Application launched from Windows using Unix Adobe Document Server Issue

Hello, Sample application is written to merge two or more pdf files using Adobe Document Server.The sample application is using Webservice and laucnhed from Winodows and the AdobeDocument Server is in Unix. I am getting following error: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: DON'T USE read()!!! at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.utils.FixedLengthInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager$RewindableInputStream.read(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.startEntity(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.startDocumentEntity(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.setInputSource(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.impl.webservice.parsers.SOAPParserBase.parse(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.impl.webservice.envelopes.ResponseEnvelope.parse(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.impl.webservice.methods.WebMethod.invokeRemotely(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.impl.webservice.ServerWebService.invokeWebMethod(Unknown Source) at com.adobe.altercast.sdk.impl.webservice.ServerWebService.execute(Unknown Source) at PDFMerge.merge(PDFMerge.java:364) The same application works when I launch from Unix, so I was guessing its the Pdf file paths in windows. I found the following link for UNC path issue for Adobe Document Server: http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/53397.htm The latest commands.xml file: The xml file for PDF Merge: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><commands> <loadContent source="file:///c:/pdf/test1.pdf" out="f1"/> <loadContent source="file:///c:/pdf/test2.pdf" out="f2"/> <assemblePDF> <document source="f1"/> <document source="f2"/> </assemblePDF> <saveContent name="file:///c:/pdf/test_merge_ts.pdf"/> </commands> Still I am having the same error mentioned above. I am using following piece of code to launch webservice: http://UnixServerName:8019/altercast/AlterCast Thanks in advance for any suggestion to resolve my issue. Sridhar

Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI

Summary : Could not save meta data of Interactive Form UI Element.
Affects : Web Dynpro project in DTR.
Severity: PDF template cannot be created.
Description:
01. An Interactive Form UI Element is inserted into a Web Dynpro view.
02. By right clicking on the element in the Outline window and selecting Edit, launches the Adobe Designer.
03. After designing the PDF template in Adobe Designer, when clicking Save All Metadata icon in the toolbar, it failed to save.
04. By closing and reopening the Adobe Designer, all work on the PDF template is lost.
Findings:
01. Whenever an Interactive Form UI Element is created in a Web Dynpro project in DTR, its associated value of templateSource property (in the Property window) is missing (empty).
02. This does not happen to local Web Dynpro project, where its templateSource property corresponds to an .xdp file (Adobe XML source file).
Does anyone know any way around this?

Hi All
well, I am facing the problem as well: When I change something in the interactive form, I cannot save it as "Save Metadata" remains grey. After closing and reopening, my changes have disappeared. I am using Netweaver 2004s with SPS 13. I tried Note 822198 which didn't help. Also I couldn't apply Josef's solution as the mentioned folder already existed.
I must say that I didn't have problems with adobe forms until I started using model nodes. Could this be the reason why there are suddenly issues? Now I can't even create a totally new webdynpro component (inside my project) from scratch where adobe interactive form is not corrupted.
Is there any other trick which might have worked with you? It would be very helpful if you had any ideas!
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards

PDF file compatibility between LiveCycle ES and Adobe Document Server V6.0

We currently are using Adobe PDF Generator V7.0 and Adobe Document Server V6.0. We generate PDF files (using PDF generator V7.0) from office documents and then add a coversheet, to the generated PDF, and fill some form data using the Adobe Document Server. Now we are upgrading to Office 2007 and for this we will need Adobe LiveCycle ES PDF Generator for PDF conversions. If we move to LiveCycle ES can we still use Adobe Document Server for merging PDF's, and filling form Data? i.e Is the PDF file generated by LiveCycle ES compatible with Adobe Document Server?? Will there be any problems with this combination?
We could as well use LiveCycle ES Document Output for merging PDF files and fill form data with LiveCycle ES Forms. We do'nt want to do this as this would mean we need to by additional licenses of the product. The functionality that could be carried out by Adobe Document Server alone requires two seperate LiveCycle ES products to be purchased.

Doc Server was replaced by Assembler so you would migrate to that and not Output. The Assembler is part of the foundation so I am not sure how it is priced when buying PDF/G. You need to speak to your sales rep about this.

