Converting flowing layout xdp to background artwork pdf using java

I design a Form in LiveCycle designer and save it as XDP. Very nice, since I can see the "fixed content" as content of "draw: elements and my dynamic fields.
This pdf is going to be served up through the web, and needs no editing. All the form display information either comes from
a) the boilerplace text)
b) from a database.
The boilerplate text data needs to be modified only before the production release of the pdf. after which is really is fixed.
The second kind of data is really dynamic data.
Is there a way to programmatically save the XDP as PDF converting all the draw elements into pdf atrwork after we are satisfied with the changes to the boiler plate ?
I have access to XPAAJ, does that have any way of doing this ?
Thanks

Things like that are normally done with the "Interactive Form" UI Element with which you can use the integrated Adobe Forms environment. For more information have a look at the Integrate Online Interactive Forms by Adobe

Converting the layout from OTF format into PDF

Hi Experts,
I am new to SMART FORMS,I don't have a clue about how to convert the layout from OTF format into PDF format and how to store it in Presentation server.
Please send me a Model program or step by step approach of the same.
Useful inputs will be rewarded higher points.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
The steps are given below:-
1) First get the name of your generated function module for the smartforms.
2) Then call the generated function module.
3) Then use the FM:CONVERT_OTF' to convert into PDF as shown below:-
call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
 EXPORTING
 format = 'PDF'
 IMPORTING
 bin_filesize = w_pdf_len
 bin_file = w_pdf_xstring
 TABLES
 OTF = OUTPUT_DATA-OTFDATA
 LINES = LT_LINES
 EXCEPTIONS
 err_max_linewidth = 1
 err_format = 2
 err_conv_not_possible = 3
 err_bad_otf = 4
 others = 5.
Hope this is clear.

Convert list item attachment from docx to pdf using Word Automation Services

I have been trying to convert List Item attachments from docx to pdf using word automation services, it works in a normal document library but when I use the list attachment it throws a null reference error.
var settings = new ConversionJobSettings();
settings.OutputFormat = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SaveFormat.PDF;
var conversion = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services", settings);
conversion.UserToken = SPContext.Current.Site.UserToken;
var wordFile = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Url + "/" + wordForm.Url;
var pdfFile = wordFile.Replace(".docx", ".pdf");
conversion.AddFile(wordFile, pdfFile);
conversion.Start();
Using reflector I was able to see my problem lies in Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.FolderIterator.cs where it uses SPFile.Item which returns NULL
internal void CheckSingleItem(SPFile inputFile, SPFile outputFile)
Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.TraceTag(0x67337931, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Category.ObjectModel, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Level.Verbose, "OM: FolderIterator start a single item: source='{0}'; dest='{1}'", new object[] { inputFile.Url, outputFile.Url });
Stopwatch stopwatch = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.StartPerfStopwatch();
try
this.CheckInputFile(inputFile.Item);
this.CheckOutputFile(outputFile.Url);
Is there any way to get around this?

Hi Qfroth,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you use word automation service to convert Word to PDF for list item attachment, it throws the null reference error.
I suggest you can create an event receiver and convert the word to memory stream like below:
private byte[] ConvertWordToPDF(SPFile spFile, SPUserToken usrToken)
byte[] result = null;
try
using (Stream read = spFile.OpenBinaryStream())
using (MemoryStream write = new MemoryStream())
// Initialise Word Automation Service
SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(WORD_AUTOMATION_SERVICE);
sc.UserToken = usrToken;
sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
// Convert to PDF
ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(read, write);
if (info.Succeeded)
result = write.ToArray();
catch (Exception ex)
// Do your error management here.
return result;
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java

Hi guys...!
I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
Thank you....

HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean).

Spawn a new PDF using Java Script within LC Designer

I am trying to spawn a new PDF file to be created from an existing PDF using Java Script within the LC designer
I have this example but I can't get it to work
function createPdf()
    pdf = pdf$();
    pdf.addText('Hello World');
    pdf.writeToFile('c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
    window.open('file://c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
Is it possible to create a PDF like this within LC Designer?

Hi
I would like to see if it was possible. I thought it would be easy, as
there is a standard batch processing sequence (Print 1st page of all) using
Java that comes with Acrobat 7. This allows you to print the first page of
a number of files that you select when the sequence is run. Its code is:
/* Print 1st Page */
/* This sequence prints the first page of
   each document selected to the default printer.
this.print
To my uninformed mind it seemed logical that the same code, slightly
modified to print all pages, should work from within a form.
Anyway, if there is a way to choose individual files, I would appreciate
that.
Thanks
Rob

Not able to produce some Czech characters in pdf using java.

Hi All,
I am not able to produce some Czech characters like ě and č in pdf using java. Can you please guide me what could be the cause. The characters are coded in properties file and its just neglecting č and ě and taking other character next to it.
we have used below code to display the characters but its also not working..first we thought its font issue since Helvetica dont come by default in windows but after putting helvetica font also we are not able to produce the characters.
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1250, false);
Font fontStyle = new Font(baseFont, 12, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);

baftos wrote:
4th paragraph at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html explains it.
Note also that Java 6 allows you to produce properties files in encodings other than ISO-8859-1, provided you load them via a reader with a matching encoding. (Also see that link posted by baftos.) This might be more practical then the Unicode encoding which was required in earlier versions of Java.

