Issue with RTF layout vs. PDF layout

I'm creating a report that needs to have output for both PDF and RTF. I have a simple request, I need to have 1 line drawn in the report. No data issues or anything else, just a simple line.
I've used the auto-shape menu to draw a line and it appears in my PDF output but not my RTF output. I've also tried having a table be in my layout and just show the bottom or top border. The problem with that is that in the RTF output, the user will see the other lines of the table whether I like it or not.
In the BI Pub manual it says, 'BI Publisher supports Microsoft Word drawing, shape, and clip art features. You can add these objects to your template and they will be rendered in your final PDF output.' Anyone know if this is worded this way because Oracle knows it won't work in your RTF output?
Thanks!

Could you test it to be according to the following step?
Step 1:
You must get the following values from application.
          SELECT xt.template_code
          ,xt.application_short_name
          ,xt.application_id
          ,xt.template_type_code
          INTO l_template_code
          ,l_application_short_name
          ,l_application_id
          ,l_template_type_code
          FROM apps.xdo_templates_vl xt
          ,apps.xdo_ds_definitions_b xds
               ,fnd_concurrent_programs fcp
               ,fnd_concurrent_requests fcr
          WHERE xt.ds_app_short_name = xds.application_short_name
          AND xt.data_source_code = xds.data_source_code
          AND fcp.concurrent_program_name = xds.data_source_code
          AND xds.application_short_name = ( SELECT application_short_name
          FROM fnd_application
          WHERE application_id = fcp.application_id
          AND fcp.concurrent_program_id = fcr.concurrent_program_id
          AND fcr.request_id = :p_conc_request_id
          AND (xt.end_date IS NULL OR TRUNC(xt.end_date) > TRUNC(sysdate));

  • Issues with buttons in interactive pdf (CS4)

    Hi there, I'm working on an interactive pdf that is going to be used cross platform. I'm working with ID CS4 (6.0.6) and Acrobat CS4 (9.4.4). I have some issues with the buttons I've created that I need to solve. The buttons are contours made in AI and pasted in ID. When done I exported my pdf from ID and checked with Acrobat and added a few links using Acrobat as one can't use the command 'go to specific page' in ID itself (yes, this has to be a non-Flash pdf).
    When testing in Acrobat I noticed 2 things I need to solve.
    First: sometimes a button doesn't work properly the first time but later on it does or the other way around.
    Second: when viewing on a pc using Acrobat Reader 9.4 some of the buttons show little dots in a square showing the active field when hovering, although I've set border colour and fill colour to none on all buttons.
    How can I fix these issues? I couldn't find anything in the properties dialog box. And one final question: from which versions of Adobe Reader (Mac and pc) are interactive pdf's supported?
    TIA

    Thanks George. You're correct, most of the actions were set straight in ID. The only reason I go into Acrobat is to hookup the buttons that need to go to a specific page rather than to the next page. Since my version of Acrobat is not English I had to google English manuals to get the exact English phrases. Alas, I can't hand you a copy of the document either since it holds some sensitive information that I'm not allowed to share.
    Instead of posting all the settings I made, I looked more carfeful to the buttons that have multiple actions. In Acrobat you have a bit more control over the hierarchy of the actions so I guess this is where we can straighten out the hickups, right? I have a few buttons that have actions for go to a next/previous page and toggle the show/hide of a few items on the pages. So I my case most of the buttons were set to first do the show/hide and then go to the next page rather than first go to the previous/next page and then do the show/hide actions. Could this be the cause of the staggering of some of the buttons?
    And for last, right now the ID document has 4 layers. I could reduce that to 2. Would that be of any (additional) help? Thanks!

  • Issue with printing Indesign exported PDF in Chrome

    I have created a file in CS6 and exported it to a two sided PDF. This PDF works when printing from the PDF.
    I have uploaded it as a document link on a website and when clicking on the link it opens in a separate window. If people use Internet Explorer or download the file the PDF and print it it looks perfect.
    If the user is using Google Chrome only a section of the PDF prints at a large size. It looks like it thinks the PDF is an A3 so only prints the bottom left hand corner.
    Things I have already tried - which all have the same issue.
    Creating a brand new InDesign file and exporting reuploaded on the website
    Saving it as a IDML file and exporting and reuploaded on the website
    Had someone else export the file
    Tried printing from google chrome outside the office
    Checked no issues with the website backend
    Checked with the IT company that services our systems.
    Thanks in advance of your help.

