Sapscript form print as PDF

Hello,
is there a way to setup a printer that we can print sapscript form into a PDF file?
We don't want to go over the spool request and use RSTXPDFT4.
I have already setup a printer with device type PDF1, Host Spool Access Method F:Printing on Frontend Computer and Host Printer __Default. But for some reasons it doesn't work. We are running SAP Enterprise 470.
Any help?
Thanks
Anne

You must choose a FILE printer. See these notes:
[Note 576973 - Creating a file printer on a Windows PC|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/576973]: steps to add a Windows (if it's Vista, see note 1164132) printer of type Generic/Text only, and to create an output device in SAP to print to this printer. It does not explain that we may just change the port of an existing printer.
[Note 1164132 - Front-end printing on Windows printer with FILE port|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1164132]: note 576973 applied to Windows XP and before, but it doesn't work anymore on Windows VISTA because the dialog box to enter the file name is no more displayed. A change in SAPGUI 7.10 was made (and it works only with access method G) to display a SAP dialog box to enter file name.

About include text in sapscript form printing

hi experts:
I am learning about form printing,the control command-include,for example:INCLUDE ZTEST OBJECT TEXT ID ST.
the question is:how to ceate the text?
thanks

Hi,
Standard text are used to include a Fixed Note or Rules or regulation document in SAPSCRIPT.
You can include this text any where in your SAPSCRIPT, just by using include text.
It is created in SO10 transaction, Where you can create the standard text. Object Name --> Starting with Z, Text ID --> ST, Language --> EN
Just enter the text you want to display inside the editor and save it.
Then go to sapscript editor --> in Menu Include --> Text --> Standard.
It wil get included.
Hope this may be useful..

SAPScript form printing twice

Hi Experts,

Thanks in advance!

Sapscript form prints #

Hi,
Pls reply back if you have come across such a sapscript issue before.
Sometimes(Not always) all the contents in a sapscript print out (also the print preview) prints all characters as # . Each and every character on the form prints as '#### .....' .
Printer used - Xerox WorkCenter
Printer Driver - HP Laserjet 4 Series PCL - 5
Let me know the soln in case anybody has come across such an issue before.
Thanks,
ashok

Hi Ashok,
Can you give some details, like is this happening for only specific printers or font+font size combination as SAPScript recognizes fonts with specific sizes for e.g. Font HELV has font sizes recognized by 10 and 8, 9 - HELV is not recognized by the Script.
As for me I think this problem might be solved by changing Printer Configuration.
Thanks

Physical Inventory SAPscript form printing.

Hi Friends,
we have developed a SApscript form and print program for physical inventory documnet . and we r using z transaction code to run this..
now the requiremnt is . the same form and print program need to be called when they run the transactions MI03, or MI01 or MI02.
it seems to be there are no Output types related to physical inventory.
Could any one of you guide me how to do assign this custom form and program to these transactions.
Its bit urgent.
thanks in advance.
Jeyaseelan.G

Dear all,
I think I've got the answer (even though it is 3 years after question was posted).
Let me re-cap the problem:
1) A set of SAPscript form and print program (beginning with 'Z') for physical inventory document are developed
2) This set of SAPscript form and print program produce similar printout as that in T-code: MI03, or MI01 or MI02
3) The SAPscript form is copied from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" and the print program is copied from "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"
4) However, there is no output types available for configuration for user to print physical inventory document using this new set of SAPscript form and print program
Am I correct ?
The re-solution is: Maintain the output types entries (program, form) in table "T159N"
1) T-code: MI01 , MI02, MI04 will call T-code: MI21 when user selects to print physical inventory document
2) T-code: MI21 will call print program "RM07IDRU" (this is maintained in T-code SE93)
3) Program RM07IDRU" will call SAPscript "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" (this is maintained in table "T159N")
Hence, if you develop new sets of SAPscript form and print program (by copying from "INVENT" or "INVENT_VKBW" / "RM07IDRU" or "RWWVINVB"), try table "T159N".

