SMART Forms , paragraph format.

Dear Expert,
First of all, please refer to this. [here|http://wkokwei.googlepages.com/paragraph.jpg]
I am trying to eliminate blank lines of the Text in the smart forms.
example:
&text1&
&text2&
&text3&
&text4&
Those text are variable, if it have no value, i dont want to print the empty line.
"IF - ELSE " statements doesnt work.
say if text1 is "AAA", text2 is " ", text3 is "CCC", text4 is "DDD".
It will print as:
AAA
CCC
DDD
instead of:
AAA
CCC
DDD
and i found there is a setting in the paragraph format (refer to the link above),
"No blank lines" option.
Where to change this? I have tried to look into SMARTSTYES, didnt find it.
gosh.... smartform is ******* smart..... this is making me crazy .....

Hi,
If you don't have too many texts, you can create one text element for each and print it only if your variable if filled, that is &text1& is not initial in the condition tab.
This way you'll get no blank lines and don't have to bother with styles.

Smart form Date formate

Hi All,
I am new to smartforms.I want to position the date on page top corner of the left side of the form such as day month year(Tuesday,january 01,2008).how to get this formate in smart form?
Thanks & Reagrds

Hi,
Check this it may be useful to u
Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK
To define the formatting of date fields, use the SET DATE MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent date fields to be printed using the specified format.
Syntax:
/: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'
In the date mask, you can use the following codes:
DD: day (two digits)
DDD: day name - abbreviated
DDDD: day name - written out in full
MM: month (two digits)
MMM: month name - abbreviated
MMMM: month name - written out in full
YY: year (two digits)
YYYY: year (four digits)
LD: day (formatted as for the L option)
LM: month (formatted as for the L option)
LY: year (formatted as for the L option)
All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'
&DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
&DATE& -> March 01, 1997
The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
The abbreviated and full forms of the names of the days and months are stored in the language dependent TTDTG table under the following keys:
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDD_dd: abbreviated day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_DDDD_dd: full form of day name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMM_mm: abbreviated month name
%%SAPSCRIPT_MMMM_mm: full form of month name
dd: day number 01 = Monday,..., 07 = Sunday
mm: month number 01 = January,..., 12 = December

Smart Form - Paragraph Protection

Hi,
I have a requirement in the SmartForm where the required output is to printed as follows.
itab1-line1
itab1-line1
itab2-line1
itab2-line2
itab2-line3
itab1-line2
itab1-line2
itab2-line4
itab2-line5
itab2-line6
itab1-line3
itab1-line3
itab2-line7
itab2-line8
itab2-line9
My Logic is as follows.
Loop at itab1 to wa_tab1   --> in the form
write the itab1-line1 - Header 1st Line
             itab1-line1 - Header 2nd Line
Loop at itab2 to wa_itab2   ---> in the form
write the itab2-line1 - Item 1st Line
             itab2-line2 - Item 2nd Line
Can you please suggest me how to protect the Paragraph in this Scenario?
Thanks,
Kannan.

Hi,
Try to use page protection in the Folder.
Create a Folder in the Main Area of the table and check the Page Protection Option. Include all your Line types (Row types) in this folder.
It will avoid page break and display the records in a set.

Understanding Margins in Smart Forms/Page Formats

Okay I have completed all my forms by rendering out all the data and now need to adjust the style to my liking. One issue that I am having is understanding the margins of a smartform and how they are defined? From what I have researched, the page formats are defined in T-code SPAD where the width and height of the page is set. However, I don't understand where the margins are determined.
I have placed a window that contains a table at x-position 0 with the width of the window and table the full page width (DINA4 = 210mm). In print preview, the document renders out fine with the table row stretching from end to end, but when I actually print it there is a 7mm left margin and a 10mm right margin, which cuts off the end of my table row.
So my question is, where are these margins set? Or is this because I have not/did not configure my printer settings correctly to communicate with the printer correctly? Once again I would like to reiterate that my print preview works correctly but the print output does not.

Okay from what you just said, translated to simple terms is pretty much: You cannot set the margins of the ACTUAL printout.
Here are my current settings:
Page format = LETTER
Left margin of all windows = 0.0
Window width = 21.00cm
device type = LX4039 (Lexmark Optra T616)
On the print preview The tables are left justified with no left margin, and there is a right margin that appears to be 8mm wide. This is great if it actually printed this.
When I actually print it though, I get this output:
Left margin of all windows = 7mm
Right margin of all windows = 5mm
All windows that were on the right side of my document are cut off early and the tables only have a width of about 20.7cm.
I could shrink my tables to make them fit but then they will not look centered, and I am trying to make every aspect of this form as professional as possible since our customers will see them. Can anyone fix or acknowledge that there is no setting I can alter to fix this?

Smart form page format.

Daer All,
A very good morning to all of you......
I want to know that If I have dot matrix printer. Then which page format do i need to select to print data in smartforms. As I need in urgent. Plz give me the answer.
Thanks & regards.....

Hi
We use DINA4 page format for most of the times.
check with that format and see.I think page format doesn't have much effect on the printer.
Check the print out on 2 to 3 printers and see.

Undeline text in Smart forms character/paragraph format

hi!!!
i have a problem in printing a Undelined text in Smart forms bec. when i print it, only the words is underlined and the spaces between the words dont have underline.
can anybody help me?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi Mohamed,
SmartForms and WebDynpro are two different technologies
- You can not do PrintPreview in WebDynpro.
What You could do is to store Your text using SAVE_TEXT and use text module in SmartForms,
but You can't use printer, but i.e. store PDF on the server or send PDF using mail.

You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.

Paragraph format used in Form, but not defined in Para formats of the form.

Hi friends,
I was trying to edit a form window, which has paragraph formats of the name HN HT etc being widely used .
But when i check the paragraph format defenitions for this particular form , i dont see these being defined there.

Format HT not found" ( when i remove all HT from the ediotr , it shows that HN not found).
please help me on this .
Thanks ,

Text formatting in FSCM correspondance using smart-forms

Hi Experts,
We are using FSCM correspondance functionality with smart-forms in our project. As per requirement, we need to have some text in italics and bold. We have used paragraph format/ character format in smart-form to get the same. When we trigger correspondance, print preview looks fine. But, when we receive actual mail with attachment as .PDF of the smart-form, we are not able to get characters in italics. Bold is working for us but, not with font ARIAL. Our requirement is to use ARIAL font only.
If someone has already worked on similar requirement, please share your experience with me. Or please provide some pointers to look for. Any input will be highly appreciable. Thank you in advance.
Gouri.

I'm not sure if SmartForms support the Arial font. You can look for notes on this. Helvetica is almost the same and is supported. So this is what I generally use.

hi,
smart form to pdf--
All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform
EXPORTING
output_options = p_output_options
control_parameters = p_control_parameters
IMPORTING
job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
tables
otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata
lines = t_pdf
and if u need more u can check below links also
