Batch.bat unable to generate PDFs with FM11 trial version & Elmsft 5.2 trial

Hi,
I am evaluating the trial version of Fm11 and FrameScript 5.2 (Elmsft) to generate PDFs using a Batch.bat file. I am able to generate stand alone PDFs with FM11. Now, I have created a Batch.bat file which calls BooksToPDF.fso and a filelist.txt, which contains the list of .book files. This script should work to generate PDFs. This is not working, the script is unable to open FM11 trial version, error message reads: "unable to connect to FrameMaker-open FrameMaker manually". Can anyone help?
Is there any other way to generate multiple PDFs in one go with Fm11.
Regrads,
Himani

Himani,
If you want to just create PDFs from FM via the command line, then using one of the available FM batch utilities might be an easier route.
Check out:
DZbatcher at: http://www.miramo.com/english/overview/download.html
runfm as part of mif2go and is fully functional in the mif2go demo. See: http://mif2go.com/xhtml/runfm_0002_363understandingrunfmcommandlinesyntax.htm#Rz134x44547

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

Where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

I don't think it's available yet. The English help page has a link to it:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:

Same for DE, FR, ES. Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

I see no problem with your batch file, and the messages
proceed properly. To troubleshoot this further, I suggest
you read the email (currently adjacent) titled:
"Error using MIF doclet to create PDFs".
It describes several different approaches, including
generating PS and using Distiller to generate PDF,
or trying dzbatcher with -v option to echo each
command to see where it stops.
Please let us know your results, as this seems to be
a common problem.

Is it possible to generate PDF with "enable for commenting" from AI?

I am using Illustrator CS5 and have Acrobat 9 Pro on a Mac. I would like to generate PDF's with "enabled for commenting" feature on.
I was able generate a PDF from CS5 -> open it in Acrobat 9 Pro -> enable commenting -> Save as new PDF
I prefer to skip the above mannual step and generate the PDF with commenting enabled directly from Illustrator. Any ideas?

Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't support batch processing to "enable for commenting" feature. I can batch generate the PDFs from AI but will have to manually convert each PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro....(sucks!!!)
Another option is that I get a Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows - install LiveCycle - tranfer my AI generated PDFs (mac) to windows and use batch processing feature of LiveCycle to convert the PDFs into "enable for commenting" (sucks less!!!)
I would love to hear any other option available.

Hi,
I have tried this code but stil the same.
However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
So i guess that is the memory size problem.
Thanks for this
One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
I have set in catalina.bat as
set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
and CRConfig as
<JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
<JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
1. Is that the correct setting.?
2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
    then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory

How to generate PDF with bookmarks?

Hi,
The business request is to have pdf report with bookmarks. There is no predefined bookmark object in Livecycle Designer/SFP so my idea is to add some scripting to the form to generate bookmarks dynamically. I defined a standard pdf form with several lines of JavaScript embedded. The script is running in the form preview in Livecycle Later I was testing the form by calling its function module and looking at the generated PDF file. Unfortunately it seems there is no script embedded in the final output PDF generated by ADS.
Is Javascript supported in pdf forms? Do I need to perform any additional operations to enable the Javascipt? Do I need to pass additional parameters to ADS? I tested the following settings:
       fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
       fp_docparams-DYNAMIC = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFTAGGED = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFCHANGESRESTRICTED = ' '.
I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi Lata,
May be there is some error in the JavaScript code written.
Sometimes if there is an error in JavaScript then from where the error occurs from there the JavaScript wont work in the Adobe Form.
To check whether JavaScript contains errors or not. You just simply open your Adobe Acrobat Reader goto Edit in that goto Preferences and in that Select "JavaScript" in that you find the JavaScript Debugger there you enable "Show Console on errors and messages".
This may help you in some way or the other.

Cannot generate PDF with RH10

I have searched the forum and Peter Grainge's site and not found a solution to this problem that worked.
I have a new installation of RH10 on Windows 7 sp1. It was installed as a trial and then licensed. I do not have the complete Adobe Acrobat -- only the add-on that was installed with RH.
I used RoboHelp HTML to create a simple webhelp project and attempted to generate a PDF from it with the single source layout for Printed Documentation. The following error occurred:

RoboHelp can successfully create a PDF of a single topic. It can create a PDF with Review > Create PDF for Review. It can successfully create a doc from this project, and Word is able to save that doc as a pdf.
RH can open the projects that it created but cannot open the sample projects. The sample directories are read-only and I cannot reset them. I do not know why.
I uninstalled RH and reinstalled it. The problem is still occurring.
I am baffled. I am an inexperienced RH user so the problem might be a simple one. I would be grateful for any advice.
Best wishes,
Juliette Curtis

I was also facing this issue and got the same error. After much trial and error I found the following solution. So sharing that here. ( I am not sure whether this works for all the use cases. But in my case it worked. I am using Windows 7, RH11, and MS Office 2010.)
Open any Office application. (I opened Word)
Open File > Options > Add-Ins. (You will be able to manage your add-ins from this tab. When I browsed through the list I found the "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM" Addin was with the list of "Disabled Application Add-Ins")
Select "Disabled items" from the Manage list. (This list is available at the bottom of the Add-Ins tab)
Click Go. The Disable Items window is displayed.
Select "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" from the list.
Click Enable.
Click Close. The "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" is moved to the list of "Active Application Addins".
Close MS word.
Now when you generate the Printed Documentation output from RH11, the error mentioned in the query is not appearing and a PDF output is generated.
Hope this solution will help.

