Buttons showing up in .pdf files

Is there a problem in Reports 6i displaying a button in a .pdf? It keeps bombing out when I try to have a button in my report.
Thanks!!!!

Kris,
I think Danny has already answered your question. When you generate a report with a button to PDF, the button shows up
only as static image. What you can do is set the hyperlink property of the button. On the generated PDF, the button's image
will serve as a link now. To be able to drill down this way, you can specify a link for a CGI request in the hyperlink property.

"Sumbit Email" button, and generating a pdf file

I would like to use the SUMBIT EMAIL button to send a pdf file of the completed form. I understand that is sends a data file, that has to be imported back into the form template on the other end.
Is there a way to autmoate this process, or jsut simply send the completed form in pdf format?
Thanks,
Rich

In order to email the filled-out PDF with the data in it, you need to be able to save the form.
Reader only allows you to save an empty form...if you try to save a filled-out form you will lose
all of the data you entered into it. For this reason, you need one of two options...
1) Purchase Adobe Acrobat for all of the sales people. Acrobat will allow you to save and submit a
filled-out form. The steps involved would be:
- Design your form in Designer and save it as a PDF. Set the properties on the submit button so
it will submit the entire PDF.
- Deploy the PDF File to your end users.
- End user opens the form in Acrobat.
- End user fills out the form and submits it. The filled-out PDF file will be attached to the
email.
2) Purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. With this product, you can reader-enable your
document so that users can submit the filled-out form with Acrobat Reader. The steps involved in
this case would be:
- Design your form in Designer and save it as a PDF. Set the properties on the submit button so
it will submit the entire PDF.
- Reader-enable the form by running it through Reader Extensions Server and enabling the rights
to save form data.
- Deploy the reader-enabled PDF File to your end users.
- End user opens the form in Acrobat Reader.
- End user fills out the form and submits it. The filled-out PDF file will be attached to the
email.
Hope this helps!

Don't know how to store/show image or pdf files easily in apex app

Hi,
I always want to put a blob column in my table and store some images or pdf files, like drawings for an item, but I found it hard to do, I have viewed the sample app by apex 4.0, but I cannot understand the code.
Is there a simple and intuitive way of storing/showing pdf files in an apex app?
I wish Oracle could make an easier wizard for apex on that issue.
just make storing a file as simple as in MS access, or email attachment, etc.
no headache coding involved.
that will be great!
that will also do Oracle good, since images will use up a lot of spaces, maybe Xe won't be enough, the will consider an upgrade.

Yawei,
there is a chapter about BLOB support in the application builder users guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGGJHEF
Maybe this helps for a start, even if it isn't as easy as in MsAccess but this may be due to the fact that APEX is a web application and Access a rich client.
brgds,
Peter

Why is the date picker icon is not showing on the PDF file?

Hi,
I added a date field on a form.
I can see the date picker icon when viewing the form online but when I download and open the PDF to my computer and open it on Adobe Reader that icon doesn't show up.
It's important since my users then need to manually enter the date instead of choosing it on the graphic interface (some of my users are older so need all the help they can get)
Is there an option or something I missing to make the date picker icon show up on the actual PDF file as well?
Thanks

Explorer slow showing folders containing PDF files

I have Windows XP SP2 and Acrobat Pro 7.0.9 on a Dell Precision
M65 about 4 months old.
Windows Explorer experiences a significant delay displaying the
contents of folders that contain large PDF files. Process Explorer
shows that during these delays explorer.exe is reading from the
disk at about 200 MByte/sec. The thread that's busy during these
delays is ntdll.dll!RtlAllocateHeap+0x18c. The duration of the
delay is proportional to the total size of the PDF files in the
directory. If I rename these files to have, say, .doc extension
instead of .pdf then the delay disappears. The delay to display a
folder containing 300 MByte of PDF files is about 25 seconds.
Enough to be really annoying.
In ShellExView I tried disabling all non-Microsoft extensions,
including several Adobe Acrobat related extensions. Made no odds.
Any suggestions?

I see exactly the same thing, but I suspect this is partly a Windows issue. I completely uninstalled all the adobe products from my machine (Acro reader, acrobat pro 7.0.9, FrameMaker 7.2) such that the pdf file associations were gone, and it still takes forever to list the files. Of course, there could still be some remnants lurking in the system that uninstalling didn't take care of.
My workaround was to change the .pdf extension to .mypdf and then associate that extension with Acrobat reader 8.0. The folder contents now update very quickly (as they should) and I can open them with the correct Adobe product. I just have to remember to change the extension back to .pdf if/when I email a file to someone else.
Still, would be nice to not have to work around this.

Create a DVD with buttons to open the .pdf file with adobe Encore ?

Dear all !
I would like to create a DVD or a CD-Rom support with an interactive menu and buttons which allow us to open some files in.pdf.
It will be a conference DVD with all presentations in. pdf, contact list in .xls file, etc.
Is it possible to create such a DVD with adobe Encore ?
Thank you in advance.
Sév from France.

You could look around for "eDVD." Going back, it was being developed by Sonic, but they dropped it because of issues with Vista. About every 6 - 8 mos., some little tid-bit comes out, that the code has been bought and someone is working on it.
Also, Encore CS5 seems to have added some interactivity elements in BD, but I have only seen some bullet points, and zero details. Since Jeff did not make mention of CS5, my guess would be that the interactivity might not have been what you need - or enough details have not been released yet for any of us to know for sure. The full details will be available very soon though.
Good luck, and hope that whoever did acquire the code from Sonic IS on their way, as this is an oft requested feature.

