Problem with gray background in SmartForms

Hi all
I have uploaded a logo via SE78. The logo have white background both in windows and in the print preview in SAP (SE78). When I insert the logo in my SmartForm the background gets gray, not white. I have tried just to upload a picture that is only white, but I get the same problem here. It is white in the print preview in SAP SE78, but in SmartForms it gets gray background. If I upload it as a black and white picture it gets white background, but I need it to be a colored logo.
Any one got input on this issue?

Hii Johan ,
The problem is the sap conversion,
it converts every image imported into the system to
<b>256 colors</b>, converting white (RGB 255.255.255 to 252.240.240 )
so using <b>Microsoft Photo Editor</b>,
make the white font transparent and
then save it as bmp (discharging the transparent converts it to true white)
define the graphic in color or black/white. You could define also the dpi .
also check it by taking print in other printers ..it could as well be drivers problem .

Printing problem with gray cells in smartforms

Hi there,
i have developed a smart form with some color logo and some gray shaded cells. If i print it by SAPLPD it comes out fine but when i print it on a printer configured in SAP it doesnt come out properly. All the gray cells print as black cells. Any advice?
Regards.

Asif,
it some times depends upon the printer drivers also
i faced the same problem with one printer then i tried with the other hpcolor printer then i got the printout perfectly that means sometimes the drivers of the printer will crash with the program
so its better u try this one in the another printer
if u have this problem futher let me know

What do I do when I create a pdf and it says fatal error, there is a problem with the background task

Printing with Gray background on entire page every time I print through Elements 12

Every time I print a photo in photoshop, a gray background appears on the entire page of the printed paper (except for 1/4th of an inch margin on all sides.) This does not happen when printing from iPhoto so I assume it is a preference in photoshop or in my driver/printer settings? I am set up for sublimation printing and with an ICC profile from Conde Systems. I work in RGB mode and use the specific color profile downloaded by Conde.
I have a feeling that when I set up my settings, I somewhere marked the "hard settings" or "default" background color to print in WHITE…which is somehow translating to gray when I print (this is just a guess.) I am thinking that a setting of mine is off yet I have no idea where to change it. If I open a new doc, specify that I want the background transparent, it will print without the gray box! However, if I open an image and simply hit "print" - the entire page is gray - which is wasting tons of ink. Creating the new doc and placing the image on that doc and then printing it is a fine temporary solution to the problem but it is not conducive to my business. Anyone with any knowledge on this situation would be a lifesaver. Happy to provide any additional details needed!!!
Please offer any insight you have - this has been driving me crazy for weeks!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.

Problems with the background image size in a photobook

Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank you

Problem with printing logo in smartforms

Hi guys,
we have a logo in a window, its working fine in print preview, however when printing the document its all black. The logo does not display, instead the window is blackened.
Please advise.

Hi freishz ,
When u r sayin 'document its all black' do u mean that the background of image is appearing black or it is completely black nothing is displayed?
I had faced similar problem in smartform,where i was gettin grey background of the logo...
For this, you need to edit the logo image first. open the logo image in ms paintbrush and save it as 256 color bitmap image. now upload this bitmap in sap using tcode se78.
Now use this logo......

Problem with a display in SMARTFORMS

Good afternoon everybody,
I have a problem concerning a smartform.
My actual table looks like this :
Page 1
Column 1      Column 2
DATA 1 -
> DATA 2
DATA 3 -
> DATA 4
DATA 5 -
> DATA 6.... etc
Page 2
Column 1      Column 2
DATA 7 -
> DATA 8
etc.
And I need to display the table like that (in vertical) :
Page 1
Column 1      Column 2
DATA 1        DATA 4
DATA 2        DATA 5
DATA 3        DATA 6
Page 2
Column 1      Column 2
DATA 7        DATA 11
DATA 8
DATA 9
DATA 10
Does anybody know how to do that (if this is possible) ?
Thx for your help.
Edited by: HenriAD on May 4, 2009 2:17 PM

suppose the table is itab with columns A and B,
so ur data is like wa-A and wa-B.
now use a table node to loop at itab into wa.
now create two rows with line type having single column.
loop
ROW1 -
print wa-A
ROW2
print wa-B.
endloop.
this way u'll get ur data vertically

Why is Safari 5.1.7 for Windows the only browser that displays video with gray background, when it's white in four other browsers?

