Generate PDF in a sandboxed plugin
Hi,
I am really struggling with a plugin that i need to generate a PDF stream in. I have tried several third party libraries but they are either too big for a plugin or they are apparently using things on the server that is prohibited i CRM online.
Does anyone have an idea of how i can achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Toby
Thanks for the response.
I have a note attachment like a word file that i can parse to a stream inside my plugin and i want to write it back to the note attachment as a pdf. I know i could use some webservice for this but it needs to be handled in the O365 context.
I know plenty of ways to do this but i keep hitting the isolation mode wall.

Hi,
I am using CRM ONLINE 2013.
How to automate below process?
1. On Approval Of Quotation, Run Report.
2. Generate PDF.
3. Send an Email With PDF as attachment.
As i have gone through many forums for this topic, but creating a plugin code for generating Report PDF is not possible in CRM ONLINE.
So, What is the alternate way to do this..?
Thanks.This is my entire code mentioned below:-

How to generate PDF report in Sharepoint Office 365
Hi,
We are building a custom webpart using sandbox solution and would like to generate report in PDF. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks in advance ;
Cheers, IXI solutionYou can use SSRS reports which can be saved in any format. Refer to the following post for more information

PDF Output: Why is "PDF Review" styled different than "Generate PDF"?
I am new to RH. I have imported a folder of HTML files (used in an Eclipse Help plugin) into RH9 for HTML as a project. My goal is to produce a PDF document.
When I generate a PDF from Printed Documentation in the Single Source Layouts pad, many styles are incorrect. I've tried generating to Word and from there to PDF with the same effect.
However, when I use Create PDF for Review from Project Manager the styles shown in the PDF (fonts, alignment, etc) are nearly perfect! Is the PDF Review option using a different CSS?
I have tried exploring the CSS specified in the Generate PDF flow, but I am unable to make changes, perhaps due to my massive state of confusion. So I'm losing hope that I could manually tweak to CSS that I think I use in the Generate PDF flow to appear like the "PDF Review" flow. I specified the same CSS used in the Eclipse Help system, but evidently there must be some defaults built into the Eclipse viewer that are not specified in the CSS we use.
Thanks in advance,
Charly in SJHere's what I think is happening. You say PDF review is good but printed documentation gives wrong styles. You also say you assume PDF review uses the Stylesheet (CSS) for each topic, yes it does. Now if that is giving the correct styles it tells you that is what you need when you generate printed documentation.
When you use a Word template you will get very different styles unless you have set up the template to mirror your CSS. Using the Map to CSS option you have two choices, you can select None when each topic will be printed according to the CSS attached to the topic or you can select one of the CSS files available in the project.
I suspect that if you select the None option, you will get the same as you are seeing in the PDF review.
If your document is not going to be worked on by anyone, such as a training department using it as a based document, then the CSS options are fine. If others will be working on it, then the Word template option is better as lists will be true lists and headings will be true heading styles.
See Printed Documentation on my site.

Generating pdf from the website
Hi there,
Match with smaller problem. I have a website where I want to put the icon to create a pdf from the site. These are website www.mapase.com. I do not use any open source as wodpress therefore I can not use plugins. I've got all code and implement myself. Or find a library.
Description of the problem:
If I insert some of the libraries found on the Internet at Home page, can generate PDF. If I will however try to generate a PDF from this example: http://www.mapase.com/kuala-belait-1820871, the resulting PDF is terrible.
Can you recommend any library for testing?Can anyone please help, the websites hosted with us are developed on adobe CQ5.4 content management tool and when they are exported to PDF some of the images / texts doesn't get generated in the PDF. Also, the css /theme doesn't get generated resulting in formatting inconsistencies.
However, if the same website is generated using some online PDF converters all Images & texts are coming fine with correct formatting.
Is this issue due to using CQ CMS as that has a lot of components or is there a limitation with Acrobat XI pro trial version or anything else ?
Appreciate if some one could provide inputs.
Thanks

hi
I'm looking for a tool that will generated pdf content for my site http://alefajnie.pl (gadgets store)
I want have an option to load a page as pdf
when product images goes as background and description is nice __auto__ formatted.
I don't wanna produce pdf from scratch somewhere in my code at server side,
it should be something with toolbar (like js, ..) with option to change content from html to pdf.
For example such plugin for product "kula plazmowa":
http://alefajnie.pl/gadzety/kula-plaznowa/
should get all product images and set from them backgrounds
and rest text should be used as product description.
and all should be generated on client side (client computer) after choosing a option from some js toolbar.
is such toolbar exists ?If your site visitors have Adobe Acrobat on their system, they can print to Adobe PDF from their browser.
File > Print > Adobe PDF.
I am not aware of any client-side scripts that will force a page to automatically print to paper or PDF. The best you can do is open a print dialogue screen with an option to print. The rest is entirely up to your site visitors.
<input type="button" value="Print Page" onClick="javascript:window.print();">
If you want to make HTML to PDF docs on the fly, you'll need to use a server-side script. This one works with PHP. http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/

