How to create a multipage PDF with same template but dynamically varying data?

Hello,
I need to create a multi-page PDF where I need to use the same template but dynamically varying data.
Eg Scenario:
1. I have data for 5 material in my ABAP program.
2. I have a PDF template in SFP which has a 2 page structure.
3. Based on the number of materials (5 in this case), I need to generate a PDF which will have 10 pages (2 for each material).
4. the generated PDF should be like the one shown below:
e.g. MATERIAL_PDF (pdf name)
      | Page1(Mat1[View1].data)
      | Page2(Mat1[View2].data)
      | Page3(Mat2[View1].data)
      | Page4(Mat2[View2].data)
      | Page5(Mat3[View1].data)
      | Page6(Mat3[View2].data)
         .. and so on...
Thanks,
Aniket

Isn't it just by setting the two pages into a form ( like an subform in the content ) and put the settings in a proper way?
There is this setting, that the masterpage comes up everytime the pagecount is done.
Example
Page 1 3 5 --> Masterpage 1
Page 2 4 6 --> Masterpage 2
And the designview with the flowing data, you can do it by scripting to get to the next page after the pos is finished.
Unfortunaly I do not got a system atm, so I hope the explaination give you a clue, where to search.

To create 3 diff files with same content but with diff names in same target

Hi SapAll.
i have got a a requirement where pi need to create 3 different files with same content but with different names under same target from a single Idoc.
its an IDOC to 3 File Inteface.
can any body help me in providing the differnt solutions for this without use of any script executions.
will be waiitng for response.
regards.
Varma

> i want to use only one communication channel to produce 3 different file names with same content ,so here i should use only one message mapping in 3 operation mappings .
This is not possible to produce 3 different file names with single CC. You have to use 3 different CCs. unless you have going to use some other trick e.g some script to rename the file etc..
As I suggested in my previous reply use Multi-Mapping Or create 3 different Interface Mappings (by using the same MM).
Note: You have to create 3 different Inbound Message Interfaces (you can use the same Inbound Message Type) otherwise while creating the 3 Interface Determination it won't allow because of same Outbound & Inbound Message Interface. It will simply say Interface alreday exists..
So, just use the Multi-Mapping which is best solution in my opinion, because the benefit of using multi-mapping are:
1. You have to create only single Message Mapping
2. Single Interface Mapping
3. Single Receiver Determination
4. Single Interface Determination
5. 3 Receiver CCs (3 you have to use in any case)
6. Performance wise it is good (read the blog's last 2 para)
7. And last but not the least easy to maintain the scenario.

How to create small size PDFs with reasonable quality images?

Help me Obiwan Adobe!
There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
Thanks

If your PDF will be printed to any kind of quality requirement, it's best to stick with Adobe's own PDF tools for creation and slimming, rather than third-party.
Whatever choices you make for processing multiple PDFs, full Acrobat offers batch operations.
Depending on your clients' needs, you could consider providing several file sizes. For example, a small one with marginal graphic quality for email, and links to larger files of better quality. If bandwidth and download time are issues for clients, perhaps create a link from each marginal-quaity graphic in your small PDF to a single better-quality downloadable graphic.
An option for reducing file size instead of lowering resolution or using lossier compression, is to consider creating images with fewer bits-per-pixel. This would affect color more than detail. Just a thought.

How to create multipage PDF with PS?

I have a 6 pdf pages, and need to create a single pdf with all 6 pages. PS Help states that can create multi page pdf using Generic PDF Files, “Created using the Photoshop Save As command, with Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities deselected in the General section of the Save PDF dialog box.” I did that but never found way to select/choose the 6 generic pdf files I created by deselecting Perserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities.
Is there a way in PS to create a multi-page pdf?

As of CS4, you need to do it in Bridge.

How do I compress a pdf with Create PDF so that I can attach it to e-mail?

How do I compress a pdf with Create PDR so that I can attach it to e-mail?

Hi, Blue Mamba.
Your file is automatically compressed when using the CreatePDF service to convert from some other file type (e.g. Word, Excel) to PDF. For example, most PowerPoint files get compressed 50% to 90% over their original size.
If there is a particular file you're converting to PDF using the CreatePDF service, and you are not seeing the size savings that you would like, please provide more details.
Thanks.

How to view a multipage PDF in the form of a contact sheet?

