APEX on Oracle XE PDF printing produces: Format error: not a PDF or corrupted.

Dear fellow Apexers and Oracle Gurus,
I have the following configuration:
Oracle XE 11gR2
APEX 4.2.3.00.08
Listener 2.0.5
On this setup I can create workspaces and applications as I please.
Now I want to print a PDF report.
I have set up PDF printing to "Oracle Listener" in the "manage Instance" settings in the instance administration.
I have created a classical report on the EMPLOYEES table (Select * from EMPLOYEES)
and enabled PDF printing in the "Printing" area of the "Print Attributes" of the page.
When I run the page I do get the "print" link on the bottom of the page.
Clicking the link does produce a .PDF but showing this file triggers an error in my PDF reader: Format error: not a PDF or corrupted.
Opening the .PDF file in a text editor reveals the corrupt content.
%PDF-1.4
%ª«¬
Unknown function: gatherContextInfo
The same setup works fine and produces the expected PDF file with the report on the following configuration:
Oracle Vbox with Developer days image;
DB 11gR2
Upgraded to apex 4.2.3.00.08
Listener 2.0.5
Since the PDF shows "unknown function" I suspected the XE configuration to lack some of the necessary rights, maybe I forgot to configure the ACLs correctly.
So I compared the ACL info on both configurations. Alas,.. on both machines they return the same result..
SQL> SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
HOST         LOWER_PORT    UPPER_PORT    ACL
localhost    null          null           /sys/acls/local-access-users.xml
*            null          null           /sys/acls/power_users.xml
SQL> select * from dba_network_acl_privileges
ACL                                  PRINCIPAL      PRIVILEGE   IS_GRANT    INVERT
/sys/acls/local-access-users.xml     APEX_040200    connect     true        false
/sys/acls/power_users.xml            APEX_040200    connect     true        false
Anyone any idea why this works fine on the Vbox and not on the local XE configuration?
Any hint or answer as to where the problem might be is appreciated
TIA
Wouter

I'm having the same issue. I'm using Oracle XE 11gR2 as well. I've tried with APEX 4.2.2 and APEX 4.2.4. I have set up the Oracle Listener in instance settings and set the report to print and I have the same result as you. Have you had any progress yet?
Thanks
Jason

SGD 4.6 - PDF Printing on Windows Clients not working

Dear all
Installed SGD 4.6 with Win2008 Terminal Server.
PDF printing works from Mac clients, but not from Windows XP.
Is this a known issue?
kind regards
Werner

Please be aware of the following:

New Default PDF Printer Driver for Windows Applications
The default printer driver used for Portable Document Format (PDF) printing from Windows application servers is now HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS. This change was made to provide support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 application servers.
In previous releases, the default PDF printer driver was HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS. If you are upgrading from an installation that uses this printer driver, SGD is reconfigured automatically to use the new default printer driver. If you are upgrading from an installation where you have configured SGD to use a different printer driver, your existing configuration is preserved on upgrade. If you are using using Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows XP application servers, the new default printer driver results in the PDF printer not being mapped.

Can print PS file but not make PDF

Printing to a PostScript printer with a customized PostScript driver in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is what we do every day, but when we print the same job to a PS file we can't make a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4. What can we do to make a PDF? Here is the error message from Distiller:
Processing prologue.ps...
Done processing prologue.ps.
%%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice; ErrorInfo: InputAttributes --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
-dict-
-save-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
If I knew what to edit in the PS file to make it print a PDF, that would be one workaround. But I'm very curious why our printer (HP LaserJet 4050 with a Level 2 PostScript emulator) will print a file that Distiller won't process. Here is the only place in the PS file that mentions setpagedevice:
/manualfeed true put usertime 5000 add {dup usertime lt {pop exit} if} loop <</InputAttributes <<31<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
0 13200 10200 _ornt
"612 792" is, of course, the page size in points
Trying to make the PDF from the the PS file that was meant for another PostScript printer (HP LaserJet 2200D), we get the same Distiller error message. This time the PS file contains:
letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
0 13200 10200 _ornt
This passage from the 2nd attempt has much in common with the first PS attempt. What does Distiller mean by the InputAttributes having "nostringval"? What stringval would work?
By substituting this from an uncustomized driver that does work,
letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
0 13200 10200 _ornt
and by removing an offending command BRst, a PDF is created. But it doesn't have any of the special fonts that were downloaded. Still, that's progress.

Thank you. The first line of the PS file is "%!PS-Adobe", so I conclude that the origin of the uncustomized PostScript driver was Adobe; WordPerfect Corp. supplied it to purchasers of their software. Uncustomized (except for new Type 3 fonts), the PostScript driver still works splendidly for creating PS files that are easily distilled into PDFs. We only use Adobe software for this purpose.
By editing parts of the problem PS file I am just now able to get the PDF. But it requires replacing the following on every page:
letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
with this:
letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
I will continue working these codes. It ought to be possible to get paging codes that are less laborious to replace or otherwise get working, and obviously some of the codes can be eliminated.
We're not in a position to give up our highly customized driver for mathematical logic printing on paper until a volume of historical text is finished. Smoother produced PDFs must be possible for an electronic edition.
The other snag I mentioned, "BRst", came from a text file of "pskeys" that was to be downloaded with the job. It works when I simply insert pskeys.txt into the PS file.

Reader 9.3 produces Runtime error for all .pdf files on hard drive and email

Does anyone have a resource that can show me how to eliminate a runtime error with Reader 9.3.1, Windows XP w/ SP3 and IE7. I have recently had all .pdf files located on my hard drive and in emails refuse to open because of this message:
"Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
So far, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 9.3 from the website; added update 9.3.1 and tried to reopen files with no success.
My organization sends a ton of .pdf files and it is not good when you can't open them for review and action.

