IDCS4 Export to PDF (Header/Footer Screwed Up) in PDF...Possible Solution?

THE PROBLEM (See "Evil footer setup.pdf"):
When you convert a IDCS4 document to a PDF while using a 2-page master, the PDF may be missing the odd or even pages. The page content (silly face) is there, but the header and/or footer is screwed up on either the odd or even pages. The even pages are mess up in this example.
THE REASON:
INCS4 does not like a single (header and footer) box to be dragged across both pages. Whe you do, you get them on one page or the other. Anything in theses header/foot goes asta-la-bye bye. In "Evil footer setup.pdf" both the header and footer boxes were two separate boxes drawn on one side, then dragged across the other page.
THE SOLUTION: (See "Happy footer setup.pdf")
On the 2-page master, set up the even (left pages) first with all of the header and footer information (include bleeds). If your using colored boxes for the header and foot area, put them on the bottom layer and put all text and page numbers on a new layer above. In the "Happy footer setup" example, the even (left) page header is identified by light cyan and the footer is identified by light magenta. Once the left side is done, group it, dup it and move it to the odd page (right side). The header on the odd (right) pages is now dark cyan while the footer is dark magenta. Once boths sides are set up, overlap each header and footer onto the opposite page by 1/8 of an inch to cover any gaps (seen in the happy example). This is assuming the header on both sides is the same color.
The "Sample Master Pages.pdf" (TOP) shows a single box header and footer dragged across 2 pages. (BOTTOM) shows a single box header and footer on each individual page. Remember the layers. Compare the sample to Happy and Evil and you'll get the idea.
Hope this helps someone.

This MAY be solved by the 6.0.4 update. See the release notes for item #2299929.

Header / Footer in Analysis PDF

Hello,
I'm trying to add a default header / footer to all pdf generated by Analysis.
I looked at the section "18.6.2.1 Adding a Default Header or Footer to New Analyses" in OBIEE system administrator guide and followed exatcly the steps.
I created a new file like this and restarted the server:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web.messageSystem">
<WebMessageTable system="Answers" table="ViewDefaults">
<WebMessage name="kuiCriteriaDefaultViewElements" translate="no"><HTML>
<view signature="compoundView" >
<pageProps pageSize="a4">
<pageFooter showOnDashboard="true" show="true">
<zone type="top"><caption>Acme Confidential</caption>
<displayFormat fontColor="#FF0000"/></zone>
</pageFooter>
</pageProps>
</view>
</HTML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The problem is that when I do a new analysis, when clicking results tab, it appears an error "Bad XML Instance .......... Line:2 Col:811, Unresolved type 'saw:top' found in xsi:type handling"
Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
Many thanks
Victor

Hello,
I could get it work by changing the zone tag from <zone type="top"> to <zone type>
Now I can see the footer in the compound layout. But when I export a pdf file the footer is not shown !!
Anyone ?

Excel-Export WAD 7.0 - Header/Footer/Margins

Dear all,
I used the Header/Footer and Margin options in the export wizard (export to excel) but it doesn't work. When I print the excel file no header/footer information are shown. as well as the margin settings of the printed page are not as I entered.
I know that I should use the pdf-export (it works fine), nevertheless the customer wants to have a "formatted printing" even out of a generated excel-file.
Any ideas?
Or do the input options regarding header/footer and so on only refer to the pdf-export?
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Dear Mark,
Unfortunately Excel exporting is not designed for such purposes. The only option you have is to specify which web items are to be exported (using the Export to Excel button with the standard command). In case you want to export from the context menu, it will send to Excel everything which is on the screen, so, no way to control.
You could consider a workbook for a better formatted Excel, if really needed.
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Header Footer tool replaces headers and footers in PDF

The header/footer tool replaces the headers and footers in my PDF, this header and footer I am referring to was not added in Adobe but was added in Word 2010, when I tried to add an additional header to my PDF (I added a page number) it replaced the footers that was already in my document. The only way I could get around this is with adding a header instead of replacing, which is quick fix, but as soon as you add more pages to your PDF and want to re-apply the header/footer to update the page number that I added to the header it would remove ALL headers and footers from the PDF.