Hello all,
Here's my coding obstacle to overcome with Safari in my local dev environment using Windows 7 32-bit and wamp server. I created a pretty straightforward one and a half minute animation in Flash with a white background. Then I exported it as both an swf and avi video, then I encoded to several different file formats - ogg, mp4, and webm. Firefox 19, Chrome 24, and Opera 12 all play the webm file correctly showing the video's white background as expected, and IE 10 plays the mp4 correctly.
However, when Safari 5.1.7 plays one of these files that I can't distinguish (because right click functionality displays nothing), the video's background property is changed to (gray) throughout the video instead of white. What the?
Can someone please provide a workaround?

Yes, I am still having the automatic tab reloading and I am ******* sick of it.
I have lost count of how much work I have lost because of it.
I have 8 GB of perfect new RAM and tonnes of SSD HD space, I have tried reinstalling the OS etc and every fix on the internet (no (SP) mode does not work, nor does switching Java off etc, it's not an extension nor corrupted anything ... it's an uncontrollable fault with Safari).
Why does it keep happening !?!
And I am so sick of Apple not acknowledging this and responding to it.
What triggers it ... it is a built memory or cache limitation? It is a plain and simple crash?
How do I debug it to find out?
It strikes me that 20 years after the internet went public Apple ... despite all their billions and open source developers working for free ... still cannot make a browser that does not crash and so they decided to make a browser that *appears* not to crash ... except that it *does* ... only now the facade remains erect but everything else behind it crashes causing all tabs to reload, and videos and music start to play.
And there is no way to stop it doing so.
The most key app of our day and it is a POS.

IMac display problems with gray to white gradients

My early 2006 iMac 20 has problems displaying gradients going from pure white to light gray. The web colors are #000000 to #EEEEEE (RGB 238 238 238 and 255 255 255)
My cheaper Acer and Fijutsu Siemens displays can handle this very well, but my iMac cuts the gradient prematurely and makes the gray darker. It looks as if the gradient on my iMac is a dark gray bar and a white bar, instead of a smooth gradient compared on the two other monitors.
I know the iMac doesn't have the best display for a designers need, but it can't be that 'cheap' or can it? I have tried to calibrate the display with both manual expert mode and using ColorSpyder. The latter gave me a blue/magenta colormode with beige gamma each time, so I gave that up.
The frustration is that I have use my iMac as secondary display and one of the other primary. It is not the optimal arrangement for an office environment.
Does anyone have the same problem or do they have any good advice for me as of what to do?

Thanks for all the speedy replies.
Barbara:
This was reassuring news, I have been using Spyder2express with both the bundled calibration software and another professional (and high revered) software, which name is completely lost to me right now.
In both cases, with blinds shut, lights turned off and no other interference, I got a beige/dark result from both. With a bit of flicking with the settings, I managed to produce only a sick magenta result.
Your post reassures me that it can be done, so I am going to borrow the Spyder2 again and try all over, even read myself to death on the instructions once more.

IPhoto library sudden problems with gray thumbs/pictures

Very suddenly, the pictures in the iPhoto library started behaving oddly. They would show up normally until the slider was moved to larger and then become gray. Double-clicking would not open them, either in edit or in another image program. After reading some of the discussions, (and backing up the folder to another computer), I tried rebuilding the library. Now all I get is gray, no pictures at all.

Hi Vijay and Wallez,
Did either of you rename, move or do anything like that in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder?
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder

Also if you follow the suggestion on page 1 and still have the same problems, you might have to follow the instructions on page 2 to get your images back.

Tiny but annoying problem with desktop backgrounds

Whenever I use fast user switching to switch from my admin account to the standard user account it briefly shows a picture that was set as the background a long time ago and then shows the currently set background. Its that close up of a bright scarlet rose that comes with the OS. But its been changed several times since then and it doesn't do anything similar when I go from the standard to the admin account. I know its a tiny problem but its starting to really annoy me every time I see that overly bright picture flashed on the screen for a second or two.

I managed to sort it out by myself.
