SmartForms and generate PDF

Hi Gurus,
How do I generate interfaces generated in SmartForms and generate PDF. I want to play each iteration of my loop on one page of PDF?

Hi,
You need to use FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF' to convert smartform to PDF.
Please refer below link for code sample.

Smartform and webform PDF

hi All,
I am a R/3 programmer and i am assigned a query of ESS which is developed in BSP and HTMLB. There is a smartform and that is not picking up the values properly so i m asked to sort that problem out. Basically they have designed the form such a way that once i go to that page and that i push the 'Print' button, the output of the form comes straight in the pdf format. Now generally there is a call 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to call the form in abap, is it the same in BSP??
also if it is so i did not see the call in my forms. So is it possible to conver the OTF straight to PDF without calling the smartform . I knw its confusing but i have tried to put it as clear as i can.
please ask me further questions if u feel the need.
thanks in advance,
Reena..

hi
good
did you debug the program properly?
did you see how the data flow from abap to bsp?
did you check wheather there is any javascript they are using as the inteface between ABAP and BSP page ?
go through this links, hope this ll give you the idea about Smartforms implementation in BSP.

IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext and generating PDFs

Hallo all, I have the following case where I have some "unclear" topics. If I have WebDynpro app with a screen/form where certain data is filled and then I want to generate pdf document out of this data what is the correct way to do that? I know there is an interface available but - what format and what kind of data expects
setData(OutputStream dataStream)
Provide the dataStream that should be contained within the PDF document.
OutputStream of what? I have my values of the parameters in WDContext and my xdp template is available. how should I map them correct? Should I go through generating xml out of the available values within WDContext, then using ejb? Isn't there clearer way since everything is available within the WebDynpro?

Hi,
I was trying to do the same thing. But there was problem while passing template path/url.
String path = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(
wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),
"CoopRepCompView_frmCoopReport.xdp");
I also tried to get the path using WDURLGenerator.getPublicResourcePath(). But IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext.execute() throws exception that com.adobe.ProcessingError: Template used in PDF render operation is invalid or
cannot be found
Can you please help me? Thank you.

Reports Builder: line width of a graphic and generated PDF

Hello,
I change the line width of a graphic but in the generated pdf the line width remains equal.
Some pics:
The graphic in Reports Builder:
!http://i25.tinypic.com/20famuu.jpg!
The xml code:
<SeriesItems>
<Series id="0" markerType="MT_BAR" borderTransparent="true" transparent="true"/>
<Series id="1" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#101df" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="2" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#101df" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="3" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#b4045f" lineWidth="1"/>
<Series id="4" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#b4045f" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="1"/>
<Series id="5" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#0" lineWidth="9"/>
<Series id="6" markerType="MT_MARKER" color="#0" lineStyle="LS_DASH" lineWidth="1"/>
</SeriesItems>
The graphic in the PDF report:
!http://i25.tinypic.com/2emq3b5.jpg!
Why in the PDF report the size is different?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english...

To procede, omit the "(nil)" argument and you should be fine for that line, or specialize the method in question.
I tried this, but I got error messages pointing to a function that uses the fontInstance pointer. The function is in the form of:
EstimateStringWidth(WideString run, IFontInstance* fontInstance)
and the error tells me that the line:
totalWidth += EstimateStringWidth(charBuff, fontInstance);
has no matching function.
Also, most of the samples in the SDK creates a IFontInstance using an InterfacePtr.
I tried this approach because solutions.pdf suggests this method to estimate text widths... I want to measure the text width of a composed line to determine the raggedness (degree of whitespace left on the end of each line) of a paragraph. But with this issues, am I better off using the GetWidth method of IWaxLine to get the width.
Now, my next question would be, can I get the estimate width of the line if I change the properties of the paragraph, ie. justification settings, without actually composing the text in the ui. I need this so that I can compute for the optimal settings to changed so that the degree of raggedness of the paragraph would be less than the original.
Thanks again!

           Now my requirement is to while printing the list the logo and other top of page details should appear
           In the PDF output but currently while am pressing the print preview button only the alv data is coming
          am already using the method
    handle_top_of_page
      FOR EVENT print_top_of_page
             OF cl_gui_alv_grid,
may be am missing something ... How to get the top of page along with the logo printed ?

Hi Surya,
After generating the grid display click on print button,

Payslip With Pe51 Add Logo And Generate Pdf File

Hi experts!!
We have the pay slip configured with PE51. It's working fine but it doesn't have logo or lines, at the moment we use pre-printed sheet when we print the payslips for the employees.
Now we need add a logo and create the output as a PDF. To achive this I have been told that I have to create a smartform with the logo.
How I should create the smartform from PE51 to add the company logo?
How I can create the PDF output?
After doing the changes, do we need customize something else to execute the correct smartform payslip from PC00_M04_CALC_SIMU?
Kind regards,
Julian.

kindly check this thread
Client's LOGO on the PAYSLIP

Embed External CF Generated PDF

I currently run CFMX and generate PDF's from our development
server running CF7.x The data, etc is on the same server as CFMX.
This works OK. However, I need to embed the resulting PDF in a page
on the CFMX site. I've tried iframe, div and embed tags, but the
url.id variable is not being passed.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance, MGrey

