Can't generate PDF from xdp and XML

Hello,
I'm new to livecycle and flashbuilder.
I assigned as a task to send to a  livecycle server a xdp template and a XML file with the data in order to create the pdf.
So far, I created a class with two methods that returns as a BLOB the strings of a xdp template and the XML data to populate the template.
On the main application I'm calling the generatePDFOutput method from the OutputService and as far as I know I'm supposed to get a Blob which I can manipulate to save it as a PDF.
What could be my error? or how should I approach this problem? I came here since I can't find some document that shows how to create pdf from a flex app using livecycle...
I appreaciate your help.
I attach below the code of the main class

  • Generate PDF from memory and stream back via HTTP

    Hi All,
    I'm attempting to generate a PDF report from data within a database using Oracle XML Publisher. Ultimately I want to have a page that has a button on it. When the user presses the button a "Download File" prompt will appear. From here the user can download a PDF report of the data in the database. Here is the code I have so far:
    public void dataEngine() throws IOException, ParserConfigurationException,

    The bipublisher ide applies exactly to your situation.
    You want to the following:
    1. Run data template, generate some xml
    2. Be able to apply a format template to the xml
    3. Serve up the document on the screen in the form of a popup
    This is all taken care with the bi publisher ide behind the scenes, specifically in the oaf download (note: I suggest you first get familiar with the standard version, BIPublisherIDE). The oaf version requires none of the coding effort your doing right now.
    So let's work through how you would exactly do this. This is what you will need to do for an OAF Solution. For reference see
    http://bipublisher.blogspot.com/2008/03/bi-publisher-bip-in-oa-framework-part.html. The code sample thats provided in the article you can clone for your purposes.
    I highly recommend you invest a little time upfront understanding how the code works in the BIPublisherIDE. In the short term it might be painful to learn it, but in the long-term the code is free and you can modify however you would like, plus it works! The solution is all encompassing, best of all you can do everything locally without having to do anything server side for initial development (see the configuration options and manual on my blog)
    ===========================================================
    step 1: Extended the bipublisher api class, call the super class.
    import oracle.apps.xbol.bipublisher.api.XMLPublisherApi;
    public class IPTInvoiceGenerator extends XMLPublisherApi
    static oracle.apps.xdo.common.log.Logger logger;
    public IPTInvoiceGenerator (OAPageContext pageContext, AppsContext appsContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    /*call the super class, your connection will be set and stored in the config class
    getOALookup is a local method that maps out your parameters values to the data template values
    and may not work for your situation.
    if this constructor doesn't meet your needs create a new constructor in each class all the
    way down to the config class. To understand how the code works I suggest you visit and read
    http://bipublisher.blogspot.com/2008/03/bi-publisher-bipublisheride.html
    this will give you a great overview of the base classes and how you can morph them to your
    needs. For anyone else reading this you should be able to create a new constructor for a concurrent
    program with relative ease...
    super(pageContext, appsContext, webBean, pageContext.getParameter("output"), getOALookup());
    try
    Steps 2-8 go here...
    public final static Hashtable getOALookup()
    Hashtable parameters = new Hashtable();
    /**@Mapping:
    *=================== OA Parameter | @BIP Parameter (see form function call =============
    bi publisher ide will search oa parameters, get there values and map them to the data template parms.
    parameters.put("P_MLOGO_ID" , "P_MLOGO_ID");
    parameters.put("P_CONC_REQUEST_ID" , "P_CONC_REQUEST_ID");
    parameters.put("P_DIR_PROJECT_ID" , "P_DIR_PROJECT_ID");
    parameters.put("P_INDIR_PROJECT_ID" , "P_INDIR_PROJECT_ID");
    parameters.put("P_INVOICE_NUMBER" , "P_INVOICE_NUMBER");
    parameters.put("P_COST_PLUS_BILLING_ID" , "P_COST_PLUS_BILLING_ID");
    parameters.put("P_TO_DATE" , "P_TO_DATE");
    parameters.put("P_FROM_DATE" , "P_FROM_DATE");
    parameters.put("P_ORDER_BY" , "P_ORDER_BY");
    parameters.put("P_ORDER_BY_BILL_CODE" , "P_ORDER_BY_BILL_CODE");
    parameters.put("orgId" , "P_ORG_ID");
    parameters.put("P_DEBUG" , "P_DEBUG");
    return parameters;
    Step 2: Setup your output options
    //Setup your output directory
    setOutputDirectory(getFileDirectory(pageContext));
    //Setup your file name.
    setOutputFile("COSTPLUS_"+getRequestId());
    Step 3: Setup your configured data template and format template that are in the template manager
    tables in the eBusiness suite. Note: The code will download the data template and configured
    format template automatically with no interaction.
    //set data template code, no link is required to the format template
    setXdoDataDefinitionCode("XXPO_INT_INVOICE");
    setXdoDataDefinitionApplicationShortName("XBOL");
    //setup format template code, no link is required to the data template
    setXdoTemplateCode("XXPO_INT_INVOICE");
    setXdoTemplateApplicationShortName("XBOL");
    Step 4: Setup your parameters
    setParameters(someHashTable);
    Step 5: Call oaDataEngine(), create the xml document
    oaDataEngine();
    Step 6: Call applyTemplate(), apply the format template to the xml
    applyTemplate()
    Step 7: Display the document on the screen
    displayOAFDocument(); //pop the document up on the browser
    Step 8. Release the connection
    finally
    appsContext.releaseJDBCConnection();
    That's it! I've used the code over 3 times for calling bipublisher reports from oracle forms6i. There is no need for a web service that I can think of, but perhaps there is something I overlooked...
    Let me know if have any questions.