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage -- Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.08) doesn't create thumbnail (bitmap) using Microsoft Interface IExtractImage --> Extract on Windows Server 2008 R2, when exe to generate thumbnail is launched from Windows service.
But if exe is launched as standalone, then interface IExtractImage --> Extract, gives Bitmap to generate thumbnail of PDF document.
Above problem occurs only for PDF documents, if we tried same with other software like CAD -CATIA it works without any problem.
Is there any security concerns form PDF side, which doesn't allow to generate Bitmaps, if exe to generate it is launched form Windows service.

Hi
Balamurali_Mohan,
Please refer to the similar thread
How to connect to unix server using c#
The marked answer said: Use a SSH (secure shell) client wrapper for .NET to connect to the remote UNIX machine and execute commands to run your script.
Have a look at:

Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?

Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?
I am new to SQL+ and just learned how to spool the file. But file is saved in my local windows enviroment and since it's 2GB in size...I want to spool it directly to another remote unix server.
Pls answer in detail... I have been to most of the thread and didn't see relevant answer to above question.
Am I suppose to develope some script which FTP the spool file directly to the server I want to
or
i Have to use UTL_FILE Package ?
Thanks for reply

You may not be able to...
SQL*Plus can only spool to the local machine. If you have mapped a directory on the Unix server from your Windows machine, you can specify that directory in your SPOOL command.
You could telnet to the Unix server, run SQL*Plus there, and spool the file to a local (Unix) directory.
If the Unix server is also the Oracle database server, you could use the UTL_FILE package rather than using SQL*Plus to spool a file.
If the Unix server is also an FTP server, you could also FTP the file from your local machine to the server.
Of course, I would tend to re-examine a requirement to regularly generate a 2 GB text file. It seems likely that there is a better way...

Ora-25215 from windows to unix - please help

I have successfully set up streams replication from unix to windows -- it works beautifully!
However, when I set up streams with a different set of tables going from windows to unix, I get the propagation error, "ora-25215: user_data type and queue type do not match"
I have been all over metalink and the internet trying to find a solution or explanation, and there is very little out there. I found a dozen hits on my metalink search on ora-25215 and one of them was "How to resolve ora-25215..." Alas, it really doesn't address a fix for simple streams, it goes into setting up a payload, etc...
Like I said, my unix to windows works like a charm, but unix to windows doesn't. By the way, my windows is 2k and my unix is solaris 8. Anyone have any ideas for what the problem is?
Thanks,
jimmy

Jimmy,
Make sure your propagation is configured correctly. It is also possible to get this error in Oracle9iR2 if you use the wrong queue name or schema when configuring propagation.

Migrating forms from Adobe Output Designer 5.5 to Adobe Document Server

Hi,
I have several form templates / layouts that have been created in Adobe Output Designer 5.5 (for mySAP) and I want to migrate these form templates so that they can been used in SAP Adobe Document Server.
Does anyone have any information on this? Any tools available? Documentation? Links?
cheers,
Joseph Gill
SAP Developer

I would think the common sense approach would be to upgrade to ECC 6 first then migrate your forms.
This seems to be just another step in the upgrade process.
We went from 4.7 to ECC 6, but only had Smartforms and SAPScripts. We wound up just re-creating the forms directly in Adobe.

Migrating database from windows to unix

Can anyone, please suggest me some reading on migrating a database from windows to unix? Thanks

Yes an export import is the most likely migration path you have. There is another option. You may install, just temporarily a 10g environment on the windows platform, then upgrade using the DBUA from 8i to 10g on the same platform. This way you will make sure you don't miss a piece of data during the migration process.
Once your database is at the 10g platform, you may proceed with a transport tablespace from 10g win to 10g unix. Violà, your database will be on the 10g platform.
Next, deinstall the windows temporary 10g installation.
Notes:
1. Make sure your 8i db is at the latest patchset available at 8i (8.1.7.4.0)
2. Define which unix platform you are referring to. It's because of endian issues.

Adobe Document Server (ADS): Unavailable for Purchase.

Hello All,
As per the recommendations from SAP in the GRC AC 10 guides, Adobe Document Server (ADS) should be installed for generating PDF reports. However, while searching this product online on the Adobe website, I find that this product is no longer available for fresh purchase. However, Adobe has recommended 3 other products which we could use as an alternative, which are:
PDF distillation and page assembly - Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES
Document formatting u2013 Adobe LiveCycle Output ES
Form data merge/extraction u2013 Adobe LiveCycle Forms ES
For details on this anouncement from Adobe, please refer to the link - http://www.adobe.com/products/server/documentserver/
Thus, would like to know, which one of these is recommended to go for. Any ideas and thoughts?
Thanks.
Hersh.
