User default format in printing

Hi experts,
I have a question about the user default print format.
When I try to print out a output, the print format turn to be a format that I donu2019t want to use, I have to change the format manually everytime. Is there any method that I can set the user default print format for a specific output?
Thanks,
Nadali

The right way to change the default print format
1°) Display a printable data on the screen
2°) Click on the Print icon
3°) On the next screen, enter an Output device and click on the "Properties" button
4°) Double-click on the parameter value of the line "Format"
5°) In the field "Format" change the value of the print format and click on the "Specifications" button
6°) On the next screen click on the "Copy settings" button
That's it. Now the new value you enterred in 5°) is set as the default one for print format.
Note that following this procedure you can set or change other printing default parameters.

User default format in printing inventory list

Hi experts,
I have a question about the user default print format.
When I try to print out a output for inventory list, the print format turn to be a format that I donu2019t want to use, I have to change the format manually everytime. Is there any method that I can set the user default print format for a specific output?

The SAP form is INVENT
But you can create your own form.
You need to assign your own form to RM07IDRU in OMBU
Then you can use MI21 to print you own physical inventory document

Formatting a date according with user settings (user defaults)

Hi All,
I need to format a date I receive via JS in YYYYMMDD format according with user defaults without server side action (I know, this is not a good issue, but they want it).
My solution is to write a JS function (there are a lot of it on WWW) which accepts two strings and formats the first according to the second, something like:
userFormattedDate = formatDate('20060613','DD.MM.YYYY');
paying attention to generate 'DD.MM.YYYY' string on server side, according to user settings.
But if this isn't a weblog, where is the question? :-D
The question is: is there a JS function (in DatePicker or dateNavigator BSP) provided by standard libraries which serves similar functionality?
Does exist a JS public standard library?
Thanks.

Hi Durairaj,
Tags <% %> are for server side actions.
The question is about obtaining the same effect, but client side.
Thanks.

How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
Thanks a lot!

Hi John,
create a veriable :
data: v_date type char10.
then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
this might solve your problem.

Default Formatting in Analyzer set to all users

Hi, in Java Web Analyzer 7.0.1.8 I would like to set Tools | User Preferences | Default Formatting | Replace Missing With | Zeros to all 100 Analyzer users that are in our company. 1. Is there any way to do this automaticaly for all users with one settings? 2. Is there any way to set this setting as default? So if new Analyzer user is created to get this new value automaticaly. Thanks, Grofaty

You can do some formatting at the Database/Connection level too. Using the Administration Tools, select the database, and for each dimension you can apply some formatting. Obviously, if you have a lot of cubes with many dimensions this may take as long as changing it for the users.

Transport of User default printer (Parameters).

Hi All,
We have just upgraded our dev and qa system from 4.6C to 7.01 (ecc). Our security team imported the users and profiles from Production system (which is yet to be upgraded). All the users and aurhtorizations are there in QA sytem and regresssion testing is going on.
BUT The problem is...
User default printer details are not same as production system they are blank in QA system. But we need this this default OutputDevice also to be transported.
Is there any way to transport the default OutputDevice for each user? as as production?
Please reply.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
That the precise problem. USR01 of production is not equal to QA. I mean SPLD column of QA system is having blanks whereas in PRD it has the data.
Need to know ... how we can bring this entries from PRD TO QA. Is there anyway ...

Use the default format and partition step to format disk0 partition 1 in multiple disks sutiation

As we know,we need to disable the default format and partition step in ts to let mdt deploy os on C and leave the other partitions stay safe when there is only one disk on pc，and the way of installing operation system is logical drive letter store in a varible.
But what if there are 2 disks on pc，and for a record the disk 0 is always the OS disk,don't need to confirmed this.How can we modify the format and partition step to format only C on disk0 under this condition?then lead the mdt to do the rest deployment
by itself.
Thanks

You are pushing up against the design limits of MDT, and the more complex and/or arbitrary the disk configuration the harder it is for MDT to perform installations.
If you want to maintain the *existing* disk configuration, and just update the OS present, then the recommended course of action is to run MDT from *within* the OS (cscript.exe
\\server\deploymentshare$\scripts\litetouch.vbs), not from WinPE. When you do this, it's called a "refresh" scenario. MDT can capture the user files via USMT, and it knows which
partitions to use, because it's launched from within the OS itself.
Disabling the default Format and Partition step has other unintended consequences.

