Problem un PDF generation

Hi all,
      I have a litle problem in the generation of a PDF file that become in a base64 file, from R3, later, i'm proces it and get the URL to finally show incide in a IFRAME in the propertie "SOURCE".
     That work successfully but only for PDF's that contain only 1 page. Now for other files with more than 1 page, the IFRAME not solve the archive, que keep a loop to never end, obviously because not found the second page.
     Some idea's ???, some that was the same problem???
Thaks in advance.
Jorge.

Hi Chaitanya,
The URL that is generated, besides i'm displaying in a textEdit to look the URL. This text i'm make a copy / paste in other page, and neither show the same loop. Now using a Link to URL show the same problem.
By the way, i'm send the same routine to a friend and he's make a deploy to other WAS and was generated correctly the PDF, but in my was not work.
Thanks in advance.

Problem With PDF Generation With CFDOCUMENT

I am having a problem with generating PDF's from my web
pages.
For example...if you go here
http://www.michaelpumo.com
and click the "Convert to PDF" link on the left you'll see that the
output is totally wrong.
Is it to do with my markup? I can't figure this out.
Many thanks in advance.

I, along with many others have had these types of problems
and so far adobe hasn't addressed them (or at least I couldn't find
anywhere where they have).
Kapitaine, Have you tried outputting to flashpaper? Most of
my formatting problems only occur in PDF.
For instance, align right does not work properly. It pushes
everything to the right, but is not flushed to the right so the
output looks very unprofessional. This cfdocument was a good idea,
and a good selling point but it is embarrassing to have sold my
boss on it only to find out it is almost worthless in it's current
state. BTW I'm working on a CFMX7.0.2 on Linux RHEL4.

Presentation variable problem in PDF generation

Hi,
I have created the custom field using the following code
*case when (V_balance.yr<=@{var_year}{2009} and V_balance.yr>=@{var_year-3}{2006}) then 1 else 0 end*
Use this field I have created the filter and remove the field from report.
When I run the report with different prompts, its working fine as I expected in dashboard.
But when I generate the PDF for different prompt values ( var_year=2008 ) , I got same result. That is its generate var_year=2009 (default presentation variable)
Its generate the pdf with 'presentation variable default values' instead of presentation variable.
How could I rectify this problem.
Any one facing this problem.
Is there any alternative for this condition
Note:
We are using bise1 10.1.3.2.1
but I got a right answer in obiee 10.1.3.4.0
Thanks

This is a known issue in 10.1.3.2. Oracle solved this problem in the new upgraded 10.1.3.4. Check the Meta link for the service request numbers raised for this problem. How hard it would be for you to migrate to 10.1.3.4.

Problem with PDF generation from Interactive Report

Greetings,
I created an interactive report and chose CSV and PDF download options. I am able to create CSV but when I try to download a PDF it says that that acrobat reader cannot open the created pdf file. I am not sure what I should do to make it work. Please help.
-Vatsa

Hey there,
That happened to me when I had an & sign in the page title name. If you have some weird symbols in the page title, try changing them. Then it will work.
PS
Make sure in the title name and page name there are no weird symbols.

APEX 4.1 - APACHE FOP PDF generation problem.

Hi all,
I'm having problem with PDF generation using APACH FOP on OC4J.
When I test my print server as described here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/heres-another-posting-on-pdf-printing.html
everything works without problem. But when I upload my Layout to APEX and try to generate PDF from apex I'm getting error:

I could see similar post here:
Handling Special characters in call to apex_util.download_print_document
But it doesn't explain my case as it's crashing even when I generate empty pdf(no data so no special characters, only empty XML file with no data should be sent to print server)
Is there any way to see what xml is sent do print server for processing? That could eventually show where is a problem.
Palo

My mistake, there was really an "&" character in my template. now when I replaced it with %26 it works.
However I would be still interested if there is a way to see what data is APEX engine sending to print server cause it will help me to find this kind of errors.