I am having the same problem. Here are the steps. We created a series of documents in WORD 14.0.7143.5000 32 bit. Each WORD document has a footer specific to that document (i.e. WORD documents are: Business Plan, Market Study, etc. which are each a separate WORD document, each with a separate WORD footer). Each WORD document is converted to PDF with Adobe X. The PDF documents are then combined into a single document with Adobe X. Then with Adobe X we create a new footer (i.e. Document Package, with date, etc.) which is applied to each page of the Document Package. So each page of the Document Package SHOULD have a Footer of : (1) On the Left Margin - the original WORD document (i.e. Business Plan) and (2) on the right margin - the footer inserted with Adobe X (Document Package footer).
Here is where it breaks. The WORD footers are retained when we convert from WORD to Adobe. The WORD footers for each document are also retained when we combine the several PDF's into a single PDF (Document Package). It is only when we add the Adobe Footer to the Document Package that we lose all the original WORD footers. The result is the Document Package has only that one Document Package footer (on the right margin), and we lose each of the footers which were in the original WORD documents (left footers). I tried this two ways. First was to modify the footer, and the second way was to add a new footer - neither works - both delete the original WORD footers. Also, it is interesting because the original WORD footers do not show up in the ADOBE footer box (the screen where you enter the text and other information for the footer).
The use of the Watermark might be possible, and it is probably the work around we will need to use, but it is a poor solution. Please let me know when fixed.

SSRS Table/Row Header does not repeat on every page when exported to PDF

Hi, I have a SSRS Report in which the rows are grouped and the Tablix has a Table/Row header. I wanted the header to repeat on every page for a group because sometimes the data from the group would be more than one page.
                               To achieve this
                              - I went to Advance mode by clicking the arrow next to column group
                              - Selected the Header Static column from Row Group
                              - Changed the following properties
                              - KeepWithGroup: After
                              - RepeatOnNewPage:
True
                              - The header columns
are set to not grow.
The problem only occurs when the nested grouped data in one of the columns goes over a page. The following pages don't have any header.
So half of the time the header row repeats but when the nested grouped data extends over one page the header does not show. Problem only occurs when rendered to pdf.
I found this line "Headings are repeated on each page only if there is sufficient room" in SQL 2008 version. But I could not find it in later versions of sql server. So does that mean it is fixed

Hi Mumblesnz1,
According to your description, you specify value of RepeatOnNewPage as True in the report. When exporting the report to PDF, one grouped data extend over one page, and tablix header display on first page, not repeat on following pages.
As we tested in our environment(SQL Server 2008(SP3)-10.0.5520.0(X64)), it works as you required. We set KeepWithGroup as After and RepeatOnNewPage as True. After exporting to PDF, the grouped data display on two pages, and tablix header repeats on each
page. Since we haven’t found any document mentioned this issue is fixed on which version, I suggest you try to install the service pack 3 for sql server 2008.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Missing report header on export to pdf

Hi.
I have a bqy with 3 reports in it. When I manually export the reports to pdf, it works. But when I run it through the Version 8 portal, one of the reports exports without the header.
The header does have data fields in it for company and state.
I have searched online for an answer and even consulted the contractor onsite who is doing the Hyperion 11 Upgrade, but I can't find a solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Barbara

Thanks.
My problem was that one report had margins and the other didn't - Plus it turns out a Subreport's margins are ignored by the parent report. I had to create a duplicate report in our scenario.

Ram

For seeing the header footer on the xml publisher desktop you need to Patch 5579683
and follow these instructions
1. From Template Builder, select Help -> About Template Builder.
2. Go to the Workspace directory and change to the subdirectory jlib.
3. Rename existing xdocore.jar and copy xdocore.jar from this patch.
You can find the patch on metalink.
Hope this helps.

Is it is possible to identify Heading level, Title, Header, Footer, Paragraph in PDF using SDk or Script

Hi Friends
Is it is possible to identify Heading level, Title, Header, Footer, Paragraph in PDF using SDK or Script

In an ordinary PDF there is nothing to identify, the information does not exist. Just text at locations, the structure is entirely in the mind of the viewer. For tagged PDFs, yes. This requires a very detailed knowledge of the PDF spec and tagging, and writing a plug-in in C/C++. And of course it requires that the tagging is correct. Since tagging is often added automatically, it is often useless for real structural info. Who thought it was a good idea to tag automatically...!

Shrink image on PDF page to make room for header & footer

I have an application that prints to pdf with no header and footer, and does not leave wide enough margins for me to add the header & footer using Acrobat without overwriting part of the document/graphic on the page.
What would be the EASIEST way for me to reduce the image and widen top & bottom margins on each page of a .pdf document without cropping away part of the image, so that I can add the header & footer to each page?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Use the graphics package that you used to create the PDF to add the margins. You might also print to a new PDF to add margins. Graphics do not scale in a PDF, at least in my experience.

