Sending out a PDF as an attachment to a calling application via PI

Hi folks,
I have a Sync scenario:
SOAP<->PI<->ECC
An application makes a soap call to PI makes the same to ECC.
ECC responds with a PDF(Binary) in the reponse payload, PI will need to extract this and put it out in an attachment.
Has anyone worked on this scenario? Can you please give me your guidance and inputs?
Appreciate your help!
Hank

Hi,
this is very easy just have a look at my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
just pass the proxy reponse to soap and you're done

Sending a file (.pdf) as an attachment via e-mail

Hi,
I have a selection screen with purchase order number as "select-options" and 2 radio buttons one for downloading and opening the SAP Script output to the local file and the other raido button would convert the SAP Script output into .pdf file and send that file as an attachment via e-mail to the receipent(only one).
I'm through with the first operation. Now need to know about the e-mailing procedure and the function module(s) to be used and their import, export, etc. parameters.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajesh

Re: Sending a PDF document as an attachment

How do I send out a pdf so that others can fill it out and return it via e-mail?

I have been trying to do this for a while and am wondering if I can or if I need a different program to be able to do it (if thats the case please let me knkow which one). I tried making a distribution list and sending it to myself and when I tried to open the link it took me to a black page that said Acrobat.com on it and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong? I even downloaded the latest reader and it still didn't work.

I assume you have figured out how to create a form. You will need to add a submit button. It is best to have the data submitted that you can easily import to the form if needed, or process separately. In Designer, you would select XML submission to a mailto:<address> format. In Acrobat, you would select FDF, XFDF, or XML to a mailto:<address> format. Be aware that email submission is risky in that you need the client machine to be running MAPI, something you have no control over.

Problem to send out attachment

Hi all,
This is urgent. Any advice is appreciated. I have java class to send out attachement. The program was working fine without any issues until last Friday. Suddenly, it could not send any attachment email out. I was able to send out a simple email without attachment. I did not know what changed. I ran out of resources for troubleshooting it.
Here is my code:
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SendAttachment {
public void Send (String MailHost, String AddFrom, String AddTo, String FileAttName)
throws Exception {
String host = MailHost;
String from = AddFrom;
String to = AddTo;
String fileAttachment = FileAttName;
// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();
// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
// Get session
Session session =
Session.getInstance(props, null);
// Define message
Message message =
new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(
new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject(
"Hello JavaMail Attachment");
// create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart =
new MimeBodyPart();
//fill message
messageBodyPart.setText("Hi");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source =
new FileDataSource(fileAttachment);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileAttachment);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send( message );
my test program:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class TestJavaMail {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String myhost =args[0];
String from =args[1];
String to = args[2];
String filename = args[3];
try {
System.out.println("Start .....");
System.out.println("Preparing...");
SendAttachment app = new SendAttachment();
app.Send(myhost, from, to, filename);
System.out.println("Success!");
} catch (Exception e) {
//System.err.println(ExceptionUtil.printStackTrace(e));
System.exit(-1);
After successful compilation, here is how I ran the class:
java TestJavaMail mymaihost.com [email protected] [email protected] /tmp/test.txt
It stops just before it calls Transport.send( message );
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I am new at this. Cannot send out pdf's from my computer. They receive message that says "cannot open this file" or corrupted file. I can receive just fine. Any suggestions?

Everytime I try to send out a pdf file, on the receiving end it shows they cannot open it or it shows corrupted. I send to large companies so I know it is not on their end. I can receive them fine. Don't know if this could be an adobe issue or a Norton's issue. Any ideas I can check out?

I just downloaded Adobe XI onto my macbook air and now I cannot save or print any PDF files. Will not let me do Print-Save as PDF, and if i do Save as i get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I had NO PROBLEMS at all doing this many times until i downloaded the new version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. I am super frustrated.
Print>Save as PDF - uses Preview (part of OS X), so Adobe Reader should have no effect on that at all.
As to the "damaged file" error, simply uninstalling the Reader app won't affect it. Do the following:
Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files
Mac HD/Applications
Trash the Adobe Reader app
[user]/Library/Preferences
Trash the com.adobe.Reader.plist file
To access the [user]/Library, hold the "Option" key and click "Go" from the FInder menu.
Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Reader folder (the whole folder)
Empty the Trash.
Download the FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Quit your browser and reinstall Reader.
Launch it from the Applications folder and accept the license agreement.
You should have no problems downloading PDFs with Safari.
Unfortunately, ANY PDF that says it's damaged.... is. You'll have to trash them.

How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachments by icloud ??

How can I send a large pdf file (42MB) attachment by email in Icloud ???

That's a bit excessive. The website http://convert.neevia.com/pdfcompress/ can compress files up to 5 MB in size. You may want to print to PDF single smaller pages, or print the document and scan it one page at a time to PDF, and then use the PDF compress tools to shrink it further.

