Smartform output not matching print preview

I have a problem where the print preview looks perfect but the actual output of the form is incorrect.  The fonts are different and the alignment is off.  I seem to recall someone telling me before to retrieve printer settings or something before calling the smartform processing FM.  Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hi,
If fonts is not installed then it should be installed.
One more thing are u checking the print preview in same client or in different client (means dev, quality etc.).
Try this also:
In smartstyles Tcode make the font sizes small & then check the print preview & Print out. e.g. Suppose you have given font size 10 then test it with font size 8 or 7.

  • Printer output does not match Print Preview

    I'm just starting out with this and did a layout of some photos I took with captions. Using File>Print and then clicking "Preview in the resulting dialogue box shows that everything fits on the sheet of paper. HOWEVER, after printing the page, the bottom is cut off. What is the problem? The printer is an HP DeskJet 5150. As a work-around I've started doing the layouts as if the paper is 8" x 10".
    Also, what does the "Soft Proof" check box do in the Print Preview window?

    OK romad, the memory problem isn't the Macs but it could be the printers. I have seen this many years ago.
    You could also create a test page with one long line from top to bottom and print it. Does the problem still show?
    Does it happen if you print a full page photo from i.e. iPhoto directly.
    Do you still have AW on this machine? can you paste the content of your problem page into an AW page and print? What is the result?
    Somehow we need to do tests to pin down from where the problem is emanating from.
    I agree that AW does have a lot that isn't implemented in iWorks, but there are other features that are much better in Pages.

  • How do we view smartform output without clicking print preview

    how can we view form without using print preview
    Thanks in advance

    Use 'TEST' button (F8) that is placed on the toolbar - have to use it few times to get to the preview.
    You can fill there your data fields (or not) and see preview of the smartform
    (use 'Print preview' when it will ask about the printer)
    It's also helpful for debugging problems (f.e. table width isn't matching window width) when the form is not printing in it's main program - it writes You the problem.

  • Color does not match printing in preview

    Printing a photo directly from iPhoto ('08) does not match the color on screen. Using an Epson 2200.
    The colors are dark and saturated. Maybe the problem is setting color management in the advanced dialog box- I have it set to: "No Color Adjustment" as per Epson.
    Is there a setting that is recommended? I can't find any help in help.
    I'm well aware of color management problems printing via Photoshop with the Epson printer.

    Hi McJPP,
    You're using one of the built in color setups for Photoshop, so no big deal there. Since you have your monitor properly calibrated and profiled, ColorSync shouldn't be having an issue handling the difference between the image's color space and your monitor's. Questions though. Is the image RGB? Does it have an embedded profile? If so, is it Adobe RGB 1998? I'm assuming that it does since that's your working RGB color space in Photoshop.
    The grab on the left is the preview copy using:
    By preview, do you mean the Preview button on the print dialogue box at the bottom left next the the PDF button? I'm guessing yes since I can produce the same kind of result. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try.
    I took a simple grayscale image and made it RGB. I then did the same thing you did. Left image is Photoshop handling color for an Epson Stylus Pro 4000, using a profile I made for a DuPont paper. Then clicking the Preview button when the print dialogue comes up. Right image is letting the printer handle color and clicking Preview. The result is below.
    Believe it or not, there's nothing wrong. Photoshop (more accurately, ColorSync) is showing you what it had to do to the pixel color values to adjust for how the inks perform on the chosen paper. The end result, with proper profiles, is that the printed image looks like what you see in Photoshop regardless of how it shows in Preview mode. The Epson driver doesn't make this visible cue even though you've turned ColorSync on there, so it simply shows you the same thing you see in Photoshop, even though it's making the same adjustment to the pixel color values.
    You should get essentially the same final output no matter which way you print the image.

  • Smartforms output not proper

    Hi,
        I have created a smartform.It was working fine in the print preview and when i took the printout also its coming properly.But after this i added a logo in it and it was very exactly coming in smartform print preview.But when i give print it is not coming.
    In SPAD the device type was HPDJ660..But its printing all other values properly,but wheni try to print after giving logo means its not coming.
    In SPAD when i give the device type as SWIN the logo is printed but the alighnment of the form was totally damaged..
    So ther are number of device types,I dont know which to selct and check it out.Can any body give the solution for this issue and help me

    Hi Mahesh,
    In SPAD please try:
    Leave device name blank and click on "Display". A list of output devices will appear. Choose the one you picked before (SWIN), click on it and a new screen will appear. This screen will have a "Format" button on the top, click on it. You will then see a list of page formats that the printer setting is capable of printing. Check the page format you used for the form and see if it is in the list. Usually, when it is not in the list, the output alignments are messed up.

