ZPDF1 device type sending large mail pdf documents

Dear all,
We are using SAP version ECC 6.0 on HP-UX 11.23 with Oracle 10.2.0.2
We got complain from our Exchange admin that the SAP users generate always big attached pdf files in the mails.
With the ZPDF1 device type and host spool access method M:E-Mail to Receiver/Owner users are sending there purchase orders and ...
Can I change some sething to decrease the pdf files that are sending via this method?
Thanks in advance.
Ruzica

Dear Ruzica,
Did you checked the following SAP Notes:
322998 - PDF conversion: Cyrillic support
163266 - PDF conversion: character set for softfonts
As stated in the Note kindly check the following:
Use of soft fonts in PDF files:
At the moment, the only known solution for this problem is the use of
ISO 8859-5 soft fonts, that is font definitions which are imported into
the R/3 system with report RSTXPDF2 and which contain Cyrillic letters
as well as all other characters contained in the ISO 8859-5 font. Then,
these soft fonts are inserted in the PDF file by the PDF converter
during the conversion of a SAPscript document which uses character set
ISO 8859-5.
Caution: This way the generated PDF files become significantly larger,
since for each used font (for example COURCYR normal and HELVCYR bold) a
complete font definition must be included ("embedded font").
I would suggest you to check the above mentioned SAP Notes and its referenced Notes in detail.
Best Regards,
Abhishek

Core device to send a mail

Hi Folks,
Can I make my core device to send a mail when devices under it goes down for any reason

"Everybody is genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is a stupid."

Hello
Thanveer,
thanks for the clarification, AsyncOS does not create email alerts when a interface is going down. That's what you want to check SNMP for, which provides traps send to a destination specified that hosts a monitoring software. You then coukd configure that software to send an alert whenever an interface, or or other hardware, fails.
Hope that helps,

You need a special device/printer for ADS. Try doing some research on that error.

Send e-mail Billing document as PDF Attachment while saving from VF01/02

Hi all,
I have written the code for sending email with PDF attachment. Presently this code is included in the Print program for the smartform and an email is sent when an output is issued manually from VF02/03 where as the requirement is to send email whenever the document is saved.
We need to trigger this while saving the Output type say, VF01 GOTO -> HEADER -> OUTPUT (select the output type) -> SAVE - should send an email with PDF attachment.
need ur help on this.
thanks,
Subba.

Hello,
Just like you have defined an ouput type for smartforms ,you can define new output type with external email option as medium which will first generate a PDF from invoice data & then send it as email .
I am not sure but you can also try this ::::::
If you have custom-developed smartforms program,then you can add email code at the end of smartform execution by generating PDF, in the same output type instead of creating new.
Thanks.

Mailing PDF documents

I have large photo/text documents that were created on Pages, saved to PDF and sent by e-mail to another Mac that has PDF but not Pages. The files could not be printed. Placed in Word the configuration changes. Any ideas how to mail these?

Thanks, Ernie for your help on this. However I couldn't get your method to work. I did find it by going to File>Get Info> and then clicking the box to Show/Hide extensions. I haven't tried a test, but am confident that now I know when there are extensions, I can do something about them. About the large files: I didn't realize that large files can't be mailed and that there was a limit to what can be sent. That solves some of my questions and problems right there.
How do people send photo files then?

Problem with sending and archiving pdf document

Hello experts,
I have created the following SAP PI scenario:
First a pdf document will come from our partner to a specified directory. The ftp adapter sender get this file and also set the filename in the adapter specific messages. Then a udf mapping starts to read the filename of the pdf document, because the filename includes a ordernr for a sales order in sap. So the filename will be mapped to an easy rfc structur, afterwards the RFC Adapter will be called. After this I have to archive and delete the pdf document in the origin directory. But this will not work. I tried following steps.
After calling the rfc adapter another receiver determination will be called. That means a ftp adapter receiver is called that gets the filename and copies the pdf document to another directory. This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Furthermore the archive function of the ftp adapter sender does not work. Everything is correct set, but the pdf document will not copy to the right folder. Before I create a Java adapter module for the file adapter sender, that copies and deletes the file in the origin folder, another solution would be better.
Kind regards,
Erkan

Ideally the processing mode Archive should work for your case.
This works, but if I try to open the pdf document then it does not work, because the pdf document includes the structure of the rfc function module, filled with the filename param.
Why are you using the RFC structure for the other receiver in receiver determination. Use some dummy name in the Interface name and interface mapping and still the scenario will work. In the receiver channel, use the File type as binary.

