Problem in PDF conversion of a Smartform

Hi Experts,
I have Chinese text and english text in the Smartform
When see print preview of Smartfrom the output is perfect
But when i convert the OTF to PDF using CONVERT_OTF FM and send as mail attachment,
The chinese characters are JUNK and conversion don't occur properly.
For english TEXT i use Times new roman font
For Chinese Text i use CNSONG
I have used other FM as well CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF, the results were negative.
Please advise
Regards
Balaji R

Hello Davide,
We got this solution from SAP active global support.
I suppose it works in some cases only.
Our scenario is when we try to create PDF of the smartform using FM convert_otf and send as mail attachment.
We can able to see chinese chracters when giving the print preview of the form, but during PDF conversion we get Junk chinese characters.
Even if you have multiple languages in your form, SAP proposes to use 'ZPDFUC' as device type.
My question has the solution proposed by you works in all cases?
Please advise.Thanks.
Best regards

Layout problem in PDF conversion

Hi all,
i am downloading spool data using the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. But i am facing layout problem. e.g. RFBILA00(financial statement generation program) has written balancesheet data to the spool. This spool data has some 6 columns. but CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF is writing only first 3 columns to the generated PDF file. i used 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' function module also with values like layout as 'X_65_132' and 'X_90_120'. but no success. if anybody knows the answer, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

Turkish Character 'u0130' giving space during PDF conversion of the smartforms

Hi,
I have a PO form in turkish language , which is converted into pdf file.
When we take the print of the PO form the all the turkish are displayed correctly.
But when the same form is converted into pdf , then only for the turkish character 'İ' there is a space after each time it is displayed in pdf. All other turkish caracters are being displayed correctly.
For example : for " TEDARİKÇİADRESİ" in pdf it comes as "TEDARİ KÇİ ADRESİ ".
Note : the device driver is installed correctly as per the OSS notes and all other turkish character is coming correctly as expected.

Hi Adrian,
Yes the basis team did installed the window type fonts as mentioned in the OSS notes.
All the other turkish characted are being displayed correctly apart from this chracter. that too only in PDF.
Regards,
Syed

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

Smartform to PDF conversion having issue with Russian address

We are having a business situation we are the invoice in English language and the the address of ship-to party and sold-to party in Russian.
The issue we face is.
When the smartform is converted to PDF the Russian specific characters are missing in the PDF output. The same are perfect in the smart form print preview.
we are using   CONVERT_OTF function module and we are getting the Russian characters correctly in the table parameter OTF.
We are using "SX_TABLE_LINE_WIDTH_CHANGE" and " SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1"
function module to attach and mail the pdf.
In the PDF we are missing the Russian specific characters .
For Example in "Sedláčkova čč" the output is "Sedláčkova    " means "čč" is mising
Thanks in advance

Hi,
As described in note 999712 - PDF conversion for Unicode, there is a new unicode PDF converter PDFUC.
It depends on the SAP Version if you have to install the device type or not. You can check also via SPAD -> Full Administration -> Device Types -> Display.
You can pass the device type in the output options. I used:
SSFCTRLOP-no_dialog   = 'X'.
SSFCTRLOP-getotf      = 'X'.
SSFCTRLOP-langu       = 'EN'.
SSFCOMPOP-tdprinter = 'PDFUC'.
If you specify a device other than printer in the control options like SSFCTRLOP-device      = 'TELEFAX'., above will not work as
SSFCOMPOP-tdprinter is only evaluated for printer.
You have to check in SCOT -> Settings -> Device Types for Format Conversion.
You can make a general entry or for a specific language:
PDF                           SAPscript/Smart Forms    PDFUC
PDF    EN    English    SAPscript/Smart Forms    PDFUC
Let me know if you get this working.
Jeroen.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Scanner to pdf conversion problem

For some unknown reason I recently started having problems with Adobe Acrobat X Pro (version 10.1.4) in converting via the scanner to pdf conversion basic text documents. It used to take a minute or two to convert a basic text document, now it is taking almost a half hour for a basic text one page conversion. Any ideas?

Sorry for the inconvenience caused while scanning. We are actively trying to fix the issue and need help from users like you in narrowing down the fix. I’d request you to do the following when you run into this issue:
• Please send me a private message or e-mail me at [email protected] immediately and I will get back to you within one business day for next steps
• Please take a back-up or copy of any folders or files (e.g. App Data), in case you choose to delete them as a workaround

PDF conversion problem after password change

I am in a loop: having changed password, Adobe insists on new subscription to PDF conversion before converting a document, but will not accept my submission because I already have a subscription with 4 months still to run before renewal. How do I sort this idiot out?

