Printing PDF via Adobe livecycle from R/3 ECC to local printer

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on an Adobe Form via SFP transaction on ECC 5.0 and an Adobe Livecycle 7.1. I can create PDFs, and send them to spool through a LPDF printer defined in SPAD as a PDF1 type. This is ok to get PDF in spool but I want to send these PDF to my local windows printer through SAPLPD.

I get an error message in SAPLPD :

Job 0009Jjkn.TD1 (raw) started on printer SKDFMLDSF

(11:06:48) Error: The printer SKDFMLDSF is unknown to Windows Print Manager.

(11:06:48) The following printers are currently defined:

(11:07:18) Printer = MICROSOFT OFFICE DOCUMENT IMAGE WRITER

(11:07:18) Warning: Printer name contains spaces.

(11:07:18) Please rename printer, before using it from R/3 or UNIX!

(11:07:18) Cannot do OpenPrinter SKDFMLDSF. Text = Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.

(11:07:18) Error: BG: printfile failed, msg = 808 SAPLPD:Windows Problem, siehe SAPLPD Protokoll

Does anyone know how I can send a spool containing the generated PDFs to my local printer ???

Thanks,

Hi Nicolas,

To avoid problems with SAPLPD you can print the PDF using the control technology.

Please read the SAP note

821519 Front-end printing with control technology

for details.
