Big text showing in PDF from flex input

Hi,
I have a problem printing data to PDF from SQL. I'm using Rich text editor as it allows the user to add bullets, bold etc... and I'm using font Family arial and font size 12 in my flex form. Now when the data goes into DB it saves all the html tags like following
Data coming from SQL is like
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Verdana" SIZE="10" COLOR="#0B333C" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">Here is some text</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
I'm using in PrintPDF.cfm
<tr>
    <td style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">Text</td>
     <td>#qryText.Some_text# </td>
</tr>
Using this the PDF show big data returning from the SQL DB.
It overwrites all the styles that I have and will show big text
Please let me know if there is a way around this...
Any suggestions....

text as following:
Test Case here (This is what it is suppose to look)
Add Test Case Here, Add Test Case Here. This is a test case...(This is what is showing up)...

Shapes, Smart Art not showing in PDF from Word 2007

Hi,
I am having a strange problem. When I convert my Word 2007 document to PDF using Acrobat PDF, all the shapes and smart art that I created in Word 2007 is not appearing in the PDF.
However, when I am converting either Microsoft Powerpoint or Microsoft Excel 2007 to PDF, the shapes and smart art are coming properly.
Can anyone please help me. It is really really urgent for me.
Regards,
Ashish Agarwal

How are you converting your document? Try another way. You can convert it by going to the Acrobat ribbon, or by printing it to Adobe PDF (just like you would to a normal printer but select Adobe PDF) or from within Acrobat (File>Create PDF>From File). If this doesn't fix it try changing the PDF settings used to create it, e.g. smallest file size, Press Quality etc.

Protect a portion of the text in a PDF from scrapers

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I have access to Adobe CC - I have been learning InDesign and Acrobat and Photoshop.
Does anyone know if there is a way to protect only a portion of a PDF - just a selection of text - from scrapers? I want to post a PDF I created online, but I don't want the phone number and email address in it to be scraped by telemarketers etc...
In other words, do you know if there's a way to either:
1) In a PDF, turn text into an image so it can't be copied like text - i.e. so if I post it online the phone number and email address can't be indexed by google or scraped by a telemarketer? or
2) In a PDF, put some kind of copy protection on just the phone number and email address, so just that portion of the PDF can't be indexed or scraped?
Thanks

Several years ago Google began to OCR images it found in PDFs so that any text they may contain could be searched and indexed, so I don't think using images is a guaranteed way to prevent this. You can try setting security so that content extraction is not allowed, but there's no guarantee that this restriction will be honored by non-Adobe software that attempts the extraction.
You could add buttons/links that when clicked will reveal the information you want to hide, either as pop-ups or previously hidden/blank form fields, or use JavaScript to show the information automatically when a document is opened. This would prevent most attempts at automated methods of data extraction, but adds a bit of complication in preparing the document for use.

Generating PDF from Flex BarChart

Hello,
I am new to Flex. Have been playing with creating Advanced
Data Grid and Bar Charts for our application prototype and would
like to explore how to create a PDF file of the BarChart or other
charting components.
The requirement is simple. We show the BarChart and a button
to view it as a PDF. When the user presses the button, the PDF
viewing dialog should come up and the user can opt to save the PDF
or view it (the standard way a browser deals with the PDF).
Have read blogs, this forum and LiveCycle docs but don't
understand clearly how Flex communicates with
LiveCycle ES (or PDF Generator) to display the PDF. Any ideas
or tutorials that does this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kannan

