Actual layout of PDF output from printer is very small

Hi there,
I am currently sucessfully migrate Oracle reports from 6i to 10g (10,1,2) and the result looks fine from IE browser. When I try to print the report from printer, the image is occupied upper part of Letter size pager and it is very small which I even cannot read it. The following is my code snap:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(p_repid,REPORT_SERVER,g_server);
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(p_repid);
I didn't change any in my report rdf from 6i but only open and save it using 10g report builder. I also read threads posted but couldn't find the answer. Can anyone help me to resolve my issue.
Thanks
Jeffrey

It happens on all machine. We use browser to launch the application and the report is called from forms (10.1.2). We didn't change any code in report and neither the fonts (Tahoma). In 6i, client server environment, windows can find the font. I guess in 10g web environment, the font is not as default. HP Laserjet 8000N is a network printer which I use to testing my report. everything is fine in 6i but not 10g. Here is my question.
1. How to check printer setup? Should I use the default font from Linux instead of Tahoma?
2. I found a note in metalink, Note:356221.1 which explains the procedures to deploy reports from windows to Linux. I am not sure my problem is related to the font or something else...
Thanks for you reponse.

Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.

Hi Todd,
Please refer to this link:
paper layout & web layout
As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system.
If anybody has easy way to make those forms...
Please suggest...

Hi Shabeer,
the first thing is that you are running on a very very low RAM.
For ECC 6.0 with dual stack SAP System to run you should have atleast 4 GB of RAM.
For your Dispatcher issue kindly check the status of your Oracle database and the connection from SAP To Database.
You can check the oracle status using brtools utility.

I am using a Pixma MG3222. Print is very small, no matter if I print from the Web or a document.

I am using a Pixma MG3222. Print is very small, no matter if I print from the Web, PDF or a document using any of the iMac apps. Also, the Quick Menu does not show any functions in the Print or Manual & Device Information sections. This problem is only on my iMac (OS X 10.8.5). The printer works fine on my PC. For the iMac I have downloaded the Mini Master Setup driver and then the Quick Menu and EZ Photo print software. Can anyone help? I've been at for several days and am beyond frustrated!

Hi mac,
We have updated the printer & scanner driver since the Mini Master Setup was posted, please try installing the following listed below from HERE:
MG3200 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.84.2.0
MG3200 series Scanner Driver Ver. 19.0.0a
Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.2.0 for Intel Mac
Let us know if the updated drivers resolves your issue.

PDF output from RH9 WebHelp

I am asked to publish some WebHelp content as PDF prior to the infrastructure being available to publish WebHelp.
My wish is to publish it as PDF but not with a "Printed documentation" look. I want to create a PDFthat looks like Web pages. What is the best way to do this?
My thought is to publish to Word, then tweak and then save as PDF.
In RH 9 , what tools are available for creating a good-looking HTML output from Word?

Thank you Peter. I don't need the PDF output to look exactly like my HTML (even if it were possible, which it isn't). But I want the PDF output to be in a style of presentation optimised for online reading and navigating (rather than printing). There seem to be a number of limitations with both the template and the CSS approach.
For example, I can force the page size and orientation of the PDF output by modifying the style map template. But some settings don't seem to come across: headers, footers, two-column layout. It seems that RH9 overrides these settings when it produces its "print" output. So the clean-up tasks post-generation render this effort impractical in cases where the source files will be changing frequently. I suppose a clever macro writer could automate the cleanup tasks, but I don't happen to have one at my disposal.

PDF output from payment program (trancode F110)

We currently use 3rd party software to create PDF files of individual remittance advices from the payment run program, by passing the spool output print stream to this software, which recognises each different vendor remittance, and creates a separate file for each one.
Due to cost restrictions, we want to no longer use the external software and want to do this all within SAP.
I have looked at various functions available to create PDF output, and think CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF is the one to use, however, when I have tried a simple test of this FM, it creates one pdf file for the spool output, but we need to create separate PDF files for each different remittance advice, per vendor.
Can someone suggest a way that we can do this?
Thanks,
Michael.
PS. I am an ABAPer.

Hello,
Maybe you can start with Adobe forms in SAP, for printing the technology is free, it is quite an emerging one and there are plenty of tutorials. Maybe you can start from here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d and create your own customer forms.
Note there is SAP ADobe forms forum under NetWeaver and you can find me and other SAP Adobe people there.

Grayscale pdf output from Illustrator (?)

Some of my real estate clients want me to do grayscale versions of their flyers in addition to the color version sometimes. Is there a way to take a cmyk pdf that was output from Illustrator (complete with vectors and images, etc) and output to a new grayscale pdf correctly? There seems to be no way to do that in Illustrator aside from editing them within the app (not the best way). Illustrator does a bad job with converting embedded/linked cmyk bitmap images to grayscale...they end up over-saturated and look incorrect.
Converting all vectors is easy with Ai CS3's Live Color, so no worries there. I'm just looking for an easy automated way to do this from the cmyk Ai file.

Mr. Met wrote:
I thought that only applied to CS4 and/or snow leopard thing. I have CS3/OS 10.4.11 and have no problems printing to postscript.
Right, it's a problem in Snow Leopard. It looked to me as if you were answering the question of what method to use in Snow Leopard, and print to PS is problematic. For that matter, the result is the same if you print to PS and distill or do it in one step by printing to PDF if you use the same settings, so unless you use a watched folder for distiller, I can't see any reason to use two steps.

