Incomplete hyperlink in PDF output . HTML output works fine

We have a 10g report that drills down to another report. The hyperlink to access the drill down report is very long (1080 chars).
When generating HTML output, the url is complete and link works fine. When generating PDF output, link gets cut out and it does not work... incomplete link.
Any ideas why this can be happening?

hello,
you might try to use the protocol prefix file:
e.g. file:///d|/myfiles/test.xsl
relative urls like d:/... are interpreted differently by
browsers or acrobat reader.

Hyperlinks in PDF, WORD, PPT not working in Safari on iPad

We have an intranet we are serving up for use on the iPad. The links to other documents in PDF, WORD, PPT work on my pc and laptop but not in the iPad. I have looked to see of there is a setting but the only thing I found was to allow pop ups which our site uses but not luck. The links are blue and appear they should work but don't. Any one else have this problem and how did you correct it?

We have a similar problem with links inside PDFs not working, but worse, our links are all relative, ie, only file names. This means that if you DO have an app that makes the links work, but which is not viewing it in the browser, the links will try to open the file, but it won't find it, since it won't have the full domain info.
I realize our users could put the full into on the links, but we chose to do it this way for the ease of preparation--we have hundreds of these files every month and there's no quick, easy or automatic way for the preparers to add the full domain info at creation time--it's 100% manual, even with copy/paste. It all works fine in IE on a PC, which is the overwhelming bulk of our viewers, so until recently when several board members got iPad2s, there was no compelling reason to make any changes. It wasn't broke

How to register a PDF Viewer application to work fine with IE

(Working on Windows 7 Pro x64 / IE 8)
I've developped my own PDF minimalist reader application (to run on kiosk PCs) and I cannot make it work fine with IE. Every time i try to follow a pdf file link in a web page, IE ask me if I want to open or to save the file. working on kiosk PCs, i don't
want the final users to be able to click "Save" in order to prevent them from browsing drives !
When using Adobe Reader on the PC, clicking a pdf link results in the file opened automatically in Adobe Reader.
Here is what I've added to the registry :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf]
@="PCLSPDFViewer.Document"
"Content Type"="application/pdf"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids]
"PCLSPDFViewer"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList\pclsPDFViewer.exe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document]
@="Ducment PCLS PDFViewer"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/pdf]
"Extension"=".pdf"ege
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\pclsPDFViewer.exe]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe"
What did I missed ?

Hi
Chris RENAUD 768,
First of all the PDF files should be set to be read by the application you developed by default.
To set the default program:
Control panel \Programs \Default Programs \Associate a file or protocol with a program
In IE8 There used to be a key called HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} which stored the File Types that could either
Auto-Open or not. We can create a .bat file to automatically add a value here to achieve the goal.
The code is as following:
@ECHO OFF
reg query HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
if "%ERRORLEVEL%" EQU "1" (
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" /f /v "PDF.File" /t REG_NONE
Note: Please Back up the registry before you modified the registry and delete the key {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} if it has existed in the registry before you ran the .bat file.
Best regards

HTML Mashup works fine in Silverlight, but not in UI5

Hello community,
we are building an integrated Customer Service Management solution for a Client of ours, via the SAP Cloud for Customer platform (solution for Services).
Currently, we are trying to embed some external Business Process activities in our Service Tickets UI Screens, by using HTML Mashups. Our reference has been the standard Cloud Application Studio documentation, and some well-written articles here on the SCN, such as the following: HTML script mashup - launched from an Embedded Component by Vinita Sinha.
In our solution, the HTML Mashup has been connected via a Port Binding interface to the C4C UI Layer, in a way to pass it some relevant information such as the Ticket ID, the Customer ID and the Cause Category ID, as shown in the picture below:
We built a custom Port Binding object, but if you use the Standard "Ticket Information" port Binding (in category "Productivity & Tools"), the effect will be the same. The Standard Port Binding we used in the Mashup Authoring configuration floorplan is the following:
In addition, we discovered that, in our case, this Mashup development works just in Silverligh Web Interface, but not in UI5. While in Silverlight we are able to consume and correctly interact with our Mashup, in UI5 we can see just an empty pane stuck at the initial "Loading..." screen, as shown below:
We opened an incident with the SAP Support for our system, and we have been told to try to build the Mashup can work just with no Port Binding specified. Indeed, if we remove the Input Port Binding from the Mashup configuration, the screen seems to work fine even in UI5, as shown below:
Unfortunately, this technical constraint does not cover sufficiently our Business Scenario, because the Mashup should be initialized with our Service Ticket (and Customer) data.
Has anybody ever experienced this kind of issue? And how did you solve it? If it has no resolutions, is there available any possible workaround?
Thanks a lot for your contributions.
Cheers,
Davide

Hi Pragya,
thank you for the update.
Another question: could you please give us any reference about these corrections you told about? Maybe they could be relevant in our case too.
Our raised incident number is: 3100851983

David,
it don't work fine with chinese in pdf report.Not sure whether you are able to generate the PDF or it has the charactres crumbled?
For me. it is definitely seems to be a configuration issue.
It is hard to help, as you haven't given enough information on your environment.
Please check your setup for the entries for uifont.ali and your fonts in REPORTS_PATH.
Please go through the PDF whitepaper in OTN.

I have an issue in Adobe Reader, blurry text with a section of a PDF. Same file works fine on a colleagues PC. Even tried Pro?

I posted this question on Twitter last week, was asked to check the settings for rendering and this didn't make a difference. I then installed Adobe Acrobat Pro to see if this made a difference but no luck. Finally I was asked to print in B&W but again no luck. One of my colleagues is using Reader and the same file works fine for him. Please help...

