Generate PDF from App. Srv. Produces Larger File than from Reports Builder

Good Day,
I have a the below issue , and need your help please.
When generating a PDF report from the application server, the PDF size is large (200 MB) while
same report is generated from the builder with smaller size 10MB.
- Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3
- The report contain only TEXT no Image , and contain arround 4000 pages ...
The steps done from Application server in command line :
- First I tested with several values for the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT : file size stays the same or increases.
- Second I tested with parameter PDFCOMP (for PDF compression) with varying values from 0 to 9 : file size stays the same.
Kindly help ...

From report builder :
I open only the .rdf and generate the output to a PDF file.
The number of page is from the PDf generated from Report builder , for the other one I Cant open it with PDF reader...
Thx.

Generating PDF from report - migrating from 6i to 10g

hi ,
i ran my existing report which is developed in oracle 6i in 10g report builder .
i got the output perfectly.
But when i say Generate to file PDF ,I Am getting below error msg .
REP-0069 :Internal error
REP-57054:In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
REP-214718514:Unable to retreive a string from the Report Builder message file.
REP-2147418514
can anyone tell me what should i do to overcome this ..
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
How do you execute your Reports ?
Do you execute it from the Builder ?
If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
(If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

Issues in generating xml from Report Builder as per XSD provided

Hi,
We are provided with XSD's for each report. Now we need to generate XML's from report that are as per the XSD's provided to us.
But the problem come's when we have to define hirearchies.
Like for example
1. Our Report is based on the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT '' as DUMMY
,               fil.file_number
,      TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (RTRIM (LTRIM (fil.processing_date)), 'YYDDD'),'DD-MM-YY') Processing_Dt
, rp_bsu.service_user_number
, rp_bsu.service_user_name
,     rp_ac.account_number
, rp_ac.account_name
,     rp_ac.account_type
,     rp_ac.sortcode
, NVL(ovr_lmt.account_section_value,0) AS
account_section_value
,     NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) AS overlimit_amount1
, (NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) - NVL(ovr_lmt.account_section_value,0)
) value_to_date
, (NVL(ovr_lmt.overlimit_amount,0) -
NVL(lmt_usg.limit_amount,0)
) amount_overlimit
, ovr_lmt.over_limit_id, NVL(lmt_usg.limit_amount,0) AS
limit_amount
, lmt_usg.period_type,lmt_usg.currency
FROM v_rp_bacs3day_service_user rp_bsu,
v_rp_bacs_service_office rp_bso,
v_rp_account rp_ac,
t_file fil,
t_over_limit ovr_lmt,
t_limit_usage lmt_usg
WHERE rp_bso.handling_bank_code = :p_scheme_member
AND rp_bsu.sponsoring_bank_code = rp_bso.owning_bank_code
AND rp_ac.service_user_number = rp_bsu.service_user_number
AND rp_bsu.service_user_number = fil.originator
AND fil.status <> 'R'
AND fil.processing_date = (SELECT cycle_date
FROM t_cycle
WHERE status = 1)
AND lmt_usg.account_id = rp_ac.account_id
AND ovr_lmt.limit_usage_id = lmt_usg.limit_usage_id
AND TO_CHAR (ovr_lmt.exceeded_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY') =
(SELECT TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (RTRIM (LTRIM (cycle_date)),
'YYDDD'),'DD-MM-YYYY')
FROM t_cycle
WHERE status = 1)
2.The hierarchy as per xsd that we need to define is :
<ServiceUserAccount>
<ServiceUser>
     <Name></Name>
<Number></Number>
</ServiceUser> <SortCode></SortCode>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber>
<NearOrOverLimitDetail>
<AccountType></AccountType>
<ProcessingDate></ProcessingDate>
..(there is a list of elements below it)
</NearOrOverLimitDetail>
</ServiceUserAccount>
In the xsd for the complex element type ServiceUser we need to display Service User Name and Number. For this I created a separate query Q2 in reports and joined it using data link with the parent Q1(which has data grouped on processing date) . So that it can be displayed as a separate element parallel to other elements like Sort code ,Account Numbers. But when we generate XML for this, then tags for Q2 query donot appear in xml.
And we get this hierarchy with missing Service User element
<ServiceUserAccount>
<SortCode></SortCode>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber>
<NearOrOverLimitDetail>
<AccountType></AccountType>
<ProcessingDate></ProcessingDate>
..(there is a list of elements below it)
</NearOrOverLimitDetail>
</ServiceUserAccount>
Please let me know if you have any solution to implement this ASAP as its very urgent.

