Generate a landscape PDF of my Robohelp 7 project

Ideally I would like to designate some pages as landscape and have the rest be portrait. I can print to PDF individual topics in landscape, but have tried many settings and when I generate the whole project in PDF, it is always portrait.

Your only option is to generate a Word document instead and make changes there. I haven't heard of any HAT that would allow you to generate mixed pages in the print output.

Hi ,
Is the ADS configured in your landscape ?
If so please check that the password of ADSUSER expired or not in visual admin.
I guess there is an option to check password never expires .
Please check the below links for some common issues.

How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
Is there any way around this?

Hello again
Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
Cheers... Rick

Hi! My name is Heitor.
I have Adobe Forms Central and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my machine.
I would like to know if its possible to make a pdf report.
Example: Clicking in a button "print" on my already open and filled pdf form, and gathering all my 30 itens (see that i am only showing 5 itens on my form. but on my form exists a "Add" button to add itens on variables) on a dropdown list and generating a new pdf report with all these itens listed.
Thanks!

Report: generate to file pdf format

Hi folks,
I have made a report which displays all data on preview and on printer. But when I use generate to file PDF option it misses data from columns at right hand side. The report has more than 15 columns and uses smaller font size.
Kindly somebody help me in this regards.
Tahir Abbas

Do the column headings display ok but the data does not?
If so it may be related to the font size. i.e. the whole report may not fit on the page when scaled for pdf output.

Printing landscape pdf to Linux CUPS shared printer

I'm having a problem printing landscape pdf documents from Preview to printers on my Linux CUPS server. Documents print portrait style, with the right side of the document cut off. This occurs in both 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
Using Adobe Reader or printing the pdf from the command line using lpr work correctly to the shared printer.
Printing directly to the printer (not through the server) is the only way Preview prints it right.
My CUPS server is:
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
CUPS 1.3.7

I'm having the same problem. I have a Lexmark x9350 that is shared through Airport Extreme.

Looking for a way to create/edit a newsletter online, then be able to generate a customized PDF file

I am looking for a way to be able to customize a newsletter online, then be able to export/generate a PDF file from that newsletter.
Basically this is for a friend that is a real estate agent, and currently she is creating the newsletters in MS Publisher. I'm hoping to find a way to be able to allow her to login to a secure area of her webpage(that part isn't a problem) but then be able to create/customize a monthly newsletter that needs to be customizable.
For example, the August Newsletter will be 2-sided, and most of the newsletter will be the same, but she needs to be able to have a newsletter for different apartment buildings so the customers can just go to their building link/area on the webpage and be able to download that month's custom PDF file that has a portion of the main newsletter that is a table/list of properties for that specific location. The data will be stored in a database.
After writing the above, I can probably create a front-end to the database so she can enter everything that way, but I still need a way for her to generate the customized PDFs after she is done with that month's data.
I was hoping Adobe had something that could be used, or am I stuck using php or Javascript and just doing this with custom scripting?
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
John

I think you will have to do the latter. While you are thinking about writing the PDF file, don't overlook fpdf (google it)....

HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
Code example:
import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
// suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");

In office word bi publisher plugin, load the xml, the chart can be generated.
The above exception only occurs in some linux and solaris platforms, but never occurs in windows.
The following plateform throws exception.
Oracle Linux Server release 5.6 + java version "1.6.0_25"
The following plateform doesn't throw exception.
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage) + java version "1.6.0_05"
The strange thing is in those platforms which can throw exception, if the code is not running in EJB, the chart still can be generated.
In other words, if the normal web or standalone app invokes that program; the chart can be generated.
The java code is as below.
     public static void generate(String inputXML, String pdfTempPath, String outputPDF) {
          Reader reader = null;
          try {
               File xmlFile = new File(inputXML);
     reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(xmlFile), "UTF-8"));
          ByteArrayOutputStream tmpXSL = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(pdfTempPath);
               rtfProcessor.setOutput(tmpXSL);
               rtfProcessor.process();
          ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(tmpXSL.toByteArray());
          FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
          processor.setData(reader);
          processor.setTemplate(in);
          processor.setOutput(outputPDF);
          processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
          processor.generate();
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               try {
                    if(reader!=null) {
                         reader.close();
               } catch (Exception e) {
Can anyone explain why this exception is thrown?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Tux Dueñas,
I think you need to have ACL's setup in Oracle 11g in order to be able to connect to the BI Publisher server. Check the following link on how to setup ACL's in 11g...

Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

Good day everyone,
I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
Background (for clarity's sake):
Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
System and software using:
Windows XP and 7 Professional
Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
Adobe Acrobat X Pro
I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
Thank you for helping!

Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
Or how about recommending a program which does that??
Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
Thanks!