Color graphic in a PDF generated from a SmartForm causes error

I have a SmartForm containing a color graphic. It works correctly,
appears just the way it should in Print Preview, and it prints
correctly. However, when I generate a PDF file from, Adobe Reader
complains that the PDF file is corrupt and refuses to print it. If I
remove the color graphic from the SmartForm and don't make any other
changes, I get a good PDF file that can be parsed, displayed, and
printed without any problems.
Why is the presence of the color graphic in the SmartForm leading to a
corrupt PDF file? Is there any workaround (short of removing the color
graphic) that I can use to get a good PDF file?
Here is a more detailed description of what I am doing.
1.     Creating the color graphic
     A. I started with a color .TIF file
     B. I went to transaction SE78,
        Form Graphics -> Stored on Document Server ->
          GRAPHICS General Graphics -> BMAP Bitmap Images
     C. Clicked on the "Import" icon
     D. In the "File name" field, navigated to my .TIF file
     E. Typed the name of my graphic in the "Name" field and some
        descriptive text in the "Description" field
     F. Selected the "Color Bitmap Image" radio button
     G. Set the "Print Attributes" as follows:
        Unchecked - Resides in the Printer Memory
        Checked   - Reserve Height Automatically
        Unchecked - Compression
     H. The color graphic seems to upload correctly
     I. When I click on Print Preview, it is displayed perfectly.
     J. When I use the Search Help associated with the name field to
        find the graphic, it is shown with the name and description
        that I gave it, the Object field is displayed as "GRAPHICS",
        the ID field is displayed as "BMAP".
     K. When I select Graphic -> Graphic Information, the Resolution is
        75 DPI and the Size is 26.86 x 8.26 cm. When I use this graphic
        in the SmartForm, I will enter the resolution as 300 DPI - in
        order to get an image whose dimensions are one-quarter of these
        dimensions, but which will have a good resolution for a laser
        printer.
2.     The use of the color graphic in the SmartForm
     A. It is a "Graphic" node which is the first node on the first
        (and only) page of the SmartForm.
        i.   The Name is the name of the graphic I created
        ii. Object = "GRAPHICS"
        iii. ID = "BMAP"
        iv. The "Color Bitmap Image (BCOL)" radio button is selected
        v.   The Resolution = 300 DPI
     B. The position and size are:
        i.   Left Margin = 15.00 MM
        ii. Width = 69.00 MM
        iii. Upper margin = 15.00 MM
        iv. Height = 21.77 MM
3.     The process of producing the PDF file
     A. The function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME is called to obtain the
        name of the function module associated with the SmartForm.
     B. The function module (whose name was returned by
        SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME) is called with:
        i.   CONTROL_PARAMETERS = a SSFCTRLOP structure with
             GETOTF = 'X'
             NO_OPEN = space
             NO_CLOSE = space
             NO_DIALOG = 'X'
        ii. OUTPUT_OPTIONS = a SSFCOMOP structure with:
             TDPRINTER = 'POST2'
             TDDEST = space
             TDNEWID = 'X'
             TDIMMED = 'X'
             TDDELETE = space
             TDCOVER = space
             TDCOPOES = 1
       iii. JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = a structure of type SSFCRESCL used to
             receive the OTF file
     C. The function CONVERT_OTF is called with:
        i.   FORMAT parameter = 'PDF'
        ii. OTF table parameter = the OTFDATA table contained within
             the JOB_OUTPUT_INFO SSFCRESCL structure returned from the
             SmartForm function module.
        iii. BIN_FILE parameter = an XSTRING used to receive the PDF
             file
        iv. BIN_FILESIZE parameter = an integer used to receive the
             size of the PDF file.

Hello David,
The reason for this problem is probably related to the FlateDecode compression described in SAP Note 843480 (PDF conversion: Compression of bitmaps and TrueType fonts).
Try switching off the usage of FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480.
It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this run as follows:
   se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field
         -> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this create a new PDF and check if the problem is resovled.
Regards,
Aidan

Smart form: Spool to PDF Conversion more than 100 pages.

Hi folks,
I have an issue with Function Module (FM) CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF when the report to be converted has more than 100 pages.....i have explained this scenario as below
We have been using the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert ABAP report to PDF file and then send this via mail using FM SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.....
PDF conversion using FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF works well if the number of report pages is less than 100....i.e the table pdf of the FM will contain the output as expected.....
If the report has more than 100 pages, the the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will schedule the conversion job as a background job and returns with a SY-subrc eq 0 and the table parameter pdf will ne empty.
Could you suggest me a woorkaround in this situtaion...i.e how do I then get the output of the background job
And any process to convert Spool to PDF if having more than 100 pages.
Thanks in Advance............

Pb,
If the report has more than 100 pages, the the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will schedule the conversion job as a background job and returns with a SY-subrc eq 0 and the table parameter pdf will ne empty
i would suggest you to if pages are more than 100 than you need to send report output to sp01 with spool request number by using fm job_open..job_close..
than from sp01 you can convert pdf by running RSTXPDFT4 in se38.
hope this would solve your problem.
Amit.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.
