Help with PDF Generation

We are currently evaluating LiveCycle ES to potentially convert numerous Pro/E 3D drawings to PDF. Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding the proper resources to help achieve this. What we would like the process to do is:
1) Take a Pro/E file, and apply a forms template
2) Add an "Exploded View" animation for the 3D drawing (such as what can be generated by Adobe 3D Reviewer)
3) Expose the "Bill of Material" to the template fields
4) Save the generated PDF to a defined folder
5) Perform these steps for a "watched folder" for when new drawings are submitted
In LiveCycle Workbench, I have been able to read a Pro/E file and apply our template. But I cannot find information on how to achieve the other steps.
Could somebody please point me to specific resources and/or samples that would help with this? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
If I'm understanding you correctly, option 1 probably won't work for this situation, because we're working with existing ProE drawings -- hundreds, if not thousands, of them. So, they don't want to go back and add the exploded view. Unless you're saying that we could use javaScript to generate the exploded view and BOM from the ProE files?
Do you know of an example (or other resource) that describes either of the options you outlined? Could you explain a little more?
Thanks again!

PDF generation : FileNotFoundException problem

Hi all,
I'm developing a dynamic PDF generation module in web application using iText framework. This module creates PDF on the server side then sends it to the client. Sometimes, Even though the PDF file is created on the hard disk, I got FileNotFoundException when calling the servlet that sends it.
My program is very simple (no thread used) :
1- The client calls enters some inputs,
2 - The iText based class generates the PDF,
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).
4 - The request is redirected to servlet that sends the PDF.
What could be the problem ?
thx,

In fact, I don't know what you mean by:
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).What do you mean by this? Did you save the proprietry PDF object? Or the java.io.File object? If it is the PDF object, does its class implement java.io.Serializable?
Um ... Here are some suggestions ...
First of all, make sure that the file really exists there.
Secondly, try to write a Java SE program to read the file using the absolute path you provided.
Then, if the Java SE program works, I think the reason may be that you haven't closed the "OutputStream" which writes the PDF file, or the security settings of your JSPServer prevents you from getting the file.

Dynamic HTML generation from a Dynamic PDF/XDP

I was wondering if LiveCycle is able to generate a dynamic HTML page from a dynamic XDP/PDF form in LiveCycle ES ?
I have read up on the help contents regarding HTML generation from PDF forms but its not mentioned anywhere whether LiveCycle supports the creation of an HTML page that mimics the dynamic behavior of a dynamic PDF/XDP form.
Thanks in advance

Yes it does ....

HELP ME PLEASE !!! dynamic pdf with table grows each time it's saved and reopened??? HELP PLEASE !

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I created a form (dynamic pdf) with Livecycle ES 8.2.
This document has a table in which rows are added when the user clicks on a button.
The document in design stage takes up no more than 1/2 an A4. Here are my two problems;
1. When the document is opened in Reader (9.3) it is all formatted correctly accept the one row, in it's default state (which can be added to by clicking button) is now three rows????
2. Whether the two extra rows are deleted or filled in or whether more rows are added and filled in, if the document is saved and opened again with reader it has grown to a full page (of empty default rows). If saved again, it grows to 4 pages and so on.
Can somebody please help me. I can supply a copy of my file if necessary.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but the document is protected with a password to open in Livecycle and it also has user rights assigned for the user to be able to save a copy on their local machine (not just allowed to fill out and print).
My email is [email protected]
Would appreciate any help that can be offered. My document is ready (accept for this issue) for me to use in my job.
Regards
Bradd

Bradd,
Please forward the form and I can take a look. If you want to forward a version of the form that is not password protected or send the password in a separate email, that is up to you.

Help: PDF Generation Problems in Reports 3.0

Hi Techies,
We are generating PDFs from Oracle Reports 3.0
The PDF generation is fine in some datbases.
But in some database,when the records are more, during PDF
generation, Dr.Watson error is encountered, saying access
violation.
Can any one please clarify whether the error is due to memory
constraints on the system or if it has something to do with
Oracle Reports setting, while generating PDFs.
Do note that the reports are running fine, when the report has
less number of records.
Any suggestion/tip is awaited at the earliest.
Thanks in advance,
Geoff

PDF Generation with LiveCycle Data Services

Hi everybody!
I am using LiveCycle Data Services to generate a dynamic pdf. I worked with this tutorial : livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/lcds/pdfgen_1.html and i adapted the code to my own example.
I created a pdf template with livecycle designer and i succeed to generate the pdf thanks to LiveCycle Data Services.
Here is my problem :
In LiveCycle Designer i create a table and bind my data connection (from xml source) to this table and i bind subforms to repeating data.
It works when i try to open an overview of the pdf with LiveCycleDesigner.
But when i try to generate the pdf with livecycle data service, there is no repeat of my data. There is only a number of items corresponding to the minimum of repeating i set in livecycle designer binding window...
Is it possible to generate repeating data with LiveCycle DS ?
an example of my xml source :
<item id="1">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
<item id="2">
<data>blabla</data>
</item>
In livecycle designer, if i set the minimum of repeating to 1, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only one item.
if i set the minimum of repeating to 2, LiveCycle DS generate a pdf with only 2 items. etc.
I don't know how to generate an indeterminate number of items...
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bye
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
there is no limitation. Dynamic PDF files can be generated with Livecycle Data Services.
You should have a look at the XML file generated by your Flex code. Try to save it and see how the XML file behaves when you generate a PDF preview with Designer. You can go to the menu: File > Properties > Preview > Use XML test data...
With the XFAHelper class, you can either load a PDF or a XDP file. Have you tried with a XDP ?
I've attached a dynamic PDF file that I've created for a customer. I generate a dynamic PDF file using LiveCycle Data Services. Maybe you'll find some clues within the file.

