Zebra printing in web dynpro/Adobe

Hello,
We have zebra label print designs in place (we dont want to design using adobe designer). Now we would like to enable subcontractors to print them online using web dynpro/Portal.
1. one way I identified is send the zebra spool as a file and save it in the local disks and print it using zebra printer.
Whats the better and efficient way to approach? How everybody is doing this?. Doesnt SAP have any solutions?.
Thanks ,
Raj.

SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe comes with ABAP backend print support for Zebra label printers.
However, as with all backend printing the required output formats are placed in the spool. To my knowledge, there is no standard SAP way to make these spool-based formats available for print in a Web Dynpro application. In addition, note that in the ABAP backend SAP doesn't print from the PDF, which for these processes has only got a preview function. Depending on the scenario, printing is done from PS, PCL or ZPL through the corresponding SAP device types.

Hello Markus,
let's say I have two systems. One - X - installed J2EE+ABAP and configured WD pdfobject WS proxy to point to second system - Y - with correctly configured ADS (inculding Redaer Rights Credential). Do I have to setup this Reader Rights Credentila also on system X ?? Do I have to setup something else on system X to work with Interactive forms in WD Java on system X ?
PS: Our ABAP calls from X to ADS on Y are working okay, but I didn't try WD ABAP as basis is too low.
Thanx, Richard.

Printing in Web Dynpro

Hi all,
I need to print a content of a TextEdit UI Element in Web Dynpro. What will be a simple way to send this text content (context attribute of type STRING) to a printer which is set in the profile for the current user?
Kind regards,
Oleksandr

Thanks a lot for your answers and proposals!
But my idea was to implement it in an easier way without connecting to Adobe Forms or SmartForms. So, I have a popup with TextEdit field and Button "Print". If I user this button, the content of the TextEdit field is sent to printer without opening a new window as an intermediate step.
The implementation like
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON...
WRITE...
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
will work in a normal report but doesn not work in Web Dynpro.
I read about a possibility to implement printing using the printing functionality of ALV grid, but I do not have a table in my case.
Probably, somebody has ideas how it can be done in a simple way?
Kind regards,
Oleksandr

Hi
Are you having any inputfields in your next view?If yes then check if you have bound the context attribute to it.
I think you haven't done that.

Web Dynpro & Adobe Forms: Context Mapping

Hi Experts,
By assigning a form to a view via templateSource the option to automatically generate context. With sample data, implemented in the view its working fine.
Now I want to use data out of the component controllers' context, but I can't map the views context nodes to the component controller nodes without deleting the context structure out of the form.
In other words; how can I connect the automatically generated context from the form with the context of the component controller?
How can I solve this issue?
An option is to read out the component controllers context into itabs and save them in the views context.......
not very nice, but my only idea right now.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

Hi again,
I've found this [documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/63a47dd9-0b01-0010-3d8e-de27242bf011?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true], chapter "Integrating a PDF in a Web Dynpro Application" (Page 192-193) and followed the print scenario.
My intention is not to create an interactive form. I just want to display a generated pdf which is provided with data out of web dynpro context.
That's what I did:
In my views' layout tab in properties list I've entered a (not existing) form name (as templateSource) to create a new form. Then double cklicked on it to create it, entered a interface name (which was not existing also) and selected a context (the context was mapped before out of the component controller). Then se80 switched to form builder. The context nodes are available so I dragged some into the form, save & activate.
The result is, the dragged fields are visible, but there are no values assigned, the corresponding fields are empty.
I checked whether the context nodes are filled --> they are....
Any idea what's going wrong?

Web dynpro + adobe form decimal field round off

hello all,
I am now developing an application which is based on the SAP WebDynpro and Adobe form, but the application has an error, if one can help me to resolve the error, I will be very thankful.
The error is as follows, for a decimal filed on the Adobe form which is binded to a deicmal attribute of Webdynpro, if I get the value of the decimal field using the programming code as "context.nodexx.getAttribute("xx")", the decimal value is rounded off (e.g., 2.4 is changed to 2.0, 2.7 is changed to 3.0).
for example:In Web Dynpro, A node name is "TestNode" which has a type of decimalattribute named "TestAttr" , in adobe form a decimal field bind to the TestAttr . when i input 2.3 in adobe form, i click the button with code:
this.wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager.reportSuccess(this.wdContext.nodeTestNode.getTestAttr()+"");
the rusult is : 2.0
if i input the value 2.5 the result will be 3.0
Thanks All !