    Hi jtrew,
    It sounds as though the issue is specific to Chrome. Please see the following document from Google support: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142056?hl=en

  • HELP!! Issue with mailto button in PDF

    Hi
    I have a button in a PDF form that attaches default email (LOTUS NOTES) when clicked. I have my settings in IE set to Lotus Notes as my default client and also in Lotus Notes I have the same settings.
    The form however does not work sometimes when the button is clicked, nothing happens. It works fine for me but doesn't on another computer with the same settings.
    Is this an issue with the PDF or Lotus Notes? If so any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Both machines are running windows XP SP 3
    I have done some google-ing the issue but I didn't get any useful information.
    I tried it on the second computer again and it says no 'email exits'
    Any help on why this is happening will be very useful.
    thanks in advance!!

  • Issue with printing an Indesign PDF

    Hi all,
    I'm just getting into the InDesign software, picking new stuff up everyday.  So far, so good! Or so I thought...
    I've just created a small handout / brochure which I've converted to PDF.  The problem I'm having is that when I print the PDF it creates an opaque white box on every page in the same place. I've googled it and can't seem to find anything to solve it - the only thing that slightly married up to my issue was to do with the image clipping paths, but I didn't set any to begin with.  All images are currently JPG's that have been "placed" in and are set to a 30% transparency.
    I'm thinking of just doing a long winded trial and error by removing all images and seeing if that's what's causing the problem.  Unfortunately I have to do so on one machine, transfer it to another just to print to find out if that's the case.  Which is annoying...
    Any help would be most appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Rob

    Turns out it was an issue with the images that i'd put in (not 100% sure what!).  I don't think it was on the master sheet as I left that alone, but took out the JPGs in the rest of the document and put them back one by one.  Can't say what was causing the issue before because I set all the transparency settings the same and placed the images in like before, but at least it's fixed now!
    Update: It would appear it happens when I print the PDF as an image.  /facepalm....
    Thanks again for the replies and help

  • We are having issues with WLS 5.1   pdf   SSL

    We are running IE 5.0 and above browser with our application and the server is Weblogic 5.1 We are having issues with a generated pdf being sent down from the server using the response outputStream in an SSL connection. We tried setting the content type before getting the outputstream. IE comes back with a dialog for download. When we select either of the options IE comes back with "Unable to download <url> from <server>. We are using WLS 5.1 service pack 6. Any help will be greatly appreciated
              

              I tried this option, but did not help. We have two weblogic servers on different
              machines. One works fine in downloading pdf file over https, but not the other.
              The error we are getting after selecting it to save it to a file:
              IE cannot download xx.pdf from www.xxx.com
              From the link, when we say "save target as", we get different error as:
              This file could not be written to cache.
              Someone suggested to pass "pragma: public" or "pragama: no-cache" in the header.
              But we are just simply serving it as a file, neither from servlet nor from jsp.
              So I suspect it something to do with our weblogic proxy or security configuration.
              Any ideas/help is much appreciated.
              Thanks

  • Issue with Turkish character in PDF

    Hi all,
         For a particular requirement we had to print a layout in smartform and send them as a PDf attachement. The steps are explained below.
    1) Create a layout with the Smartform(No spool generated but the OTF is being obtained for PDF)
    2) The obtained OTF is converted into PDF and sent as a mail.
    While one of this above 2 process the turkish character get changed/corrupted depending upon the users default printer. Could anynone let me know how can I prevent this by manual(Through code while caling SF) providing a printer to the smartform.
    Regards
    Simin.

    Hi Gungor,
        The User parameter is not empty.
    1) If I put a printer which does not support Turkish in the user parameters. The PDF created by the program has junk characters
    2) If I put a printer which supports Turkish in the user parameters. The PDF created by the program has turkish characters.
    Though I forcibly pass the printer while calling smartforms in the program, Why is the program still depending on the users parameters.
    My Need is to remove this dependecy of the program over the default printer in the User Master.
    Regards,
    Simin.

  • Issues with Saving Data as PDF

    Hello,
    I have a PDF form, created in Acrobat, and uploaded into FormsCentral. Once a user fills it out and submits it, I save the record as a PDF. The downloaded PDF has a couple of issues:
    If there is a default value for a radio button field, the new PDF shows the default button AND the actual answer BOTH clicked on. This makes it very difficult to see what the actual answers are.
    One of the fields on the PDF is blank, even though it is a required field and data was entered by the user. If I click in the field, the text is visible. If I click away, the text disappears. I am also unable to print the text. The field happens to be the last field on the form. It is one of two essay questions that each take up a full page. The first question is fine. The second question has this issue. As far as I can tell in the original PDF, prior to import into FormsCentral, the two fields have identical properties.
    The workaround we discovered is to open the PDF in Acrobat, export the data to a .fdf file, then import the data back into the original, pre-FormsCentral PDF. That seems to solve both issues above, but is very cumbersome for our purposes. Any ideas on what the issue is? Any help would be most appreciated!

