Problem to print pdf-based forms using matricial Epson printer

I need print pdf-based forms using an EPSON FX 2190 printer. 
In The sap note 685571 I read that can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file exists.
I do not found XDC file to EPSON device type, a Epson fx 2190 do not support postscript.
Can I use this printer to pdf-based forms?
I need that spool request (pdf) have a output immediately on EPSON printer.
thanks in advanced for your cooperation to solve it.

I am afraid you cannot make your scenario work if there is no XDC provided. Maybe you can create one, but I don´t know how difficult that can be or how to do that. Maybe you can get more help under ABAP > Form printing where there are guys experienced with this printing details. Regards, Otto

    I don't think Epson has developed an XDC for ESC/P language. That would be very difficult/long to develop an XDC from scratch. Best solution is to install a new printer. Otherwise you may either use a Printer Description Language converter (PS to ESC/P, or other ones), it probably exists, or call acrord32 in print mode on a Windows frontend or server.

  • Latest version doesn't print PDFs, says "No pages selected to print" whether I have chosen "All" or "Page 1-N"

    I've installed and reinstalled the latest version of Adobe Reader at least twice, but I still get the same problem - I cannot print PDFs on paper using my local printer.
    Additional info that might be helpful:
    * The printer is connected and tested, and prints from other programs like MS Word.
    * I can print from Adobe Reader to PDF using a program like BullZIP, but this is obviously not useful.
    * I have tested various PDFs, as far as I can see this is not about the type of PDF (whether it contains macros or fields or whatever).
    * The exact error messages are "The document could not be printed" and "There were no pages selected to print" in two separate popup boxes.

    DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
    Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

  • Creating layout in PDF Based Form to print table content.

    Hi ,
        I am facing problem in creating the layout of PDF Based Form . I do not need any interactive text but only active table in my context whose data i need to print . What i did was drag the table from data view into  the body page and activate . When i run it i only get a table structure but without any data .
    Can any one help me or give a pointer to any tutorial for this ?. I have checked in SAPnet for PDF Based Print Form but it somehow skips how to create layout.
    With regards,

  • Issue with pdf-based forms (correspondence)

    Hello!
    Got a problem with our new pdf-based forms.
    I'm tryinig to print a new pdf-based dunning form via correspondence (fpcopara), but there is no option where i could say "XFP data stream with context evaluation". There are only the options for Smartforms and SapScript.
    Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
    Thanx 4 helping!

    Here are the steps (from generating the form up to the point where i want to print it):
    1. Transaction Code: SFP (Form Builder)
    create a new interface with interface-type: ABAP Dictionary-based Interface
    2. Transaction Code: SFP (Form Builder)
    create a new form. Layout type = Standard Layout, Interface from step 1, create a small layout and activate both (interface an form).
    3. Transaction Code: EFRM (Maintain Application Form)
    create a new application form with these options:
    Form Class: IS_U_CA_DUNNING
    Form Type: PDF-based Form
    PDF-based Form: (name from step 2)
    After creating this new application form, try to activate it.
    4. Transaction Code: FPCOPARA (Correspondence Printing)
    For this step you need printable dunnings in your system.
    Tab: Print Parameters
    Output Device: your XFP-Printer
    And there we are... There is no option for PDF-based Forms at this point. Just the options for SapScript and Smartforms.
    Thanks
    Btw: we're using IS-U (Utilities).

  • PDF-based forms

    needed help..........
    how to create PDF-based forms

    Hi,
    1. Why do you go for PDF Based Forms when you have SAP Scripts/Smart Forms?
    In US and Europe under section 508 each and every business document should be accessible for impaired people.
    Communication is possible using XML.
    We can work off line (when SAP system is down).
    2. The Settings involved in SAP Scripts/Smart Forms.
        All Fonts, output type, Driver programs and printer details.
    Myriad Pro (some font name like that) is not available in PDF form. For other fonts no extra setting is required
    Changes in Driver Program
    Driver program
    •     Get name of the generated function module
         CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    •     Print job needs to be opened exclusively for forms of new interface
         CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    •     Now call the generated function module
    … After PDF form is created it will generated FM
      CALL FUNCTION gv_fm_name
    •     Close spool job
           CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
    3. Does the same font/printer is supported when converted to PDF Based forms?
                Yes
    4. What difficulties are faced when conversion? Limitations in PDF Based Forms which cannot be done when trying to convert Smart forms/Sap Scripts?
         Certain conditions are there in Sap Scripts and Smart forms that can not be handled in PDF, there is something called as Scripting in PDF. Using that we can handle such kind of exceptions .But according to Good Programming technique we should rarely use it, because it affects the performance of the form.
    5. Limitations of PDF Based Forms as such?
       There is a concept called as nested tables, from Accessibility point of view there is problem.
         Headers on different pages. This is again an accessibility problem.
         Preprinted forms.
    6. Procedure Assigning output types for PDF Based forms and testing them?
        Some Basis Problem is there, that’s why I am not able to view the layout
    7. Printer configurations in PDF Based forms and the Paper size?
    •     Default printer should be Local 
    •     Page Scaling should be  None
    •     Chose paper source by PDF Page size.
    points plz (if this information is usefull for U ).
    Regard's

  • With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

    With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
    I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
    My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
    How to correct that
    Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

    I've had the same problem. This solved it...
    Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
    Hope it works for you to...

    You need
    - an application server JAVA with Adobe Document Service installed
    - you need to configure the connection between that Java instance and your ERP system

  • I have been unable to print from FF to Brother HL-1440. print generate pages w/odd bits of text from the page, and sometimes one image. If I want to print off the web, I have to print PDF. Older versions of FF print fine.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

  • Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport?

    I have an Epson Photo 2200 connected to the USB port of my Time Capsule. Everything has been working great until recently. Now I cannot use Epson Printer Utility unless I connect the printer directly to my Mac via the USB port. It does not find the printer. Connected directly, Epson Print Utility2 works properly. Epson Print Utility3 does not find the printer, even when connected directly. Reading the various discussion threads, I am not alone and the problem is with many, if not all of the Epson printers. The Utility worked fine at one time but appears to have quit working over the network probably around OS upgrade 10.5.2. In addition, you must use the Gutenprint driver when installing the printer. Epson's gives an error.
    Has anyone found a way to use the Epson Print Utility with an Airport print server with OS 10.5.2 or later?

    Before receiving this reply, I had other problems with the Gutenprint driver. I'm not sure what I did but after playing around for about a day, the Epson driver finally worked while connected through the USB port. The printer then worked with the Airport. The print utility still doesn't work without being directly connected. (It used to work while connected to the Airport. Until recently, I never connected the printer directly to a computer.)