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

Converting xml file with arabic content to pdf using FOP

Hello all
I am trying to convert a dynamically generated xml file in which most of the data comes from the oracle database with arabic content, to pdf using FOP. I have used "Windows-1256" encoding for the xml. If i open the xml generated with the internet explorer the arabic content displays properly but the pdf is not generated and the acrobat reader shows the file as corrupted or not supported. Please help me. Its very urgent.
Thanks & Regards
Gurpreet Singh

There is no direct support for importing RTF from an XML extract. Perhaps feature 1514 "Mapping formatted XML data into multiline field" will be of some use. This was released in 11.0, I believe.
Essentially you can establish paragraph and certain text formatting like bold and underline when you include the proper token information in the data. I believe this is similar to simple HTML tokens.
Example: <FIELD>First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.</FIELD>
The result is something like this:
First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.

Adding Background to PDF: Using a source file in Saved Settings Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro...

I frequently need to print purchase orders and use another PDF file as the background. There is an option to save a setting in the "Add Background" option, but when this is used neither the background nor the positioning is adjusted. Any help or tips to simplify my process would be greatly appreciated as it is time consuming to browse for the file and adjust the positioning multiple times everyday.
Thanks.

Convert .txt file to .pdf using java code

Hi,
My requirement is to read the .txt file and convert it into .pdf file after changing certain text.
Searched the net got a document on iText ..is it the only way for conversion or any other method....please help.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja

Hi.
You could review this [url|http://www.roseindia.net/java/java-conversion/TextToPDF.shtml].
It is a good example to use the iText Library.
The other option could be [PDFBox|http://pdfbox.apache.org/].
Here some [example code|http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/cookbook/creation.html#HelloWorld].
Another option, but more complicated is [Apache FOP|http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/].
I hope you can find the right solution.
Kindest regards, have a great day

.doc to pdf using java

Hi
I need to convert word (doc) format to PDF and PDF to word
It is not possible to do only using iText.jar
If some body know please help me.
can I do this using xsl.I'm not sure since i don't know the format of a word doc

How about eXportXML (http://www.schultz.dk/exportxml/) and iText.
Perhaps, you can translate word -> XML -> PDF.
Good Luck ;-)

Problem displaying Arabic characters in PDF using Java APIs

We are experiencing a problem when attempting to display Arabic characters within a PDF document using the Java APIs.
The relevant Java code is as follows:
RTFProcessor processor = new RTFProcessor("example.rtf" );
processor.setOutput( “example.xsl” );
processor.setExtractXLIFF(true);
processor.process();
ByteArrayOutputStream dataOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DataProcessor dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
dataProcessor.setDataTemplate( example.xdt" );
if( parameterValues != null && parameterValues.length > 0 )
setReportParameters( dataProcessor, parameterValues ); // method to set any report parameters from the parameterValues list.
dataProcessor.setConnection( jdbcConnection );
dataProcessor.setOutput(dataOut);
dataProcessor.processData();
FOProcessor foProcessor = new FOProcessor();
foProcessor.setLocale( locale );
foProcessor.setData( new ByteArrayInputStream( dataOut.toByteArray() ) );
foProcessor.setTemplate( “example.xsl” );
String xliffFileNameAndPath = getXLIFFFile( “example”, locale );
if( xliffFileNameAndPath != null )
foProcessor.setXLIFF( xliffFileNameAndPath );
foProcessor.setOutput( "example.pdf" );
foProcessor.setOutputFormat(
outputFormat == PDF_FORMAT ? FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF : FOProcessor.FORMAT_HTML );
foProcessor.generate();
The method getXLIFFFile( ) gets the relevant XLIFF file for the supplied report locale (if it exists) – the three test files that we used were Italian (example_it_IT.xlf), Spanish (example_es_ES.xlf) and Arabic (example_ar_AE.xlf).
I imported the following JAR files from the XML Publisher release (version 5.6.2) into my Java application: collections.jar, i18nAPI_v3.jar, versioninfo.jar, xdocore.jar and xmlparserv2.jar.
The output is OK for all three translations in HTML format, using a charset of UTF-8, and for Italian and Spanish in PDF format. However, the Arabic characters display as question marks in PDF format. The same issue occurs if I stream the output as a byte array straight to the HTTP response rather than save within a file.
Note that the same RTF, XDT and XLIFF files produce the correct output in both HTML and PDF when executed within XMLPublisher.
Thank you

Hi
I had a similar issue with arabic chars. With PDF layout, chars were appearing properly when preveiwd on local m/c, but as I implement file on server, it was displayed as ?????. I had raised a TAR 5798348.993 with oracle about this and they suggested to apply patch 4028294 Oracle Sourcing J Rollup and then patch 4182914. But later my users changed requirement and i cud not apply the patch to test if it works fine.
But here, you have suggested that installing fonts would do. Is it really that simple? If yes, dont know what is that patch for which I was told to apply.
