How to generate PDF in Framemaker v11

I made an upgrade from v10 to v11. All books and chapters lokk fine and editing and sving is no problem. Text is entered in FM, illustrations are imported in wmf format.
When using the function "export to PDF" the problem starts.
The program starts to do something. alost imediately the message come ups " program does not respond". The program hangs there forever. The only way to stop FM is through the task manager.
I can see that something has been done, as the FM has started to generate a .tps file.
No error messages are generated.
Anyone with tips or tricks to vercome this issue?

I am working in stand alone mode or off line with local programs and everything on local disks on a laptom under windows7.
I have now done the following different tests.
Start a complete new FM11 document using standart template
Start a new FM11 document anr reusing tmeplates from previous documents.
In alla cases the operation "save as PDF" stops the program and can only be reset through the task manager.
The program creates .tps files, but it was unclear if they are completed or not.
The next test was tu use acrobat distiller and open the .tps file.
Now correct PDF files were generated.
Thank you all for suggestions and help. It is not a nice working enironment, but a workaround to a problem.

How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using JRC ?

Hi,
Good Day !
How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Java Reporting Component (JRC) in desktop (Swing thick-client) ?
My GUI program will generate a RPT report, then i can export to PDF file, this is ok, no problem.
BUT
i want it direct to generate a PDF report, not a RPT report.
The code like below (2 java files)
ClassA.java
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(XXX, 0);
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "XXX", DomainClass.getXXX());
new ReportViewerFrame(reportClientDoc);
// End of ClassA.java
// Begin ReportViewerFrame.java
public class ReportViewerFrame extends JFrame
       //Initial window frame properties.
     private final int XPOS = 80;
     private final int YPOS = 60;
     private final int WIDTH = 760;
     private final int HEIGHT = 550;
     private ReportViewerBean reportViewer = new ReportViewerBean();
     private ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
     public ReportViewerFrame(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws    Exception
          //Initialize frame properties.
          this.setResizable(true);
          this.setLocation(XPOS, YPOS);
          this.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
          this.setTitle("Crystal Report Java Viewer");
          //Add GUI components to the frame including the ReportViewerBean.
          addComponents();
          //Add GUI listeners to the frame.
          addListeners();
          //Set the report that the ReportViewerBean will display.
          this.reportClientDoc = reportClientDoc;
          reportViewer.setReportSource(reportClientDoc.getReportSource());
          reportViewer.init();
          reportViewer.start();
          //Display the frame.
          this.setVisible(true);

Please find a console app that you can extend it to a JFrame app by importing the relevant swing package:

          try {
               //Open report.
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);

How to generate PDF automatically.

Hello,
I am generating INVOICES using REPORTS 6i.
After created the PDF format, I send to the customer by email.
I would like to do this process automatically.
So how can I generate PDF automatically?
There is any pl/sql functionality available to generated PDF automatically.If so how can I generate similar like report 6i format and symbols (Logo).
Pls give me some ideas.
Thanks,Kannan.K

Kannan,
a scheduler is part of Reports, with which you can automate to generate Reports. There's a Queue Manager with your installation. But for this you need Application Server based Reporting - not Client/Server.
Also it's possible to send an PDF-Report as an EMail-attachment directly. Starting with 9i there's also an PL/SQL-API available (Event-based Reporting).

2) Try to do some research on your own, summarise it and state any conclusions you have reached. Ask a specific question and generally, try not to sound so pathetic.

hi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf'

Missing page numbers while generating PDF from Framemaker book

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.
I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.
Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.
I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?
Please advise.

Error7103 wrote:
We have seen a similar problem when the page# was at the right edge of the header or footer frame, and the tab that put it there was too far to the right.
This is an old problem. It comes from setting tab stop positions in paragraph formats with the cursor in the text frame on the TOC reference page. Nothing wrong with this, EXCEPT when the master page text frame has been made narrower than the reference page's text frame. One way to avoid the problem or to fix it, is to set tab stops in a paragraph in the body page text frame, so the width is correct. Another way is to set the tab stops accurately by number, rather than by eye. Visually, the reference page tab stop will look correct, but the generated TOC uses the master page text frame - if it's narrower than the reference frame, this problem occurs.
I seem to remember that this might have been fixed in more recent FM releases, but I think that's a false recovered memory, because this is not a bug, just a discrepancy in measurement. There's no way to expect that the prototype paragraph format on the TOC reference page can know if a tab stop will be out-of-bounds on the generated TOC page.

I am able to generate PDF from Framemaker file but not able to generate pdf from book in robohelp

Hi,
Using robo help i am able to generate pdf from a single framemaker file.
but when i am importing whole book then i am not able to make it.
And also it is not showing any error on console
It goes to hang like situation and i have to close it from task maneger.

Ok, silly question - why are you bothering to try and create PDFs from RH when you've got FM? FM to PDF produces great results; RH to PDF involves having to go through Word - i.e. RH - Word - PDF = too much work IMHO.

How to generate PDF file from HTML file using Acrobat API's

Hi,
I want to generate a PDF file from an HTML file on server side(C# .Net).
Their is a COM interop called "AcrobatWeb2PDF" availaible but could not find any document regarding how to use it.
I cant use "Adobe live cycle PDF Generator" as we just have license for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
Please help...
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Mahadik.

