Not Able to Print in PDF Format Apex

we are not able to print in pdf format with using a template, if we use default layout we are getting a pdf output,
Can any one please help me on this issue....
Thanks
Malleswar

Hello Malleswar,
we are not able to print in pdf format with using a template, if we use default layout we are getting a pdf output,If your scenario with APEX Listener is generally capable of producing a PDF when using a working template, than the error is very likely to be in your template, not in APEX Listener.
If that's the case, you'll probably find more people with experiences on how to build custom xsl-templates into your APEX application in the APEX forum: {forum:id=137}.
If you decide to post there (or even if you think it's better to continue here), please provide information on your APEX and APEX Listener version and whether you see some error information in APEX Listeners log when trying your own template or not. If you don't see anything there right now, enabling debug mode will make the log more verbose and probably provide a hint on which part of your template can't be processed properly by the FOP built into APEX Listener.

Problem Printing to Large Format Printers From SGD

I am having a problem printing to large format printers when using the PDF printing option for SGD. The SDG Universal PDF Viewer recognizes the print format that I specify but on the client device side the pdf that is produced is always Letter size. If a larger format is speciied the client side pdf displays a small portion of it - almost as if it were clipped at the Letter size. Has anyone experienced this. Is it an SGD problem per se or is it an issue with the Ghostscript configuration and if so is ther a way I can change the config?
I am running 4.6.2 in an RHEL5 environment. The application server I am primarily working with is Windows Server 2008. The printers I have tried to print larger formats to are HP CLJ 2800 PS (Tabloid size), HP Designjet Z6100 (E size), and HP DesignJet 4020ps(E size). In all cases the plot appears to have been clipped into a Letter size format on the client device side.
Thanks,

You may have encountered a limitation with the GARO driver, especially if it is connected to the USB port of the Express. We have an iPF8100 but it is connected directly to our network via Ethernet so I've never tested the printer via USB. But if the driver is anything like the consumer inkjet drivers, there is often issues with the driver determining the printer model on the end of the USB and this stops the printer queue creation.
Have you tried connecting the printer via Ethernet to the Express and then seeing if you can add the printer queue? You will have to set an IP address in the machine if DHCP is not enabled.

Search report - error-no data found when printing to csv format

Hi all,
I have a search report,
I have 4 select list and two text field and two date field to search for the result.
I have even put the computation for the select list items in
on load - before header ie setting the items to default value.
Still when i try to print it in the csv format , and try to open the excel, it is saying "no data found" error
Please, Could any one give me a solution to solve this bug?
Note: Ordinary report is getting printted in the csv format.
Thanks in advance
bye
Srikavi

Hi Denes and Scott,
sorry, only when i select the values for all the 4 select list
csv is working. default values are not restored in the session.
How to restore the values in the session state after pressing the search button.
i have set the default values for the select list and the query is working fine
but when i see the session from the toolbar the default values are not present.
but when i see the debug from the toolbar the values are set properly.
@Denes
In your example the session is showing the values of the select list and check box
The same way i did, but in "session" values are not seen so again no data found is seen when printing csv .
Bye

Apps report print on PDF format

Hi all,
I want to print my report from apps in PDF format, so can anyone tell me how to print report from apps in PDF format.
Is there any document ID in metalink or can anyone tell me the complete steps for taking report in PDF format.
Thanks & Regards

In the earlier version of apps (before 11.5.10), we used to do it using bitmap reports. Now we can use XML Publisher, it is easier to design the layout in rtf rather than bitmap report (rdf).
Check Metalink Note: 278727.1 for more information.

Printing envelope not formatted correctly on custom size 8.75 by 5.75

Printers and All-In-Ones running win 7 64 bit, officejet 8600 pro all update current, In works 2007 word processor or 2011 Hallmark card progam. downloaded latest driver and reinstalled same (deleted original dr and rebooted first). Envelope is correctly positioned, address prints at top of flap side return address is missing. On plain paper (8.5X11) test print, address & return address appears to be in correct position.

I have the same problem with the same size paper (aka Invitation or Statement size), and have an additional problem with printing to the corresponding envelope size which is a Standard A9 (5.75"x8.75"). These are both standard size papers for the U.S. and are used in printing wedding invitations. I don't understand why there are programmed sizes for Japanese stationary, but not for all standard U.S. size formats (that will fit in the main feed tray) or the ability to create a Custom Size format.
Because these features weren't available, I ended up paying a local printer to print my New Year's cards (an expense I wasn't anticipating that equaled half the purchase price of the printer). And, since I can't print on the envelopes I will need to print labels, which I was hoping to avoid because I hate applying labels to envelopes.
HP, please update the software to allow customers to print to all appropriate Standard Size US formats or allow for customization, otherwise my next printer will be purchased from a manufacturer that does provide this ability.

Need help to print in PDF format using Adobe Reader with FireFox and a FileOpen plug-in. Can't get anything to work.

I am trying to print clothing patterns on my printer and they must be in PDF format. I was told I needed Adobe Reader, a FileOpen plug-in, and finally Firefox Plug-in. I downloaded all of this and I still cannot open anything in PDF format. Thank you Bonita Rainey

call the same smartform(Function generated from smartform) in your bsp application, get the otf outof it, convert that to pdf and show it. follow your previous thread and check the blog mentioned there.

Purchase Order print in PDF format directly to vendor

Hi Experts,
I have two requirements regarding PO print out to vendor. I am using release strategy for Purchase Order.
1. When the Purchase Order is fully approved, a mail should go to corrosponding vendor with PO print out in PDF format as an attachment.
2. When PO is cancelled (all PO lines are deleted) then mail should go to vendor that PO has been cancelled.
Please let me know the steps / procedure for these requirements.
regards,
Anand.

