SAP Output as MS word doc.

My requirement is to get the output as a MS word format ..
without using any third party toool? Can we really achieve it or not ?
What we propsed is a solution is to get the output to a PDF file then to use
the PDF to word converter which cost them some amount but they were not satisfied to that .
they need the output directly from SAP .
Can we do this in SAP or not ?

>> NO experts are replying for this Question ....
Hm... I don't think you will get very far with comments like this
But anyway...
I don't think there is a way to convert any output to MS Word format natively using only ABAP. It is possible using OLE but that requires MS Word to be installed on the workstation, plus due to OLE, this doesn't work in programs running in the background.
The situation is similar to generating an Excel spreadsheet (and now I'm not talking about DAT and tab delimited format but real native Excel output). It is also not possible without involving OLE or some other third party tool as far as I'm aware.
I'm sure there is a reason for this - probably related to licensing or something like that.
It'd be certainly nice to have a way to create .DOC or .XLS files natively from ABAP... just nobody developed it yet

Capturing the output of a jsp page and save that output in a WORD .doc file

Hi,
This is Naveen. I got stuck up with a problem/doubt. URGENT ! URGENT !
My doubt is how to capture the output of a jsp page(the content is dynamic generated) and save that output to a MS-Word doc file.
I know that therez an option of using Servlets Filters, but this concept is supported by Servlet 2.3 spec. and not earlier. And we are working on previous spec. and our web-servers also supports the prev. version and not the 2.3 version.
If incase, therez a third-party utility for free usage, suggestions are appreciated.
Hope most of them came across this kind of functional requirement. If anyone of them succeeded in this, please express ur bitter experience if any, faced during the coding.
Thanks in Advance for help.
Naveen

You can set the MIME content type as .doc and try to open the Page.
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); to generate the Page output as Excel
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-word"); to generate the Page output as MS Word doc
Hope this helps..

SAP Form layout output in MS word doc.

Hi Everybody,
I have a requirement from business where they would like to get the output of a docuemnt in MS word format so that they can add some text or input text in the output and then manually send to customer through mail. Now the question is by what mechanism or method can we have the output to be stored in MS word format and save in the local machine to provide the user the facility to edit it?

Hi yogesh.,
There is no standard possibility to do Word outputs in SAP.
you can do manually..
After the print preview, Select the menu Goto->List Display.
Now select the menu System->List->Save->Local File.
Now you can select the radio buttion Rich Text Format.
Now you save the document as a .doc file (say test.doc)
That is it!!!!!
Anyway you can develop connection of Mail-merge technology of Microsoft and SAP ABAP class i_oi_document_proxy.

Is it possible to add a word doc (as a separate file) in Captivate?

This could help to satisfy 508 compliance. This is in addition to the closed captioning feature, which I plan to incorporate.
FYI - I used Articulate Presenter in the past and was able to attach a Word Document, which user was able to access via link.
It would be nice to have a word doc incorporated into the stand-alone Captivate outpout.
Thanks!

Hi Share,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can add a word doc in Captivate as a separate file.
On a button or click box you can select the Action to "Open URL or File" and then type the name of the word doc in URL box. After publishing the output paste the word doc in the output folder and this will open the word doc as a separate file from the button.
Thanks

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
Best Regards,
Derek

Poor image quality when displaying OLE Word doc stored in BLOB

Hello,
I am migrating some CR Reports from VB6 to VB.NET 2008.
The reports retrieves Word documents that is stored in BLOB column on SQL Server 2005.
If CR.NET (same behaviour with 2005 and 2008 versions) renders the word document, the quality is really bad. Looks like an ugly moire effect. The characters below 8pt font size are hardly readable. I have already set the option "use full color-depth" in the report options.
If the same word doc is rendered with CR that's included in VB6, it shows a clear and sharp output - the same as displayed in word.
Where is the difference in handling Word OLE between those two CR versions?
Is there anything I can do to improve the quality with CR.NET?
Regards,
Stefan