BI 7.0 Web PDF Generation

Hi folks,
I do have a severe problem with PDF generation and it looks like a common issue.
I integrated Button to convert my Management Webreport to PDF, no big issue so far.
But the generated PDF is not bevaing like expected. We do have a BI report that contains 3 charts horizontally alligned by a table to fit the screen and 1 table below
those charts.
This report fits perfectly on one page landscape.
When generating PDF locally (PDF generator installed on client PC) Internetexplorer ==>PDF works as expected.
When using the Button in Webtemplate to use the BI functionality to export to PDF the PDF is a mess.
All template items are displayed in sequence taht means instead of 3 horizontal charts I see 3 charts and 1 table underneath each other.
It looks like the old fashioned 3.x print function.
My question:
Is there a way to influence the PDF generation. Maybe a class ( like former 3.x Table Interface) to modify to render the PDF like the template appearance?
We cannot install PDF clients locally nor can we ship management those reports coming from BI. Report designer is no alternative because of missing functionality.
TIA
Joerg

Thanks so far,
currently when using the container item and referring by command wizard ( export to PDF) the system is not generating any item.
Error Message 'file has no page and can't be opened...' occurs.
I think this is a really urgent Development issue because I think printing via PDF is getting more and more important since not everyone is using IE7 ( which is not fully supported by SAP either) to scale pages for printing.
Best regards
Joerg

PDF Generation has problems

Hi there,
Our company uses Colffusion to make PDFs for our client.
Recently, the PDF generation is incredible instable, causing
corrupt PDF files or performance issues.
I found out, that the problem lies within the including some
picture. This slows down almost everything or sometimes the
generation does not happen at all.
Is there a solution for this? Is there a hot fix for that?
Thanks for your reply

Try <cfreport> instead of <cfdocument> which give
better results for these type of pdf conversion and image
issues...

PDF generation : FileNotFoundException problem

Hi all,
I'm developing a dynamic PDF generation module in web application using iText framework. This module creates PDF on the server side then sends it to the client. Sometimes, Even though the PDF file is created on the hard disk, I got FileNotFoundException when calling the servlet that sends it.
My program is very simple (no thread used) :
1- The client calls enters some inputs,
2 - The iText based class generates the PDF,
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).
4 - The request is redirected to servlet that sends the PDF.
What could be the problem ?
thx,

In fact, I don't know what you mean by:
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).What do you mean by this? Did you save the proprietry PDF object? Or the java.io.File object? If it is the PDF object, does its class implement java.io.Serializable?
Um ... Here are some suggestions ...
First of all, make sure that the file really exists there.
Secondly, try to write a Java SE program to read the file using the absolute path you provided.
Then, if the Java SE program works, I think the reason may be that you haven't closed the "OutputStream" which writes the PDF file, or the security settings of your JSPServer prevents you from getting the file.

Help: PDF Generation Problems in Reports 3.0

Hi Techies,
We are generating PDFs from Oracle Reports 3.0
The PDF generation is fine in some datbases.
But in some database,when the records are more, during PDF
generation, Dr.Watson error is encountered, saying access
violation.
Can any one please clarify whether the error is due to memory
constraints on the system or if it has something to do with
Oracle Reports setting, while generating PDFs.
Do note that the reports are running fine, when the report has
less number of records.
Any suggestion/tip is awaited at the earliest.
Thanks in advance,

Very slow PDF generation when conditional text is hidden in FM 9.0

I am working on 96-page chapter of a larger book. A 7-page section of the chapter needs to be hidden until the next release, so I hid it with conditional text. After doing this, the "Save as PDF" printing process goes from taking 6-7 seconds to taking several minutes. If I unhide the conditional text in the same session, printing is very quick again.
I have no problem generating very PDF files with the PDF printer in other applications (Word, PowerPoint). The issue is specific to FrameMaker and the use of conditional text. What might be causing this?
I am using FrameMaker 9.0p255 and Distiller 9.0.
- Chris