My sapscript form prints a blank page...

Hello experts,
I am currently modifying a sapscript wherein it prints a page that doesnt contain any data in its main window. How do I prevent this? Again, thank you guys and have a nice day!

Hi Viraylab,
Assign a text element say it is 'TEST' to that window, and try to call the write_form with that text element.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Then whatever u write after this text element will get displayed on that particular window.

Convert SAPSCRIPT forms to PDF

We need to do a report that can generate several pdfs from a payment run (SAP-FI), so we need to have one pdf for each payment in the run (they are in SAPSCRIPT form).
The program that we use is copy of "J_1AF012" and the we use "SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF" function to obtain the pdf form, but the changes that we did in the standard were:
a) in the "OPEN_SAPSCRIPT"
*&      Form OPEN_SAPSCRIPT
      text                                                           *

                DEVICE = 'PRINTER'
                 DEVICE = c_printer
       IMPORTING
                 RESULT = W_RES.
ENDFORM.                               " OPEN_SAPSCRIPT
b) In the "CLOSE_SAPSCRIPT" :
FORM CLOSE_SAPSCRIPT.

shift C_ORDEN left deleting leading space.
CONCATENATE C_PATH C_NAME1 C_ORDEN C_EXTENSION INTO C_NAME.

              WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
c) And we added these functions:
Converting OTF data to single line
LOOP AT i_otf INTO w_otf.
        CONCATENATE w_otf-tdprintcom w_otf-tdprintpar
                                              INTO w_pdf.

            filetype = c_bin
        TABLES
            data_tab = i_content_bin.
When we run the program the error is a dump with:
"DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_CURSOR
CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB        "
and aparenttly is due to the cursor in BKPF table is closed (or missing) in some of those functions.
We use the "open_form" and "close_form" for each payment document, and we could generate only the first pdf and then the program cancel (to the second pdf) with this mentioned error.
We are on R/3 4.70, 620, and Informix Database.
Please, could you kindly help us???

Hi,
I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.
Good Luck

PDF Form Printing Text, but no Form

I have an accountant trying to print a PDF Form. It cannot be saved, but only printed. When the form is completed and printed, it only prints out the entered text, and nothing else. All other PDF docs print fine
IT conditions:
She prints to an older Panasonic Copy machine
Her printer connection is Shared
Another PC can print the same form 100% fine and that machine goes through here PC to the printer.
Completed Troubleshooting:
First discovered she was on Reader 10.1.3 and the other PC was 10.1.1
Did a complete uninstall of 10.1.3 to include deleting from registry
Installed 10.1.1 with same issue.
Verified all a printer and reader settings are the same for both PCs
Attempted work arounds:
Installed doPDF virtual printer to try and save the completed form as PDF
PDF prints text and form text, but not the field borders for each block
Installed Nitro PDF as default PDF reader, same issue. Will not print out the field borders.
Additional Troubleshooting:
Ran full virus and malware/spyware scans with no issues.
Specific Form:
https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4722
Searched all over the internet with Google and have had no luck finding any suggestions

When you print it, the box that pops up should say, under the Comments and Forms box, "document and markups". Hope that helps.

I can't print my PDF form after it is filled out. Only the form prints not the text that I put in

I can't print my PDF form after filling it out. Only the form prints and not the text I put in.

That's a limitation of Apple's AirPrint framework that Adobe Reader depends on. We are considering an alternate solution that may resolve this issue though.
Thanks for your feedback.

Can we add logo to sapscript Form Result while coverting to PDF?

Hi Expert,
My requirement is, I have to covert Form Result to PDF.but while converting Form result to OTF , Can we Add logo to the OTF data? Can logo be saved in text format? only then we can add logo to OTF data probably.
Please Help.
Thanks in Advance

As you have probably searched the forum, you saw that you can get the sapscript result as OTF.
Graphics are automatically handled by SAP which stores them in the OTF (RD and BM lines).
And then you convert OTF to PDF as usually.
So, where is the question?
