Password for PDF Generated from WEBI

Dear Folks,
I want to give password for PDFs generated from WEBI so that when a person receives scheduled pdf report in his mail,he gives a password to open it.pls let me know how that can be acheived?

Hi Deepak,
This functionality is currently not supported by SAP Business Objects for WebI reports.Password protection is something that is done from the Adboe side. Kindly refer SAP note 1302401 to verify the same.

Company logo not appearing in PDF (generated from Web Report)

Hello all,
I have created a Web-Report using WAD and have my company logo followed by the reporting values. When I export this report as a PDF, I get to see all the values etc except the company logo. Could someone help me out with this issue pls.
Thanks,
SD

Hi Sebastian,
We've had the same issue and found no solution for this. There just isn't a way to add an image to a by SAP generated PDF file. The only thing that did work was adding the image to a report and adding the report to the web template. In that case the image is printed but on a seperate page.
Kind regards,
Alex

Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

Good day everyone,
I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
Background (for clarity's sake):
Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
System and software using:
Windows XP and 7 Professional
Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
Thank you for helping!

Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
Or how about recommending a program which does that??
Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
Thanks!

Not able to open PDF files from Web

Sometimes reader 9.3.1 in IE on Windows 7 stops working and it is not possible to display any more PDF files from web. Reinstall helps for a while.
By looking into running programs I found the acrobroker.exe starts and immediatelly shuts down. After a while IE responds with a generic acrobat problem that asks me to shutdown acrobat reader and start it again.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks

For the settings to check, see the [[opening PDF files within Firefox]] article.

Disappearing footers in PDF generated from FrameMaker 9

Myself and three other writers are having a problem with disappearing footers in FrameMaker. Here’s the problem: In FrameMaker, the footers display correctly. When we convert a book to PDF, many of the footers disappear. What we find is that a footer (or part of the footer) will appear on the first page of the chapter, but then the footers disappear in rest of the chapter.
Here is some more info:
·         We are using Frame 9. My version is 9.0p250. I'm also using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, Version 9.3.2 and Adobe Distiller: Professional Version 8.1.3.
·         We have been able to duplicate this problem using multiple guides.
·         Oddly, footers DO appear correctly when I print just one chapter.
·         I’ve tried rebooting my machine and then loaded only FrameMaker (in case of memory issues).
·         I optimized the book file and associated chapters.
·         I experimented with different Distiller settings.
Anyone else having this problem?

It's probably a symptom of needing the MS Hotfix that corrected a problem with text disappearing from PDFs generated from several Windows apps (not just FM).
More info here:
PS Hotfix KB 952909
Adobe blog: Hotfix for FrameMaker
Please let us know if this does the trick --

Opening pdf files from web

New to forums. Trying to open pdf files from web, and no luck, despite following Adobe trouble shooting suggestions. Using OS 10.7.5. no flickering or messages, just a tab with a blank screen. Older documents fine, nothing changed until this week. Downloaded X1 in attempt to solve problem.

Yes i tried following your list of commands and got the same error from MyMathLab by Pearson Publishing or the other link. I'm beginning to wonder if they are protected.
As you probably guess - I am not computer savvy. I will take my laptop to school tomorrow and ask another student.
Thanks for your followup.

? How do you change default for .pdf files from Reader 6 to reader 9

I cannot change the default for .pdf files from reader 6 to reader 9. Also I cannot remove reader 6. I am running Vista

Normally, completely removing old versions and reinstalling the latest version will reassociate all applicable extensions for the program, but it appears to have failed in your case. There may be something else going on with your machine that is producing this behavior. You probably need to investigate that. But what you can do to make sure the defaults are correct is click on the start orb and select 'Default Programs.' Then select 'Associate a file type or protocol with a program.' From the list of file types, select each of the following in turn: acrobatsecuritysettings, fdf, pdf, pdfxml, pdx, xdp, and xfdf. If its default program is not Adobe Reader, click on the Change Program button and select Acrobat Reader from the list (you may need to expand the lower section to display more programs than it initially provides). If Adobe Reader does not show up in the list, you will have to browse for it. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10\Reader\AcroRd32.exe.
This method is safer than manually editing the Root\Classes in the registry.

Zooming in a PDF Document from Web

Hello,
How can I zoom in a PDF Document from Web using Safari 2.0.4?
Thank you.
-HREsquivelO

HRE,
There is a couple of ways to zoom in PDF and any file. But my favorite is to hold down the "Control" key and use the Scroll wheel on your mouse to Zoom in and out. Assuming you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that is.
If you don't have a scroll wheel you can hold down the Option & Apple (Command) key and the press the "+ or -" keys to zoom in and out. Then move around your document with the mouse.
Way cool!

Trouble playing a PDF generated from Captivate

I have Adobe Pro and Flash Player 11.1, but unable to play a PDF generated from a Captivate file. The first message I get when I publish is "Note:To view the generated PDF file, you must have Adobe Reader version 9 or later."
When I open the generated PDF, i get this message "TO view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player."
WHat am I missing or doing wrong?

You may want to ask in the Captivate forum, as this would likely be something that can be remedied with different "Save" settings. My experience with Captivate is limited, so I can't really offer anything I'd be 100% sure of.

Safari will not open or download pdf files from web?

Safari will not open or downlaod pdf files from web? IS there a setting, or something else to do this?

Open browser preferences
ex Safari>Preferences>Extentions and un-enable any ext that mabe interferring , ex divX
or open Help> installed Plug-ins and remove Adobe Acrobat.
if still a problem
Quit Safari.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
A Finder window will open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari and test. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. If it works as expected, recreate the settings and delete the item you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place.

Setting passwords for pdf document generated by SAP system

We are generating PDF documents from SAP system and distributing them as email attachment. just want to know if anyhow we can enforce the password protection while generating these documents or may be setting the password protection before distribution. If yes, then what are the requirements/essentials for the same?

1. Is there any OSS Note on the same issue where it has been published by SAP that it can only be ensured using third party solutions? If yes, may I have the link?
I have no clue on this i.e. whether we can integrate Adobe Policy Server. My understanding was in it's current state it is NOT possible to have secured PDF Forms.
2. May I have the more elaboration on the way you mentioned in your reply?
Well what you can do is hide all the elements in the form and keep only a TextField visible. Now write a script and check the value entered in the TextField. If it matches with the default password you want to set then make the form visible else display error prompt back to user.

Reader 10.1.3 for Mac doesn't print pdf's from web

Yesterday we updated to Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Now we can't print any pdf's from the web. In some cases we can save the files and open in Reader - those files print. However some web pdf's, like Stamps.com postage, don't allow the files to be saved. Any suggestions? We've tried Safari & Firefox, re-installing Reader, running Disk Utility and re-starting the Mac.
When we try to print pdf's from the web, the print preview page in the print dialogue box is empty/white ... so the content to be print isn't even getting that far.
We are running Snow Leopard OS - 10.6.8.
Thanks in advance for any input!
Joan

Did you try the solutions listed here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4338063
"Can you please check your preview box present at the right bottom corner of print dialog. Is the preview coming right?
If no, then please try changing 'Comment and Forms' option present just above it. Try selecting 'Document and markups'."
If yes, Please let me know if it works or not.
Also, Could you provide more information:
->Which Printer are you using
->Can you print from Safari/firefox for non-pdf pages. Please try printing any html page and see if works
->Can you removing and readding your Printer and then see if it works
