Couldn't able to save PDF original with redlining function

Hi Friends,

I Could able to view PDF originals in DIR thru redlining and when I try to save it is storing as "bitmap(.bmp)" file. I try with other workstation like Auto CAD also, but the same.

I defined PDF workstation in DC30 as :

File format : .pdf,.*

MIME type : application/pdf

Define workstation application -> Define workstation application in network = EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL% . This I did for all application types i.e - 1 Display , 2 Change, 3 Print

Define workstation application -> Setup office integration for doc. type, work station and appl. type combination defined Technique= LINK_SERV

Did I miss any thing.

I defined MS word & MS Excel and defined as Define workstation application -> Define workstation application in network =%SAP-OFFICE-INTEGRATION.OUTPLACE%. In this case it is working fine.

I want to understand why PDF and other workstation application couldn't able to save in same format, as it is storing in bitmap format.

Regards,

Sai Krishna

Hi Sai,

ECL viewer does not support redlining function for pdf or word/excel files,hence your issues.For supported file formats,please refer http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/PLM/EAIViewerFile+Formats

Hi Pradeep,

Thanx for the info. Even I tried with Auto CAD, I couldn't able to save to local PC / drive. It is saving in bitmap format (.bmp)

When I tried EAI viewer for PDF, I could able to do all functions except saving.

When I check SAP Library in below link, it is saying we can maintain redlining for PDF in text data.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c1/1c31a243c711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm

2D data

Vector data:

With model character (such as DXF)

With screen character (such as CGM)

With plot character (such as HPGL)

Pixel data (such as TIFF, BMP, JPG)

Text data (such as ASCII, EPS, PDF)

I asked the team before ising PDF as EAI viewer in below thread. After that I implemented.

Can I know how to go about it ?

Am assuming that you are looking at a scenario wherein the user wishes to use both Adobe Reader as well as ECL viewer selectively,in that case,i guess, this will not be supported.Could you clarify how you intend to view the PDF files?

Hi Pradeep,

I couldn't able to save Auto CAD drawings also which were in the format ".dwg", by using EAI viewer, which is standard functioanlity. I couldn't able to save to local drive / PC. It is storing in bitmap format.

Hi Sai,

Kindly checkm with IT helpdeck team for this issue. You need to activate Sap work directory to save these files on PC.

Hope this will help.

In that case,please see if SAP Notes 1257532,776423 would help you overcome your redlining issues with PDF files(assuming you are using only ECL viewer and not Adobe reader,else redlining will not be supported for your PDF files).

Hi,

We can do this in another way. After opening the file go to menu bar >> Originals >>Copy to (before that select row of original) . Choose the path & save the Document.