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

My HTML code works fine in IE8 but pages "jump" slightly to the right and left in Firefox

I have created a website that looks and works fine in IE8 but in Firefox some of the pages jump a couple of pixels to the left. I have tried to debug it but cannot find any coding errors.

Hyperlinks in PDF Output

Hi,
I've been trying for a few weeks to get hyperlinking to work in my exported PDF version of Presenter-powered presentations. Branched navigation, external URLS, nor internal attachments work like the html version. I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong or is this unfixable or if this has been addressed in Presenter 8.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...
JP

Hi JP,
Branched navigation, External URLs should work for 7.0.7 and 8.0 both.
Internal attachments however do not work currently in PDf version for Presenter 8.0 as well.
Also I would like to know what objects are you applying the hyperlinks on ? Is it simple text or shapes, picture, smartArt ?
It will be good if you please mail me the problematic part of your presentation.
Thanks
Alpi

Hyperlinks in PDF preview do not work

Hyperlinks in the preview PDF files that people first see when they click a Send link do not work. Can this possibly be fixed? Some users may not want to go through the hassle of downloading the document and want to be able to use the full document from the preview screen.

You have to create one or more Character Styles to populate that menu.
Format some text the way you want your hyperlinks to look, (color, underline, etc.). With your newly formatted text selected, go to the Character Styles panel (if it's not visible, press Shift+F11), and choose New Character Style from the panel menu. Give it a name like "hyperlink" and click OK.
Now, when you create or edit hyperlinked text, your Character Styles menu will include the character style you created, in addition to [None].

Some letters are missing when I open a PDF in Firefox. Works fine in other browsers.

When I open a PDF using Firefox, some letters in words that are printed across the document are missing. I believe the creator of the document used a text box to add "Draft" on it. The D is missing. Other words I have found are "Copy Non-negotiable" and the C is missing. These same PDFs open fine in IE and Chrome. Have experienced it on V22-V25. Using Windows7

Starting in Firefox 19, PDF files will display by default in a built-in viewer. This viewer does not yet support all of the features of the Adobe viewer, and may also have some bugs. Other than changing viewers, as described in the following article, I'm not sure what to suggest.

HTML Vs PDF output

Hi,
I have created a report which is
running on web.
The PDF output looks fine to me as seen during design time but the HTML output is totally weared.
The text is not formatted properly etc...
Is there any way i can design a report which will look same in pdf and html output .
Pl. help
sh

Mananing html and pdf together seems to me a difficult task.
Output format differs by the Operating system too.
Html can be in better shape when font size is
less than 8.
But if this is 8 or > than 8 it will mess up the report.
We definelty need some assitance from the oracle team to help us out in reducing our
development time for multiple outputs.
Looking fwd to hear from oracle team,
thanks in advance

Web report in PDF output differently with different parameter string delimiter.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the two reply to my previous question regarding matrix report.
I have another question,
I invoke a report in web browser, so I put
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid="123"+p_exp="01-JAN-2002"+p_exp2="01-APR-2002"
The above results an empty PDF report output, i.e., no data.
But if I do this,
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid='123'+p_exp='01-JAN-2002'+p_exp2='01-APR-2002'
Then the report will work.
The ONLY difference, is that my parameters values for the first (error) URL I uses " and for the second (successful) I uses ' to delimit it.
This only happens when DESFORMAT=PDF, I tried using Text or HTML, both worked fine with both string delimiters (" and ').
Help.

Hi, thanks for answering.
But if I use double quotes, no data is shown in the PDF. Just an empty report format. Is there any work around this?
I am using Oracle Report 6i running on Windows NT 4 and Oracle 8i database.
Please advice.

Hyperlinks to folder locations don't work

Hello,
I'm having trouble creating functioning hyperlinks to folder locations on local or network drives. I've tried this both in InDesign CS3 and InDesign CS1 on Windows XP.
I select the text, create new hyperlink, choose 'URL' as Type, then paste the filepath into the URL box (e.g. D:\). If my text tool is within the hyperlink text of the InDesign document, then I click on 'Go to hyperlink destination', it will open a new Windows Explorer window with the correct destination. If I export to PDF, however (making sure to check 'Bookmarks' and 'Hyperlinks' to be included), these hyperlinks to local or network drives don't work. I get errors like 'Cannot find 'd:%5C'. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct'.
The other hyperlinks to web addresses seem to work fine. Does anybody have ideas on this?

I should have read that more closely.
It doesn't seem to apply. The only reason that would matter is if you were running the SWF-output from Captivate locally.
ALWAYS test your product from the web to avoid any such security issues.
But yes, if you're putting the published file on a local/network drive, then that security change will need to be applied and, yes, for every computer that accesses the file.
You definitely want to distribute from an HTTP location.
I did hope the first part of that article would help. They're not difficult to setup once you find the option. Just highlight some text and right-click to setup the hyperlink...right?

Pdf object postMessage not working in FF 22

Hi,
After updating my FF to 22, i seen pdf object postMessage function does not working. We used adbove livecycle intraactive pdf forms to collect the data from the user.
When user click the save button from the pdf, postMessage function called, but after update this not getting execute.
For your reference i include the URL which also had the same problem. I also tried without addons.
Refer: http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
HTML to PDF => works
PDF to HTML => not working (in earlier versions it worked)
Thanks n Regards
Mathan

This is likely the fault of Livecycle Interactive. Most likely, Adobe has not yet provided an update for supporting Firefox 22. I would recommend informing adobe support about it.