Hello Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
There is no way we can control the fonts in the created PDF / while creating the PDF using the class cl_document_bcs in your PDF creation logic.
You can try some other approach of creating PDF from the Smartforms OTF stream data .
Try using the follosing FM for the PDF creation and sending email:
CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL
SO_OBJECT_SEND
CONVERT_OTF_AND_MAIL_NEW (Try this but this FM still uses the class that you are using currently. But give it a try and see the results)
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Greetson

Embedding Fonts in PostScript and/or PDF

Under 10.3 the Print dialogue had a Save As File option which allowed the embedding of fonts in PostScript. Choices were All, All but Standard 13 and such. This made sure that the PostScript (and generated PDF) files would render properly on systems with a different set of fonts.
Under 10.4 this capabilty seems to be either lost of so well hidden that I have not been able to find it. Did I miss it?
How does one embed fonts in PostScript and/or PDF files? Is there a Tiger options somewhere? Is this a case of having to use a third party utility? Like the full Acrobat set or something else.

AFAIK, the system PDF creation always embeds fonts.
At least in the few tests I've done, using the Save
as PDF option in the print dialog produced PDF files
that show in Acrobat as having embedded font subsets.
Thanks. I checked with the same ressults but the problem I am having seems to be related to the Type 3 custom fonts that are in LaTEX generated files. The Type 3 fonts do not seem to survive being saved as PDF. They seem to cause some confusion in DEVONthink and I was hoping to get files that could be scanned by it.

Bookmarks not created when generating pdf

Hello
I am using 'robohelp for html' and generate pdf files as user guide from existing word format user guide.
I import than and create bookmarks for the TOC of the word user guide.
Now I generate pdf. But the generated pdf file, do not show bookmarks, I also checked in View-Navigation Panels- > but no bookmark icon is there.
I want bookmarks when I create pdf for my documentaion,

Actually my concern is that the elements, I would like to add like bookmarks in the PDF files are in some files of the book, but not all.
I feel that the problem is there.
But why i see some of elements, and not all ?
You do not have to physically use the elements in each file of the book; however, all the files in the book should use the same set of elements. My guess is that FrameMaker does not search through all the files in the book when it generates the list of available elements. It probably creates these things from the first file in the book.
Do all the files in the book use the same set of elements? If not, make sure the first file in the book uses the set that includes all the elements you want to be in the bookmarks.
In my opinion, all the files in the book should use the same set of elements. So, I suggest opening a copy of your template, select all the files in the book, and import the element definitions from the template to the files.

How can we generate PDF file by passing a query from package to RDF?

Hi Everyone,
I am beginner as SQL Developer, I am stuck in one issue , that is regarding generating PDF or Excel file according to user parameters passed.
Detail of Requirement :
I have created one package it contains 2 functions and 1 Procedure .
Also created xx_report.rdf for generating in PDF .
getQuery Function Returns Query as output.
getExcelFile function gets query as input and generate and return CLOB file as OUTPUT.
xx_Report Procedure will take input CLOB file and export it to EXCEL file and save under a DEFAULT Location.
When User Pass Excel as parameter we can generate the file , but now if User Passes the Parameter for PDF FILE then client wants to invoke RDF passing same query(getQuery) to xx_Report.RDF and generate PDF from it .
We have already Created the RDF for xx_Report
How it is possible? to invoke RDF from PL SQL Package.
(We are doing like this as in future if there are any changes in query we dont have to change in RDF or in Package )
If not then please let me know the other way where i can get the PDF or EXCEL file as output according to users choice from RDF.
( We are not using XML PUBLISHER nor 3rd party tools)
Only Oracle Reports Developer 11g 1.2.3.
Please help me in this ....its urgent.
Thanks and Regards,
Harshil .

Hello Narendra,
(Specific to SAP POS General Merchandise)
A Tlog is binary file created by selling items via SAP POS. The file must be converted into ASCII by the use of a utility called cvtlog.exe or trickled to other systems. Once the tlog is converted to ASCII it contains all the information required to feed downstream systems such as ERP, POS DMu2026.etc.
Hope that helps

JSP to Generate PDF Document

Hi,
I am developing a jsp system that needs to generate a pdf document for every page before proceding to the next on the click of a button.
What i have now is itext but itext is a time taker! i have to literally code every page and extract values from my classes.
What i would like is if there was such an api that could auto generate the jsp page into pdf since all the values will be there when the user clicks to procede to the next page.
Would really appreciate help!!
Thanks,
Dev

Try to find out more about Filters usage.
It's a kind of wrapper that get executed when a user request a resources(page for instance) before the file(specified in form action) takes control, this is used to carry out common process to a group of pages without coding each piece of code in each page,
AND when a response is send back, this same Filter get control to include or modified current response to client.
I think that in order to parse the response and generate .pdf files(if the pdf for current page does not exist) you should write the html response in xml format. or at least you should use a component like JTidy that builds an XHTML-compliant page from a non-xhtml compliant page.
In Filter implementation you should parse the response and transform it using Formatting Object Processor such as FOP or XING, or anyother
Hope this help as starting point
