Write Special Characters in PDF file from SAP Script

Hi there,
Need a quick help...
We are converting SAP Script to PDF using the function module CONVERT_OTF
and saving the file on presentation server using GUI_DOWNLOAD...
But in certain cases where the item text is maintained with some special
characters like @#$% u03B1 u03B2 u03B3 u03B4 ®... then, some of these characters are seen
as junk/garbage characters...
how do we handle this??
P.S. Our Forms are already using Korean Font...
Any help is highly appreciated
Kind Regards,
Tanuja

Hi,
Use the FM CONVERT_OTF to get the Binary data and down load it as PDF .
sample
*/ Convert the OTF data into PDF.
    call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
     exporting
       format                      = 'PDF'
     importing
       bin_filesize                = lv_bin_filesize
        bin_file                   = lv_xstring
      tables
        otf                        = lt_otf_data-otfdata[]
        lines                      = lt_pdf_data
     exceptions
       err_max_linewidth           = 1
       err_format                  = 2
       err_conv_not_possible       = 3
       err_bad_otf                 = 4
       others                      = 5 .
*/ Convert the Xstring data into PDF
    call method cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix
      exporting
        ip_xstring = lv_xstring
      receiving
        rt_solix   = lt_mess_att .
Then down load the table lt_mess_att with extension PDF.

Error when opening PDF files from SAP.

Hi Gurus
I have posted this question in ABAP Development section also. Please read the below text.
We are having a strange intermittent problem with Adobe Reader. When we try to open PDF files from SAP Frontend we get an error pop-up. The pop-up does not have any text. The title of the pop-up has "Adobe Reader". There is a blue question mark and an OK button.
This issue occurs few times a day in Windows Vista.
This issue does not occur in Windows XP.
Since past few weeks, we have been trying to find some error/warning/atleast some text in log files of SAP, OS, Adobe Reader, Registry entries, Event Viewer. So far, we have not found anything.
SAP is not able to help as this issue occurs intermittently and said when they tried, the issue did not occur. They made two attempts and in each attempt they tried 10 times to reproduce the issue. This issue occurs intermittently.
Environment
SAP R/3 4.7 EE SAP_Basis 620 Support Package 61
Windows Vista Enterprise
Adobe Reader 9.0 and Adobe Reader 9.1 (tried with both versions)
SAPGUI 710 Patch 12 (latest patch). It also occured in Patch 11.
Please suggest
Thank you
Pavan

Now I got to capture the screenshot, however not able to attach/upload here but it says:
'Reading Untagged Documents'
lets say i tried to open 6 page document then it said:
'This 6-page document is untagged and must be prepared for reading. While the document is being
analyzed, your assistive technology will not be able to interact with this application. '
then it asked for Reading options
then a checkbox for to confirm 'Always use the settings from the Reading Preferences (Do not show this dialog again)
then 'OK/START' and 'cancel' buttons
It seems, this is the problem with Adobe w.r.t Vista.
thanks

How to write special characters in PDF using iText

How to write special characters encoded with UTF-8 in PDF using iText.
Regards,
Pandharinath.

I don't know what your problem is but that's almost certainly the wrong question to ask about it. Java (including iText) uses only Unicode characters. (You may consider some of them to be "special" if you like but Unicode doesn't.) And when it does that, they aren't encoded in UTF-8 or any other encoding.
So can you describe your problem? That question doesn't make sense.

Open PDF file from SAP ?

Hi gurus,
Is there any FM or command that We can open a pdf file from our computer , This means that Open pdf with Acrobat reader but will be triggered in ABAP .
Thanks

Hi,
First you need to download the pdf file onto the frontend computer then the MF WS_EXECUTE will do the job:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_EXECUTE'
      EXPORTING
        document           = 'X'
        program            = path_document
      EXCEPTIONS
        frontend_error     = 1
        no_batch           = 2
        prog_not_found     = 3
        illegal_option     = 4
        gui_refuse_execute = 5
        OTHERS             = 6.
A good directory to download you file would be the SapWorkDir, I have seen in the standard that sap get this directory using WS_QUERY:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_QUERY'
      EXPORTING
        query          = 'CD'
      IMPORTING
        return         = path_for_copy
      EXCEPTIONS
        inv_query      = 1
        no_batch       = 2
        frontend_error = 3
        OTHERS         = 4.
Hope it helps

Technical issue SAP F110 related issue. getting extra characters in outgoing file from sap.

