Remove 'Page Extraction' security restriction in PDF generated by ADS
Hello Experts,
I am currently working on a SAP CRM project where we are using Adobe Document Services (ADS) to generate some PDF documents from SAP.
I have an issue with the Page Extraction security restriction associated to PDF generated by ADS.
This cause a problem to us since we are expecting the PDF to be processed by Streamserve later on. Streamserve is then 'converting' the PDF in its proprietary format (.lxf) and is preparing a Post Script file for our printing partner.
I have understood that Streamserve cannot processed our PDF because of the Page Extraction restriction (out from ADS, value is set to Not Allowed by default).
I have seen the following posts in SDN:
Page extraction property in PDF document is set to 'not allowed'
Document Restriction Interactive Form
I am then getting concerned since it does not look as straightforward as I would have expected.
--> Can anyone confirm if there is a way to set the Page Extraction restriction as Allowed?
Via ADS configuration? Via code? Via some work in SAP (SFP, output device config...)?
In the above SDN posts, I can read things about buying a policy server, using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Reader Extensions.
Does anyone have a clear cut?
Thanks a lot.
Brice.Hello,
I don´t know how to make this work. I would open the OSS message for this and want SAP to give a workaround or say clearly this cannot be done. Well... in one of the mentioned threads it is mentioned that SAP said this is the right behavior but there was not a word about if that can be changed.
Otto
p.s.: probably it would be better for you to send only RAW data (i mean only XML data) and make the partner work with it. If the PDF is converted to "something" by a machine, then you don´t need PDF (what is a user GUI), to send only the data should suffice, or not? -

Kind Regards,
Praveen ReddyHi Praveen,
Are you trying to make the xml into a string? I think if you remove the first tag, it will either automagically reappear or it will throw and error as being poorly formed xml.
In general, you can remove the nodes by the use of indexes. Since you are operating at the root level, I am not sure how well it will work, but if your xml is in a property, you can reference the specific nodes by something like this: myXML.Output{/*[1]} which if you put it in a tracer will display the contents of the first node (or blank if there are child nodes). The node index can be dynamically set, but start with the simple hard coded one. I would also start at the lowest child level to verify that it is working properly (a tracer will display the contents specified by the index). You can also google xml indices (or indexes) and it will point to some other useful xml operators.
I suggest that you play around with it and also work with the Link Types (hint: removeXML).

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive
Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards

Error when opening PDF files from SAP.
Hi Gurus
I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
PavanNow I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
'Reading Untagged Documents'
lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
then it asked for Reading options
then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
thanks

Print BDS document(in PDF format) from SAP R/3
Hello ,
I have a requirement to print BDS document(in PDF format) from SAP R/3 without user interaction.
In simple way, if I execute the program - PDF document will get printed on local default printer.
Please help me if anybody worked on similar requirement.
Thank you very much,
LiliyaHi Liliya,
First you should create a smartform for BDS Layout and give output parameter like this..
wa_param-langu = sy-langu.
wa_param-no_dialog = 'X'.
wa_param-getotf = 'X'.
wa_param-DEVICE = ' '. " (here you can give the path of your printer)
lv_output_options-tdnewid = 'X'. "Print parameters,
lv_output_options-tddelete = space. "Print parameters,
lv_output_options-tdnoprev = 'X' .
lv_output_options-TDIMMED = 'X' . " it will give the immediate output of form in given output device
I hope it will help you.....

Disappearing footers in PDF generated from FrameMaker 9
Myself and three other writers are having a problem with disappearing footers in FrameMaker. Here’s the problem: In FrameMaker, the footers display correctly. When we convert a book to PDF, many of the footers disappear. What we find is that a footer (or part of the footer) will appear on the first page of the chapter, but then the footers disappear in rest of the chapter.
Here is some more info:
· We are using Frame 9. My version is 9.0p250. I'm also using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Version 9.3.2 and Adobe Distiller: Professional Version 8.1.3.
· We have been able to duplicate this problem using multiple guides.
· Oddly, footers DO appear correctly when I print just one chapter.
· I’ve tried rebooting my machine and then loaded only FrameMaker (in case of memory issues).
· I optimized the book file and associated chapters.
· I experimented with different Distiller settings.
Anyone else having this problem?It's probably a symptom of needing the MS Hotfix that corrected a problem with text disappearing from PDFs generated from several Windows apps (not just FM).
More info here:
PS Hotfix KB 952909
Adobe blog: Hotfix for FrameMaker
Please let us know if this does the trick --

Trouble playing a PDF generated from Captivate
I have Adobe Pro and Flash Player 11.1, but unable to play a PDF generated from a Captivate file. The first message I get when I publish is "Note:To view the generated PDF file, you must have Adobe Reader version 9 or later."
When I open the generated PDF, i get this message "TO view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player."
WHat am I missing or doing wrong?You may want to ask in the Captivate forum, as this would likely be something that can be remedied with different "Save" settings. My experience with Captivate is limited, so I can't really offer anything I'd be 100% sure of.

