Printing with template

Hello all-
Forgive me in advance if this question has been asked (searched, but could not find my answer). If I am using LR's 8x10 template with the default margins (mine show .25" on the top and sides, .56" at the bottom) what size will the actual print be? I ask because the frame I am using is pre-matted, with a display area of 7 3/8" x 9.5". I want the entire image to show, so on an 8.5" x 11" sheet, what should my margin settings be? As you can see, I'm a bit puzzled by this feature. I would do a text print, but my Canon sucks up ink like mad, and I'd like to get it right the first time. Many thanks to any who can help.

It just occurred to me that making the cell size the same as the display area of the matte should give me what I need, regardless of the margin settings. Does that make sense?

Problems with check printing RTF template

To BI Publisher Gurus,
I am working on the check printing RTF template and facing a few issues with page breaks, filling the insufficient invoice lines with template and positioning of the table(s) itself inside the RTF template.
For page break, am using the following piece of code just before the end of all of my FE loops.
<xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="position()-1<count($inner_group)"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:att:attribute></xsl:if>
the $inner_group is my group for G_INVOICES to loop through all the invoices of a check in G_CHECKS group.
The problem I'm facing is, everytime a check is printed its printing a blank page in between. Searched all the earlier forum posts but none of the solutions worked in my case.
Second issue, for filling the insufficient invoice lines (in my case, am printing 26 invoices per page per check), the call to the blank lines template is repeating twice and found no way to get rid of it.
Third issue, if the check is running into a second page, the call to the blank lines template does not work and the position of the bottom part of check is getting misaligned.
I am ready to send my template and the sample XML file to look at. Thanks for your time and effort.
-Uday

Hi Tim,
Hi Tim,
Could you please send me the sample rtf. We are also using APXPBFEG program for check printing..
Also I have problem in generating dots(....) in the check where if total invoices lines are 37 and we have only one line of invoice then I have to generate 36 dots (.) in the invoice porition of the check..
I appreciate your help..
Thanks

Help needed with Printer Friendly template.

Hi
I know there loads of posts on here about "Printer Friendly" Templates which are far from being printer friendly. My problem is that most of my reports are very wide and therefore if you print it you loss the right hand side of the report even if you change the page layout.
Any Ideas or working examples of getting my reports onto a page without it been cut off?

Can anybody help me?

Print Module templates layouts do not update on the fly

Print layouts do not update on the fly when attempting to choose between various Print Module>Template Browser> Lightroom or User templates. This occurs in all three Layout Styles. The very first layout chosen in Single Image/Contact Sheet, Picture Package, or Custom Package is the permanent 'default' and cannot be changed. The Preview will show as expected however any image stays stuck in the very first layout I chose after installing LR4 beta.
For example, I first chose Template Browser>Lightroom Templates>Maximum Size, and Layout Style>Single Image/Contact Sheet. Clicking through any other Templates (Lightroom or User defined) will alter the preview but not the layout display in the Print window. Same problem in either of the other Layout styles. I have been trying for days to rectify this, but it seems somehow more difficult than LR3. and not what I expect.
As a comparison, using the same steps in LR3 works perfectly as all print template/layouts can be changed on the fly as expected. I have no problems generating different layouts in LR3 and have been using LR print module since version 1 without this issue.
Is this a bug or are there any extra steps or workarounds I have not discovered? Any other testers seen this?

Update with more info. What am I doing wrong, if anything?
Print layouts do not update on the fly when attempting to choose between various Print Module>Template Browser> Lightroom or User templates. This is not a hang since the layouts do not change after the initial choice no matter how much time elapsed.
iMac OS 10.6.8. 8GB RAM.Processor Intel Core 2 Duo. NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS.
The steps as follows:
1) Lightroom 3.6 & LR4Beta exist side by side.
2) LR4 Beta> Print Module;
3) From filmstrip choose image;
4) Template Browser> Lightroom4Beta Templates>Maximum Size;
5) Preview displays as expected;
6) Layout Styles>Single Image/Contact Sheets
7) Template Browser> Lightroom4Beta Templates>click through any other templates (Lightroom or User defined);
8) Image layout in main window does not update;
9) Previews update;
10) Layout Style>Picture Package;
11) Template Browser>Maximum size is then automatically shown, however the template in the main window is actually (1) 7x5, (2) 2.5x3.5;
12) Any further attempts to change the layouts regardless of Style Layout choices are not successful.
13) Close LR4Beta>re-open LR4Beta;
14) Repeat test;
15) Print Module layouts do not update on the fly as expected;
16) Close LR4Beta and all applications;
17) Reboot iMac.
18) Open LR4Beta only;
19) LR4Beta>Print Module>Template Browser >Lightroom Templates>Maximum Size;
20) Image displays in main layout window with Template and Preview display as expected;
21) Choose different image>Template Browser>Lightroom Templates>Maximum Size;
22) Click through templates, layouts DO NOT update in main window although previews do automatically update.
23) CONCLUSION - In Lightroom 4 Beta>Print Module>Template Browser, image layouts do not change after initial choice as expected.
I posted this on Photoshop.com as a problem.

