Export (not schedule) Webi as PDF

Hello,
I found code snippets to export (not schedule) an existing Crystal Report to PDF.
However, I could not find a similar code snippet or documentation for Webi. I would like to export an existing Webi instance (managed) to PDF. I do not want to schedule the Webi because I need to preserve the data contained in that instance. I am trying to mimick the "Save to my Computer as..." functionality of Webi XI R2, but without the need to open/view the report.
Please point me in the proper direction. I have browsed through the Report Engine API but could not relevant information.
Thank you

shows how to view a report in Xls, you can change OutputFormatType to PDF to view a report in Adobe. From Adobe it can be saved to local computer.

Why does my G-4 Mac running Tiger not show web site PDF documents?

When on a web site wishing to link to a given PDF type document offered by that site (ex: a related Sales Sheet), when clicked on a new window opens but it is blank of any data--nor was the PDF otherwise auto-downloaded so as to appear generally on my computer's Desktop. I therefore am experiencing no access to any available PDF offered documents or info otherwise available and, unfortunately, am not savvy enough to rectify the matter myself.

Thank you Kappy and AnaMusic. I went through all the links you supplied, but nothing seems out of the ordinary except that my boot HD keeps filling up by itself.
When I took out the 100+ gb (from my 1 tb boot HD), I watched the Get Info page and as I worked the available space went linearly down from 100+gb to 10.34 gb (right now) in a matter of about 50 minutes, when I quit. I was using mostly Adobe Indesign, but Mail and Safari and maybe Excel were also open.
Something is really wrong. Anymore "use" and it will be full and then I won't have any use of it.
Yesterday when this problem started, available space went down to less than 100 MB and warnings began to show up.
See 3rd image below where the home folder "Norm" is now at 894 GB, but the total of all other folders only adds to about 87 GB.
What could cause that to happen?
Thanks

BO 4.0 Schedule Webi - Class not found Error

Hello,
We are using SDK concerning scheduling Webi-Reports to PDF-format.
Operating System: Linux
Business Objects 4.0 (SBOP BI Platform 4.0 SP02 Patch 6 )
We have developed Java - Program using BO SDK.
We are using ECLIPSE for development.
Regarding SDK Libaries we copied all libs from BO 4.0 - system (Unix Directory <businessobjects_root>/java/libe) to client for ECLIPSE.
Our program should schedule a Webi - Report to PDF format.
Java Coding is compiled without any errors, all required BO-SDK-Libs are included in source-code.
Already previously we were able to schedule a crystal report via Java program.
Unfortunately there are errors concerning scheduling Webi reports.
We published java-program to BO-server.
In properties of java-program we inserted name of class.
After running the java programm this error appears:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/businessobjects/sdk/plugin/desktop/webi/IWebi

Kind regards,

Hello Fritz,
Sorry - I completely neglected the important bit in your exception trace.
What you have is a Java Program Object.
The Program Object is being loaded by the Program Job Server child process, but the classloader is complaining about not finding needed InfoObject classes.
What's at issue is that, unlike for XI 3.x and previous, the default classloader classpath do not have the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK libraries pre-defined. You need to define it when publishing the Program Object.
I don't think what Terry mentions would apply to your situation, since that issue should be caught during compile time with the 4.0 libs.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Scheduled Webi Report in PDF Format gets corrupted

Hi Experts,
When a webi report is scheduled the users that gets PDF format instance is getting corrupted intermittently.
Error:
Any help regarding this issue will be appriciated.
Regards,
Veer

Hi Veer,
What is the BO version and Adobe Reader version?
Is it occuring on all machines or specific machines?
Does same issue exist when the report is saved to PDF and not scheduled?
Do other PDF files (not scheduled from Webi report) work fine?
Are you using supported Adobe Reader version? Are the users using any other PDF tool to open the PDF files?
Have the users installed any plug-in over PDF tool?
Please provide this information in order to narrow down the issue.