  • Download smartform as PDF, suppress Print/Preview dialog

    Hi Experts,
    Facing some issues in downloading PDF converted from Smartform.
    In the program I am trying directly download a smartform converted into PDF format and save it in local system.
    When ever I am trying to execute the program it shows up the Print/Preview dialog before showing the Save As dialog.
    I have passed control_parameters-getotf = 'X' to the smartform runtime FM, which ideally should have suppressed the Print/Preview dialog and return the otfdata.
    Here the entire code is...

  • SM37 spool output not matched with the mail received

    Hi All
    I have a background job which run on daily basis. After the job is finished successfully the spool is sent to client in the form of the html page.
    The mail received by client and the actual spool in R3 are not matching.
    Some of the text is missing at the end of the lines. Say like a row having 300 characters in the actual spool R3, 280 characters are only showing in the received mail of client, last 20 characters are missing.
    How to check the settings of Page width in SAP R3.
    Should i check the settings in the Mail configuration.
    Please advise
    Regards

    Hi
    Thank you for all the replies.
    The issue is related to the width of the output missing.
    The spool output is fine. Once this output is generated this wil be send to the spool recipient.
    spool output is different in the spool recipient and actual spool output produced in SM37. i.e  The width of the spool received in the spool receipient is missed. length is ok but widh is missing.
    Should i check in mail settings. Please help me

  • Can not get print preview of Adobe forms

  • GL Balance Report output not Matching with Material Stock

    Hi,
    Can we Match Reports MB5B (Stock on Posting Date)  and S_ALR_87012301 (G/L Account Balance)???
    Till March these reports are matching but from April 11, data not matching..
    In tcode MB5B, we are looking Valuated Stock of Materials and in tcode s_alr_87012301 showing balances, which were matching earlier..
    Plz guide...

    Dear:
              Execute the stock GL in FS04 to track the history of changes made to it. It is quite possible that post automatically tick was changed and some direct posting were made against this GL which ultimately caused discrepancies. If track is showing post automatic tick changed then it means some direct posting were made to it, Note the period in which it was changed and analyze the posting against this GL in that time span.

  • Preview does not match printing

    When I print a pages document it often leaves out graphics or text boxes. I check to make sure photo is in front and even delete photo and re position it. The image shows in preview but does not print. I sent the document as a PDF to a PC and the image printed correctly.

  • Colors on monitor do not match printer colors

    Ok, guys, I'm desperate.  Have worked about 24 hours now trying to get what I see on my screen to be what comes out of the printer.
    Using MBP 10.9.4, Epson 2200 and 490, in Seashore, Preview, ColorSync Utility, Splashup Light, etc, etc.  Unfortunately, Photoshop is too expensive so reduced to these other apps.  Have tinkered, calibrated monitor, read everything I can find online on the matter and nothing I do helps.  The Image is dull and the colors are off.  It's as tho a wash of something like tan was applied to the image.
    this is what it looks like on my screen.
    Below is how it's looking coming out of the various printers.
    This has been going on forever but I didn't have the patience to figure out.  Now it's necessary and a deadline is coming.
    HELP.
    Here you go with the paper version:
    Please excuse the less than desirable lighting conditions but I think you get the point.
    Thanks.

    For a bunch of color detail info, see my responses in this topic.
    In a nutshell:
    1) Really, truly profile your monitor. That means a hardware/software solution like the X-Rite i1 Display Pro. Eyeballing it in the System Preferences is literally a waste of time.
    2) Make sure you are using the output profile that matches the paper and printer you are using.
    Be aware that even with these in place, paper output will never look exactly like the monitor. Especially on plain paper.

  • Smartform output not displaying, no formatting affected on output and shows formatting Error.

    Hi Guys,
    I am new to SAP and working in Smartforms now. I am facing an issue that the output screen is not showing any formatting done during the design phase. Not even font changes are displaying, instead only showing the default Courier font. No Bold as well as italics too. And borders also showing some problems.
    It was working properly till the last day and suddenly it gone faulty. Hence I cannot run the form and when  I try to run it, it displays nothing. I have been designing a Tax Invoice. When I tried to execute the smartform from the form itself, it was showing Formatting Error.
    What is the solution for this? I am using ECC 6. Please share your views.

    Hi Sanjeev,
    I've not made any changes to the formatting (Fonts and Borders) and I cross checked it many times.
    Everything is fine and Times used everywhere as Font. It is showing the same in the design too but in the output, it comes as Courier !! (May be default settings in case there is some exceptions, I don't know)
    I tried another report, pick list form, which too showing the same things. As we have developed only two reports, we cannot check more. The standard SAP forms are displaying as is, but the problem is with the newly designed ones.(Standard forms too are displaying in Courier font)
    I think it might be any problem related to the output graphical properties of the smart forms...!!! I am not sure but I need expert advice from you if there is any such scenarios...
