Adobe Reader cannot read HTML. If you have Acrobat on a Macintosh or Windows computer, you can do this.

  • Help converting html/xhtml to pdf with bfo pdf lib or other tools?

    Hi,
    I need to convert from xhtml to pdf. I tried parsing it with xerces and crimson but wouldnt work. So the samples coming with big faceless pdf library dosent work. Is there any other method to convert html/xhtml to pdf - any libraries for direct conversion. BFO pdf report generator takes xml as i/p to convert to pdf.
    Thanks for any help

  • Bitmap image won't show after converting HTML file to pdf

    I have a program which saves a technical report as a HTML file. I don't  have another choice as to file type to save as. This program has a  template which generates the report....and there are fields which are  filled in...some text fields, and one is a company logo. Just to be  clear the logo itself is not in the template, a holding place is there  which points to the location of the logo on my drive. This is all set up  by the program and can't be altered.
    If I save the logo as a jpg, png or tiff file, the logo shows up in the  final HTML report and if I use Adobe Professional (version 7.0 on Win XP)  to create a pdf the  image also shows up - a perfect replica of the report is created in pdf,  making it convenient for printing and email.
    If I save the logo as a bitmap file (which creates a higher resolution  and sharper looking logo) the logo shows up in the initial HTML  technical report, but when I convert this to pdf the file is not found,  instead it shows as a small square red box with the error "Bad file  image" or "unable to download image".
    I can't understand why this would be the case as the logo is saved in  the same location whether it is jpg, png, tiff or bmp. It just seems  that the Adobe Pro doesn't know how to "find" the bitmap logo from the  HTML template. 
    I did try converting the HTML document to Word but it threw the  formatting out and when it was converted to pdf it cropped the page  & I wasn't able to resolve this...maybe it can be done but it is a  long way around in any case, particularly if steps then need to be taken  to correct the formatting.
    At the moment the document can be printed with success from the original  format - then it's a matter of scanning the printed document in order  to email. It can't be emailed directly because of the embedded  information which is lost if then sent to the recipient's computer.  However it would be nice if the doc could be converted to pdf which  would then make it easier to transfer the file to a backup drive or for  email.  Any ideas? Thanks

    Thanks for your response. Yes I did mean .bmp files.
    The problem is not getting it to show in HTML - but Adobe then picking it up from there. I guess though if it is not a standard format for HTML then maybe Adobe has trouble recognising it if it is there. Also, it is possible for Adobe to convert .bmp files if they are inserted in the HTML file, but I have instead a template with the code for the location of the file rather than the graphic itself.  I don't have this problem using the other file formats and getting them into pdf...it's just that the images aren't as sharp as the bmp. I have tried various formats and resolutions so if there isn't a way I can get the bmp from the HTML file into pdf I might just have to live with printing and scanning from the original. Thanks for your input, it confirms what I was thinking. I'll leave this unanswered for now in case someone else has further information.

  • Convert HTML-Spool to PDF

    Hi experts,
    I'm looking for a possibility to conbvert a Spool-request to PDF fomrat.
    Following situation:
    I have a Web Dynpro that creates a page with a few material details. I can now export this to Excel, but now the requeiremt is also to convert it to PDF.
    We don't have ADS, so I can't use Adobe forms. First, I tried to create a Smartform and convert this to PDF which will work. But I have also a few pictures included which come from a Web Service (as JPG). After searchin a while I found a possibilty to convert them to TIF and insert them in SE78 automatically. But this takes to much time and as a result of insert them to SE78, the colors will change (only 256 colors).
    Next idea was to generate a HTML-Mail out of my Smartform (regaring this blog /people/pavan.bayyapu/blog/2005/08/30/sending-html-email-from-sap-crmerp) what works perfectly now.
    So now I have a Spool in SOST which contains a HTML file. OK, looks great, all pictures are included, takes not much time - but how to convert this to PDF?
    Anybody any ideas?

    Hi experts,
    after searching the whole forum and internet, I don't find any solution.
    Maybe the convertion from Spool to PDF is not possible...
    OK, another idea:
    I read that the wrong colors result from the different color depth (16/24 bit vs 256 colors). So my last idea is to convert the image before inserting into BDS (SE78), automatically done by SAP.
    Is there any function/coding you know which can convert me a image from 24bit to 256 colors? If so, I can convert the image and then insert into BDS...

  • How to convert HTML files to PDF files.

