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.

Problem opening PDF files with adobe

I cannot get adobe to open my pdf files. Not from internet nor from desktop.
I downloads fine,. I have installed and reinstalled several times.

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

Problem opening pdf files with Adobe Reader in Windows 7

I bought a new Dell (Inspiron 5110) with pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium (Version 6.1 SP1, 64 bit) and pre-installed Adobe Reader X (10.1.1). I cannot open ANY of my old pdf files with the Adobe reader (even after I re-installed the Adobe Reader). On another computer with Windows 7 I get the same error message. When I installed several other pdf-readers (Sumatra, Foxit, ..) I can still not open the pdf's -- but all the pdf's still open under Windows XP on my old computer and they also open on all my colleagues' non-Windows 7 computers. So it appears to be a Windows 7 problem. The Adobe error message says 'Adobe Reader could not open _.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (…..).
N.B.: I can download pdf files from the internet and can then open these 'new' pdf files with Adobe Reader X.
N.B.2.: Most of the 'old' pdf files are scientific articles downloaded from various journal websites 2002-2011, so their quality should be out of question.
N.B.3.:I've transfered the files via memory stick and portable HD.
N.B.4.: If I try to open the pdf's via 'Open with' the problem remains the same.
N.B.5.: When, on my Win7 Dell, I've uploaded/attached one of these old pdf files to an email the rtecipient could not tead it. But he could read it when I'd sent the same file from my old Win XP computer.
N.B.6.: I have repeated this last observation: When I upload an old pdf file on my Win7 Dell to my email account and then send it to myself, I cannot open/read it on my Win XP (nor on the Dell, of course). Although the file size is precisely the same.
N.B.7.: When I download a new pdf on my Dell, then upload/attach it to an email also on the Dell and send it to myself, I can download and read the attached pdf on both computers.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

This is really strange.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I can understand, any PDF which is launched on your Win 7 OS fails to open, even though the same file works perfectly fine on your Win XP machine?
Could you please run a full system anti virus scan on the said PDFs that are present on your local system. It could be a case of infected PDFs.
Also, it would be great if you could try and download some of the erroneous PDFs from the web again, and see if you experience the same behavior.
Thanks

PDF Generation with LiveCycle Data Services

Hi everybody!
I am using LiveCycle Data Services to generate a dynamic pdf. I worked with this tutorial : livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/pdfgen_1.html and i adapted the code to my own example.
I created a pdf template with livecycle designer and i succeed to generate the pdf thanks to LiveCycle Data Services.
Here is my problem :
In LiveCycle Designer i create a table and bind my data connection (from xml source) to this table and i bind subforms to repeating data.
It works when i try to open an overview of the pdf with LiveCycleDesigner.
But when i try to generate the pdf with livecycle data service, there is no repeat of my data. There is only a number of items corresponding to the minimum of repeating i set in livecycle designer binding window...
Is it possible to generate repeating data with LiveCycle DS ?
an example of my xml source :
<item id="1">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
<item id="2">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
In livecycle designer, if i set the minimum of repeating to 1, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only one item.
if i set the minimum of repeating to 2, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only 2 items. etc.
I don't know how to generate an indeterminate number of items...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bye
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
there is no limitation. Dynamic PDF files can be generated with Livecycle Data Services.
You should have a look at the XML file generated by your Flex code. Try to save it and see how the XML file behaves when you generate a PDF preview with Designer. You can go to the menu: File > Properties > Preview > Use XML test data...
With the XFAHelper class, you can either load a PDF or a XDP file. Have you tried with a XDP ?
I've attached a dynamic PDF file that I've created for a customer. I generate a dynamic PDF file using LiveCycle Data Services. Maybe you'll find some clues within the file.

Problems opening PDFs created with Acrobat in TFS

Hi,
I know this might not really be a supported issue, but any thoughts you might have would be appreciated!
I've been creating PDFs using Primo PDF and a trial of Acrobat X. I then put them on TFS / MS Visual Studio 2000.
So, when I try to open a PDF I've checked in, the ones I've created in Primo are fine and launch whereas the ones created in Acrobat won't open and an error message about Inconsistent Line Endings is displayed.
It says:
"The line endings are not consistent. Do you want to normalize them....
Line ending: Windows (CR LF)"
The PDFs DO work when I open them from the normal place in the windows file system. However, when I try to "normalize" them by clicking yes, it breaks them completely.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I'm assuming it must be something to do with the conversion or document settings, because this only happens to PDFs created with Acrobat.

In Acrobat X, SharePoint Integration has been added which allows users to check-out/check-in the document from within Acrobat. Clicking the file from document library in Internet Explorer opens the file in Acrobat. The configuration that needs to be done on the SharePoint server is explained in the following KB article in section 11.1.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83709/attachments/Acrobat_Enterprise_Administration.pdf
Please try these and let us know if you face any problems after this.