No hierarchy structure in PDF output from ditamap

I am trying to publish a ditamap to pdf with FM11. Adobe seems to recommend to save as a FM book with components and then to PDF. Then the hierarchy was lost in the PDF even though it looks very good in the FM book structure.
Almost all topics are rendered as a chapter;
the exception is when the chapter has a href to a dita file;
all sections are rendered as a section no matter where this section belong to and which layer its parent topic is on;
all the topic title use title.0 para tag, and sections use title.1 para tag, so they are all included in the TOC as chapters and sections, no matter which layer they are on in the ditamap;
the numbering of chapter/section are in a mess.
I have looked into the ditafm-output.ini and didn't find useful settings. Any suggestions or clue? or FrameMaker is only not capable for these issues? or can only publish a flat topic PDF?
Thanks!

You might not be accessing the right ditafm-output.ini file. See my answer from Adobe support under:
Publish in Responsive HTML5 - files skipped and 3rd level topics not generated
Hope that helps.

PDF output not printing specific Czech character

Hi,
On the XML template i have harcoded some Czech characters like, měna & Peněžní
if any Czech character has small v on top of the character, then the report output prints as ? instead of that character. For examplae, měna & Peněžní in PDF output prints as m?na & Pen??ní . It prints rest of the Czech characters correctly. The issue happens only with PDF output. When i keep the Format as EXCEL then it prints the Czech characters correctly. Can any one help me on this issue.
Thanks
Shankar

Best way to produce PDF output from Classic ASP

I have Adobe Professional 9.2 and LiveCycle ES Designer 8.1. I need to change a Classic ASP web application to produce a PDF report. The way I see it I have three options:
1) create native PDF output using open source libraries.
2) create an FDF form with Adobe Pro as a template and use FDF libraries from Adobe to substitute text in the template
3) create an XML form with LiveCycle as a template and do direct text substitution into the XML.
I created a PDF with LiveCycle and prior to saving, unchecked the "save PDF files compressed" in tools/options. I don't want any text boxes, just labels, and in some of the labels I will put distinguishable text. When the web application uses the template it will find various text strings in the XML stream and substitute.
What's the best way to do this? Is there a better way of doing substitution into the LiveCycle template? I would like to stay with LiveCycle. But from code samples I've seen, FDF substitution is very straightforward and possibly easier. I also thought LiveCycle is supposed to be the way to go instead of Adobe Pro. Thanks

I cannot speak about theother methods but I can speak about the XFA method. In most cases people will bind the xml to the rawValue property of the field thereby filling the field with the value. However there are other bindable properties. Caption is one of them. first you have to turn on the Dynamic Properties. Click on th efield you want to control on on the Object palette click the icon as shown below:
A new menu will open like this:
Turn that option on and the Caption will turn a different color and will become a link. Click on the link and then you can map the caption to a node in your XML structure. This assumes that you have created a Data Connection to bind with.

Script PDF output is printing distorted

Hi,
At the time of printing script output I have set Option paramter 'ITPO' to generate spool request.I sent this spool request PDF output to external mail by SP01. But when I download this PDF output form mail and print, priting quality gets distorted. Why this is happening? Please help how to overcome this issue.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply.
What I deed and what I want is explained below:
1. I have developed a script form and driver program which is used for invoice printing.
2. Our client wants to send this invoice on external mail. What i deed for this that I am using the spool request which is created during the print of output.
3. Then I am using transaction code SP01 to send spool PDF to external mail.
4. This script PDF output is sent successfully on external mail as an attachment. User saves this PDF attachement and print on their printer.
5. PROBLEM is when user open this attachment and prints this PDF, the printing gets distorted.
Note: I have also used another way by function module and program, but the result is same, PDF attachemnt printing gets distorted. It is not the same as get printing through ZTCODE printing of this script.

Problem to get PDF output from Jetform Central on HP-UX

I was running Jetform Central on HP-UX box with a compiled form with PDF being the default driver.
I had no problem to fill data on the form and print to a HP Laserjet printer through the LJ5SI driver. But when using the PDF driver to print the same form I could not get the output created. I got error of "Invalid Printer Type (98)" message.
I had the PDF driver selected and set as default in the compiled form.
I also had the "-aspPDF" and the "-zMy_Output.pdf" options set as the command-line parameters of the "jfmerge" command.
Why did it complain about the print driver being invalid ??
What's missing here ??
Why couldn't this work ??
Please help
Thanks
Andy Liang

My company originally attempted to install Central 5.7 back in May of 2009, and had the same problem. We went back to the previous version because we didn't need any of the new features, and our paid 3rd party support was unable or unwilling to help us. More recently we found the need for the new features in 5.7 and came across the following:

We installed the patch and it worked.

Is any one else have issues with interactive PDF output from InDesign CC (2014)

I am currently trying to produce a document with a level of interactivity I have achieved many times before.
The interactivity is just a web style menu, show/hide the menu shows button set one, clicking on those shows a second set of buttons, and clicking in one of those goes to destination page and hides all menu buttons once more.
When output from ID CC 2014 the result is loads of missing buttons and no working menu.
Its not a corrupt ID file. I tried a brand new empty file, recreated basic structure with simple one state buttons and achieved similarly useless results.
If I back save using IDML and open in CS5, export from there, it works beautifully, so problem is not as many have been recently, to do with Acrobat browsers.
If I back save and open in InDesign CC (not 2014), export from there, it doesn't work, so problem is shared there!
Anybody any suggestions? Experienced similar and found a cure?
SOLVED BY A COLLEAGUE:
You can (no longer) use full stops/decimal points in button naming. Menu was hierarchically labelled as 1, (1.1, 1.2), (1.1.1, 1.1.2) etc.
Renamed 1_1, 1_1_2 etc and all functionality has returned. Why you could and now you can't, who knows!
Hope this helps you if you stumble across here with the same issue.

Thank you for reporting this.
I would consider this a bug in InDesign CC v9.x and v10.x and would report it:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
(Cannot test it right now.)

Actual layout of PDF output from printer is very small
