Dear Friends,

How can we find out the details of PDF like which PDF version is being used, what is the pixel resolution e.t.c in SAP. We are using ECC 6.0 EHP7. where can we find out the settings for PDF, which is internally used in SAP during Invoice output. During Invoice output in VF02 invoice will be downloaded in PDF format and sent to customer. How to check the specification of PDF format which is used by SAP.

Please suggest.

regards,

Dayanand

Hello Dayanand,

the question about the PDF version can be split up into two groups:

  • if non-ADS (Adobe Document Services) is used, then the version is always 1.3
  • if ADS is used, then the version is 1.6 (and as far as I know a different version can be customized in ADS, although I am not 100% sure on that...)

Anyway, the source code of a PDF document has to always start with the PDF version.

For example:

%PDF-1.5

This means that if you need to check a PDF's version during runtime, you can check the first row of the PDF's source code.

The other properties of a PDF file usually can not be analysed with external tools.

Chances are that if you look into the source code of the PDF files, you can see some keywords, however, results can greatly vary (which means: some keywords may appear differently, CONVERT_OTF and ADS generates the PDFs with different structures, etc.).

Best regards,

Laszlo