Edit print layout template for dunning letters

Hi,
Our customer want to edit the dunning letter template. They want the TOTAL which is a system variable field be seen also in the start of report
I copied this field from "Field_057," which is the field with the same name in the end of the report, then pasted it in the above area. (because I wanted to show the total due balance of the BP in the middle of the report as well, However, I believe merely copy and pasting in another area does not work. The following error occurs if I try to print the template above:
Printing error:Invalid variable number (RPT-6300)(Field: Field_203) Variable '148' [Message 200-38]
The selected field ("Field_203" is what I believe causes the error when printing because only when I add this field does the error occur).
Can you help how we can have the same data in the start of report.
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply. Do you mean it is not possible to have the same data in the start of report? Is there any other workaround like creating a fromula?
Thanks,

Apex 4.2.2 PDF Printing with Apex 2.0 Listener

We recently installed Apex 4.2 with the Apex 2.0 Listener and can successfully print interactive reports and classic reports to PDF. I viewed Mark Sewtz PDF Printing with Apex 4.2.2 and saw how he is using third party tools to format reports. We have also looked into the Jasper Report Integration Toolkit, but have only got it working on the Tomcat environment, not WebLogic.
I'm trying to download a classic report in PDF format with our logo displayed at the header. In the print attributes section, there is a section for header. I've tried adding the following in the header section:
<img src = "http://hr.unm.edu/common/images/unm_dept_logo.gif">
No Logo Prints
#APP_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header:
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?
p_security_group_id=3930016164431413%26p_flow_id=106%26p_fname=unm_dept_logo.gif
#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header: /i/unm_dept_logo.gif
I've also added the logo in the report region, prior to the columns printing, but no logo downloads to PDF.
Does the Apex Listener only render text? Is there any way to get the logo to print in the header without using a third party tool? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
There are different options to include images in your PDF exports. What's important to understand though is that with the PDF export functionality we separate the formatting from the actual data. So the formatting is defined in your RTF or XSL-FO templates and the data is stored in the XML that APEX generates based on your report data. We have several formatting options exposed on the print attributes pages, i.e. you can define page formatting, dimensions, fonts, colors, etc - all of these are applied to what we call generic XSL-FO templates. Those templates are generic in that they can be used with different reports, having variable numbers of columns and variable column names. Those formatting attributes can not be used however with named column templates, such as those that you generate with BI Publisher or those third-party tools I talked about in my Blog.
So if you want to use these formatting options, you need a generic report layout - which you get out of the box using the built-in layout. But you also have the option to create your own generic report layout (see Shared Components -> Report Layouts). When creating a custom generic report layout, you'll get a copy of the built-in layout as a starting point. Once created, you can manually modify this layout to meet your needs. As you edit this template, you'll find a number of #....# substitution strings. This is what APEX uses at runtime to fill in your formatting values as well as to assemble your generic layout based on your result set.
Now one way to include your own image would be to add an image reference to this generic report layout. You can't use the page header or footer attributes on the print attributes page for that because the FOP rendering engine does not understand or translate HTML. It renders XSL-FO. So to add your own image reference, you need to use XSL-FO mark-up. If you want to add an image to your page header, look for the #PAGE_HEADER# substitution string in the "Page Template" attribute of your generic report layout. You should be able to find the following:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Now assuming you have a file stored in your local images directory on localhost, you could add the following external graphic reference:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    <fo:external-graphic src="http://localhost:8080/i/cloud.gif" content-height="scale-to-fit" height="30px" content-width="150px" scaling="non-uniform"/>
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Once you're done with your chanages, save the report layout and edit your report. Go to the print attributes and select your generic report layout and then run your report page and export the PDF. Provided the APEX Listener is able to find this external image reference, it will now be included above your report in your PDF document.

Marc

Documentation for Print Publish Templates

Is there documentation from Adobe, or from some enterprising soul, for the code used in the Publish to Print Doc templates (Handouts, Lesson, Step by Step, Storyboard)?
Since the templates that ship with CP are so lousy, I'd need to either modify or create my own. I can get into them, but don't really know what to do except brute force, one-var-at-a-time modification/testing.
I see that some folks are just living with it and others have completely given up and developed workarounds, but are there others who have conquered this?

