Display outcome of "PDF Package" different in V9 Pro to that of V8 Pro

Hi all - Assembling several documents into a PDF package. When a customer opens the package we want them to see a 'cover sheet/page' (not a 'welcome note') and have the other documents - Deed of Agreement, pricing schedule etc, down the left side that they can just click on to open. This works that way in V8 Pro but I can't get the same effect in V9.
In V9 the package opens and files just sit in the grid waiting for you to open one. Why can't I get the same effect as V8? Help greatly appreciated as need to upload this to our agency's Intranet real soon. Help please!

Hi,
You've an awkward situation as Acrobat 8 "Packages" do not exist in Acrobat 9.
With Acrobat 9 we have "Portfolios" which incorporate a Flash interface.
As to the single "package" or "portfolio" PDF, both employ the fundamental foundation of PDFs as attachments to the single "host" PDF.
But, from there, things diverge.
So, an Acrobat 8 "package", viewed with Adobe Reader 9.x or Acrobat 9.x will be treated by these as a "portfolio" (just not as spiffy as a "native" Portfolio created by Acrobat Pro 9 or Pro Extended).
If you know what users would be viewing with (8.x or 9.x) you could provide a "Package" or a "Portfolio" as appropriate.
Or let the user select the appropriate PDF when downloading from a web site.
Of course, when creating a Portfolio, you'd have to build your content anew.
A new Portfolio is like a blank canvas.
To get a feel for bring the canvas to life the AUC Learning Center provides a great deal of information.

Or browse the Acrobat channel at Adobe TV

for Portfolio relate episodes.
Be well...

Add-on toolbar is not displayed for a pdf package

The add-on toolbar have started not to be displayed in Adobe Acrobat for a pdf package since I created a new plug-in. The new plug-in put the coversheet on the front of the package when the pdf package is open.
I was testing and found out that the following method (included in my plug-in code) is making the add-on toolbar hiddenCosDictRemove(cosColl,ASAtomFromString("D"));
This is part of my code:CosDoc cosDoc = PDDocGetCosDoc(pdDoc);
CosObj cosCat = CosDocGetRoot(cosDoc);
CosObj cosColl = CosDictGet(cosCat,ASAtomFromString(
"Collection"));
if(CosObjGetType(cosColl) == CosDict){
if(CosDictKnown(cosColl,ASAtomFromString("D"))){
CosDictRemove(cosColl,ASAtomFromString(
"D"));}
bRtn = TRUE;
I need to enable the add-on toolbar programmatically. I have tried to enable the toolbar using the code shown below but it didn't work. I don't know what else to do. Please could you help me out?.
Thanks,
ACCB1 ASBool MyToolBarComputeVisibleProc (void *clientData)
{ return true
ACCB1 ASBool MyToolButtonEnumProc (AVToolButton button, void * clientData)
if (button != NULL)
AVToolButtonSetComputeVisibleProc(button, MyToolBarComputeVisibleProc, NULL);
return true;
BOOL SetCoverPageDisplay(void *clientData){
AVToolBar objToolbar = AVAppGetToolBarByName("JSAppToolBar");
if (objToolbar != NULL)
AVToolBarEnumButtons(objToolbar, MyToolButtonEnumProc, NULL);
AVToolBarUpdateButtonStates(objToolbar);
return true

Hi,
As I need the add-on toolbar to appear when a package is open, is there any way to make the add-on toolbar visible programmatically?.
Thanks in advance

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
 1. File>Print
 2. <ctrl + P>
 3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
 1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
 2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
 3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32
PageNumbers = Yes
PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled
PrintViewOnly = No
SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0
FontCompression = 1
Hope this is helpful.

Display PDF in different window by reading Binary file in MIME folder.

