CP5.5 - PDF Output - should it retain Relative Links to Data?

I am creating PPT slides with animation, then importing into CP5.5.
In CP5.5 I add some relative links (such as DataSupport.zip) to one slide.
Why doesn't the Adobe PDF maintain the Relative Link and try to open the zip file (the data support file is in the same folder as the PDF) ?

PDF output not including links

I've searched these forums and read posts that the problem with links not working in PDF output should have been fixed in version 6. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 8 (with all suggested patches), but when I create a PDF output it has no links in body text or in the Related Topics list at the end of each topic. I went into the PDF settings dialog box and checked for the PDF to include links, but it's not working.
I'm developing in Windows XP creating WebHelpPro.
What must I do to get links to work in a PDF (other than on the Bookmarks tab)?
Thank you.
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia
Out of curiosity, what do the links point to?
My thought is perhaps it is a type of link that isn't really capable of being transferred to PDF.
Cheers... Rick

Extra Page coming in the PDF output -- Urgent

Hi All,
I have created an AR Invoice Print report (pre-printed).
size of the stationary is half of A4.
In a single A4 page two invocies will be accommodated.
Here i have not used page break concept. I have adjusted the template with spaces.
But when are invoices are given in a range lets say 1 to 10.
The PDF output should have 5 pages accommodating 2 invoice in each page (this is working perfectly), but with this an extra black page is also getting generated. (The PDF is having 6 pages).
If the range is given between 1 to 9 the extra blank page will not get generated.
Is there any way to solve this issue???
It little bit urgent.. :)
Regards,
Jana

Check on the "Anatomy of a Template I & II"... should work on your case. Also, make sure extra carriage returns and unnecessary spaces between tables are removed. If you use fillers, be sure to have the same height attribute as the field being filled.

PDF output not retaining same formatting as done in RTF

Hi All,
I have created a RTF template and need to show the output in PDF. Now in the RTF, as per the requirements, I am not enclosing my form fields in any table or inside any tabular cells. So I have to display the output something like this
Name : Peter
Age : 30 years
Address : New Jersy
Dept : Accounts
but after placing the form fields in their right places, when I see the output in PDF, the formatting is lost and values are NOT displayed at their desired places as set in the RTF template. So I get the PDF output something like this
Name : Peter
Age:
30 years
Address :
New Jersy
Dept :
Accounts
Is there a method to fix the form fields so that they don't move and i get the output in the same way as I have designed in the RTF template.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

How to customize CHM and PDF output

I can easily generate CHM and PDF using the Generate Output option offered by DITA-FMx, but the output is just standard and I would like to customize it according to the company style. Which files should I work on to modify fonts, colours, indentation, etc, both for CHM and PDF?

For PDF output, you should be using the Generate Book from Map command. This is one of the main reasons to use FrameMaker for DITA .. the high quality PDF output. You'll never achieve the same level of quality through XSL-FO as you do through native Frame. See this video for info on leveraging DITA-FMx features for PDF publishing ..
http://blog.leximation.com/2010/03/pdf-publishing-with-dita-fmx-1-1/
To customize the formatting of any output generated through the DITA Open Toolkit (which is what is used by the Generate Output command), you have to modify the XSL and CSS files in the DITA-OT. The "proper" way to do this is to create an OT plugin that provides you with a custom Ant target that does exactly what you want. You can then deliver this plugin to others on your team who need to generate the same output, and you haven't mucked around with the core OT files. You can also just dive in and tweak the files directly, but when you break something you won't be able to test with the original files without restoring from backups.
You can start by tweaking the CSS files, but if you need to make structural modifications to the way the HTML is generated, you'll need to do some XSL work. Note that setting the @outputclass value on the DITA topic files, passes that value into the corresponding element in the @class attribute of the generated HTML. This is a good way to allow you to control formatting of specific elements.
The best place to go for instructions/info on exactly which files to modify in the OT and how to build a plugin, is the dita-users Yahoo group. This is definitely the list to be on for anything that relates to the DITA-OT.
Scriptorium Publishing has a nice whitepaper on customizing the OT ..

Also, the dita.xml.org website has some useful info.

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.

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%

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

Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

Hi All,
I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

Hi Bogdan,
The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
Available fields are Font Name and File
--> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
--> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
Select your new mapping set.
Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

PDF output in character mode

Hi,
We are trying to print a XML out put in PDF format using dot matrix printer. The problem is, the dot matrix printer is printing in graphic mode, i.e. each line is printed as two halves. We need each character to be printed as a whole character. Due to graphic mode printing the report is not legible. Suggest some font that can be used in the template which will appear legible in dot matrix.
Or any other way to print the PDF output in character mode.
Regards,
Anupam

Hi,
this sounds like a printer driver / firmware issue. I'd suggest to discuss that issue with the printer vendor and maybe get support from them to get the printer working for PDF files.
Another option is to put some filters in the print queue to convert the PDF into other formats, bitmap or postscript or whatever the printer understands.
I don't think this is a problem related to BI Publisher, as long as the PDF displays fine on your screen.
best regards,
David.

Frame artifacts appearing in PDF output

I have a problem with faint artifacts of object frames, rectangle frames and diagonals, etc. appearing in a PDF output when viewed in Acrobat Reader.They are hairline thin and are not visible in the InDesign document on screen.
Here are the circumstances of it occurring:
I'm using CS5.
The PDF is output for a publication that requires PDF X-1a:2003 standard.
The artwork, and any placed images are in CMYK. Transparency blend space is set to Document CMYK.
The background layer for the ad. is rich black 50:0:0:100 and the artifacts are showing up over a white logo.
Placed near the logo is a transparent background PSD image file with a drop shadow on the subject. (This object frame is one of the artifact sources) If this image is removed, the problem disappears.
Tif files don't seem to cause the same problem, but I'm having difficulty placing tifs and retaining transparency; the background always turns white, which doesn't happen with PSDs.
Be grateful of advice as to preventing this happening; Thanks.

We can confirm with a screen shot, but it sounds like a flattening artifact known as stitching. This shows on screen in the PDF, and often in a low-resolution print, but usually is not a problem on press.
You have to specifically opt to save transparency in the Tiff options dialog. You'll find once you do, though, that the stitching returns -- it's the transparency and flattening that causes this.
You can embed a screen shot using the camera icon on the web page like this:

How To use Arial (Cyrillic) font in Reports 10g for PDF output

Hi,
My reports are in Arial (Cyrillic) font, but there are only hieroglyphes in pdf output. Is there a problem with fonts on Report Server or something else?
My Report Server is 10g R2 (10.1.2.2) and OS is RHEL 4.
I followed metalink notes 750805.1 and 356221.1 but it didn't help me.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).
