Print of PDF-Originals without viewing and starting Adobe Acrobat Reader

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have searched your forum for a while but I have not found any answer of my problem. We have document types which are linked with material number. The Originals of these SAP documents could be PDF-Files. Now we have the requirement by creating an offer for our customer that we have to print besides the offer form also every document which is linked with the offer materials. So in our case we have to print pdf-files out of SAP. This was until Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7 no problem and you could use the standard way (e.g. mark relevant document in material master (tab documents) and push button "print originals"). But from version 8 on if you push button "print originals" the document is not printed but only displayed after adobe acrobat application has started and opened the file. You can imagine that if you have e.g. a offer with 200 items and after creating you want to print your documents but the documents are not printer and you get 200 popups for each document that is not a very beautiful solution and the enduser will not accept this. So if you have ideas your already solutions please inform me about it.

Kind regards,

Bernd

Hi,

Actually there is no process in SAP to convert PDF file to spool . So we need third party tool from SEAL SYSTEMS (like this different companies in the market) . Please search for XDC (external Document Convert ) Interface document in the net.

So that you understand why we need third party tool in SAP.

So now we did one solution, without buying third party tool but run only in fore ground.

In foreground i already mention how to do in my previous reply...

Thanks,

Hi ,

Same thing i have faced and i have done one type of solution that i am first downloading from SAP server to local drive by using "open data set " and that file i am downloading to local " c:\temp " folder and then delete from server then print to local printer by using cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

document = 'local drive path'

operation = 'Print'.

at this time you get only one pop up for all pdfs while printing but you no need to click print.

the delete from c: drive.

Hope this idea will help you.

thanks,

Hari

Hello,

I think you must configure (SPRO) your original type.