Hi Jeff,
These were good suggestions to try. Saving the document first has no effect on PDF generation.
However, I did find that printing to the Adobe PDF printer remains fast when the conditional text is hidden. That's quite an interesting finding! I did also notice that these two methods of PDF generation aren't identical:
"Save as PDF" opens an Adobe Distiller window, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer opens a different "Creating Adobe PDF" progress box (looks like it's from the printer driver itself).
"Save as PDF" generates a 1188k PDF file, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer generates a 1049k PDF file.
"Save as PDF" defaults to placing the PDF in FrameMaker's working directory, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer defaults to saving to the last place to saved a printed PDF file (awkward when working with multiple directories, as I often do).
When I do a "Save as PDF", FrameMaker does still spool to the PDF printer. It is this spooling that takes a long time. Once spooling is complete, then the Distiller window opens and the PDF is created very quickly.
I would still like to get "Save as PDF" working since it knows where to place the PDF file. No solution to the runtime yet, but at least there is progress...

PDF generation with FOP throws NPE

Hi,
Stack trace
at oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer.reportXSLException(JXTransformer.java:769)
at oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer.transform(JXTransformer.java:342)
I'm using standard Java 1.4 API calls to create a PDF document from a DOM with Apache FOP 0.20.5.
The servlet is deployed to Oracle 10g Application Server 9.0.4.0.0. With Tomcat 4.1.30 the same code executes without exceptions
Because I have to port our web application to Oracle for a new customer it is important for me to get this fixed soon.
Thank you
Eckard

Light at the end of the tunnel: It seems to work when FO and PDF generation are separated. Until now the DOM was piped into FOP who internally created the FO from SAX events and then seems to parse it again to create PDF.
I separated the two steps: There is no problem in FO generation, but due to a namespace problem subsequent parsing fails
("org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: null:2:10 Root element is missing the namespace declaration: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format")
Now the correct exception comes up. Whether FOP SAX event listener is buggy or XML parser's error handling has a problem, I don't know
Thank you anyway
Eckard

Layout problem in PDF conversion

Hi all,
i am downloading spool data using the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. But i am facing layout problem. e.g. RFBILA00(financial statement generation program) has written balancesheet data to the spool. This spool data has some 6 columns. but CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF is writing only first 3 columns to the generated PDF file. i used 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' function module also with values like layout as 'X_65_132' and 'X_90_120'. but no success. if anybody knows the answer, please let me know.

CFDOCUMENT PDF generation peformance on Linux running CF server 8 or 9 is horrible

Can anyone help me understand how I can get the <cfdocument> tag to generate PDFs in reasonable time (and without throwing timeout errors) when running on CF 8 on Linux? Running on CF 9 doesn't make a difference, either. I can run the same code that generates a PDF on a Win 7 system and it completes the 1-2 page PDF in seconds. Do the same thing in CF8/9 on Linux and it takes so long (minutes) and then throws a timeout error. When we tried using Railo instead of CF8/9 it ran fine as well.

Our apps guy figured out the problem after googling the error log message. To put this in context, the deployed app is running in a Tomcat container on Linux.
The root cause is Java's AWT thinking there should be an Xserver available to talk to. Somehow in the code interactions during the PDF generation, calls are made to an Xserver that doesn't exist, with an absurdly long timeout. Adding the line "-Djava.awt.headless=true" to the catalina.sh script has solved the issue.
Hope this helps others!

Truncation in PDF generation

PDF generation via iBots produces only the first 8 pages. Last 4 pages are missing. At the end, it says 'Records 1 - 250'. This problem is not there when I generate pdf from Answers directly. Any clues as to where I should be looking?
Best Regards,
Dinesh.

Hi Dinesh,
I suspect that the <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery> tag in the instanceconfig.xml got reverted or, is set to 250. Please review Note 530222.1 in MOS for more information on how to modifiy the value.
Regards,
Jeff
