Smartforms lines not printed

Hi,
I am using 4.6c.I have designed a smartform using templates.I have choosed the frames patterns in templates.In print preview everthing is perfect,but when i try to print this,Its showing only the texts.The lines were not printed.Its a complex format,So i used templates to do that.
Actually we dont know whether this an ABAPER problem or basis problem.
Cany anyone help me with step by step procedure what to do this.Because this is urgent.I have taken a copy in laser printer,Dot Matrix printer too.
But in no printers the lines are coming

hai,
     i also faced the same problem.
     i think basic problem..
anyway i will say how i managed,
1. just create window (width of the window should be .04)
      in output option of window -->in preview select the one sided line(right or left).
2.create a text in that window with simple dot(.) in text editor (window will not appear without any content in it so to provide some text we have provided dot(.) ).
3. place the window where u want line.

Can you try to print in a different printer, if the error persists then the problem is in the smartform, otherwise raise a note to SAP regarding this. I think that there is problem is with the page format in which u are taking the printout.
OR
Can you check if you have selected the framed border in the table border select pattern.
Hope That Helps

Excel 2013 Border Lines not printing with Windows 8

Hi. I have a problem with Excel files not printing the border lines of the cells in documents.
There are 3 laptops with Windows 8 64bit in our company now using Office 2013. Only today did they mention to me that the borders from only those Laptops are not printing. In the PrintPreview it shows them, but they dont print. From my work PC that's using
Windows 7 64bit and Office 2013 they do print.
I'fe printed the a PDF printer on thier PC's but it also prints without the borders. These files are automatically created in excel format by the software our comapany uses, every user recives he's file via email and can then print it or send it to customers.
The software does not display the title boxes correctly when using the default windows 8 theme (you cant see what you are typing, the background is black and the text aswell). To get past this we select High Contrast theme (thers no CLASSIC theme in windows
8) and then tweak the settings a bit to get it as close to classic as possible.
Now it seems like when you use high contrast as a theme Excel does not print broders, I came across this on the internet whit other people also having this problem. Thers no solution that I found that I can implement on those three laptops. I cant change
the theme back if they wont be able to read what they type, and I dont know how to get the borders to print in every excel file they get in the future without having them to go through a whole process of changing settings everytime they need to print.

Hi,
If you use Excel program to create a file, then print it, Does this issue still persist?
Also what happens if you change the borders style within Excel? for example, change the border line to thick.
Also it seems that a similar topic has been discussed here:

Smartform - text not printed bold

Hey guys, hope anyone can shed some light on this.
We have invoices with a smartstyle attached, using font Verdana.
Some texts are marked as bold in the smartforms.
Now, my problem:
When printing from any environment (DEV, PRD) using one of the printers configured in SAP, text marked as bold is not printed in bold.
When printing the same invoice using LOCL, and sending it to the exact same printer from windows, text marked as bold is printed in bold.
So I guess it's not the form, it's not the style, it's not even the printer: just the printer settings in SAP.
In many ways, it is very similar to the issue addressed in this thread:
[Printer Setting|Printer Setting] , except that when previewing the text doesn't show as bold.
My question is two-fold:
- How likely is it that this issue is related to the printer configuration (and thus, basis config)?
- If yes to the above, how do I verify this? I need something solid, since the SAP basis guys aren't very cooperative and keep pointing out that it's either the smartform or the smartstyle - without researching themselves
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think its the issue of the basis people,they need to make the settings. We had a similar problem here,we had to change the printer settings in SPAD,affter the basis peole had made the settings for us, for taking printout in hindi.
Thanks.

SmartForm Text not printing from SAP printer but prints on LOCL

I have a smartform that looks great on the screen and if i print locally ( default printer). When i print it on an SAP printer the text is not readable. It looks like barcodes or that the text is stretched about 1 inch high. The data that doesnt print is only in the table sections. if i increase the font size to 10.0 it prints but is too large for the form. Any suggestions? I could send a PDF of the document if you wish.
Dave Baxandall

Hi,
What is the printer model and what devce type is defined in the output device for the SAP printer? Perhaps the device type used doesn't support the font size. Check via SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> < Device type>.

      ls_lines type tline.
Get kdmat, not exist then get material sales text, not exists then Material
description
**get from kdmat
fill g_hlmat
if gs_gen_del-uepos = '000000'.   "BOM Main
   g_hlmat = gs_gen_del-material.
   l_hlmat = ' '.
else.
   l_hlmat = g_hlmat.
endif.
get g_kdmat, g_kdmtx
select single werks into l_werks from vbrp
     where
     vbeln = gs_vbap-vbeln and
     posnr = gs_vbap-posnr.
get sold to

       ohters = 2.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    read table lt_lines into ls_lines index 1.
       move ls_lines-tdline to g_kdmat.
Remove sapscript special characters
       replace: '<(>' in g_kdmat with ' ',
                '<)>' in g_kdmat with ' '.
       exit.
endif.

