Create PDF using DoCmd.Outputto method in legal size page

I am working in MS Access 2010. I am trying to convert a report to a PDF file. I am using the following command "DoCmd.Outputto acOutputReport, Report Name, acFormatPDF, FileName". The report I am using is formatted in legal page
size. When the PDF is created using letter size pages and the buttom of each page is cut off. I would like to find out why this is happening.
Bob Gouveia

Open the report in Design mode. Click Page Setup, go to the Page tab, and click the "Use Specific Printer" readio button. Click Printer. Select the Adobe PDF printer, then click Properties. Make sure Legal is the selected paper size. Click OK twice to get
back to the page setup window. Make sure the paper Size field is Legal, and Source is Automatically Select.
When I do this OutputTo --> PDF corretly uses the size (Legal) and orientation (Landscape) that I selected. Does this work for you?

Report does not render image when using DoCmd.OutputTo to PDF

Hello All.... and Happy new year !!!
I have a form that has an embedded report and a series of cmd buttons to print the report or export it to file and saves it.
In the report I have an Image object (a logo) that is in the header.
When I print the report to a printer or a PDF printer the image is present.
When I use DoCmd.OutputTo the report is properly exported to PDF and saved but the image is not present.
I've tried playing with the ExportQuality, the "fit to page", etc... but nothing seems to get it working.
here is the vba I use
'Open the report as hidden to filter the data
DoCmd.OpenReport reportToExport, acViewPreview, , filterReportBy, acHidden
'if we show the report
If (booSeeFile) Then
'export to pdf to save and autostart
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath, vbYes
Else
'export to pdf to save
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, reportToExport, acFormatPDF, filepath
End If
Any help would be great !

given that you've gone 12 hours with no reply; I generally don't have any problem with the logo going from the Report object to the PDF export. When a report is opened on screen - right click - and one of the choices is 'Export To' and one of those
choices is 'PDF or XPS' - - - just try that as a sanity check....
there are 2 kinds of image controls - I can't remember off hand their formal name but one has the image embedded permanently inside the report object and so this one should go to the PDF.....the other type is a file link to the image for which the advantage
is that image can be dynamically changed on the fly. This second type probably will not appear in an export as the file link is probably broken....
hope this helps a little......

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

I am unable to create pdf using adobe printer to a redirected folder on a server running windows server 2003

In the app-server-ant.xml file, as indiacted in the error message i am getting, at line 145 it is suppose to get the path to \bin\asadmin.bat from the value of a paramater called 'asadmin'. This value is being set in the beginning of the file.
The parameter value of 'asadmin' is further referring to value of another parameter called 'javaee.home' which is being set in tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/bp-project/build.properties
I have checked the values of both these parameters and they are set correctly, so since it is still giving me problems, at line 145 i hard coded the path instead of the parameter name:
I replaced line
<exec executable="${asadmin}" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
with
<exec executable="c:/sun/appserver/bin/asadmin.bat" failonerror="${failonerror}" dir="${javaee.home}">
This works.

Scrollbar appearing while creating pdf using AlivePDF

Hi,
I am facing a problem while creating pdf using AlivePDF.
I have a VBox on which I am adding multiple pages. If the content overflows it shows scrollbar. All this is working fine.
[PHP]
<mx:VBox x="0" y="80" width="705" height="560" id="content"></mx:VBox>
[/PHP]
When I create the pdf using the following code it shows scrollbar in generated pdf (attached screenshot) while I want all the content without scrollbar
[PHP]
var pg:DisplayObject;
pg = content.getChildAt(i);
var pdf:PDF;
pdf = new PDF (Orientation.PORTRAIT, Unit.POINT, Size.LETTER);
pdf.setDisplayMode(Display.FULL_WIDTH);
pdf.addPage();
pdf.addImage(pg, new Resize(Mode.FIT_TO_PAGE, Position.CENTERED ),0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,true,'PNG',100);
[/PHP]
Please suggest what changes should I make to fix this.

