I don't understand the logic of what you are trying to do, but anytime code doesn't do what you expect, the first place to start looking is at any errors that are being generated - which you aren't collecting or displaying...

No.

Veiwing a PDf using Activex Direct to stage

I'm new to Director, and to the scripting side especially. I have managed to complete all of my project except for when I get to a point I need to be able to have the users click on a button and have a PDF load in the PDF's Activex sprite. This is the code I have attached to the button:
on mouseup
     sprite(17).src = the moviePath &"OSME.pdf"
end
When they click on the button, nothing happens, any ideas on why this wouldnt be loading?
Thanks!
Tim

You shouldn't have to do anything with the AX sprite to make it work (assuming it implements a src property). I assume you have a copy of Buddy API for your platform already - if not, grab it from here. To install it you need to place it in the folder named Xtras inside the folder your authoring application is installed. You must be on Windows to be running AX controls, so you should put it in the 'Adobe Director 11\Configuration\Xtras\Scripting\' folder. Restart Director and the xtra should be available. To test that it's installed properly you could check the Scripting Xtras drop-down list in either your message window or a script window (it's the menu with an xtra icon) - you should see an entry for BudAPI.
Now alter your script like so:
on mouseUp
tPath = the moviePath & "OSME.pdf"
if baFileExists(tPath) then
    sprite(17).src = tPath
else
    alert "File not found:" && tPath
end if
end
Sorry, I can't seem to view your attachment - how do I access it?

HTML to PDF Conversion in Linux env

Dear all,
Do you have any idea how to convert HTML to PDF using java in Linux environment.
Thanks
SS

HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
xls --> pdf, html, csv
ppt --> pdf, swf
Code example:
import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
// suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
f.convert(fos,"pdf");

earlier reply is highly appreciated
Thanks & Regards

The URL for the WSDL is:
http://{yourServer}:{yourPort}/soap/services/GeneratePDFService?wsdl&lc_version=9.0.0
where {yourServer} is the name of your LiveCycle server (eg localhost) and {yourPort} is that server's port (eg 8080)

Using PD4ML library for convertin HTML to PDF

Hi all
i am using API s from PD4ML library for converting HTML to PDF.
what i am sending via HTML is a single HTML table.but the problem is i need to identify the number of lines which i need to give for single PDF page for the case when HTML table is too large to fit into single page.i can decide the number of lines before hand like 31 for portrait and 52 for landscape.but in this case problem arises when page size is too large.for eg page size is A1 and i have specified number of lines as 31.
In this case lot of empty space is left at the end of page.
so i actually need to calculate NUMBER OF LINES for single page as a FUNCTION of PAGE SIZE and FONT SIZE . font size because it also affects the number of lines that fit into single page.
would be really grateful if u guys can help fast

#1 There are definite copyright issues with your
software. Before you go live with anything like this,
make sure you're not gonna get reamed.Ehh? I didn't see anything from the OP's question that implied this. Yes, if he uses it to mine commercial web sites and convert them to PDF's there's a problem, but aside from that, where's the danger?
#2 The PDF part is the easy part. As the other poster
said, lowagie iText can do PDF. The rendered HTML is
a much bigger question. The smaller issue is that web
pages are defined to fit your browser window, so
you've got to choose a size. The much tougher problem
is finding a decent HTML renderer in Java. In truth,
I don't think there is one; JEditorPane is a piece of
****, and opera is really not a lot better. Not at all. The OP specifically mentioned web services, so we don't need to assume that Swing is involved. You can, using a 3rd party library (google for java pdf), have a servlet or jsp render its output as a PDF document.

How do you create a pdf file by using ActiveX?

Is there a way that you could use activeX to write the data into pdf file? If so, do you have to have Adobe Writer install?
thank

hello
you could generate a report using the report - VIs (gives you opportunity to add headers, footers, tables etc.) and print the report to a PDF - Printer (e.g. FreePDF). No ActiveX or Adobe Writer needed.

How create pdf using HTML+PHP+FDF

Hi! Some time ago I wanted to prevent my pdf file of distribution (copy) to other computers. It turned out that this is impossible (without DRM). Thus I came up with the idea - to generate pdf using HTML+PHP+FDF. I created a PDF template using Acrobat Pro. Access to the site with a generator forms will be payable.
I want to do this:
1. the customer fills out a form on the page
2. Customer clicks the "Generate" and then opens a pdf file in the browser ready for printing
3. Can I in this situation protect the file that a client could not change the form data?
If the file after generating the client will be able to download the file to your hard disk and write data to a form - this is no security. Is it possible (after generating) automatically protect a file against modification?
Sincerely
Matthew from Poland
PS. I'm sorry for my english:)

If the file after generating the client will be able to download the file to your hard disk and write data to a form - this is no security. Is it possible (after generating) automatically protect a file against modification?
This is not possible with FDF and PDF template.

