DIAdem PDF Export Filled area

Hello,
I'm using DIAdem 2011 SP1.
I have a diagram with a curve as "Filled area".
The curve parameters for the filled area are:
Line color: blue
Filling color: blue
Transparency: 90%
The transparency is needed, otherwise the grid is hidden by the filled area in the diagram.
DIAdem shows the report correctly, but in the exported PDF the area is blue without any transparency.
(The area was filled black in the PDF if DIAdem 2010 is used.)
(The report is printed correctly directly from DIAdem.)
Can someone help at this topic?

I have a script to build a collection of curves in REPORT. The script creates 3 lines per test (GROUP). They are an upper boundary, a lower boundary, and then a filled area between. The upper and lower boundary curves are of CURVE TYPE = LINE. The filled line is of CURVE TYPE = FILLED AREA. It works perfectly in creating these in REPORT. However, when I try to EXPORT, DiaDEM crashes. "Incorrect instructin or user command ....... Cannot open clipboard.).
I have read that there is an issue with exporting FILLED AREA from DiaDEM. I really need this to be availabe in some manner, so I wanted to know the status and/or other options for doing this.
I am using version 2010.

DIADEM PDF EXPORT-Not Showing Multiple Pages

Hello All,
I have a problem while exporting the DIADEM report table to PDF. The Size of the table is above 4000. When I export these data to PDF it will just export the selected current page datas not all. But I would like to see the entire table in PDF or HTML report not just the current page table
How can I do that?..
Thanks in advance for your help...
Thanks
Rigil

Hi Rigil,
We can do this, but it's going to require an "Automatically Increasing" table as well as a script to loop through all the virtual "pages" of the table (that you don't see in REPORT) and append each sheet to an existing PDF. PDF appending doesn't work in all versions of DIAdem (it's fairly new)-- which version of DIAdem are you using? It would be best if you would post your data set and REPORT template (*.TDR) file or email them to me at [email protected] That way I could send you back a VBScript that you could use immediately without having to adapt it to your situation.

PDF Export Hangs

I'm exporting a report using PDF export in Diadem 11.2.0f4178 and it just hangs with no error message. I'm running windows 7 64 bit. I also have Diadem 11.3.0f4563 installed and it does the same thing.
I can print to adobe pdf, but when i generates the report its doesnt not copy the page names (which on 100 page report is a bit of a problem). A solution to either would resolve this.
Anyone have the same problem or know of a fix?

I found a solution from another thread that worked for me:

Is Outside In's PDF Export library's function EXOpenExport thread-safe?

I'm writing a C++ wrapper, for Node.js, around the Outside In PDF Export library, on Ubuntu Linux. Node.js has a single threaded event loop and therefor any long-running processing is done on a worker thread. So, my wrapper is calling all of the PDF Export methods inside of this worker thread. I mention this so that you can be sure of two things: this is a threaded environment, and all PDF Export functions are being called on the same worker thread. Also, I am not making use of any redirected IO or PDF Export-handled threading. I've initialized the library specifying to use no threads. So all of this processing should be occuring within the thread that I call the functions on.
Everything seems to go fine when exporting a single PDF or even maybe two or three in quick succession. When I up the number of PDFs that I try to export to 5+, I receive a SIGSEGV segementation fault from within the OIT libs. The back trace is below:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'll explain the back trace a little. The function on #11 is the function inside my code. That is the function in which I call all of the OIT lib functions. The functions on lines #12 and higher are the Node.js-related threading functions, setting up the thread to run my code's function. Functions on lines #10 down to #1 are all the OIT-called functions.
In the documentation for PDF Export, it says that if you're going to be using this library inside a threaded environment, then you need to call the init and deinit functions each time within the worker thread. I'm doing this in my code, which you can see here: https://github.com/ryancole/topdf/blob/master/src/topdf.cc#L29-L74
Is there anything else that I need to be setting that would cause this? I'm only specifying the font directory, explicitly. Are these libraries actually thread-safe? It doesn't look like they are.

Well, upon receiving a second opinion on the meaning of the phrasing in the documentation, I have got the library working in a threaded environment now. The first parameter to DEInitEx was supposed to specify to enable PTHREAD support, which I did not have. I thought that it meant something other than it actually does.

