Issue with PDF download

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem with the PDF download option. In the answers request I have to use Pivot tables to display data and since these pivot tables do not provide the option of Table Headings, I resorted to HTML to get a similar output. The issue I am facing right now is when I print it through PDF or Powerpoint, the HTML code I have written comes up instead of the result. In the case of excel or answers, I am getting the proper output. Is there some setting I am missing?? I am using the column with the HTML coding in the Columns section of the pivot table.
Thnx!

Hi,
This is a known issue with HTML code embedded in your request, when you try to download the same in PDF, PowerPoint it will show the code.
You can the following bugs regarding this in metalink.
Bug 7187501: PDF SHOWS HTML TAGS WHILE PRINTING REPORT WITH BOLD LETTERS -HTML Tags Shown When Print or Export to PDF (Doc ID 1064060.1)
Bug 9372634: HTML TAGS SHOWN WHEN PRINT/EXPORT TO PDF
Bug 8899783: HTML TAGS APPEAR IN PDF REPORT
Thanks,

Issue with File Download(messageDownload) on Search Page.

Hi,
I created a custom OAF search page which fetches values from one table. The document in getting stored in my custom table in a BLOB colums and NOT in FND_LOBS.
The table has 3 collumns along with others:
1st is primary key (Record_Seq) ==> number data type
2nd to store actual file name (File1Name) ==> varcahar2 data type
3rd to store the actual uploaded data (File1Data) ==> BLOB data type
The reason for having the “File1Name” is so that I can display the original file name of the document that was uploaded, instead of just the “view” in the search page results .
On the File1Data BLOB and created a messageDownload for that under query results table with following details:
ID : File1Data
ItemStyle : messageDownload
FileMIME Type : pdf
Datatype : BLOB
View Instance : LacEmpExposureVO1
view Attribute : File1Name
File View Attribute : File1Data
When I click on the "File1Name" data hyperlink, it is opening only the first document corresponding to the first record in the search page results.
For example, If my search page returns 10 rows then when I click on the file1name on any row, It is open the first row file name only.
I have a primary key column(RECORD_SEQ) in the Table / EO / VO which is displayed in the search page results.
Also one weird thing is happening:
If I try to do this more than 2 times then it is opening the update page with the first record from the search page results…
I tried to print the context and it is nul the first time, But the second time then context is changing to "update". Dont know how this is happening????
Any advice is greatly appreciated as it is very crucial for me to get this resolved ASAP. I have looked at several forums and did a lot of things as advised in the forums . But nothing seems to work for me.
Thanks,
Mir

Issue with PDF

Hi All,
i facing issue with PDF format .
we developed smartform and we are using standard program SAPF150D2.
we did translation for that form englsih to EURO.
Now if we see output in OTF format , it showing correct way in EURO.
but , i we see same layout in PDF format,
Insted of showing ( ' )this letter, it is showing # in the PDF layout.
Is there any pointer to know soultion for this.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
JBR

This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

Problems with PDF downloads

I was ready to blame the latest update from Apple, but perhaps not. Here are the symptoms:
Our church publishes a newsletter in PDF format which can be downloaded from their web site every month. This month, after the latest Apple update, the downloaded document has problems. General format is OK (boxes around text, images) but all text is simply grey bars that seem shaded from one side of the page to the other.
If I save the document and try to open it in Preview the same problem.
HOWEVER, if I open the document in the Adobe reader the document is fine!
I thought this might be a problem with my iMac (first of the aluminium iMacs), so I tried this on my Apple laptop (recent vintage). Both machines run 10.6.8 with the latest updates from Apple applied. I have no funny "helper" programs; i.e. the software is pretty clean and all updated.
Same issue on the laptop.
HOWEVER I looked for a generic pdf download on the web and downloaded a PDF instruction sheet from the Moen (plumbing) web site - no problem!
So now my suspicion is that the PDF document has the problem. But I would have thought that PDF is PDF and if the Adobe reader can handle the document that Safari and Preview should be able to? Is there some format switch in the program used to generate the PDF document that would cause the Apple programs to fail but Adobe to succeed?
Any thoughts welcomed! I'd like to figure out if it's me or them.
PS - I've not yet tried this on that "other" operating system. I could do that with a trip to the library

Thanks guys. I think I'll just rely on Acrobat as suggested. Sounds like somehting has changed on their end as the previous month's file loads fine.
I'll check with teh secretary ans see what has happened.
Thanks

PA30 GOS issue with PDF, JPG, DOC

Hi All,
I have an issue with GOS in PA30, when I try to open the pdf file (or DOC, JPG) the file is download to my PC by later when SAP try to open it the system stuck till timeout. There is no issue with txt file for example. The file which is in temp can be open and it's ok. GOS works ok for all other t-codes.
No idea what is happening. The SAP stuck at some FM with "Flush" statement and called by RFC destination SAPGUI.
Thanks in advance for help

Hi romanr74152246,
Does this happen with all PDF files or any specific one?
Try printing the file again and then share the screenshot of the message so that I can analyze the exact problem.
Also, please check if you are running the latest patch of Acrobat XI i.e. 11.0.10 under "Help > About Adobe Acrobat XI pro"
Hope to hear from you.