Hi All,
Although I don't normally post in forums, I thought it prudent to lay this matther to rest. I have tested the following solution:
It appears that Adobe Reader likes to check access to each parent folder as well as the actual application data folder. Apparantly there are other programs that also do similar things. As a result if you have your appdata redirected to \\server1\profiles\%username%\appdata adobe reader would first try directly access \\server1\profiles. If the user does not have to Traverse folder permission, this fails. Typically you will need to change your permissions on you profile share from:
-                   Users - Read Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Extended Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                  Users - Create Folders/Append Data (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Permissions (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
To the share permissions suggested by Microsoft in KB 274443:
-                   Everyone - Create Folder/Append Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - List Folder/Read Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Read Attributes (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Traverse Folder/Execute File (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
Hopefully this helps everyone.

CFREPORT Fails to produce formatted report, i.e., PDF

What can I do to restore the CFREPORT Output to normal allowed formats? I have had reports working without error for FIVE YEARS and suddenly the now the report output for LARGE datasets produces ONLY the Symbolic language of the selected FORMAT, i.e., PDF, FalshPaper, etc. Small datasets produce the report; large datasets dump a query and then display the "gobble-de-****" language of the format elected.

/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed
if i open up the same document with preview, it prints fine. i updated my printer software, and reinstalled adobe reader with no change. what gives?

Distiller produces log file, not a pdf

I'm trying to create a PDF from a quark file and getting this:
%%[ Error: ioerror; OffendingCommand: charpath ]%%
It's only happening with one file, but it's one pretty important file.
I tried created a ps file, putting it on another computer (identical computer) and it PDF'd perfectly...which leads me to believe it's a problem with Distiller, not the file.
Any thoughts?
Working in Mac 10.5.5, Distiller 8.1.2, Quark 7.3

>But wouldn't it indicate the bad font in the log?
Not in general, no.
>
>Also, there appears to be no rhyme or reason: we work from templates. All of the pages come from the same quark templates and use the same fonts; some will pdf, others won't.
It's all there is to go on in the log.
>
>And again, when I brought the ps file to another computer, Distiller PDF'd it fine.
Local font files could be relevant.
>
>I tried removing the art, too, which didn't work either.
The art it won't be. "charpath" is a PostScript instruction directly
related to text. (Unless it is art in the shape of a character, or
some such).
Try dropping all the text from this document. If it works now, you can
use divide and conquer techniques to isolate the problem.

Since installing Reader XI I have no .pdf file extension so can not open PDFs. How to fix?

ce

For the record I fixed this problem by going into Reader and running the repair program. This brought up the .pdf extension in addition to the .pdfxml extension which was all I had before

The key to getting the iPod to install is to follow the instructions exactly (which you said that you did).
Try this:
DO NOT leave the iPod Connected to PC.
Fully charge the iPod on ac before you start.
1) Unistall the iPod software from the PC, reboot and install the iPod software.
2)Reset the iPod.
3) Run the Updater but do not connect the iPod until the Updater prompts you to do so.
If this fails repeat from step two, but before connecting the iPod put it into disk mode.
Also when the iPod is connected check that windows can see the iPod and that it has allocated a sensible drive letter to it (i.e. not A: - C:, not a letter used by any other device and not a letter used to map a network drive). If the iPod is using an inappropriate drive letter use Windows Disk Management to allocate a more sensible (and unused) drive letter perhaps I:.

You click on a .pdf file; Firefox won't load and says "not a pdf or corrupted," but all other browsers open it normally

Clicking on a link to a .pdf file in Firefox results in Firefox displaying the box "Format error: not a .pdf or corrupted"
This has happened for several years with any number of web pages. A link to the latest event is below, but it typically happens almost every time I click on a link to a .pdf

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check

Apex PDF printing in 11g

Dear,
I have Oracle 11g and APEX in Win XP machine. EM also configured.
To get PDF printing in APEX, I should install Apache FOP.
As per the document for PDF printing configuration, I am not getting the EM console for OC4J. (for reports and forms, OC4J is available in the same machine)
So I should install Standalone OC4J (in the same machine). My doubts are
Is OC4J 10g Standalone enough for Oracle 11g? (I could not find a OC4J 11g download)
From documnets I found that this OC4J installation will install one HTTP server also. Is this conflict with any of the settings for EM or APEX?
Is the EM which will be installed with OC4J standalone conflict with already installed EM for database? Or any method is there to use the Database EM for OC4J also?
How to find out JAVA_HOME and J2EE_HOME?
All these installation I made using the OTN downloads.
with regards
-mathews

Hi Mathews
This looks much easier than the manual configuration that I had to do.
To get to the OC4J config.......
Login to your App Server EM
Depending on what tier it is you will have various system components such as HTTP_Server, Web_Cache, home etc...
Click on home, to display OC4J page
Click on Applications
Click on Deploy WAR file
You should then be able to follow the rest of the instructions in the document.
cheers,
Ron

Create PDF report with APEX and Oracle 11g doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the downloading of PDF reports from APEX with Oracle 11g.
When I try to download a PDF, Acrobat Reader says it can not open the file.
I have done the same test in an environment with APEX and Oracle 10g and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know if there is a known bug for version 11g.
Thank you very much.

Hi Munky,

An error occurred. Consult your application/system administrator for support. Programmers should consider setting the init-param <code>debug_mode</code> to "true" to see the complete exception message.</BODY></HTML>
I have not idea can I solve the problem.
Have you got any solution for this problem??
Thank you so much.

Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.
