PDF Broadcasting through BEx

[Former Member]

Hi Friends

We have a requirement where the user wants the Bex report in PDF format through broadcasting. The format that we are getting currently is, we are getting the Static Filters, Dynamic Filters and Variable Used information also along with the original Column, Row based report

As per the user they donu2019t want to see these Items in the PDF report and only Rows and Columns needs to be displayed without displaying the Statis Filters, Dynamic Filter, Variables etc

Please let me know if this is possible and how to achieve this

Thanks and Regards

I spent a long time lookign into this and without serious unspecified code changes there is nothing you can do from the standard app (although I would love to proved wrong)

You have two themes for the output and you cannot add an additional theme or change the output itself

You could however think about dumping the pdf to KM and then have a progam than goes and reformats the pdf.. but I wouldnt bother

I guess we are never going to get any more fucntionality from SAP on this as broadcasting is not being developed further due to the strategic direction of using crystal broadcastin

Hi Simon.

I went to the business and they still want this functionality. I am not good at programming, so can you help me to get this done.

Hi,

We had a similar problem with printing from Bex Web.

To solve the problem I had to change the webtemplate 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT in WAD. Here I changed the "INFO_EXPORT" web item where I unchecked the "Display static filter" and "display dynamic filter". This solved the problem on my side (actually I was also able to add our company logo to please the users even further).

The webtemplate 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT is used when you hit the "print version" button in Bex web.

Hope this helps in som way.
