Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

Hi all,
We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment.
For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Dheeraj Tolani

Problems deleting pdf's generated from files off of Snow Leopard Server

The small design studio I work at has just upgraded from G5's running 10.4 Tiger, working off Tiger Server, to new iMacs running 10.6 Snow Leopard and a Mac Mini Server, on Snow Leopard Server.
Normal working practice is to open files off the server across the network, making changes and saving them back down. Most of the time, a pdf will be generated from the file to send to the client when copy changes have been made, then saving down the pdf file to the iMac to email to the client.
The issue is now that when the pdf has been emailed, attempting to delete it brings up a warning window that 'You do not have sufficient accesses privileges to delete the file' and this then has to be done by selecting secure empty trash.
We are all registered users on the Mac Mini Server and this was not an issue we had when using Tiger.
Could anyone suggest any setting changes that would be required to get around this issue?
As a note, all the work files were originally on a older G4 being used as a sever and were copied to the new Mac Mini Server, that was set up as a new machine and was not done via transfer files.
Thanks
Ben

Hello Ben,
I'm very sorry, but this is not the correct forum in which to post your question! Universal Access is the facility for ensuring that all Mac users can benefit fully from their machines, regardless of disability.
Try Snow Leopard Server—Installation, Setup and Migration instead!

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server

I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?

Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.

Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
Any idea what happen there???
Thanks a lot

"Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

Wrong PDF file generated from FM 10 book

Sometimes when I generate a PDF from a FrameMaker 10 unstructured book, the generated PDF overwrites an existing file with a totally different name and location. After I try a few times without changing anything, it finally does it right. Any ideas?

If you really want to get to the bottom of what's grabbing and overwriting(?) your files, you could use Microsoft's Sysinternals Process Monitor (Procmon) available from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
You can configure the filters to watch what's going on in a folder or on a file, but it's a bit geeky to setup all the filters - it also logs a ton of data, so interpreting it or tracking down an event could also be tedious. If you have an IT department, they should be consulted and could help set this up.
Here is an article that details how to set up the Process Monitor to watch specific files:
http://www.veryant.com/support/phpkb/question.php?ID=136
Otherwise, just run Distiller with the Ask setting, to see if something odd is happening at this stage. If you're still getting mysterious deletions, then dig deeper with the Process Monitor.

XIR2 - Date format problem in pdf file when scheduled to refresh

We have a number of Deski reports that are scheduled to refresh daily and then be saved as pdfs to a network drive. Despite the date format being correctly displayed in the reports stored in the respository, when the scheduled jobs save the reports as pdfs, it is changing the date format to the American format, i.e. 11/13/2007 instead of 13/11/2007. I've checked both the Date/Time and Regional Settings on the server and they are set correctly. If I log into Deski on the server and open a report and manually save it as a pdf, it saves it with the UK format.
So what do I need to change to get the scheduled job to use the UK date format?

Hi Anne,
If you schedule reports through Infoview then please perform below steps.
- Login to Infovinfoview -> go to Preferences.
- Change the My interface locale is to "English (UK)" and My current Timezone to appropriate time zone under Genera tab.
- Log off and login again.
- Try to schedule the report to PDF or any other format and check the issue.
If you schedule reports through CMC, then change Timezone setting to appropriate timezone in Preferences and schedule the reports.
Thanks and Regards,
Purna.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

How to populate/import data in a XSD file generated from a webservice

HI All,
I have an XSD file generated from the webserive using the CRM FM E2C_DOWNLOAD_CRT_SCHEMA.
I created a Adobe form with the Adobe life cycle designer using the XSD file.
However Data will have to be entered manually in this adobe form and cannot be pre-populated with data, How do we pre-populate data in the Adobe form generated from XSD file of the above CRM FM.

This is what you need:
integer li_fhandle, li_rcode = 1, li_sfound = 0, li_idx = 0, li_eqpos, i
string ls_filename = 'C:\app.ini'
string ls_line, as_key[], as_val[]
string ls_section = '[General]'
// OPEN INI FILE
li_fhandle = FileOpen(ls_filename, LineMode!)
IF IsNull(li_fhandle) OR li_fhandle < 1 THEN
// DO NOTHING
ELSE
DO WHILE li_rcode > 0
li_rcode = FileRead(li_fhandle, ls_line)
IF li_rcode > 0 THEN
IF POS(ls_section, ls_line) > 0 THEN
li_sfound = 1
CONTINUE
END IF
IF li_sfound = 0 THEN CONTINUE
IF POS(ls_line, '[') > 0 AND POS(ls_line, ']') > 0 THEN EXIT
li_eqpos = POS(ls_line, '=')
li_idx++
as_key[li_idx] = MID(ls_line, 1, li_eqpos - 1)
as_val[li_idx] = MID(ls_line, li_eqpos + 1)
END IF
LOOP
END IF
FOR i = 1 TO li_idx
messagebox('Key - Value',as_key[i] + ' = ' + as_val[i])
NEXT
// CLOSE INI FILE
IF li_fhandle > 0 THEN
FileClose(li_fhandle)
END IF
Adapt it to your needs... you probably should make it a function.

Problems opening pdf-files from KM of portal

Hi,
we store documents in our portal in KM. When I use pdf-files that where not saved with Office2007 tools I get the problem, that I can open the file once. If I open it the second time I get the error message "file doesn't start with "%PDF-". and the file will not be opend. If I delete the temporary files in the internet explorer, the file can be opended, again.
If I open the file directly in the internet explorer I don't have those problems, so it seems, that the portal uses a different viewer than the internet explorer itself.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Ulrike

Ulrike,
I think this is a known issue.
Affected versions:
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 14
o KMC SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (formerly named 2004s) SP 15
If you have the above KMC and SP Versions then you need to follow the below SAP note:
Note 1146711 - Problem opening PDF files.
Have you checked the belowSAP Note?
