Hi Kiran,

The report RSTXLDMC allows a TIFF graphics file to be uploaded from the file system of the R/3 GUI to a standard text in the R/3 word processor SAPscript. When uploading, the TIFF graphic is converted either into a black and white raster image (parameter type=BMON) or as a color raster image with a maximum of 256 colors (parameter type=BCOL).

The black and white raster images (BMON) can be printed using the following printer types:

PCL-5 printer

PostScript printer

Kyocera PRESCRIBE printer.

Printing TIF file is achived using UNIX not by SAP. (may be not possible using SAP)

Hi,

how did you convert to tiff? I have a SAP Script OTF and want to convert to tif. Can you help me in this matter?

Hi,

converting to tff format is already available. Unix is taking care this functionality. Try like below.

wirte this OTF data to application servser and give that file to FM ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_TABLE

DATA: lv_length TYPE sapb-length.

DATA: f_archiv_id LIKE toaar-archiv_id.

DATA: z_archiv TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF docs WITH HEADER LINE.

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_TABLE'

EXPORTING

archiv_id = f_archiv_id

document_type = 'TIF'

length = lv_length

IMPORTING

archiv_doc_id = z_global-arc_doc_id

TABLES

archivobject = z_archiv.

Printing Tiff file is not possible in SAP. we are using UNIX to print the tif file using archie ID