Hi all,
I've kept binary file in MIME folder and I'm trying to read the contents of it. and I'm trying to display contents in pdf format in separate window.
For this I was able to read the file by using FileInputStream
byte[] bytes = new byte[1000];
 try
 //File file = new File(WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),"data.bin"));
 File file = new File(WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath("test.bin"));
 FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
 long length = file.length();
 //Create the byte array to hold the data
 byte[] bytesA = new byte[(int)length];
 //Read in the bytes
 int offset = 0;
 int numRead = 0;
 while (offset < bytesA.length&& (numRead=is.read(bytesA, offset, bytesA.length-offset)) >= 0)
 offset += numRead;
 is.close();
 bytes = bytesA;
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource(bytes);
 catch(Exception e)
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error Reading File:"+e.getCause(),true);
 wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error Reading File To String:"+e.toString(),true);
I've to show this in external window. I created attribute "pdfResource" of type binary
and declared in the source
private ISimpleType myPdfDoc;
After that I added this bit of code in Init Method
myPdfDoc = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfResource").getModifiableSimpleType();
((IWDModifiableBinaryType)myPdfDoc).setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
((IWDModifiableBinaryType)myPdfDoc).setFileName("PDF");
After this I made an action handler which has following code.
final byte[] documentContent = bytes
final String docUrl = myPdfDoc.format( bytes );
String docUrl = myPdfDoc.format(bytes);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(docURL,"Resource", true);
window.open();
But it is throwing Null Pointer exception for Init Method and also while displaying.
Where is that I'm faltering. Any Pointers will be help ful
Thanks
Srikant

First of all why do you need those three lines of code in your wdDoInit() ?
Simply, you may use this:
IWDCachedWebResource cachedResource = null;
String url = null;
byte[] pdf = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource();
if (pdf != null) {
 cachedResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(pdf, WDWebResourceType.PDF);
 url = cachedResource.getURL();
Refer <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/4a/fb8342a7d30d53e10000000a155106/content.htm">Utilizing the IWDCachedWebResource-API</a> for further assistance.

Possible to enter hyperlinks or other type of interfile links that function within PDF Package?

We deliver our product as a PDF Package. The only apparent benefit is slightly enhanced search function and file navigation and more 'professional' appearance. BUT the huge downside is the loss of hypertext links between files.
Our product comprises 90 modules all functioning seamlessly via a "Cartesian join": every module to every module. In this way, the collection of PDFs emulates a Help product when NOT packaged and when located in a single folder. User can navigate information (interfile) via hypertext links.
Once packaged the hypertext links do not work, and even worse (i think I recall) display as errors in the PDF, so hyperlink field codes must be removed versus left in the file latent, in order to create the Package.
We removed > 5000 hyperlinks in order to package the PDFs. Now I am unsure of the benefit. The loss of dynamic links between files greatly reduces usability as users must follow hard text references to other files, and must locate the target section manually by clicking bookmarks and searching on key words, in the PDF Package. Feels like the dark ages of print.
Can anyone suggest a workaround (any type of link functionality) that enables links that dynamically open target file, when user clicks linked text IN A PDF PACKAGE (where PDFs have been packaged using the Create Package function)?
We would like to restore that functionality to our PDF deliverable while still delivering as a Package.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I read where PDF Package was introduced in Acrobat 8. I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I went from 7 directly to 9 so I've never seen Acrobat 8. It appears to me that PDF Package you refer to has been replaced with PDF Portfolio because I don't have the option when combining files to create a package. Are you using Acrobat version 8?
I create all of my links between PDFs using an Acrobat plug-in called Compose. It has an option that allows for relative links. I've never used Word to link between documents so I don't think I can be of help. I have used InDesign for that purpose and they work for me. I do not combine my PDFs into a "package" or a "portfolio" per se. They remain as separate files just like they were on the system I created them on. I burn them to a CD, folders and all, and use bookmarks and links to navigate between all of them.
I think we are doing two completely different things so I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT sometimes doesn't display the generated PDF file

Hi all,
I'm using the following code to generated my report from Forms: 
V_REPORT_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_NAME);
V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB:= RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_ID,P_LIST);
 V_JOB_ID := substr(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB,length(:GLOBAL.REPORTS_SERVER)+2,length(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB));
 V_REPORT_STATUS := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB);
LOOP
 IF V_REPORT_STATUS = 'FINISHED' THEN
 V_TMP_PDF := :GLOBAL.APACHE_HTML_FOLDER ||'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID ||'.pdf' ;
 COPY_REPORT_OBJECT_OUTPUT(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB, V_TMP_PDF );
 WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(:GLOBAL.AS_HOME_URL || 'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID ||'.pdf' ,'_BLANK');
 END IF;
END LOOP; 
Everything works fine except the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT part. In some clients, this command does what it required from it and opens a new browser window with the PDF report displayed on it. In some other clients, this command does nothing: now window dispalyed. When I refer to the Application Server, I see the PDF report successfully generated there. When I put the URL of the generated report manually in the browser address, I can see the report.
 
Why the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT doesn't display the generated PDF report in some clients?

I agree with the previous 2 posters.
Also firefox and ie handle it differently. Make sure you test on what your clients use.
Sometimes acrotray.exe is completely retarded and doesn't work.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

When using firefox, table lines are displayed in a pdf document when I set them to backround colour not to display borders, can you help?