Generate pdf with apex listener 2.0

hi,
we would like to generate pdf out of apex.
as long as we have text (IRR) WITHOUT special characters (öäü), everything is working fine.
when we have this characters in a text-columng (IRR), then we get a .pdf with the following content:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x3) was found in the element content of the document.
could this be a problem of the characterset? but if, where to change what?
- we defined in ADMIN in 'report printing' / 'instance-settings': oracle-apex-listener
- we are working with apex-listener 2.0 (integrated in weblogic-server)
- we work with APEX 4.2.1.00.08
thanks for any ideas

Unable to open PDFs with CR in the file name or folder name?

We are unable to open any PDFs with capital CR in the title of the document or if they are stored in a folder with CR in the name of it. This is quite a large problem as we are a CRC (Cooperative Research Centre) and need to use this in most file and folder names.

Can you please update to the latest version of Adobe Reader available i.e. 10.1.4 (By clicking on Help > Check For Updates from within the Reader application). This should fix your issue.

Generating PDF with XML and XSL

Hi, quick basic question...
I'm trying to generate pdf doc from xml with xsl.
I'm using following sample code from xml.apache.org
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Driver driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance()
.newTransformer(new StreamSource("foo.xsl"));
transformer.transform(xmlsource, new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
xmlSource is my regular xml that wants to be pdf.
is foo.xsl any regular xsl that I use to coonvert xml into html?
or is it some special xsl that is tailored for pdf.
Is this what is called xsl-fo?
Thanks
IL

Hi IL,
XSLT can translate XML to something else. It is most suited to transforming to another tree-like format (XML, HTML, etc.) but can be 'asked' to produce other kinds of output, flat text for example.
It is driven by an XSL file which is a series of patterns to match and output to produce.
This XSL file can be used to generate another XML document in which the nodes come from the Formatting Object namespace. These describe, in generic terms the format of an output document based upon the contents of the original XML.
The formatting object XML document can then be used as input to a formatting object XML processor which can generate PDF output from it.
You may want to check out:
www.w3c.org
for all the stuff on XML, XSL, XSLT, Formatting Objects, etc., and:
xml.apache.org
for imformation on Xalan, which is an XSL processor and FOP, which is a formatting object processor.
Hope that helps,
Peter.

Generating PDF with Flex App (swf) embedded

Hi,
Does anyone has the experience in developing a Flex Application that is to be
embedded into a PDF and open in the Reader/Acrobat for data capturing?
How to embed the Flex Application (swf) into a PDF in a Livecycle process?
With the XML data prepopulated into the PDF (embedded with a schema) and
accessible by the Flex Application when open in Reader/Acrobat.
Users will still be able to save the data filled in the Flex Application into the PDF
and also to generate a XML data (with data capturing in the Flex App) to be
submitted back to the server.
How can these be achieve? Any example?
Thanks alot.

Just wondering, am I in the correct section of the forum? it seems like most of the discussions listed here are related to form designing rather than form rendering.
I know this is FORMS ES section, just that i come across something that might related to the topic.
Has anyone try out Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2 new features?
Based on Adobe Upgrade Center http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/upgrade/pdfgenerator.html, it mentioned that PDF Generator ES2 has the ability to embed SWF files in PDF.
But is this also applicable to Flex Application compiled SWF file?
Does the generated PDF function as a normal interactive form?
Able to retain its embedded schema and objects (scripts)?
I will try to install LC ES2 to try out but need sometime to setup the system, really appreciate if someone can give me a head start.
Thanks.

Unable to open PDFs with AR 11.0.9 on MacBook Pro due to updates.

Beginning in early Sept. 2014, unable to open PDFs from trusted sources on MacBookPro (MBP) OS 10.9.4 running current AR 11.0.9. Previously, these documents could be downloaded and opened. Interestingly, an iMAC running OS 10.7.5 running AR 10.1.2 can download and open these PDFs. PDFs created by MBP or received via email can be opened. AR on MBP has been uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Suggestions? Please ... no "go insert this code" responses.

Hi MBP User,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall. Is this issue reproducible on other machines, if you have around you.

Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
Many thanks!
O.

Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).
