XDC SAP Module
Can you add any Word or PowerPoint document to your SAP® document when printing?- Can you archive different kinds of document formats in one file?
- Wouldn't it be easier if you could process Microsoft Office® documents directly from the SAP® system and print them in the correct order from any printer?
An external converter, s.a.x. MasterLayout® module XDC 1.17, is added to extend SAP® systems with this important function.
Via the SAP XDC interface, this converter transforms e.g. Microsoft Office® documents (.doc, .ppt, .xls, etc.) into print data (PS, PCL5) and returns them together with the SAP document (as a composite print job) to the SAP Spooler. Or it transforms the documents into data for archiving (TIFF, PDF) and returns them via XDC to SAP.
Fields of Application:
- Printing of SAP® attachments
- Conversion of documents for archiving systems
Examples:
- Printing of files that contain different document types (SAPScript/Smartform, Office formats, PDF) directly from the SAP® system

- Printing of photos or plans together with service plans or bills of material
