Cfdocument - creating PDF woes using cf7

Hi folks,
I'm trying to create a pdf from a database query and its giving me all kinds of headaches. Its totally unpredicatable.
I've validated my code to xhtml, but the pdf spacing, text size and hyperlinks all have a mind of there own.
Is there an update I can download to make it more forgiving?
Any help very much appreciated
Thankyou

Install the latest hot fixes for CF MX7.x. They include fixes for cfdocument.

No ability to create PDF Files using Acrobat 6.01_6.06 after installing Word 2010. (Windows XP)

Since installing Word 2010 (upgrading from Word 2003) there are no visable PDF Icons nor ability to create PDF Files using Adobe Acrobat 6.06. Operating system is Windows XP. Browser is IE8. Various attempts to bypass this situation have not been successful. No problems had been experienced earlier using Acrobat 6.01 through 6.06 with Word 2003 and earlier Word versions during the passed 10 years or so. Adobe's support is not responding to recognize mentioned situations, nor is there any a solution to fix the problem. Low volume small businesses,with limited need to create PDF files, are being considerably burdened to substante a $200 investment to upgrade to Acrobat X, which may as well not be the solution. It is appealed for Adobe Forums readers to share similar experiences with possible fixes at hand. Responses will be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

Your response is greatly appreciated, Bernd...
Unfortunately, those of us who milk software packages for eons such as
Acrobat 6.06 Standard, a full version of Acrobat X is quoted to be $299
with no ability to upgrade since 7.0 is the cutoff which remains to be
only $139.
It seems to me, Military personal, retired or just ole toots who did
their think, would offer considerations such as Staples, Lowe's, and
other big boxes offer. Such is greed for some who do not consider
alternatives above their noses...

How to creating pdf documents using c# and Adobe SDK

I downloaded Adobe SDK and go through the samples given in sdk. But i couldn't find any sample code how to create PDF file using C# code.
Please, help me with this.
Thanks.

For desktop-based solutions, look at the Adobe Acrobat SDK which enables development around Acrobat itself. Or if you wish a stand-alone solution (for either desktop or server), we offer the Adobe PDFLibrary, which is the same technology used by all of Adobe's applications.
For the server, we have our LiveCycle products including LC Generator.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

How can I create PDFs dynamically using data from a DB?

Hello,
I am using ATG Dynamo to serve up pages for a B2C medical eCommerce site. I would like the ability to create PDF copies of a customer's invoice starting with a generic PDF template, then populating the document with the invoice-specific data and serving it to the customer.
Anyone know where I should start?
Thanks,
Jeff

Two options.
1. Formated objects, which uses xml and xslt to create a pdf file. Apache has an open source FOP engine for Java. This is fairly complicated, but doable however the technology is relatively immature. Inexpensive, moderately steep learning curve given no prior experience.
2. Third party application, my company uses Document Sciences, j2ee solution. Expensive, small learning curve.

Creating PDF files using file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pdf file using, File/FTP adapter? If yes can someone please suggest how to do it.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
I would say pdf files are binary files with a specialized format.
You can move pdf files through BPEL or ESB (i.e. file/ftp -> file/ftp), or from file to database BLOB and database to file, by importing the schema as opaque.
However I doubt that file adapter can create PDF files from a plain-text xml file, i.e. as PDFCreator would.
In a sense a pdf file is much like a jpg, mp3, or zip file, it can be passed through bpel but not created.
In other words if you have a base64Binary element in xml, that you know is the complete bytes to a pdf, jpg, or other file, you can write it out as a file using the File adapter.
Thanks
Steve

Acrobat Pro version 8 doesn't create pdf documents using Windows 7

I run Windows 7 on my PC and have installed Acrobat Professional 8. When I try to create a pdf (or using the pdf printer), it just hangs up and won't create the document. Any fixes for this?
Thanks.

You likely have a 64-bit system. Do the updates and you might be successful. Several folks have reported success on 32-bit Win7 installations and a few with 64-bit systems. However, the updates are critical. If you have trouble doing the updates from the help menu, use http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and install the updates in order (a few can be skipped and you can note those by downloading from the most recent that tells the previous version required). You can also save time by rebooting only after the last update.

