Rich text output?? Using FormattedTextEdit Element in NW 7.02

So SAP now gives us a cool element that allows users to input text using a limited number of formatting options (bold, italics, header size 1/2/3, Indent, bullet).
We currently use interactive forms to print out several different project forms. However, mgmt really wants to display this rich text on the PDF.
Searching high and low, there apparently is no good way to display formatted text in adobe interactive forms.
We thought about just building the output form as a WDA application - however, this presents other problems such as page breaks.
Does anyone out there know of a way to get formatted text out of SAP onto a PDF/other form output?

Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. We've had success in the past (NW 7.00) with passing those SAPScript text objects to Adobe for formatting.
Is this only available for interfaces define as data dictionary? I don't see the option to create a TEXT node in WDA when my interface is defined as XML-based.
We have become heavily invested in AIF, and it's hard to imagine that something as simple as RTF can't be easily rendered somehow outside SAP. We were hoping that with 7.02, an easier method would be available.

How to develop a rich text editor using Web-Dynpro?

Hello Everyone,
I am new hire,
today I got a task from leader to develop a rich text editor using Web-Dynpro,
Because I just finished the BC400 and NET310 training and lack of expericen in ABAP,
Can anyone tell me the main idea to accomplish the task?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Derek

Have you looked at the standard UI Element
[FormattedTextEdit|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/44/2772f505605447e10000000a422035/frameset.htm] it's not perfect, but it does allow some simple formatting.
Anything beyond this - you're going to need to use an Island.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Creating a text output using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Recently i created a report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
Miranga

From what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

Print PDF rich text editor using BI Publisher

Hi !
I have a CLOB field from database, and I store data using a rich text editor, like a MS Word system, here as you know, I can write words in bold format, use differents kind of colors, etc... and use all formatted text that the editor allow me. I haven't problems once save this data into table and restore again, I can see all this data formatted , and I don't loose any property of this formatted text.
The problem is when I want print this information in the same way that I can see in the rich text editor. I use BI Publisher for generate a PDF, when I send this field for print a PDF, the PDF that BI publisher generate, print only text, prints all characters including generating that text is formatted, for example, if the field is written in bold print "hello" in the PDF generated by BI Publisher see "< b. > hello ".
Please which is the way for print the same as is displayed in the rich text editor?
Thanks in advance.

Bump Again. I understand how to remove the HTML tags, thats not a problem. The problem is getting the report to print the data from a Rich Text Field stored in a CLOB or NCLOB as formatted text. Is there a "Master Style Template" or "Master Rich Text Field Subtemplate"?

Can I create a text image using Photoshop Elements?

I would like to purchase Photoshop Elements to create a text poster of my kids sport pictures. I am just an amatuer and can't justify the CS version. Will Elements work for this?

Text output using string indicator from subVI to mainVI

Hi,
I think I asked similar question before, but since then my program got more complicated.
Here is my issue.
I have a program with nested loops to print out the stream of strings in subVI
and it needs to be updated in a string indicator in mainVI.
When I say "update", it needs to be updated as it comes out line by line, not by
the block when the loop is finished.
I was not successful doing this by both shift register or RefNum.
Maybe I do not know the advance usage these two.
So can someone show me how?
I have attached simplified version of my labview program.
Thank you in advance!!!
Solved!

Hi horanyee,
use some standard shift registers to achieve your goal... They will keep the previous valu so you can ad the new line!

Limiting text output using CFM

I have a news website in which I want to display about three
lines of each entry whiles the rest of the story is read on a
detail page. Can somebody help me out with the code that will
automatically cut off text display and give way to a 'more' link?
Thanks.

That part does not go into the query, but is put onto the
page and it is
what the enduser see's. What the code is saying is show 255
characters from
the left.......of what the query brings back. If you increase
the number 255
then of course it will bring back that much more info....if
you decrease it
will do the opposite.

Reading Word attachments (with Rich Text Format) in Mail

I have difficulty opening "Word email attachments" that contain "Rich Text Format" using my ipod touch under the MAIL function. For normal Word documents, I have no issue at all. Can anyone help here? Thank you.

RTF contains alot of extra formatting junk that you need to be aware of, depends what you want to do with the files afte reading them in but JAVA has its own RTF parser standard. Be warned its not full proof.....
import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.Document;
try {
      FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("C:/Document.rtf");
      RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
      Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
      kit.read(stream, doc, 0);
      String plainText = doc.getText(0, doc.getLength());
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(plainText));
      String line = br.readLine();
      while (line != null) {
        StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
        while (tok.hasMoreTokens()) {
          System.out.print(tok.nextToken() + " ");
        System.out.println();
        line = br.readLine();
    } catch (Exception ex) {}

Making Rich Text Editor with PHP in Dreamweaver - Problem with CKEditor...