If the report didn't change, then perhaps the data did. Check
to make sure the data being supplied to the report is as expected.
I have run into mysterious errors where an expected value was of
the wrong type or a required value was now blank. It is also
possible to have existing logical errors in an iif() or other
dynamic evaluation expression that was not previously examined;
until now. So, is there any unexpected or exceptional data the
report cannot handle?

Creating PDF using BAPI

Hi,
I am trying to create PDF using BAPI. I got one BAPI(Z_MM_EPSP_BAPI_GET_PO_PDF). That bapi returns bytecodes. How can I generate PDF file using this BAPI output in BLS. Give some example
Thanks & Regards

Art,
Are you familiar with xMII at all? I would like to answer your question but it seems more like a tutoring lesson rather than a technical problem.
Please post a problem and not how somone can help you do your work. Unless of course you are willing to paypal some money over. :-D

Report parameters when using DoCmd.OutputTo

OK,
Thank you one and all for answering my last question. I have another one. OK, I can set the report's parameters using the where clause part of the DoCmd.OpenReport. Great! But I also save that report as a text file using the following command
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptSalesInvoiceEntryWineShip", acFormatTXT, strInvoicePath & Me.txtInvoiceNumber & ".txt", False
Unfortunately, there is no where clause part available!! OK, any ideas here. thanks!!

The other way to do this, which avoids having to open the report in print preview, is to base the report on a query which references a control on a form (presumably the txtInvoiceNumber control in your case), as a parameter.
As it happens there is a demo file which does exactly this, using a simple invoicing database as the example, as InvoicePDF.zip, in my public databases folder at:
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=44CC60D7FEA42912&id=44CC60D7FEA42912!169
You might have to copy and paste the text of the above (not copy the link location) into your browser; for some reason it sometimes doesn't seem to work as a hyperlink.
As its name suggests this creates a PDF file of the invoice, which is primarily what the demo is for, but it will work just the same if outputting to a text file.

Creating PDF using ITEXT API's - error

Hi,
In my WebDynpro Application I want to generate a PDF (using ITEXT API's) out of the data retrieved from back end system .
I used this source code.
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
document.open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cell;
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("ONE"));
table.addCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("TWO"));
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);
document.close();
byte[] b = new byte[100 * 1024];
b = document.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
IWDCachedWebResource pdfRes = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(b, WDWebResourceType.PDF, WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE,      wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"FileNameHelloText"));
I have used Window Manager to create a external window with the URL from pdfRes.getUrl() method.
After execution i get a pop up window with out PDF document.
Please let me know your thoughts & solutions to the above mentioned problem.

Problem exporting crystal PDF using printoutputController.export method

Has anyone used PrintOutputController().export() method in ReportClientdocument to export Crystal PDF report to a JavaIOStream. I am getting an error when I try to export it using this method. The error I get is unable to connect RAS.rptappsrver followed by classcast unable to export to IXMLSerializable. Here is the code I am using.
Is there some setting I need to enable on the server to use the export function or any other idea will be appreciated?
IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("","RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(reportID, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
return reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);

Here is the answer. After getting ReportClientDoc from factory we need to set the DatabaseController userid and password (if report on Crystal server is accessing oracle database as datasource). In addition we need to set parameters on the ReportClientDoc for reports and subreports before doing the the export.
Here is snippet of code: The code below is used to get ReportClientDocument and export it as PDF using bytestream.
/* Code for getting report client document */
private static synchronized ReportClientDocument getReportClientDocument() throws Exception
         int count = 3;
         ReportClientDocument rpt = null;

Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
My idea is:
1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
Thanks for your help.

