Generating PDF file using FOP API in Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I would like to generate PDF files from a WebDynpro application without using Adobe Interactive forms.
I think that I can export context data to XML stream and then apply XSLT transformation to produce XSLFO format and then pass it to xlfo processor i.e FOP to generate the PDF file.
Has someone already try this way of generating PDF files?
Is it a good way of processing ?
Thanks in advance.
Thomas.

hi Thomas,
You can make use of the iText API to create pdf documents through webdynpro.
For this you'll have to download the Itext api jar file.
Right click your webdynpro project include this jar file using the 'add external jar files'.Now you'll be able to make use of this api in your webdynpro project.

The above link will help you in using iText API.
hope this one helps you.
Regards,
Rahul.

How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

Hello,
I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
on mouseUp me
pageNum = 4
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum) & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
-- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
end
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
The help files give the following examples:
Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
So I tried:
on mouseUp me
-- Close the program group
tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
pageNum = 4
theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
end
It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
Thanks again!

Performance problems to generate PDF files using CR

Hi,
I develop an application that read TXT files and uses this information to generate PDF files, but I'm having problems with performance to generate this PDF, each files are taking at least 1 minute to create the file. I realized that some TMP and RPT files are generated and deleted in the temp folder of the machine which is running the application, but after some time creating the PDF's the RPT files aren't deleted and I have an exception on my app:
Memory full.
Failed to export the report.

Hi,
If you are using IIS5 the give aspnet full permission to the Temp folders. For IIS6 give IIS_wpg permission.
For this you need to right click on the folder,
go to properties,
security tab,
click on Add,
Type aspnet/iis_wpg,
select top note in Location and click on check on check names.
Give full control and
click ok.
Also try using GC.Collect(), reportDocObject.Close() and reportDocObject.Dispose() as clean up code.

AG.

Problems in using EP API in web dynpro

Hi all,
I am using of the UME API of EP in my web dynpro application. I have inlcuded the 'com.sap.security.jar' file in my build path and did a local build and deployed the application on my development system, it works well. But while moving the same to the quality system, while activating it is throwing syntax errors saying the classes that i have used are undefined. The same erros come even when i do a DC level build.
I have tried including the jar file in the 'lib' folder of the DC, even then, i dont get any errors when i build it locally, where as there are errors while doing a DC level build.
Please tell me if there is any way of including this jar file some where so that it does not throw any erros in DC level build and also while activating.
Regards,
Narahari

Specific SC Dependency for using KM API in Web Dynpro DC

Hi,
I want to use KM API in my Web Dynpro DC.
Currently, I have created it as Local DC and I am using External Lib DC to make use of JARs required for KM APIs.
So my question->
While doing it in NWDI track, is there any special KM specific SC dependency I should include in my track?
Or just standard dependecies (SAP-JEE, SAP_BUILDT, SAP_JTECHS) would be sufficient?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

Hi Amey,
Since you have created an external library DC for the jars, Just add all this jars to public part and use this public part in the required DC.
You have to add the following sharing referece to ur project (which is used at runtime).
Go to webdynpro refernces>sharing references in properties of webdynpro project
Add PORTAL:sap.com/com.sap.km.application
No need to add any SC dependency, the standard dependecies would be sufficient
For more information pls go through this blog
/people/rohit.radhakrishnan/blog/2005/05/27/uploading-files-to-km-repository-using-webdynpro-apis
Hope this helps you..

Saleem

Set Security Question & Answer using UME API in Web dynpro Java

Hi Experts,
I;ve developed a Web Dynpro java application to create a user in UME.
I am able to set all the user account related attributes but I am not able to set the security question and answer as I do not see any attribute for the same.
Can anyone please suggest how to set the Security question and answer in UME?
This is required so that if the user wishes to reset his password / forgets password, we can ask him the security question which he selected at the time of registration.
Please let me know if it can be achieved at the code level and whether UME API supports security question and answer or any such attribute.
Also, if no such attribute is present by default in UME at the moment; can we create/configure some custom attributes in UME and store the security question and answer into those attributes. This would serve our purpose.
Kindly assist.
Regards,
Anurag

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply!!!
I have one doubt here:
You've mentioned the below code to fetch the security questions in your reply:
IUser user = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();
String CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE = "com.sap.security.core.usermanagement";
String attmotname [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"MotherName");
String attlucknum [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"LuckyNumber");
String attmobnum [] = user.getAttribute(CUSTOMER_NAMESPACE,"MobileNumber");.
But this would be only applicable when the user has already logged on to the portal as it uses "WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getSAPUser();" code.
On the contrary, I want the security questions and answer to be accessed even when the user is not logged on to Portal so that based on the question & answer, the user can reset his password.
Please suggest, how can we achieve this and where and how to set the custom attributes for the same?
Do we have to set the Publicly Viewable Custom Attributes present at location you mentioned in your reply?
Also, if yes; please let me know how to set the custom attributes?
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag

Using Room API inside Web DynPro

Hello,
I've developed a Web DynPro Application which uses the Room API of the KMC.
Unfortunately I can not set the Service Reference variable "com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared" as mentioned in the guide.
A Deploy Exception will be thrown ("Missing Arguments...")
If i do not set this variable the following Exception will be thrown:

Greetings

Hi Valery,
thanks for the reply.
I have feared that you say exactly this.
First I have to mention that I of course added the reference variable at the right place (the entry has successfully added to the portalapp.xml)
I looked to the services and do NOT find anything about "com.sap.netweaver.coll.shared" so my next question is:
Where to get it and how to deploy it?

How to print PDF files using java print API

Hi,
I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
Thanks in advance

Mike,
Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
boolean showPrintDialog=true;
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
try {
if (showPrintDialog) {
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
printJob.print();
else
printJob.print ();
} catch (Exception PrintException) {
PrintException.printStackTrace();
Thank you and a happy new year.
Cheers,
Chris

Header in pdf overlaping body of pdf doc:using fop

I'm generating PDF file with FOP, but my header contents are not fixed, they keep on changing with each report and with each locale of browser.
Because of this my static width / height setting like
margin-top="0.25in"or
margin-top="0.95in"is failing for some reports, i.e my header is overlapping with body contents.
Is there a generic solution which can fix this?
More details:
Header of pdf is overlapping on the contents of body of pdf, because of which I am not able to see my top contents in my body of pdf document.
I want to way by which ,if header contents are increased then body should start after the layout of header.
But in pdf api it is required to set:
<fo:region-body margin-top="1.25in" margin-bottom="0.50in" />
<fo:region-before extent="1.25in"/>
<fo:region-after extent="0.50in"/>which is causing problem bec. when my text in header increases beyond 1.25in which is specified in
<fo:region-body margin-top="1.25in"then in that case header text overlapps body text.

When you distribute a form using the distribute process, Acrobat replaces whatever code you placed in the button with its own. You do not need to use the distribution process to set this up. Instead, Reader-enable the form and your button should work like you want.

Problem with number-fields in PDF Output Using FOP

When generating PDF Output using FOP as described in the utilitiy provided in the HTMLDB Studio http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:12104450162492733947::::P44_ID:1522
formatted numbers over 1,000 are resolved as characters (because of the comma) and are therefore right justified. This results in alignment issues for numeric columns.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to work around this.
Thanks,
David

Hello,
Your probably going to have to edit the xslt to get the result either by stripping out the comma or by setting that column to explicitly align the way you want it.

How to generate PDF file from HTML file using Acrobat API's

Hi,
I want to generate a PDF file from an HTML file on server side(C# .Net).
Their is a COM interop called "AcrobatWeb2PDF" availaible but could not find any document regarding how to use it.
I cant use "Adobe live cycle PDF Generator" as we just have license for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
Please help...
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Mahadik.

> It is hard to believe that Adobe doesn't provide a toolkit for generating PDF files, so many web based applications have vector based content that needs to be converted to PDF!!!!
They do, it's just not free (A company in business to make money? I'm sure IBM would never think this way... ;)). As mentioned you have Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator, which you can customize and extend with Java. You also have the Adobe PDF Library SDK, which is written for use with C/C++ although if you license it from Datalogics (the only company in NA Adobe allows to license the PDF Library) you will also get .NET and Java interfaces (part of the DLE - DataLogics Extensions).
> There must be a way to generate PDF dynamically on a server or from Javascript!
JavaScript? Not really, no. As far as I'm aware JavaScript has no file system access capabilities without some form of intermediary (like sending the data to a webservice that writes it out to file). How would you create a PDF file with JavaScript?
The PDF Standard is also in ISOs hands now (ISO 32000-1:2008), it is no longer owned by Adobe - you can download a copy of the specification from them and write your own library based on that as well.

Dots are appearing on characters after created PDF through *.dwg file using AutoVue API

Hi,
I created PDF's through *.dwg file using AutoVue API 20.2.2. I observed in more zoom of PDF, every character or line has dots. At the same time on second page of PDF drawing lines are thicker that first page of PDF.
Please kindly help on this, how to remove dots and drawing lines are published same as on first page.
Thanks,
Siva

As with any format that does not support zoomable line thickness, the output is dpi dependent
Imagine the DPI impact on a PDF is similar to the DPI on an image, except you can zoom into the lines, they look smooth (it is vector) but the position for the specific points is not as accurate as it should
So it all boils down to how are you generating the PDF?
