Problem with characters Converting OTF Spool to PDF

Hello All,
Im working on ECC6.0 system. I have a Z report where it will take spool number and mail ID as input.
It will check wheter the spool is of type OTF of ABAP List, according to that it will use the FMs ONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF & CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
Now it will download the PDF internal table data into a file using OPEN DATA SET statement as shown below.
OPEN DATASET gv_dsn FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
*Download the file to application server
LOOP AT gt_pdf_output.
    TRANSFER gt_pdf_output TO gv_dsn.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET gv_dsn.
and it will ZIP the PDF as shown below.
* open the file from application server for zipping.
OPEN DATASET gv_dsn FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
READ DATASET gv_dsn INTO lv_content.
CLOSE DATASET gv_dsn.
CREATE OBJECT go_zip.
go_zip->add( name = gv_file content = lv_content ).
gv_zip_content    = go_zip->save( ).
* Convert the xstring content to binary
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      buffer        = gv_zip_content
    IMPORTING
      output_length = gv_file_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab    = gt_data.
After that the ZIP file conataining the PDF will be sent as an attachement to the mail ID given as input.
Now the problem is some characters of Czech are not coming properly when the attachement is opend once the mail is received. Can any one tell where the problem is and solution.
Im getting the message "Can not extract the embedded front 'CourierNewL2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." while opening the PDF in the ZIP attachment.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Sasidhar Reddy Matli.

Convert HTML-Spool to PDF

Hi experts,
I'm looking for a possibility to conbvert a Spool-request to PDF fomrat.
Following situation:
I have a Web Dynpro that creates a page with a few material details. I can now export this to Excel, but now the requeiremt is also to convert it to PDF.
We don't have ADS, so I can't use Adobe forms. First, I tried to create a Smartform and convert this to PDF which will work. But I have also a few pictures included which come from a Web Service (as JPG). After searchin a while I found a possibilty to convert them to TIF and insert them in SE78 automatically. But this takes to much time and as a result of insert them to SE78, the colors will change (only 256 colors).
Next idea was to generate a HTML-Mail out of my Smartform (regaring this blog /people/pavan.bayyapu/blog/2005/08/30/sending-html-email-from-sap-crmerp) what works perfectly now.
So now I have a Spool in SOST which contains a HTML file. OK, looks great, all pictures are included, takes not much time - but how to convert this to PDF?
Anybody any ideas?

Hi experts,
after searching the whole forum and internet, I don't find any solution.
Maybe the convertion from Spool to PDF is not possible...
OK, another idea:
I read that the wrong colors result from the different color depth (16/24 bit vs 256 colors). So my last idea is to convert the image before inserting into BDS (SE78), automatically done by SAP.
Is there any function/coding you know which can convert me a image from 24bit to 256 colors? If so, I can convert the image and then insert into BDS...

Convert ABAP Spool to PDF and display in BSP

Hello SDNers,
I have a requirement to display an R/3 report in Portal as PDF. I have chosen the route of creating a BSP which will show the report as PDF.
I will then create a BSP iView in Portal pointing to this application.
I am following the weblog /people/sap.user72/blog/2004/11/10/bsphowto-generate-pdf-output-from-a-bsp
and few SDN forums:
Display result of standard report RPTEDT00 within BSP
Re: PDF Output
I am new to BSP development and I am not able to put all the pieces of code together.
I would really appreciate if you can help me put the pieces together and help me out with this.
More details:
This custom report displays the summary of Benefits Cost Accounting (by PERNR and current year).
Once the report is run, I would like to get hold of the spool and convert the spool to PDF.
In my BSP I would like to get the spool (or the binary of the PDF) and display the report as PDF in the BSP application.
I have created the BSP application using the code given in the above weblog.
I am not sure how to proceed further with the requirement.
Looking forward for your suggestions and help.
Thanks,
Kalyan

Hi kalyan,
go thru this wiki and you will have what you need all at one place. the piece you might want to look at is ABAP spool to PDF. It even contains complete code.

hope this helps.

Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf

I'm having problems with the Adobe reader for iPad.
Whenever I modify a pdf file, adding notes or any other mark up, I'm not able to see any of the markups in the file when I open the same file with another application or I send it via e-mail.
Only the digital signature is still visible.
Thanks

You are correct. When i open it with Adobe i get my mark ups etc. When i use Apple`s pdf view i do not.
Problem solved.

Re: Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf created by Pat Wibbeler in Adobe Reader for iOS - View the full discussion
Can you share what applications you are using to view the notes after emailing? You have to view the document in a Reader that supports annotations. Apple ships a built in pdf viewer (like the one used in iBooks) that many iOS developers use (e.g. Dropbox, email). This built in PDF viewer does not support rendering annotations. However, many other applications (like the Adobe Reader for iOS and the Adobe desktop products) do support Annotation rendering. Similarly, one of our competitor's PDF viewers (PDFExpert) supports this functionality as well. Annotations are part of the PDF standard and the specification is widely available and we would love to see more renderers support it!

