DIS PDF with special Character like cyrillic or chinese

Hello,
does anybody know how I can solve my Problem with PDF-Documents with Special Character which are Checked In (Tcode CV02N)
If I want to open the file again, it will be downloaded to
C:\Users\....\AppData\Local\SAP\SAPGUI\tmp\####
and not with the Special characters.... so SAP says
File
C:\.......
could not be accessed
So is there any flag to set in the customizing that the downloaded file will be with the correct Name or any note?
(Our System is a Unicode System)
(my Laptop has all the Windows updates including the language packages for Russia and China)
Thanks in advance
Stephan

Hello,
the SAPhttp.exe is in the Folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Unicode
on my laptop
therefore I think it should be the Unicode Version?

Separate program to send a smartform converted into pdf, thru mail

Hi Folks,
I had created a smartform and converted it into a PDF format.
Now I want a separate program where in if i submit this program it should sent it throuogh mail.
Note:-<b>I want a separate program not the one where in you design a smartform,convert into pdf and then send thru mail all in one program</b>
Points will be given.
K.Kiran.

hi kiran
the program is as follows
The user is provided with
a) file name
b) email address to send mail
and it sends ANY FILE (.xls,.pdf .xyz..)
Instantaneously !
4. Make two things first :
1. Include with the name : ZAMI_INCLFOR_MAIL
2. Report with the name : ZAM_TEMP147 (any name will do)
3. Activate both and execute (2)
4. After providing filename, email adress
5. Code for Include :

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Why does Acrobat Pdf converter file slow down my 2003, Windows Word Program. I only experience this problem when i convert a pdf file to a doc file.

Hi Bill -- thanks for your reply!
When I check the Document Properties on Acrobat I can see that the fonts used in the document (Cambria, Times and Windings) are listed as "Embedded Subset" in the Fonts panel. The machine it was created on did use an earlier version of OS X and an old version of Word, but it seems to have the proper fonts...

Error: Invalid dimension member with special character / in BPC NW 7.5 SP7

Hi experts,
We are encountering the following problem in our Financial Planning application.
We are migrating our existing BPC solution from one server to another through backup and restore. The existing solution was on BPC NW 7.5 SP 5. The profit_centre dimension in the existing solutions has several member ids with special character '/' (forward slash). The dimension never threw an error when processed in the existing solution and there is planning transactional data against these member ids.
While the entire configration , appset , files were successfully restored through UJBR on the new system (BPC 7.5 SP7) through UJBR (backup and restore), the masterdata could not be restored only for this Profit_centre (masterdata for other dimensions were processed successfullu). All the member ids with / are rejected for this dimension. The same error is thrown if processed through the admin client from the member sheet.
Error: Dimension member PC_FF/WS/NT is an invalid member ID
Error in Admin module
Is there any setting which need to be made to allow / character in member ids? Any suggestion to get around this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Abhiman

Hi Abhiman,
Yes, you need to maintain the transformation file to correct all dimension member IDs. Can you please refer to the following link with a similar issue:
conversion file formula not working
Hope this helps.

Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character

Issue :Saving webi document from BOXI 3.0 in excel with special character as report name then file name in excel is not correct.
This happens only with Mozilla, get correct file name in IE.
Steps to Reproduce:
1)Create a simple XI3.0 webi report through mozilla browser
2)Save the webi report with special character name for e.g øäåýþ.
3)Open the webi report and save it as excel or pdf file.
4)Report name øäåýþ saved, displays with other junk characters instead of actual reporta name( øäåýþ)
5)When saving the save report through IE browser in excel or PDF display correct report name øäåýþ in excel and PDf file.
Even after making changes in character encoding to UTF in the Firefox options (Content tab-> font & colors : advanced button -> Character encoding does not make any difference.
Has anyone came across such type of issue?
Whether this is limitation of Firefox or bug.

I want to create material master starting with special character eg #1234 but system gives a error message as
"not defined for material type Finished products"

What special character do you want?
your special character is probably beyond ZZZZZ in the numenclature of characters.
enter you special character instead of the Zs in the number range definition and try again.

