[Former Member]

Dear All,

We have a requirement of disbaling  PDF!  command on print preview screen. Can we do this through ABAP or through user authorization level.

Thanks in advance.

Hiii,

       Their is one solution that comes in my mind  which i have tested is - Create Implicit Enhancement in PBO of program SAPLSTXBC include LSTXBCFOP and put your condition or authorization object inside it if your condition meet than show PDF preview otherwise leave to screen.

See below screenshot .

Note : SAPLSTXBC - this is common program which is responsible for PDF preview when you are in print preview of any SF so for avoiding effect of this check on other tcode except your please apply tcode check or other possible conditions

Hi Murthy,

You mean to prevent printing over PDF output devices? I think there's nothing you can do through ABAP, at most output devices itself (not really sure what could be done from auth perspective), don't forget LOCL printing to PDF also.

Hi Nagasaki and Ranjan,

Thanks for your response.

If we execute PDF!  command on command field at print preview it converts the layout to PDF automatically ( If form is implemented using Smartf Forms).

I want to disbale this feature through ABAP/ through User Authorizations.

Please respond if you have a solution.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for the effort.

We thought it can be achieved through Smart forms settings / authorizations level. How ever we tried the solution suggested by you.

It is working fine. Thanks alot.

If you look for an authorization check, start a trace with ST01 for authorization check, display such a spool and execute function PDF!, then stop trace and look at the performed authorization checks.
