Business Server is email pdf with a .dat extention after 8398280

Customer applied 8398280. After which ran into a few problems, one which is that when they schedule a report to run and send via email (that they had chosen to run as pdf) the attached file of the report gets sent with a .dat extention. If they save and change the extention to .pdf, then they can view the file just fine. Can anyone tell me how the name of the file with the extenion is being controled, and of course how to fix this so it gets sent with a .pdf extention?
thanks in advanced

I am experiencing the exact same issue...did you resolve this one? Hss anyone tried to reregister the report with a different name? Or recreating xml templates?

  • Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [e.g., with "@gov.ca"; Snow Leopard].

    Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [Snow Leopard].

    If you simply want to send the exact same message to everyone in your address book with emails ending in "@whatever.com", you can do the following:
    Create an email with subject, message and attachments but no addresses
    Open Address Book, All Contacts
    Search in Address Book for @whatever.com
    Select the results and drag them into the To: or Bcc: field of the email. If Bcc: then put your email address in the To: field.
    Send the email
    This will not personalize the emails (such as with "Dear firstname:" at the top of the message) but it will let you send an idential message to everyone who meets your criteria.

  • How can I populate a pdf with database data?

    How can I populate a pdf that we have on our server with database data on our server?

    Actually, if you export it in the right format then you won't need a script
    at all.
    You can import data directly into fields from a plain-text file via Tools -
    Forms - More Form Options - Import Data...
    I believe the format is tab-delimited with the field names in the first row
    and their values in the second.

  • Populating Existing PDF with XDP data

    I have a fill-in PDF that, in years past, used a simple XFDF file to populate. Using VS.NET 2010 I read in the XFDF document and populate all the necessary information and populate the PDF using ds.WriteXML(XFDFName). The PDF gets populated and it gets displayed in a simple WinForm app. This has worked like a champ for a few years now. Until now...
    This year, the problem I have run into is I was unable to export the data to an XFDF format due to the file having been created in Adobe LiveCycle. I noticed that the export options were either (1) XML or (2) XDP. In the past I'd been able to export to XFDF. No big deal I thought, just another format. However, I have been struggling with both of these options. After some deliberating I decided to use the XDP format.
    I have the dataset built with all of the information I need, I am receiving an error when opening the newly created XDP using Process.Start(XDPName). Reader opens and I am greeted with the following error: "Adobe Reader could not open 'GUID_HERE.xdp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
    I tried using a straight up href to the PDF (<pdf href="FillMeIn.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/">), but opted to stick the PDF in the XDP in the <chunk> section.
    This XDP file looks like this (thanks stack overflow):
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <?xfa generator='AdobeDesigner_V7.0' APIVersion='2.2.4333.0'?>
    <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp='http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/'>
        <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa='http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/'>
            <xfa:data>
                   XML is here - matching the dynamic fields in the PDF.
            </xfa:data>
        </xfa:datasets>
        <pdf xmlns=\"http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/\"><document>
           <chunk>
                        Base64 encoded PDF.
            </chunk>
        </document></pdf>
    </xdp:xdp>
    I would think the XDP I'm generating is bogus - but to further complicate things - if I open Reader click Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Manage Form Data > Import Data and choose the XDP file that I've generated, all the fields are populated as I expect them to be.
    So basically, there is obviously a disconnect somewhere. I have a XDP file with all the information in it I need. I have a PDF form that I need to populate with the XDP. But when I fire up the XDP Reader is telling me it's broken/not supported. As I understand it, when you launch an XDP file it should properly launch/populate using Reader, correct?
    Any information would help me out immensely. Thanks.

    Was the form you are trying to import this data to created with LiveCycle Designer?
    I would fill in the form then export the data to XDP and see what the differences are.

  • I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

    Hi,
    I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
    or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
    I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
    I know that reader extension can be
    1. cached
    2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
    3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
    Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
    I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
    You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
    I have a summary here:
    http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
    Also have a look at the Adobe page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
    Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Filling in pdf with FDF Data gives me square blocks

    Hi,
    I am trying to fill in a form with fdf data using pdftk but whenever I do, it gives me square characters instead of the actual text. Does anyone know why it does this?
    I am using Arial font

    Hi George, thanks for your help
    Here is the FDF:
    %FDF-1.2
    1 0 obj<</FDF<< /Fields[
    <</T(FIELD1)/V(BLAH)>>
    ] >> >>
    endobj
    trailer
    <</Root 1 0 R>>
    %%EOF
    I don't even have Helvetica on my computer
    EDIT: To be honest, I think it may have something to do with my PDF file, because I am trying to populate the fields using pdftk-php and it is doing the same thing.