A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through

A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through (despite linked images, etc)
These are just some notes from our troubleshooting:
User was trying to print out InDesign document however during the flattening phase, the computer would stall and would not print out the document.
The document does not print out using double sided or single sided.
The first time I went out, all I did was a system restore and uninstalled mcafee security plus because we're on a university network and sometimes the firewall blocks network printing, and that worked. She tried to print again later and it went back to taking 30 minutes for a print job of about 19 pages. These print jobs used to take about 5 minutes at the most to print entirely, but they queued up immediately, versus now, it takes about 5 minutes just to get to the printer.
Further troubleshooting that I did on a separate day:
Printer was printing fine in November - problem started at some point this month (December)
Printing is fine elsewhere, including in Adobe Acrobat
I was able to print one page just fine - it had no images (tried to print the same page later, took forever)
Some of the images are very large (100MB+) photoshop files (again, they were there before and it printed fine) - these images are linked (with no link errors)
She prints to a network printer, but there's no firewall on (again, printing is fine elsewhere)
She's essentially printing with the default settings, she just centers her print, instead of the default layout.
Now even printing with the default print set (not changing any print settings at all) doesn't work. Jobs take 30 minutes. I can't figure out if it's file specific or where the problem is. Since she has no custom settings, my next option is to just do an uninstall and reinstall, but I'm worried that the problem will still be there. I was starting to think that maybe the file is just so corrupted from all the force quits that that's causing the problem, but... I'm running out of solutions.
Any help?

I have only worked doing layout for one business in my past. In that job our department would sometimes experience slowdown in printing from time to time. However, we began to see extreme slowdowns over a month period. It was finally tracked down to two things. One was something about the RAID array going bonkers. The other was some of the CAT cabling going bad. It only affected large print jobs and copying large files through the network. Even so, it was not 100% of the time. Sometimes things went along smoothly.
Point is, have your IT people been invited in to experience the issue and see if anything in the network is causing at least latency issues?
Take care, Mike

Elements default format appear as blocks instead of inline text

I am creating an EDD and I have some issues with the way FrameMaker breaks each element instead of leaving it inline. This wouldn't be a problem if I was allowed to format children instead of elements; then I could fix the problems I am having.
Short question is, is there a way to tell FrameMaker to open unformatted elements inline instead of as blocks?
For instance, I have acronym elements within the text that wrap the definition and then wrap the term. When formatting it, it must show up as text and then the acronym after it with parentheses around it. I was able to make that happen by using run-ins, but the acronym element itself is no longer a part of the para. It is broken down to its own paragraph.
Example: <para>Reference will be made to the <acronym><def>Air Force</def><term>AF</term></acronym> serial number.</para>
should look like this:
Reference will be made to the Air Force (AF) serial number.
but instead looks like this:
Reference will be made to the
Air Force (AF) serial number.
because I can't edit the EDD to have any para element with an acronym within it to format as a run-in.

If you have solved the problem, fine; but let me clarify a few things:
Example: <para>Reference will be made to the <acronym><def>Air Force</def><term>AF</term></acronym> serial number.</para>
I also have <acronym> as a text range and it does not appear inline; it is still blocked as a paragraph.
The FrameMaker EDD rules assume every element is to be formatted as a paragraph unless you tell it otherwise. Giving the acronym element text range formatting (inline) is not enough; you must also set def and term elements to be text range. This is a little bit of a guess on my part, because I have never tried putting paragraph-formatted elements inside a text-range-formatted element.
Regarding the children without parents, the parent is there in the structure view but when typing down through the page view to make sure paragraph tags were placed correctly, some don't appear.
This is still not clear; every element (except the document root element) must have a parent; othewise, the structure is invalid. You see the parent in the structure view, so the parent IS there.
Not every element has to have a paragraph tag associated with it. The typical examples are elements that serve no formatting purpose but simply contain other elements. For example, suppose you have a chapter that has several sections. Each section may have a title element and several paragraph elements. The title element and the paragraph elements are formatted as paragraphs, each with a paragraph tag (if the EDD assigns paragraph tags). The containing section element does not have a paragraph tag; it simply contains the title and paragraph elements.
NOTE that the EDD can assign formatting without assigning a paragraph tag. Maybe this is the cause of your concern. If your EDD is doing this, then some elements will not have tags, even thought the formatting is correct. {CAVEAT: My EDD assigns a default format list to the root element in a document. Except for a very few elements, all formatting is done as overrides to the default tag. In my case, each element displays the same tag, the default tag. I am not sure what happens when NO tag is assigned as the default.}}
I haven't even begun to grasp how I'm going to work out building the
LEP, TOC, LOI, LOT, and Indices yet. I know the build can be done
manually, because I've done it and have templates for that already
(although they are about ten years old).
You likely need not do these lists manually. In a structured document or book, you can create these lists either as lists of paragraph tags (as one does in unstructured documents) or as lists of elements (for example, an LOT is a list of Table elements, if Table is the name of your table element). The elements in the list need not have paragraph tags in the document; typically they do not. See the FrameMaker user manual for details.

