Create a PDF with DDX that can be converted to PCL by generatePrintedOutput

Hi all,
I have a scenario that puzzles me a bit.
I have some forms that are Interactive forms (stored as XDP with the property Dynamic XML Form).
I need to assemble these xdp-forms (and fill them with data) and add it all up in one PDF. This PDf should be converted to PCL and later shipped off to a printer. However I see a conflict in doing this by using the Invoke DDX and generatePrintedOutput services.
I can easily create my PDF, but to make it work I have to include the <NoForms> tag in my DDX. However when I do this I end up with a non xfa-based PDF. When I try to pass this to the generatePrintedOutput service it complains that the form is not XFA-based.
If I then remove my <NoForms> tag from my DDX I get the error from Assembler telling me that "the baseDocument cannot be assembled becasuse it is an XFA-based form".
What am I doing wrong? Could you elaborate a little on the behavior of these two services.
I have found the link to the documentation on page 38 in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/ddxRef.pdf, however I don't think it tells me what is wrong.
Please advice
Thanks in advance

Open in PS and print to the Adobe PDF printer. However, a 448MB TIFF seems huge. At 200 dpi and 24 bit color (millions of colors) that leaves you with a 61inX61in graphic. Even at 600dpi, that is 20X20.
For us to help you, please indicate exactly how you are trying to convert from PhotoShop. For Acrobat, are you trying to open the TIFF in Acrobat directly? Is the TIFF a single sheet, or multiple sheet? There are a lot of unanswered questions for us.
One of the limitations on file size is the size of the temporary PS file that is created in the PDF creation process. This PS file is created in the TEMP folder that is limited by MS. So you might try emptying the TEMP folder.

  • Create a PDF. with Illustrator that Adobe Reader Can Edit

    How do I export a file to .PDF with a single line of text that can be edited with Adobe Reader. I'm Creating a sign template and the their is a spot for the price that needs to be changed every week with Adobe Reader. Is this possible

    As Larry said, a simple form field would work. Just be aware, that there is no way to control the formatting inside the field. They really only can type in their price and have to live with any discrepancies compared to the rest of the text.

  • How do I make PDF with layers that can be turned on and off?

    I am creating a map in Indesign CS4 and I want to have different layers that can be turned on and off.  Layers like different places and names that can be controled in Acrobat (and Reader).  Im not sure how to go about this and if this is something created through Acrobat or through InDesign.  I didnt see anything in ID when converting to a PDF that would save layers in that way so I assume its done in Acrobat Pro?  Just need and idea of where to start

  • Created a PDF with LiveCycle, I can open it using my Adobe Pro, but my friends can't...

    Hi,
    I created a PDF file using LiveCycle and I can easily open it with my Adobe Acrobat Pro on my laptop. However, my friends couldn't on their laptop. Is this even possible? Is it because they are using an older version of Adobe?

    Are you talking about LiveCycle Designer? Which version, and what did you set the compatibility setting to: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2009/02/11/careful-with-form-compatibility-settings/
    It would help a lot to know what version of Reader (or something else?) your friends are using.

  • I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit in Reader or Acrobat

    I need to create a PDF from InDesign that people can edit (for example, change a name from "John" to "Johnny") from either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. I have already looked at forms, but they do not keep your font colors, faces, and sizes and just make everything that is selected as a text form Black, 12pt, Times New Roman.
    Can anyone here help me?

    Vincent,
    If you use Acrobat pro, generate your .pdf file and then save it as (french version):
    ... so that anyone using Acrobat Reader (or Pro, of course) can modify the .pdf file (with limitations), add comments, ...
    If you want to try to "protect" your .pdf file, you can try with this (in the "Préférences" menu (french version)):

  • How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

    We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents.  We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
    We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
    Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

  • How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a big question:
    How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
    I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
    Is that Possible?
    Thanks!!!
    rgds.
    Miguel Angel.

    Hi,
    the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
    Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

  • Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

    I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
    If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.

  • Creating a .pdf with different page views

    I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views.  For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view".  Is this possible?   I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
    To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.

  • Creating a PDF with transparency without exporting to PDF (Mac)

    Hi
    I need to created a PDF from InDesign that has unflattened (native) transparency without using the export PDF command ( because of the flaw seen here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/537751?tstart=0 )
    I have tried exporting as an EPS and that flattens transparency and creating PS does as well.
    Any other ideas, settings or applications/utilities to try?
    Thanks
    -Andrew

    Thanks everyone that was what I thought.
    Peter: If we knew when it was happening then we can fix it, unfortunately there is no indicator when it will happen. We get jobs from all over North America from all kinds of designers so it could happen on any job.
    It is hard to say how many job it happens on as in most cases it wouldn't be noticed by the client as the amount is so small, and in some case it would happen in the bleed that gets trimmed.
    So far we have noticed the issue when it happens in a critical situation and haven't had any spoils but it is just a matter of time.
    We are going into Annual Reports soon as well as proffesional sport tickets both of which are critical clients.

  • Web dynpro screen with multiple rows with columns that can be edited

    Web dynpro screen with multiple rows with columns that can be edited individually:
    Hi
    I am busy creating a screen in web dynpro for ABAP which we would like to make available via Portal ESS (Portal 7).
    I need to add 'n type of table (or almost something like Excel) or something in which someone can type a few paycode numbers (there should be lets say 10 blank rows in which info can be typed in and if I click on a button or so, more rows must be added if necessary.  Then in the other colums stuff like amounts must be entered which one should also be able to edit then and there.
    Can anyone assist in what I can use for this?  There does not seem to be some existing element that I can use.
    Help will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Debbie

    Hi Debbie,
    Whiel Creating table you need to be care full that use chose INPUT FIELD as the CELL EDITOR. Just guessing that if ur table is not editable u might have choosen TextView as default cell editor type.
    check link for details on TABLE UI
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/EN/b5/ac884118aa1709e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
    easy way is to first add UI ELEMENT TABLE to your VIEW, then right click over it & select create binding from context. After you have a pop up where you can select what columns you want what should be its cell editor etc.
    Greetings
