Text in e-mail or medium 7 with pdf

Hello,
I try to send documents (Orderresponse, Invoice, ...) as e-mail. So far it works fine - I customized everything like SCOT, send via Medium 5, ... and the sytem creats automaticly an e-mail with an pdf-attchment !
But now I search a solution to "edit" the e-mail befor sending. I want to add some text-lines in the e-mail, additional e-mail receivers, ...
How can I handle this ?
At saving the order, the system should "print" the document as e-mail, but open a window like sap-office, or jump in outlook, or something.
Or is there a chance to use the Medium 7 (Sap-Mail) for this. Because in Sap-Office-Mails I can write "free-text" in the message-body, can use several e-mail receivers,... but how can I atteched a Sales-Document automaticly as an pdf to an Sap-office-mail ?
Have someone an Idea ? please help an explain me how it can work !
thanks
Guido

Using an email client will allow you to insert (embed) graphics via HTML email as well as many more constructs that are not present in Verizon Webmail.
I disagree with the statement that Verizon webmail doesn't supply that construct. Here is a link to a thread where I documented how it works just fine for me:
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/embedding-photos-into-an-email/m-p/483613#M9353
However, I do agree that using an email client is a far, far superior way to manage your email. There are many email clients available, some free, some fee; I use the free Windows Live Mail, very happy with it.

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
   <Sender/>
   <Receiver/>
   <BodyContent/>
   <Subject/>
   <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.
so it may help u.

Error while sending mail with pdf attachment

Dear All,
I am sending mail to outlook Internet address, with PDF attachment, if i have the some text in the mail along with the attachment,
then the PDF attachment file is not opeining, throws file corrupted error.
If i don't have the text for mail body, and send only attachment then the PDF attachments working fine.
Please help.
regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
If you are using the th FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" to send the PDF data(As an attachment) to an internet address, try prepare an internal table with the text you want to mention in your mail. This table needs to be passed to the
'contents_txt' of this function module. You can check your mail in SOST transaction and in DOC Content section.
Ex: wa_objtxt = 'Regards'.
APPEND wa_objtxt TO t_objtxt.
I am sure that you won't get any problem if you follow the procedure mentioned above.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Change Font Size with PDF attachment via e--mail

Hi experts,
I want to send mail with PDF attachment . Now the attachment is ok but only the font size in PDF is a little small.
Is that possible to Change the font size of PDF
Below is my code:
first the data comes from an internal table, then changed to an ABAP Pool.

keep in spool c_checked           " X means keep spool
new list identification c_checked

Anyone could help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
we don´t have many options for setting the font type and size in an ABAP list. One option is that you print the output using either SmartForms or AdobeForms, where you can control font type as well as size. This one requires additional work.
Another option is to use the instruction Print-Control:
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 1 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 1 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 1 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 5.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 1 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 5'.
SKIP.
PRINT-CONTROL FONT 2 SIZE 5 LPI 6 CPI 10.
WRITE: /10   'FONT 2 size 5 LPI 6 cpi 10'.
SKIP.
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

Sending PO in mail attachment with pdf format

Hello,
We are sending PO to vendor in a pdf attachment. The configuration is in place and as soon as the PO(ME22N) is saved the pdf mail is sent to vendor external mail address.
The requirement however is to add some text to this mail body ( in addition to the existing PDF attachment ).
The NACE config is using SAPFM06P program with entry_neu form and a custom sap script.
can somebody help as where is this mail functionality added in this standard program so that I may try to customize the same for the above requirement.
All I can see is 2 FM used in this ENTRY_NEU Form. Of which I guess ME_PRINT_PO is sending the mail ( I may be wrong here ) but where ?
I will be thankful for any kind of hint to help solve this issue.