Create PDF file using PL SQL

Hello All:
I have an requirement of generating a PDF file using Oracle PL SQL program. Can anyone please let me know the procedure/code of doing this?
Thanks,
k Ramesh Gupta

I have steps to generate Excel sheet output, apply appropriate content-type for PDF in the PL/SQL written below, to get the same in PDF. i suppose it should be application/pdf
1. Create a custom DAD if required using Enterprise Manager Console of MidTier for HTTP Server or use Portal DAD itself to implement the solution.
2. Create a new procedure (a webdb solution) to stream the HTML for the excel sheet report which will be downloaded.
a. Login to Portal schema through SQL*Plus or the respective DAD based schema if custom DAD is created. (below example is created in custom DAD - 'scott').
SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE generateCsv
as
cursor p_emp is select * from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP;
begin
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/vnd.ms-excel', False ); -- Here change the content-type to PDF Format accordingly
htp.print('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="pvasista.csv"');
owa_Util.Http_Header_Close;
for v_emp_cur in p_emp
LOOP
htp.p (v_emp_cur.ename || ',' || v_emp_cur.deptno || chr(13));
END LOOP;
end;
SQL> grant execute on generateCsv to public;
For education purpose getting the report of employee and deptno of al employees from PORTAL_DEMO.EMP table. Implement the necessary query/ Business Logic accordingly.
b. Now access http://midtier_host:port/pls/dad_name/generateCsv, will download a .csv based excel file report as shown in the screenshot below,
3. Open the Portal Page where the link is to be added, createa URL Item Link and add the above URL, select option "Open in new browser window"
4. It can also be enhanced to have filtering enabled on the report by using Portal Form using Option, "Form based on stored procedure" and selecting the above stored procedure.

Creating PDF's using cfdocument hangs the server

We are running two ColdFusion 9 servers on Suse linux 11.3, 64 bit. We are current on all our hot fixes.
Over time (a couple of days usually) all of our PDF reports hang. No exceptions are thrown. Eventually they timeout. A server reboot is required to fix the problem. The rest of the app functions fine.
Once this condition occures, all of the PDF reports hang (some reports have a lot of data....some have minimal). If the <cfdocument> tag is empty, the report will execute normally, but even just "hello world" in the cfdocument tag hangs. I am guessing that there is some system resource that it is waiting for--a thread, memory, etc. But the rest of the app runs fine, so it appears to be something specific to <cfdocument>. We are currently configured with 3G jvm, 360 jvm threads.
These same reports have been running for a couple of years on cf8 and cf9 (with no hotfixes). We deployed a new app on cf9 (with hotfixes) about a month ago which is when the problem started.
We are not sure what else to try....server reboots are getting old. Any comments would be appreciated.

The best thing you can do in this situation is to examine the server during the failure condition. You do this by generating a stack trace. There are several ways to generate a stack trace from running commands on your Linux server to using features of the ColdFusion Admin API. Here are some links to get your started.
Generating a snapshot/stack trace via code using the CF Admin API.

PDF of presentation notes and stack trace options from Charlie Arehart.

Once you've generated the stack trace you need to look through it for issues with memory (JVM heap), CPU, locked threads etc. Reading stack traces is not the easiest thing to do, especially making decisions on what to do based on what you see. In other words, it'd be hard to cover everything in a forum post. But, this sort of analysis should help you figure out more about what is happening during the failure condition.

