Tomcat/Cocoon/APEX PDF printing. Another issue

Hi All,
I am trying to implement my own custom report layout for the following simple Report query
select e.DEPTNO, d.DNAME, d.LOC, e.ENAME, e.JOB
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
The steps are the following
1. Create Report Query
2. Download XML file
3. Use Stylus Studio to create XSL-FO (XSLT 2.0) based on XML data downloaded in
previous step.
4. Go back to Report query and upload XSL-FO file to APEX (layout name 'MyLayout' is also specified).
Finish Report Query creation
5. Enter Report Query again, select report layout 'MyLayout' and select Test Report
The result is a failure with some java cocoon exception:
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Unknown request object encountered named template : null
Cocoon stacktrace[hide]
Exception in StreamGenerator.generate() context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 17:32 <map:serialize type="xml">
context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 13:33 <map:generate type="stream">
Unable to get transformer handler for cocoon://fop_post/xsl context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 38:37 <map:serialize type="fo2pdf">

context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 30:38 <map:generate>
context://sitemap.xmap - 1034:92 <map:mount>
It seems to me that XSL-FO that I created for this layout is rejected somehow by APEX and not passed to Coccon at all.
Guys, what am I doing wrong ? I will appreciate any help.

Vadim

Hi Mike,
My standard printing is working nicely. That's the custom reporting that I experience problems with.
After 8 hours of googling and 4 cups of coffee I figured out where the problem was. When you define XSL-FO file you need to 'escape' every occurence of % sign. For example you cannot define width= "100%" because APEX will pass this unchanged to Tomcat and Tomcat in turn will reject this but still passing NULL template pointer to Cocoon. Taking into consideration very poor logging capabilities one can spend hours trying to fugure out what is hapenning. APEX should be smart enough to escape characters or at least there should be a doco somewhere listing the rules you need to follow whem creating FO stylesheets.
I must admit that the whole APEX PDF printing using Tomcat/Cocoon (and probably Fop because that's what used by Cocoon behind the scene anyway) is unfortunately a hack. Reporting does not have to be that complex.
I would be extremely grateful if somebody can tell me what sort of XML tool is best suited to generate XSL-FO files that can be easily understood by APEX/Tomcat/Cocoon.

Vadim

How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms

Otto Gold at the forum "SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe" gave me the tip that Sandra Rossi in this forum might help me out. Here is the link to my original thread How to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms
My question was:
Hi Experts!
Did anyone of you manage to enable frontend printing using Adobe Print Forms? In order to save administration effort we use frontend printing in our ERP system. We just changed some SMARTFORMS to the new Adobe Forms technology. Now we learned that direct frontend printing does not work with these forms.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gerald

I think you'll be disappointed by a rather negative answer but I'll try to explain everything I know (or think I know) the best I can
The simplest solution is to do a preview, and print from Adobe Reader! (as I could see on one project, users have to display one more dialog than usually to print) It's the best workaround according to me.
How Adobe form printing works:
When you print an Adobe form from SAP, a printer language (PCL, PS, ZPL, PDF) is retrieved from TSP0B table according to the device type, ADS (Adobe Document Services, installed in the SAP java stack) is then contacted to generate the form: a file corresponding to the printer language is generated and sent back to SAP (there are also 2 other little files but it's of none interest here). SAP stores it as a file (named SPOOL...) in the global directory (DIR_GLOBAL when you use AL11 transaction).
When you ask SAP to print it, it sends the file as is to the printer.
Note: when you ask SAP to display the spool, SAP sends a request to ADS which will send back a PDF (binary stream which is not stored on disk, just displayed on frontend).
How frontend printing works:
If you want to print a normal spool via frontend, SAP doesn't know the language of the printer you will choose. SAP sends the spool in a format named SAPWIN to a frontend program named SAPLPD, it converts the SAPWIN format into GDI, a Windows format that is understood by all printer drivers, and it is sent to the printer driver (you have selected) which converts the GDI format into the printer language.
Any workaround?
First possibility would be that ADS converts the PDF into SAPWIN format (by creating an Adobe .XDC file at the ADS side). SAP says it's not possible in Note 685571 - Printing PDF-based forms. As I understand, SAPWIN is a very simple language compared to PCL for example, so it is very difficult to convert a PDF to SAPWIN without losing much information. There's a SAP note about the SAPWIN language if you want to check.
Second possibility is to print directly the PDF through Adobe Reader: you get the PDF from ADS, download it to the frontend (easy), and execute directly Adobe Reader print function. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's possible. Moreover, we should enhance the standard SAP print dialog...
Third possibility is the one I recommended at the beginning of this post

How to enable the print & archive button that appear in the smartform outpu

How to enable the print & archive button that appear in the smartform output.....

Hi,
I agree with the details which has been given above, but still if you want to default option 3 "Print & Archive" in drop down, it is possible.
All you need to do is to set the value of output_options structure field "TDARMOD" as "3" while passing the parameters to dynamic function module of smartform.
That will select "Print and Archive" in background and display to user.

