Hello,

I have a funny problem. Well, this is the first Adobe Print form development in my current project.

We have configured ADS and am able to create my Adobe form. I tried testing my form directly and it shows me my form in PRINT PREVIEW properly.

I tried creating the PRINT PROGRAM as shown below. For my suprise, I dont find the PRINT PREVIEW window itself. Niether the OUTPUT.Can anyone help me in correcting my mistake. I hope someone must have had this kind of similar problem before.

<i>* Get the Generated function module name

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

i_name = 'Z_TEST_APPLICATION_FORM'

IMPORTING

e_funcname = l_funcname

  • E_INTERFACE_TYPE =

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

WRITE : 'Exit at FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

  • Set the form processing attributes

l_outputparams-device = 'PRINTER'. "Set the output Device to PRINTER

l_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'. "Launch Print Preview

l_outputparams-preview = 'X'.

l_outputparams-immexit = 'X'.

l_outputparams-NODIALOG = ' '.

*l_outputparams-dest = 'LOCA'.

  • Start the form processing

CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'

CHANGING

ie_outputparams = l_outputparams

EXCEPTIONS

CANCEL = 1

USAGE_ERROR = 2

SYSTEM_ERROR = 3

INTERNAL_ERROR = 4

OTHERS = 5

Hey Raja,

Remove -

<i>l_outputparams-device = 'PRINTER'. "Set the output Device to PRINTER

l_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'. "Launch Print Preview

l_outputparams-preview = 'X'.

l_outputparams-immexit = 'X'.

l_outputparams-NODIALOG = ' '.

*l_outputparams-dest = 'LOCA'.</i>

Especially the getpdf one.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and regards,

Anto.

Hi Antony,

Thanks for the quick response.

It solved my problem. Out of anxiety, I wanted to know what this GETPDF attribute does.

Thanks Antony once again.

Hi Raj,

Its really nice to hear from you. getPDf is used for getting the pdf document to process in the code.

Say, i require to attach the PDF and send the form through mail. In that case, I flag this parameter and get the values in the result import parameter of the FM.

Hope this will give you some idea. You may refer Jeff Gebo's webinar or Vani krishnamoorthy's papers available in SDN, which illustrates, how you can attach a PDF and ssend the mail..

Hey, btw, i am posting a new thread regarding drop downs. Please reply to it [:D]

Regards,

Anto.

Hi Antony,

To add to the above question, Well, we had a requirement where the PDF should automatically get displayed without the option of INTERMEDIATE PRINT DIALOG BOX(With Print, Print Preview box and other options). So is there any parameter in this OUTPUTPARAMS which does this MAGIC.

        • sorry. will update it

Hi Raj,

There seems to be some problem in my ADS. Your requirement is very much possible.

try out -

w_sfpoutputparams-device = 'PRINTER'.

w_sfpoutputparams-nodialog = 'X'.

w_sfpoutputparams-preview = 'X'.

w_sfpoutputparams-dest = '<output device>'.

Once its up and ifyou have issues, i will try it out from my end.