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Tall report in both HTML and PDF

Hi,
I have a report in 10.1.2.0.2 with three logical parts; a header (logo, column titles), a body (actual data) and footer (column sums, some texts). At the moment I'm just using the main section (not header/trailer) but I'm willing to change.
Depending on the parameters the report will give 1-20 pages (if I was to print them) of output.
I would like to offer both HTML and PDF output but I'm having some issues.
If I set the height of the main section to 25 centimeters/10 inches and run the reports with parameters that produce 2 pages of output, I will get two pages i the PDF perfectly. The HTML will then get a seam (empty row) after 25cm/10In and then continue. The problem is that the second part of data is in a separate html table, making the columns not aligned to the first part.
So, PDF OK, HTML ugly.
If I set the height of the main section to 250 centimeters/100 inches and run the report again the HTML is fine. One long table and therefore consistent columns.
Now the PDF consists of only one page. It looks fine but after the last row I can scroll down much more as the PDF "page" is really tall now.
So, PDF ugly, HTML OK.
Any suggestions for acheiving a nice result in both PDF and HTML?
Kind regards
Tomas Albinsson
Stockholm, Sweden

Many thanks Denis, worked perfectly!
Now the customer has decided that they want the header on each page...
So now I don't need to use your solution but it's good to know how to solve it.
Fortunately (?) I've got a new problem now.
If the output spans two pages I now get one head, the first part of data, head again, rest of data and foot. Fine.
The problem is that the columns of head and data on page two are not aligned with the ones on page one.
So head and data always align, but only withing the page. Page two might be much wider than page one.
This is is HTML output and the frames are set to horizontally fixed.
Seems to be the footer. Didn't help putting it in a horizontally fixed frame of it's own.
Suggestions?
Kind regards
Tomas

Generate PDF using Managed Bean with custom HTTP headers

Background
Generate a report in various formats (e.g., PDF, delimited, Excel, HTML, etc.) using JDeveloper 11g Release 2 (11.1.2.3.0) upon clicking an af:commandButton. See also the StackOverflow version of this question:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/13654625/59087
Problem
HTTP headers are being sent twice: once by the framework and once by a bean.
Source Code
The source code includes:
- Button Action
- Managed Bean
- Task Flow
Button Action
The button action:
<af:commandButton text="Report" id="submitReport" action="Execute" />
Managed Bean
The Managed Bean is fairly complex. The code to `responseComplete` is getting called, however it does not seem to be called sufficiently early to prevent the application framework from writing the HTTP headers.
HTTP Response Header Override
* Sets the HTTP headers required to indicate to the browser that the
* report is to be downloaded (rather than displayed in the current
* window).
protected void setDownloadHeaders() {
HttpServletResponse response = getServletResponse();
response.setHeader( "Content-Description", getContentDescription() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Disposition", "attachment, filename="
+ getFilename() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Type", getContentType() );
response.setHeader( "Content-Transfer-Encoding",
getContentTransferEncoding() );
Issue Response Complete
The bean indirectly tells the framework that the response is handled (by the bean):
getFacesContext().responseComplete();
Bean Run and Configure
public void run() {
try {
Report report = getReport();
configure(report.getParameters());
report.run();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private void configure(Parameters p) {
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PROTOCOL, "http");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_HOST, "localhost");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PORT, "7002");
p.put(ReportImpl.SYSTEM_REPORT_PATH, "/reports/rwservlet");
p.put(Parameters.PARAM_REPORT_FORMAT, "pdf");
p.put("report_cmdkey", getReportName());
p.put("report_ORACLE_1", getReportDestinationType());
p.put("report_ORACLE_2", getReportDestinationFormat());
Task Flow
The Task Flow calls Execute, which refers to the bean's `run()` method:
entry -> main -> Execute -> ReportBeanRun
Where:
<method-call id="ReportBeanRun">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>Execute Report</display-name>
<method>#{reportBean.run}</method>
<outcome>
<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
The bean is assigned to the `request` scope, with a few managed properties:
<control-flow-rule id="__3">
<from-activity-id>main</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="ExecuteReport">
<from-outcome>Execute</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>ReportBeanRun</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
<managed-bean id="ReportBean">
<description>Executes a report</description>
<display-name>ReportBean</display-name>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
The `<fixed-outcome>success</fixed-outcome>` strikes me as incorrect -- I don't want the method call to return to another task.
Restrictions
The report server receives requests from the web server exclusively. The report server URL cannot be used by browsers to download directly, for security reasons.
Error Messages
The error message that is generated:
Duplicate headers received from server
Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple distinct Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response splitting attacks.Nevertheless, the report is being generated. Preventing the framework from writing the HTTP headers would resolve this issue.
Question
How can you set the HTTP headers in ADF while using a Task Flow to generate a PDF by calling a managed bean?
Ideas
Some additional ideas:
- Override the Page Lifecycle Phase Listener (`ADFPhaseListener` + `PageLifecycle`)
- Develop a custom Servlet on the web server

Thank you!

The problem was that the HTTP headers were in fact being written twice:
1. The report server was returning HTTP response headers.
2. The bean was including its own HTTP response headers (as shown in the question).
3. The bean was copying the entire contents of the report server response, including the headers, into the output stream.
Firefox ignored the duplicate header errors, but Google Chrome did not.