Has anyone also experience these kind of problem? Or has anyone an idea where this 'validateUserSession' function is located, which *.jar, *.war or *.ear?
BTW: I checked that Workflow in running properly before I installed PDFG.
Regards, Karin

Hello,
I think I found something: the webapp.jar in adminui.war in LiveCycle.ear contains the FeatureBean class and is different once I have PDF Generator included. I tried to exchange this jar file. Now I have access again to the administrator webapp.
However, I get an error message when I try to convert images with Acrobat:
"The service to convert the document could not be looked up."
Can this have something to do with the exchange? It's a strange error message because Acrobat is installed together with PDF Generator.
Or could it be because I have also Adobe Reader 7.0.8 installed?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.

Hi Hao,
Try this out
Suppose the file name is test.doc in c drive in server
create a context attribute filedata of binary type
bind it to data property
write the following code
try
   File input = new File("C:
test.doc");
   int length =(int)input.length();
   //Create a byte array b to hold the file
   byte b[] = new byte[length];
   FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(input);
   //Reading the file to a byte array b
   in.read(b);
   in.close();
   //Setting the data from the byte array to the context element.
   wdContext.currentContextElement().setfiledata(b);
catch(Exception ex)
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Error in File
IO"+ex.toString());
// Structure information of the context attribute
IWDAttributeInfo attinfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("filedata");
IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
// Default File name which appears when opened on client machine
binaryType.setFileName("testing.doc");
//Explicitly setting the file type
binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.DOC);

File does not begin with '%pdf' error with adobe reader 10.1.5 onwards

In our web application we are using activePDF toolkit (3rd party component) to fill up carrier forms on the fly which are PDF files.
The output file processed by the above library works fine when opened with adobe reader 8, 9 and10 on end user’s browser (IE); however, it gives below error when opening with adobe reader 11.
Till now, we have tried different settings at IIS level, Internet explorer e.t.c. suggested on different internet posts. However, we are still facing the problem.
While analyzing this we have come across following link
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
According to this adobe 10.1.5 onward file should only start with "%pdf". If file start with other than this we get file corrupted message.
Before we can communicate this message to client we want to confirm this for experts. Please let me know my assumption is right?

Rahti - i'm having the same issue but I not familiar with the steps outlined in the Adobe link below
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html
Would you be able to help with how I can navigate to this on my PC to correct it for me.
Thanks.

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.

Bug in PDF generation with Report Builder CF8

Hello
there is a bug in the calculation of the left margin of a
page.
I upgraded from MX 7.02 to CF8. My "old" Reports worked fine,
but when I export them to PDF an print them the left margin is
different.
I'm using metric settings in the Report Builder. I created a
new Report with Left Margin 2 cm and a single Field with the left
Property = 1 cm (0.9879 cm). The printed paper with these poperties
where fine. I could measure appoximatly 3cm . But if I use Report
Left Margin = 1.27 cm and Field left Property = 0.35cm. The left
margin of the printed paper is only 1.1cm.
So it depends on the choosen Values of report left margin and
the left property of a field.
Does anybody else have the same problem?

I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
- and some of them less visible than these file paths.
It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
the full path?
As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
Any suggestions?

I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

Help with PDF creation using CFDOCUMENT / iText

Hi everyone,
Finally made the jump to CF7 after sticking with 5 for way
too long and now have an urgent need to generate PDF.
<cfdocument> seems to do better than anything else at
converting HTML styled with CSS, but falls short in a few
fundamental areas. What I need to do ( to name 3) is:
* Generate a table of contents - including page numbers
* Have far greater control over the headers / footers
* Swap page orientation mid-document
I can get round the page orientation thing by creating each
section as an individual PDF and gluing them back together using
PaulH's excellent PDF concatenation code. Using <cfdocument>
I can reserve space for the headers / footers, and add a table of
contents with placeholders for the numbers.
Now, my question: Will I be able to rewrite all the page
numbers, finish off the table of contents and headers / footers
using iText? i.e. traverse the concatenated PDF file, rewrite the
headers / footers, work out the page numbers and rewrite the TOC?
I'm not asking for sample code or even a how to - just a
heads-up from some who knows iText well and can quickly say whether
this is feasible.
I hope it is because my alternative approach is to go down
the xsl-fo route which I suspect will be more effort in the long
run.
Thanks
PJ

as alternative solution you might check activepdf products.

Problem opening pdf's with one user

Hello,
We deployed adobe reader X on a terminal server 2008 with about 10 users, which login directly via an rdp session (no broker).
With one user, we have the problem that when she tries to open a pdf (either directly, in a browser, from outlook, whichever),
then the adobe reader program appears in the taskbar and then the program is gone. We tried the following things
- Kill the adobe reader process
- Repair adobe reader using the software install tool
- Downgrade to adobe reader 9.4.1 by uninstalling X and installing 9.4.1 (a version which is used extensively without problems at another customer)
- Delete the terminal server roaming profile and create a new one in active directory on the domain controller.
Other users have no problem with this and a testuser with the same rights (copy function in AD) does not have this issue.
Every time we apply one of the above solutions, it works for 15 minutes and then we are back to the original symptoms.
The adobe reader process seems to be still active after you close a document and after it stops working.
Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this permanently?

This is a problem (bug) with the built-in PDF Viewer (pdfjs) that currently doesn't handle this link properly.
*http://starkhealth.org/enviro/GRADE%20A%20FOOD%20EXCELLENCE%20AWARD.pdf
I've seen issues like this before, but can't find a bug about this issue.
