SAP Note 1069540 - Printer Configuration for PDF Display in New NWBC Window

Component : Batchinput Tools (internal use only) - Documentation and Translation

Summary :
When attempting to display/print lists, forms, etc., as PDF files in a new NWBC window, users may face issues due to missing parameters in the NWBC client or incorrect configurations in the ABAP backend. The resolution involves setting up the "NWBC" printer in SPAD as the default printer with a device type of PDF and access method 'G'. Modifications to printer LP01 to map it to "NWBC," adjusting user defaults to assign "NWBC" in SU01/SU10 or SU3, and ensuring PRINT_POLLING=TRUE is included in NWBCclient.ini are required. Additionally, activating the /sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/WDK_SPOOL_TO_PDF service in SICF is necessary, and related SAP Notes should be implemented for optimal performance.