> It is hard to believe that Adobe doesn't provide a toolkit for generating PDF files, so many web based applications have vector based content that needs to be converted to PDF!!!!
They do, it's just not free (A company in business to make money? I'm sure IBM would never think this way... ;)). As mentioned you have Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator, which you can customize and extend with Java. You also have the Adobe PDF Library SDK, which is written for use with C/C++ although if you license it from Datalogics (the only company in NA Adobe allows to license the PDF Library) you will also get .NET and Java interfaces (part of the DLE - DataLogics Extensions).
> There must be a way to generate PDF dynamically on a server or from Javascript!
JavaScript? Not really, no. As far as I'm aware JavaScript has no file system access capabilities without some form of intermediary (like sending the data to a webservice that writes it out to file). How would you create a PDF file with JavaScript?
The PDF Standard is also in ISOs hands now (ISO 32000-1:2008), it is no longer owned by Adobe - you can download a copy of the specification from them and write your own library based on that as well.

How to generate PDF from file with linked images

Hi,
did anybody met/solved problem how to create PDF form file, which contains links to another files/images using PDFGenerator? For example from FrameMaker documents which contains linked images; or from CAD files which contains linked components...
The issue is, that the CreatePDF function moves the source file into a temporary folder, and this operations "brokes" the relative links to linked/included files.

How to generate PDF from an IView

Hi all,
I have been reading a lot about generating PDF document, smart form, adobe LiveCycle Forms, BAPI's..etc. but I can not find anything more simple:
I just would like to show (and maybe save and print) in PDF format (maybe in a popup) an IView content.
I have read how to generate a pdf file from a binary attribute of the Context, but nothing about how to fill this binary attribute with the data of the current showed IView.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,

Hello, Lohitha.
Thanks for your post. You are right, the general way to create a PDF is like that, using Adobe Interactive Forms.
Using this, I must design a form and fill it with data binding. But, in fact, what I'm requested to do is just convert the current IView into a pdf file without using any forms, but keeping the IView design.
Let me explain myself, It could be something similar to convert a .doc file into .pdf.
I tried this code;
     IPrivatePDFComponentView.IContextElement contextElement = wdContext.currentContextElement();
     byte[] bytes = contextElement.getPdfSource(); //here I get bytes = null since PdfSource is empty if I do not use Interactive Forms!!
     try {
          File file = new File("C:\temp\example.pdf");
          FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file);
          os.write(bytes);
          os.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {
          // do something
          e.printStackTrace();
Do you know how could I do that?
Thanks

How to generate PDF using fonts from Extended Font Pack?

Hello
Extended Font Pack, available for download contains MyriadPro-Regular.otf font that has cyrillic glyphs.
I want to generate PDF document with cyrillic unicode data that can refer to the MyriadPro-Regular font resource without embedding font.
Are Extended Font Pack resources CID keyed fonts or not?
Looks like such example of PDF structure allowed me to use it only in ANSI encoding
           'Type':'/Font',
            'Subtype':'/Type1',
             'Name': '/MyriadPro-Regular' ,
            'BaseFont': '/MyriadPro-Regular',
             'Encoding': '/WinAnsiEncoding',
What values should be for `Subtype` and `Encoding` to render cyrillic unicode (UTF-8 encoded) data and use MyriadPro-Regular Open Type downloaded from adobe and installed into local system without embedding it?
Thanks

Sorry for the delay. I admired with investigation of this case.
My aim is to generate PDF docs on web site that have i18ned content. ALso client does not want to deal with any font licenses (font embedding will raise question about font licensing) and to reduce PDF file size with such approach. So I'm looking for the ability to link fonts in PDF source, that can be easiely downloaded from adobe.com and installed into local desktop. With Latin group (en-us, french, german) we can use one of the 14 standard fonts, for CJK - Adobe Asian Font pack. I was considering (Myriad Pro or Minion Pro) font resources from Extended Font pack to cover Cyrillic glyphs. I observed that such fonts are usually installed with Adobe Reader installation (MyriadPro-regular.otf). To render cyrillic glyphs I followed such steps like converted into cp1251 encoding range of the cyrillic unicode data (as you told those fonts do not support unicode encodings the same way as CID keyed asian fonts) and pointed to the Type1 MyriadPro-Regular with custom WinAnsiEncoding. One problem I faced with is - that glyphnames are differrent in diferent Extended Font pack versions. I mean that cyrillic glyphnames for the Adobe Reader 8 started from `afii100xx`, when for the Adobe Reader 9 they are named `uni0xx` for the same font named MyriadPro. I used such glyphnames in the /Differences list in PDF source. How can I generate PDF source that can be viewed successfully in both Adobe Readers version 8 and 9?

How to generate PDF with bookmarks?

Hi,
The business request is to have pdf report with bookmarks. There is no predefined bookmark object in Livecycle Designer/SFP so my idea is to add some scripting to the form to generate bookmarks dynamically. I defined a standard pdf form with several lines of JavaScript embedded. The script is running in the form preview in Livecycle Later I was testing the form by calling its function module and looking at the generated PDF file. Unfortunately it seems there is no script embedded in the final output PDF generated by ADS.
Is Javascript supported in pdf forms? Do I need to perform any additional operations to enable the Javascipt? Do I need to pass additional parameters to ADS? I tested the following settings:
       fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
       fp_docparams-DYNAMIC = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFTAGGED = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFCHANGESRESTRICTED = ' '.
I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi Lata,
May be there is some error in the JavaScript code written.
Sometimes if there is an error in JavaScript then from where the error occurs from there the JavaScript wont work in the Adobe Form.
To check whether JavaScript contains errors or not. You just simply open your Adobe Acrobat Reader goto Edit in that goto Preferences and in that Select "JavaScript" in that you find the JavaScript Debugger there you enable "Show Console on errors and messages".
This may help you in some way or the other.
