To generate PDF using BI APIs and loadjava utility

Hi All,
I am trying to generate PDF using BI APIs(FOProcessor etc).
I have generated XML data through the PL/SQl procedure and storing it in a file. This file is loacted in database tier.
The APIs is used through a simple java program which is application tier. To test the process, I had to manually provide the XML file to the java class in order to generate PDF and it does generate.
Now the issue is I need to load the java class to the database so that everything gets automated(loadjava utlility).
when i try to do it, it give no class found error.
Do I need to load the referenced classes in the java file , that is, FOProcessor,RTFProcessor,FOUtility,jdbc.driver.OracleDriver as well?
If the above is not possible, is it possible to reference a file in database tier from application tier so that i can use the XML file as input the java class in application tier.
thanks,
Srik

The only reason I am responding to this post is because the poster sent me a request through the forum message system asking for my help.
Although I did populate PDFs with FDF data generated by web forms a year or so ago, I have since abandoned that kind of solution. It was a big headache. I found it far more stable and flexible to use html, php and css to populate forms that are almost as nice looking as PDFs.
So my advice is, if you can possibly avoid going the FDF/PDF route, you will be better off.

Spawn a new PDF using Java Script within LC Designer

I am trying to spawn a new PDF file to be created from an existing PDF using Java Script within the LC designer
I have this example but I can't get it to work
function createPdf()
    pdf = pdf$();
    pdf.addText('Hello World');
    pdf.writeToFile('c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
    window.open('file://c:/temp/hello_world.pdf');
Is it possible to create a PDF like this within LC Designer?

Hi
I would like to see if it was possible. I thought it would be easy, as
there is a standard batch processing sequence (Print 1st page of all) using
Java that comes with Acrobat 7. This allows you to print the first page of
a number of files that you select when the sequence is run. Its code is:
/* Print 1st Page */
/* This sequence prints the first page of
   each document selected to the default printer.
this.print
To my uninformed mind it seemed logical that the same code, slightly
modified to print all pages, should work from within a form.
Anyway, if there is a way to choose individual files, I would appreciate
that.
Thanks

Problem while generating PDF using iText

Hi:
I have generated PDF using iText, where i have written all code in sequential flow.
<code>
com.lowagie.text.Document document = new com.lowagie.text.Document(PageSize.A4, 55, 5, 20, 20);
OutputStream outputstream = response.getOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,outputstream);
</code>
And i have added all fields in the document.
But my problem is how to display total pagecount on all pages e.g.1\20 (because i have generated PDF sequentially)
Also i want to add watermark on all pages.
So, can any body help me to solve this problem?
Thank You,
Balaji

Not able to produce some Czech characters in pdf using java.

Hi All,
I am not able to produce some Czech characters like ě and č in pdf using java. Can you please guide me what could be the cause. The characters are coded in properties file and its just neglecting č and ě and taking other character next to it.
we have used below code to display the characters but its also not working..first we thought its font issue since Helvetica dont come by default in windows but after putting helvetica font also we are not able to produce the characters.
BaseFont baseFont = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1250, false);
Font fontStyle = new Font(baseFont, 12, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);

4th paragraph at http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html explains it.
Note also that Java 6 allows you to produce properties files in encodings other than ISO-8859-1, provided you load them via a reader with a matching encoding. (Also see that link posted by baftos.) This might be more practical then the Unicode encoding which was required in earlier versions of Java.

Generate PDF from Java

Is there any way to generate PDF directly from any kind of Pane (especially JEditorPane or JTextPane) in Java (Swing) application? I would like to write a program, that shows the user a document summarizing user's actions and allows to print it or save as a PDF file.
If you know any external library or extension that make my dreams come true, please let me know :)

I use this library for many years. It`s realy very good. I`ve never had any problem with it. It's extremly easy to use. Many of examples are included.

Generating XML Using JAVA

How to generate XML usng java without using following.
import org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat;
import org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer;
XML to be generated is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Modi xmlns:xsi="Modi/Modi1">
<docConfig>
<className>PO</className>
<classDesc>Purchase</classDesc>
<create>Y</create>
</docConfig>
<indexConfig>
<index sequence="1">
<shortName>PODATE</shortName>
<displayName>PO Date</displayName>
<type>date</type>
<length>10</length>
</index>
</indexConfig>
</upload>

Two answers.
If you want to not use any of the XML-oriented classes, you can use a PrintWriter. Just code:
PrintWriter pw = new PrinteWriter(whatever);
pw.println( "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>" );
etc.If you want to use XML-oriented classes, but just not these 3 (can't imagine why), then use
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
instead of XMLSerializer and OutputFormat, and
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
instead of the DocumentImpl

Generate XML using Java

Hi all,
How can I genrate a XML document using Java? What are the imports that I have to use? Also please tell me about JAXP and in what way it can be used to generate an XML
Please Help me with examples..
Thanks in advance

You can generate xml with dom like this
try {
     DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
     Document document = docBuilder.newDocument();
     Element element = document.createElement("<your_tag_name>"); // creares tag
     element.setAttribute("key", "value"); // adds an attribute to your tag
     Text text = document.createTextNode("some text"); // creates "some text node"
     element.appendChild(text); // adds text to our tag for ex. <your_tag_name>some text</your_tag_name>
     CDATASection cdata = document.createCDATASection("cdata text");
     element.appendChild(cdata); // appends it to element
     document.appendChild(element); // if you want to add this element *** root element
     // or
     root.appendChild(element); // where root is another Element object
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
}

Error when generating PDF using FM 9

I am trying to generate a PDF using FM 9 and Distiller 9. For some reason, one particular file is causing problems. When I try to generate a PDF with this file, I get the following error message:
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: M ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Anybody know what to do when this happens?
Thanks.

I suppose I should provide more background. We recently upgraded to the Technical Communication Suite 2, which when this problem started occurring. Prior to that, I was able to generate a PDF from this file when I was using FrameMaker 8.
The file in question is a chapter in a book. Using FrameMaker 9 and Distiller 9, I can create PDFs from the other files in the book. The one with which I am having problems has screenshots in it. The screenshots are GIFs that I imported as files, and I did not link to them. I did some experimenting and discovered that if I print to file and drag the PS file into distiller, the PDF generates. Also, I created a version of this chapter without screenshots, and was able to generate a PDF.
And I am now getting a different error message:
Adobe PDF Settings file read error in PDFX4 2008.joboptions:
/CheckCompliance out of range
Anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks.