    Hi,
    I have an urgent requirement explained below:
    I need to convert my HTML files to PDF file from JAVA program.
    Please help me with your suggestions.
    Your help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks &Regards

    Try FOP and XSL style sheets. Although RPWithey is
    correct that there is nothing to magically change a
    viewable HTML file to PDF you can convert a single
    HTML file to XML and use FOP to create a PDF. You will
    need to manage the transition though.
    If you want to change a random HTML file into PDF
    dynamically this would take quite a bit more work. You
    might be able to use JTidy to convert the HTML to XML
    and then FOP to get to PDF but it will likely not be
    formatted the way you wish.That's true - FOP does do that, doesn't it. It must have to make certain assumptions about the appearance of the output. If the output from the stylesheet is an HTML file, you might be able to bypass that bit altogether. I haven't really looked at FOP, although I've read the overview. Check it out at http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html.

  • Converting HTML Forms to PDF - Field Names

    When I use Adobe 8 to convert and HTML form to PDF all the field names in the resulting PDF have the crazy long names that are jumble of letters and numbers. So I always have to go back through and manually rename every field because I'm using another program to autopopulate the fields with data. Is there any way to get Acrobat to automatically name the fields in the PDF the same as they are named in the form either using the "name" or "id" properties of the HTML fields? I don't understand why this isn't the default behaviour to begin with.

    The reason this is done is due to a fundamental difference between HTML forms and Acrobat forms. In HTML forms, fields with the same name do not necessarily share the same value, whereas in Acrobat forms they do.
    In the conversion process, Acrobat gives each field a unique name, but also sets a field's mapping name to the name the field had in the original HTML form. This is so that if the PDF form is used to submit as "HTML", then the original field names will be used and any server process that is capable of dealing with the HTML form is capable of dealing with the resulting PDF form. So be aware that if you want to use your modified form to submit to a web server using the "HTML" format, the new field names that you set will not be used. What will be used are the hidden mapping names.
    Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything you can do about any of this to make it work like you want.

  • Sliced Images are Broken after Converting HTML into a PDF

    I am trying to create a PDF of a webpage and after Acrobat converts it, the page is broken apart in multiple pieces. I noticed that this is happening to images that are sliced. Does anyone know how to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks!

    Just to clarify, I only want a PDF image of the web page -no functionality of it. The equivalent of a "print-screen" of the page without the IE window/toolbar etc. I need to have it in PDF format for printing purposes.
    ASP code is also appearing in the PDF and I don't want this to occur.

  • Is it allowed to convert html pages to pdf:s on a webserver?

    Hi,
    I read a web discussion some where on the web there  somebody claimed it was not allowed to generate pdf files of html pages on a webserver. Is this correct?
    If it is allowed my followup question is how you do it with C# and any of the Acrobat libs?
    Best regards

    Thank you for the quick response.
    Too bad I can't use Acrobat on a webserver. Among other things I had my hopes on using the full Adobe suits I bought earlier for this.
    How do I proceed in that case?
    Many sites that I shop at send me their invoice/receipt as a pdf and I think it is a greate feature/service they have there. Do you happen to know how they do (software that's used and so on) then they generate their pdf:s?
    Best regards

  • Convert HTML to PDF or AFP

    As part of the project we have to convert html documents to PDF or AFP. We tried with different tools like HTMLDOC and we are not able to get the perfect matching tool. Any help on finding the best tool for conversion of HTML to PDF or AFP will be appreciated.
    My basic requirement is
    1) The conversion process needs to be automated
    2) the tool has to run on Linux.
    3) Everything in the page (text, image etc) should be extracted in a single file
    Background
    A batch job which runs on Q&R cache servers to run every evening. The job has a list of 1500 symbols which iterates through and does an http get of the Stock Summary page for each ticker in the list. The next step is to launch HTMLDOC or another tool to convert to PDF, APF, or other format.

  • Need help - CONVERTING HTML to PDF

    A friend of mine has tasked me to research on a Java API that converts HTML files to PDF... Does anyone know about this?
    I've been browsing the net for an hour now and i still haven't got a plausible solution to his problem... Can you guys help me with this?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks... :)

    Done, I'd be glad to send

    Strangely, many options that
    work fine as standalone, appear
    to be disabled now, options
    like... in menu Edition: Undo,
    Redo; in menu Format: Table, Link;
    all the Table menu options.Undo and redo are active if there is something to undo or redo only. As well many table actions are only active when the caret is inside a table. See also the source code: class FrmMain contains almost all actions as inner classes (a design I changed in later applications). Each action class has a method 'update' which takes care of enabling or displaing an action depending on certain conditions.