There are plenty of discussions over how to place a multipage PDF into an InDesign document ONE PAGE PER PAGE. But I fail to find out if there is a way (within a CS2 environment) to place a multipage PDF continuously as "thumbnails" either 1 : 1, or scaled down, filling each page in the document in a way similar to the Data Merge tool, for example - so as to create a contact sheet of the PDF pages.
The only way I see is to place the PDF the usual way, export the document as individual images, and then make a contact sheet using Bridge or Photoshop - which I find rather inconvenient.
Any hint, please?
Thank you, Pataka

In Acrobat Pro print to Adobe PDF.
In the settings for Layout choose for instance
16 pages per paper sheet.
One get's a PDF with one or more new pages,
which can be placed in ID if necessary.
Sometimes that's called printing N-up, here 16-up.

Is it possible to create a tagged pdf with apple pages?

Not sure if possible and any tutorials would be appreciated.

> Is it possible to create a tagged PDF with Apple Pages?
Short answer: No, Apple chose at the introduction of Mac OS X to support only Adobe PDF 1.3 and those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include device-independent transparency, but not those parts of Adobe PDF 1.4 that include Adobe XMP for XML markup of the page description program.
Long answer: Adobe PostScript is a page description programming language, unlike Xerox Interpress which is a page and document description programming language. In other words, Adobe PostScript is a streaming or sequential rendering model that cannot simulate the behaviour of a bound book where the user can turn from any one page to any other page arbitrarily. Adobe introduced Acrobat Distiller in 1993 in order to convert Adobe PostScript page description programs into Adobe PDF page and document description programs that share the same fundamental functionality as Xerox Interpress.
Conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe PDF buys one nothing but page-independent processing. Specifications published by Adobe in 1993 state how the SFNT Spline Font file format used by Apple and Microsoft for Unicode imaging has to be re-encoded into PostScript font program dictionary format (PostScript so-called simple fonts with less than 256 glyphs and PostScript so-called complex fonts (CID fonts) which are simple fonts tiled into a single superfont). All that is left is the glyph identifiers, and per Unicode Specification version 1.0 the glyph identifiers are private and font-dependent, so no character information can be inferred.
ISO 19005:2005 PDF/A is a superset of ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3. The problem with ISO 15930:2002 PDF/X-3 is the same as above, that is, Adobe PostScript cannot encode the file format of the International Color Consortium, which has to be re-encoded to PostScript CSA Color Space Arrays and PostScript CRD Color Rendering Dictionaries. It is possible to encode the ICC file format directly in PDF 1.3 and higher, as specified in ISO 15930 and ISO 19005, but because PDF encodes only the glyph identifiers that are the output of the SFNT file format, and not the UCS Universal Character Set input and the settings for the feature selectors in the font file, ISO 19005:2005 has come under criticism for failing to support search in complex scripts.
ISO 19005:2011 is supposed to address the shortcomings by saving the UCS input into the PDF itself, but in this case it is impossible to use Adobe PostScript and Adobe Acrobat Distiller as intermediates to Adobe PDF. So in order to drive ISO 19005:2011 Adobe would have to ditch Adobe Acrobat. I am not sure if there is software that implements ISO 19005:2011, but I noted that the Apple iBook Store does not accept PDF at all. Personally, I struggle to think of how to explain to endusers the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF formats (there is PDF/E, PDF/UA and whatever else), and the overwhelming number of Adobe ISO PDF versions of these formats (there is ISO 19005:2005, ISO 19005:2011, ISO 15930 all the way back to 1999/2000 in God knows how many versions at this point).

Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are

email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

How to I get multipage pdf file placed in my document to conform to the document that I set up? I have InDesign cc and the pdf pages are placed outside of my document?

Hi Rave,
InDesign cc couldn't open the script, I get an error message that it is not a supported file type. I tried this first before using the "place multipage pdf" in my InDesign document. The script which comes with InDesign cc works, but places the pages outside of the document. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do. I had no trouble doing this in PageMaker 15 years ago. I don't know why it doesn't work on my computer??
Thanks,

How to create an unsolved cube with awm???

hi all,
I readed the "Oracle Olap developer's guide to the Oalp api" and I found there's 2 type of Cube: Solved and Unsolved Cubes. And this document says: "... if all the data for a cube is specified by the DBA, then the cube is considered to be Solved. If some or all of the aggregate data must be calculated by Oracle OLap, then the cube is unsolved ..."
I tried with awm 10.2.0.3.0A to create an unsolvedCube but I can't. All cubes I created are solvedCube. To know if a cube is solved or unsolved, I wrotte an program in Java to read informations of package mtm.
Some one can tell me how to create an unsolved cube with AWM ou other soft please!

