Compressed PDF Output

Greetings,
We are doing R12.1.1 AP testing. when we run the concurrent program "Format Payment Instructions" (IBY_FD_PAYMENT_FORMAT), the output is set to PDF. According to our third party cheque print software, it cannot handle "Compressed PDF" files. This is the first time I have heard about "Compressed PDF" files. Does anyone know of a workaround, given our current configuration?
Thanks...colin

Pl see if MOS Doc 205295.1 (New Feature: PDF Compression) can help. Reports 9i and later releases turn on PDF compression by default. I am not sure how it can be turned off in an EBS environment

Cannot View PDF output in Template Viewer

Guys
I am a newbie to the XML Publisher. I installed the following patches for the Publisher.
Trying to view a PDF output via Viewer and getting the following log

Is there a pdf output file size limitation?

Hi,
I have an rtf invoice template that worked fine in test environments. Now that it has been migrated to Production, it works except for this one invoice that has created a meta data XML file that is 2 MB, which is not that large, is it? Additionally, I cannot open the metadata file in html, it just hangs, but can in a text editor, so I have been chopping up the file into smaller pieces and can get pdf output of around 175 pages worth.
I've tried it with different sets of data from this file, and they work, just not the whole file. Is there some setting required for this to work?

Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?

Recorded Text Entries are displayed unclean in PDF Output

I'm creating currently a screencast with Captivate 7. Within this screencast, I have to type an adress into the adress bar of Internet Explorer. Captivate records this entry automatically in Full Motion, this works good.
But I had to note, that the output in PDF destroys the text entry. During the entry, the textcursor appears after every single sign and the entry becomes unclean.
This problem appears also, when I'm scaling the project. Then it appears in all outputs.
Does anyone have the same problem and a solution for this problem?
This picture shows the problem in PDF Output.

Try turning off all compression options in Preferences > Project > SWF Size and Quality. Also try setting quality of any affected slides to High 24bit or Optimized. Then republish and test again.

Best way to produce PDF output from Classic ASP

I have Adobe Professional 9.2 and LiveCycle ES Designer 8.1. I need to change a Classic ASP web application to produce a PDF report. The way I see it I have three options:
1) create native PDF output using open source libraries.
2) create an FDF form with Adobe Pro as a template and use FDF libraries from Adobe to substitute text in the template
3) create an XML form with LiveCycle as a template and do direct text substitution into the XML.
I created a PDF with LiveCycle and prior to saving, unchecked the "save PDF files compressed" in tools/options. I don't want any text boxes, just labels, and in some of the labels I will put distinguishable text. When the web application uses the template it will find various text strings in the XML stream and substitute.
What's the best way to do this? Is there a better way of doing substitution into the LiveCycle template? I would like to stay with LiveCycle. But from code samples I've seen, FDF substitution is very straightforward and possibly easier. I also thought LiveCycle is supposed to be the way to go instead of Adobe Pro. Thanks

I cannot speak about theother methods but I can speak about the XFA method. In most cases people will bind the xml to the rawValue property of the field thereby filling the field with the value. However there are other bindable properties. Caption is one of them. first you have to turn on the Dynamic Properties. Click on th efield you want to control on on the Object palette click the icon as shown below:
A new menu will open like this:
Turn that option on and the Caption will turn a different color and will become a link. Click on the link and then you can map the caption to a node in your XML structure. This assumes that you have created a Data Connection to bind with.

How to Automate Compressing PDF files in a Watched Directory

I want to automatically compress PDF files as they get placed into a watched directory. I would like the compressed files placed in another directory and have the original file either deleted or place in another directory. If Acrobat Pro X can do this, how do I set it up.

I noticed that Acrobat Distiller will watch an input directory and move files to an output directory. I tried using Distiller to compress a PDF file, but all it did was move the PDF file to the out directory without doing any compression. Is there any way that Distiller could be configured to do what I want?
I also called the number listed on the Adobe web site for LiveCycle products. They told me they don't sell their product to non government companies and they referred me to 4 Point to get further info. I called them and only got a voice mail. I'm waiting for a call back.
I found a product that does exactly what I need. It is called PdfCompressor Professional Edition. But, it costs more than what I want to spend. I'm guessing that LiveCycle will cost more than I want to spend also. If there are any other products that cost less than $150, I would like to know what they are.

In CS2, I can go to automate, pdf presentation and there I can set my compresion to None

I tried full and it makes no different
a DVD slick exported as 150dpi is 966kb
a DVD slick exported as 300dpi is 966kb
a DVD slick exported as FULL is 966kb
there must be something else I am missing when I export the same DVD slick via CS2 using None, the resulting pdf is 29mb

Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

PDF output does not refresh data in BI Publisher, XML and HTML do refresh

I just upgraded to BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 and I noticed that the PDF format of the reports does not reflect recent changes in data, while XML data and HTML output do reflect changes in data immediately.
I'm using BI Publisher to print APEX applications reports. When I change some data in APEX forms, I click again in the Print button and the data remains unchanged. I made some testing inside Oracle BI Publisher, and noticed that XML data and HTML output do reflect changes, but PDF output remains with the old data for some unknown amount of time. I cannot identify a method to force the PDF to refresh, just un-log and log in again several times until the data appears updated. This is serious because when users change data and print again, they expect the changes to be reflected in the new printable report, and may not notice that the data is the old version.
OS is Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Any help on this will be very welcome.
Francisco

Open the report in Edit Mode Click on the reports and in the properties section Uncheck the
Enable Document Cache Property and your issue should be resolved.