Issue creating PDF using IE plugin (Web Capture 10.0)

Hello,
Hopefully someone can assist with this and /or confirm it is a bug.
We are using Adobe X 10.1.4 with IE9 32bit.
Problem:
User creates a PDF using the "Covert" button located on the toolbar. The issue is that this PDF is saved with permission only allowing that user and administrators access to the document. In Windows the file appears with a padlock.
it doesn't matter what the security settings are on the folder -- somehow Adobe always changes the permission when creating the file using the Convert button.
If I create the SAME PDF in the same folder using the File -> Print -> Adobe PDF -- I have no issues. The PDF is created and inherits the permissions of the folder.
Now if I do the same tests using the Mozilla plug-in I have no issue -- the file is created with the correct permissions.
This is driving me and my users crazy as we use a terminal server and multiple people need to access these PDF documents that are being locked.
Thanks for the input!

Hi,
KIndly update your Acrobat to the latest version available and see, if the issue is still present!

Best Practices for creating PDFs using PLPDF?

Does anyone have any suggestions for Best Practices in making PDF files using PLPDF?
I have been using it for about a month now, and the best that I have come up with is to use MS Access to prototype the layout of a report. Once I have all the graphics areas and text areas lined up how I would want them, I then write PLSQL code to create a procedure which is called from an HTMLDB page. MS Access is handy in that it provides the XY coordinates for each text area and graphics area. It also provides the dimensions of the respective cells. So long as I call plpdf.Init('P', 'in', 'letter') at the beginning of the procedure, both my MS Access prototype and my plpdf code are both using inches - this makes the translation relatively easy.
Has anybody found anything else easier/better?
Regards,

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

Creating PDFs using Pages and Mail

Hi,
I'm a contractor and I use Pages and Mail to to create PDFs of invoices that I email to clients in the form of attachments. I have Mail set up to to send only Windows friendly attachments, and to put them at the end of emails. I have one client, the facilities director of a large community college, who consistently cannot open the attachments; he can read the text of the emails, but he cannot open the attachments. He has to send them to his IT department, where they use a mac computer of some kind to open the attachments, which they send them back to him. I've discussed this with their IT department, and they've told me that they have to use a mac to open my attachments. If anyone can offer some advice on this issue, I'd appreciate it.

I know from my own experience that although there should be no problems with Mail's attachments, just once in a while recipients have the problems you describe.
The solution that worked for me 100% reliably was to install the paid for plug-in Attachment Tamer from: lokiware.info
You can use it for free to test it before committing to purchase, but I'm pretty sure all your recipients will be able to cope with all your attachments.
To elaborate, I used to have to send numerous attachments every day to mostly PC users. Randomly some would complain that I'd either forgotten to include the attachment (I hadn't) or they couldn't read it/open it/save it, etc. It's quite likely the fault was in the way their email client was configured. All I know is that as soon as I installed Attachment Tamer (it was Mail Attachments Iconizer back then) I never had any more complaints. For the knowledge that I wasn't going to be pestered into trying different ways of sending the files I was happy to pay for the plugin.
(Usual caveat: I have no connection with Lokiware, but very happy to recommend their product).

Cannot Create PDF Using "Create PDF" Function in Acrobat 8

I can create by using "save as" in my Office programs, but only from the Windows Explorer box, not from the menu. However, I can no longer "create pdf" nor "combine files" inside Acrobat 8. I get reinstall message. It starts and hangs up. I tried reinstalling from CD. I use this feature a lot to create files and it just quit. Nothing new has been installed that might interfere. I've made sure that the distiller is not inactive. Thoughts?

Unfortunately, alot of us had to upgrade to Office 2010 ...its very unfortunate that adobe doesn't warn us up front about the imcompatibiity problem before they took our money. Granted they can't give us warnings about every compatibility issue..but considering that MS. Office PDF comversions is a big marketing interest for adobe, I for one would have liked to have known that before I paid for adobe for 9, for I would have waited for 10

Until Adobe releases Acrobat 10 do not upgrade to MS Office 2010!!!
It appears that with the release of Acrobat 10, much of Adobe's support to Acrobat versions 7, 8 and 9 will be reduced to the very minimum updates.
Many CAD programs require upgrades to newer versions of Acrobat. But Acrobat does not support all CAD programs.