  • Generating PDF from DA and continue to execute

    Hi All, need your help...
    I have a DA with couple of steps:
    somewhere in the middle i have to generate PDF report and after that refresh one of the regions on the page
    well the problem is that after i generate the report using
    window.location.href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=MyReport'; the refresh of the region is not working
    same issue if i have to generate PDF and after that redirect to another page: the redirection is working but PDF is not generating.
    Looks like i don't understaffed well how to manage window.location.href
    Please help me wit any ideas
    Thanks

    Hi, Thanks for answering.
    I have to make some changes in the database according to the user preferences, print a report of this changes and refresh the chart(or redirect to a new page).
    I do realize that i just can let the user to click a new tab, or put a button to generate a PDF, but ideally you need to follow the business flow and provide the possibility to operate with the app in as less as possible clicks.
    The process is:
    a) user confirm to move some staff from one warehouse to another Populate the required session information into apex_collections
    b) he wants me to generate a PDF with details ( to print it for his records )Skip the PDF generation here.
    c) he is requesting me to redirect him to a main page automatically (no need to stay in the move section anymore) Redirect to main page > in this main page define a dynamic action on Page Load
    *1.* which runs only when a record exists in apex_collections that was stored previously
    *2.* Add a true action as Execute PLSQL code
    Code: Delete the collection.
    *3.* Add a true action as Execute JavaScript code with
    window.location.href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=MyReport';So the idea is as soon as the user is redirected back to main page he will be prompted with the PDF file.
    Hope this will work :)

  • How can we generate PDF file by passing a query from package to RDF?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am beginner as SQL Developer, I am stuck in one issue , that is regarding generating PDF or Excel file according to user parameters passed.
    Detail of Requirement :
    I have created one package it contains 2 functions and 1 Procedure .
    Also created xx_report.rdf for generating in PDF .
    getQuery Function Returns Query as output.
    getExcelFile function gets query as input and generate  and return CLOB file as OUTPUT.
    xx_Report  Procedure will take input CLOB file and export it to EXCEL file and save under a DEFAULT Location.
    When User Pass Excel as parameter we can generate the file , but now if User Passes the Parameter for PDF FILE then  client wants  to invoke RDF  passing same query(getQuery) to xx_Report.RDF and generate PDF from it .
    We have already Created the RDF for xx_Report
    How it is possible? to invoke RDF from PL SQL Package.
    (We are doing like this as in future if there are any changes in query we dont have to change in RDF or in Package )
    If not then please let me know the other way where i can get the PDF or EXCEL file as output according to users choice from RDF.
    ( We are not using XML PUBLISHER nor 3rd party tools)
    Only Oracle Reports Developer 11g 1.2.3.
    Please help me in this ....its urgent.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Harshil .

    Hello Narendra,

  • Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

    Can I take a PDF from iBooks and make it a numbers document?

    To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it).  If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

  • How to generate PDF from template via REST query

    Hello. I'm newbie in Adobe LiveCycle, will appreciate any help.
    What we need: generate PDF from template, using different data.
    What we have: LiveCycle Designer and server with deployed Adobe LiveCycle ES 2.5 image.
    Looks like server works and listen 8080.
    In Livecycle Designer I can generate XML (XDP) from PDF, so I can change this XML in PHP/Python/Go script to fill template with data.
    I'm looking for some REST method, where I can give that XML (XDP) and recieve generated PDF in response.
    I've spent whole to for googling all these things, found a lot of docs, but all is very complicated there. Also, examples from just doesn't work - maybe I have to do something on server before calling REST API method.
    Please, push me into right direction

    Your best bet is to probably create an orchestration (or "process" in Adobe speak) that accepts two document parameters, calls LiveCycle Forms (or Output depending on whether you want to interactive or non-interactive PDF), and returns the resulting document variable.
    The orchestration will return a redirect that will point you to the document object.
    See Invoking LiveCycle using REST Requests, and Creating Your First LiveCycle ES4 Application.

    Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
    I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
    I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
    foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
    For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

  • Generating PDF from Microsoft Word with C#

    Hello,
    We have created web-based system for a customer that stores/handles Microsoft word documents and provides these to users as PDF versions. Unfortunately some problems appear with our third-party component that generates PDF from Word. Our customer has previously used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to manually generate the PDF files and is confident that the output produced this way is valid. Despite searching and reading a lot I can't find any way to determine if (and how) it is possible to automate the process of generating a PDF file from a Microsoft word file using the Adobe engine. There is a lot of SDK documentation, how to control PDF rendering in winforms applications etc. etc. All I want to do is to load an Adobe Acrobat instance, feed it with a word document and save it as a PDF on disk. From a C# app (ASP.NET). Is that possible?
    Best regards
    Jan Hansen

    As mentioned, you can probably send the DOC file to the Adobe PDF printer to create the file. What I keep reading in your post is a legal issue. You keep mentioning being able to create the PDF on a server automatically. The server use of Acrobat is a violation of the EULA. If you are creting the files off-line for posting as has been done, there should not be a problem. However, having these created in an automated manner by the user may be an issue. Before you go much further, I would check with legal counsel about the use of Acrobat in the way you intend. If they indicate there is a problem, then your question is not needed.
    Back to the issue. Try just dropping a DOC file on the Adobe PDF printer icon (you may have to open the Start>Printers to do that. See if that creates the PDF. If so, you will just need to automate that process.

  • Generating PDF from MSWord--IsTable of Content Updated?

    Hello,
    In generating PDF from MSWord document does the Adobe process call a method on the MSWord object to update the TOC field in the Word document during the generation process. Or is it assumed that the table of content in the Word document is always updated. If the table of content field is not current, field error message can appear in the Word document and the page number for
    the link can contain inaccurate values.
    Thank you,
    Jesse

    It is assumed the TOC is up to date.

    How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
    When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
    The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
    Thanks

    I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.

  • Can't create PDF from Word file

    I may be missing some functionality or that functionality may not exist.
    I'm running Acrobat Pro 9.2 and MS Word 2004 (11.5) on OSX Leopard 10.5.8. I want to create a PDF from a Word file but NOT using the Print dialog. I want to either create it in Acrobat using File > Create PDF > From File or create it from within Word using the Acrobat menu/toolbar. This is so that it will end up as a tagged PDF.
    However, I don't have an Acrobat menu or toolbar in Word. I thought Acrobat was supposed to have installed these into MS Office when I installed Acrobat. And when within Acrobat if I select File > Create PDF > From File and choose a Word file, I get a message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged". This happens for all Word files.
    Looking in Acrobat > About Adobe Plug-Ins... under Convert2AdobePDF it says 'Loaded: no'.
    Are these two methods of converting Word files to PDFs something that can only be done in the Windows version of Acrobat? Or is there a plug-in or update I can download to install this missing functionality?
    Thanks for your help,

    Keep your Office2004. But Office 2008 does have a way to create PDF's from within  the word and excel Programs.
    It works better than through the AdobePDF Printer, or through the Apple Print menus save as PDF. (Unless you have X.6.x Snow leopard)
    One thing it gets around is a long standing Problem Acrobat has had with word and excel since Word 6.0.1.a/Excel 5.0.1a. Acrobat doesn't know how to interpert Word Page section Breaks. Chopping up a word/excel document in to multiple PDFs that have to be merged back together. MS came up with their own PDF Converter that gets around that problem.

  • Can't create PDFs from Word due to Cambria font. Help.

    I'm using win 7 32 bit office 2010 acrobat pro 9. I can't create pdfs from word because of problems with cambria. I've ttried all the fixes I can find but none worked. Any more ideas?
    [thread title updated by moderator]

    How are you trying to create the PDF? With AA9 you have to print to the Adobe PDF printer or use the MS plugin.
    When you say you cannot create PDFs because of Cambria, what error messages are you getting and copy them here? At this point we really do not know what you are having problems with or how you are trying to create PDFs.
    In the future, please provide a topic to help folks that are stepping through all of the posts. A blank topic almost led me to simply skip your post.

  • Can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word?

    Downloaded the 8.1.4 update and now I can't create PDFs from Acrobat or Word.  If I try to create a PDF from the print menu, I get a message indicating that there are no print drivers for this...any ideas?

    Thanks for responding.  Yep, I tried repairing it...no dice.  Then I realized that I'd re-installed AA Pro 8 (having completely given up on the AA Pro 9 upgrade that crashed my system) but not the updates.  So I went through and re-installed each update.  Still no dice. Then I did another repair. Nope.  When I try to create a PDF via the print menu, I get a "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup."  This tells me that I have driver problem. But everything else prints fine, and I'm pretty sure Acrobat doesn't have drivers.  I'm stumped...
