Byte Serving for pdf

Hello, I make a servlet that sends pdf with byte serving. I have no problems with Windows Clients but with Macintosh clients (Explorer, Netscape 7 works) acrobat waits like expecting some data. Any idea if I must use some special header or do you have examples?

It could be a content length problem.
If you are creating the pdf 'on the fly' you could try
writing it to a ByteArrayPrintWriter, convert it to a
byte array, setContentLength(byteArray.length()) and
write the byte array to the output stream.
Hope this helps.Thanks. I'm not creating the pdf. Its a file on my server that I send. So I put the content-length to the size of the file.

web server can not send the complete large document...at a time..so, user should wait..to see the document ...
in the place of that.....when the user is viewing..the first page...the web server continiosly sends the data...

Using CRX as Document Server for PDF and Office Docs

Hi All,
I my organization we have got lots of PDF , Word,PPT and video on stored on CQ server along with webpage. I am suggesting it to store webpages on CQ/AEM server and rest of the documents on CRX server and access those documents via Sling URL’s.
Is anyone foreseeing any risk in this approach or should we store all documents in another AEM server. We just need to use indexing, ACL’s on these documents and my understanding is standalone CRX can do this job .
Thanks,
Manish

Thanks for your response.
Yes i mean separate CRX to store document high level architecture will be as below
I have done the POC all working fine. By moving contents to another CRX server we will significantly reduce completion time of indexing, backup , garbage collector and tar optimization jobs on AEM server as a result we will improve performance and reliability. I am wondering how others companies are managing large CQ repository in other organization.

How to enable byte serving(fast web view ) for pdf on tomcat 5.x server

Hi,
I am new the site and this is my first request.
I have to download pfd, instead of waiting the user for complete download of the page, first I need to display first page, and then in the background I have to download the rest of the document. Which is byte serving. I try to implement byte serving (fast web view for pdf) for pdf files in Tomcat 5.x it is not working. The same functionality is working in other servers.
I have not done any coding to use byte serving in the other servers, simply I enable byte serving for pdf using the adobe.
Can any one help me …..

Digital signed and PDF byte-serving

Is a PDF that has been created/enabled for 'fast web view' and then been subsequently digitally signed, still able to use byte-serving optimization or does the fact that the entire PDF needs to be available for sig validation preclude that type of fast web view optimization?

The entire PDF needs to be downloaded for signature validation to work.

MICR font not displayed in PDF on SUSE Linux Server for Check Writer (XML)

We are generating checks by running the Check Writer(XML) concurrent request and are not able to see MICR fonts on the Check. We downloaded the free version from IDAutomationSMICR.ttf and the fonts were registered under /usr/local/fonts/micr directory. I registered in APPS and uploaded the file IDAutomationSMICR.ttf. Am I missing any steps. The DBA's have registered the fonts under /usr/local/fonts/micr on SUSE Linux Server . The custom Checks are generated but no luck with the fonts. Please advise. Can I download MICR fonts other than IDAutomation site? Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Hari

I use version 11i, so the steps are probably different. Download a font file (gnuMICR for me). Extract it to a location of your choice on your operating system.
Follow these steps to load the MICR font to the server. (Step 11 was missing in some of the metalink documents in late 2007. I think Jan. 2008 will be OK).
1.     Log in as XML Publisher Administrator.
2.     Navigate to Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3.     Fields are Font Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. File will browse your PC to locate the font file.
4.     Navigate to Font Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5.     Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts. [MICR Font]
6.     Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set. [MICR]
7.     Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8.     Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add multiple fonts to a set).
9.     Font Family is the exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime. [GnuMICR]
10.     Style and weight must also match how you use the font in Windows. Normal and Normal are good defaults. [Normal, Normal]
11.     DO NOT enter Language or Territory
12.     Choose a value for Font Type. [Truetype]
13.     Search for the Font you just created in step 3. [GnuMICR]
14.     Navigate to Configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping Set. Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
15.     Select your new mapping set.
16.     Make sure the font is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template file.
17.     Select a temporary directory on your concurrent processing node (Configuration -> General). This needs to be a private area not shared by other processes, read writeable by the applmgr (owner of the $APPL_TOP file system). It should be fairly large 5 GB or 20x larger than any datafile being used. The fonts will be downloaded here the first time they are used.
18.     Also at this site level select your font mapping set.
19.     Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview.