Color graphic in a PDF generated from a SmartForm causes error
I have a SmartForm containing a color graphic. It works correctly,
appears just the way it should in Print Preview, and it prints
correctly. However, when I generate a PDF file from, Adobe Reader
complains that the PDF file is corrupt and refuses to print it. If I
remove the color graphic from the SmartForm and don't make any other
changes, I get a good PDF file that can be parsed, displayed, and
printed without any problems.
Why is the presence of the color graphic in the SmartForm leading to a
corrupt PDF file? Is there any workaround (short of removing the color
graphic) that I can use to get a good PDF file?
Here is a more detailed description of what I am doing.
1. Creating the color graphic
A. I started with a color .TIF file
B. I went to transaction SE78,
Form Graphics -> Stored on Document Server ->
GRAPHICS General Graphics -> BMAP Bitmap Images
C. Clicked on the "Import" icon
D. In the "File name" field, navigated to my .TIF file
E. Typed the name of my graphic in the "Name" field and some
descriptive text in the "Description" field
F. Selected the "Color Bitmap Image" radio button
G. Set the "Print Attributes" as follows:
Unchecked - Resides in the Printer Memory
Checked - Reserve Height Automatically
Unchecked - Compression
H. The color graphic seems to upload correctly
I. When I click on Print Preview, it is displayed perfectly.
J. When I use the Search Help associated with the name field to
find the graphic, it is shown with the name and description
that I gave it, the Object field is displayed as "GRAPHICS",
the ID field is displayed as "BMAP".
K. When I select Graphic -> Graphic Information, the Resolution is
75 DPI and the Size is 26.86 x 8.26 cm. When I use this graphic
in the SmartForm, I will enter the resolution as 300 DPI - in
order to get an image whose dimensions are one-quarter of these
dimensions, but which will have a good resolution for a laser
printer.
2. The use of the color graphic in the SmartForm
A. It is a "Graphic" node which is the first node on the first
(and only) page of the SmartForm.
i. The Name is the name of the graphic I created
ii. Object = "GRAPHICS"
iii. ID = "BMAP"
iv. The "Color Bitmap Image (BCOL)" radio button is selected
v. The Resolution = 300 DPI
B. The position and size are:
i. Left Margin = 15.00 MM
ii. Width = 69.00 MM
iii. Upper margin = 15.00 MM
iv. Height = 21.77 MM
3. The process of producing the PDF file
A. The function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME is called to obtain the
name of the function module associated with the SmartForm.
B. The function module (whose name was returned by
SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME) is called with:
i. CONTROL_PARAMETERS = a SSFCTRLOP structure with
GETOTF = 'X'
NO_OPEN = space
NO_CLOSE = space
NO_DIALOG = 'X'
ii. OUTPUT_OPTIONS = a SSFCOMOP structure with:
TDPRINTER = 'POST2'
TDDEST = space
TDNEWID = 'X'
TDIMMED = 'X'
TDDELETE = space
TDCOVER = space
TDCOPOES = 1
iii. JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = a structure of type SSFCRESCL used to
receive the OTF file
C. The function CONVERT_OTF is called with:
i. FORMAT parameter = 'PDF'
ii. OTF table parameter = the OTFDATA table contained within
the JOB_OUTPUT_INFO SSFCRESCL structure returned from the
SmartForm function module.
iii. BIN_FILE parameter = an XSTRING used to receive the PDF
file
iv. BIN_FILESIZE parameter = an integer used to receive the
size of the PDF file.Hello David,
The reason for this problem is probably related to the FlateDecode compression described in SAP Note 843480 (PDF conversion: Compression of bitmaps and TrueType fonts).
Try switching off the usage of FlateDecode compression again via report RSTXPDF3 as described in Note #843480.
It is a little confusing. The option 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' needs to be set to 'On' to turn off the FlateDecode compression.
To set this run as follows:
se38 -> RSTXPDF3 -> enter 'FLATE_COMPR_OFF' in the 'Name' field
-> Select 'Change Settings' radio button
You will get a pop-up 'Do not use flat compression'.
Select the 'on' button.
After this create a new PDF and check if the problem is resovled.
Regards,

Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4
Hi,
We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
of East European languages belong.
Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
We have raised a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension, for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.Hi,
Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.