In general you will have to do the following:
1) Set NAST-NACHA = 8 (Special function)
2) Before OPEN_FORM (maybe in In enhancement spot) if NAST-NACHA = 8, then set itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' (to get OTF back from CLOSE_FORM!)
3) During CLOSE_FORM, if NAST-NACHA = '8', get OTF output from TABLES parameter OTFDATA
4) Convert this OTF output to PDF using following sample code:
data: I_PDF STRUCTURE TLINE occurs 0,
        I_OTF i_otf LIKE itcoo OCCURS 0.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
         EXPORTING
              format                = 'PDF'
              max_linewidth         = 134
         IMPORTING
              bin_filesize          = w_bytes
         TABLES
              otf                   = i_otf
              lines                 = i_pdf
         EXCEPTIONS
              err_max_linewidth     = 1
              err_format            = 2
              err_conv_not_possible = 3
              OTHERS                = 4.
5) Send email with PDF attachment using the method(s) mentioned in one of these excellent blogs:
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/07/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-46d-and-lower--api-interface
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/08/sending-e-mail-from-abap--version-610-and-higher--bcs-interface
or you can follow below procedure as well:
I suggest you make yourself very familiar with the SAP code that does this automatically. Once you understand the processing sequence SAP uses, it is much easier to add your customization and insert your enhancements. To debug it and step through the code, but a breakpoint in ENTRY_NEU, and process a PO. If you're sending your messages using a scheduled job, you'll hit the breakpoint when you process the message using RSNAST00. That's how I did it. I can tell you what I did to meet my requirements. You can change to meet your needs. It required a custom program, to use instead if ENTRY_NEU, and 3 enhancements to SAP code using the Enhancement Framework. You need to know how to use the framework. 1. configure your output type ZNE2 to to run a new program ZMRP_OUTCTRL, to run form routine ENTRY_ZNE2, to create form Z_PURCHASE_ORDER. 2. In ZMRP_OUTCTRL, call standard function modules, ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINT and ME_PRINT_PO. 3. Drill down into ME_PRINT_PO to PREPARE_FORMULAR function module. Create new enhancement, and if NAST-KSCHL = ZNE2, then lookup the recipient's email address. Pass it as parameter to ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE. 4. Still in ME_PRINT_PO, PREPARE_FORMULAR, add another enhancement to set the value of itcpo-getotf to u2018Xu2019, to enable CLOSE_FORM to capture OTF data for PDF. Only set this OTF flag when the output is being run by RSNAST00, not when a user is simply previewing the printout. Sy-ucomm will be blank when RSNAST00 is running. 5. In ME_PRINT_PO, drill down to ENDE, and add an enhancement to check for NAST-KSCHL = ZNE2, and if so, call standard SAP function modules to END_FORM, START_FORM, WRITE_FORM, and END_FORM. Next call the function CLOSE_FORM, and set table parameter to capture the OTF_DATA as a table parameter OTF_DATA. 6. If OTF_DATA is found, then: If nast-kschl = 'ZNE2'. if NOT otf_data[] is initial. gs_OTF[] = otf_data[].

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Full-Text search is not working with PDF files - SQL Server 2012 64 bit

Hi,
We are in the process of storing PDF files in SQL Server 2012 with Full-Text search capability.
I followed the steps as below and it works fine with word document but not for PDF files. I tried with PDF ifiler 11 & 9 and both are unsuccessful.
Server/DB Level Settings:
1)
Enable FileStream
2)
Install Full-Text
then restart
3)
Use [specific db]
alter
database [db name]
add
filegroup Files
contains filestream;
alter
database [db name]
add
file (
name = N'Files',
filename =
N'D:\SQL\DATA') to
filegroup [Files];
3)
Database level
Settings:
FileStream:

3a)
Add a
datafile to DB
with filestreamdata
filetype.
4)
Share D:\SQL\DATA
directory and

Hello,
Did you check the fulltext log files for more details about the errors. If the filter isn’t working, there should be errors in the error log file.
The following thread is about similar issue, please refer to:

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

Rave