I send out about 40 text messages every week but when a person responds to me it goes to everyone else I sent message to why?

I send out about 40 text messages every week but when someone responds to me it goes to everyone else that I sent message to I never had this problem sending out group text before I got Iphone I called Verizon but they were not very helpful. How do I fix this very frustrating for my friends and me.

Tomatoe, I've had this issue with my device and understand how frustrating it is when the message that is meant for you is seen by others. YOU have the option to turn your group texting off but the person sending the message reply back to you will need to turn their group texting off so that it does not go to everyone. I will list the steps to turn your group texting off but I recommend having the person who is sending you a reply to turn their off.
1) Click Settings
2) Click Messaging
3) Slide the Bar from on/off for Group Texting
Please le me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

I work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?

i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one.

How to Sender PDF file as attachment in Payload?

Hi Experts,
     After I done some of PI scenarios, I'm stuck with one of my requirement... In requirement, "Web service" will send request to "SAP ECC 6" in order to get PO document print out in PDF file by call smartform or any form printing as usual.
     In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
     I try to search and read some of document and blog, some said I can attach file as Payload attachment, but no clear solution or guide to do so.
    Here is example blog that I found, I really useful
       /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
    Please suggest me in my case,
Thanks in advance...
Cheers,

Hi,
>>In my understand, I'm using SOAP adapter as sender and RFC adapter in receiver side, in RFC function, I will call form and generate PDF file by using normal ABAP function, but here, how can I send PDF file as response message of SYNC call from web service.
as per my blog you can attach PDF to a message only if you use abap proxy on ECC and not RFC
the code is just copy and paste from my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
so there is nothing spectacular there

With Forms Central can I set up a form to send out an automatic PDF document like a quote?

With Forms Central can I set up a form to send out an automatic PDF document like a quote? In other words when my customer fills out the form and puts their email address on the form it automatically sends them a PDF quote on a piece of merchandise that I have. If not is Form Central compatible with Web Merge?

Hi;
At this time FormsCentral does not have the ability to send the PDF in the "Email Reciept", you can set up Email Reciepts to send the form filler a reciept with the form data, but it does not attach a PDF of the form.
FormsCentral is not compatible with Web Merge.
Thanks,
Josh

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

Send smartform as pdf attachment through Email on ECC 5.0

I have been trying hard to do this, but am not able to send attachment. Below are the problems -
1. If sometimes the mail goes, the attachment is empty.
2. if i use COMMIT_WORK = 'X' in FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 , it throws a dump - ' Invalid COMMIT WORK in an update function module.'
3. If i comment COMMIT_WORK = 'X', it gets executed successfully but, in the program i get a dump 'UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CHAR' exception.
Can someone suggest, what settings are required in SAP to send smartforms as PDF attachments. Also, please suggest how can i remove the dump. If anyone can give me a working program, it will be very very helpful.

Error opening the PDF file while sending the PDF as an attachment

Hi All,
I am sending a PDF as an attachment in the mail. I am using the code pasted on 'Jul 28, 2006 8:59 AM' subject OTF Format of Purchase Order in email unreadable.

Hi Ajith !!
Please refer this link :
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/reporting/rep_spooltopdf.htm
Here a spool output is converted into PDF and then sent as an email.
I think instead of using FM to change the width, try the logic mentioned in the link.
Also instead of FM CONVERT_TO_OTF use :
1. CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF
I hope this should solve the problem.
I had referred the same program from the link and it worked absolutely fine. Also check the adobe acrobat version, i guess old version doesnt support SAP, though not very sure.
Best regards,
Prashant

Not able to send pdf file as attachment in my apple mail.

Hi, I was easily able to attach pdf files to my apple mail. infact I could just open a pdf file and then send it as attachment in the email earlier. but after downloading and upgrading to os X Mountain lion, I am neither being able to attach and send pdf files in my apple mail, nor can I send PDF file as an attachment.
Is there any issue with OS X Mountain Lion.
Issue 1. I compose Email , then click attach > Browse > select pdf file > click attach > it shows in my Email body either as an icon or as first page of the pdf document > I send it. >>> But when the receipient opens the Email, that pdf attachment is missing. In fact When I put a cc to my self and I open the Email, the attachment is mssing in the incoming E amil.
Issue 2. I open the PDF document > Click on File > send as attachment in E-Mail > on right, a menu appears where I select the File and click attach> I get a message
The SendMail doesnot know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use. Attaching a screen shot.
I never had these issues earlier with my Lion OS . but since the time I have upgraded to mountain Lion OS, I am having these issues.
Are these the Mountain Lion issues, how to fix these please.

I believe, the software team forgot to put a button for send or share as an attachment to preview.
