Generating PDF with Flex App (swf) embedded

Hi,
Does anyone has the experience in developing a Flex Application that is to be
embedded into a PDF and open in the Reader/Acrobat for data capturing?
How to embed the Flex Application (swf) into a PDF in a Livecycle process?
With the XML data prepopulated into the PDF (embedded with a schema) and
accessible by the Flex Application when open in Reader/Acrobat.
Users will still be able to save the data filled in the Flex Application into the PDF
and also to generate a XML data (with data capturing in the Flex App) to be
submitted back to the server.
How can these be achieve? Any example?
Thanks alot.

Just wondering, am I in the correct section of the forum? it seems like most of the discussions listed here are related to form designing rather than form rendering.
I know this is FORMS ES section, just that i come across something that might related to the topic.
Has anyone try out Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator ES2 new features?
Based on Adobe Upgrade Center http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/upgrade/pdfgenerator.html, it mentioned that PDF Generator ES2 has the ability to embed SWF files in PDF.
But is this also applicable to Flex Application compiled SWF file?
Does the generated PDF function as a normal interactive form?
Able to retain its embedded schema and objects (scripts)?
I will try to install LC ES2 to try out but need sometime to setup the system, really appreciate if someone can give me a head start.
Thanks.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.
Here is a sample PDF:

You would need to post a sample PDF that demonstrates the problem. All you posted there is text. (PDF is a BINARY file format)

View PDF with Flex

Is it possible to load and view a PDF or a PDF thats been
convereted to an SWF in a flex app? I've seen sites like
docstoc.com / scribd.com / issue.com doing this. How are they doing
this? I have not been able to find much on this subject.
Would pdf2swf work for this? If so are the swf's generated by
this tool compatible with AS3? Does anyone have sample code showing
this example?
I am pretty much stuck. I would appreciate any help or
guidance. This seems to be a popular feature.

i don't think there is a component to do this. But I think,
you can open PDF inside you flex application using IFrame.
You may want to vote for the feature request:

Generating PDF from Flex BarChart

Hello,
I am new to Flex. Have been playing with creating Advanced
Data Grid and Bar Charts for our application prototype and would
like to explore how to create a PDF file of the BarChart or other
charting components.
The requirement is simple. We show the BarChart and a button
to view it as a PDF. When the user presses the button, the PDF
viewing dialog should come up and the user can opt to save the PDF
or view it (the standard way a browser deals with the PDF).
Have read blogs, this forum and LiveCycle docs but don't
understand clearly how Flex communicates with
LiveCycle ES (or PDF Generator) to display the PDF. Any ideas
or tutorials that does this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kannan

