b and /b xml tags displayed in pdf

hi Experts,
I am using 10.1.3.3.2
I am displaying the fillter view along with the report on the dashboard. When I generate the pdf (printer friendly -> PDF) for that, the dates between filter condition is showing the <b>and</b> tags around 'and' instead of displaying 'and' in bold.
I.e it is displayed as- Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010* <b>and</b>*31/07/2010*
while it should be-
Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010 and 31/07/2010*
In the html view it is correct. The problem is in pdf.
Has anyone got a solution for removing the <b>and</b> tags?

The problem is pdf format will display HTML tags. If you want to get rid of the tags, rewrite your "between" filter like this:
Maturity Date >= 01/07/2010
And
Maturity Date <= 31/07/2010
The "And" here will not display with the HTML tags when you save the report to pdf.

Concurrent porgram warning out and showing XML data rather than PDF.

Hi All,
I have a XML report which should produce output in PDF.
But when i submit for certain parameters the program is ending in Warning
and in xml output it gives following error
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://.............

The actual value Luminaire colour: SW302F Gris 900 SablÂÂÂÂÂ
Because of these junk chracters this issue is raising. But THE THING I AM NOT UNDERSTANDING IS. The same value in other report is getting printed without any warning.
Please through any ideas.

Hi,
In the report where I have no issues with the junk characters the Encoding format is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
In the report where I am getting this issue have following format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Please let me know , what should I do now or where should I change this to get that output with out warning or invalid character issue.
I use Report builder 10g and XML publisher for the RTF templates.
Thanks.

How can i find and replace xml tags?

Hi, i am using xml in my workflow and want to be able to remove certain tags if they contain particular text.
here is an example of my xml structure…
<entry>
    <name>DEFAULT</name>
    <tel>DEFAULT</tel>
    <address>DEFAULT</address>
</entry>
I am using this initial structure to set the paragraph styles to be followed when the xml data is imported.
This leaves DEFAULT in place wherever an entry doesn't have any content for that field.
I want to be able to import my XML then run a script that removes any tags that include DEFAULT, - I need the entire xml tag to be removed not just the text, if i do a normal find and replace it will only remove the text not the tags which is causing problems with styling. I also want to remove the end of para/return (^p) that i've placed at the end of the line. So it would be the same as opening up story editor and removing the content + tags + hard return in there, but i want to automate the process…
So i think this is what i need to search for in each case
"<name>DEFAULT</name>^p"
and i want to replace it with nothing ""
Can this be done through scripting (ideally javascript)?
I have a little knowledge of javascript but am not sure how to search and target that kind of string in indesign...
using indesign cs5
many thanks

Hi,
Script should do it in two steps:
1. find all occurences of i.e. ">DEFAULT<"
2. remove whole paragraph which is a found_text's container.
For example this way -JS - (a textFrame filled with your text should be selected) :
var mStory = app.selection[0].parentStory;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = ">DEFAULT<";
var myF = mStory.findText();
var count = myF.length;
while (count--)
     myF[count].paragraphs[0].remove();

Search for, edit, and delete XML tag (Adobe InDesign Server CS5)

Hi all,
I'm working with Indesign Server CS5 and JavaScript, though having some trouble coming up with a solution to a problem...
I need to build a JS script (called through SOAP) that will enable me to search an InDesign file for a given XML tag.
Upon finding the XML tag, if the 'action' variable is set to delete, it should delete the tag and its contents.
If the action is set to edit, it should change the contents of the tag to some user-specified content.
The primary caveat is that the XML tag is variable, as is the XML structure of the InDesign file.
Here's what I have in mind, in pseudocode:
function findXMLTag(tag, action) {
     app.searchForTag(tag);
     if (tagIsFound) {
          if (action == "delete") {
               tag.delete;
          } else if (action == "edit") {
               tag.contents = "Updated content";
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben Kay

'searchForTag' can be implemented as a recursive function.
Recursion is defined like this: I thought, "I'll just search this forum for 'recursion'." The first post I found was one of my own, suggesting that the poster should search the forum for 'recursion'.
Here is an example: find the XML Element [<email>]
And another: Remove xml element using JS[CS3] (read carefully, as the OP got stuck on how to successfully remove an element and continue)
And one, using XML Rules -- which I'm totally unfamiliar with, but may work for you: Changing Values in XML tags