IPhoto sends emails in Rich format even if the default format is Plain Text

Detailed Summary (wouldn't fit in the Topic Subject):
iPhoto will always send emails in Rich Text format even if Mail application is set to send all emails in Plain Text format. In other words, emails initiated from iPhoto ignore the selected Message Format setting in the Mail application.
Description:
It is a better practice to email photos in the Plain Text format instead of Rich Text format so recipients using different email clients can easily download attached pictures as regular attached files.
The workaround is to change the email format to Plain Text before sending it. This wouldn't be such a problem if you could make this a permanent setting however this is not possible. The Mail application has a specific setting for this but iPhoto simply ignores it. This is the issue I am raising here.
How to reproduce the problem:
1. Open the Mail application (Assuming you already have an email account configured)
2. Go to Preferences, Composing tab
3. Change Message Format to "Plain Text"
4. Optional step to verify that the Plain Text is now the default format: Start a new email. Click on menu Format and you'll see "Make Rich Text" available, which means the current email is in fact in Text Format. Close this email.
5. Open iPhoto
6. Select one or more photos and click on the "Email" icon on the lower right hand side
7. A details popup will open, click on "Compose Message"
8. The Mail application will open as well as a New Email window with the Subject field filled out and the selected photos in the email body
9. Click on the menu Format
Expected: Th last option should be "Make Rich Text" indicating that the current email is in Plain Text format as determined by the Mail settings (steps 1-5 above)
Actual: Last option is "Make Plain Text" which means the current email is fact in the Rich Text format which does not match the Mail application settings.
Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue? Also, is there a fix for this? It is not an acceptable solution to tell users to manually select Plain Text for every email. I am tired of asking people to resend emails that way. That is a workaround, not a solution.
Test details:
- Mail Version 4.4 (1082)
- iPhoto Version 8.1.2 (424)
- OSX Version 10.6.5

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback to report a bug.
Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue?
Need to ask Apple that one.

How does one print to a Large Format Network Printer in Adobe Reader X?

I have just installed Adobe Reader X on a machine that previously had Adobe Reader 9 (I had to format the hard drive so this is a fresh installation). When attempting to print to a large format Printer (36x24) across the network I cannot change the paper size. Despite attempting to change the paper size to a number of different configurations Adobe X will not print anything but 8.5"x11.0" (which is the default paper size on the local printer). I have tried making the network printer the default printer and that does not make any difference. Everything worked fine with Adobe Reader 9 but not X. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Also, I can print to both the local printer and the large format network printer fine through other applications.
Thanks.

Just finished testing 10.10 printing via a Windows 2008 R2 print share. I also found that when trying to add the printer using CUPS I would get an authentication error. But if I added the printer using the Windows section of the Add printer pane, then I was able to print fine.
So with you mentioning that using the Windows section of the Add printer window has never worked (which is interesting because it's always worked for me) I want to suggest another approach to adding the printer, still using the Add printer window. With this window open you can right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar. You can then drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you select this, you can set the Type menu to "Windows via spoolss" and then enter the URL as smb://servername/sharename. Select the supporting driver and click Add to complete.
Then when you select to print for the first time using this printer you will be prompted to authenticate. Enter the account details, set the save to Keychain option and OK to send the print job.
This worked fine for me and creates the same queue as using the Windows add printer setting. Curious to hear if this gets your co-worker printing again.
