Saving SAPSCRIPT to a PDF file using ADS

Hello,
I had posted this message on thread Re: Want SAPSCRIPT Work orders to be saved as PDF via ADS. but i was adviced to post it here.
I need to know whether a SAPSCRIPT (Work Order) in SAP ECC ABAP can be saved as a PDF form if ADS is installed and Configured?
We have a 3rd party converter installed on users desktop which converts it into PDF so when user goes to IW32 to print WO, they get a print pop-up and they select this 3rd party converter which gives them the option to save it as PDF file.
We need to know (since we have ADS installed/configured), whether it is possible to save this SAPSCRIPT WO to PDF instead of using this 3rd party tool? We dont want people to install the 3rd party converter since we have over 5000 users.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Set password to PDF file using ADS server

How to set password to .PDF file using ADS(Adobe Development Service) server?
Moderator Message: Not enough effort seen from OP. Thread Locked.
Edited by: kishan P on Jul 14, 2011 11:51 AM

Thanks for your prompt reply. Well forget about conversion but there should be a way to just password protect any PDF file, correct?
We have a 3rd party tool which does that for our VB6 apps, I am surprised how come Acrobat SDK doesn't expose those Properties/Methods for VB6 model.

Cannot save pdf files using Reader 9.1

I cannot save the pdf files from online journals as .pdf files using Reader 9.1 The only options it gives me are html or plain text. Previous versions of Reader saved the pdf files easily. Configuration issue?

What browser are you using? Are you positive that they are PDF files? If so, do you have a link we can look at?
Typicaly, if they really are PDF fies, that's the only option you get when you use fie>save as. If they're just web pages, you get the options that you mention.

Manipulate plain pdf files with ADS

Hi experts,
We are struggling with following requirement:
Within a webdynpro application plain pdf files (transferred dayly to the servers file system) may be accessed and viewed.
The pdf should be viewed without any rights to print and save.
The trouble is - the pdf files are printable and saveable but can not be manipulated before this step.
We are using NW 7.01 and WD for Java.
To solve this we configured ADS an tried to convert the PDF using the clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.api.
Yet we found no way to rewrite our pdf files with the api.
Looking through serveral forums did not give us a hint.
Are we going the wrong way?
Did we assume falsely that we can manipulate plain pdf files via ADS?
Thanks' and kind regards,
Horst

Hi Dezso,
thank you for this information! So don't need to invest more time in research.
As I understand the ADS is designed for forms and workflow stuff.
On the other hand to have such a powerfull tool like ADS which can not perform such simple actions like manipulation of non ADS generated pdf appears to me quite sad.
@Otto: As stated above - take a (non ads generated) pdf (e. g. from file system), add/remove rights and view it in a WD. No need of interactive form, template or data if not necessary.
Best regards,
Horst

How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

Hello,
I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
on mouseUp me
pageNum = 4
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum) & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
-- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
end
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
The help files give the following examples:
Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
So I tried:
on mouseUp me
-- Close the program group
tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
pageNum = 4
theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
end
It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
Thanks again!

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

How to check the resolution of a pdf file using Acrobat 9 pro?

PDF files don't have one resolution, but may have none or many different resolutions, one per image. You can check the maximum/minimum resoluion with preflight in Acrobat Pro, but not in Adobe Reader.

Print PDF file using Acrobat SDK - Warning message

Hello,
We are trying to create automatic program in c# that will print all pdf files located in a specific folder, using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK.
Whenever the application tries to print file, we receive a warning message ("WARNING! A script has requested to print an Acrobat file. This could print an entire document. Do you want to proceed printing?").
If we press yes, the file is printed, but next time we'll run the application, this message will appear again.
Since this application supposed to run automatically (with no interaction with the end users), we want to prevent this warning message from appearing.
How can we eliminate this warning message?
Is there any other way to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat from another application?
Thanks,
Lilach.

joeln3: I believe the original post refers to a client application, not a web page. Why use JavaScript from within a client application? I understood their use case to involve a client app referencing the PDF Library, loading various PDF files, and using one (or more) of the PDF Library's Print methods to invoke Acrobat's internal print routines.

How can i scan to a pdf file using hp officejet 4500 scan feature

how can i scan to a pdf file using hp officejet 4500 scan feature. only give a jpg or bit extension

pf1tarac wrote: how can i scan to a pdf file using hp officejet 4500 scan feature. only give a jpg or bit extension
Hello pf1tarac, I don't believe that is possible. In order to create a PDF file, you would need Adobe Acrobat or some other PDF compatible product to save a scan to the PDF format.
There are some free PDF programs available. Here is a link to one of them.

PDF is an end destination format - although Acrobat is capable of making minor changes to a file (e.g. to correct typos) it is not a word processor or DTP application. Major changes must be done in the original document, and the PDF file re-exported.
You can copy text from a file by selecting it and right-clicking, or you can save the file as plain or formatted text. To make small changes to the text on a page, use the touchup tool - see the help file for more info.

Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser" option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Open pdf file using ms access visual basic 2000 (9.0.2720)

I'm using Acrobat reader to open pdf file using a vb proceedure , how ever I can't get it to open a specific file thats in another file folder.
The code I'm using looks like the following: This is windows 7, using the (x86) virtual in 32 bit mode.
Private Sub Form_Click()
'checks for valid msds document
Dim fs As FileSearch
Dim stAppName As String
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_form_Click
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
             .NewSearch
            .LookIn = "c:\program files (x86)\cvmm\msds\"
            .FileName = Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
            .MatchTextExactly = True
If .Execute() <> 0 Then
                    stAppName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\program files(x86)\cvmm\msds\" & Me![MSDS Index #] & ".pdf"
                      Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
           End If
                 End With
exit sub
Err_form_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
         Resume Exit_form_Click
Exit_form_Click:
        MsgBox " no file found."
End Sub
This used to work when I was using acrobat 5.0,

You should have quotes around a filename that has spaces in it. Older versions were more forgiving for some reason.
Much better anyway is to use ShellExecute, which means you don't have to know or care what PDF reading software is installed and how to run it.
