Adobe form printing via Webdynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We have developed a Webdynpro ABAP application to print letters for
Employee. These letters are designed using Adobe Print based forms, and
once the employee selects the print option, the Adobe Form needs to be
printed to the printer attached to the desktop.

Please note that we are not displaying the Adobe form in the browser,
instead when the print option is selected we are calling the function
modules FP_JOB_OPEN, FM name of the Form and FP_JOB_CLOSE.

The above process creates a spool request in the backend R3 and does
not print to the printer on frontend PC.

We have gone through SAP Note 616762, but not clear on the same.

Thanks,

Phanindra M

I remember having implemented something like that in the past. Can you share the print log, to help us understand why the spool doesn't get printed. I would guess you are not setting the print parameters correctly, you are using the wrong kind of printer device or your input data is not correct for the printer device you are using. If you are using Front End printing, be sure to use the host access method 'G'.
