Value pass to Smartform when Print/Preview

Hi,
I've a custom print program and smartform. All my selecting data codes are in Smartform. How do I let Smartform knows whether I'm doing a preview or print? What values should I pass into Smartform?
I'd like to achieve something as follows:-
IF print preview.
DO a.
ELSE.
DO b.
ENDIF.
Please share your thoughts.

Hi Brad,
Actually it is not the data selected that determines the print preview. Let me give a clearer scenario.
When user clicks Print Preview, user able to see a preview of the form. However, when user clicks Print, form is printed and some data is saved to a custom table.
Currently, both print preview and print will save the data to the custom table. So I'd like to know how to prevent data being saved into the custom table when user performs a print preview.
Thanks.

Hi!
Which printer do you use?
Check in the transaction spad which printer and printerdriver you use. Dobbleclick on the printerdriver and check which codepade is assigned.
I think it has to be one of the following codepages:
8600     Thai Codepage ISO988/2533
8604     Microsoft Windows 874 for Thai
8611     Thai Printer Codepage 1 (EPSON ESC/P2)
8616     Printer HPLJIIID (Thai)
8617     Thai Postscript printing
8634     Thai Printer codepage (THSAPWIN)
Pleas try this.

Getting a Spool Order when PRINT PREVIEW is selected

Hi!
In order to solve another problem I have, I need to find a solution to the following issue:
I need that when the user clicks on "Preview Print" at the print options of a SapScript, the system creates a spool order.
I'm getting a spool order only when the user PRINTs the form, not when the PRINT PREVIEW is selected.
There is a way to make the system to create a spool order, no matter if the user is printing or viewing the form???
Thanks in advance!
Bettina

Hi Bettina,
To achieve this before calling smartforms function module, declare below data.
data: gst_control_parameters type ssfctrlop,
        gst_output_options type ssfcompop,
        gt_job_output_info type ssfcrescl,
        gt_output_options type ssfcresop.
Now before calling the generated smartforms function module pass below parameters
gst_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
gst_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
gst_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.
Finally pass the parameter as below
control_parameters = gst_control_parameters
output_options = gst_output_options
job_output_info = gt_job_output_info
job_output_options = gt_output_options
Regards

User gets odd behavior when print previewing calendar

User calls with an odd problem.
She is using 32 bit IE 9 with our SP 2010 farm.
She goes to her department calendar. She sees events.
She presses Print Preview. No events are shown on the page.
She tries to export the data to Outlook - it tells her there is too much data.
She calls me.
I look - her default view is running into the resource throttling of the farm. So I try to create a unique view that only shows this week's events.
It works fine for me. Print preview and printing work as well.
When she looks at it in her browser, it works fine.
When she tries to print preview - no events show up on the preview page.
She tries to export from the new view - Outlook gets no events.
She is using IE9, so the IE7 comments in old threads are not relevant.
I set the web part configuration to 12 inches as one conversation suggestions. That doesn't help.
Does anyone else have any ideas of things to try?

When I look at the custom calendar within SharePoint Designer, the page has a ListView Web Part but not an XsltListViewWebPart.
I have tried several times to step through blog entries that describe editing the page, setting the view of the web part, etc. At one point whatever I tried turned the calendar view into a list view ... sigh. I created a new calendar view and made it
the default.
I have asked the user to try the print preview out today to see if it works for her after I created the new view.
The really odd thing about all of this is that at least 2 people don't have the problem with not seeing event data in the print preview.
It _almost_ sounds like some sort of machine specific issue she is having.
I wonder if I should ask the admins to repair Office 2010 on her machine to make certain the DLLs are all working properly.

Automatically prompt to save PDF when Print Preview for Purchase Order?