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for the quick response. Your idea for subdiagram lables does indeed provide a good method to add a description to the diagram, and I will be using it. Still would be nice to have a description "outside" of the diagram, as it would stand out better in the html file, but this will suffice. Any other suggestions are still welcome.
Thanks again,
GSinMN

How can I add header on printing with Numbers

How can I add header on printing with Numbers? The previous version use to have it and I cannot find it in the new one ...

Hi Tanya,
Glad to hear that you found how to edit page headers and footers in Numbers 3.2. I agree that Help in Numbers 3 is woeful. No searchable PDF to download and use offline. All is online (one page at a time) and we need to know the terms we are looking for before we look.
The first HelpDesk:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
For printing to paper where layout is important, I use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2.3) with its Print View. But it is orphanware. As the name suggests, there has not been a major overhaul since 2009. With that in mind, it is a useful version to hang onto while we hope and wait (and provide feedback to Apple) for something in future versions of Numbers 3.x to provide better layout capability.
Indeed, each new update of Numbers 3.x has restored more of the old features while adding new features that are enhancements over Numbers '09. Many of the Numbers 3 enhancements reflect long-awaited wishes through this forum, and were passed on by Numbers Feedback to Apple. So it seems that Apple does take heed of feedback.
In the meantime, I enjoy the charm of Numbers '09 whilst exploring the new features of Numbers 3.
What has been GAINED in Numbers 3 is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5473882?start=75&tstart=0
(Very long thread because it started with Numbers 3.0, and enhancements have continued through Numbers 3.2).
Hints on workarounds in Numbers 3 is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23622372#23622372
Some workarounds are no longer needed, but what amazes me is how many Numbers '09 features (the so-called "lost" features) were not lost; the settings have simply been moved. Moreover, many features such as margin settings carry over with a Numbers '09 document or template into Numbers 3.
Hints for layout on screen before printing to paper:
Try Alignment Guides and Rulers as suggested here:
Print View workarounds
Use a layout guide:
Layout Guide for Numbers

Ian.

How To... We Printing with Microsoft Excel in 7.0 / 2004s

We implemented the How To... Web Printing with Microsoft Excel in BW 3.5. We have upgraded a test box to 7.0 ( 2004s ) and the functionality is no longer working. We have buttons in our web templates which call the help service and when they are clicked nothing happens.
An example of the code we are using is:
<A href="<sap_bw_url cmd='PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW' help_service='HELP_SERVICE_PRINT' item='GR1TABLE' subcmd='PRINT_EXCEL'>">
Have other folks successfully continued to use this functionality in 2004s? I know that formatted printing is an option in the new version but we intend to do a technical upgrade first and subsequently leverage this new functionality.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I didn't think that there would be an SAP note for the How To but note 995142 has the exact changes required. Thanks for pointing that out.

Custom xml panel in bridge - how to print with photos

hello, i used the generic template to create a custom xml panel which is great, now i am wondering, if there an easy way that i can now print the xml with the photo in bridge? or is it something that doesnt exist yet only because someone with a deeper knowledge than i hasnt done it yet?
im hoping to find theres a way to choose to 'custom print' photos on a page, and simply choose which parts of my custom generic xml panel id like to print with it.
if someone knows it already is possible, or could be possible, feel free to let me know, take care

