Error upon generating PDF from Frame book

I am working on a book in Frame that I have converted MANY times into a PDF. However, today, for some reason, it isn't working. I get the following message:
OffendingCommand: pdfmark; ErrorInfo: StOBJ --nostringval-- ]%%
Does anyone know what this string means? I'd like to know so i can go in and fix whatever is wrong.
I am using Frame 7.0 with Acrobat Pro 8.0 - on OS XP Pro
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks...

I'm assuming that this has worked OK in the past.
Try looking in Word > Help > About > Disabled Items.
Beyond that I'm not sure what to suggest as you have tried a reinstall. RoboPDF did have problems and when it was a Macromedia product they did offer FlashPaper as a free replacement.
Unless someone else or Google come up with something, I think using one of the free PDF programs is probably going to be your easiest option.
Later versions of RH come with a different PDF program.

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

Gray box for logo generating pdf from fm book

Greetings,
I have a large FrameMaker book that I've generated pdfs from a million times. We cleaned up our logo, so I dropped it in and tried to generate the usual pdf. a gray box resulted for the logo only. all other artwork displayed fine. i tried scaling down the logo, changing formats, changing import methods, etc. all failed. however, generating a pdf from the book if I remove a few chapters gives me my logo. Am I running out of resources? I'm using tech comm suite 1.3 on vista. There are no clues in the acrobat log. show large images is turned on in the adobe reader.
I used the obvious workaround: generated two pdfs, one with just the logo page and one with the rest of the book, then combined them. But this process is not practical long term. Any clues?

A couple questions:
What format is the new logo file?
Given that it works with some component files, but not in the book... I'd guess that it may be a resource issue. How much RAM and free space do you have?
And when you "dropped it in," does that mean imported into one file by reference, or copied in, or imported into a template that you used to update all files in the book..... or something else? And if it did update multiple files, did you double-check them to make sure the path to the graphic is correct?

Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
Please advise.

Error7103 wrote:
We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

Error while generating PDF from APEX through BI Publisher

Hi,
I am facing a problem which is intermittent.
I am generating a pdf from APEX which has been developed using BI Publisher.
I have linked the report to the APEX using report queries/report layouts in shared components.
The pdf used to open without any problems previously.But currently,I am getting the following error
*"An error exists on this page.Acrobat may not display the page correctly.Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the document."*
Once the Bi Publisher Services is restarted,I am able to generate the pdf.Again After sometime the same error pops up.
Has anybody faced the above error?
Any solution for the same.
Kindly reply.
Thanks and Regards,
K Tanna

I am able to generate PDF from Framemaker file but not able to generate pdf from book in robohelp

Hi,
Using robo help i am able to generate pdf from a single framemaker file.
but when i am importing whole book then i am not able to make it.
And also it is not showing any error on console
It goes to hang like situation and i have to close it from task maneger.

Ok, silly question - why are you bothering to try and create PDFs from RH when you've got FM? FM to PDF produces great results; RH to PDF involves having to go through Word - i.e. RH - Word - PDF = too much work IMHO.

Error while generating PDF - in Bex Web

Hi Experts,
I am currently having the issue that I receive the error "Error while generating PDF" when using the "Print Version" functionality. This problem only occurrs for the Bex Web Query. I know that the ADS service is configured correctly- The webservice test is successful and other applications (Guided Procedures, MSS) also use it successfully.
Please see below the excerpt from the default trace:

Hi Jan,
Most possible causes for encountering this issue are:
Possible cause:
- The ADS is installed on a plattform, that is currently not supported by SAP for ADS. Please check the avaliablity at: Product Availability Matrix
- Mixing of different Netweaver releases (NW04 and NW04s) -> This is unfortunatelly not possibble the J2EE engine release has to match with the ABAP stack release in order connect them properly.
- The ADS SP level does not match the J2EE engine SP level. -> Please update the software components to have the same support package level.
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Arafat

Application error while generating PDF form

Hello there,
I am getting the message "Application error while generating PDF form" and when you hover it has additional information Message Class HREIC_APPL - Message number 258.
I get this upon doing the following steps:
1. Enter SAP R3, enter HREIC on the transaction code input.
2. Enter EIC, Activity Search. Searched for an Activity, selected it and click the "PRINT" button.
3. After clicking the PRINT button, I get the error message "Application error while generating PDF form".
Installed this on development box, did the same configuration in test system, but still I get this error. ADS Configuration is working fine and configured fine.
Is there anything else that is needed to be checked? like Ports, Firewalls, etc?
Thanks a lot.

Be sure that the RFC name is "ADS" and not anything else.
Thanks.

Custom Purchase Order template causes Error while generating PDF

The standard XSLFO works, my custom one errors:
History of the world:
1) I downloaded the XML Publisher thing for Word, installed it no problems
2) Downloaded the XML data definition for the Standard Purchase Order from XML Publisher Administrator
3) Created a blank word document and created the purchase order layout from scratch using the XML Publisher plug-in
4) Previewed it as a PDF in word - it looked fine (well, it was a start)
5) Exported the XSLFO
6) In XML Publisher created a new template and uploaded the XSLFO
7) Assigned the new template to the document in Purchasing
All good... the new template is defintately the one being used by the PO Output for Communication program. The problem of course is that it throws a useless error message :) - namely:
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - After initializing the FOProcessor
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - After setting the i/o stream and output format
PoPrintingUtil.getBlobPDF(input,input) - Error while generating the PDForacle.apps.xdo.XDOException

I know no one can magically fix this for me (I wish!) but does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I have no conditional formatting or any other more complex functionality, just a really boring PO layout with a logo.
Any suggestions welcome, in the meantime I will keep trawling through Metalink in search of a clue ;)
Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
The first version for which the Template Builder was released is 5.0
Well, I guess I am one of the few who has a backported 4.5 version of the template builder. I did that for testing exactly your case. I just replaced our xdocore.jar file with the 4.5 version and it worked. The core.jar is not easily available. The files are part of the 4.5 patch, but I think it is too much work to get them out.
However, I would strongly recommend to upgrade to a later version of XML Publisher. We made huge improvements, since 4.5 - performance, translation, RTF template capabilities....
I just checked the process of converting an RTF template to FO and uploading it to EBS with 5.6.2 and it still worked. So it seems you can go straight to the latest version.
Hope that helps,
Klaus

An error that "error while generating pdf".

Hi gurus,
when i am trying to generate a pdf from phap_admin (appraisal document ) i am getting an error that "error while generating pdf".
the dump in st22 is
ERROR ANALYSIS:
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_SEND_DYNPRO_NO_RECEIVER', was

therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
During background processing, the system attempted to send a

CAN ANY ONE HELP TO SOLVE THIS???

Hi,
the dump says:
CALL SCREEN 300 STARTING AT lv_start_column lv_start_row.
>>>> ELSE.
This means, the raise of the exception comes from the command before ELSE and this is CALL SCREEN.
CALL SCREEN is only reachable. if w_suppress_dialog is SPACE. It can't be 'X'.
You have to find a way to set it to 'X'.

Generating PDF from MSWord--IsTable of Content Updated?

Hello,
In generating PDF from MSWord document does the Adobe process call a method on the MSWord object to update the TOC field in the Word document during the generation process. Or is it assumed that the table of content in the Word document is always updated. If the table of content field is not current, field error message can appear in the Word document and the page number for
the link can contain inaccurate values.
Thank you,
Jesse

It is assumed the TOC is up to date.

Hi,
I think this is an ADS error. This is a reason why pdf's are not working. We had the same issue.
You can check your installation:
