Generating a PDF document within a servlet

I am looking to create a servlet that generates an XML file using the XML SQL utility and then presents the user with a PDF file (report) of the results. I have a style sheet that works with FOP 0.17 and have used the command line to generate a PDF based on this style sheet. I would now like to embed this as an option within a servlet.
I have read the posting about doing this using the XSQL servlet, but I would prefer to write my own servlet and not use the XSQL servlet.
An example code would be extreamly helpful.
Thanks

In this case you has to use FOP as standalone procesor, refer to xml.apache.org for details.

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

How do you link a pdf. document within a Keynote slide?

Gary, I'm trying to save a Keynote presentation that was created from a Powerpoint presenation using PDF files.
It imported beautifully, problem is it won't play. Keeps giving me a "Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occured" message.
I thought it was a Powerpoint/Keynote incompatibility thing, so I recreated the presentation - 1 pdf per slide just like you have here (I did this before finding your post) and it still wouldn't play. I even tried JPG - nothing; just horrible looking images.
Is there something I'm missing?

Automate generating savable PDF document

I have a following situation: I have a web-application for filling of some documents by online, this application have functionality for generation PDF with form of the filled document. It is necessary for me, that I could generate PDF files with saved forms for filling by offline with further sending on server of my application. Besides, when I try to distribute this PDF file by Acrobat Pro, I receive forms at which there is a button of form sending by e-mail. Even if I created the sending button by URL, it is all the same substituted on sending by e-mail. Therefore I wish to learn, whether probably to realise the following:
1) Creation saved PDF files with forms software. (I have known only about creation XDP of files and their conversion in saved PDF by means of Reader Extension).
2) If the first variant is not realised, I want to known about possibility of usage "Distribute form" Acrobat Pro for creation saved PDF files without change existing "Submit" sending buttons by URL.

How to generate a PDF document from ABAP program

Hi experts,
I have arequirement where in i need to create a PDF document using program. I have all the data collected into tables and i have used the calss CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT.
A pdf document is successfully created, but unable to open it because of some error. I guess some encryption is missing.
As an alternative I have created a smartform and generated its OTF data in my program and created a PDF. This is working fine.
But as per my requirement, i cannot go for a smart form.
Any help to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated.

Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions. Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet? For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper. I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet. Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
Thank you in advance
David

Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

Can you specify ink trapping for a PDF document within Acrobat Professional, after a PDF has been cr

(File > Properties > Advanced > Trapped)
In other words, does this specification really change the ink trapping of the PDF, or does it just change a document information metadata tag?
Or, does ink trapping have to be specified when the PDF is created, in the application that creates the PDF?

Your assumption is correct. That field entry will not affect or perform trapping.
Trapping does not have to be performed by the authoring program. Better results are obtained via the RIP/software/system processing the image data.

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

JSP to Generate PDF Document

Hi,
I am developing a jsp system that needs to generate a pdf document for every page before proceding to the next on the click of a button.
What i have now is itext but itext is a time taker! i have to literally code every page and extract values from my classes.
What i would like is if there was such an api that could auto generate the jsp page into pdf since all the values will be there when the user clicks to procede to the next page.
Would really appreciate help!!
Thanks,
Dev

Try to find out more about Filters usage.
It's a kind of wrapper that get executed when a user request a resources(page for instance) before the file(specified in form action) takes control, this is used to carry out common process to a group of pages without coding each piece of code in each page,
AND when a response is send back, this same Filter get control to include or modified current response to client.
I think that in order to parse the response and generate .pdf files(if the pdf for current page does not exist) you should write the html response in xml format. or at least you should use a component like JTidy that builds an XHTML-compliant page from a non-xhtml compliant page.
In Filter implementation you should parse the response and transform it using Formatting Object Processor such as FOP or XING, or anyother
Hope this help as starting point
Regards

Can I generate pdf document that has Acrojs functionality with the sdk?

Hi, I was wondering if I can create a pdf document with Acrojs functionality in it from the sdk. I'm looking to see if I can create an application in C# that generates a pdf document with a form scripted with Acrojs. Is this possible? Thank you guys for your attention.

>Until now, I could see the TOC on my PDF.
Nothing has changed.
Remember, iBA is not a PDF authoring tool.

Rendering pdf document properly in JSP

I am currently working on a Portal project, which requires generating a PDF file and passing this to a JSP file providing an option to the user to either view the PDF file or download and save it. I've accomplished the first part of file creation (I am using iText for generating the pdf document), but I�m unable to send the file from server to the client side (ie to the browser).
The code
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=file.pdf");
which works perfectly fine when used as a standalone to popup an PDF file in tomcat server but fails to accomplish to render the outputstream properly(the stream is rendered in the JSP page improperly as text instead of associating with the application for reading pdf document�s) in the Portal Server Environment. Can anyone throw some light into this problem?

The code is in JSP.
What is the difference in putting the code in JSP or servlet.
How is it working in standalone mode in tomcat application server.

Generate multiple PDFs using FOP

Hello,
please take a look to the following code snipplet it is intended for the generation of a PDF document. The PDF-content is written to an OutputStream which works quite well.
The problem is that I want to append some more PDF content to the OutpuStream, but these seams to be impossible. Is there anybody who merged several PDF-Streams to one "big OutputStream" ?
try
driver.setOutputStream(pdf);
//Setup XSLT
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslt));
//Setup input for XSLT transformation
Source src = new StreamSource(xml);
//Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler());
//Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
transformer.transform(src, res);
System.out.println("first transformation...");
finally
pdf.close();
}

Hang on, your thread title suggests you want to generate multiple PDF documents from a single xml source, but the text is talking about combining pdf content.
I'm not sure which one you really want so I'll the first one.
I've recently had to generate multiple pdf documents from a single xml source. I used the following (hoping the tags render okay):
               <xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="html">
                    
                    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
                         <xsl:call-template name="masterSet"/>
                         
                         <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
                    </fo:root>
               </xsl:result-document>I used the Saxon engine to split the xml into multiple .fo documents and then ran FOP over each of these.
The 'xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="html"' element does the splitting. Obviously, the filename variable defines the path to the outpute file. You'll no doubt define that within some kind of for-each loop.