REP-0499 when generating PDF from report

Hi,
I have a simple query in data model where I'm selecting Oracle database object :
select a.shape from table a;
shape is shapedefinition type that is composed of :
Axis varchar2(1),
x number(2),
y number(2),
z number(2)
when I generate report it works fine but when I try to generate to PDF file I get this error : REP-0499: Column 'Axis' selected by the query is incompatible with report definition
But when I run similar report but database object is composed entirely of number types I don't have this prob.
As far as I can tell, nothing has been changed in Database and it seems like this error only happens when I try to select from database object that contains varchar2 type.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Keeyang

Davey, please send me an InDesign Server document that I could use to reproduce this problem. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thank you. --DougR

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.

Generating PDF from Microsoft Word with C#

Hello,
We have created web-based system for a customer that stores/handles Microsoft word documents and provides these to users as PDF versions. Unfortunately some problems appear with our third-party component that generates PDF from Word. Our customer has previously used Adobe Acrobat X Pro to manually generate the PDF files and is confident that the output produced this way is valid. Despite searching and reading a lot I can't find any way to determine if (and how) it is possible to automate the process of generating a PDF file from a Microsoft word file using the Adobe engine. There is a lot of SDK documentation, how to control PDF rendering in winforms applications etc. etc. All I want to do is to load an Adobe Acrobat instance, feed it with a word document and save it as a PDF on disk. From a C# app (ASP.NET). Is that possible?
Best regards
Jan Hansen

As mentioned, you can probably send the DOC file to the Adobe PDF printer to create the file. What I keep reading in your post is a legal issue. You keep mentioning being able to create the PDF on a server automatically. The server use of Acrobat is a violation of the EULA. If you are creting the files off-line for posting as has been done, there should not be a problem. However, having these created in an automated manner by the user may be an issue. Before you go much further, I would check with legal counsel about the use of Acrobat in the way you intend. If they indicate there is a problem, then your question is not needed.
Back to the issue. Try just dropping a DOC file on the Adobe PDF printer icon (you may have to open the Start>Printers to do that. See if that creates the PDF. If so, you will just need to automate that process.

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?

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]

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

How to generate PDF from template via REST query

Hello. I'm newbie in Adobe LiveCycle, will appreciate any help.
What we need: generate PDF from template, using different data.
What we have: LiveCycle Designer and server with deployed Adobe LiveCycle ES 2.5 image.
Looks like server works and listen 8080.
In Livecycle Designer I can generate XML (XDP) from PDF, so I can change this XML in PHP/Python/Go script to fill template with data.
I'm looking for some REST method, where I can give that XML (XDP) and recieve generated PDF in response.
I've spent whole to for googling all these things, found a lot of docs, but all is very complicated there. Also, examples from just doesn't work - maybe I have to do something on server before calling REST API method.
Please, push me into right direction

Your best bet is to probably create an orchestration (or "process" in Adobe speak) that accepts two document parameters, calls LiveCycle Forms (or Output depending on whether you want to interactive or non-interactive PDF), and returns the resulting document variable.
The orchestration will return a redirect that will point you to the document object.
See Invoking LiveCycle using REST Requests, and Creating Your First LiveCycle ES4 Application.

Generate PDF From Database

Hi,
I have a table in database. Table has a column. There is data of pathes of images into column. I cretaed a illustrator template and I want to generate PDF from this template with using table data in database. so, is it possible? illustrator created pdf per each image with using illustrator template.
thanks,

AI cannot conent directly to databases. It can only parse CSV/ XML data. You either need to export the stuff or create extensive scripts to connect to the life database using sockets.

Correct pdf from report 9i

Wanted know as it is correct to get pdf from reports 9i. I necessary to get the report with Cyrillic symbol. Use section [ PDF:Embed ] beside me was not got. I have taken Type1 font from resource Acrobat reader 5.0, made sure by means of program fontview.exe from supply Windows that this font contains Cyrillic symbols, has described his use: "Courier New" = "COM_____.pfm COM_____.pfb". As a result pdf file was got with embedded font, but Cyrillic symbols are don't care displayed not correct. When use [ PDF:Subset ] is got correct displayed pdf, but with use font Type3 that on my not quite well.
Thanks.

Hi,
Using PDF embeding with Type1 fonts will not give you the symbol as the Type1 fonts have characters only upto 256. The way to get the Cyrillic symbols properly is to use PDF subsetting. You need to use either UTF8 or any Cyrillic charcater set and use True Type fonts. Add proper entried to uifont.ali for subsetting. An example would be to add, "courier = courier.ttf". The ttf files location should be included in Reports path. Internaly when doing PDf subsetting, these are converted to Type3 fonts so you will always get that. It works properly with Acrobat reader 5.0 for displaying and printing purpose.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Rohit

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.