Prateek

Send word or pdf document as HTML email

Hello all,
we have word documents (on a local file) that we want to send via SAP as HTML email, i.e. we need the content of the word document in the email body. The documents also contain images. With the class cl_bcs I can send mails including attachments and also pure HTML but I don't know how to convert the word or pdf document into HTML and how to process it to get the images in the correct way. Is there perhaps a more direct way to achieve the goal to mail the word documents? Is there anybody who can help?
Thank you very much and best regards
Frank

First, as you guessed, most (all?) mail clients don't display "complex" documents (doc, xls, pdf, etc.) inside a mail, they are always provided as attachments. Only simple documents like images can be directly displayed.
SAP's job is not to convert from a format to another, especially .DOC and .PDF formats, which are rather complex.
You'd better look at specialized third-party softwares. Note that SAP has a connection tool called BC-XDC (eXternal Document Converter) which is used to connect these third-party softwares to SAP. You may look at the certified softwares using this connection tool.
Notes: if the .DOC and .PDF documents are generated by one of your programs, prefer to modify them to generate the documents in another format (HTML) instead of converting them. I can't say much as I don't know your exact scenario.
There is also SO_RTF_TO_HTM (and CONVERT_TEXT maybe) function module, but I wouldn't expect much of it.

Importing large margined PDF documents into LiveCycle

I have a PDF document with very large margins (height approx A4 x1; width approx A4 x5). When I go to import this PDF into LiveCycle to start making an eForm, only part of the PDF is displayed in the Design View tab. The remainder of the document is available for viewing in the Preview PDF tab. Can you tell me how I can set the margins in the Design View tab so I can continue completing the form?
Here are some screenshots of what I mean...

Can't send large mails (Anything over 1.5meg)

I use mail.app (4.4) with a hosted exchange server (i use SHERWEB) but each time i try to send any mail over 1.5meg i get a window popping up saying not responding to server try another or try later.
Is this a mail.app bug or my hosted exchange?

Hi Guys,
This is an issue with the exchange server. It's related to the Web Services of exchange and the mail server ignores the default attachment limit and uses one elsewhere in the system. I believe the latest patches from MS should correct it or else have a look at the following link. The issue occurs with Mail.app, Entourage 2008 (WS Edition) and Outlook 2011 (basically any app that uses the new MS Web Services to connect to the Exchange server rather than the older WebDAV method.

PO Sending via mail

Dear All,
Need to send PO as PDF document via mail to the vendor, kindly send the step by step procedure with T. Code.
Rgds
Srinivasan

Follow this
Basically there are two mail types: Internet mail (external mail) and SAPOffice mail.
Mail is sent via the output determination in both cases.
If you use the external mail, the message for the purchasing document is converted into a corresponding text file which is sent to the vendor via the Internet.
SAPOffice mail is sent only within the R/3 System and has mainly the function of providing information.
In particular, it is not possible to attach a message (form) for a purchasing document to a SAPOffice mail.
When using external mail, the following basic settings are required:
1. You must maintain an e-mail address in the address in the vendor master.
2. The same applies to your own user master. You also have to specify an e-mail address there in order to identify the sender.
o Note that it is not possible to change the e-mail address of the vendor
o You can use a temporary email address in Transaction ME21N.
3. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
You can find the definition of the communication strategy in the Customizing via the following path: (SPRO -> IMG -> SAP Web Application Server -> Basic Services -> Message Control -> Define
Communication Strategy). As a default, communication strategy CS01 is delivered. This already contains the necessary entry for the external communication. Bear in mind that without a suitable communication strategy it is not possible to communicate with a partner via Medium 5 (external sending).
4. Use the standard SAP environment (program 'SAPFM06P', FORM routine 'ENTRY_NEU' and form 'MEDRUCK') as the processing routines.
5. In the condition records for the output type (for example,Transaction MN04), use medium '5' (External send).
6. You can use Transaction SCOT to trigger the output manually. The prerequisite for a correct sending is that the node is set correctly. This is not described here, but it must have already been
carried out.
7. To be able to display, for example, the e-mail in Outlook, enter PDF as the format in the node.
To use the SAPOffice mail, the following basic settings are required:
1. For the output type for default values, a communication strategy needs to be maintained in the Customizing that supports the e-mail.
You can branch to the maintenance of the communication strategy via the input help.
2. Use the SAP standard environment (program "RSNASTSO" and FORM routine "SAPOFFICE_AUFRUF") as the processing routines.
3. In the condition records for the output type (for example,Transaction MN04), use medium '7' (SAPOffice) and also partner role 'MP' (mail partner).
Additional settings:
Problem:
How can you both change the mail title and text for the sending of a mail message and maintain a replacement parameter, for example a document number.
Solution:
1. The replacement routine is maintained in the Customizing for the output type in the detail screen on the 'General data' tab under 'Replacement of text symbols' (for Release < 4.6B, this can be found on the 'Mail' tab page).
Program: SAPMM06E
FORM routine: TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE
2. Maintain mail title and text.
o If you want to send a purchase order within an R/3 system using the SAP office, you can maintain both the mail title ('Re:') and also a mail text in the Customizing for the output type To do this, select the directory mail title and text for the corresponding message type.
o If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for example, to a vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the condition record for the output type (for example in Transaction MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab page. Enter the mail title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot maintain an additional mail text.
o Note that the values from the mail title are used to create the description for the attachment.
3. The replacement parameters must be enclosed by &. Example: You want to enter the title 'PO number '. For this you have to enter the following in the Document Title field (Message Customizing ->
sub-option: Mail title and texts) 'PO number &EKKO-EBELN&'