data to be available for the Smartform to print.
3. In Global definition we can define the all the global variables which can be used in Smartforms. Initialization
can be used for initializing the variables and even for retrieving the data.
Creating pages:
Each form consists of one or more pages. The first page in the tree structure is the start page and the
processing of the form starts with this page itself.
1.        Open the context menu for existing page node and choose create page
2.        Enter a unique name (FIRST) for the node and a description (Page)
3.        Determine the format (1, 2, 3...)and the mode of the page counter (Increase counter) on the general
attributes tab
4.        Determine the print attributes (Portrait Format) of the page on the output options
5.        Determine a background graphic for the entire page on the background tab (Not used in PO).
Creating windows:
The size and position of the window can be graphically set in the form painter. There are main windows and
secondary windows. The difference between these two is that the output in a main window can cover several
pages.
1.        Open the context menu for an existing page node and choose window
2.        Enter a name for the node (NAMEFORM) and a description (Title Window).
3.        On the general attributes indicate type of window. NAMEFORM is secondary window.
In similar fashion all the other windows are created and positioned as per the form design. Only one MAIN
window is created, it is used for line items which can cover several pages.
Positioning texts on the form
The texts are displayed in the form using text nodes. The only exceptions are addresses.
The predecessor node of the text node determines its use:
Predecessor node        Used to
Secondary window        Position text on one or more pages
Main window        Display text in relation to other nodes in the main window, it may cover several pages
Template         Displays texts for table cells of a static table
Table        Display table contents
There are three text types:
1.        Text element : to enter new text in the PC editor
2.        Text module : to include a text module
3.        Include text : to include an existing SAPscript text
Entering texts in PC editor: (TITLE)·
To create a text node call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that should receive the
text, then choose->text
·        Enter a unique name (TITLE) for the node and the node description (TITLE)
·        On the general attributes tab choose text element as text type
·        In the text node box choose whether the text should be started with a new paragraph or only in a new
line
·        Enter the text in the PC editor. Text could be a program element like &Title& or u2018Purchase Orderu2019. &Title&
is a variable for which the value is assigned in Program line before the text.
Including text modules: (TERMSCONDITION)
Text module of the text node is used to refer to an existing text module in the system. The text modules can be
used in two ways:
·        To create a text node, call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that shall contain the text
and choose create->text under the window TERMSCONDITION.
·        Enter a unique name for the node (TERMSCONDITION) and a description (Terms and Condition)
·        On the general attributes tab select the text type text module
·        Enter the name of the text module in the text name field (&G_TERMS_TEXT&). &G_TERMS_TEXT& is
used to determine the Text name dynamically in the program lines preceding the text module node.
·        Program Lines: GETTERMSCONDITION
Concatenate 'ZTMM_PO_TERMS_' ZXEKKO-BUKRS
                                INTO G_TERMS_TEXT.
Including SAPscript texts:
(HD_TXT_F01 u2013 Order Header Text)
The text type include text node to refer to a SAPscript text, which already exists in the system. To identify the
text the text name, object, id and the language is needed.
·        To create the text node, call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that shall receive the
text and choose create -> text under the main window.
·        Enter a unique name (HD_TXT_F01) for the node and the node description (Order Header Text).
·        On the general attributes tab choose include text as text type
·        Text Name - &ZEKKO-EBELN&, Text Object u2013 EKKO, Text ID u2013 F01, Language - &SY-LANGU&. Also check
mark u2013 No error if no text exists.
Tip: Since the size of text is not known, its better to have the text in MAIN window, so that it can run to more
than one page if required.
Inserting addresses: (SENDER):
Address node is used to insert an address into the form. This guarantees that the address is formatted
according to the postal rules of the sender country.
·        To create an address node , call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that one wants to
contain the text and choose create->Address
·        Enter a name for the node (COMPANY_CODE_ADDRESS) and a description (Company Code Address)
·        Determine the address type (Organization Address) on the general attributes tab
·        For organizational addresses - specify the address number, for any other - specify the person number
and the address number. In this case we get the company code address into variable &ADDNR&, so we need
program lines (SENDER) preceding the address text.
·        In the box additional addresses, attributes to specify how to display the address are maintained.
Printing graphics: (LOGO):
Tcode SE78 is used to import graphics into the SAP system. The transaction imports the graphics and stores it
in the BDS (business transaction server) and then it can be displayed in the form.
·        To create the graphic node , call the context menu for that node in the tree structure and choose create-
>graphic
·        Enter a name (LOGO) for the node and the description (Logo Graphic)
·        On the general attributes determine whether a colored or a black and white
·        On General Attributes use the fields object - GRPAHIC, id u2013 BMAP and name - &G_LOGO& to identify the
graphic. &G_LOGO& is variable and therefore we can print company code specific logo. Program line preceding
the graphic is required.
·        Program line COMP_LOGO is used to assign the value to G_LOGO. Concatenate 'ZCOMPANY_LOGO_'
ZXEKKO-BUKRS INTO G_LOGO. So, the name of graphic for example will be ZCOMPANY_LOGO_0202 for
company code 0202.
Displaying a static table (Window u2013 INFO, Template - TEM_INFO)
Use node type template to display a table whose layout and size is determined before the runtime of the print
program.
To create a template, define a table layout to determine the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to
display the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to display the contents of the successor nodes of the
template node.
·        Create Template under the INFO window node. Create > Template.
The template layout is used to determine the following,
1.        The number of lines and cells
2.        The height of each cell
3.        The width of each cell
4.        The alignment of the table in the window
5.        Whether and where to display separator lines or frames
Use the table control on the template tab to define the layout of the lines. Each line of the template must have
a definition.
Use the pattern box to select the desired table pattern.
Displaying contents in cells: (TLE_CONTACT)
The template node defines the table layout. The successor nodes of the template         determine the data to be
displayed in the table cells.
In General Attributes choose Text type u2013 Text Element. In editor, type u2018DTE         Contactu2019.
In Output Options, define the output structure LINE u2013 5 and Column u2013 1.
Similarly all other information for each cell can be filed using the text module and         address module.
Displaying Dynamic Table (ITEM_TABLE)
·        Create TABLE under the MAIN window node. In DATA Tab, loop through the data internal table.
L_XEKPO is the item table which has all the line item details.
Define the line types based on the positioning of the text in main window. For         example: TABLE_HEADER1
is used for positioning Header texts in the table.
·        Table is divided into three parts: Header, Main Area and Footer.
·        Header is used for printing the Header Title of the table and it at the start of the table on every page.
·         Main Area is used to print the line item details of the PO. Create a line (ITEM_DETAIL) of the line type
TABLE_HEADER1. It will dynamically generate number cells based on the line type defined in the table layout.
Name all the cells as per the usage. For each cell create the text node to display the information. For example:
Cell VAL_MATERIAL, Text node MATNR is created which has text element - -matnr.
·        Footer is used for printing the information after Main Area data is printed. This can be used for Total
printing or any other information which needs to be printed after all line items are printed. Create line
TLE_CONTR_STP for Contractual Stipulation of the line type u2013 LINE which has only one column. Create the
text element to print the information.
Special Requirement: Printing the Acknowledgement text if the order value is greater then USD 50,000.00 on
the second copy only.
·        This requirement needs the modification in the print program and the Smartform.
·        Modification in Print Program to trigger the second copy if the order value is greater then 50K. Its
advisable to copy the standard print program to custom Z program (Z_SMB40_FM06P), and changes should
be made to Z program. Number of copies is passed from NAST to ls_composer_param-tdcopies in Smartforms.
The value ls_composer_param-tdcopies is modified in the print program to 2 if the order value is greater then
50K.
·        The printing of Acknowledgement Text only on second copy is achieved using the COPIES WINDOW in
Smartforms. Define Window ACKN_COPY of the type COPIES WINDOW and Output to u2013 Only Copies u2013 Copies
Differ. Also set the condition in the Condition Tab of the window u2013 SFSY-JOBPAGES = 1, so that it only print
on the first page of the copy.
·        If user selects to print 2 copies and the order value is more then 50k, program needs to print 2 sets
meaning 4 copies. So number of copies is taken care of in Print program but again the printing of
Acknowledgement Text should be only the Even number copy meaning Copy# 2 and 4. This achieved by using
the program lines to determine the even copy. SFSY-COPYCOUNT will tell us the current copy number being
printed.