CS3: PDF-Export Transparency Issue when Image-Links are missing

I have a Layout with a transparent Frame on the top most Layer. For this Workflow-Step I do not have access to the original Image-Links, so I guess that all I see are the embedded Preview-Pictures and InDesign reports that all Object-Links are missing.
If I export this Layout as JPG, the resulting JPG looks like the WYSIWYG in InDesign, which is suitable for this workflow-step. However when I export as pdf, the Frame is not transparent anymore. Instead it is filled with white color and covers the rest of the Layout. In Adobe Reader I can actually select the wrongly covered Picture at the border of the frame and copy&paste it somewhere and it looks fine.
When I provide the original Frame-Picture and repair the missing Link in InDesign, PDF-Export works fine.
I have installed & updated InDesign on a new Mac OS X 10.4.11, so all settings should be default.
Transparency Blend Space is set to CMYK. I tried all default PDF-Export Profiles and tried a lot of different settings in the pdf-export dialogue including different PDF-File-Versions, Simulate Overprint on/off, Color-Conversion disabled, disabling Picture-Compression and much more. I also tried to Print a PS-File and then use the Distiller: same result.
I use Adobe InDesign CS3 V 5.0.2 and tried Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to display.
Any Ideas?

Transparency flattening REQUIRES having access to the high-resolution images to get good results. One of the slogans I teach printers is "Fatten before you flatten." Meaning, replace the low-res images with high-res images.

PDF Export option greyed out in DIAdem 11.1 with Win7 64-bit

In DIAdem Report tab, the "PDF Export..." (Under menuitem "File") option is visible but greyed out.

Hello NI_LV_82_User,
The DIAdem PDF output is not compatible with Windows 7 (DIAdem 11.1 was released in July 2009, Windows 7 was made available in October 2009). The DIAdem R&D department is currently working on a fix to add this functionality under Windows 7. We are working to provide a solution as soon as possible and will make the release of the Service Pack known here on the forum as soon as it is available.

Bleed area not showing in a PDF exported from InDesign

Hi,
I created a document in InDesign with a border that goes to the edge. To make sure that the border doesn't get cut off in printing, I added a bleed and brought the border to the bleed to insure against that happening. However, when I export the file to a PDF, it doesn't show the bleed, even if I ask to include crop marks or bleed marks. Is there anyway to make sure the bleed shows in the PDF?
Thanks!

please check if the setting in the printer are correct and if the mark and bleed are included when exporting the PDF .
Also what is the PDF option that you are choosing and steps to recreate the issue or a screen shot please .
what PDF printer driver are you using ?

I Paid for PDF Export and the files are not converting correctly

I purchased PDF Export to take a PDF file and convert it to a text file so I could import it into excel, when doing so I get a bunch of extra symbles plus the numbers that i'm trying to convert are not complete.

Could you try disabling the 'Recognize text' function and convert the file again?
Let us know how it goes!

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

PDF export format options are ignored when exporting

I can't get the PDF export format options to work. No exception is thrown; it's as though the export format options are simply ignored. In broad terms, the relevant code looks like this:
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions pdfExportOptions = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
pdfExportOptions.setCreateBookmarksFromGroupTree(true);
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(pdfExportOptions);
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream =
(ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(exportOptions);
Other options (setting start and end pages for export) are also ignored.
Curiously, I am able to apply export format options just fine for other formats; e.g. when setting the export format type to ReportExportFormat.characterSeparatedValues and using a CharacterSeparatedValuesExportFormatOptions object as appropriate, I am able to set options like delimiter and separator just fine.
How can I prevent the PDF export format options from being ignored?

hi
Are you using RAS or Crystal Report runtime? and what's the version? It might be a bug. Have you tried:
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream =
(ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
and does it work?

Generate a PDF export and getting the file or the bytestream to modify it

Hi everybody
I have a web dynpro application and want to get the bytestream or the PDF file itself.
Is there a function (RFC, J2EE-Method, ABAP methode/class) where I can say
"Hey function, generate a PDF export of a BI report and save the PDF file <br>somewhere in the KM or return the bytestream of the PDF"
I must be able to define following parameters
-BI template name
-values for the selection mask (the same as the BEx BI-Commands to prefill a field in the selection mask)
-KM path + filename (if the function saves the file in the KM)
What I already tried:
Broadcast to KM
I can start the broadcast automatically using the report RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER. But the problem is that I can't generate a broadcast setting and so I'm not able to define the filename and selectionmask data dynamically.
Package RSRD
When you enter the transaction SE80 and look for the package "RSRD" there are a lot of interesting classes and methods. But I couldn't figure out how to call them to generate a PDF export of a BI report.
FM RSADOB_PDFREPORT_GENERATE
This function module have all the parameters I wish. The problem is that it does not work anymore. It's just an internal test for the SAP guys themselves.
So ...
Have anybody an idea how to solve this?
How to generate a PDF export of a BI report and fill the selection mask and get the PDF (as bytecode or file in the KM) ?
Thanks lot
Klaudio

hi,
Like you said.. steps are simple and clearly mentioned in guide.
1. create a variable of type string
2. after configuring the file adapter , go to corresponding receive activity , go to properties tab
3. search for a property with name as jca.file.FileName . This basically keeps track of file name
4. for this property, give the value as name of variable created in step 1 above
5. Use this variable anywhere in assign / transform
