Generating PDF using toolbar script

Hi All,
I am trying to create a PDF using a toolbar script and iText libraries.
I need to convert an MSA to a PDF.
What I want to know is that after the PDF is created, how can I auto open it in IE without human intervention.
Any pointers shall be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Himanshu

Hello,Expert,
we tried creating the PDF using the following script, and got an error. Could you please give me some adviece about it!!
Many thinks..
the Script is:
para = new Paragraph("asdsadsdsadsadas");
Document doc1 = new Document();
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc1,bos);
doc1.open();
doc1.add(para );
doc1.close();
FileInputStream nos = new FileInputStream(bos);
//newAttachment = TypeFactory.createAttachment();
//newAttachment.setFileData("Vendor Admit Certificate",nos,doc,session);
The Error Message is:
Typed variable declaration : Constructor error: Can't find constructor:
java.io.FileInputStream( java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream ) in class: java.io.FileInputStream

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

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.

Converting Back to Original PDF Using Post Script File

Is there any way to convert back to an original PDF using a post srcipt file that was created from that original PDF? Allow me to fully explain my situation:
I converted multiple pdf's that I created into a post script file. I then utilized Adobe Distiller to convert them into a pdf that could be used for better printing and better usability by the end user. Unfortunately, when Distiller did this conversion, it replaced my original pdf with the new one. By the time I realized what was happening, all files had been replaced.
I still have the post script file that was created from the original PDF file; is there any way possible using this post script file that it can be somehow converted back to the original PDF file? There are some edits that I need to do on the original PDF. The pdf that Distiller creates doesn't allow for anymore edits. My goal is to be able to make my edits without having to re-create 37 pages of documents.
The software versions I'm using are as follows: Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, Adobe Distiller Version 10.1.438.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Hello, thank you for responding.
Yes the url links start with http:
For example when I type in
http://canberracontemporaryartspace.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/staying-out-of-trouble/
in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "not found"
And then when I type in

in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "page not found"

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.

How to generate PDF using fonts from Extended Font Pack?

Hello
Extended Font Pack, available for download contains MyriadPro-Regular.otf font that has cyrillic glyphs.
I want to generate PDF document with cyrillic unicode data that can refer to the MyriadPro-Regular font resource without embedding font.
Are Extended Font Pack resources CID keyed fonts or not?
Looks like such example of PDF structure allowed me to use it only in ANSI encoding
           'Type':'/Font',
            'Subtype':'/Type1',
             'Name': '/MyriadPro-Regular' ,
            'BaseFont': '/MyriadPro-Regular',
             'Encoding': '/WinAnsiEncoding',
What values should be for `Subtype` and `Encoding` to render cyrillic unicode (UTF-8 encoded) data and use MyriadPro-Regular Open Type downloaded from adobe and installed into local system without embedding it?
Thanks

Sorry for the delay. I admired with investigation of this case.
My aim is to generate PDF docs on web site that have i18ned content. ALso client does not want to deal with any font licenses (font embedding will raise question about font licensing) and to reduce PDF file size with such approach. So I'm looking for the ability to link fonts in PDF source, that can be easiely downloaded from adobe.com and installed into local desktop. With Latin group (en-us, french, german) we can use one of the 14 standard fonts, for CJK - Adobe Asian Font pack. I was considering (Myriad Pro or Minion Pro) font resources from Extended Font pack to cover Cyrillic glyphs. I observed that such fonts are usually installed with Adobe Reader installation (MyriadPro-regular.otf). To render cyrillic glyphs I followed such steps like converted into cp1251 encoding range of the cyrillic unicode data (as you told those fonts do not support unicode encodings the same way as CID keyed asian fonts) and pointed to the Type1 MyriadPro-Regular with custom WinAnsiEncoding. One problem I faced with is - that glyphnames are differrent in diferent Extended Font pack versions. I mean that cyrillic glyphnames for the Adobe Reader 8 started from `afii100xx`, when for the Adobe Reader 9 they are named `uni0xx` for the same font named MyriadPro. I used such glyphnames in the /Differences list in PDF source. How can I generate PDF source that can be viewed successfully in both Adobe Readers version 8 and 9?

Need to custom combine PDF - use a script?