Issue with "Web Printing with Microsoft Excel"

Hi All,
I have implemented the "Web Printing with Microsoft Excel". It worked fine. But to get a effect in the background color I have saved the "BWReports_Excel_print.css" as test.css & made some changes to test.css. Then used transaction ICM Monitor(SMICM) to reset the SAP Web Appilication Server Cache. Also provided the respective link for test.css in the web template.
But now the print is not working. Any idea???. I have also reverted back the link to
"BWReports_Excel_print.css" in the web template.
Still no solution.
Need a urgent feedback.
regards
Mahendra

How to... Web Printing with Microsoft Excel

Hi All, I am working with a client that is trying to get "Web Printing with Microsoft Excel" to work in their specific scenario. They are on 2004s and trying to get this "Web Printing with Microsoft Excel" to work with 3.5x Web Templates, but can't seem to get it to work.
The How To paper (Version 1.0 April 2005) is specific to NW '04 and below so I'm not sure if it's supported in our 2004s environment.
Does anyone know if this "Web Printing with Microsoft Excel" scenario should still work for us in our 2004s environment? If so, do you have an example template you can provide or any insight for us?
Thanks!

Printing with colored border?

I have been wishing for one simple thing since aperture came out...being able
to print with a black (or other color) border instead of white. Is there a simple way to do
this that I am missing? with photoshop its right there in the print controls where it allows you
to select a color for the border. is this a difficult feature to add? not sure why it wouldnt be there. apple seems to appreciate using a black background for web pages...why not for printing?

Try using the book tool - simply lay out a 'template' book with pages the size of your paper, and drag images into it when you want to print.
Unfortunately you don't get the print-specific sharpening, but the layout controls are pretty good.
