SAP PRINT to WORD

We have a requirement from Tanzania Government,
Printing of document must be in readable format PDF/DOC which is to be processed via electronic signature device, so that all the values can be read then some digitial signature printing will be done.
We are printing all the document in printing via OTF (SAPSCRIPT), which has few LOGO's and data in tabular format with borders, so far the above said device does not support readable PDF that is been printed directly from SAP. So we need to convert the same in to word format, with all the formatting intact.
Ways to do the same,
1) Using 3'rd party PDF to word coverter which has been striked out.
2) OLE automation from SAP to WORD via mail merge
3) ??
My Question,
1 ) Can we configure any device in windows which will print documents in word, like PDF printer is configured, so that spool can be sent to such device and document can be printed.
2 ) Can we configure any device in SPAD, printer configuration, which will print documents in word, so that spool can be sent to such device and document can be printed.
3) Any Sample code would be welcomed.
4) If any one is doing the same, please let us know.
Regrads,

Hi,
Per my knowledge, I think:
1/ We cannot configure any device to print documents in word, instead you must use OLE to export documents to WORD manually.
2/ If you want sample of code in OLE to Word, please do a searching. I think a lot of answers appear.
It's all my opinion. Any other discussion please post.
Thanks,

Why can't I print a word document from my macbook pro

Since the last software upgrade, I am unable to print from word. I can print from excel and ppt, but not word. I have re-installed the printer drivers after uninstalling them but it still doesn't work.

If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

LaserJet 2600n won't print Ms. Word doc, Publisher, nor excel. Sends paper thru, but no print on it.

My HP Color LaserJet 2600n printer won’t print a Microsoft Word document, nor a Microsoft Office Publisher, any longer. When I try printing a Word document in `either black or colors, the printer sends the paper through, but no print is on the paper. When I click “Properties” in the print dialog box, I get a pop-up window saying, “Word cannot bring up the properties dialog because the printer returned an error.”
I reinstalled the printer driver, and restarted my computer, but this did not help. None of the trouble shooting actions helped.
However, it does print from notepad. But when I tried to print a Ms Excel document, the error box said, “Current printer is unavailable. Select another printer.” And when try to print a pdf file, I get message, “Adobe Reader stopped working.”
I use a 64-bit Toshiba Satellite P505 with Windows 7.
Please advise.

I felt i had to come to help you if your problem was not solved.
I've a customer who just came up with this problem. He is using Office 2003 on Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits. He is using also a Color LaserJet 2600n. We just reinstalled his software on a new computer and we started experiencing "Current Printer Is Unavailable" in Excel. When trying to access Page Setup, it was also giving us that same message, and
then we had a dialog listing every computer available.
We produced a PDF, tried to print from Acrobat Reader, it crashed too the same way you mentionned.
Here's what happenned:
We first installed the driver available from HP web site
We did some updates from Microsoft Web Site. There was an optional hardware update for the LaserJet 2600n, so we installed it. This update is completely {Language Filter Evasion}
Uninstall your printer driver (well, just remove it from your printer list)
Then reinstall it. In our case, it was accessed thru IP.
When it was installing, it asked us to keep the same driver or REPLACE the driver... pick-up REPLACE the driver!
And you are good to go...

Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
It is the final generated document that has this problem.
I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
Any other advise?

Printing from Word 2008 to PDF does not preserve hyperlinks

Hi,
I have discovered that when I print a Word 2008 (ver. 12.2.4) document to PDF format using Mac OS X version 10.6.2, some of the hyperlinks are lost.
Links where the hyperlink address is visible in the document are preserved, while all others are lost. Interestingly, the PDF shows the text with the hyperlink as if it still has a hyperlink, but the link does not function. I have posted an illustration:
- original Word document (zipped): http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.zip
- converted PDF document: http://people.trentu.ca/~rloney/files/hyperlinktestword-to-PDF.pdf
I've tested this with both .doc and .docx formats and there is no effect, nor does it matter whether I print as PDF using Mac OS X, or convert the Word file to PDF using Adobe Acrobat ver. 9.3. I have run the same test with Apple's TextEdit and all links are preserved, so this appears to be specific to Word on the Mac.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any work around?
I will try to find a place I can report this to Microsoft as a bug.
Thank you,
Rob

I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer. Sometimes it just freezes. I cannot select another printer.

I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer. Sometimes it just freezes. I cannot select another printer. It’s like all my printers are gone. Sometimes I get an “Unable to Connect” error and sometimes I get “1 document in printer queue”. No matter what printer I choose after I try to go to Adobe, I cannot connect to a printer. The only solution I have come up with is a clean reboot which I can't afford to do 4-5 times a day.
Currently on Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09

Hi Tymuls,
The first step I would try is delete the Adobe pdf printer and then repair Acrobat.
Repairing Acrobat will bring back the pdf printer. We released an update yesterday i.e. 11.0.10. try updating to the latest version and check.
Have you tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
You might also want to check the performance in a new admin user account.