Issues With PDF Template Mapping

Hi all,
Oracle BI Publisher for Windows 10.1.3.2.1
Oracle Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.2.1
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5
Broswer IE 6.0.29
I have created a report based on a single database table (DEMO.PRODUCTS) but am experiencing problems when I try and map the form fields in PDF Template to my sample XML file.
I created a PDF Template and uploaded this template to my Layout. This PDF Template has two form fields on it (PRODUCTNAME and UNITPRICE, which incidentally are the names of the database columns I want them to map to).
I have also uploaded my sample XML data file and therefore have access to the Map Form Fields button on my report definition. However, when I click on the button a new window opens with the Map PDF Form Fields and a dialog to "Click on each highlighted...." and then hangs. When I close the window I receive a message about an Adobe Acrobat error.
If I try and do the same thing in Firefox then I receive a message in the JavaScript Console:
Acrobat Database Connectivity Built-in Functions Version 5.0
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 5.0
Acrobat Annotations / Collaboration Built-in Functions Version 5.0
TypeError: app.execDialog is not a function opened this in Adobe Acrobat
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
Many thanks,
Gary.

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.

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

Unique issue with PDF to WORD .doc conversion with Acrobat Pro - any ideas?

I have been unable to solve the following issue when converting (save as...) PDF documents to Microsoft Word .doc using numerous methods. This could either be an issue that would be fixed in Acrobat Pro itself, or in MS Word - posting to the Adobe forums first.
PREFACE: I am attempting to use the converted .doc file with translation applications/software. Google Translator Toolkit is what I use the most, but ALL other translators are having this very same issue with the .doc file. --The source PDFs are product information from drug manufacturers in various countries that I need to have translated to English. I do not have access to their source documents, as they do not provide their own source docs for obvious reasons.
ALSO: I cannot use Google Translator toolkit to translate from PDFs directly - if you do that, it will attempt to translate a PDF and then export in an .html file, but it does not get the exact spacing of the sentences correctly, which leads to errors in translating - key things such as "can take with alcohol" and "do not take with alcohol". So that's out!
I am not having any problems with the resultant .doc file in MS Word itself. It looks right, the spacing matches the original PDF source perfectly, prints correctly, etc... Reference here on a product info sheet from Austria in German:
The problem: This is a screenshot from Google Translator Toolkit - the right side of the image - the spacing in the lettering from the .doc file I am uploading is not being read correctly, resulting in untranslated gibberish. (Note: this isn't a problem with the translation applications or software -- all are having this issue with .doc files converted from .pdf - this issue isn't present with any old .doc file that wasn't converted from a .pdf) -- It's definitely got something to do with some kind of embedded data in the .doc file that I cannot isolate!!)
My settings in Adobe Pro (convert from PDF to .doc):
Page layout: Flowing Text (this prevents the resultant .doc from having all of those text boxes, which also don't then work in translators)
Include comments: True
Include images: True
Run OCR if needed: True
Notes:
-I have run OCR text recognition on the source PDF files in it's specific language.
-I have edited the accessibilty of the PDF and have run the tag recognition and quick checks (to see if they solved the issue, which it did not - tagged or untagged, same problems!)
-I have exported the .doc BACK to PDF using MS Word's function, which results in a great looking tagged PDF. THEN I re-saved this new PDF back as a .doc - same issue.
-I have tried saving the PDF in all of the other formats that the translators accept. All have different issues. The only one that works consistently is saving to a .txt (plain)... The best is a .doc to .doc conversion, with all the original spacing. (I am not spending hours reformatting a .txt translation in word)...
I can't seem to find where this spacing data is in the .doc file!!!! (Changing the fonts, sizes, margins -- doesnt fix this either). I have tried so many methods...
Any thoughts on other things to try in Adobe Pro (or Word)?
EDIT: Here's an additional tidbit of info that may be the key to this... There's some kind of coding that is in the .doc that Adobe Pro converted from the source PDF that doesnt display in Word, but that is being seen by the translation programs....... I have no idea what these are, but I want to remove them!