Formating and calculating xml tag value

I have an xml file that holds xml tag such as <weight>.55 kg</weight>
I want to have two outputs:
Output 1) Output to print: 0.55
Output 2) Output to print 0.8 of the xml tag value (0.55 * 0.8) : 0.44
I was able to get the Output 1) by using <?format-number:weight;'9G990D00'?>
However, I can not get the Output2) as expected.
If I put <?format-number:(weight)*0.8;'9G990D00'?>,
I get the error message "Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Cannot convert .55 kg to number."
Appreciate any help on how to solution for Output2)

If that is the case then try using

Help: HMTL tags displays in PDF

I created a report and displaying it as PDF. The data coming from the database has HTML tags which is being displayed in the PDF output. I would like these tags to be interpreted instead of displaying.
When I display the report as HTML, it works ok (tags doesn't display).
How can I get these HTML tags interpreted instead of displaying.
Thanks.

At present, this is not supported in the PDF output.
However, This feature is targeted for the upcoming release.

How do you make XML tags display differenty than content?

I am using Structured FM for the first time (prior experience is Epic Editor) and I am using it with SiberSafe. I cannot locate anywhere in Help or on the toolbar a feature that enables me to "turn on/off" tags from displaying. What I see is all text, with no font/color differentiation for the tags. Does FM 9 enable users to do this? And if so, how do I do this? Thanks!!

What I mean, what I am looking to do in Adobe is discern actual content from tags, as displayed on the screen. Currently in FrameMaker, and unlike Epic Editor, all of the tags and content appear the same - same font type, same font color. This makes it harder to read and differentiate between the tags (even though they are in brackets) and content which slows down my progress. If I could make all tags a different color, that would help tremendously.

Q: How to access and modify xml tags using Java

I have an xml based document that i need to access and change. For example, the code
<section id="section1">
<div>
<xforms:group id="id1">
<xforms:label id="label1">
<l style="font-size:16pt"> something </l>
</xforms:label>
</xforms:group>
</div>
</section>
Working with Java I need to access all the tags, select some of them that are relevant to the current device and remade the document. I thought I would read the file character by character identifying the different labels and building a tree, storing in the tree nodes the relevant information as some kind of attributes (for example, in the case of the <xforms:group id="id1"> I would name the node "xforms:group" and create an "id" attribute with value "id1"). I'm not sure if that is the most efficient way of accessing the problem (computational power might be an issue), and would appreciate some help on the subject.
Thanks,

this may help you..
this is a little util i made to help me read/write files.
using this, you are only one step away from your solutions, you only need to figure out the regex you need to run on the text of the file to make it become what you need it to become.

Search and Replace XML TAG using JAVA

Hi All,
I have an XML file, say RESULT.XML Which has about 30000 Lines (yes Thirty Thousand ). For some reason i need to replace an existing tag with a different tag(not the value inside the tag, But the tag itself) . I am facing a challenge. I will explain it as below.
I have a csv file which has 2 values as given below
<VALUE A> , <VALUE B>
where <VALUE A> is an existing node in the RESULT.XML and <VALUE B> is the node that should replace <VALUE A> in the RESULT.XML
i have 500 such entries in the file.
Now i need to write a program to read the csv file, Search <VALUE A> in the RESULT.XML and Replace it with <VALUE B> of the csv file.
please let me know how do i start with this.
I really want to fix this issue.
Existing Node = <Product ID="role (contact) 3" UserTypeID="Product Number">_
To be changed to = <Product ID= role (contact)3" UserTypeID="Product Number">_
please reply if you need any further information
Thanks in Advance
Manzoor

Sounds like a job for XSLT or Perl not Java though it can be done in Java. In Java I would initially try
1) Read the csv file using one of the many free CSV parsers and build a Map<String,String>.
2) Create a Rewriter using the map keys as targets and use the map values as replacements.
3) Read the XML file line by line and process each line with the Rewriter.
4) Save each line to an output file.
For a one-off task this would probably serve but it could prove very slow if you need to run this on a daily basis.

CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table. There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table. I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
The code for creating the PDF is:
        Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
        Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
        Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
        objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
        For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
        Next
        Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
        Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
        Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
        objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
        objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
        objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
        objReport.Dispose()
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
Please help!

Hi Don,
I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP. However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
I'll let you know how that works.

Figure titles and numbering do not display in PDF

when I convert my ditamap into a FM book to get the PDF, figures loose their numbering and titles.
In addition, this generates a number of broken x-refs (those that point to the figure titles)
Txs
Arianna

Hi Arianna...
What version of FM are you using?
When I do this in FM9 using a test file with the default DITA-Topic-FM structure application, it seems to be working fine. Have you modified the structure application or are you using a custom structure app? In general the default Save Map to PDF process should give you exactly what you see in the topic files.
If you close and reopen the topic file with the xref to the figure, is the xref still there in FM?
Note that in general you should be making a figure cross-ref to the fig element not the title element (just like when you cross-ref a topic you point to the topic not the title).
Tell me more about what you're doing and what you're seeing and I can try to help.

PDF PO Release - XML Tags for the Header and Line Attachments

Hi,
I request you to please help me in finding out the XML tags for the PDF PO Release Header and Line Attachments? I tried to get the XML data by running the 'PO Output for Communication' program with the parameter as 'Debug' but its completing normally without giving me the XML data in the log file.
Please help me in finding the XML tags for the PDF PO Release for the Header and Line Attachments.
Thanks,
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
Following syntax will get you the header and line level short and long text attachments.
--Header short text attachments
<?for-each:HEADER_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Header long text attachments
<?for-each:/PO_DATA/HEADER_ATTACHMENTS/LONG_TEXT?>
     <?.?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line short text attachments
<?for-each:LINE_SHORT_TEXT_ROW?>
     <?SHORT_TEXT?>
<?end for-each?>
--Line long text attachments
<?variable@incontext:PoLnID;'PO_LINE_ID'?><?for-each:/PO_DATA/LINE_ATTACHMENTS/ID[. =$PoLnID]?>
     <?current()[$PoLnID]/preceding-sibling::TEXT[1]?>
<?end for-each?>
Also note that, while running the program in Debug mode for a particular PO/Release the status should be INCOMPLETE, otherwise you won't be able to see the XML tags.
Thanks,
PS.

Indesign Javascript, find xml tag from cursor position

Hi All,
I have a single textframe with multiple xml tags within formated by paragraph and character styles.
I want to access the xml tag attribute of the xmltag, related to my first 5 characters....
How to do it?
Or second approch, i need to find first and last xml tag on the page.

Try this (second approach),
Select any text frame and try the below code:
alert(app.selection[0].lines[0].words[0].associatedXMLElements[0].markupTag.name)\\first XML tag
alert(app.selection[0].lines[-1].words[-1].associatedXMLElements[0].markupTag.name)\\second XML tag

How can I replace a text/range of text enclosed in a XML tag

I want to replace a piece of text enclosed inside a XML tag in a text frame.
In my input parameters, I have the In-design document page number, text frame UID in that page and the XML tag name inside that text frame
which encloses my old text.
what command/function/interface can I use which can help me to replace the existing text with the input text ?
eg:
[old text] -----> [new text]
where [ ] is XML tag with name tag1.

After some trail and POC, I was able to write the below piece of code.
This detects the starting and ending position of the marker and based on that we can replace the text inside it. Hope it helps.
InterfacePtr<IDocumentSignalData> data(signalMgr, UseDefaultIID());
        if (data == nil)

//Get the spread
InterfacePtr<ISpreadList> spreadList(doc, UseDefaultIID());
int32 spreadCount = spreadList->GetSpreadCount();
for ( int32 spreadIndex = 0; spreadIndex < spreadCount; spreadIndex++ )
// Get the spread reference
UIDRef spreadUIDRef(db, spreadList->GetNthSpreadUID(spreadIndex));
// Get the spread object
InterfacePtr<ISpread> spread(spreadUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
