Hi

Not necessary. There is simple work around. You just need to download 'PDF Converter' & you need to use 'Prnit Command' from 'System Action' inside VC. THis will open the Printer menu, select the PDF coverter & then print the Vc model.

Hi,

Yes,

Follow the steps for PDF without BI Component

1. Download PDF convertor on your machine.

2. Create one button 'Convert to PDF' in your VC model.

3. IN this button assign system command as 'Print'

4. Save & Execute the model.

After execution when you will click on this button, it will open normal print pop up window. Here you will find PDF convertor. Select this & Convert to PDF.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

You need to install it on Local Computer.

in local computer??

so this is not a solution!!!!

i cannot call or send a email to 200 portal users and oblige everybody to install this in their computer.

I need a solution server side. Not client side...

Dear SDNs,

I have the same kind of question here. I want to export the Chart designed based on the ECC RFC/BAPI to any kind of application.

If anyone is having idea please respond.

Thanks in advance,

The document you specified relies on web api which is based on the underlying BI functionality and also Bex too.

So I guess you need a BI java instance for that .