Yuvraj

SharePoint 2010: Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow is not sending ANY email

Hello,
I've a SharePoint 2010 Enterprise farm. I setup a Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow in a site collection with different web analytics reports options checked. So far I've not got ANY email. When I went to Site Workflows, I'm seeing that the workflow
is running. When I click on Completed status, I see below outcome in the Workflow History section:
"Email sent but reports with no data were not attached."
And I see below information in the Workflow History list:
"Attached are the daily Web Analytics reports for 1/7/2015 through 1/7/2015 for SharePoint Site Collection
http://server/team/site scheduled by workflow "SharePoint Site Web Analytics Reports". "
I am able to generate the reports manually by going to Site Collection Web Analytics Reports, but I want to schedule them. The problem is I'm not getting ANY email in my inbox. What am I missing here? Are the emails getting filtered by Outlook or workflow
is not sending emails at all?
Please help! This is getting frustrated.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the email is not sent from the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
I recommend to the things below:
1. Check if the Outgoing email has been configured for the web application where you run the Scheduled Web Analytics Reports workflow.
In Central Administration > Application management > Manage web applications > select the corresponding web application > click General Settings in the ribbon and select Outgoing E-mail.
2. Make sure that your account has email address configured.
Thanks,
Victoria

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
Instructions:
1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
Keep the quotation marks ("").
instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

Why does the Adobe Acrobat X Web to PDF converter icon not show up?

I installed Adobe Acrobat X yesterday on this work computer, but the Web to PDF converter icon has not yet shown up. I have the icons, and they are functional, in the Mozilla Firefox on my home computer.

hi WDWPhishFan,
Have you looked at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]?
The first article has a lot of good troubleshooting steps that might help. The second article actual lists a couple of plugins that can be used for opening PDF files. I'd give both of them a try just in case.
Hopefully this helps!

Fonts Not Embedding Consistently with PDF Export - Inconsistent Fix and Unknown Cause

I have had ongoing problems with PDF export from FrameMaker. Sometimes the correct fonts do not embed in the PDF and Times New Roman is substituted. The problem appears and disappears and is causing me a lot of lost time and frustration.
I am running FrameMaker 9.0 fully patched on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have seen people complain about this issue and am familiar with the suggested fixes. However, the exact cause and solution eludes me because the problem continues to recur and I am only able to recover with guesswork and workarounds.
Initially I did the following:
ACROBAT PDF SETTINGS
- In the printer properties for Adobe PDF settings I turned off the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts."
ACROBAT DISTILLER SETTING
Under "Font" Settings I changed the following:
- Under "Settings/Font Locations" I added the font folder for Technical Communication Suite 2.0 and made sure all the fonts existed there and in the Windows default font directory.
- Under "Settings/Edit Adobe PDF Setting/Fonts" I changed the following options:
- Selected "Embed all fonts"
- Under "Embedding" chose "Always Embed" for the target fonts.
I tweaked these settings for hours and got no results. Then I rebooted and the problem had magically disappeared. I fixed the issue in the same way on another machine and the results were permanent and I was just happy to finally have it fixed, But this time it didn't last.
I should note that upon reboot, when I used the stock "PDF Job Options," the correct fonts still embedded, leading me to believe that the fix had nothing to do with the changes I made to Distiller settings.
After reboot I generated PDFs with the correct fonts embedded. Then I shut down FM, but left the system running. The next morning I opened FM again and the same problem occurred.
So I rebooted again -- and the problem disappeared again. I therefore thought maybe the issue fixes on reboot but recurs when you shut down FM and reopen. So I shut down FM again and reopened, but it is still working fine for the moment.
I verified that the Adobe PDF settings under "Printers & Devices" that I turned off (Rely on system fonts only; do not use documents fonts) remained correctly unchecked through all these changes.
I would really like to know why this happens so I can resolve it permanently and avoid more lost time.
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