APEX 4.1 - APACHE FOP PDF generation problem.

Hi all,
I'm having problem with PDF generation using APACH FOP on OC4J.
When I test my print server as described here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/heres-another-posting-on-pdf-printing.html
everything works without problem. But when I upload my Layout to APEX and try to generate PDF from apex I'm getting error:

I could see similar post here:
Handling Special characters in call to apex_util.download_print_document
But it doesn't explain my case as it's crashing even when I generate empty pdf(no data so no special characters, only empty XML file with no data should be sent to print server)
Is there any way to see what xml is sent do print server for processing? That could eventually show where is a problem.
Palo

My mistake, there was really an "&" character in my template. now when I replaced it with %26 it works.
However I would be still interested if there is a way to see what data is APEX engine sending to print server cause it will help me to find this kind of errors.

Dynamic PDF document. (adding pages in between from time to time)

hi,
I am working on a catalogue that will be expanded from time to time.
On this catalogue there will be a couple of content pages that have hyperlinks link to the proper pages. If I add pages at the end of the this catalogue, hyperlinks will not get affected.
However, if I want to include pages inbetween this will bring the whole content page refering to the wrong pages. For example: on content page; apple - page 10 goes to page 10.
If you add 5 more pages after for example page 5. Now, on content page; apple - page 10 still goes to page 10, but should in fact goes to page15.
So the question is, is there ways where the links automatically goes to the right pages; Where the links automatically changes to refer page 15?
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Hi All,
Thanks for responding. I am new here.
Let me explain how I did my hyperlinks.
I create hyperlink destinations and on the index page I look up this page. As I understand this is not the best method in my case, however, this was not the requirement before.
What do you think is the best method for creating a dynamic pdf exported from indesign, which should have (or closely have) the following requirements:
have index page which will go to the proper page (eg. you click on "apple page10" on index page and this will go to page 10)
you can add pages in between anywhere in the future where links and page numbering on the index page changes automatically (eg. if you add 5 more page about pear after page 5, "apple page 10" should now go to page 15 and on the index page should automatically changed to page 15 as well.
of course, changes should automatically be adjusted not only by adding but also by deleting.
Any ideas is welcom and appreciated, thanks.

Problems with dynamic PDF display in reader 8.1.0

I have created a dynamic PDF Form having 30 text fields in a row. All these fields are bounded to XSD. The design is like, a row of fields display a single user informations. When I import a XML with 100 user informations, then my PDF crashes. If I import a XML with 50 user informations, then it works fine. Anything beyond that count causes the PDF to close automatically. I believe, its the number of fields which causes the problem. I may be wrong.
I also needs to enter 100 user informations by adding rows one by one. The PDF becomes very slower when I add beyond 35th row. I'm using Livecycle designer 8.0 for designing dynamic PDFs and using Adobe reader 8.1.0 for viewing.
Can anyone help me on this?

Hi,
I figured our there was a setting to enable/disable Javascript which caused this issue.
I was using javascript in the LC 8 for manipulations in the dynamic pdfs.
I enabled the javascript and now it is working fine.

Why can't I open a dynamic PDF?

I can open a regular PDF, even though it's a larger file than the dynamic PDF. I'm trying to open the dynamic IEP and ETR files from this site: Ohio Required and Optional Forms | Ohio Department of Education. Can anyone else? Is it the site? Can anyone open it on an iPad using iOS8? I *just* bought this iPad to WORK on, and can't!!! I've tried to open both files in Evernote, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Still no joy. Please help me!!

Unfortunately no. Not for iOS at any rate. You would need to use a different machine.
That is the fault of the folks that made these forms. It's documented that this isn't an acceptable workflow and suggested that if they want to target people using tablets (iPad or Android), they need to be rendered as HTML mobile forms.

PDF generation in VC

Hi everybody,
I need to develop a wizard-like application which ends generating a pdf non-interactive form (i.e. list of class students).
I would like to use as less coding as possible, so I'm using Visual Composer for the selection steps.
However the last step should provide the pdf generation and I actually don't know how to integrate these two technologies.
I know that WDP java provides Adobe Forms natively, but WDP integration with VC is somewhat hard and uncertain, as other sdn posts show, especially when flex is used.
Can anyone provide help, experiences or example with regard to pdf generation with Visual Composer?
Thanks
Point will be awarded