Hi,
there is a special display pattern to check for null values:
null{pattern}
Example:
null{'please enter a value'}
But I don't know if WDJ is really sending a null value. You can combine this with alternatives using '|' to separate alternatives.

Regd PDF Printing from Web Dynpro

Hi,
We are using NW04s SP10 . I need to show the data coming from RFC as PDF in Web Dynpro. The RFC is returning String as output after SAP Script is converted to PDF . Below is the code i have written in WD for opening as PDF. When i try to open it as PDF, I am getting message in acrobat reader "<i>The file is damaged and could not be repaired</i>" . Did anyone faced the similar problem before?
//Converting the string to binary
b = wdContext.nodeOutput().nodeBinary_File().getBinary_FileElementAt(i).getBin_File().getBytes();
pdfResource=WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b,WDWebResourceType.PDF,WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"Test"+i);
pdfResource.setResourceName("test.pdf");
wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(pdfResource.getURL(),"Test"+i,false).open();
Thanks,
Vasu

Hi all,
I am able to solve myself. The problem is with the generated data. Now i am able to see the PDF but i am facing issue in showing the data in pdf which i have posted in another thread.

Web Dynpro & Adobe Interactive Forms - how to update the context node

Hi Experts,
I got a WD Component with some context nodes that are mapped to some views and are filled in this views. These context nodes are the dataSource for the Interactive Forms. These forms are embedded in a view by UIElement Interactive Forms.
My problem is, everytime when I change the structure of the context nodes (i.e. there's an additional attribute necessary), I have to design new forms to get the context nodes linked to the form. My existing forms cannot handle updated context nodes.
The change in the context node is displayed on web dynpro side, in the dataSource view in UIElement property. But in TA sfp there is the old context node structure displayed without any change (i.e. in number of attributes).
My forms' layout type is ZCI Layout the interface is based on XML.
How can I easily update the forms' context node structure without creating new forms every time?
Thanks in advance,
Tan

ok, got it.
by double clicking on templateSource in UIElement properties the interface can be updated.

However when we show the same smart form in webd ynpro as PDF, Bar code is getting displayed but when we print the form, bar code is not getting printed.
Are there some settings for this?

Problem with Table display in Adobe Form of Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi Team,
I'm trying to display a table in Adobe Print Form (not interactive). The table is bound to the context node in the Web Dynpro ABAP where the cardinality is 0:N. I get a short dump. Don't know what to do here. I'm able to display individual fields from my context successfully. Looks like something is missing when I try to display a table. Any pointers to display a data table in Adobe? Any step by step example you know of where I can find out what I did wrong? Many thanks for your time
We are on support pack SP06 on 2004S release.
DUMP INFORMATION:
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program The current ABAP program "CL_WD_ADOBE_SERVICES==========CP" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not caught in procedure "CREATE_PDF" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Hi Thomas,
We upgraded our system(2004S) to SP10 so that we can use the ADOBE form printing in Web Dynpro ABAP but could not apply note 1034425 because of the validity constraints in SNOTE. All the pre-requisite notes are already in the system apart from one note 1029721 which talks about supporting input helps. We don't want to use input helps in our system and cannot upgrade to SP11 because of problems with Business functionality.
Questions:
1) Is note 1034425 absolutely dependent on 1029721?
2) If NOT, can someone please correct the validity so that we can implement using SNOTE.
3) Would it be OK if we manually apply the changes specified in 1034425 without implementing 1029721?
4) If all of the above is not applicable, is there any other note which fixes the above mentioned short dump.
Your help in this matter will greatly help us in using the ADOBE services provided by SAP WDA.
Thanks much

Web Dynpro - transform into PDF format

Hi all,
I would need your help. Now I am participating at a Web Dynpro project and one task is to realize PDF transformation and printing of Web Dynpro forms.
That means we would place a button on the form called "Transform to PDF". If a user push this button in the browser, the page he is seeing has to be transformed into the PDF format and later printed as a normal PDF file.
What is the best way to implement this?
Thanks,
Oleksandr

There is no real alternative for the 'print screen' in WD4A, or the 'print' button (CTRL-P). But what you could do (if there are not too many screens to be printed) is this:
Create a smartform (or adobe form for that matter), and call this after the print button is pressed. Display the smartform as preview, for where it can be printed via adobe reader.
