WAD Printing

Hello people,
I face 2 issues while using the "EXPORT" option in WAD:
1 ) I am using the Export to PDF option in my Web report. There are two charts and two tables in my report. Now, when exported, these items items come one after the other in the PDF file.
But I want to the items to come one on each page. That is, no two items should be on the same page in the PDF file. Is this setting possible? How can I acheive this?
2 ) And if I have two items in the report side by side, when exported to PDF, they come one below the other. Can I manually make any changes in the HTML code to have them side by side in the PDF file also?
Please share your thoughts&experience and help me.....
Thanks in advance,
shameem

Hi,
1. Create a table in your template with 1 column and 8 rows. In each cosecutive cell place your Web Item, ie. Chart and the Analysis item. So, there is an empty row between each web item. This would create some gap between the web items and might print them one per page. You can also increase the size of each web item.
2. Have a table with 2 columns and 1 row. Insert the web items in the respective cells. Then convert to PDF. This might print the web items side by side in the output.
Pls try this, it might just do the trick.

Question about WAD print version configuration

Hi gurus,
We are having a problem with the WAD print version. We have created two WAD templates, one of them is for be viewed at the portal and the other one for the export to PDF.
Our template has several tables(data providers) in a horizontal line. The template for the export is exactly like this original template, but despite this, when we press the "print version" button in the portal, the PDF appears desconfigure and shows the data providers one under the other, in a vertical line.
We have tried to change the size of the data providers but we are not getting the expected result.
Could anyone give me some idea of how to proceed correctly for this situation?
Thank you in advanced.
Manuel.

Ok Mike, thank you very much! I was already guessing it would really not work in Firefox, and we would have to look for alternative solutions.
We followed your advice and we are now trying to use a Firefox plugin named IE Tab, and it looks like its going to solve our problem.
Thanks a lot for your attention.
Sincerely,

WAD print error

Hi,
I have created multiple webtemplates with BEx WAD.
A couple of them have print buttons and are able to print.
When I want to group them inside one webtemplate with tabbed pages,
I am no longer able to print to PDF.
My pdf is empty or I get the image of the company I work for (which I have also put into my webtemplate).
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Kristof Van Daele

In the standard template I don't get that error. So there the reference is correct.
But there is happening something wrong when I transfer that template to a tabbed one.
I made two webtemplates. One with an analysis item with the print button, and one with the tab pages web item.
So in a blank template I inserted a Tab Pages web item, and in this I inserted a webtemplate Item. That webtemplate item is referenced to my original webtemplate.
If you can still follow.
So I don't really know where I can see the reference inside the webtemplate item.

Kristof

WAD - printing to PDF

Hi all,
I created multiple WAD's in the 7.0 (with graphs, texts, analysis items,...)
When I execute them and right click to get the PDF-version (via print version) the pages in the PDF are split up in a bizar way...
If the analysis grid starts on the second page, it displays a part of the analysis grid, and the rest is displayed on a third page, but on the second page is still enough room... when it starts on the first page, it is displayed correctly and when another web item (for example static filters) is also displayed on the second page (before analysis item) it is also displayed correctly...
I think it has something to do with the print-template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT but don't know what exacly...
anyone an idea?
ciao!

Printing problem in Web-templates

Experts
Can you please help me out with my WAD printing issue, please?
I have some reports designed in SAP BI using WAD. Some of the reports have data tables, where as others have data tables as well as graphs in them.
When I right click the reports with graphs and data tables, and choose option "Print Version" from the context menu, (to generate a PDF) I get a standard pop-up (where I can do my print settings), but after I click OK, I donot get the pdf generated out of the report.
The funny thing is that the printing (pdfs) works OK when there are just data tables in the report. I have checked the properties of Web-items/web-templates but havnt found anything wrong with the setting.
There is no setting as such for printing/generating pdfs that I could find for web-templates.
Have you had such a problem before? Can you help please?
Thanks
M.
PS: There are some other reports which my colleagues have developed for another sub project and the printing works absolutely fine !

Hi,
Since PDF print is working for tables,it looks you have ADS installed correctly.
I would ask you to refer to note 1069368 and check the supported and unsupported PDF prints.If this does not resolve the issue then as per note 1052659,check the default trace file.This should give a vital information on what exactly the issue is.

SAP print option IFRAME

Hey,
In WD Application we have a IFRAME that renders the WAD Application.
Printing the Document:
I have used the Print provided by SAP . The preview does not render IFRAME content ( Since it is stateless element).
Can you please suggest how to print the content ? Print preview is not mandatory but Printing document is important.
Print code:
l_api_componentcontroller = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
l_appl = l_api_componentcontroller->get_application( ).
l_appl->print_page( ).

Thanks Ramakrishnappa for confirming.
Requirement :
In WDA there are multiple IFRAME each displaying different ( say for example 5 ) WAD applications. Each WAD has Native WAD Print button ( that works fine) but we want to combine all WAD outputs to a Single Document
i.e. in other words print the WD application that has 5 WAD applications as a one single document
For user Experience - Business wants a print button on WDA that calls the Browser Print command.
Approach tried - Browser Printing:
created a another iframe with Print Link, when user clicks on it it calls the BSP having Java script that calls the Browser Print command. But when we print, it only prints child iframe not the whole document.
how to get the parent document reference in javascript and print ?
or Can you please let us know any other better approaches for Browser printing the whole document ? (Sap code to call the Browser Print - if possible)

Print button on WAD template

Hi,
Presently we are in BW 3.5 version with support pack 22. We enhanced the html code based on ' How to ... Web printing with MS Excel' document. We imported the transport file which contains package and ABAP Classes.
After click on the print button on Web report, it was giving the same result area in the same page instead of giving the excel open or save options.
How to debug the enhanced html code in the WAD template? How to check the ABAP class('ZCL_RSR_XLS_HELP_WINDOW_PRINT') which i used in the
code?
Or is there any way to print the result area of Web report?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Which way you printing the page ? Via File->Print in internet explorer or via button in WAD with command EXPORT to PDF and print from PDF ?
If you using EXPORT to PDF you should add your new webitem in DataBinding web items in EXPORT command properties.
Goto properties of this button "print" -> Commands-> in data binding add your new webitem.

Pdf print out of WAD

Hi Experts -
I created a customized WAD by copying the 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN standard template of SAP.
I have just added a logo on the top of it by using a container.
When I print it out using print version I am not able to see the logo ?
Also the output of pdf is a not as expected - first its showing me Ststic filters then dynamic filters......
How Can i edit the pdf out so that i can see the same output in pdf what i am seeing in portal.
Thanks

Hello,
The only way to export logos to PDF, as stated in note 1069368, is to have those in the Mime repository and use an export template with the layout you want. This is the solution here.
Well, the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) is not supported on export.
However, you can edit the export template.
Create a copy of 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT, (I suggest the technical name ZANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT) and edit the copy. You can edit as you want.
However, to the copy works, you have to create a copy of 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN ( I suggest ZANALYSIS_PATTERN) and, on this copy, assign the ZANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT to the default export template.
Go to transaction RSCUSTV27 ans assign the ZANALYSIS_PATTERN on "Ad Hoc Analysis" field.
I hope you find this explanation useful.
Best regards,
Edward John
