Re: output request send to host spooler under SAP user id
Just in case someone else needs the same information.
There seems to be old option in SAPSprint (no idea why the printer is now using U: when more logical would be S: output type)
| S | Print Using SAP Protocol |
| U | Print Using Berkeley Protocol |
Anyway, there was such option using SAPSprint, but is no longer support by Windows: 1276591 - SAPUserAsOwner option no longer supported

Re: Print output when vf03 for a adobeform is showing symbols instead of russian language
Hello Vikram,
this issue usually happens when not an Adobe form is used but a SAPScript / SmartForm is converted to PDF.
Please check whether a converted SAPScript / SmartForm is used in this case.
If yes, and if you have a Unicode system, go to transaction SE38, run report RSTXPDF3, execute the option "List Settings", and enable parameter USE_CASCADING.
See SAP Note #1704919 - "Cascading PDF conversion for non-cascading device types" for details.
Also, this solution needs True Type fonts to be uploaded.
See (the attachment of) SAP Note #999712 - "PDF conversion for Unicode" for details.
Best regards,
Laszlo

Convert PDF forms to Smartforms
Hello colleagues
I have a number of Adobe PDF forms available. Now we need to develope a number of smartforms with the layout similar to PDF forms. Is there any way to convert the PDF forms to smartforms? The new customer requires smartforms only.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Andrey

Re: VOFM -V3 -routine 62
Hi Drashti,
bad luck.
All you can do now is to verify your settings by comparing e.g. with a Q-system or a recent copied sandbox. Sorry, I hoped to warn you.

Re: SAP Spool Conversion to PDF
Thank You Laszlo - quite helpful.
Since we are using SAPScript forms, I believe for SAPPDFPRINT we need to have Adobe forms.
We also trying using PDFUC device type and it is working up to the expectation in preliminary testing/poc environment with the "Host Spool Access Method" as "Email Receiver" and I am getting large attachments in my email.
The next worry is how I can extract just the PDFs from any email using any standard or custom SAP code... I wish there would be access method to store the output as file or something...

Re: SAP Spool Conversion to PDF
Hi,
OTF to PDF conversion for a large spooljob will take long if the documents contain images and/or truetype fonts. You do not need to do this via actual "printing" (to a printer with PDF device type). You could also try to have a background job do the conversion to PDF: run report RSTXPDFT4, enter the name of the spool request, and it will ask you if it should do the conversion via a background job. This job will generate another (binary) spool job with the PDF file which you can download (once job has completed) via RSTXPDFT5.

Alex

Can same SMARTFORM be used for A4 and Letter paper
All the posts are quite old in regards to this question so I wanted to confirm that the previous blogs are still pertinent.
I have found a lot of details so I just will summarize a little and of course, I expect you will ask me questions (Hopefully, I can answer them.) I have found that if you want to only use 1 FORM for printing a document to A4 paper and to Letter paper, you need to create the FORM within the smaller dimensions of the printable text for the manufacturers printer. The second option is to create 2 FORMs. One FORM for A4 papersize and another FORM for printing to Letter paper. Then within the ABAP code based on company code, use the appropriate FORM for the papersize that you want to print.
Can anyone help me further with this printing requirement?
Thank you!

Invoice Output(PDF Details)
Dear Friends,
How can we find out the details of PDF like which PDF version is being used, what is the pixel resolution e.t.c in SAP. We are using ECC 6.0 EHP7. where can we find out the settings for PDF, which is internally used in SAP during Invoice output. During Invoice output in VF02 invoice will be downloaded in PDF format and sent to customer. How to check the specification of PDF format which is used by SAP.
Please suggest.
regards,

Re: Barcode Printing using SAP Script
Hi Laszlo,
Thanks for ur reply. i will try with SAPWIN device type with those access methods and try to print and share the result what i get.

Re: Invoice Output(PDF Details)
Hello Dayanand,
the question about the PDF version can be split up into two groups:
- if non-ADS (Adobe Document Services) is used, then the version is always 1.3
- if ADS is used, then the version is 1.6 (and as far as I know a different version can be customized in ADS, although I am not 100% sure on that...)
Anyway, the source code of a PDF document has to always start with the PDF version.
For example:
%PDF-1.5
This means that if you need to check a PDF's version during runtime, you can check the first row of the PDF's source code.
The other properties of a PDF file usually can not be analysed with external tools.
Chances are that if you look into the source code of the PDF files, you can see some keywords, however, results can greatly vary (which means: some keywords may appear differently, CONVERT_OTF and ADS generates the PDFs with different structures, etc.).
Best regards,
Laszlo

Re: Convert PDF forms to Smartforms
Hello Andrey,
no, such a conversion does not exist.
It is possible to convert SmartForms into ADS PDFs, but the other way is unfortunately not possible.

Re: Smartforms PDF417 ZEBRA - separators printed no scape sequence considered (zlp ^FH^FD)
Hi Ruben,
I have the same issue.
When you have implemented your solution (copy and modification of class YCL_PDL_IMP_ZB_YZB1), it was for smartform or sapscript ?

Where or How I can change this label?
Steps:
1. Open Me21n
2. In the end I click in "preview"
3. I have a pdf report to print.

Re: Change pdf report in the ME21N
Hi,
It has to be done in the smart form assigned to the PO output type. Check with your technical team and maintain the required logic for the field.

Re: Change pdf report in the ME21N
Dear Alysson,
It's a technical work, can be handled via configuration of functional consultant, So please consult your Abaper in this regard. Although if you are working for the standard output, then you can add some of field on print.

Re: Convert PDF forms to Smartforms
Because Adobe Forms is considered more advanced technology, it wouldn't make any sense for SAP to provide conversion to less advanced technology. I've heard there will only be the PDF forms in S/4HANA, so maybe it's something you should mention to the customer. Usually we use Smartforms where Adobe forms are not available in standard (e.g. in Sales SAP only provides standard Smartforms, so that's what everyone is copying), not sure why would the customer insist on going back if you already have working Adobe forms...
Also if it's any consolation - there is a conversion option from SAPScript to Smartforms, but I found it completely useless because it only creates the windows and doesn't copy any text elements or logic behind them (at least the last time I checked in 2008). So even if such program existed it may have been useless too.