The common theme I'm seeing here is that the setting edits you make in
Distiller through the FM "Save As PDF" option don't seem to take effect.
Do you know if that is true or could you elaborate on the notorious nature
of this method for me?
>
There are too many potential and transient problems to list. The only thing
I can say is that I've been an active member of the FrameUsers listserv
(http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/listinfo/framers) since FM version 6.0,
circa 2001, and probably 95% of the PDF problems reported there have been
fixed simply by using print to Adobe PDF (or to Acrobat Distiller in older
PDF versions), instead of using Save as PDF. Common advice there has always
been to avoid Save as PDF and even some Adobe employees have recommended
against using it. It doesn't matter which FM version.
The once-busy FrameUsers listserve has been fading away, recently, as this
new Adobe forum software allows reading via e-mail, and attachment of
screenshots. Even if you look around on this forum now, you'll probably
find that there are two main fixes for issues with PDF. One is NOT using
Save as PDF, which seems to fix a whole bunch of issues. The other is the
use of a Windows hotfix to squash a Windows OS bug that causes dropped
characters in PDFs.
In the rare instances that someone has issues with printing to PDF, they are
almost always related to errors in settings. Or occasionally someone can't
embed fonts because they are trying to the embed the virtual fonts that come
with their printer driver instead of fonts that have actually been installed
on their computer. (The fonts are hard-wired on their printer, so the system
can use them but not embed them.)

InDesign CS5 interactive PDF export not functioning

Hey guys, I have been starting to work with some interactive designs within InDesign CS5, mainly animations (menu fly out on mouse over, moving object on page load) . However each time I have exported my work as an interactive PDF, nothing functions, it all appears as static images. I have tried viewing in Acrobat XI, Adobe Reader, Safari.. all with the same result.
I have used the preview function to review that animation is working properly before exporting and every works flawless, it just doesn't export any of this. I have tried editing a new PDF preset and exporting that way. I have tried both "Interactive" and "Interactive for PDF" modes as well, in case that matters. I have had absolutely no luck and hope someone can find something I must have missed? Thanks for the help on this!

Animations are not supported natively in PDF files... Preview shows you just a Flash/SWF preview, not PDF preview.
Only way to use animations in PDF files is to create Flash/SWF file which includes animation(s), place that SWF to InDesign and export Interactive PDF after that.
And it´s just a work-around, not very good one IMO.... I don´t believe you can do animated menus with that technique....

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document() (I normally place this in a Process)
BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

Web based PDF Doc question - not sure how to describe

My manager has asked that I research a way to change a web based pdf file to allow fellow co-workers to either download it has a whole, or just sections of it. I've tried looked into bookmarks and portfolio, but it just doesn't seem to do what he requires.

You should have a Binder for your complete PDF and separate section files individually constructed for each chapter or section
that should be available as a portion of the whole. So, in essence you would create individual PDF's first then collect
them into a single PDF Binder (not a Portfolio)

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

Which version of Acrobat?
What app are you printing from?
Which version of Mac or Windows?
Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?

Export button in Web Viewer not working

Hi,
The export button in Web Viewer is not working at all and giving errors. I am hosting the application in Tomcat Server.
Please provide help.
Thanks and Regards,
Gourav

Hi,
I find out one of the reasons that this could be happening. On clicking the export or the print option that URL is automatically redirected to my http://localhost/.../CrystalReportViewerHandler but this folder does not exists in the folder where I have deployed my application.
The details for accessing this folder is stored in the <my application folder>/WEB-INF/web.xml
The contents of the file is listed below:
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>CrystalReportViewerServlet</servlet-name>
    
    <url-pattern>/crystalreportviewers</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Please let me know how can I resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Gourav

FDF import/export not for every PDF available

Hello,
I am using Adobe Reader X 10.1.2 and I have used it to create corrections on PDFs via comment functionality. To avoid big data amounts I want to use the FDF export/import. This was already possible on several PDF documents, but is not possible on every PDF document. What kind of conditions are necessary to allow the FDF import/export?
Regards
Dieter

Hello,
I only found one functionable, where export is available and there is a menu Extensions available too. I have seen, that this document was created by Acrobat Distiller.
The idea is, if there is one original PDF, where several user have to make corrections, that every user has just to supply his correction-FDF, and in the end we still have the untouched PDF (which can be big) and many FDFs as correction files, which include all the comments.
Regards
Dieter