Animated GIF in PDF output

Hi all,
is it possible to hand an animated GIF to the PDF output (remaining animated)?
FM10 and AcrobatX work together rather fine concerning other animation formats such as SWF or AVI. I am not sure however wether the PDF format supports animated GIFs at all.
Robert

As a side, I've never ever got an embedded avi to covert to pdf. I do it all in the pdf.

PDF outputs continually crash after editing an html source file

I have English and multiple localized versions of a RoboHelp webhelp project. I have created several PDF outputs for the localized versions. I can generate the PDFs fine when I don't touch any of the html source files.
However, I had to make a change to one of the html source files to remove a <dl> from the source file. After making the change to the source file in an outside text editor (Notepad ++), I went back to RoboHelp to generate the PDF, and the PDF output crashed.
The reason I was using an outside text editor is that when I tried to edit the <dl> HTML tags in RH, its HTML editor deleted all text within the tags being edited. There was no undo at this point. In anotehr attempt to use the RH Design editor, RH didn’t delete the <dd> or <dt> tags when those tag styles were changed to <h4> and <p>, respectively. RH inserted the new html wrapper inside the existing ones, instead of replacing it.
Also, during the PDF generation process, a Visual Basic error message will appear dozens of times stating that the application was interrupted. I must press OK to continue for each error message.
What gives with the PDF generation failing like this?

I hate to say it but it sounds like something you are doing in the external editor is not liked by RoboHelp.
It could just be the way that text editor codes the file. I use EditPad Pro and that has various options for text encoding. My guess is your editor is not set to what RoboHelp expects.
Aftr that what I would do here is create a new one topic project and recreate the problem, with the minimum of text. It may help you spot the code RoboHelp does not like.

I don't want to use XSQL, please provide me information ASAP.
<%@ page import = "java.sql.*,oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery" %>
<% Connection conn = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rset = null;
String dbURL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:oracle9i";
try{
     DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
     conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, "scott", "tiger");
     stmt = conn.createStatement ();
     rset = stmt.executeQuery ("SELECT * " +
               "FROM scott.emp ORDER BY ename");
OracleXMLQuery xq = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, rset); %>
<% xq.setStyleSheet("emptablefo.xsl"); %>
<%= xq.getXMLString() %>
<% } catch (java.sql.SQLException e) { %>
SQL error: <%= e %>
<% }
finally {
if (stmt != null) stmt.close();
if (rset != null) rset.close();
if (conn != null) conn.close();
} %>
Thanks,
Ramana

if the report output format is xls this code is generating the pdf output

looks like pdf is default output in template definition in xml publisher resp
so for r12 use FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT as example
v_request_id   number;
xml_layout boolean;
xml_layout := FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT('XXCUSTOM','XXCONCNAME','en','00','EXCEL');
v_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request(application => 'XXCUSTOM',
                                           program     => 'XXCONCNAME',
                                           description => NULL,
                                           start_time => NULL,
                                           sub_request => FALSE,
                                           argument1   => p_date
                                           );also see http://andyblg.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/run-concurrent-program-twice-with-different-layout-r12/

Output Post Processor is unable to generate the PDF output

Hi,
We are using a custom RDF to generate PDF output using a RTF template built using XML. We are facing some problem while running this XML report. The report is completing with warning because of the following reason.
"The concurrent manager has timed out waiting for the Output Post-processor to finish this request."
The problem is not because of the temp space because we printed a sample XML report which is having thousands of pages.
We have tried by changing the value of the profile option "Concurrent: OPP Process Timeout" to 5000, 10000 etc. But still the issue is not resolved.
The report is giving the output if the number of rows are less. It's failing for bulk number of rows.
It would be greatful for us if any one of you can give ideas on these...
Thanks in advance...

Hi Sairam
there might be something wrong with your template,
might be improper usage of Conditional and Looping statments,
might be improper usage of nested tables,
just check you template once again
report should work for any set of data(small or large),

How to generate a PDF output using batch file in 10G

Hello,
I am using .bat file to generate a report PDF output. I have done this many times in 6i but for 10G I am unable to do the same.
Can someone please look at the syntax below and let me know where I am going wrong.
I understand that reports are different for 6i and 10G specially .rep file but I am sure we should be able to generate a PDF file using 10G. Please let me know.
Thanks
IQ
Contents of .bat file follow
ECHO Opening parameter form. Please do not close this window.
C:\
FOR /F "tokens=1 " %%I IN ('time /t') DO (SET _TIME=%%I)
FOR /F "tokens=2 " %%I IN ('date /t') DO (SET _DATE=%%I)
SET EXP_DATE=%_DATE:~6,4%%_DATE:~0,2%%_DATE:~3,2%_%_TIME:~0,2%%_TIME:~3,2%
SET FILENAME=SEND_EMAIL_%EXP_DATE%_%USERNAME%.PDF
CD C:\Users\Documents
RWCONVERTER REPORT=C:\Users\Documents\send_email.rep USERID=scott/tiger@ORCL1 ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=C:\Users\\%FILENAME% PRINTJOB =NO

Rwconverter is not used to run reports:
rwconverter (Reports Converter) enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another.
I think you mean rwrun:
rwrun (Reports Runtime) runs a report by starting its own in-process server (not to be confused with the default in-process Reports Server), which runs in the same JVM as the rwrun process.
This bat file has to run on the server. There is no Reports installation on the client anymore.
If you want to run a report from a client, you can make a bat file that calls the report url