Byte serving pdf files:

Hi,
problem:
i have some pdf files outside the webroot and i have to serve those files to user as a fast web view.
Note: fast web view is a feature of IIS not coldfusion application server.
currently how i m doing this made a virtual directory to those pdf files folder and i redirect the user to the attachment
so the file serve by IIS itself.
however using this approach user can get the file if he knows the attachment file name. so this is a security concern.
can anyone suggest me any alternate solution for this security concern.
thanks

Hi mack,
thanks for the quick reply however this is not my problem.
if i serve the pdf files using <cfcontent tag it takes time to load in the browser even if pdf file is marked for fast web view.
so i choose that i create a virtual directory and redirect the user to that file.
in this way IIS handle this request and since this is in-built feature of web server so user is
able to see the pdf as fast web view.
but my main security concern in this apporach is if user has file name then he can use the same url and get some other pdf file.
however i appreciate your reply.
thanks
Prashant

Use byte array of PDF to display PDF in IE browser

I get byte array of PDF as input argument. I need to use byte array to display PDF in IE browser. I am writing code in doGet method of Servlet to accomplish this. However, PDF never gets displayed. I see Acrobat starting, but original PDF never gets displayed in browser.
I am using code below in doGet of Servlet:
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setHeader("Expires", "0");
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
resp.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy
server
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=stuff.pdf");
byte[] inBytes = getBytesOfPDF(...);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
if(inBytes !=null){
outStream.write(inBytes);
outStream.flush();
I added dummy name of PDF (stuff.pdf) for display, as I heard IE requires a file name with .pdf extension for display.
But I had no luck with the code above.
Any help with code will be appreciated.
[email protected]

Hi
Am using the same code and i am able to get the PDF out.
          /* Finally writing it into a PDF */
               response.setContentType("application/pdf");
               /* filename could be any thing */
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
                         "attachment; filename=Report.pdf");
               response.setContentLength(content.length);
               response.getOutputStream().write(content);
               response.getOutputStream().flush();

Hi Guus,
We are not using the new authorizations we are still on 3.5 authorization and we tried for an user with SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW authorization , so i am not sure if this is an authorization problem.
We have a new issue on hand, initially i was able to broadcast thru xml,mhtml, xml formats, yesterday our portal was down, when the portal was brought up, i found that even the ones that were working were now throwing an error.
I spoke with the basis person, and he told me user mappings were lost, but even after restoring the user mapping were restored we still have the problem.
If this error is caused by lack of new authorization, atleast we know what we are dealing with, but for now iam not sure if this error is due to authorization or some settings on the web server side.

Turning Off Gantt Charts in MS Project For PDF Gen

hi
we have run into a problem when printing Gantt charts with PDF Gen. They can be extremely slow and on following up with Support they have confirmed that this is an issue with Distiller and there is no fix soon. So to get around the issue we tried disabling Gannt charts in MS Project by un-checking Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D' (Tools > Options, View tab) in MS Project
Now we're finding LC does not always pick up the setting. What we have noticed is that sometimes when printing to PDF with the same file, on the same server via PDF Gen, Gantt charts will appear, and sometimes not. Occasionally, the MS Project file when printing Gantt charts will stall in the Adobe Printer Queue, LC will then start to get Stuck Threads in Weblogic, and basically become unstable.
Upon further investigation we saw that LC will use the WINPROJ.exe if it is running to do the conversion, or start a new WINPROJ.exe process if none is running. Sometimes while starting the process we get the Gantt chart setting picked up, and sometimes not, and there is no particular pattern.
We did a lot of digging with PROCMON to see if we could find if LC was picking up a Windows Registry entry for MS Project perhaps with a different user which did not have the Gannt chart turned off, but could not find one. Our conclusion was that sometimes LC has submitted the job before WINPROJ.exe is fully loaded and somehow the No Gantt charts option gets lost, though this is speculation based on observation of behaviour.
Anyone know what is going on?

Hi,
We will get this issue reproduced in-house and see if we can provide a patch to address this problem. Prima facie this does not appear to be a bug in the product; rather it appears that MS Project might be "forgetting" this setting in some cases, or a similar setting (inside the file that is being converted) might override the application-wide setting.
We will try to see if we can forcibly set this flag (through MS Project COM APIs) each time a MS Project file gets converted. If this works, we might be able to provide a patch.
Meanwhile, can you let me know exactly what version of MS Office (with the service pack details, if any) that you are using?

Is it possible to override the built-in PDF format handler with a custom IFilter for PDF?