Can't print from Word or Acrobat

OK, I had this problem maybe two years ago and I did fix it. The problem is back and I don't remember how I fixed it.
I have an HP printer (new printer since the last time I had this problem so its not necessarily the printer) - MS Word and Acrobat Adobe will not allow me to print.
I can print Appleworks and can convert Word to pdf and print it with Preview not Acrobat.
Did I reinstall the printer program? or Word or Acrobat?
Diane

There is absolutely no relationship between what InDesign installs (and uses) and the operation of Microsoft Word and Acrobat. InDesign does not install any system components or share any system components with Word and Acrobat.
Look elsewhere for causes and solutions. In the case of Acrobat, if you have specific issues with printing with specific types of PDF files and/or devices, post your questions on the appropriate Acrobat forum (“Printing and Prepress”).

J6480 not printing to word 2007 or word 2003!

Relatively new J6480 AIO will not print a word document from Word 2007 or 2003 version. All other forms of documents from the office suite can be printed i.e. Excel, power point, microsoft pub. etc. Even pdfs. Any suggestions?

Don't know if you can still update your WORD, but this sounds like a common WORD problem, though I have not heard about it with 97. I assume you get the same result if you print to paper, always a good check. If so, then start looking at WORD.

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

Printing a Word document to pdf

Is it possible to directly print a Word document to jpg through Adobe, or do I first have to print it to pdf and then save it as a jpg?

Hi jmt111,
It is not possible to convert Word document to JPG using Adobe Acrobat. You need to first convert the Word file to PDF and then you can save that PDF file to JPG (JPEG or TIFF or PNG).

SmartForm Text not printing from SAP printer but prints on LOCL

I have a smartform that looks great on the screen and if i print locally ( default printer). When i print it on an SAP printer the text is not readable. It looks like barcodes or that the text is stretched about 1 inch high. The data that doesnt print is only in the table sections. if i increase the font size to 10.0 it prints but is too large for the form. Any suggestions? I could send a PDF of the document if you wish.
Dave Baxandall

Hi,
What is the printer model and what devce type is defined in the output device for the SAP printer? Perhaps the device type used doesn't support the font size. Check via SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> < Device type>.

Printing in Word for Mac: strange result

Today I tried a simple thing like printing a word page from app Word for mac. Usually I obtain a normal print. But today the result is quite strange: the page is printed in an over stretched form, characters seem stretched in vertical, but with some line missing. I tried to reinstall the Office suite, but same result obtained. I only got to have the page printed by exporting it into iPhoto and printing from there...

all settings ok, since printing a sample page from printer driver works fine.
Thanks in advance for helping.

First I would try trashing the MS Word preferences file. That is located at Home>Library>Preferences>com.microsoft.word.plist. Then try again.

Hi voltric2014,
If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I'm getting # marks when printing from Word to .pdf; what's going on?

I recently reinstalled OS and all software, including Acrobat 9. (No virus, just like to freshen things up on the system.) Now, when I print from Word to a .pdf file, I get # marks inserted near header and footer. This never happened before. I unchecked the box (under properties) that says, "rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and that made them go away, but I never had to mess with that previously. Is that, in fact, the solotion, or is there something else going on that needs to be corrected?
Thanks

The check box was checked by default. I made no revisions to the settings after reinstalling Adobe.
As noted, this had never happened before. The document was a letter with a letterhead graphic inserted (.png I believe). When I pulled up various old letters I prepared using the letterhead template or even the blank letterhead template itself and printed to .pdf, the # marks showed up, whereas that had never happened previously. Again, though, I made no changes to the default settings, so I'm wondering whether unchecking the check box really did take care of the problem or is just "masking" or "hiding" some other issue.

Smart form printing issue with LOCL printer and SAP printer

Hi,
The issues are as follows:
1. the top portion of the Invoice and PO does not print when using the SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
2. the shaded areas of the Order Confirmation and Invoice are black when printing to a SAP printer (works when using LOCL)
In an attempt to correct the printing issue is was suggested that we change the SAP printer device type from HPLJ4 to POST2. This did address the problem where the shaded areas were black but then we received reports that other reports printed "garbage". Its possible that using POST2 device type causes issues when printing to HP compatible printers.
Apparently all the testing was done using the SAP printer LOCL and not the SAP printer name and SAP spool system. LOCL uses the SAP GUI and Windows system to produce the output. Our production users at the plant site and Toledo are using SAP defined printers with the device type of HPLJ4. HPLJ4 is our standard here as OC for our printer definitions and we have HP compatible printers installed in our Toledo location and all of our remote sites. We need to be able to correctly print the Invoices, Purchase Orders, Sales Order Confirmations on our SAP printers.
What can be done to the reports to allow them to print on our HPLJ4?
Thanks,
Babu

Hi Prathap,
Check the background shading of the windows of the Smartform where you get the black boxes. If it is set something like this:
Color: White
Saturation: 100%
this can be the problem.
I know it is strange but some black and white printers cannot handle this setting. They only know one color black so the ignore the color setting and just take the saturation 100% setting.
The reason it works with local and device type SAPWIN is that the print data is created in Windows and sent to the printer as graphic.
Please change the shading for window MAIN -> tab 'Output Options' to:
Color: Black
Saturation: 0%
and this should resolve the problem.
Then create a new spool and check if the problem is resolved. See SAP Note #400050.

Prabhu