EBiz 11i Integration and Printing with TOMCAT/COCOON

Hi,
I have successfully set up a TOMCAT/COCOON printing environment on a Red Hat LINUX server. I am able to produce PDF's from all of my APEX applications with the exception of those defined in our 11i (11.5.0) eBusiness application.
I use the exact same settings in all instance settings. All run under AIX 5.3 and all can see (ping) the print server. Similarly the print server can see (ping) all of the APEX servers.
However, trying to produce a PDF from an APEX installation hosted in our eBusiness environments (either from within or outide of the eBusiness application) results in the dreaded HTTP 404 Not Found error.
Is there something else I need to consider when trying to use a print engine on another server when called from an eBusiness database/application server?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi David,
Thanks for the feedback. We are on 10gR2 database, but I re-checked logs to include the error_log_pls file as well as error_log!
In the error_log_pls I see oracle error ORA-22293. As you may know 11i uses 9iAS by default, and associated Apache. I had made use of the installed Apache in the IAS_ORACLE_HOME. Thanks to your pointer, I have seen suggestions that the issue may be resolved by making use of Apache that comes with 10g. My concern here would be that the seamless integration I have between APEX and 11i (printing aside) will be compromised - the entries I use in defining the function within 11i may need to change.
I will install Apache from 10g and see what transpires.
As an aside, I do have a lot of dealings with Oracle Support and I wouldnt necessarily share unqualified endorsement of their capabilities :) . I didnt raise an SR this time because I had figured there was some issue with Cocoon and the 11i server rather than with the Oracle software itself. Maybe I was wrong!
I will update when I have further information.
Thanks again.

How to restrict pdf printing on a condition

Hello,
We generate the pdf and distribute it to the user immediately. I've a business requirement to allow the user to print the pdf a maximum of 3 times. I was able to add the javascript to the pdf to make a webservice call that would keep a track of prints(by getting the pdf blessed by the livecycle readerextensions). Now, I've two questions :
1.How can I disable printing on the pdf document when max number of reprints is reached?
2.The pdf throws security warning when it makes the webservice call. Is there anyway to supress it?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Feroz.

How to reinstall PDF Printer in Print & Scan window on OSX 10.8.2

Hello,
I was having issues where PDF's were not saving when I was printing them, so I thought that if I deleted the PDF printer from my list of printers and reinstalled it, my problem would be solved. Now I can't figure out how to reinstall (add) the PDF printer back into this window. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, and I have been searching the web for about an hour.
I am running OSX 10.8.2
I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed
I am on an iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
32 GB of RAM
Thanks for any help you have.

PDF Printing Limitations FOP & Cocoon?

Iam trying to export a report with more than 500 rows into a pdf.
Iam using fop + cocoon and the pdf is broken with more than 500 rows.
Are there any limitations when exporting to pdf?
Iam using cocoon-2.1.11
and tomcat 5.5
Does anyone knows whether apex itself makes the limitations or cocoon/fop?
Is there any possibilty to export only the shown rows? (the result has 500 rows, but it shows only the first 200, can i export these first 200?)

Hello,
We have produced reports with way more than those numbers of rows so I don't think that is the problem.
Are you sure there's no potential issues with the data itself? Try exporting the XML for the report query and looking through to see if you have any potentially problematic characters in there.

How to install PDF printer to Adobe Reader?

I've created a form that will be sent to my colleagues to fill out. Once they fill it out, they will need to save the form as a read-only pdf and send it to our clients.
I understand, after reading a lots of threads in this forum, the best way would be to have my colleagues to open the form(s) in Acrobat and then print to a PDF. This will allow them to create a static copy of the form, which will not have any fields or access to change the data. My question is if this is possible for them as they have Adobe Reader 8, 9 & X? If yes, how do they install the PDF printer?

How do install pdf printer?

I cannot follow the instructions to install a pdf printer because there is no printer download setup feature available on the adobe.com web site.

Hi belliotriehm,
Are you on Mac OS or Windows? The Adobe PDF Desktop Printer is only available on Windows.
If you are on Windows, you can find the link to download by logging on the https://cloud.acrobat.com, and clicking the Create PDF link.
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Best,

How to modify PDF print template in Portal..

Hi,
   we are running BI and Portal (NW 7.0, SP14).
    In the portal we enables the BI queries printing in PDF, but as far we use standard web template.
    Now i copied the web template and want to add new Fields to the PDF document, such as like Query Name, User, System and customer Logo.
   I was able to add web text items with the required field to the customer web template, but i was not able to see these fields when printing the document...
    Please provide me with step for step describtion on how to add new fields to the PDF export or how should i proceed...??
Many Thanks,
Nazih

Hello,
   many thanks for your help.
1. I have added to the web template three new "TEXT_ITEM" elements with Date, QueryName, etc.
2. then i have added this "text web items" to the PDF-pring command -> Data binding as you have advices.
Here is the Result of the XHTML File:
<bi:EXPORT xmlns:bi="http://xml.sap.com/2005/01/bi/wad/bisp">
<bi:TEMPLATE value="Z_0ANALYSIS_PATTERN">
</bi:TEMPLATE>
<bi:ITEM_REF_LIST type="UNORDEREDLIST">
    <bi:ITEM_REF index="2" value="TEXT_ITEM_1">
    </bi:ITEM_REF>
    <bi:ITEM_REF index="3" value="TEXT_ITEM_2">
    </bi:ITEM_REF>
    <bi:ITEM_REF index="4" value="TEXT_ITEM_3">
    </bi:ITEM_REF>
</bi:ITEM_REF_LIST>
<bi:REPEAT_HEADER value="">
</bi:REPEAT_HEADER>
<bi:SHOW_EXPORT_DIALOG value="X">
</bi:SHOW_EXPORT_DIALOG>
<bi:REPEAT_KEYCOL value="">
</bi:REPEAT_KEYCOL>
</bi:EXPORT>
- Now the Issue is i cannot see these web items in my PDF document when i export the query as PDF...??? the PDF-document is empty...??
*- and Any Idea how can i add an Image-object (Logo) to the PDF document too..??*
Many Thanks again,
Nazih