Bug report?-Can't create PDF's using scanner presets

Help!
Acrobat 10.1.0
Windows 7 64bit
Lexmark Prevail Pro705 using USB connection
After about an hours use today I suddenly found that couldn't create a pdf via my scanner using the PROGRAMME PRESETS (which are now greyed out). To the best of my knowledge no update or other machine activity took place before the time I lost preset use.
I can scan using the CUSTOM SCAN and then selecting WIA-Lexmark Pro700 Series from the Input Scanner dropdown box. If I click Lexmark Pro700 Series TWAIN and then try to proceed, Arcobat freezes. If I try to select and adjust the presets I get an error message, ‘The scanner last used by Acrobat does not support preset scanning. Please select another scanner’.
I can scan a PDF via the Lexmark utility and create a PDF that way so I’m assuming that is using WIA?
I’ve down loaded Twacker 64 and opening FILE – SELECT SOURCE there is nothing listed.
Occasionally when I have just let the prog to try and scan after selecting the TWAIN setting in the CONFIGURE PRESETS after a time, I get an error message asking that I disconnect / reconnect the USB cable /restart the computer. I’ve tried doing this with no change. Acrobat then reports, ‘ Scanning cancelled.’
I’ve checked for Lexmark, Adobe and Windows updates – nothing.
I’ve tried ringing Adobe and after hanging on for over an hour gave up.
Any ideas what I can do to restore the preset/TWAIN feature?

Hi Amit,
Thank you for the input.
After spending just under 2 hours on the phone to Adobe Support yesterday I have just received a product update which I'm pleased to say has corrected what must have been a prog bug.
Hope you have a great day and thank you again for taking time to suggest a fix.

Cannot create pdf files using Pro X

I am running Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) and just installed Acrobat Pro X and am unable to create ANY pdf files from any type of document. I am also running Office 2011 and Pages for Mac. Every time I click on a document file and try to convert it to pdf I get a message that says "Acrobat could not open the file because it is not a supported file type" These are simple .doc; docx; .xls and pages documents I am trying to create. Straightforward word processing files, nothing more. I am able to convert .jpeg files to pdf with no problem. But there has to be something basic I am doing wrong or some basic setting needs to be changed.
Any ideas?

You have to recognize that Acrobat can only convert certain file formats to PDF. And there are less formats that can be converted on the Macintosh than in Windows. In Windows, Acrobat uses an Office plug-in to convert Word, PowerPoint, etc. files. That plug-in is not provided by Adobe for the Macintosh. As to why that is, that's been a subject of ongoing debate for at least a decade.
Here are the formats you can convert WITHIN Acrobat on the Mac: Image formats (JPEG, TIFF, etc.), EPS, PostScript, Text, HTML.
So if you want to convert your Word or Pages documents you'll need to use the Macintosh Save as PDF facility. PDF is Mac OS X's native file format. Keep in mind that you can't expect to do some of the fancier things with Word files made possible by the Windows Office plug-in. You can't save bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. and expect them to appear in the PDF file.
You can also use a script that should be installed by default when you install Acrobat Pro X. Instead of choosing Save as PDF (the OS X option), you can choose Save as Adobe PDF. This script (when it works...it seems pretty fragile) uses Distiller in the background to do the conversion. And this script can also not convert Word bookmarks or hyperlinks.

Problem creating PDF file using the Adobe PDF printer

Apologies if I have hit the wrong forum for this issue.
I am using Adode Acrbat 9 PRO version 9.4.6 on a Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I am running an application that presents information on web pages that I need to capture as pdf files. I am using an automation tool so it is limiting my posibilities of accomplishing this task.
I am attempting to use the Adobe PDF printer as the vehicle to create these PDF files but have encountered the following issues
The page is truncated on the right hand side
Only 1 page is created when I was expecting 7
I have specified a file path for the ADOBE PDF Output Folder ... C:\Windows\Temp and
checked the box "Add document information" but I am not given the opportuniy to enter a file name. It is using the file name from the URL
To verify my PDF content I used a different method to create the PDF from the same web page
Right click within the web page and select Convert to Adobe PDF. The pdf file has the full content with no truncation and is 7 pages in total.
Unfortunately I am unable to use this method with my automation tool
Any pointers will be gratefully received

Some progess
I changed the page orientation to landscape and that removed the truncation. I am not sure why it is not using the "shrink to fit" but for the purposes of this exercise I can live with this solution.
If I click Print Preview I can view all pages and then if I select the Print Icon I get a PDF file containing all pages. This is so bizarre.
So to recap
File > Print > Adobe PDF Printer only creates 1 page
File > Print Preview > Print Document (Alt +P) > Print >Adobe PDF Printer creates 7 pages
I guess this would be a good time to call support to see what they have to say on this topic.