We recently upgraded to EP7.
I have an end user that does our PO's.
She swears up and down that she used to be able to go into any given PO, be it new or existing, and click on the print preview button. She says when she did this she was prompted to save or open the file.
She is set to PDF Preview when doing a print preview of the PO.
When we first upgraded the system, it was broken. When she tried to do this it would give you a Page Cannot Be Displayed error as in unable to find the page. We learned that there was an issue with name resolution within the system. We fixed this and now she can view the files as PDF when doing a print preview.
But she still claims it did not used to work like this that when she went to preview she would be prompted to save or view which worked great for her because she could click save, save it to her computer, and then email it to whomever she needed to send it to.
Seems clear to me that that when you do PDF Preview that an SAP browser session is created and sent to an web site (internal to SAP of course) to view the PDF. How can I tell SAP to give me the option to view or save?
For now the user is repeating the output when she needs to reprint another copy of the PO.
I should also say that we use Free PDF Creator. After setting her default printer to this, she says that now when she creates a new PO, it is working like before. So its possible that the prompt was the one from PDF Creator.
The user says she swears she could simply print preview would allow her to save local. I never saw it for myself prior to the upgrade.
Anyone seen this before or can offer any clues? Is there away to issue output at print preview?

How did you fix 'page cannot be displayed' error?
It looks like issue was at browser/pdfreader side.

FF windows goes blank white and freezes if I click a link in another application when Print Preview is open in FF (Win 7 64-bit)

Possible bug: FF dumps my session if I try to open an external link without closing print preview view. I had left the Print Preview screen open in FF after printing a web page, and I clicked a web link in another application, which would have normally opened in a new tab in FF. However, only the Print Preview window was displayed and when I clicked "Close", the FF window when all white. Back/backspace wouldn't work and I had to close FF and start a new session. I tested this a few times and it happens every time. I didn't think to test whether this happens in Safe Mode.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
hoping to hear from you all.
thank you.

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.

Text visibility only in Print Preview Mode & Should not come in Hard copy !

Hi All,
Is it possible to have a text which is visible only in Preview but should not come in Printed hard copy ?
Regards
Ajay

Hello,
In the FM OPEN_FORM of your print program you will be passing whether it's print preview or not in the Options parameter
i.e.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
EXPORTING
FORM = 'Z_SAMPLE'
OPTIONS = itcpo
Just have an if statement in the SAPScript to only print this when that value = 'X' (i.e. IF &itcpo-tdpreview& eq 'X').

Michael

Print preview vs print

Hi Experts,
I have a problem when trying to see the result of mijn sapscript or smartform via print preview.
The result of the print preview is very different from the real print (if i print the same form).
By sapscript i get the text : display text as abap list in the screen of the print preview.
Via print preview i cannot see the frames for example ..etc.
How could i solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please ensure that you are giving the same printer name for both print & View, as the device type used in that printer will decide how it is displayed. i.e. your print preview may be different if you use 2 different printers having different device types.

Print out different from print preview (for THANGSAN font)

Save Our Environment. Save Yourself.
Hi Experts!!
I have created a smartform and print program which should actually print some Thai characters and English characters too. I created a smartstyle and have some 10 paragraph formats and are all have THANGSAN font. So, I am printing all the thai and english characters in THANGSAN font only.
When print preview is seen, the output is very fine, but when being printed, the thai characters are appearing fine but the english characters' font is being changed to somehting else (courier or arial). Why is this happening so? Because of this, all the output is being merged and looking very weird.
The smartform is created in EN and is translated to all languages. All user has logged on to SAP in EN language.
Can somebody please help me out with whether the problem is with THANGSAN or the printer?
P.S. The smartform is actually similar to the standard script Z_RVINVOICE01 in which only THANGSAN is used.

Hi Sandra,
Thanx for the reply. I do not have authorization for SMARTFORM_TRACE. Though I entered by debugging, I did not understand what should be done there.
But as you said I created a spool. Can you please help me in how to check that RAW thing?
Thanks a lot.

Problem with Print Preview Urgent!

Hello BW Experts,
1.I am trying to use the Print functionality for web printing.In the print preveiew i see all the text in black and white.It is completely different from the page that is displayed in the browser.
--I tried using the same print stylesheet but it does not work.
2.In the print preview how do i change the default header line height to some other value.
3.If i select file>print preview in internet explorer it is treating the logo as a different page,so the logo is printing in seperate page followed by the text.
I appreciate all your help.
Thank you all!
Raj