In order to generate a PDF document, you have to call a
method on a Java remote object that uses the XFAHelper and pass it
some arguments.
I modified the PDFService example in the documentation so I
can:
1- specify any document as opposed to hardcoding the PDF
template name
2- write the PDF to a file as opposed to writing it in the
user's session
Here is the source:
package com.mycompany.flex.remoteObjects;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import flex.acrobat.pdf.XFAHelper;
import flex.messaging.FlexContext;
import flex.messaging.util.UUIDUtils;
public class PDFService
public PDFService()
public Object generatePDF(Document dataset, String
PDFdocument) throws IOException
// Open shell PDF
String source =
FlexContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/pdfgen/" +
PDFdocument);
int index = source.indexOf("./");
if(index != -1 )
// Remove the ./ added by UNIX
source = source.substring(0, index) + source.substring(index
+ 2, source.length());
XFAHelper helper = new XFAHelper();
helper.open(source);
// Import XFA dataset
helper.importDataset(dataset);
// Create a unique ID
String uuid = UUIDUtils.createUUID(false);
source =
FlexContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/dynamic-pdf/" + uuid
+ "_" + PDFdocument);
index = source.indexOf("./");
if(index != -1 )
// Remove the ./ added by UNIX
source = source.substring(0, index) + source.substring(index
+ 2, source.length());
// Create the file object
File file = new File(source);
// Save the file
helper.save(file);
// Close any resources
helper.close();
return (uuid + "_" + PDFdocument);
pdfgen is the folder where my PDF template resides.
dynamic-pdf is the folder where the generated PDF are saved.
These two folders are located under flex.war at the first
level.
In Flex, I wrote a Cairngorm command that calls this remote
object and displays the generated PDF:
package com.mycompany.core.commands
import com.adobe.cairngorm.commands.ICommand;
import com.adobe.cairngorm.control.CairngormEvent;
import com.adobe.cairngorm.business.Responder;
import
com.mycompany.core.business.GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate;
import
com.mycompany.core.control.event.GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent;
import com.mycompany.core.model.ModelLocator;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.collections.*;
import mx.core.Application;
import mx.controls.Alert;
public class GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand implements ICommand,
Responder
[Bindable]
private var model:ModelLocator = ModelLocator.getInstance();
public function GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand():void
public function execute(event:CairngormEvent):void
trace("Executing GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand...");
var delegate : GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate = new
GenerateAndOpenPDFDelegate( this );
var generateAndOpenPDFEvent : GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent =
event as GenerateAndOpenPDFEvent;
delegate.generateAndOpenPDF( generateAndOpenPDFEvent.pdfVO
public function onResult( event : * = null ) : void
var item:Object;
var result:String = (event as ResultEvent).result as String;
trace("GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand::onResult\n\n" + result);
if (result)
// Open the generated PDF in a new window
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(ModelLocator.FLEX_URL +
"dynamic-pdf/" + result), "_blank");
// Hide the progress bar overlay
Application.application.requestProgressBar.visible = false;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.source =
null;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.label
= this.model.languageDictionary["000012"];
public function onFault( event : * = null ) : void
// Hide the progress bar overlay
Application.application.requestProgressBar.visible = false;
Application.application.requestProgressBar.progressBar.source =
null;
// Debug
Alert.show("GenerateAndOpenPDFCommand:\n\n" + (event as
FaultEvent).message);
FLEX_URL is created in this way some place else in the
application:
// Get the server URL from the Application's
var server:String = Application.application.url;
var index:uint = server.indexOf("Shell"); // Shell is the
name of my app folder
server = server.substring(0, index);
// This is the flex.war/ URL
ModelLocator.FLEX_URL = server;
Of course, it would be better to save the PDF in the user's
session as Adobe suggests, but I couldn't figure out how they use
the PDFResourceServlet. First of all, I had to get its code.
I had to decompile the java class files in the samples to get
the source of the PDFResourceServlet as it is not in the
documentation. Here it is:
package com.mycompany.flex.remoteObjects;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
public class PDFResourceServlet extends HttpServlet
public PDFResourceServlet()
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
doPost(req, res);
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
String id = req.getParameter("id");
if(id != null)
HttpSession session = req.getSession(true);
try
byte bytes[] = (byte[])(byte[])session.getAttribute(id);
if(bytes != null)
res.setContentType("application/pdf");
res.setContentLength(bytes.length);
res.getOutputStream().write(bytes);
} else
res.setStatus(404);
catch(Throwable t)
System.err.println(t.getMessage());

How to generate PDF with bookmarks?

Hi,
The business request is to have pdf report with bookmarks. There is no predefined bookmark object in Livecycle Designer/SFP so my idea is to add some scripting to the form to generate bookmarks dynamically. I defined a standard pdf form with several lines of JavaScript embedded. The script is running in the form preview in Livecycle Later I was testing the form by calling its function module and looking at the generated PDF file. Unfortunately it seems there is no script embedded in the final output PDF generated by ADS.
Is Javascript supported in pdf forms? Do I need to perform any additional operations to enable the Javascipt? Do I need to pass additional parameters to ADS? I tested the following settings:
       fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
       fp_docparams-DYNAMIC = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFTAGGED = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFCHANGESRESTRICTED = ' '.
I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi Lata,
May be there is some error in the JavaScript code written.
Sometimes if there is an error in JavaScript then from where the error occurs from there the JavaScript wont work in the Adobe Form.
To check whether JavaScript contains errors or not. You just simply open your Adobe Acrobat Reader goto Edit in that goto Preferences and in that Select "JavaScript" in that you find the JavaScript Debugger there you enable "Show Console on errors and messages".
This may help you in some way or the other.

Cannot generate PDF with RH10

I have searched the forum and Peter Grainge's site and not found a solution to this problem that worked.
I have a new installation of RH10 on Windows 7 sp1. It was installed as a trial and then licensed. I do not have the complete Adobe Acrobat -- only the add-on that was installed with RH.
I used RoboHelp HTML to create a simple webhelp project and attempted to generate a PDF from it with the single source layout for Printed Documentation. The following error occurred:

RoboHelp can successfully create a PDF of a single topic. It can create a PDF with Review > Create PDF for Review. It can successfully create a doc from this project, and Word is able to save that doc as a pdf.
RH can open the projects that it created but cannot open the sample projects. The sample directories are read-only and I cannot reset them. I do not know why.
I uninstalled RH and reinstalled it. The problem is still occurring.
I am baffled. I am an inexperienced RH user so the problem might be a simple one. I would be grateful for any advice.
Best wishes,
Juliette Curtis

I was also facing this issue and got the same error. After much trial and error I found the following solution. So sharing that here. ( I am not sure whether this works for all the use cases. But in my case it worked. I am using Windows 7, RH11, and MS Office 2010.)
Open any Office application. (I opened Word)
Open File > Options > Add-Ins. (You will be able to manage your add-ins from this tab. When I browsed through the list I found the "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM" Addin was with the list of "Disabled Application Add-Ins")
Select "Disabled items" from the Manage list. (This list is available at the bottom of the Add-Ins tab)
Click Go. The Disable Items window is displayed.
Select "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" from the list.
Click Enable.
Click Close. The "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" is moved to the list of "Active Application Addins".
Close MS word.
Now when you generate the Printed Documentation output from RH11, the error mentioned in the query is not appearing and a PDF output is generated.
Hope this solution will help.