Max limit on size of PDF when converting from OTF spool to PDF

I have a scenario where I need to process as many OTF spool files into one PDF file, and then send this PDF as a ZIP file in an email attachment.

Converting OTF format to PDF format

with the help of the standard program RSTXPDFT4 we can do the operation of converting OTF format in to PDF format.
Is there any functional module available to do this operation if we write our own program ..

Hello,

Archive pdf (table) (converted from spool to pdf(table))

Hi friends
I've used CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert a spool-request to pdf.
That pdf (table) I now want to archive.
Normally I use FM archivobject_create_synchron when archiving OTF-images from a specific path.
But now I do not have a path to the file - instead I have a pdf (table) that I want to archive...
Do you have any suggestions how to handle this?
br
Henrik

you need to use the following fms
- ARCHIVE_NEW_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_PUT_TABLE
- ARCHIVE_SAVE_OBJECT
- ARCHIVE_WRITE_STATISTICS
- ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE
and also check SBOOK* programs

Problems With Data Alignment when spooling to a CSV file

Dear members,
I am spooling data to a csv file. My data contains 3 columns
For example :
col1 col2 col3
USD,10000033020000000000000,-1144206.34
The 2nd column is alphanumeric, it contains some rows which have only numbers and some which have numbers and alphabets.
The 3rd column contains only numbers with positive or negative values.
I am facing problem with alignment. when i open the spooled csv file then i find that the 3rd column is aligned to right .
In the 2nd column, rows which have only numbers are right justified and rows which have alpha numeric data are left justified.
I tried using the JUSTIFY function in sql plus but still it is not working for me.
Can any body give your opinion on how to control the alignment in spooled csv files.
Your responce is highly appreciated.

i think you do not have to worry about your code when you say that the plain texts created are ok when opened on the notepad. it is on the excel that you will need some adjustments. not sure about this but you might want to read about the applying styles in the excel by going through it's help menu.

Problem with different browsers when I save pdf

Hi I have server side application which open some pdf form and populate it with values and some javascript(I use FDFToolkit to do that). A client connects with a browser to my server opens the form in the browser window and after that saves the form as pdf to his local computer. When the client uses InternetExplorer 7 the pdf form on the client computer(the form is open with acrobat 9 pro) works exactly as in the browser window but when the form is saved with Firefox 3.0.3 the form is open without the values and javascript in it. Can someone help ?

There are many free converters on the web. Also, if you are working with
Office 2007, you can save as pdf natively.
But you didn't give much detail - are you trying to do this automatically?
What's the workflow that has you considering C++ as the route to your
solution?

Problems with colours - Photoshop to InDesign to PDF

I have created a small header image in Photoshop. It consists of a background with a number of layers using blue and grey (the grey is RGB: 202, 202, 202). I placed the image in InDesign and then converted to press quality PDF for printing. In InDesign I have also created a number of shapes (rectangles with rounded corners) which I have made the same grey colour (202, 202, 202). On the screen everything looks the same grey, however, when I convert to a PDF and print, the grey in the image I placed from Photoshop looks a completely different grey colour to the rectangle shapes I created in InDesign with the same background colour. The grey colour I am using is all 202, 202, 202.
Why when I print are there completely different shades of grey?

I checked with our IT dept and the links I sent previously are in public folders, so there shouldn't be any need to log on anywhere.
Anyway, do these work?

https://fileexchange.imperial.ac.uk/files/503745fea71/Banner_template_no_pics_new_colour.p ng
I just converted the Photoshop image mode in Photoshop to CMYK and created a rectangle shape with the same grey colour underneath it and printed it directly from Photoshop. I then converted the image to PNG and placed in InDesign, created a grey rectangle underneath the banner image and printed directly from InDesign and finally I converted to press quality pdf and printed. All still have the same colour difference between the grey colours.It appears to me that it is something to do with Photoshop, because the greys WHEN PRINTED in photoshop all look the same but strange - kind of washed out with some magenta in it. They look fine on the screen. If placed in InDesign as a PNG image, the grey still looks okay on screen as it does in Photoshop, alongside a grey rectangle created in InDesign. However, when printed the difference in grey is considerable.
The weird thing is the Photoshop grey looks weird - kind of washed out with some magenta in it.

Petition: problems with characters in mail sent to Windows computers

Sign this petition by replying to this thread if you have problems with garbled characters when sending e-mails to Windows computers. Let Apple know It's a huge problem for non-English e-mailing customers and there is no way to definitively fix it.
I'll start it off:
Christoffer Du Rietz
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 17" last generation G4

I'm not interested in knowing the gory technical
details, I want Apple to fix the problem. The problem
have existed for years. Non-english speaking Mac
users run a high risk of sending e-mails that look
like pure garbage on computers that use Windows. This
does not help when trying to convince people that
Macs are superior.
I want Apple to fix Mail. Because it is
2006!
Your views are reasonable, but you need to send them to Apple, not just to the other users trying to provide help with problems in these forums. The channel for this is
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
You could also consider providing some feedback to MS. The longstanding bugs in Outlook that cause these problems represent really second-rate programming (even if it makes sense for Apple to somehow cater to them in Mail's behavior).
