Error in generating PDF output

Whenever, I generate a PDF output, RH goes through the process but displays an error message stating that the file_name.pdf is not found. It did the same thing when I tried generating a PDF of a sample project as well. Any pointers on how to resolve this issue?

I am just trying to see where there could be a problem. When you generate a PDF from RoboHelp a temporary Word file is automatically created in the background from which the PDF is created. What I was trying to get you to check was whether the problem is with the PDF creation or somewhere else. If you go through the same process to create a PDF but deselect the PDF creation option BUT select the Word creation option, a Word file will be created. If that works, it will have exactly the same fonts, styles as the PDF would if you can create it.
I am also a bit unsure what you mean. It sounds like you are generating a Word file, then changing the fonts and styles in Word. Why not just make sure that your fonts, styles in RoboHelp are correct and then just map these to your Word template when creating the Word file. Peter Grainge has some excellent tips on this on his site. It is well worth a read.

Problem to get PDF output from Jetform Central on HP-UX

I was running Jetform Central on HP-UX box with a compiled form with PDF being the default driver.
I had no problem to fill data on the form and print to a HP Laserjet printer through the LJ5SI driver. But when using the PDF driver to print the same form I could not get the output created. I got error of "Invalid Printer Type (98)" message.
I had the PDF driver selected and set as default in the compiled form.
I also had the "-aspPDF" and the "-zMy_Output.pdf" options set as the command-line parameters of the "jfmerge" command.
Why did it complain about the print driver being invalid ??
What's missing here ??
Why couldn't this work ??
Please help
Thanks
Andy Liang

My company originally attempted to install Central 5.7 back in May of 2009, and had the same problem. We went back to the previous version because we didn't need any of the new features, and our paid 3rd party support was unable or unwilling to help us. More recently we found the need for the new features in 5.7 and came across the following:

We installed the patch and it worked.

Hi Aliaksandr,
Thank you for the link.
The ADSUSER was not created in the system. This is now created. A password is assigned to it and that password would be entered also in Visual Admin.
I hope this would solve the problem.
Are there any other other users, that are needed apart from this? or any additional steps?
Regards,

Error in getting xml output from Apps

I have developer 10g. Whatever report (rdf) I create I face exactly the same problem. I register the report (rdf) in Apps and select xml format as the output. But when I run it to get the xml file, I get the following error
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'http://XXXX.XXXX.XXX.XXX:8000/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?temp_id=3547...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="&Encoding"?>
---------------------------------------^If I use Reports 6i to create exactly the same report (rdf) everything works fine (i.e I get the xml file when I run it).
What is the issue with 10g?

If you have & or any other special characters like < ,>
& lt;      <      less than
& gt;      >      greater than
& amp;      &      ampersand
& apos;      '      apostrophe
& quot;      "      quotation mark
these , have to replaced by the equivalent in the sql queries. to get like & lt; , & gt; ,
because these are pre-defined in XML , so the xml will error out , if you any of these characters in the xml element value.

Cannot get PDF output

Hi,
I have two questions, first I need to convert my files to PDF
format. I opened the Printed documentation properties but the PDF
button is inactive.
the other problem is when I generate my project to Printed
Documentation (word) the text format become different e.g. some
text become bold, and some become underlined

1] Did you install the PDF writer that comes with RH? Go to
Control Panel | Printers and see what PDF writers are listed.
2] Is the text that changes random or does it relate to
dropdown or expanding text, for example? In the last page of the
wizard, what option are you selecting? (Use CSS styles, Use Style
Mapping, or Use Word template)

Is there a pdf output file size limitation?

Hi,
I have an rtf invoice template that worked fine in test environments. Now that it has been migrated to Production, it works except for this one invoice that has created a meta data XML file that is 2 MB, which is not that large, is it? Additionally, I cannot open the metadata file in html, it just hangs, but can in a text editor, so I have been chopping up the file into smaller pieces and can get pdf output of around 175 pages worth.
I've tried it with different sets of data from this file, and they work, just not the whole file. Is there some setting required for this to work?

Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?

How to create a PDF output

When I select my ADOBE PDF printer from my printer list and print to file I don't get a PDF file. I get a PRN file. When I try to open it with ADOBE I get a "syntax error". But there's no information about what the error is.
Is there anyway to get PDF output from Crystal?
Thanks

Instead of "printing" to PDF, you should try "exporting" to PDF. Export is both an option on the File menu and a button on the main toolbar. If the PDF export format was installed when you installed Crystal, you will be able to select it from the drop-down list of output formats on in the Export window.

Regression testing on PDF output files from Reports?

My current client is looking to do more automated regression testing of the output (content) of their reports, most of which are output from Reports6i into Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. Is anyone currently using or aware of a tool (QARun, WinRunner, etc.) that will do this? (Most of the tools can do a binary comparison of the PDF files that were output, but we need something that will look into the PDF files themselves and tell us where any differences are found in the actual content (text) of the report itself.)
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

Dear Nick,
Just ensure a printer is configured. This can be done by typing in echo $PRINTER at the $Prompt.
If it returns null then configurea printer and i fell this should resolve your problem,
Since it did resolve my problem.

The report is defined as character type, and is a simple listing of approximately 50 records from a database table. There are no graphics or any pl/sql defined in the report.
Has anyone had similar problems in trying to do this?

How to set the margins for the pdf output in BI Publisher

Hi There,
When we view a report in PDF format in BI Publisher, we get pdf output in an iframe.
There are two scroll bars on the right side. When we scroll down the outer scrollbar to the bottom, there is a white space between the bottom border of the pdf report and bottom portion of the window.
We are calling BI report from apex by passing the url of the report. In this case the white space at the bottom is quite evident and seems that lot of space is being wasted.
Can somebody help me, how to remove or minimize this white space.
Thanks
Krishna
Edited by: Yogi on Aug 30, 2010 5:41 PM

Hello,
open your report for editing, so you see the page with your layouts. Then click on the Link "Show as List" on the upper right. In the List of the output formats select "FO Formatted XML". This enables FO Export.
Then execute your report, click on the small menu item at the upper right. The Menu opens, select Export -> FO.
Hope that helps.

Blank PDF output

Hi,
I'm having much difficulty in getting PDF output to display. Using 9iAS release 2. We call web.show_document from an Oracle form, passing in the URL of the reports server with report name and some other parameters. The "_blank" window shows the report parameter form (HTML) just fine, but when the report is submitted, the page is just blank.
The funny thing is, that if I take the URL from the browser window, copy it, open another browser window, paste in the URL, and run the report, the PDF shows just fine.
Anyone run into this before?
Thanks much,

Are you using a parameter form ?
Using a parameter form is not straight forward when using Reports with Forms. Please refer the forms reports integration white paper to see the detailed steps to do
that.

How to get the output of a standard report RFBILA00 in PDF form.

hi,
I have to get the output of the standard report RFBILA00 in the PDF form.
Thanks.

Hi Rao,
you can run your report RFBILA00 in background and in background job you can add one more step, next in that step you can add custom report like zsubmit .
job should be set like
step1: RFBILA00 with variant.
Step2: zsubmit report with variant.
In Zsubmit report you can read, your first step spool using FM GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
and pass that spool in the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when second report run in job you can set your target like download in the server or send email etc.
