and clicked the Print Icon at the top of the list, the system is printing only the first document in the group. My requirement is all the document in the group needs to be printed.
Any pointers on how to achieve this.

How do I batch print multiple documents?

We often print a number of different docs but we are changing to Win7 and our present way of doing this won't work in the new software.

Bluesman123 wrote:
This works for a doc at a time but we often have thirty or more to do. One at a time takes too long.
There is no limit to the number of docs you can print in one go. However, it will be difficult to select multiple documents if they are not in the same folder.

Smartform error while printing multiple documents

Hi Friends,
When I am trying to print individual documents the Smartform output is correct but when I select multiple documents its showing an error that says ' Table GRAPH does not fit into the window'. When I change the GRAPH node it says some other node does not fit. And it goes on.
Is there any easy way to correct this error ?
Please help.
Regards,
Dikshitha G

Hi Dikshitha,
First you need to check whether you have used TABLE under a secondary window or Main window? When you use table GRAPH under MAIN window then automatically next page will be printed and Window width adjusts automatically. Only make sure Hight and Width of Window should not be less than the Table. Click on Output tab of Main window and not down hight and width similarly check for TABLES.

Printing multiple documents in single pdf on double sided printer

What is the best way to print a PDF document with a large number of documents so that the start of a successive document does not end up printing on the back page of the prior document? Each document has a cover page and could be used as a "key", but not sure how to set that "cover page" as the key which could then be used to instruct the printer to start on a new page - almost as if a new print job??

http://www.a-pdf.com/?product-mg
is a program which you can select a bunch of pdf files and combine them into one pdf. In the options pane , you can tell it to automatically add a blank page at the end of each odd numbered pdf file. You can simply then print the new combined pdf double sided on your copier, and it would print correct.
If you want to still have the pdf as separate pdfs, in Options you can select " bookmark by file name" before combining.
After combining, view the new pdf in Acrobat and you can 'split pdfs by top level bookmarks.

Printing multiple sets of Portfolio documents collated

I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro's pdf Portfolio to print multiple documents with similar printing properties (two-sided, stapled, hole-punched) but they are separately two-sided and separately stapled. I try doing multiple copies but the print job comes out with 20 copies of document 1 of the porfolio followed by 20 copies of document 2 of the porfolio, and so on. How is it possible for me to make multiple sets of the portfolio which are by set rather than by document?

I am also looking for an answer to this question.

Can we print multiple excise invoice documents with one click?

Hello,
SAP has provided with t-code 'J1IP' for printing excise invoice documents. But for printing multiple documents we need to click print button each time for every new document. is there any other way by which you can print bulk excise documents without clicking print button each time?
Thanks in advance.
Neha

Hi Neha,
It is possible on SAPB1.
Try to Use the Document Printing Window on Financials or Marketing or Banking Module..
Try this,
->> Financials.
-> Choose Document Printing.
->> Open the Document Printing Window.
->> Select the Document Type - Incoming (or) Outgoing Excise Invoice.
for example, IF you Select the Document Type - Incoming Excise Invoice.
->> Select the require Series.
-> your requirement wise, put the tick mark of Open Only or &Only Documents Still to Be Printed.
->> put the Posting Date From Date & To Date.
->> Assign the No. of Copies - 1 or Your wishes.
->> Click the OK button, than will Open the Print Incoming Excise Invoice Window.
->> Choose all Incoming Excise Document (select all row).
->> Click the Print button.

Printing Multiple Word Documents?

HI,
I'm using Panther 10.3.9. How do I print a batch of MS Word .doc files ? I've created a desktop printer and when I drag a bunch of .doc files to it only one file prints! argh... I dragged a folder to the desktop printer and I got a directory listing ... double argh....
Is it possible to do this? And is it possible to do this without seeing the print dialog each time ???
Thanks,
Pete

Hi, Peter.
I would also like to be able to print multiple documents straight from the Desktop by dragging and dropping or using a keyboard shortcut. It's been so long since I used OS 8 or OS 9 that I can't remember if I was dreaming or not, but I'm pretty sure that in the old OSes you could just drag and drop or click Cmnd+P and print away.
I've tried using Automator to make an application (have'nt got the hang of it yet), using a desktop printer and searching for an Applescript on the net; all to no avail. It seems that Word behaves differently depending on whether it's open already and whether there is already a blank document open in it or not. That is, if it has to launch before printing, it opens a new, blank document and prints that (or sometimes does nothing even though the printer launches). However, if Word is already open (but has no other document open) it will print all the documents. As you say, though, you have to then select "print" from the resulting dialogue box for each document. So, it's hardly elegant. As someone said elsewhere, it's more of a "bug" than a "feature".
So, what we need (as far as I can see) is an Automator appplication or workflow (or AppleScript) where 1. you drop a bunch of Word (or other) documents into a folder; 2. Word launches; 3. the new, blank document that automatically opens is closed (by some kind of "close all open windows command"); 4. the documents are sent to the current default printer;5. they all print.
Surely all the publishers who use Macs must use this kind of thing all the time.
I wrote to the guys at CocoaTech (who make Path Finder, an excellent Finder substitute) about this problem and they said they'd consider adding the feature, but at the same time seemed a bit confused about exactly what this feature was or why anyone would want to use it.
Does anyone know of a solution to this?
Cheers

DMS: Print mutiple Documents(originals) through CV04n List of DIRS directl

Hi All,
Is it possible to Print Multiple documents through cv04n list of douments, i.e i will select the documents from the list, say 10 documents & click on the print tab. When i tried it prints only the frist document(original), how can print the all selected documents in one go.
Is there any config or any userexist & badi for that?
Help will be appriciated.
Regards
Nishant..

Hi Nishant,
Multiple originals printing is not possible in std SAP, since it involves Multiple application types (like cad,word,excel) and multiple drawing sheet sizes (A3&A4).
You need to go for a third party software which provides this solution and support. You can be in touch with following solution providers.
1. Cideon (http://cideon.de/cideon/en/so/index.php)
2. Seal systems. (http://www.sealsystems.de/com/outputman/engineering_printing.php)
Send me your email ID, i can send few documents.