I would like to make various booklets from a folder containing many pdfs. If I use a script, the script would have to read an input file and arrange the order and the output bound pdfs. I would also like to run the script from within a portfolio, is that possible?
TIA
j

I'm not sure what you mean by running the script from a portfolio, but I've
created a script that reads a text file with file paths and then combines
those paths into a new file. See here:

How to generate PDF using FDF file and the PDF form template (PHP)

Hi Folks,
I'm really sorry that I couldn't follow all the valuable discussions going on here, regularly. I need some immediate help.
I NEED A PHP SOLUTION. I'm able to generate FDF files using the PDF Form Template in PHP. So, I have a collection of FDF files, which seeks the PDF template, while opened and populates the template with FDF data. Now if I need to save this PDF file, I have to do it manually clicking SAVE option. But, I need to convert FDF to PDF in bulk. So, I need some PHP based solution. The PHP script takes the PDF template and the FDF file and merges them to generate a complete populated PDF file. I know it's possible, but don't know how. I've seen Adobe FDF Toolkit. But by default it doesn't show any guideline for PHP. Please help me to write this code. I'm a professional coder. I can understand your hints and tutorials. PLEASE HELP GOOD PEOPLE.

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.

Generate PDF using Managed Bean with custom HTTP headers

Background
Generate a report in various formats (e.g., PDF, delimited, Excel, HTML, etc.) using JDeveloper 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) upon clicking an af:commandButton. See also the StackOverflow version of this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/13654625/59087
Problem
HTTP headers are being sent twice: once by the framework and once by a bean.
Source Code
The source code includes:
- Button Action
- Managed Bean
- Task Flow
Button Action
The button action:
<af:commandButton text="Report" id="submitReport" action="Execute" />
Managed Bean
The Managed Bean is fairly complex. The code to `responseComplete` is getting called, however it does not seem to be called sufficiently early to prevent the application framework from writing the HTTP headers.
HTTP Response Header Override
* Sets the HTTP headers required to indicate to the browser that the
* report is to be downloaded (rather than displayed in the current
* window).
protected void setDownloadHeaders() {
HttpServletResponse response = getServletResponse();
response.setHeader( "Content-Description", getContentDescription() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment, filename="
+ getFilename() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Type", getContentType() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Transfer-Encoding",
getContentTransferEncoding() );
Issue Response Complete
The bean indirectly tells the framework that the response is handled (by the bean):
getFacesContext().responseComplete();
Bean Run and Configure
public void run() {
try {
Report report = getReport();
configure(report.getParameters());
report.run();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void configure(Parameters p) {
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PROTOCOL, "http");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_HOST, "localhost");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PORT, "7002");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PATH, "/reports/rwservlet");
p.put(Parameters.PARAM_REPORT_FORMAT, "pdf");
p.put("report_cmdkey", getReportName());
p.put("report_ORACLE_1", getReportDestinationType());
p.put("report_ORACLE_2", getReportDestinationFormat());
Task Flow
The Task Flow calls Execute, which refers to the bean's `run()` method:
entry -> main -> Execute -> ReportBeanRun
Where:
<method-call id="ReportBeanRun">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>Execute Report</display-name>
<method>#{reportBean.run}</method>
<outcome>
<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
The bean is assigned to the `request` scope, with a few managed properties:
<control-flow-rule id="__3">
<from-activity-id>main</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="ExecuteReport">
<from-outcome>Execute</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>ReportBeanRun</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
<managed-bean id="ReportBean">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>ReportBean</display-name>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
The `<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>` strikes me as incorrect -- I don't want the method call to return to another task.
Restrictions
The report server receives requests from the web server exclusively. The report server URL cannot be used by browsers to download directly, for security reasons.
Error Messages
The error message that is generated:
Duplicate headers received from server
Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple distinct Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks.Nevertheless, the report is being generated. Preventing the framework from writing the HTTP headers would resolve this issue.
Question
How can you set the HTTP headers in ADF while using a Task Flow to generate a PDF by calling a managed bean?
Ideas
Some additional ideas:
- Override the Page Lifecycle Phase Listener (`ADFPhaseListener` + `PageLifecycle`)
- Develop a custom Servlet on the web server

Thank you!

The problem was that the HTTP headers were in fact being written twice:
1. The report server was returning HTTP response headers.
2. The bean was including its own HTTP response headers (as shown in the question).
3. The bean was copying the entire contents of the report server response, including the headers, into the output stream.
Firefox ignored the duplicate header errors, but Google Chrome did not.
