Returning only pdf viw BO OpenDocument

[Former Member]

Dear all,

is anybody able to tell me if I can configure OpenDocument that the BO server only returns a PDF-document for reports?

Thanks!

I think it is possible.

I am presuming you are using BI 4.0.

Go to help.sap.com> select Analytics > Go to Business Intelligence below then just below it you will find

Business Intelligence Platform (Enterprise)  once you expand that you will find

• SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.0

Inside 4.0 search for "Viewing Documents Using OpenDocument" pdf.

It will be in Developer Documentation url parameters.

Open the English version for FP03  there you will be able to see teh Soutputformat parameter that you can set for pdf.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Thank you, I've found and tried this parameter but if I select pdf then I get a webi top and sidebar. I want plain pdf

HI,

Could you confirm if you try

sOutputFormat as E or W for excel or rich text format ,do you get the same webi top and sidebar? This test will confirm something.

I receive every time a pdf document with the top toolbar

Hi Gerrit,

I guess this post on the Idea Place hits the same target...

Looks like your requirement is not possible at the moment.

Like I said earlier if you do not  get the same behaviour  for your target ouput like excel or rich text and if you get the same format for pdf  ,a  bug request can be raised.

As Uli had mentoned the link in Idea Place which says

"

The new openDocument API always returns a screen with Save, Drill, etc. menu
items.

We would like to use the openDocument API to return a simple HTML view of the
report data alone.

The only functionality that should remain is the option for displaying tabbed
reports.

We had this functionality in BO 3.1 but the openDocument was extended in 4.0
without the options to limit the functionality through parameters"

Thanks,