No there are no restrictions from LDAP,
also I am able to give 32 character password in Coreid Console,
it seems that the web services have a restriction on password length.
Moreover, these web services used to accept 32 characyer passwords few months ago. we lately recognized this issue happening recent times.
I suspect some Oracle hotfix or patch would have made the difference.
But I am clue less how to trace it,
Any help would be appreciated

Smartform convert to PDF dump - divide by zero

SAP Version 4.7 Enterprise
hello all,
i am trying to do somethign rather basic that is discussed in these forums many times: convert Samrtforms output to PDF. i used the suggested forms but came across a unique (i think) error. my problem is that when i run the CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF function i get a core dump with the error "divide by zero". reading the core dump i see that there appears to be a font issue in the form:

needless to say this works perfectly when printing to paper. i am not using any non-stnadard fonts. the fonts are Arial with sizes of 6, 8, 10 and 12. any ideas? FYI, the code to call the functions is below. cheers,

Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
Thanks in advance
Atishay

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

Print PDF with special print options of Canon IR printer

Hi,
We have a collection (db driven) of PDF documents that we want to send to our network printers. Some document need a hole punch of some other specific printeroptions of a Canon IR printer.
The ideal solutions is a windows application where i could define virtual printers with their print options (pdf and printer specific).
Eg:
A user creates in a the windows app a virtual printer with name and print options
- FastPunch: Printer IR5570 with hole punch
- Fast: Printer IR5570
- Color: IR C4080
- ColorBooklet: IR C4080 with booklet options
When the app starts its batch it will look at de db and find rows with an PDF and the name of a virtual printer. The documents are printed with specific printer preferences.
Does someone has experience with such an solution? Tips?
Someone wants to make this in vb.net (or c#)? What cost?
gtx, Pierre

I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK but I haven't really waded through the documentation or samples yet. I've only been working on this project for about 3 days now and not full time. This isn't the highest priority at work. I've worked a bit with the adobe reader control and that looks like it has some promise.
I have two significant problems:
1) I don't want the user to see any windows appear other than my console application. That way I have it working right now, Acrobat is required and appears minimized while the file is spooled and then is closed after spooling completes. Not so horrible but I'd like to get away from it if possible. To print the file right now I'm using the startprocess module or something (new version of shell I think). I'm starting the pdf with the verb "Printto" and that tells Acrobat to print to a printer that I specify.
2)Biggest problem. I have no reliable way to change the number of copies or any other print settings. I am not willing to write a program that spools a single copy multiple times just to get multiple copies. Currently my program uses rundll to open a printer preferences dialog, and SendKeys to modify the print settings. This means that the computer cannot be used while automated printing is occurring.
Right now the program's only saving grace is that it allows the user to be ignorant of the job settings so that all the user has to do is indicate an item number and quantity and walk away (hoping nothing changes the focus and derails SendKeys - but we know that kind of thing never happens in XP :P )

Problem with special Character & in Proxy

Hi,
We have a File --> XI --> R/3 Scenario. In this scenario, from XI we are passing the data to R/3 by calling the Proxy. When the data in the file has special character like & (for example <Companyname>Dave&Busters</Companyname>), it is failing in R/3. But if I replace "&" with "&" in the file it works fine. Is there any solution to this problem without writting custom code in XI to replace & with &.
Thanks
Sudheer

No. If the sender of the message provides an XML format with an unescaped &, then the XML is not valid and therefore cannot be processed.
All adapters (IDOC, RFC, File with content conversion) perform the escaping and deescaping.

Problem in dealing with special-character filename

Hi,
I am facing a weird problem while dealing with a file which has a special character in its name. That character is the big-hyphen, i.e. '' (not the normal hyphen we can type from keyboard), you would have seen this character in MS Word.
My java program is running on HP-UX OS, and its basically trying to copy this file to a Windows target system through socket. But while executing it, I am getting Broken Pipe Exception.
I am applying UTF-8 encoding while running my program (by specifying the argument "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in the java process), and I am also confirming that the file-encoding is being applied to UTF-8 properly by putting a debug in the beginning of the program. My understanding is UTF-8 supports all the characters exist in this world.
Any suggestion / pointers would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Fine..... but is there any way to know which encoding has been applied on it ..
Let's say if you create any file on unix-based system in any application, which encoding gets applied there by default ?
This file is basically nothing but an html page created using 'Save As' from the browser.
The person who has created the file is a non-technical .. and won't know much about this all stuff... encoding etc.
