Create an ExtendScript to create PDFs...object help

Hi Adobe Framer Community-
Does anyone know which FM Object the Constants.FV_SaveFmtBookWithFm property value constant is a property of? I think it's a property of the Doc object, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on how to work with this and/or to confirm this.
I am working on an ExtendScript script to automate the PDF process from DITA/XML files in FrameMaker 11 and following the directions on pg. 11 of the Adobe FrameMaker 10 Scripting Guide (also outlined very nicely on FrameAutomation.com) to get the notification set up. I'm using Constants.FA_Note_PreSaveDoc here, and I can get an alert to display the iparam (=0), the sparam (=..\GettingStarted.fm), and the object type (=object Doc).
So if the notification tells me the object type is Doc when I perform a Save Ditamap As -> Book 11 with fm components (*.book), how do I determine what (in the Doc object) the Constants.FV_SaveFmtBookWithFm property goes to? As far as I can tell, the Doc object contains the first page, followed by the paragraphs, etc. Does the Constants.FV_SaveFmtBookWithFm property value belong to some other object perhaps?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Diana

Hi Rick,
Thanks very much! It sounds like I should try adding the Constants.FA_Note_PreFileType to the switch in my setupNotifications function. I'll try playing around with that first and see if I can make some headway before calling.
When the notification is received, I want my script to copy template files that are either landscape or portrait in orientation into the default directory my ditafm-output.ini file is pointing to for my output files (based on the actual file name of the ditamap being saved as book 11 w/fm components).
Basically, I want to remove user error and have FrameMaker automatically copy the correctly-oriented template files into the default output directory so, for example, when I save my user guide (landscape) I don't let it churn for 40 minutes only to discover I forgot to change the output templates to landscape, and the entire guide (incorrectly) appears in portrait.
I'll see what I can try today/tonight and then will most likely call you tomorrow!
Thanks,
Diana

Error while creating PDF object

We are using Adobe Interactive Forms with Guided Procedures. Netweaver 7.0 SP14 (Dual stack Java & Abap). All was working well it appears until we configured SSL for ADS - don't know for sure if this caused the problem but it is the only change we can identify around the time that our problems began.
When we attempt to Create an Impersonalized Form we receive the following error -
Cannot retrieve template structure: Execution ended in an unrecognized state
When we attempt to test a callable object associated with an interactive form we receive -
Error while creating PDF object: PDF object could not be created; object returned from ADS is null.
In both cases the entries in the default trace log are the same -
Service XMLFormService: Native process (PID=0) /usr/sap/UFD/DVEBMGS02/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/XMLFormService/bin/XMLForm.exe terminated abnormally with error code 134
PDF object could not be created; object returned from ADS is null
com.sap.caf.eu.gp.base.exception.EngineException: PDF object could not be created; object returned from ADS is null
at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.iforms.adapter.pdf.AdobePDFAdapter.createInstanceDocument(AdobePDFAdapter.java:542)
at com.sap.caf.eu.gp.model.iforms.preproc.FormPreprocessor.execute(FormPreprocessor.java:507)
Like I mentioned earlier this functionality was working successfully in our environment at one time.
Any guidance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
If you originally configured ADS without SSL, I would recommend going back through the ADS Configuration Guide for your NetWeaver stack and make sure all the necessary changes for SSL were made. I've seen another case where a step was missed in SSL configuration for ADS which caused a form to error.
If everything looks good based on your SSL configuration, I would recommend creating an OSS Note.

How to create a smallest file size pdf from indesign CS4 document

How to create a smallest file size pdf (suitable for upload to a website) from indesign CS4 document which contains multiple illustrator CS4 illustrations.
I have chosen the "smallest file size option" but the pdf file is over 30MB, can anyone help please.
Thank you

One trick is to
Set the placed graphics to have a transparency of 99.9% (you can do this with Find/Change and select Objects)
This is enough to force the graphics throught the Transparency Flattener
Next set the Transparency Blend Space to RGB (Edit>Transparency Blend Space)
Next set a custom Transparency Flattner Preset Edit>Transparency Flattner
Next
Use File>Export and choose
Smallest file size
PDF Compatibility Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
In Advanced Section - go to transparency and selec the new Flattener Preset you created.
*this will convert your vectors to raster, but it should reduce your file size

Hi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.

How to create a link in a PDF pointing to PDF attachment in the same document.

I have Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 and I want to create a link inside a PDF document which points to the PDF attachment in the same document. Though I'm able to do this with the help of the documentation at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Standard/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102bd61 5109794195ff-7cad.html but the issue is that whenever I click on the link my original document closes and the attached PDF opens.
Is there a way to open the PDF (attachment) in a new window when user clicks on the link in the parent PDF?

How do I create working hyperlinks in embedded PDF email attachments.

Hi,
I have created a PDF with a working hyperlink in it leading to my website. The link works when viewing the PDF in acrobat but when I put it into the message of my email the link is no longer clickable. I'm sure I've seen this done before but have no idea how to make it work. I have tried various things, can anyone help?
I am using In-design Student edition CS4 to create hyperlinks and export to PDF Acrobat reader 9. I would like to embed the pdf with working links into an Outlook 2003 message but could use Gmail or hotmail as alternatives.
Thanks.

Pages '09 ≠ Pages 5.01.
You have the bugs and reduced features of Pages 5, the version you recently installed.
Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that instead.

How to create authorization in BI 7.0 objects

Dear Friends,
how to create authorization in BI 7.0 objects. Pls any body help. tghjis is morevhelpful for me
Regards
Ramana

give the user name to whom you have to give the authorizations.
maintain user then you can see the roles tab where you can assign the roles for the user.
for these roles you can assign the authorization objects. when you double click on the roles you can get the maintenance of the role where you can edit or give the authorization objects for that role.
some example for the authorization objects are:
S_RS_ADMWB (Datawarehouse workbench-objects), S_RS_IOBJ(Datawarehouse workbench-Infoobject), S_RS_DS(Datawarehouse workbench-Datasoure for release greater than 3.X), S_RS_DTP(Datawarehouse workbench-DTP's) etc
You can edit these authorization objects like providing them display or create or modifying authorizations

How to create Webi Reports with SAP BW Objects

Hi,
I have no knowledge on creating webi reports with SAP BW Objects like (InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject).
As per my understanding Webi reports can be developed with universe which is created on BEx Queries or OLAP BAPI interface, unfortunately i don't have BEx App installed. So, i have to create OLAP universe in this case.
Here my question is can we create universe with all the available BW objects like InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject.
Please, Can anyone suggest a solution
Thanks,
Siva
Edited by: siva@chinni on Apr 25, 2010 4:45 PM

Hi,
Yes we can create WebI on the top of SAP Objects - InfoCube, DSO, Characteristics etc...
But we have to keep in mind that for WebI we must create Universe.
When we create universe we make direct connection with SAP Objects but we get less functionality - such Calculated Key Figures, Restricted Key Figures, formulas etc. Now you have to achieve all these missing components at Universe Level and at WebI level.
If you are creating your universe on the top of DSO and InfoObject then make sure they set for reporting.
There are some online documentation which tells that what functionality you can achieve.
Check the following document to have a bird's eye view.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/100369a7-033e-2c10-94a4-f254f8578153?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
There is another document in PPT which I could not find online. It is very helpful document. It is:

What kind of file are you getting back (assuming Reader) -- PDF, FDF, or XML? If one of the 2 latter file types then use the Forms>Manage Data>Import after you open the basic form in Acrobat.
