Gif images in pdf file generated from Reports 6i

Hello,
When I generate pdf file from Reports Builder 6i and open this file with Acrobat Reader 5.0 I get that some of my gifs are black or other color.
When I generate the same report to the live previewer everything is OK.
Is it a Reports 6i bug? Any workarounds?

Empty CreatorDate field in PDF files generated by Report 6i on Windows 7

When generating a PDF file from Reports 6i on Windows 7, the CreatorDate in the PDF file header is empty.
Even worse: its opening parenthesis "(" is not closed. See example here below.
This generates several problems with Adobe Reader 10 like:
- text searching does not work although you can select text and do a copy paste,
- File/Properties does not work (nothing happens when selecting this menu item),
- File/Save As PDF generates the Adobe Reader error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)."
We do not have this issue with Windows XP.
Any idea?

/CreatorDate ( <---- here is the error: missing value and missing ")"

As you probably know, Developer 6i is not supported on Windows 7. Search the Forms and Reports forums for tips like:

Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

Hi all,
We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment.
For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks and Regards,

Get/Save PDF file generated by Reports.

How can I get the temporary .pdf file stored in the cache by Reports Server when, there is a request for a report?
When the a request to view output as PDF file? Reports server stores the output PDF file in the server cache but generates bogus alphanumeric files. Is there a way I can save it myself so that I can capture that file for future use. or maybe a Reports API?

When it appears in the browser you could use "Save As" to save it locally.

Not possible to open PDF file generated by Report functionality

Hello,
we are facing the problem that reports in PDF format deliverd in SharePoint by Duet Enterprise cannot be opened by Adobe Reader. The error we get is the following:
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.pdf" because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
When trying to open it with Internet Explorer the following error message pops up:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Sven

Hi Hi Sven,
Could you please tell me the type of report you were trying execute? Is it ERP or BW? And ALV or non-ALV?
We are supporting PDF report output type only for BW reports and for ERP non-AVL reports. For other types PDF format is not supported.
If you configure PDF for other report types then you will get report output in PDF file in SharePoint server, but you will face above error message while opening the file.

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server

I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?

Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.

Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
Any idea what happen there???
Thanks a lot

"Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

Wrong PDF file generated from FM 10 book

Sometimes when I generate a PDF from a FrameMaker 10 unstructured book, the generated PDF overwrites an existing file with a totally different name and location. After I try a few times without changing anything, it finally does it right. Any ideas?

If you really want to get to the bottom of what's grabbing and overwriting(?) your files, you could use Microsoft's Sysinternals Process Monitor (Procmon) available from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
You can configure the filters to watch what's going on in a folder or on a file, but it's a bit geeky to setup all the filters - it also logs a ton of data, so interpreting it or tracking down an event could also be tedious. If you have an IT department, they should be consulted and could help set this up.
Here is an article that details how to set up the Process Monitor to watch specific files:
http://www.veryant.com/support/phpkb/question.php?ID=136
Otherwise, just run Distiller with the Ask setting, to see if something odd is happening at this stage. If you're still getting mysterious deletions, then dig deeper with the Process Monitor.

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

The steps done from Application server in command line :
- First I tested with several values for the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT : file size stays the same or increases.
- Second I tested with parameter PDFCOMP (for PDF compression) with varying values from 0 to 9 : file size stays the same.

Any tricks to store pdf file generated via jasper to oracle tables.

i need to generate pdf file ..for records in a cursor..
So i use jasper integration kit ... to accomplish the same...
issue is .. i need to press a button and then pdfs file shoudl be generated...and stored in a table as a blob..My process does this..
But since the process can be fired only on condition. on load before header...
The result is i get my pdf file generated and stored in table ..but the page is a blank page..seems like it is some jasper page..
http://127.0.0.1:82/apex/f?p=132:267:3324851978466855::::: The page looks empty...I will not want it to look empty...
i will like after pressing a button immediatley it shows a page processing and when processing is done... it shifts to other page...
I am putting the part of code which generates the pdf file ...any guidance or help shall be appreciated..
So i hope you understood the issue..*Issue is when button is pressed i see a blank page..THough the below process is fired pdf file genrated and stored in oracle tables..as blob.. I will like instead of blank page it displays me some othe page..say like processing and once done it shoudl say processing complete..*
Any guidance will be kindly appreciated..
Thanks paul johny
Below you will see the stored procedure i use..to generate the pdf files...
create or replace procedure lordslave is

All you need to do - is that you should use the column data type as Long Raw.Why would you recommend using LONG RAW which has been deprecated in favour of BLOB for years?
You can find a simple example of inserting a file into a BLOB column using JDBC here. The Oracle JDBC docs are also worth a read. Find out more.

Where is a PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?

Hi,
In BIEE11g, I created an Agent for scheduling to generate PDF files from Analysis.
In tab: "Delivery Content", I choose PDF in field "Format", and BIEE will automatically chooise option "Deliver as attachment".
At the same time, in tab: "Destinations", I just choose "Home Page and Dashboard" for field: "User Destinations".
After scheduling time, an Alert is generated, and there is data and graph embedded in the content of the Alert. However, I don't find any URL for downloading PDF file. I want to make use of BIEE Agent that so that I can keep snapshot data for the report.
Anyone know where where is the PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?
Thanks

A nice way to achieve this is to export the reports to the server's filesystem using the Actions tab > Invoke Server Script. On a Windows server you can write a little VBScript or Javascript and pass it the PDF file which then gets saved to disk. I have some code if you are interested - contact me via my blog.
