Printing pdf or pcl from abap

Hi experts,
may be my problem is to simple, but I can't find an answer in the forum.
I want to print a pdf or pcl (either format will work) on a printer. This printing should happen in an ABAP
program. In this program I get the file via a web service as XSTRING. I also have the destination from the printer in a table from type NAST.
So the question is, what command, program, BAPI, class or whatever can I use to print this file on the
designated printer?
Regards
Torsten

Print pdf file directly from a folder, Adobe Reader X in Windows Server 2003

In previous versions of Adobe Reader we were able to print pdf files groupwise directly when selected in a folder.
Now I've installed Reader X on the Windows Server 2003 environment. Logged in as administrator I can still select <Print> by selecting the right mouse button in a folder. Logged in as a user, this is not available.
I checked user-rights and permissions and made sure they have full control.
Someone who can help us in this matter?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
The file menu doesn't show the print option either. We used to work this way, after installing the 9.0 and Reader X version, this option has disappeared from both the File menu and the right mouse button. For other filetypes, for example Excel the Print option is still available and works properly. Logged in as administrator on the serverconsole, there is no problem. So it seams to be something specific to pdf-formats in a server 2003 environment. The userrights are all set on full control (same as administrator).
Thanks again

Exctract signatures from PDF with ADS from ABAP

Hello
we have a PDF signed document in ABAP system, we use the Adobe document services and use the Abap object method
if_fp_pdf_object-get_signatures to excract the signature data from an abap program.
The call to adobe document service return the sirnature parsed and only return the next data:
Field Name     SFLY Signature 0
Status     Cannot check signature

we need exctract the complete pkcs7 object from the adobe document, not only the parsed data of the signature.
Is there any way to do this from an abap program ????
thanks
regards

Hi,
Thanks for the answer, but don't solve our problem, with the method GET_SIGNATURE que ADS return us an xml with the signature data like status of the signature, date, etc.. but we need extract from the pdf objet the complete pkcs7 object.
I supose that ADS internally can do this to extract the signature data, bur the problem is that i don't know if ADS expose this funcionality externally to be called from ABAP system.
Thanks

How can i print data in smartforms from ABAP program.

Dear gurus:
in my abap program i process require data, and saved in a internal table.
how can l print the data in smartforms.?
who can give me a code sample is better:)
reward all helpful advise.

Try this....
1) Tcode --> SmartForms
2) Form name --> Z_SF_TEST Create
3) Under Global settings
a) Form Interface
 Table Tab
 ITAB LIKE EKPO
b) GLOBAL Definitions
WA_NETPR LIKE EKPO-NETPR
In smart forms if we want to display quantity and currency fields. We can't directly display currency field and quantity fields
For that we have to create an extra variable in global definitions
Ex: netpr FIELD of EKPO
CREATE program lines and specify WA_NETWR = itab-netpr.
4) RT CLick on main Window
 CREATE --> TABLE
Click Table painter
DEFAULT %LTYPE will be Created
a) If you want more like Header footer etc add by rt click on %LTYPE1
Table (Tab)
%LTYPE Radio(SELECT) 5 CM 5 CM 6 CM
CLICK on DATA (Tab)
INTERNAL TABLE ITAB LIKE ITAB
5)RT click on table control and create --> program lines
General attribute (Tab)
INPUT PARAMETER OUTPUT PARAMETER
itab WA_NETPR
Code Area
WA_NETWR = ITAB-NETPR.
6) RT CLcick on table ctl and create 3 text to display the fields
a) % text1 +button(insert field)
 FIELD name &itab-ebeln&
Output options (tab)
Check New line LINETYPE %Ltype1
check new cell
b) % text2
 & itab-ebelp&
output options
check new cell
c) % text2
 & wa_netpr&
output options
check new cell
Report ac
Tables ekpo.
Data: itab1 like ekpo occurs 0 with header line.
select * into table itab1 from ekpo.
Call function module --> smart form function module and pass your internal table

Printing pdf files made from Filemaker docs on HP 7410 cuts off top margin

Just bought a MacBook Pro and jumped from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Also bought FileMaker 10 replacing the FileMaker 8.5 I used up till the MacBook Pro purchase and system upgrade.
Still using the same HP 7410, but during installation, I think I remember upgrading the printer driver. At any rate, this HP Printer is now much more responsive. It was previously very slow.
When I now save documents printed as pdf's from filemaker (as I used to) and then try to print them on the HP 7410, they open fine in Preview showing the whole page with no text cut off. But when I press Print in preview and I get the HP driver preview of what will print as part of the print dialogue box, it shows the top margin of the page cut off (down to at least 1/2 ") and actually prints that way. Before the switch to Snow Leopard and the MacBook Pro, a top margin of 1/4 " worked fine and printed in pdf docs.
(top margins of 1/4" on Word & Excel documents I tested still seem to print fine)
I use the borderless printing work-around, but that seems inelegant. It also takes much, much............much longer to print when it's in that mode (even fast draft).
Why is this happening?
Is there a setting I am missing?
Can this be fixed?
Steve

What print driver are you using?
I set my printer to use the open source Gutenprint driver in place of the one supplied with my printer to resolve an issue I was having - see my post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1626340&tstart=0
The Gutenprint home page is http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3

How to print PDF files directly from SAP?

We have created output that is being saved in a PDF format. We can store it on any drive or send it through email. However, we would like to be able to print a PDF file directIy without any manual intervention. Now users still have to open the file and hit the print button and we want to avoid this. So basically we want to be able to create e.g. a sales order, generate an order confirmation in PDF format and send it directly to the output device that we stored in output master data. I have a feeling it is not possible to print directly because output device has to be like a PDF1 to create the PDF file itself and there is no space left somewhere to store the physical output device. We use ECC 5.
kind regards

Since switching from Chrome, I can't print .pdf attachments directly from my gmail. Please help.

It used to be (in Chrome) that I could view a .pdf attachment in gmail and from there print. Now in Firefox, when I view a .pdf attachment the print option is there and the print dialogue box comes up when I click it, but once I hit "OK" nothing comes out of the printer. I can print emails and other items, so it's not a printer connectivity problem or a problem with the print setup in Firefox. The only items affected are .pdf attachments in my gmail account. I've tried switching .pdf readers and turning off Protected Mode in Adobe. Please help!

Directly print PDF form in WebDynpro ABAP

Hello folks,
one little question.
Is it possible to directly print an PDF form in an WebDynpro Abap Application?
Thanks,
Alex

I don´t understand your question. You don´t provide much information.
You have 2 options:
1) write a printing program (like non-WDA form etc.) and run it in background
2) tell user to use the Reader embedded in WDA window to print his/her form

Can't Print PDF files exported from Pages

I spent all weekend creating a 25 page document - exported it to PDF and it won't print at all. Sent it to 50 customers before I discovered the problem
I used the same fonts and template last year in a document in Version 1 of Pages and had no problems.
I can print directly from Pages and also no problems printing if I export to Word but not PDF which is of course the format I require!
I checked the security setting in Acrobat and none are set so it sould be fine!
Help!?!

Can you open and print the the file in Preview? I found Acrobat Reader a little flakey with X and deleted it from my system. I use Preview for everything.
Instead of the export feature have you tried printing to pdf? See if it makes any difference.

Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

Hello,
In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Print PDFs from Website Without Header

Is there a way to print PDFs in safari from websites where it does not inclue the header and footer informaition with the website URL, time etc?

In Safari when you hint "Print" it opens up the print dialog. On the bottom you have the point "Print headers and footers." If you don't see the extended print options click on the arrow in the upper right corner.
