Create and save a .pdf file

Afternoon! I am creating a pdf utilizing the cfdocument tag and it works great. It opens and displays well. My question is, is there a way to automatically save that generated pdf on the server without opening it? My end goal is to run a scheduled task every week that creates and saves a pdf automatically.

<cfdocument format="pdf" orientation="landscape" filename="YourPDFName.pdf" overwrite="yes">
it will save a copy of the pdf in the same folder as the <cfdocument> is run from, the problem I got is it wond display the pdf at creation time, all that is returned to my screen is the letter "z"
so may be best to fun the code in a loop and one time add in the filename and overwrite paramaters, if you dont need it displayed, then your gold.

Is it possible to create and save a .PDF without any compression to the resulting .PDF?

I need an uncompressed file so I can use the resulting PDF to do a find/replace. Can't do it with compression.
Thanks

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. Of all the suggestions I've received this seemed to
be most promising. I gave it a try and the problem is that when I attempt
to save as optimized a message box pops up and says I have to save my
document first. Low and behold when I save it, compression occurs. Even
when I select the options you suggest I'm left with a compressed document.
I'm using Acrobat Pro X

You don't want the UncompressPDF plugin - that's designed to split out the
COS objects but doesn't remove the Flate encoding (plus if you've never
compiled a plugin before, it's not really the time to learn).
Instead, simply save your PDF file using the PDF (Optimized) file type,
click the Settings button and under "Clean Up" - "Object compression
options", choose "Remove compression". Turn everything else off if you
want to retain the PDF content exactly as it was before.
Your document-level scripts will then be in the file as plain text.

Create and edit a PDF file

Hi,
Still very new on the Mac - how do I create and edit a pdf file on my iMac?
Thanks for any info.

Creating a PDF is really simple. From any application choose the print command (Command P) and in the lower left of the box you will see PDF, click PDF and then choose what you want to do. It will look similar to:
For editing PDF files you can do some basic annotation editing using the Preview app which you will find in your Applications folder. However if you want to do more sophisticated editing then you will need to purchase an editor from the Mac App Store. Open the store type PDF Editor in the search field and you will find quite a few to choose from ranging from $2.99 to $99.99 depending on your needs.

How do I download and save a pdf file on iPad2

I just got and love my iPad2 and am learning a lot. What I can't do is download a pdf file that is an attachment to my gmails. It won't open the attachment nor when I click on it will it download. I have installed both the iBook app and pdf-notes free also. I have a number of large cross stitch charts which I have purchased in pdf format. Several people I know use the iPad instead of printing all the pages ( can be 20+ or much more), can easily enlarge portions of the chart and with pdf-notes can highlight sections that have been stitched. My Comcast email will open the pdf attachment using the xfinity app, but there is nothing that tells me to save it in either iBook or pdf. I don't know what I am doing wrong. If I have to do something to the settings, I can't figure out or find out what to do. Its not a critical problem, but one I would like to solve.
Thanks

Just figured it out while I was typing more detail for you. If I go to gmail through Safari, not using the mail app (which is what I have been doing) I then get the open in iBooks or open in pdf-notes options when I open the pdf attachment. There isn't a little box in the corner of the PDF that has a "send to" icon with either email program. I don't know why it doesn't work with the email apps, but I've bookmarked gmail in Safari so I can get there.
Thank you for your help and your quick response. I really appreciate it.

Print Adobe Form AND Save a PDF file

Hi Experts
We have a situation where I need to print the output of an Adobe Form (printing only, it is not dynamic) that is generated during the dispatch process. In this case it is a Picking slip, but the same will apply to other documents. Currently, this works well - the output is produced and sent to the correct printer.
A new requirement by the business is that they need an audit copy of this document. This document needs to be saved in a certain folder on a file server. I know I can do this by using the getPDF setting of SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, and I have done it before for other applications.
However (and this is the question!), it seems that when I set getPDF, the print output does not appear anymore. Can anyone explain to me how to produce BOTH print output and a file copy of the PDF at the same time please?
Thanks
Casper

How to create and attach a pdf file to an email

I am looking into the feasibility of using email system to send indentical notices along with data attachments to hundreds of companies simultaneously. Each data attachment is corresponding to its own company email.
Please advise how can I create this file. What tool(s) do I need?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

user627993,
First thing is that this forum is for OTN community feedback and suggestions as the forum header says. Second, you have not provided any background of scenario like platform, tools, business case etc, so its impossible to suggest where to post.
You can go to forum home page

Unable to re-save a PDF file in FrameMaker 10

After creating and saving a PDF file, I am unable to resave the file with that name after making changes to it.
The Adobe Acrobat message I get is:
This error does not occur when I try to make comments and resave a .PDF created with Microsoft Word.
I have a workaround which is to save the file using a different name, delete the original file, and rename the new file with the original name. I would prefer not to have to do this with each saved change.
Thank you for any help or suggestions you can offer.

Actually, I had similar issue, but it was FM. Occasionally, when I did a Save as PDF or Save as with HTML, FM went on for a few moment then stoped saving with an error message along the line: Cannot create <some file name>... It kept doing the same thing for several tries until I deleted the previously generated files, then all would be well for a while, until the next time... I don't know it had anything to do with the generated files (PDF or HTML) being opened on a web-browser at the moment. Yet, as I remembered prior to that and verified afterward, in those times that went without such error, those files were being opened as well. Thanks!
PS: I'm using FrameMaker 11

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage

Strange that I can save a pdf file created in windows 8.1 to my cloud storage, but then I don't see it when I open my account. What is strange is that when I try again to save the file, system ask me to change the file name or over write current file. But file not present in my drive. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi jeffjn,
Please log out of your account, clear the cache, and then log back in. If that doesn't work, please log in using a different web browser. (See System requirements | Acrobat.com for a list of supported web browsers.)
Please let us know how it goes.

We're not just sitting here waiting to answer your question as quickly as possible for you.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

How to create and save a file in flex web application ?

Hi,
I want to create and save a file form flex web application. Is it possible ?
I have done some googling and found that its only possible through file referece, which needs some serverside implementation be called.
Is it not possible with file reference to create and save file directly ?
Can any one suggest how to over come this.
Thanks in advance.

Alex,
code written with the Flex Builder 3 libraries will certainly run in Flash Player 10. However, what you need is not so much the capabilities of FP10 but the library functionalities of the Flex 4 package. And I think that Flex 4 code will only run in FP10 and not 9 (but haven't tested this as at work we have not yet been permitted to upgrade, so there is not a lot of point going for Flex 4!).

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message

When I save a pdf file and try to open it I get an error message, "Adobe Reader could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
When I try to open it with Preview I get this message, "file name.pdf” could not be opened because it is empty."
I am running Maverick OS X 10.9.1. What's up with this?

Good question (I'm not a Mac guy these days).
But Adobe Reader is only viewing the file as it has been saved. If it happens to all pdf files from all sources, I would begin to investigate your OS (and possible permissions but I'm not sure) maybe in the Apple forums.

How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

Hi can someone help me with this question?
How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
Cheers!
VJ

It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.