Hi,
SharePoint 2013 comes with a built-in "format handler" for PDF now, so it can index PDF files out of the box. This is great for most users, as it now no longer is necessary to install a third-party IFilter for crawling PDF documents.
My question is, is it possible to override the built-in format handler for PDF with a custom IFilter for PDF? I played with the Set-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormatState and Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchFileFormat cmdlets. While it is possible to deactivate
the built-in format handler, I was not able to remove it and to create a new one that activates a custom IFilter for PDF files.
Background of the question: While the new built-in format handler for PDF will probably be sufficient for many SharePoint users, some need additional capabilities regarding indexing if PDF documents, e.g. extraction of custom metadata from PDF's document
information dictionary and embedded XMP metadata. PDFlib GmbH, the company I work form, sells an IFilter for PDF, and of course we would like to continue to offer this for SharePoint 2013.
Thanks
Stephan

You should be able to replace it with any ifilter you want, this is the procedure for installing it:
Install PDF iFilter 9.0 (64 bit) from
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025 (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025)
Download PDF icon picture from Adobe web site
http://www.adobe.com/misc/linking.html (http://www.adobe.com/misc/linking.html) and copy to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\
Add the following entry in docIcon.xml file, which can be found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\XML
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdficon_small.png" />
Add pdf file type on the File Type page under Search Service Application
Open regedit
Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\15.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension
Right-click > Click New > Key to create a new key for .pdf
Add the following GUID in the default value
{E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}
•Restart the SharePoint Server Search 15
•Reboot the SharePoint servers in Farm
•Create a Test site (with any out-of-box site template) and create a document library upload any sample PDF document(s).
•Perform FULL Crawl to get search result.
Once the crawl is completed we will get search results.

Error while downlaoding smartform into Application server in PDF format

Hi friends,

if i add " IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS " after ENCODING DEAFULT then i am not getting dump and pdf file is creating but i am not able to see LOGO in SAP Application server ( downlaoded back from application server to my pc and checked it).
DUMP:
here i am getting dump saying that : You cannot convert the character set

What happened?
While a text was being converted from code page '4102' to '4110', one of
the following occurred:

Hi
I think some basis related configuartions to be done
Try like this and inform me
A cyclic job runs, which processes the messages seen in the SOST queue.
Are you sure it's not the frequency of the cyclic job, rather than the
number of messages in the queue, that you are observing? In messages
that are queued and before the cyclic job runs, "wait for comm. service"
is the normal status.
If you mean that there are always 4 items queued in SOST regardless of
the cyclic send job, then I have no ideas. I would have thought there
was no way to do that.
when the send job runs it just never
picks them up & sends them, while it picks up many others. The send job
is somehow blind to these; no error message occurs. In this case, I
'delete' them from the queue (in SOST) and then 'undelete' (drop down
menu -> /Go to /Deleted Items) them and then re-queue them. THEN they
actually get picked up & sent when the next cyclic send job executes.
Regards
Pavan

Different filesize for PDF files created in background vs. foreground?

When I create a PDF file in a background job the filezise is more than 2 times bigger than created with same selection in the foreground?? Why is that? Any suggestions?

Hi Sachin,
Thanks for the thread. But it does not help us.
We should explain the issue of these sizes in little more detail.
We have a program created for PDF outputs. The PDF form is created in SFP transaction like smartform.
As you might know that a fucntion module gets created internally for the PDF form similar to a smartform.
Now during execution, the function modules(for PDF form) returns an parameter called /1bcdwb/formoutput, which has field called pdf. This field holds the entire PDF output in binery format. We use this to create a file on the appliction server. I hope you can guess why the size of the file is bigger to the file that I save the PDF output on desktop from print preview.
We are looking for a solution on how to reduce this file that gets stored on the application server using the binery data of PDF form.
Thanks and Regards,
Kiran Chevuru

Call method http_client- response- get_header_fields for PDF and for TIFF

Hi,
I am using a Function Module..
APAR_EBPP_GET_INVOICE_DETAIL to display the TIFF images on the Biller Direct side.
The above function module is used to retrieve the PDF documents from the document repository.

Hi Niranjan,
can you please check if you have imported the whole chain of certificates. Certificates usually diplayed in 3 levels in the Explorer. like
Verisign - L1
>>> Versign-- L2
>>>>>>>>>>>>XYZ.com -- L3
Extract all the 3 certificates and Put in Strust and do exit soft and hard in SMICM and restart the service.
Its better to create a RFC destination of Type H and Do the Connection test for HTTPS configuration. If the connection test comes OK then u can be sure of the configuration.