Generate pdf with apex listener 2.0

hi,
we would like to generate pdf out of apex.
as long as we have text (IRR) WITHOUT special characters (öäü), everything is working fine.
when we have this characters in a text-columng (IRR), then we get a .pdf with the following content:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x3) was found in the element content of the document.
could this be a problem of the characterset? but if, where to change what?
- we defined in ADMIN in 'report printing' / 'instance-settings': oracle-apex-listener
- we are working with apex-listener 2.0 (integrated in weblogic-server)
- we work with APEX 4.2.1.00.08
thanks for any ideas

Is it possible to generate PDF with "enable for commenting" from AI?

I am using Illustrator CS5 and have Acrobat 9 Pro on a Mac. I would like to generate PDF's with "enabled for commenting" feature on.
I was able generate a PDF from CS5 -> open it in Acrobat 9 Pro -> enable commenting -> Save as new PDF
I prefer to skip the above mannual step and generate the PDF with commenting enabled directly from Illustrator. Any ideas?

Acrobat 9 Pro doesn't support batch processing to "enable for commenting" feature. I can batch generate the PDFs from AI but will have to manually convert each PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro....(sucks!!!)
Another option is that I get a Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows - install LiveCycle - tranfer my AI generated PDFs (mac) to windows and use batch processing feature of LiveCycle to convert the PDFs into "enable for commenting" (sucks less!!!)
I would love to hear any other option available.

Batch.bat unable to generate PDFs with FM11 trial version & Elmsft 5.2 trial

Hi,
I am evaluating the trial version of Fm11 and FrameScript 5.2 (Elmsft) to generate PDFs using a Batch.bat file. I am able to generate stand alone PDFs with FM11. Now, I have created a Batch.bat file which calls BooksToPDF.fso and a filelist.txt, which contains the list of .book files. This script should work to generate PDFs. This is not working, the script is unable to open FM11 trial version, error message reads: "unable to connect to FrameMaker-open FrameMaker manually". Can anyone help?
Is there any other way to generate multiple PDFs in one go with Fm11.
Regrads,
Himani

Himani,
If you want to just create PDFs from FM via the command line, then using one of the available FM batch utilities might be an easier route.
Check out:
DZbatcher at: http://www.miramo.com/english/overview/download.html
runfm as part of mif2go and is fully functional in the mif2go demo. See: http://mif2go.com/xhtml/runfm_0002_363understandingrunfmcommandlinesyntax.htm#Rz134x44547

Generating PDF with XML and XSL

Hi, quick basic question...
I'm trying to generate pdf doc from xml with xsl.
I'm using following sample code from xml.apache.org
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Driver driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance()
.newTransformer(new StreamSource("foo.xsl"));
transformer.transform(xmlsource, new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
xmlSource is my regular xml that wants to be pdf.
is foo.xsl any regular xsl that I use to coonvert xml into html?
or is it some special xsl that is tailored for pdf.
Is this what is called xsl-fo?
Thanks
IL

Hi IL,
XSLT can translate XML to something else. It is most suited to transforming to another tree-like format (XML, HTML, etc.) but can be 'asked' to produce other kinds of output, flat text for example.
It is driven by an XSL file which is a series of patterns to match and output to produce.
This XSL file can be used to generate another XML document in which the nodes come from the Formatting Object namespace. These describe, in generic terms the format of an output document based upon the contents of the original XML.
The formatting object XML document can then be used as input to a formatting object XML processor which can generate PDF output from it.
You may want to check out:
www.w3c.org
for all the stuff on XML, XSL, XSLT, Formatting Objects, etc., and:
xml.apache.org
for imformation on Xalan, which is an XSL processor and FOP, which is a formatting object processor.
Hope that helps,
Peter.

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.

My OS and Java version as follows
Window 2003 server.

Hi,
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

Generate PDF with Draft font

Hi,
I'm generating a report in Oracle with DRAFT 10 CPI font but when I check the PDF file font is diferent, how can I correct this?, Where can I find the DRAFT 10 CPI font ?

As long as the font is on your system and it is licensed for embedding, you need to embed the font in the PDF. That is set within the job.options. Typically the print and press job options will embed all fonts. Standard will embed most. Smallest-file-size embeds no fonts as I recall.

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.
