ZPDF1 device type sending large mail pdf documents

[Former Member]

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.

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

Hello Abhishek,

We use Ariel and Cyrillic characters I assume these are the problems

But I saw the report RSTXPDF3 and we use the :

FLATE_COMPR_OFF Off Do not use flat compression

Is there some other way to decrease the pdf files ?

Tnx,

Ruzica