I would suggest you look at the fonts that are being used. It may be a font issue that is not properly being read by the translation program.

Issue with file download from BLOB type data

i have been using this for a while, with no problems, including on hosted machines.
the upload to the database works fine.. not the issue, and the download script also works fine, on the local WAMP machine.
but once moved to the server it fails.. the query does not work.
i have a feeling that it is something to do with the managed hosting i am using, but they say no, i have tried it on 2 seperate hosted machines (different providers), with no joy.
if i run the select query on the hoisting server via phpmyadmin, the query runs ok.
any suggestions as to what may be causing the problem on the server compared to the local WAMP machine?
i really don't know where to start looking, or where to point the hosting company.
This is the php code to download the blob data, works fine on local WAMP setup, browser asks if you want to save the file/open etc. as expected.
<?php require_once('Connections/connTracker.php'); ?>
<?php
// if id is set then get the file with the id from database
if(isset($_GET['docindex']))
           {$id    = $_GET['docindex'];
        $query = "SELECT document_name, document_type, document_size, document_content " .
           "FROM tracker_documents WHERE document_index = ".$id;
*** seems to be failing here when running the query ***
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed');
           list($name, $type, $size, $content) = mysql_fetch_array($result);
     header("Cache-Control: maxage=1"); //In seconds
   header("Pragma: public");
     header("Content-length: $size");
           header("Content-type: $type");
           header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
           echo html_entity_decode ($content);}
exit;
?>

Hi Gun,
You are the only one responded to my issue. I have allocated some points.
Yes. I have checked the assignment in CRM organizational model.
I did download the org. structure from ECC 5.0
All objects including sales offices are activated for determination and I have verified with green light
As per your suggestion if the sales area data is not matched between the two systems, then how come the error will not reappear during the bdoc reprocess?
What is missing during the first time bdoc process? Looks something is missing for validation module?
Any inputs?
Thanks,
Raj

Issue with PDF links and opened Adobe files

I have tested and IE 8 opens correct links inside PDF's.
When I open link in Mozilla or Chrome it will not work.
Is this related to Adobe Plugin which is installed inside Add-ons?
Strange is that link inside PDF shows the following link:resource://pdf.js/web/
After checking support issues there was quoted in the past:
The current Firefox 27 beta release still doesn't show the links properly using version 0.8.641, but the current Aurora 28.0a2 build does show the links to the Appendices properly using version 0.8.759.
So that would mean that when Firefox 28 gets released in March it will work for users with this Firefox version.

This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

Issue with PDF creation

Hi,
We have an issue with the PDF file generated using standard SAP program 'RFFOEDI1'. The issue is that special characters for the country 'CZ' are printed as '#' in the PDF.
However, the spool for 'CZ' prints the special characters correctly.
Can any one please let us know why is the program 'RFFOEDI1' not printing special characters for 'CZ' correctly????
Cheers,
Raghav.

Please update to latest Acrobat 9 release which is 9.4.2.
Also do let us know
a) office 2003 flavour: Standard or professional?
b) OS flavour? Also whether it is 32bit or 64bit?
Also as you mentioned that "Not all documents are affected", so we would require any of your affected file to analyze the issue. Can you please share the file? You can use acrobat.com to share the file.
Thanks,

Creating interactive PDFs with page turn,issue with PDF

I recently watch a video on adobe tv titled "indesign : creating interactive PDFs with page turn and flash animation". The video was great,simple to follow with great results, I was able to create a document with interactive page turns that was viewable in a web browser,the next step was to then create the same document but be able to view it in PDF format. I followed the above mentioned video and everything worked apart from one issue once I exported the indesign file out as an interactive PDF it opened up in adobe acrobat pro with no problem but when I went to turn the page it would lag and slow down to the point were it was almost impossible to turn the page, the page turning didn't seem to flow as well as when viewing it in a web browser. The document I am creating is a catalogue and I am happy with the interactive version for the web but I am looking at putting the catalogue on a CD/ USB and need it to open and work with PDF, it would be a great help if anyone could advise me on the reason why the interactive page turning runs so poor in PDF format. I am currently running on a very powerful computer with the adobe CS5 master suit.
Any help would be much appreciated

The page flipping is an SWF effect, so essentially you now have an entire SWF embedded inside a PDF.
If you forget about this garish effect (which, I can guarantee you, by next year will be "so 2012") you can send out a standard PDF which can be easily viewed on otherwise sub-standard computers, and using very straightforward PDF readers, such as the ones currently available for the iPad and its clones.
