Date format when getting a PDF document with RESTful changes

Hi all,
I have a simple document with a date concatenation (as a string) for DateFrom - DateTo (for example "1/4/2015 - 30/4/2015")
When I am in WebI I can see it in this format, even if I export it to PDF or Excel.
However when I open it using BO BI 4.1 SDK RESTful in PDF or Excel, the date changes to "American format" like this : "4/1/2015 - 4/30/2015"
Is there a way to avoid this, either as an option/parameter in the RESTful call or in the configuration of the BI server?
Thanks

Hello Enrique,
Are you using the same user in Webi vs REST? I ask because the locale used is the PVL (prefered viewing locale) one.
You can override the locale using a http header : X-SAP-PVL. But, you have to be very careful because you have to set the same header value in subsequent RESTful calls.
Indeed, internally, we handle one document instance for each used locale.
Regards,
Anthony

When editing a PDF document with fillable forms, I get an unhandled exception error when scrolling past the first page

The first error is "An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in Acrobat.exe [4644]"
A debug window comes up after this and I open Visual Studio (not my area of expertise), and a couple more messages come up that may be helpful.
Unhandled exception at 0x625628db in Acrobat.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000044.

Any ideas where to start? This happens with a couple of documents, but not all that are being edited.

I am also getting the same error for fill-able PDFs. Were you able to find an answer/solution for this problem?

CFChart images broken when creating a PDF document with SSL

I have a report that I create with Coldfusion, that includes a number of CFChart objects. I recently installed a new SSL certificate, and now all the charts show up as broken links.   It shows up fine if I try and display this as HTML. On the chance it was something weird about my (lengthly) report, I created the following sample code that I saved in a file called foo.cfm:
<cfset sDir = "C:/">
<cfset filename = "foo123.pdf">
<cfdocument format="pdf" filename="#filename#" overwrite="yes" marginleft=".7" margintop=".3" backgroundvisible="yes">
TEST 12345
<br>
<br>
<div style="height:500px;float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-top:10px; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;">
    <cfchart
        format="png"
        chartwidth="400"
        chartheight="360"
        showborder="no"
        databackgroundcolor="##ffffff"
        fontbold="yes"
        sortxaxis="no"
        yoffset=".1"
        scaleto="100"
        showmarkers="no"
        show3d="no"
        fontsize="11"
          >
    <cfchartseries type="bar" datalabelstyle="none" seriescolor="##00CC99" paintstyle="shade">
    <cfchartdata item="B" value="40">
    <cfchartdata item="A" value="50">
    <cfchartdata item="E" value="80">
    <cfchartdata item="S" value="30">
    </cfchartseries>
    </cfchart>
</div>
</cfdocument>
<cfoutput>
<a href="#filename#" target="_blank">Foo</a>
</cfoutput>
If I go to the URL https://www.mywebsite.com/foo.cfm, the foo.pdf file shows a broken link. If instead I go to http://www.mywebsite.com/foo.cfm the image of the chart shows up just fine.
The weird thing is that I have an older server running CF9.0.0. On this server it works just fine. On another server with 9.0.1, it breaks. Same with 9.0.2, and CF 10.
I read something about needing to install the cert in a keystore, and I did this but it changed nothing. The image is still broken in the pdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have been able to work around the issue by posting the image in a non-secure location, but this seems like a hack, not a proper solution.

Hi Anit, thanks for the feedback. I did try this on a different server, using the instructions here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/import-certificates-certificate-stores-coldfusion.htm l
and then restarted ColdFusion, but it didn't seem to fix the issue. How would I check that the certificate has been correctly imported? Also, how can I define what URL Coldfusion uses to get the images it creates with CFChart?   Though it seems to me this should "just work" by default, if I've followed the steps correctly, and I should have to edit any config files.

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

I can't open any pdf documents with Adobe Reader XI...get an error that "Adobe has stopped working" then it closes. Is this an Adobe issue, Microsoft issue, or security issue?

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

Problem in printing pdf document with java code

Hi All
I want to print a pdf document with java code i have used PDFRenderer.jar to compile my code.
Code:
File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/123/Desktop/1241422767.pdf");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
ByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size());
PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(bb); // Create PDF Print Page
PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
// Create Print Job
PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
pjob.setJobName(f.getName());
Book book = new Book();
book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
pjob.setPageable(book);
// System.out.println(pjob.getPrintService());
// Send print job to default printer
pjob.print();
but when i am running my program i am getting error
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.print.PrinterException: Invalid name of PrintService.
Please anybody, knows the solution for this error?
Thanks In Advance
Indira

It seems that either there is no default printer setup or you have too many printers or no printer setup at all. Try running the following code. It should print the list of available print services.
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.*;
public class PrintServiceNames{
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          PrintService[] printServices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
          int i;
          for (i = 0; i < printServices.length; i++) {
               System.out.println("P: " + printServices);
}From the list pick one of the print service names and set it explicitly like "printerJob.setPrintService(printServices);" and then try running the program.

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel?

How do I maintain column formatting when converting from PDF to Excel? All info is no longer on the lines or in the columns they started out being in? Any help would be appreciated.

Sara,
Perhaps I am expecting too much from Adobe ExportPDF. The reason I subscribed to this service, for which I pay a yearly fee, was that I need a way to convert scanned and digital documents to Word &/or Excel. I read the link you included but to be candid the more I tried to understand what was written the more confused I got. The process should not be this difficult. Currently I am using a NEAT scanner to create PDF documents of whatever I scan. After I changed the OCR setting on Adobe ExportPDF the output was much better but not to the point it was usable as it was. Information that appears to be lines and columns are sometimes not recognizing two columns and just putting them together in one. Obviously not usable. The other thing it does is bunch numbers that appear in a column that are just a bunch of numbers that I have no way of fixing.
Please let me speak to someone who can help me. Right now I not getting anything of value in my paid subscription.

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
Can anyone help?

Hi Edna,
It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X. Choose Edit > Preferences > General. Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply, then OK.
Restart your computer. Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

Sending a PDF document with email from ITS.

Hi all,
I'm working on the following scenario:
I've a sapscript form which is being converted to PDF and then being dispatched to logged in user's email id. All this is happening in a report.
Now, when I call this report from ITS, the email with PDF is not sent.
I'm using following chain to do this task.
1. Call a RFC function (FM1) module from ITS.
2. Call another function module (FM2) from this function module starting a new task.
3. From this second function module, I submit my aforesaid report with this code.
SUBMIT ZV_SCRP_DOWN_PDF
WITH s_vbeln   = contract
WITH p_parvw   = p_parvw
with user      = user
and return.
4. Commit work in first function module(FM1).
The problem is that this chain does not run when I call it from my ITS application whereas the same chain runs smoothly from sap, i.e I call the first function module and the email with pdf is sent to my email id. What am I missing here. Pl. help.
Thanks in advance.
Vishwas.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.