I am an Web Designer and create PDF files for download from the sites that I develop. I use version 19.0 of Firefox.
Included in these PDF files are tables which display certain data, and I have made some table columns wider with the fill colour the same colour as the table border colour.
Recently table borders have appeared in the filled in areas, which I do not want to happen.
Also the look of the Adobe Reader is different in Firefox. and normal in IE and Opera browser which I also use.
So overall, the the PDF file is not being displayed correctly in Firefox. If I could I would have attached a screen dump of the display error, to help. Can you offer a solution please?

The same problem here, this started with the latest version.
I found a temporal solution which is change the default "previewer" in the Options -> Applications tab
You need to install the Adobe Reader Plugin described [[here|http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files]].

Why won't the author's name display below my PDF's in edit mode?

I use iBooks consistently everyday primarily to view my PDF music files I download... When I use edit mode in iBooks to select my PDF's and reorganize them, the author names disappear... I can not use this update if the app won't display the author's name in edit mode... Please put it back where I can see the author's names in edit mode and I would love to update and give 5 stars...

I am a professional pianist, and PDF music files are sheet music that I scan and turn into a PDF file so I can view them from my ipad...
PDf music files are also sheet music that I score using music notation software on my Mac that I turn into PDF files, so I can use my iPad while I play the piano to view all of my music...
Thanks for the reply and the Apple feedback url...
I will keep trying to send feedback in hopes that my request can be heard, and used to restore the authors' names in edit mode...
Let's say I have 7 different versions of the song "Silent Night" by 7 different authors...
If I use edit mode to categorize those songs into playlists, once the authors' names are removed, I have no way of being able to tell the different versions of the song apart from each other...
I'm unable to select the song titles quickly in order to move them into playlists...

Initial View for PDF Package

I've created a PDF Package. I'd want to make sure that the documents in the package display on the left-hand side of the document pane when someone opens the PDF Package. There doesn't seem to be any option for that under File > Properties > Initial View. How can I make sure that the links to the individual files that make up the Package are showing when someone opens the Package?

Default documents in PDF Portfolios - see my old blog.
Showing the bookmarks panel (by changing the Document Properties) should work for a standalone file, but it won't change what's shown on the previews in a Portfolio.

Order of PDF Package Files

I'm attempting to arrange the files in a PDF Package in a specific order yet no matter what I do in the DDX it they still get sorted alphabetically.
This is a simple example of what I want to do;
When the package is displayed Doc1 shows first then Doc2 rather than the order shown in the DDX.
Does anyone have any idea how to create a non-alphabetic order of Package files.

This works. I added a sorting field to the schema and hide it in the package.

Printing attachments from Outlook PDF package

I'm working on a project for work trying to print the contents of several imported pst Outlook archives. I've created a pdf package from the e-mails using the built-in Adobe toolbar in Outlook. I need to be able to print out the e-mails with attachments (and there may be several attachments per e-mail) in order, but can't figure out how to print the attachments at the same time. I can click on the attachments manually, but doing that with thousands of e-mails is out of the question. Is there a way to print out the e-mails in order with attachments using the pdf package file created from Outlook?
P.S. I've used "Print Tools for Outlook" but have had problems with it not printing e-mails and not printing all the attachments. If anyone can point me to a program that can work, I'd be glad to try it.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
If your Curve is like most BB's, then PDF's are not natively viewble on it. When PDF's come in as an email attachment, they are viewable via the email attachment service. But all other means require a bit of additional software on the device. The To-Go apps that come free with most BB's do not handle PDF's...the $$$ premium edition does handle them. Plus there are other PDF add-ons (BeamReader?) that are cheaper (so I hear) that also handle PDFs.
Basically, since it's a Calendar attachment, the email attachment service is not invoked -- hence it is unviewable without something added.
Hope that heps!

Creating a .pdf with different page views

I'm tyring to create a .pdf with different page views. For example as the viewer goes through the .pdf some pages I would like viewed as "single page view" and others "two page view". Is this possible? I'm working with Adobe Acrobate Pro. Thanks for any suggestions.

It's possible to use the Page Open actions to trigger a view mode change but it's messy - if the user tries to override them because they prefer to zoom in, etc. then they'll get very annoyed when things keep resetting.
To create a Page Open action, open the thumbnails panel, right-click on a page, choose Page Properties, then the Actions tab. You can use the Execute a Menu Item tool to fire one of the view modes.