   posnr = gs_vbap-posnr.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
g_kdmat = 'No Product service !!!!!'.
endif.
I fail to understand why the entire text is not coming , when the window size is ok and text has place to flow into subsequent lines. Is it something to do with the associated type in global data or somet8ing else.
Thanks

Smartforms data not printed

Hi,
I was creating a smartform and it is printing the layout correctly..
But at the right end corner now i want to display the address from the db table.SAo i captured in the internal table and the values stored properly in inthernal table.
But the value is not shown in the print preview while we see in the right end of the form..
But wheni type something there manually it is showing properly..
The value properly coming in internal table,but it is not shown in the print preview.Cananybody help me in this issue

Hi,
If the values are getting from the table or dynamic text it wont show on print preview...you have write a program for this and pass all your data to internal table and use that internal table in the smartform.
What ever you type manually that means static text will appear in the print preview.
So try to write a print program and check the output,data will appear in the output.
Thanks,
Sree.

Horizontal lines not printing

My laptop just received a new motherboard and I just reinstalled RoboHelp. All of a sudden, when I try to print a topic, whether it is from a generated .chm file or a preview within RoboHelp, all horizontal lines are missing, regardless of size or color. This is causing a major henderence in the reviewing of print copies for editing purposes.
I have made sure it was not a color or line issue but printing from other programs and different images-they all print fine. The problem is isoloated to RH (I am using version 7).
I have attached two screenshots I took of examples of lines that are nort printing.
I have checked the printer settings-they match the settings used in all other programs.

Find smartform error - not printing from transaction

Hi
I have a little problem with a smartform .. that I don't know which is .. this because when I try the print from SMARTFORMS transaction, it works, for some data works correctly and for some other data, the print is not shown. I think there is an error in that case (functional guys told me it's mine problem) but I don't know ho w to get the error message that occurred. can anybody help me please?
I tried to search the forum before posting, because I think there should be a way for analyzing this kind of error, but probably I used wrong words, because I cannot find anything .. so sorry if the question has already been asked and answered (I hope)
thanks
gabriele

Hi Gabriele,
It is hard to give an answer which solves your problem.
In most cases as the smartform sometimes with different forms the cause is that 1 or more fields are overfilled.
Like a too long variable in a to small field.
You must try to find out in which part of the smartform the problem occurs. One of the ways to do that is to shriinken the output part by part (with (output-)conditions) until you get a printed output. Then the problem is in the lastpart you have out-conditioned.
I know it is not an easy job but for error finding iin smartforms is hard.

Form fields with multi line not printing

HI All,
I created a form on Acrobat 9 pro, some of the fields in this form have the Multiline and Scrolling text option, now when the user fills the form and the text goes on multiple lines when it needs to print the text it doesn't print everything on that box field, it only prints the lines that are shown on the screen, anybody had this issue before?

... it doesn't print everything on that box field, it only prints the lines that are shown on the screen, ...
That is the standard behavior.

Unable to print chinese characters in Smartforms use Zebra printer

Hi,all.
My printer is Zebra ZM400 300dpi,I created a new output device 'TestDevice' and use the Lzeb3 Device type.
In my smartofrms i used the Zebra command to rotated text.Now the smartforms counld not print chinese characters but '#' instead.(style font 'ANDALE_S')
Anyone could help me....
Thanks Advance.
Andy Lee.

Hello Andy,
If you use the device type LZEBU3 with font ANDALE_S, then when you print then the SAP system
send a print control for activating the ANDALE font installed on the printer, and the text should
be outputed over this font.
When you get # during print then this means that the device type or the SAP font don't support
this character(this was the original problem), when you get a "space" then this means that the
font which is used by the printer don't support this character.
I think this can have 2 causes in your case:
1. The SAP system use the print control SF000 when you use ANDALE_S, which contains
the print control ^CI17^F8 in HEX form. This should activate the ANDALE font on your printer.
(You can find this under tr. SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> LZEBU3 -> ANDALE_S)
You should check wheter this is the correct print control. You should find on the printer an option
which list you all installed fonts, and also the print control which can be used for activating it.
Compare this print control from the printer with the above print control from the SAP system.
If you see a differnce then change the print control in the SAP system.(Before you do that please
copy the device type LZEBU3 into customer namespace, don't change the original SAP device type)
2. The font installed on the printer don't support the character which you use. Contact Zebra to confirm this, and ask for a ANDALE font which supports the character.
Best regards,
Norbert