Group Header is not repeating when exported to pdf in 2008 r2

Hi
i have a typical scenario here , when i am trying to repeat my group header it is working fine in report viewer but when i exported to pdf it is not repeating. yea it is working fine in excel.
could some one help me in this as i tried various ways but couldn't able to figure it out
PS: i am using 2008r2
if this is the issue in 2008r2 , did it got fixed in any new version please suggest.
thanks
sharath

Hi sharath,
Based on my understanding, the group header doesn’t repeat when you export report to PDF file.
In Reporting Service, the RepeatOnNewPage property has effect on static row members only and where KeepWithGroup is not None. If value for KeepWithGroup is None, the group header will not appear in a new page. As we tested in our environment, we set FixedData
as True, KeepWithGroup as After and RepeatOnNewPage as True, the group header repeat in second page when export to PDF file. Please refer to screenshot below:
So in your scenario, please check if you have set KeepWithGroup as After. Then export to PDF again to check if group header can repeat in multiple pages. If issue persists, please provide some detail information about your report design. If possible, please
provide some screenshots about your results before and after perform PDF render.

How to Modify the Header/Footer that's created when printing to PDF?

Hi all,
How do I modify the header/footer that is added when I use the Adobe PDF printer in another application, like MS Word? Currently it adds the entire path of the file as the header, which is really annoying.
I'm not talking about the Header/Footer command in Acrobat's "Document" menu. In fact, that command doesn't even recognise the header that's generated by the Adobe PDF printer.
I'm using Acrobat Pro 8.1.3, btw.
Thanks :)

Generally you should set the whole look of the page in your application and then print to the Adobe PDF printer as you have been doing. If you are using a browser, there are header and footer commands for the printer that are typically set by the browser - those can be modified there. The PDF should look just like the preview in the application, that is the point of a PDF.

Placing SWF Movie into IDCS4 for export to PDF

I'm trying to place a swf into an Indesign document for export to PDF.
I made a simple swf using Flash CS4 (AS2 if it matters) and placed it using the File->Place menu.
I checked the Movie Options and selected, Embed in PDF, and play options.
Then I export to PDF and am sure that Interactive Elements is checked.
I found someplace that suggested toggling "create tagged PDF" to the opposite setting of whatever it is, but that didn't make any difference.
When I open the PDF with Acrobat and move to that page it just shows the default movie preview and shows a "buffering" window for ever, but the file is tiny so it should load immediately.
So how do I do this? Is it possible? I've tried some searches, but most everything I'm finding is about exporting ID docs to swf. And that isn't what I want.
At least I don't think this is what I want. I need to make a PDF that will have an animation of how to navigate a web app. So if anybody has a better way to do this, then please let me know!

I wrote up a very long explanation of this for indesignsecrets.com.
http://indesignsecrets.com/putting-swfs-into-indesign-documents.php
The bottom line is:
It's a bug on the Mac
Windows users can play those SWFs but the Mac hangs
Adobe is aware of the problem
But if you want an SWF to play on both Mac and Windows, open the PDF in Acrobat Professional and add the SWF there.
You will actually have more control than if you had placed it in InDesign and it played correctly.

Footer problem when exporting to pdf

I'm losing my footers when i export to pdf? Any ideas?

Post Author: vtec
CA Forum: Exporting
We are having a similar issue. Importing a perfectly justified word document as an OLE Object in Crystal. The document seems perfect in the viewer but when exported to PDF, the text seems to overlap each other and there are huge spaces between words. Using Crystal 11 release 2 (version 11.5.8.826). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

InDesign Table of Contents won't display once exported to pdf

Hello,
I am creating user manuals using Indesign books with CS5. When I export the book, I can view everything perfectly. But when I open the same file from a different computer, I get a message saying:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the problem."
And two pages are blank - the table of contents. If you hover the cursor over the blank pages, the cursor changes and indicates the hyperlinks, and the hyperlinks still work, but since you can't view the text it's not very helpful.
Both computers are using Acrobat 9.
Any ideas?

I systematically removed elements from the pages in turn and I think I've found the issue. I have a header/footer created in illustrator on the master pages for all the documents in the book, and when I remove it from the Table of Contents, it shows up just fine. Odd that it doesn't affect the other pages.
Thanks for your quick responses. Consider the problem solved.