Hi,
That's very normal. Depending on many things, machine (laptop/PC) has to send many "commands" down to the printer therefore the file is getting huge.

PPT action buttons are not present in pdf file upon conversion

Hi
Am using Office 2003 (SP3) and Acrobat 8 (version 8.1.6).
Have been using action buttons in the presentations for several years, works fine.
When converting existing files, action buttons in both PPT show and pdf file just works, no problems.
Newly generated presentations work fine as PPT show. But when converted to pdf file, the action buttons are simply missing.
Have verified that all action buttons are "at front", same result.
Have tried to avoid corporate templates by creating a blank presentation and building a small and simple navigating presentation. Again, works fine as PPT show. And again, upon conversion there are no action buttons present in the pdf file.Corporate changes thereby should be ruled out.
Have checked all settings (including "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings") between a working and a non-working PPT file, can't identify any differences.
A colleague helped out (using Acrobat 6), same result. But upon activation of "Adobe PDF, Change Conversion Settings, Restore Defaults", the action buttons worked for him. Tried it with Adobe 8, no such luck.
Have trialed the "Prep 4 PDF" tool, then the PDF file is complete and the "go to slide" keys appear and work again.
All new updates available are installed, anyone experienced the same and found a fix for this trouble?

Have tried both ways, same result.
When working with new presentations, the pdf file is viewable, but the action buttons are not present.
When working with past presentations, the action buttons are present and do work as expected.

Wpf open PDF file in Adobe Reader with a click on a button

I need a button to open a PDF file with Adobe Reader. I have the following code but it does not work. The file is inside Books folder
on my application.
private void openPDF(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
bookPDF = "Books/" + dataRow.ItemArray[6].ToString();
Uri pdf = new Uri(bookPDF, UriKind.Relative);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch(Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);
I tested a simple string with a test pdf file to open and it opens.
String file = "C:\pdf\Windows_Server_2008_R2_Unleashed.pdf";
process.StartInfo.FileName = file;
process.Start(); process.WaitForExit();

Hi Carlos Sota,
In my experience, I suggest that you could set Copy to Output Directory property of the PDF file to “Copy always”.
Below are my code snippet and screenshot.
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
try
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory+@"/abc.pdf";
Uri pdf = new Uri(path, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
process.StartInfo.FileName = pdf.LocalPath;
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
catch (Exception error)
MessageBox.Show("Could not open the file.", "Error", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Warning);

Slideshow set to autoplay does not work after loading a pdf file

Hi,
While developing our app we encountered a problem whereby on an article page, we added in a slideshow function set to autoplay to show various images and also we created a button linking to a PDF file which we added into the app to allow users to get more information about the slideshow images.
We noticed that while the slideshow is being played and when we launched the pdf file and closing it again, the slideshow stops playing. It doesn't reset itself either. The slideshow just stops at the image on when we launch the pdf.
Any solutions?
Regards

That's how they work. Slideshows pause when you open up an in-app browser window. There's no setting to change/configure this behaviour.

Buttons not exporting to pdf

Hi Everyone,
I created an oval shape with an ellipse to be used as a button. I converted it to a button and applied an action so that it went to a destination bookmark I created earlier. I placed the button on my master page but when I export to interactive pdf it doesn't show on the pdf file. I also tried taking it off the master page and put it on a document page but I'm still getting the same result.
If I use the sample buttons that come with Indesign CS5, these buttons appear on an exported pdf but it seems that any custom button I make doesn't work.
I wondered if anyone else has had similar problems and if there's a workaround?
Appreciate any help.

Hi everyone,
I uninstalled, then re-installed indesign. After I did this, I was able to export to an interactive pdf with the buttons working correctly. The only problem is that when you export to interactive pdf, it produces spreads in a facing pages document like I have. I used a script to toggle this setting off so that it was single pages on export, however when I did this the buttons no longer appeared in the resulting pdf, so it seems the script is doing something to affect the buttons.
I wondered if anyone knows of a workaround?
Would be really grateful for any advice.

Buttons not exporting to PDF from CS5

Howdy, all. I've a problem exporting documents containing buttons to PDF. Specifically, CS5 doesn't export interactive buttons placed in my InDesign document to interactive buttons in a PDF file; they show up, instead, as simple, non-interactive graphics. (No pointing fingers, no actions.)
This is true for all documents I have created in or imported into CS5.
As a test, I went back to CS4 and created a document with a single button chosen from the "Sample Buttons," to which I attached the "Next Page" action. Exporting to PDF from CS4 works fine; I get a functioning Next Page button in the resulting PDF file. Opening the same InDesign document in CS5 and exporting with the same settings to PDF yields a non-functioning button graphic appearing on the PDF page.
Opening the PDF file in BBEdit, I see that there is no "Fields" entry in the PDF file's Catalog dictionary, so it seems as though the button is, indeed, being exported into the PDF file as a simple graphic.
What obscure CS5 setting (presumably hiding in plain sight) am I missing?
By the way, CS5 does export the buttons correctly to swf.
Thanks much.
- John

In CS5 you have to change the export type to an 'Adobe PDF (Interactive)' to get the buttons to work.
Bit of a pain because you can't save presets like you can with the standard PDF export, but you can specify some of the PDFs view settings at the same time. In my view they should have just added all that functionality to the standard PDF export, but perhaps that wasn't possible. However it was a dud decision to remove working button export from the other PDF export.