Generate PDF (BI Publisher) through APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS
Hi!
Oracle 10.2.0.4 32, Apex 4.0.2, BIP 10.x Win.
I have to generate cca. 1000 reports in PDF (some customer bills) through BI Publisher print server.
PDF is defined through "Reports queries" and "Reports layouts" directly defined from Apex env. Report template is Word RTF file. Report query has one parameter:
and R.BILL_ID = :G_BILL_IDRunning from App page process it is not acceptable to do that because operation should takes hours and user cannot have open freezed browser.
So I found out "APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS", which submit process in "job" as background process.
On page I left just "SUBMIT_PROCESS" call:
BEGIN
APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS ('begin bills_pkg.generate_biils; end');
END;and put the whole logic in package. Small problem was to change Apex item (Application item), what I solved and change with:
APEX_UTIL.set_session_state(p_name => 'G_BILL_ID', p_value => cur_array(i).B_ID);for every record in cursor (I know his is not optimal but I just wanted to get working demo).
Call from package procedure is like (slightly modified from Apex page process which was working!):
open cur;
-- assign to have that value as parameter for !??
APEX_UTIL.set_session_state(p_name => 'G_BILL_ID', p_value => cur_array(i).B_ID);
print_one_report (cur_array(i).B_ID);
close cur;where "print_one_report" is mine procedure which saves PDF in db (proc was the same as before when was working but with too long result).
Unfortunately then all generated PDF reports (which I save in database) has 0 bytes length (I call the same procedure called as before when reports were generated but from Apex page process directly).
Seems that "G_BILL_ID" is no longer having correct values ... like session problems.
How to achieve and fix that (generate PDF from cursor) or is there any article how to manage BI Publisher printing with APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS?
Rg,
Damir Vadas
P.S.
Should
apex_custom_auth.define_user_session (p_user, p_session_id );
apex_application.g_flow_id := p_app_id;might help?

Here is one way that you could get a background job to create your thousand reports (4 steps).
1st define your report query and layout within APEX (and BI-Publisher builder - Word plugin).
2nd write a custom process to call apex_util.get_print_document to generate your 1000 reports and place them in a blob column.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_util.htm#CHDDECIA
DECLARE
l_document BLOB;
l_security_group_id NUMBER;
CURSOR your_cur IS
SELECT...your thousand records
BEGIN
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id);
l_security_group_id := wwv_flow_api.get_security_group_id;
FOR your_rec IN your_cur LOOP
BEGIN
set any item values that will be referenced in your report query here
l_document := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (p_application_id => v_your_app_id,
p_report_query_name => v_your_defined_report_name,
p_report_layout_name => v_your_defined_layout_name,
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf',
--p_print_server =>
INSERT INTO your_table... id, l_document, file_name, mime_type...
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
write an error to a job log...
END;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
write an error to a job log...
END;3rd write logic that will submit your custom process using APEX_PLSQL_JOB.SUBMIT_PROCESS or you can use dmbs_scheduler package.
4th write code to retrieve the report data from the blob column and display or distribute to users.
I've never called the apex_util.get_print_document recursively like this before so I'm not sure how it will perform. There are 4 versions of the get_print_document API so use the one that best fits your needs with performance in mind.
After writing the above logic I found this post that is very similar.
Scheduling reports with dbms_scheduler
An alternative method to what I've listed above is scheduling reports using the Bi-Publisher web service.

Crystal Report generate PDF with J2EE problem
Dear All
I am having a great problem on generating PDF file by Crystal Report in J2EE.
I have my J2EE application runs Crystal Report to generate PDF files.
However for a report, i hit the following error (red color) when the PDF is generating.
But is no problem for the other reports.
Here is the code that i used to generate the PDF
My OS and Java version as follows
Window 2003 server.
Java 1.4.2_04
Please Kindly Help
Thanks very much

I have tried this code but stil the same.
However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
So i guess that is the memory size problem.
Thanks for this
One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
I have set in catalina.bat as
set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
and CRConfig as
<JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
<JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
1. Is that the correct setting.?
2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory -
"Error while generating pdf" error come when clicking on "Print Version "
Hello ,
When we execute Query in the Portal there is a 'Print version' button.
When you select it, it opens up print dialog and click OK
It is supposed to send 'pdf' stream to Web browser client on end user but it is not able to generate the pdf .
getting ' Error while generating pdf '
I am working on BI 7.0 .
The same is running fine in the Q Environment .But in Production we are getting this error .
Thanks ,
RahulHi,
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:

Hello Guru's,
I have done the ADS configuration setup and checked all configuration settings.It seems everything is working fine but when i select the option "Print Verison" ( I have executed a query using the query designer) i am getting above error.
FYI: Its a BI 700 system and we are at Suport pack10 level (both ABAP+Java). By the way i should let you know that it is a copy of Production.
Here is the log:
Error while generating PDF
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.pageexport.PageExportRenderingRootNode PageExport1
Error while generating PDF
com.sap.ip.bi.webapplications.pageexport.PageExportRenderingRootNode PageExport#
Any thoughts as to what the messages above might be pointing me to?I should appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi.Hello Dezso,
I have executed the test report FP_TEST_00 and i got a form containing several lines on two pages.I have checked all the configuration checks and got the correct results as mentioned in the ADS document. But when i try to print a query using the query analyzer,i am getting that PDF error. I have no issues with my other BI 700 system.

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.

Thanks in advance for every support,
JanHi 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!!

Arafat