In order to generate a PDF document, you have to call a
method on a Java remote object that uses the XFAHelper and pass it
some arguments.
I modified the PDFService example in the documentation so I
can:
1- specify any document as opposed to hardcoding the PDF
template name
2- write the PDF to a file as opposed to writing it in the
user's session
Here is the source:
package com.mycompany.flex.remoteObjects;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import flex.acrobat.pdf.XFAHelper;
import flex.messaging.FlexContext;
import flex.messaging.util.UUIDUtils;
public class PDFService
public PDFService()
public Object generatePDF(Document dataset, String
PDFdocument) throws IOException
// Open shell PDF
String source =
FlexContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/pdfgen/" +
PDFdocument);
int index = source.indexOf("./");
if(index != -1 )
// Remove the ./ added by UNIX
source = source.substring(0, index) + source.substring(index
+ 2, source.length());
XFAHelper helper = new XFAHelper();
helper.open(source);
// Import XFA dataset
helper.importDataset(dataset);
// Create a unique ID
String uuid = UUIDUtils.createUUID(false);
source =
FlexContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/dynamic-pdf/" + uuid
+ "_" + PDFdocument);
index = source.indexOf("./");
if(index != -1 )
// Remove the ./ added by UNIX
source = source.substring(0, index) + source.substring(index
+ 2, source.length());
// Create the file object
File file = new File(source);
// Save the file
helper.save(file);
// Close any resources
helper.close();
return (uuid + "_" + PDFdocument);
pdfgen is the folder where my PDF template resides.
dynamic-pdf is the folder where the generated PDF are saved.
These two folders are located under flex.war at the first
level.
In Flex, I wrote a Cairngorm command that calls this remote
object and displays the generated PDF:
package com.mycompany.core.commands
import com.adobe.cairngorm.commands.ICommand;
import com.adobe.cairngorm.control.CairngormEvent;
import com.adobe.cairngorm.business.Responder;
import
com.mycompany.core.business.GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate;
import
com.mycompany.core.control.event.GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent;
import com.mycompany.core.model.ModelLocator;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.collections.*;
import mx.core.Application;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public class GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand implements ICommand,
Responder
[Bindable]
private var model:ModelLocator = ModelLocator.getInstance();
public function GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand():void
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
trace("Executing GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand...");
var delegate : GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate = new
GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate( this );
var generateAndOpenPDFEvent : GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent =
event as GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent;
delegate.generateAndOpenPDF( generateAndOpenPDFEvent.pdfVO
public function onResult( event : * = null ) : void
var item:Object;
var result:String = (event as ResultEvent).result as String;
trace("GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand::onResult\n\n" + result);
if (result)
// Open the generated PDF in a new window
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(ModelLocator.FLEX_URL +
"dynamic-pdf/" + result), "_blank");
// Hide the progress bar overlay
Application.application.requestProgressBar.visible = false;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.source =
null;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.label
= this.model.languageDictionary["000012"];
public function onFault( event : * = null ) : void
// Hide the progress bar overlay
Application.application.requestProgressBar.visible = false;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.source =
null;
// Debug
Alert.show("GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand:\n\n" + (event as
FaultEvent).message);
FLEX_URL is created in this way some place else in the
application:
// Get the server URL from the Application's
var server:String = Application.application.url;
var index:uint = server.indexOf("Shell"); // Shell is the
name of my app folder
server = server.substring(0, index);
// This is the flex.war/ URL
ModelLocator.FLEX_URL = server;
Of course, it would be better to save the PDF in the user's
session as Adobe suggests, but I couldn't figure out how they use
the PDFResourceServlet. First of all, I had to get its code.
I had to decompile the java class files in the samples to get
the source of the PDFResourceServlet as it is not in the
documentation. Here it is:
package com.mycompany.flex.remoteObjects;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
public class PDFResourceServlet extends HttpServlet
public PDFResourceServlet()
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
doPost(req, res);
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
String id = req.getParameter("id");
if(id != null)
HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
try
byte bytes[] = (byte[])(byte[])session.getAttribute(id);
if(bytes != null)
res.setContentType("application/pdf");
res.setContentLength(bytes.length);
res.getOutputStream().write(bytes);
} else
res.setStatus(404);
catch(Throwable t)
System.err.println(t.getMessage());
private static final long serialVersionUID =
0x7180e4383e53d335L;

Need to Remove html text in Saved PDF from OBIEE Dashboard

Hi,
It's OBIEE 10g related issue...
Customer wants a Dashboard as PDF, Dashboard has a footer which has a HTML link. While saving this Dashboard into PDF file, it has the HTML text in footer place rather than HTML link.
Can you please help me on this issue that how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance...

How to show the pdf from the iPad in the new iBooks on the Mac Book Pro?

I have several books in PDF format on my iPad 4 but for some reason they persistently REFUSE to appear in the iBooks on my Mac book Pro (haven't checked the iPhones). The new iBooks brags that we can ontinue reading our books where we left from one device to the other, and since most of my interesting books are in PDF, how can I access this feature? What if I create a book with a iBook creator, will it show?
Thank you very much for your answers...

I figured it out (for me anyway) for syncing via USB or WiFi.
My PDFs in iBooks Mac weren't showing up in iBooks iOS & this is how I fixed it - it's syncing seamlessly now
I went to iTunes for Mac
Clicked on my device e.g. iPad
Clicked on 'Books' from along the menu that says 'Summary - Apps - Tones' etc.
Ticked the 'Sync Books' checkbox
Selected the 'All books' button, making sure that under the menu ('Books') I had selected 'Books and PDF files'
And then pressed the sync button at the bottom right of iTunes. It worked.
It's a 'set it and forget it solution' - after doing this I no longer need to interact with iTunes for syncing PDFs & books. Even when I rename collections on iBooks Mac, it transfers seamlessly across to iBooks on my iPad/iPhone via Wi-Fi.
Hope that helps - it certainly wasn't obvious to me.
Best,
Haider

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox
