Image issue in PDF output

I am running into an issue that I have narrowed down to the PDF output generated by XML Publisher. I have an image file (JPEG format) that is dynamically loaded from a file in $OA_MEDIA. When the output is PDF and when it is printed, the image is enclosed in a gray rectangle. When the output is RTF, the image is not enclosed. In either case, screen previews do not show any borders around the image. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Sunder

make sure when you are printing the document that you are using a postscript printer driver. If you are using pcl it will encase the image with a light grey background

Issue in PDF output for xml report

Hi,
I developed one template in RTF and output in pdf is looks fine.
I have issue in the output, For some invoices i have more lines,when the line details comes to next page for the same invoice i can able to view only the lines information in the next pages for the same invoice without any header details.
I need header information too if the lines comes to the next page.
i given <G_Headers> in the top of the page and <End for each> in the end of the page.
please how to resolve this issue.
with regards
Ram

There are lot of ways of doing this,
Simple one is given here.
If you are using table to display the rows, there is option in word table properties, to repeat the header in each page,
Repeating table headers
If your data is displayed in a table, and you expect the table to extend across
multiple pages, you can define the header rows that you want to repeat at the start
of each page.
1. Select the row(s) you wish to repeat on each page.
2. From the Table menu, select Heading Rows Repeat

Dynamic images in reports -- PDF output

In Reports uilder I can link an image object to a URL as described in the product help. This works well with an HTML output but in PDF only the image URL appears.
How could I solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hi,
The URL method of including images in valid only for HTML output.
The Reports Builder Help on "Images says that:
You can add an image to a report by:
- selecting a column in the database that contains images
- importing the image from a file into the report layout
- linking an image object to a file
- for HTML output, selecting a column in the database that contains URL links to images or linking an image object to a URL
If you reference a URL for an image, the image is displayed when you format your report for HTML output. For other output formats, the URL text displays in the Paper Design view
The reason for this is that Oracle Reports will only write the URL in the output. In case of HTML output, the browser can understand the URL, so it will fetch the image from the URL and show it. But this cannot be done by Acrobat Reader.
For PDF output you will have to use one of the other methods of inserting an image.

Controlling image size in PDF output

Hi, I'm generating PDFs from both Word and FrameMaker source files, as well as HTML through ePublisher. When I compare PDFs generated from FrameMaker with the HTML version, the images are pretty much identical in size, but images in PDFs generated from Word are about double the size when the PDF is viewed at 100%. I don't see any obvious settings in Distiller to control this. Is this something caused by (a setting in) Word, or do I need to modfiy something in my Acrobat job options?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Image quality in PDF output

When my iBook is exported to PDF or Print/Save as PDF several images have very degraded image quality. The same image prints well from pages. Any suggestions/ideas?

The same image printed from Pages looks fine.
I've inserted PDF, png, jpg (will probably try TIF/GIF next) all display the same degradation.
When a JPG is inserted as the Chapter intro image in iBooksAuthor it looks fine/much better.

Issues with PDF output

Hi,
I have a report registered for language=English and territory=Netherlands. But when I run the report, I cannot see the output. I get the following message:
"Unable to find published output for this request"
The report fetches data and creates the XML correctly. I have registered the template with Language = ENglish and Territory = Netherlands. I run the above report from a Netherland installation.
Any pointers how to debug this.
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Aashish,
I suggest you to check the RTF Template of your report ....as if your xml output file on submit request form--->diagnostic --->view xml ...is generated ... it means that your data defination file is perfectly fine but there is issue with your rtf template....may be some of grouping or tag is not put properly...
one thing i want to suggest you to pls save that data file as .xml extension and upload in rtf u designed on youe desktop.... check theprview if its coming fine or not.
let me know if u still facing the same problem.

PDF Output Issue

Hi All ,
I am facing a strange issue in PDF output format.
When I preview PDF output i am seeing some special character like *0E-00001111232* . The actual value should be *$ 2,343,500*.
When ever i face this issue immediately if i download and upload the same template its working fine. But after 15 days or 1 week again i am facing the same issue(On a regular interval).
Its not only for the number data type columns also for some varchar columns.
I checked the xml output its coming correctly , but only in preview i am facing this issue.
BIP Version : 10.1.3.4.1.
If any one faced with same issue please share your approach.
Thanks,
Ananth v

I guess that might be what format style i have to select for a 11" X 17" report.
or do i have to create a custom style.

Transparent shadow crossing over the image in pdf output

Hi Folks,
In recent days, we are frequently facing problem in using of tiff format image in InDesign. In pdf output, there is some transparent shadow crossing over the image. The problem occurs in ps to pdf as well as export pdf settings. The issue was not happened for the past 5 years.
If it is a reproducible error, we could find the root cause of the problem. But the same issue does not occur if we create the pdf again. Please see below the differences in viewing of actual image & problematic image and suggest how to resolve this and why it happens.
Issue 1:
Actual view of image shown in left side; Corrupted view of image shown in right side
Issue 2:
Issue 3:
Now I have suggested my team to convert all tiff images to psd image format. I really don't know whether it helps. All I need is to know the root cause of the issue. Anybody please suggest would be really helpful.

@Tyson:
In Issue 2, horizontal green color shading is crossing above the play/pause icon in right hand side of the image.
In Issue 3, I have displayed the screenshot of the image placed in InDesign to show the original view of the image. But the problem shows in right hand side that is pdf output view. You can see the horizontal green color shading in 1st image and light grey color shading (at the top of "NO" text) in 2nd image.
Actual & Effective PPi of top of the image --> 597
Actual & Eff. PPI of bottom of the image --> 477
PS to pdf creation:
Crops & bleeds ON, Composite CMYK color output, Image data: All, Postscript: Level3, Data format: Binary, Printer profile: Document CYMK-US. web coated
If you need more details, I'm ready to give you. Please let me know.

ECC6.0 - PDF issue - Junk Character output after Upgrade from 4.7c

Hi All,
I am working in Uprgade project(from 4.7c Non-unicode system to ECC6.0 unicode system).
We are facing PDF output issue in ECC6.0 that means we are getting junk character output(screenshot is attached for your reference).
In 4.7c , we have stroed the OTF data in table after generated from smartform as we should not get different output in future. Whenever we need output of the same then we are getting the OTF data from that table and we will generate pdf through "Convert_otf" function module.This logic is working fine in 4.7c.
In ECC6.0 ,the same logic is not working as system is unicode sytem and we are getting junk character output.
As per my old upgrade project experience , i have used the below piece of code for solve this junk character issue but still I am facing the same issue.
Kindly note that in my old upgrade project i have regenerated the OTF data in ECC6.0 and used the below piece of code then I got correct output but here I have to use the old OTF data (from table) which was generated in 4.7c.
Please any one can give solution for this issue.

Hi,
as you can see in SAP notes 842767 and 1349413, spool data cannot be converted properly for all types in a Unicode conversion.
This might be possible if you have English (US7ASCII) characters only, but with Chinese characters I do not think that a small piece of code can do it ...
Hence I think you need to recreate the data on the Unicode system ...
Best regards,

Image in PDF output not good

I am embedding an image in the Indesign document and outputting it as a PDF file. The image in the PDF file is not really clear. It appears pixellated. It is a JPG image and I tried both lossy and lossless compression. But the same image (it is a black and white sketch) embedded in MS Word comes out very well. Can I know the reason?

The blurryness and pixellation is due to the preview setting on the placed object. Faster processing if you handle multiple HQ images/objects.
To change the preview setting. Select an object, right klick (for i386) and goto "Display performance". Select "High Quality Display". You will see the preview quality of the object change. Sometimes, if the object is not linked, the blurryness will also come out when the ID-doc is exported to PDF or printed... even though the settings is "High Quality Display".

SCRIPT TO IMPORT MULTIPLE PLACED IMAGES..AND OUTPUT MULTIPLE IMAGES TO SINGLE PDF.

Anyone got a script to import multiple placed images into CS4? or is this possible in CS5?
and can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator? Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each page... would be a huge time saver for me.
Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..
I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go save as... only those layers get saved out...
And so adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..

In CS 4 and CS 5 you can drag and drop fro m the finder or the Bridge, and I guess any other similar type viewer, multiple number of image files to a document. You can configure the bridge in such a way as to allow you to see the Bridge and your document at the same time for this very purpose.
If you just drag and drop the files are linked if you drag while holding the shift key then the files will be embedded.
ID and PS CS 5 have a minibridge which works the sam way but is an actually panel and will stay in the front.
I separate the images but they import one on top of another.

Italics in PDF output issue

I am developing a report in Reports 6i on linux. The report generates a PDF output file, which is opened using Acrobat 7.0. I have made text italic at several points in the report, and the italic text shows up correctly in the previewer. However, when viewing the output in Acrobat, the italics slant to the left instead of the right (no matter what font I use). If I copy the italic text from the PDF and paste it into MS Word, it shows up correctly. Does anyone have an idea as to why Acrobat would display the italics incorrectly (and what can I do about it)? Thanks.

Hello, I am having the same issue on IBM AIX. Italic text is slanted to the left instead of the right and all the config I tried with the fonts setup do not work.
1) I installed the fonts on the report server.
2) I followed the Oracle doc on http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13597_05/bf.904/b13673/pbr_font.htm to no avail.
Hope someone has found a solution.
Thanks.

Problems with image on PDF output.

In my report, I inserted an image (.jpg format) in the margin section. The background of the image is white. In Oracle Reports Builder, the image was just fine. However, when generating the PDF output, it seems like the image in PDF was mixed with another color, or the background color has been changed. Why?
Due to confidential information, I cannot provide the screenshot here.

Appears to be a case of exceeding the original 100% w/h of the images.
Generally the images should be 'prepped' in size (to match the quality when zoomed). So the starting size of the images/icons on the stage should be scaled smaller - then the zoom will factor to the original size. I hope that made some sense.

PDF output file from Image Capture corrupted

This problem occurs only when scanning multiple page documents into image capture, the lower 1/4 of the first 2 pages are unreadable blurs. The page shows up ok in the Image capture preview window, but the PDF output is corrupted. The printer is a Brother MFC-7820N, I am scanning 150 dpi grayscale, US letter, no image correction, to PDF. The problem occurs with both of my computers, Quad G5 10.5.8, and a MacBook 10.5.8, this has happened since I purchased the printer, I was running 10.4 at the time. I have just scanned 1 page at a time with no problem, but now I have a large amount of documents to scan and I get the corrupt files. If anyone has seen this and found a solution, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Ah perfect, you made me aware of a feature kink I didn’t know about! When you import stuff using Image Capture, it goes into /private/tmp/Image Capture_Import.(string of numbers and letters).
You can navigate there by going to the Finder, hitting Command-Shift-G, and typing in /private/tmp—if the folder still exists, as it usually does for some time, sometimes even until the next restart or so—you can see the folders which should include one or more of thoe Image Capture_Import.something folders and find your files.
Incidentally, if you want to find a “system” file, i.e., one that’s in a location normally hidden by the Finder, you can:
1. Open up a new Spotlight/Find window in the Finder, and start searching by name.
2. Next to where it says Search: This Mac… etc. there’s a + button. Click that, then
3. From the dropdown menu choose Other… and look in the list for “System files” and check the “In Menu” checkbox for it.
4. Hit OK.
5. Choose “System Files” which is now in the dropdown, choose “are included” from the next dropdown.
Be careful what you do with files you find using this method. It will show everything, including files essential to running your Mac properly, so unless you know exactly what you’re doing, don’t just start dragging files off this window onto your Desktop or anything, try to copy them instead by option-dragging (holding down the option key while dragging)—that way, you’re only making copies, not moving a file from where it’s supposed to be, and your Mac can find it.
Hope this helps! If you can’t find your files this way, there are other programs which can undelete and perform other operations to recover data… this happens to everyone, no matter how long you’ve been a user.
