I am trying to print ADOBE PDF file to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter. It successfully writes a pdf file to the spool. When I either release that spool file to print or have the print job set to print immediately I get a spool error - unable to read format G_RAW l_rc =128. However I can print the pdf from preview. It is NOT an issue with the printer printing the pdf file as I can do this. My issue is that I cannot print directly to the printer via the SAP spooler. I have entered incident to SAP with specific example of my program that produces the pdf spool file. I am directed to read notes that imply I have ADS problem which is ridiculous as I have plenty of SFP generated pdf files printing to HP and Canon laser printers. Again i am trying to print a very large label 2 X2 foot to HP Designjet Z5400 plotter directly via spool. My task is to direct label to different printers based upon MATNR field.
I would appreciate response from only people who have printed SPF ADOBE pdf to plotters.
The pdf that was created file size 5.7 KB.