Hello, Stefan;
Is this a Windows or Web application?
Visual Basic 6.0 shipped with Crystal Reports 4.6 Visual Studio .NET 2005 ships with Crystal Reports 10.2 and VS .NET 2008 with version 10.5.
The Crystal Reports application was rewritten in versions 5.0 and 9.0 and a great many changes were made - among them different options for including OLE Objects. See the [Note 1218374|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] for useful new functionality. I tested a report with a linked Word document and it viewed well through Visual Studio .NET 2008.
Is it possible support for the the Word format as a BLOB field in MS SQL Server has changed over time. What method is used to create the document as a BLOB field?
Are you using the bundled version included with Visual Studio .NET? In the article recommending the property 'Retain Original Image Color Depth', there is a note:
Note: This option only functions with the full version of Crystal Reports 9 or 10. This option does not function with the .NET Report Designer.
Originally the issue was fixed but only in a full versions of Crystal Reports Developer, not in the versions bundled with Visual Studio .NET.
I tested with a linked Word document and see some degradation when there is an image in the Word Document but not in the text itself.

Can we download SAP Script to a word document ?

Is it possible to download the SAP Script to a local Word documnet . and then is it possible to upload the Wrd Doc back to SAP SCript with a new Script name ..?

Hi
Hope it will help you.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
want to Insert SAP ICONS into from SAP into Word document (OLE) .
(1) Copy program DD_ADD_PICTURE into your own version called ZDD_ADD_PICTURE. Make sure
you select all the checkboxes (including GUI Status and screens).
(2) Paste the modified code at the end of this reply into your ZZ_ADD_PICTURE program.
(3) Run ZZ_ADD_PICTURE for a range of Icons (e.g. enter Icon name ICON_IN* on the selection screen)
(4) When you get the result list, type in ok-code EXPO directly in the ok-code
field (you could also add a button for this function in the GUI status).
(5) Download all the displayed icons as .gif files into a Windows folder
that you have created to hold the icon .gif files (e.g. C:SAPICONS)
(6) Now you can work with the icon files as you would any .gif file. (e.g. In a Word doc, use menu path

Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf

Hi,
Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance :)

I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
Hope that helps someone!

Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts. If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic. With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad. The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway. The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc). If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS. I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless. But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished. Managers are the most likely to be like this. And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.

Action to Convert Word doc to pdf, error: the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

I am simply running an action that converts all Word 2010 docs within a directory into pdfs in another directory. The Word doc is closed.
This is performed within Adobe Pro X. The directory to look in has been set. The directory to save in has been set, and is different.
The error message pops up after I run the action. If I click the OK button, the 'save pdf file as' box pops up, with Adobe printer's default save directory
(not the same as the above two) selected.
If I click Save, accepting the meaningless file name (ADPD5A5.pdf in this case) the problem goes away. If I chose cancel, the problem also goes away.
I don't want to save this pdf as anything other than what is set up in the action. How do I stop this from happening?
I've unchecked 'prompt for Adobe pdf file name' within the Word Adobe preferences, but to no success.
I will ultimately be converting scores of docs into pdfs, and cannot have to interfere with each one.
This worked fine on my XP machine, but now in Windows 7 64 bit (new machine, new Adobe install) it is causing this problem.

A bit of a confusion on my part;
Now we have created these REPORTS using Basic Crystal Report 10.5, which comes bundled with Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.0. Now on our machines, we have never experienced any issues.
Going by the above, you should have references to CR assemblies of version 10.5.3700 only. No other references.
Now, looking at this paragraph:
BUT on the DEV server (web server) which has .net Framework 3.0 and in its GAC its has CRYSTAL DLLs version 11.5 (required to create an Object of ReportClass and its related functions) ; sometimes we get the following error while exporting crystal report to pdf:
I wonder what runtime was deployed to the server. E.g.; if you are using CR 10.5, your assemblies will be 10.5.3700 and you should be deploying the following runtime (depending on 32 bit / 64 bit, etc.):
CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351342008E/CRBasicVS2008_redist_x86.zip
One way to check on what is actually loading is to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.
