How to generate a pdf file

hi i want to generate a pdf file using a java program, i have a string of xml format i want read the string and get each node of the string then
pass it to generate pdf.how to do this, the problem is if i want to read
xml then i must use org.w3c.dom.Element, but for pdf generation i must use com.lowagie.text.Element , so how to solve this.
please help.
rafel

Well, obviously XML and PDF are two very different kinds of format, and it's up to you how one is going to be mapped into the other. There are at least two PDF APIs available free, but it's not a trivial format to manage.
It's impossible to give you any more advice with the limited information you've supplied.

How to generate a pdf file using javascript?

I would like to generate a pdf file having images in it using javascript. I tried jsPDF but getting some exceptions like
Uncaught ReferenceError: pageWidth is not defined,
fail to load pdf document
Could anyone show me some pointers?
Thank You
Rahul

Here is my code
var myImg=new Image();
myImg.src=arrData['employee'][1]['Image'];
myImg.crossOrigin ="Anonymous";
   var imgData = this.getBase64Image(myImg);
   var doc = new jsPDF();
   doc.setFontSize(40);
   doc.text(35, 25, "Test Image");
   doc.addImage(myImg, 'JPEG', 15, 40, 180, 160);
   doc.save("sample1.pdf");
I'm receiving the following error at 'addImage' function.
Uncaught Error: getJpegSize could not find the size of the image
Could you please help in pointing out where am I going wrong.

How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color.
So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
Oleg

Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

How to generate a PDF output using batch file in 10G

Hello,
I am using .bat file to generate a report PDF output. I have done this many times in 6i but for 10G I am unable to do the same.
Can someone please look at the syntax below and let me know where I am going wrong.
I understand that reports are different for 6i and 10G specially .rep file but I am sure we should be able to generate a PDF file using 10G. Please let me know.
Thanks
IQ
Contents of .bat file follow
ECHO Opening parameter form. Please do not close this window.
C:\
FOR /F "tokens=1 " %%I IN ('time /t') DO (SET _TIME=%%I)
FOR /F "tokens=2 " %%I IN ('date /t') DO (SET _DATE=%%I)
SET EXP_DATE=%_DATE:~6,4%%_DATE:~0,2%%_DATE:~3,2%_%_TIME:~0,2%%_TIME:~3,2%
SET FILENAME=SEND_EMAIL_%EXP_DATE%_%USERNAME%.PDF

RWCONVERTER REPORT=C:\Users\Documents\send_email.rep USERID=scott/tiger@ORCL1 ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=C:\Users\\%FILENAME% PRINTJOB =NO

Rwconverter is not used to run reports:
rwconverter (Reports Converter) enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another.
I think you mean rwrun:
rwrun (Reports Runtime) runs a report by starting its own in-process server (not to be confused with the default in-process Reports Server), which runs in the same JVM as the rwrun process.
This bat file has to run on the server. There is no Reports installation on the client anymore.
If you want to run a report from a client, you can make a bat file that calls the report url

How to generate a pdf form from a webform

HOW TO GENERATE POPULATED PDF?
We used to fill out the forms at work longhand (yes, with a pen!)
Now since we created the form using Acrobat 9 Pro, we just enter the data on computer, and print out the form.
Acrobat 9 form creator was great - I found it quite easy to use.
Now, I'd like to automate the process even further.
Each week we receive response forms from our website (maybe about 20-25). These response forms have about 10 fields that
people have completed with their information.Currently I am printing out the response form and then open up the acrobat form and I enter their information into the pdf (and then print).
1. Is it possible to automatically populate a pdf from the response form ? (without me having to print out the response form and re-enter the data)
2. Is it really complicated; is this something I can do with some software/learning or do i need a programmer?
Thank you kindly for any advice or direction.

It sounds like you are using the forms in your local shop and that e-mail may work fine. If e-mail submission works fine (not recommended for normal use, but find in a controlled environment where you can be sure each e-mail client is running MAPI), then add a submit button to submit a FDF or XML data file (I like FDF when using forms in Acrobat, Designer only uses XML forms). You can then import the FDF or XML data to the form and print it. You can even manipulate the FDF or XML data and add it to a database of some form, furthering your processing even more.

How to generate a PDF 417 Barcode by assigning a dynamic value at runtime?

PDF 417 Barcode Description given in the Livecycle Designer 8.2
: PDF 417 Non-Scriptable Barcode. Value must be assigned to this barcode at design time, and this barcode will not update after form object value changes.
And my question is how to generate a PDF 417 Barcode by assigning a dynamic value at runtime?

All the information you described points to the problem that reports seems can't generate to a file which already exist. You can verify that by simply doing
r30run32 C:\AC_REPORT.REP DESTYPE = FILE DESFORMAT = PDF BATCH = YES' desname=c:\temp\ac_report.pdf
several times. If first time the report is successfully generated in c:\temp\ac_report.pdf, but not the second, third time, then it looks like there is a bug on reports r30run32 executable.
You may try to find any latest patch for Reports 3.0 to see if patch can solve you problem. But keep in mind Reports 3.0 is de-supported, you are better to move to 6i or 9i reports.
Thanks,
-Shaun

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?