    Hi Josh,
    I did try downloading a few different responses into PDF, but have not seen a difference in the radio button display. I have tried both old records, as well as those we received yesterday. Is there a change that I need to make to the PDF?
    Regarding the text display issue, I have been observing the records we have been receiving, and the display issue is intermittent. Sometimes the text displays fine, other times not at all. Sometimes just the top portion of the paragraph is truncated. I have also seen issues occur in other, smaller paragraph-type fields on the form, not just the last two essay questions. I'm not sure if this helps. In addition, we received 2 records yesterday on another form that is similar to the one described above, and the text displayed perfectly. This form was actually created before the others that have had isuues. I will share that form with you, as well.
    Thank you again for your help on this!

  • Issues with XMP metadata in PDF/A

    Hello all,
    I'm doing a project converting historical pdf's to pdf/a format for archiving. I'm consistantly running up against problems with xmp schemas not being predetermined. This one in particular keeps giving me error messages when converting via Preflight, despite the fact that as far as I know it IS a predefined schema.
    http://ns.adobe/xap/1.0/mm/xmpMM:History
    Unfortunately I can't find any way of deleting it, and have no luck with the Convert Document Metadata fixup. I'm using Acrobat 9. Any hints?

    This is a known issue that has been resolved in Acrobat XI. For previous versions you need to remove the xmpMM data objects manually before the PDF/A conversion step - there's a free script which will add a new menu item.

  • Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
    For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
    But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
    We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
    of East European languages belong.
    Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
    We have raised  a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
    and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
    But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
    these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
    If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension,  for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.

    Hi,
    Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
    I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
    I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.

  • Issue with web links in PDF document using adobe reader 10.1.1

    Hi,
    We are creating the PDF documents that contains website links. The problem that is occurring is whenever we click on the website links in the pdf file, it opens up IE browser but just show connecting message without actually showing the link and its content. This is ocuurring when we open the PDF using adobe reader 10.1.1 . However it seems to be working fine with Adobe reader 9 . Moreover the length of the URL is bit large and seems like links work fine when we have 253 characters in the URL and if they are more than that then it is not working.Since it is working fine in Adobe reader 9 is there any constraint imposed on the length of URL with adobe reader 10.1.1 . Anything regarding this will be of great help.

  • Issue with emailing dynamically generated PDF (InteractiveForm UI element)

    Hi Experts ,
    I have a requirement according to which i need to generate PDF dynamically using webdynpro java and email the dynamically generated PDF.
    I am facing issue while emailing the dynamically genarated pdf.
    It gives me an exception :
    nested exception is: javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;  nested exception is: java.io.IOException: no data
    This is because its unable to get the binary data (byte array) of the dynamically generated PDF which is required to send mail.
    Could some one suggest me how to fetch the binary data of the dynamically generated PDF.
    For dynamic PDF generation i am using dynamic generation of UI element   InteractiveForm UI Element 
    In case of static PDF (i.e. the PDF genarated by inserting the InteractiveFrom Ui element on the view using the insert child option) we do set the pdf source property of Interactive Form UI element to a context variable attribute of type binary but  my problem is ,how to set the PDF source of a dynamically generated Interactive form UI element to a context variable attribute of type binary ..
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Regards ,
    Navya

    Hi Frank ,
    the code to generate PDF dynamically is written in the WdDoModifyView section of the view as the PDF need to be generated dynamically., i.e. by adding InteractiveForm UI elements at  runtime.
    I tried the code suggested by you  but i gave mean exception.
    errorjava.io.FileNotFoundException:
    (The system cannot find the path specified)
    Kindly let me know where i am going wrong .
    Below is the code that i  had written in a separate method m_mail().
    This would take as input the name of the dynamically generated data node and is called from the wdDoModifyView section of the view
    public void m_mail( java.lang.String p_dynamicnodeName )
                   ByteArrayOutputStream templateSourceOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              //        This would need to have the Templatefile in the Mimes-Directory of the Webdynpro-Component
                   String templateUrl = WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(), "AdobeView1_InteractiveForm.xdp");
                   InputStream templateSourceInputStream = new FileInputStream(templateUrl);
                   IOUtil.write(templateSourceInputStream, templateSourceOutputStream);
                   IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext pdfContext = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler().getDocumentCreationContext();

                   .nodeCtx_vn_dynmcnd()

  • Issue with creationof picture in PDF Photo Book

    I have created a photo book. The preview of a particular photo looks good. I have generated the book in pdf format to review, however, one specific picture show an issue in the picture it's self. I deleted the file and regenerated. Again contaminated pixels in the same picture in the same area. I have regenerated the preview and it still looks good. I have exported the picture to jpeg (50% size) and no issues.
    What could be wrong? The contaminated pixels only appear in the photo book, not in the preview or exported jpeg.
    Thanks

    Any resolution to this problem? I have the same issue. I had this problem in 1.5.6. Then I upgraded to 2.0 today and still have the same problem. Macbook Pro 2.2 15"