Hi Technical guru's,
SAP system creating a outgoing file through F110- t-code, this outgoing file has extra characters (DOC.NO:)
We need to remove these extra characters. Once Payment run has been carried out through F110, in SM37 in job spool it is showing like screen attached with name “file from sm37”.
But when we look in to outgoing file directory extra characters as I mentioned above is appearing below is the related screen attached with name “out gooing file”.
Gurus can anyone please suggest me where I can check about this. I have checked the program available in the job as well in the F110 transaction.But could not find any hint.
Programs which I find in SM37.
SAPF110S
SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE
RFFOSE_B
Programs which are available in F110.
RFFOAVIS
RFFOEDI1
RFFOSE_B
Does extra characters coming through functional configuration (DME configuration) or coming through SAP standard programs.
I am Technical person. I need to solve this issue guys please help me in this.
If above information is not sufficient let me know what are the other information should I provide.

I didn't get any resolution so far also I can't convert into Adobe form because this is a production issue which should be fix by making the requied setting or changes in SAP script itself we can't go for new developmet for this isuue.

INSO-filter doesn't work correct with german special characters in pdf-files

During testing the interMedia Text I watched that some words from pdf-files are not indexed. That's why I use the INSO-filter at the DOS command-line:
ctxhx xxx.pdf xxx.txt <<The xxx.pdf-file includes the phrase:
"... generell |berwiegende vffentliche Interessen im Sinne ..."
The result in the xxx.txt-file is:
"... generell |berwiegende Interessen im Sinne ..."
The word "vffentliche" is lost. Is this a bug in INSO-filter or an incorrect using?
Thanks for helping.
Michael

Actually, The inso filters do not even work for me for PDF file versions 1.2+. Is anyone else experiencing the same difficulties ? How often does Oracle update the INSO filters to keep up with vendors (Adobe/Microsoft) coming out with newer versions of their document products ?

Open Jpg, Excel, word, pdf files from SAP screen.

Hi SAP Fans,
We have built a customer screen with some fields at top and ALV grid at bottom (using Container and ABAP 00). In this ALV grid display, we show list of files uploaded into SAP using WS_UPLOAD and stored in cluster table. When user double clicks on any file, we should be able to open file in a pop-up and show its contents. If User double clicks on Excel, it should show Excel file, if user double clicks on Pdf, it should show in Acrobat reader. How is this done ? Do I have to code for each document type ?
Any help is appreciated.

Uploading PDF-file from unix to SAP internal table

Hi,
i have to write an abap that sends a pdf-file from a unix (SAP server) by mail to some people.
The mailing part is done, but for creating the attachment. I'm reading the pdf-file into an internal table (in a binary way). Then i'm using this int.table to send the mail.
The email is sent with an attachment, but i cannot open the pdf-file because of an error ( file damaged ). So before sending it by mail, i'm downloading the pdf file to my pc by using WS_DOWNLOAD with the same internal table. The download file gives the same error.
If i look at the size :
- originally pdf file 71743 bytes
- resulting pdf file 71665 bytes (281 lines x 255)
The creation of the internal table is as follows :
open dataset g_file for input in binary mode.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
do.
*    read dataset g_file MAXIMUM LENGTH 255 into wa_pdf.
    read dataset g_file into wa_pdf.
    if sy-subrc ne 0. exit. endif.
    append wa_pdf_hex to i_pdf.
enddo.
close dataset g_file.
where:
types: tt_pdf type table of soli,   "raw 255 long
data: i_pdf type tt_pdf,
         wa_pdf like line of i_pdf
Is there a better way to read in the pdf-file ? Any suggestions ?
regards,
Hans

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.

christian