Hi,
I am developing a website in Dreamweaver and using the platform of PHP and MYSQL. I need to develop a Rich Text Editor just like the one I am typing at the moment. With my recent searches I have come across with CKEditor as one of the possibilities to add a Rich Text Editor to my website. I have seen older versions of CKEditor also known as FCKEditor which I believe unfortunatley is out of date and obsolete now (discontinued). I cannot find any of the downloads now from anywhere on the web.
I can find FCKEditor tutorials with PHP, but can not find CKEditor tutorials for PHP (when I try googling it, it always gives me FCKEditor page). Can anyone please help me and tell me if I can still make Rich Text Editor using CKEditor and PHP?
If yes, please guide me how? Any tutorials or reading material will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bilal . Khan

Yes, you absolutely can use CKEditor to create a rich text editor with PHP/MySQL.I have tried several editors and it's my choice.
Here is a link to the documentation page:
http://docs.cksource.com/
CKFinder is also very good in conjunction with CKEditor. Although it costs $59/per website, it's better than the free alternatives.

RTF OR Text Output

Hi All,
We are migrating from 11.5.10 to R12. We have check printing customize program. In this program we are priting text output using Concurrent progam which is based on Oracle report writer. Concurrent program output is Text.
Now I want to migrate this to R12, I was searching everywhere to find sample program which generates TEXT output similar to RTF template provided by Oracle IBYDC_STD1.rtf.
Please tell me how to proceed further.
Thanks

Not sure for a pre-printed stationary, you need the concurrent program output to be in Text format. Ideally, you can design you check in a RTF/PDF format. Additonally, you can look into following files.
IBYDC_LSR.rtf
PAYUSCHKWVXML_en.rtf
APCHECKPYMTSUP.rtf

Gmail rich text

A number of people have inquired about Safari not supporting rich text when using Gmail, I have the same question, none of the other inquires have answers. Why is Mac mute on this issue?

Gmail is the only one I know of. I had found an old mention of this Rich Text issue in an old thread that said hotmail and blog sites have this problem:
Barry Lee Reynolds, "Hotmail/Blogger Rich Text Formatting with Safari / Mac" #1, 06:59am Sep 1, 2005 CDT
(I guess it's not that old)
But Gmail is the only one I've encountered this on. Firefox for Mac and PCs show the rich text options, but not my Safari.

BIP EBS ed. using Rich Text in CLOB?

I have a custom region storing rich text in a CLOB field. I want to use BIP to report the rich text. Is this possible using the non-EE BIP? I only have access to the BIP edition that comes with e-business suite.
I have a report that is working before I add this new CLOB field, but when I try and output the CLOB field ( which contains copy/paste rich text from a MS Word document ) I get the following error when it attempts to create the "data" .xml file:
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'https://ofdev3.mitre.org:4454/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?...

Using a different Rich Text Editor ?

Hi,
I'd like to know if you're using a different Rich Text Editor other than the one provided by Oracle ?
Are you satisfied with it ? Especially in the management of images ?
Thanks
Max.

there is a textflow component
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/07/25/exporting-a-textflow-object-in-flex-4/
still exports to font tags unfortunately, but its closer than the richtexteditor. Its basically at the point where you could even write your own small parser and adapt the output to the format you desire.

How to Output Rich Text Format.

Hi everyone, i use a rich text editor called tiny mce in my web application. After i click the submit button the value inside the text area would be saved in my database including the HTML tags e.g. Sample Report edited via Tiny MCE Rich Text Editor. I need to output the text in a webuijsf static text component but the moment i see the output the tags are still there and the text is not in italics format. Does anyone know how to output it in static text with the design in it?

It is not updated for more than 1 years and it is dropped by Sun and users were recommended to migrate to ICEfaces.
[http://woodstock.dev.java.net]
The Woodstock release 4.2 is the last official version of Woodstock that Sun will release. Sun will continue to support its customers that have built on top of Woodstock 4.2. The Project Woodstock code is still available, and community members can still create new features or enhancements. For future development or migration of existing Woodstock projects, Sun is officially endorsing ICEfaces as the replacement technology for Woodstock. Also see [http://www.nabble.com/Woodstock-Migration-Path-to-ICEfaces-td21057513.html], although I would recommend RichFaces above that. It is only that it doesn't have a drag'n'drop palette for Netbeans, so it is not reachable for blind visual developers.
