Configuration hint for PDF Action in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4

Former Member — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:04:33 GMT

A few hints how to configure the PDF Actions in xMII 12.0.3 and 12.0.4 because there are different confusing information around.

There is an older note [1022113 |http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1022113]for 12.0 - but don't make the mistake to use it. The attached .jar file makes problem in 12.0.3 / 12.0.4 and the information to use the current release of iText is also wrong.

There is a newer note [1109054|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1109054] for 12.0 SP2.

The attached PDFActions.jar file (as .zip) is correct.

1) Download the .jar file

2) Be sure to use the version 1.4.5 from iText: [http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar|http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itext/itext-1.4.5.jar]

3) Rename the file itext-1.4.5.jar to iText.jar

4) Open a browser window and navigate to the SAP xMII Administration Menu at http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Menu.jsp.

5) On the SAP xMII Administration Menu, choose System Management -> Custom Actions. The Custom Actions screen appears.

6) To upload the .jar files to SAP xMII, click Upload. PDFActions.jar is the assembly .jar file, and iText.jar is the dependency .jar files.

12.0.4

This is ok for 12.0.3, but after an upgrade to 12.0.4 you cannot open the workbench because of a missing iTextAsian.jar. To avoid this you have to download [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar|http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/itext/iTextAsian.jar].

If you do it before step 6 above you have to use iTextAsian.jar as second dependency file.

If the PDF actions are already deployed (for example in 12.0.3), you have to delete (don't forget to deploy after that) and to upload and deploy the three files again.

Now it should work. Try the function "Generate Documentation" in a transaction in the workbench to test it.

Markus

Hi,

I don't know if it's possible to attach files here.

But if you use the link to the note 1109054 there is an link to the zip file at the bottom of the note.

Regards,

Markus