SH is not a relational OLAP data model which is quite different from the GLOBAL schema which is based on an Analytic Workspace.
If you change the aggregation method you will need to re-compute the whole cube which can be a very big job! You might be able to force the unsolved status be de-selecting all the levels on the Rules tab in AWM. However, I think by default analytic workspace OLAP models always provide a fully solved cube to the outside world. This is the nature of the multi-dimensional model.
Relationally, as keys are located in separate columns a cube can be unsolved in that the key column only contains values for a single level from the corresponding dimension tables. If more than keys for different levels within the same dimension appear within the fact key column then the cube is deemed as being solved.
Therefore, I am not sure you are going to get the information you require from the API. To changes the aggregation method you will have to switch off all pre-compute options and also disable the session cache to prevent previously calculated data being returned when you change the aggregation method.
Hope this helps

How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module

How to create a Sales order with ref to Contract using Function Module BAPI_SALESDOCU_CREATEFROMDATA ?

We have a unique situation where we like change the sold-to customer of the sales order
once order has been created. These orders have been created using either by function module
BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_COPY or using BDC (VA01, Copy with reference).
These two processes work abosolutely fine except someone might have change the sold-to
customer of the ship-to customer of the original sales order. If this the case then the new
sales order will be created with the old sold-to and with not the new sold-to.
We tried using BAPI_SALESDOCUMENT_CHANGE and commit afterwards. We checked
the returned parameteres of the BAPIs and they are all successful but sold-to remains the
same old one.
Any help would be much more appreciated.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

To create multiple files with same content but with different names

Hi SapAll.
here i have got a tricky situation on Idoc to File Scenario.
in my interface of an Idoc to file ,there is requirement to create multiple files with different file names but with same content based on one Idoc Segment.
which means there will be one Zsegment with two fields in the idoc,where one field with (content refers to the name which file name should start with .so lets say if this segment is repeated for 3 times then PI should create 3 files in the same directory with same content but with different file names (from the filed).
so here for now iam using one reciever file communication channel.
can any body give me the quick answer.
regards.
Varma

What do you mean by different names?
when i make proper setting in the Receiver Channel....on how to create the filename (what to append) like add Timestamp, counter, date, messageid.....even in this case you will ahve file with different names and that too from same File channel.
You can perform multi-mapping in XI/ PI and then your File channel will place the files in the target folder with relevant names. You cannot use Dynamic Configuration with Multi-Mapping!
If you intend to use different File channels, then do the configuration as required (normal)...even over here you can follow multi-mapping.
Do not use a BPM!

Create two logical columns with same LTS mapping but diff filter conditions

Hi,
Problem:
How to create two logical columns within same logical table mapped to same physical column but different filter conditions?
I have a scenario where in,
Physical layer columns
     - table1.employee
     - table1.emp_city
I need a columns in logical layer:
Logical layer - lt1.count_emp_delhi (counts distinct employees whose city_name = 'Delhi')
          lt1.count_emp_mumbai(counts distinct employees whose city_name = 'Mumbai')
My approach:
For Delhi column
1. Create a logical column lt1.count_emp_delhi mapped to the physical column table1.employee
2. Aggregate using countdistinct in aggregate tab.
3. Edit the mapping condition
     3.1. Use the where clause and set table1.emp_city='Delhi'.
For Mumbai column.
Followed the same approach as above but in 3.1 if I change the condition to 'Mumbai', even the delhi column is populated with mumbai count which is ERRONEOUS
Could some one please help?

Hi,
1. Create two alias tables for table1 in Physical Layer. Lets say TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi
2. Create a logical table in BMM layer (D1 Employee Cities )
3. Drag and drop the employee & emp_city columns from both alias tables (TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi ) into your newly created logical table.
4. Now you can see two Logical Table Sources (TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi )
5. Now using Where condition, write the condition on each table
NOTE: Don't write any condition on the Physical table Table1.
Hope it helps you.