  • PLSQL Server Pages (PSP): problems with viewing data

    Hello.
    I'm currently working at on-line shop and have some problems with viewing data from database. When there is no much inserts to table its working very well. But after inserting all Inserts I have its acting weird.
    Sample with 10 INSERTS:

    Sample with 100 INSERTS:
    http://gafgarion.atspace.com/psp/2.jpg
    I'm using Oracle 9i. when I have more data in my database its acting weird. There is SELECT only from one table, but sometimes I have data from other tables aswell.
    I didnt touch any config files or something else. Only created new User and DAD.
    any ideas what should I do to fix that ??
    thnx in advice

    Hello,
    My guess is that you are speaking about PLSQL Server Pages (PSP), and the PLSQL Web Toolkit.
    This is why I do not think that you will have lot of answer since this forum is targeted toward Web Services developer (XML, SOAP, and so on)
    I am inviting you to ask your question on the general Oracle Application Server - General or PLSQL forums.

  • Email PDF with a different filename

    Is it possible to submit the PDF via email with a different or custom filename? For example, if I am entering data in a file called myform.pdf, I click a submit button to send the filled pdf form via email, I would like the name of the PDF form to be something like COMPANYA.PDF where COMPANYA comes from a text field I have on the form.

    Hi Kimberly,
    Under Adobe LiveCycle Designer,
    go to topic "Submit by Email function" at:
    Glenn Cauley, "Submit by Email function" #50, 19 Jun 2007 6:34 am
    People have very kindly given the code & instructions for the "Submit by Email" button. I used it and it works great!

  • Export PDF with additional data

    I would like to add a button on the toolbar next to the PDF button.
    Which would export a pdf to a path then call a script to which we can send META data with,like order number, business partner nr. etc.
    Where can one add a icon and write a function for this?

    Hello,
    Best of my known you cannot add a new item into the toolbar. it is not implemented in UI API, so not possible.

  • Unable to print FrameMaker 9 file to PDF with Acrobat Data

    I'm trying to print a FrameMaker 9 file to PDF, but the "Generate Acrobat Data" field and the PDF Setup button are both disabled - meaning I cannot select or unselect either. How can I get these re-enabled?

    Jeff, yes, it happens with all our files. FYI, we have 5 networked computers with FM and this is happening on all our computers too. The latest patch we have is p196. Do you think that could cause the problem?
    Arnis, I double checked the printer. I got to a screen that looks similar to yours and it does say Adobe PDF Converter driver. But it's interesting that you say this is what happens when it detects a non-postscript printer. Could the driver be corrupt or something?

  • Email pdf with hyperlink

    Hi,
    I am trying to email an optimized pdf file with hyperlinks. The links work and show up when I am in Acrobat (version - Prof. 9.0), but when i email the pdf they do not show up in the email. My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email (so u don't have to actually open any programs) with the links active, so when reading the email you can move your cursor over it and the link will show as active. Hope that makes sense, in essence it's basically an email blast, but for some reason my links aren't showing up in the final email. I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    >My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email
    Impossible to assure that with all users. Many may have their email client set to show it as an attachment only.

  • Business Server not getting associated with XI

    Hi
    I am just wondering why the "associate with XI" button doesnt associate a Integration server with XI. This is in the SLD ->System Landscape directory->Business system->integration Tab.
    So, when i goto the RWB , i find the Integration Server and IE disabled . Clearly the problems is with no Integration server being asociated with tthe BS.

  • Rendering PDF with Windows.Data.Pdf and allowing text selection

    Hi there,
    I need to render a PDF and allow the user to select text on the PDF.
    As I see, Windows.Data.Pdf does not support more than returning an image.
    Even so, how can I achieve my goal? The Windows 8 app "Reader" has this capability but I don't understand how it works.
    BTW: I have tested other renderers but they have rendering issues with some complex PDF content (complex: RTL).
    Thanks,
    Lidan

    Hi Lidan,
    Unfortunately, the built-in PDF feature has not provided select text on the PDF. You can send your request on UserVoice to ask public that API.