Anand,
Hi again!!
Are you planning to send an email to the vendor?
This is possible in many ways..
1. you could send a normal out put via EDI and the vendor can convert the xml file to PDF at his end
2. You could send it as a FAx and the vendor can still receive it as a PDF
3. You can email the vendor in a PDF format
I am sure you understand how an email is sent to the vendor.. You'd have to work with samrtforms to convert the O/p to PDF or convert the spool to PDF.

ALV Report printing to A3 format

Hi
We have written an ABAP ALV report to extract information from any number of Sales Orders from a given set of criteria. A number of layouts have been created. The layouts have been defined by the business (as they wanted the same format as they were previously used to). The default layout is about 337 columns wide, thus sending it over the 255 A4 limit. I can print the layout on an A4 landscape on 2 sheets of paper, but this is not practical when you have up to 30 pages of content (thus 60 sheets of A4 paper).
As such, I am experimenting with printing to A3. This is what I have tried so far (from information gleaned from Forum posts and elsewhere):
Created a new Page Type (used template DINA3 to create ZDINA3.
Created a new Format Type (e.g. Z_65_400_A3) and use ZDINA3 with 65 rows and 400 columns.
Assigned this new Format Type to a Device Type, in this case, SWIN.
In the Device Type, I have had to change the List Handler printer driver to "Print driver for SWIN using SAPLPD/Windows", otherwise I end up with 3 lines.
I have also set the paper size on the printer to A3, but nothing else. Leaving this as A4 results in an A4 print!
I have set up a number of Escape characters in the Device Type configuration:
Printer Initialzation
SAPWIN data stream
\e%SAPWIN%
\i<::XPAGES>
\i<::XPGINIT>
\i<::XPARAM>
\i<::XLINEMOD>
\i<::XFONT>
End Of Page
\f
End of Line
\n
XLINEMOD: Line handling
##usage: Line handling
##DO NOT CHANGE the first two lines!
output complete line with one call (do not use for proportional fonts)
\eOa1
XPARAM: Local settings
##usage: Local settings
##DO NOT CHANGE the first two lines!

\eS92X
#8,5 lpi
\el8.5;
XPGINIT: Orientation
##usage: Orientation
##DO NOT CHANGE the first two lines!
Landscape-Mode
\ePL
I have tried to use the same example as <a href="http://www.sap-img.com/basis/how-can-i-print-a3-format-in-sap.htm">http://www.sap-img.com/basis/how-can-i-print-a3-format-in-sap.htm</a> but although I am getting an A3 sheet of paper, there are still issues with it:
Portrait instead of Landscape
Text appears to be double line spaced
Font is very small (believe this can be resolved by specifying the size of a font)
Firstly, any tips or tricks on printing to A3?
Secondly, what is the List Driver checkbox used for on the Format Type (other than to show the portrait and landscape page types)?
I do tend to scan these forums before posting, but in this case I have not managed to resolve this by looking in the Forum or elsewhere.
Many thanks
Nick

Hi
Due to getting no joy with this, I ended up creating an A3 Smartform and using a Windows printer capable of printing it. I also have the option of an A4 or A3 sheet in the Selection Screen, so this gives me the output in the format that was needed.
Defining a Printer Output definition proved too tricky and I had to find a way to do it.
Whether you can use a Smartform to print your ALV grid across several pages I do not know, but might be worth considering. I used a custom print button to trigger the correct page size (as selected on the Selection Screen).

Nick

Can I print a document formatted for a smaller page size on larger paper?

I have a document that is formatted for a small size for a booklet using a customer paper size setup, 21 x 24 cm. I want to print this on A4 paper for proofreading. But when I do so, the printer (a Brother laser printer) spits out giant pages enlarged to A4. When I try to reduce the scale percentage, it reduces down to the right font size, but reflowed into the A4 size.
Is there a way to just have it print in its true size in the middle of the A4 sheet?

You could change the percent in File > Page Setup. But I think fruhulda's suggestion of using PDF would probably result in better resolution although any enlarging will likely cause some loss.

Smartform Printing in PDF format

Hi all,
I am looking to print standard SmartForms in PDF output.
I have printed a standard SmartForm to the spool. I convert the spool job to PDF using function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.   From this I get a new spool request titled "#####(original spool no) converted to PDF format".
My Basis team has create a new printer with device type PDF1 which I have used during this function module.
However this PDF spool shows up as odd characters. It also does not print as expected, again it prints the odd characters.
Obviously I'm missing something - does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks-

Within SP01, viewing the spool request, I see the following characters:
═䑆ⴱ⸳ഊ◢팍ਲ⁯扪
祰攠⽔祰攱ഊ>
〰‱〰〠㄰〰‵>
‱〰〠〠〠〠>
㈰‷㈰‷㘰‷㘰>
⽁獣敮琠㜲>
ਯ䱡獴䍨慲′>
㔳㠠㔳㠠㠵>    Etc....
EDIT: I note that when I submit this post, the characters change. I'm seeing 'symbols' mainly, some Asian characters (the form should be in English).
When printing, it comes out with something like:
%PDF-1.3
%aDuE
2 0 objtype /Type1
/BaseFont /H00 1000 1000 520 1000 74 1000 0 0 0 0
/CapHeight
     /LastChar 255
%Charwid8 592 779 650 650.   etc
/F002 6 0 R
Date=(0000000)
@SAP_OB    End TOA_DARA
>>
endob00327 00000 n
and so on...
For now we would like to validate the PDF printing before modifying any new print programs to automate the process.
Thanks-