IBooks on iPad Sending 1 Page PDF as Part of Message Body in Email

iBooks is sending 1 page PDF documents inline as photos in email messages and multi page PDF documents as attachments. How do you get iBooks to send 1 page PDF documents as attachments in an email instead of as a photo inline in the message body?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone the is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Which device type support Unicode printing ?

Hi all,
Do you know which cascading font device types support Customer-defined true type fonts ?
I use HP LaserJet printer. I've imported ZSWINCF device type in to SAP system and installed some true type fonts required for my report. It's able to print Unicode text in ABAP List but unable in SAPScript/Smartform printing.
I also try to use ZHPUTF8 or HPUTF8, and install these fonts. But i've problem in printing out.
Do you know how to resolve this problem ?
Thanks,
Best regards,

Hi
see this OSS notes may be useful
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

OSS Note: 776507
Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001

UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000 0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Specifying pdf document's name in browser - content-disposition problem

Hello ,
I want to open a PDF document in browser, which needs to have a specified filename when user tries to save it.
My web app sends an "application/pdf" document back to the browser.
I use the Content-Disposition HTTP header to instruct the browser to open the document inline, i.e. using the appropriate plugin, which is Adobe PDF in this case. When the user clicks Save As..., the document filename needs to be the one specified by the same HTTP header. Here is the code:
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
String contentDisposition = "inline; filename=\"filename.pdf\"";
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
response.setHeader ("Content-Length",new Long(file.length()).toString());Unfortunately this does not work for me. Document opens fine, but I can't get it to have the name I specified. The plugin uses the default name, which is the full URL of the document. I tried several combinations of HTTP headers, but neither worked. I tried putting an additional GET request parameter at the end of the URL, like ...&filename=filename.pdf , but that didn't work either.
I tried Adobe 7.0 and 8.1.2.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for your answer.
Needless to say I tried opening the document in IE, FF and Chrome, and neither worked.
I had a look at the code at your web site, and saw that you were serving files for direct download: Content-Dispositoin:attachment... .
This works fine for me too, and the filename is recognized correctly in that case. The problem is, I want to display the PDF inline...
My server is not configured for URL rewriting, and I would be probably quite some problem to make this app work with it, so the /filename.pdf is not an option for me.

Access to pdf document in internet explorer

Hi folks
My task is to send specific opened pdf document in adobe reader (as plugin in IE) to some web service.
I dont want to make plugin or adobe javascript, cos it would stay in adobe reader forever and i need that
function only in one moment.
Or maybe i want plugin or adobe javascript, but im very new in this stuff.
Workflow is that customer clicks to download pdf document, it opens in IE, he signs the pdf (i have solve this
already) and then click to my special button or do something and it sends the document back (for exapmple to webservice)
My question is, is that possible at all?
If yes, how?
I c only something like thru "classic" javascript i get acces to pdf document via adobe reader API and then also via javascript send the opened document. But i have no idea how
All help is very welcome, thx a lot.
PS: this forum doesnt work in opera.

Hi
I didnt say abything about a email.
All i need is somehow get document from opened adobe reader in internet explorer (or other browsers) and send it somewhere.
I realize the javascript is bad way, i have access to pdf object, but i cannost send it from javascript. Javascript cant serialize the pdf object and send him to web service (no this is not email). So maybe the activex is better way, but i didnt find in adobe reader API something like getDocument() method i can call from web page.
Very thx for answer.
