Hi Frazer,
I am indeed using Central Output Server not the Central Pro. Is there any trial version available for Central Pro? Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Garbled fonts when generating a PDF file

Greetings all:
I am currently creating a series of documents in FM10 which are then converted to PDF for eventual posting on the web.The first two converted to PDF okay (more or less). I created a chapter template which is used for making the third document. All of the formats and document properties are the same. When I generated the PDF (saved book as PDF), I got some weird results. All of the headings, chapter titles, and other text that used the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font came out garbled. Even the character count doesn't jibe with the original in Frame. I checked to make sure the font is installed in the c:\windows\fonts folder. Adobe PDF is set as the default printer. I tried generating the PDF with "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts" checked and un-checked both. There was no difference in the output.
I don't have much of a choice in fonts. The people I'm doing the work for really want to use the Lucida Sans Demi Bold font. Other sans-serif fonts look okay in regular type but their bold faces are too bold.
Fonts aside, what's going on with the PDF conversion and why am I getting it now with this new document when it worked before with the other two documents?
BTW - I'm using the PDF add-on that came with FM10. We don't have the full version of Acrobat installed. No one to compare notes with here, I'm the only writer and the only FM10 user. On a Win7 platform.

Make certain that the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" option is checked in your SaveAsPDF window. Otherwise, you're using the CMYK workflow, which has some serious problems.

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

Reset a pricing condition type value when generating billing document

Hi experts,
I have a delivery-related billing type. In sales order, there is a pricing condition type Z001, with value = 100, I would like to reset it to zero when generating billing document. Is there any configuration or user exits can do this? Thanks.

Hello,
You can do this in BILLING provided , if the Condition type is Manual condition type
To achieve this you have to do some configuration in the condition types as,
Goto transaction code V/06 and select your condition type and maintain the MNAUAL ENTRIES as C which means you can process it manually and in the V/08 chose your pricing procedure and against your condition type check the Manal entry .
Now you can change the value of the condittion type to 0 in the Billing document.
Hope this is clear,
regards,
santosh

I get an 'Invalid Image Type' error when using the Locate Features. (Evaluation version)

I'm using the Evaluation Version of Vision Builder. I Simulate Acquisition using my own image (jpg), which loads fine. However, when I try to use any of the Inspection Steps features, other than Enhance Images, I get an "Invalid Image Type" error.

Hello,
Vision Builder functions usually work with a certain image type. For example, all the functions listed under Binary (in the menubar) will only work with binary images. Likewise, color functions will work for color images and grayscale will work for grayscale images.
You can convert a color image into a grayscale by extracting a color plane and a grayscale image can be converted to binary using the threshold function.
Hope this helps!

How to preserve a background color, when generating a PDF file

I am trying to create a PDF file from some application. Please note that the picture in this application has the black background. So I invoke a Print command and set a printer as "Adobe PDF". As a result, I have generated
a brilliant PDF file of my picture, but on the WHITE background. When selecting the Adobe PDF printer, I have looked through all its settings ( in the Adobe PDF settings, I have found several tabs: General, Images, Fonts, Color, Advanced, PDF/X), none of them generated the original background color.
So how can a generate a PDF file, having the original background color (black, in my case) ?
Oleg

Now I feel that the background definition in the Adobe PDF printer and the background definition in the application the Adobe PDF printer is invoked from -- two different things. So I guess how can I define the black background in the Adobe PDF printer? I cannot find such settings.

Hotspots created in Framemaker 11 don't work when generating the PDF

I'm trying to create several hotpots on an image that go to specific locations in a table. I have no problem creating them in Framemaker 11 and the links work fine when I test them using CTL+ALT and the mouse pointer. When I generate the PDF, however, the images has no hotspots and when I click on the image, nothing happens.
Some other information:
I'm using Framemaker 11 on Windows 8.
The image was originally a .png, but I tried it with other image formats and still the same result.
Is there a setting I need to change when I generate the PDF?

I primarily use Save As PDF, and I'm not having problems with any of my other links. I tried printing to the AdobePDF printer, but I get the following error: When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.
I unselected this option, but I'm still getting this error message. Perhaps I need to close Framemaker and open it again? I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the PDF not being able to generate hotspots, though.

Error when generating waveform analog output on NI 6704 card

Hi, I am trying to understand why NI 6704 card appears to be incompatible with what I'm trying to do.
I want to use a waveform to generate an analog output voltage on a NI 6704.
I have a vi in the style of the waveform buffer generator in this example:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4837
which creates the waveform. In my main routine I attempt to create and write a DAQmx ao task using the waveform information, but get this error:
Possible reason(s):
Requested value is not a supported value for this property. The property value may be invalid because it conflicts with another property.
Property: SampTimingType
Requested Value: Sample Clock
You Can Select: On Demand
Task Name: _unnamedTask<7D>
According to documentation the 6704 has no onboard memory... but it's not clear to me how the DAQmx functions are actually sending the data to the card, i.e. if they are attempting to read and store the waveform buffer on to the card, it the lack of memory on the card could be my problem. Is is correct that that is part of my problem? Or since the error has to do with the sample timing clock, is my problem that the 6704 uses software timing?
I've run my program successfully on an NI 6225 card... are there any work arounds for generating such an output on a 6704?
Thanks in advance!

The error has everything to do with software timing. Your device does not have a hardware clock so you get an error when you try to configure it. To output a waveform, you have to do out one point at a time. You can only do this at a low frequency and it will have considerable jitter.

Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

Hi,
On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
QUESTION(s):
1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
Please Note:-
1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
Many Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Bill,
This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
I hope this helps.

Unwanted bookmarks when generating a PDF in FM 8.0

I have a issue about generating bookmarks when creating a PDF. After I have finished my book, I identify my bookmarks while in the PDF setup window. But for some reason, FM creates bookmarks for paragraph tags that I didn't choose. This is happening in particular to my table of contents. I even reconstructed the book file and created a new table of contents, list of figures and list of tables from scratch, paying close attention to every step and I still get the bookmarks I didn't ask for. If anyone has any advice for me I would appreciate it (Adobe or non-Adobe affiliated). My work email is [email protected]... feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance.

The TitleTOC is a marker that is created by FM when we autogenerate a Table of Contents. We also have markers that FM calls Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC, etc.... When we tell FM that we want it to include the paragraph formats Title, Heading1, Heading2 in the TOC (when autogenerating the TOC), FM creates the markers TitleTOC, Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC (respectively). FM creates these markers so that when the book is updated any time in the future, FM doesn't view the TitleTOC, Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC markers as the paragraph formats that they represent.
Funny thing is though...that FM is not assigning bookmarks to the Heading1TOC, Heading2TOC, etc... just the TitleTOC. We think it is a software glitch of some sort (think being the key word there)....but we aren't sure. Maybe you gentlemen have some ideas?
Thanks...

Appearance is different on the screen and when generated to pdf

When i generated a report to pdf, the appearance is different from the one seen on the screen. The paper layout in the report just consists of only boiler plate text.
Can anybody tell me is it wise enough to put the text directly without being enclosed by a frame as it's appearance is different when you run the report on the screen and when you generate to pdf.

Russian characters getting printed as boxes when downloaded to PDF

Hi,
My program downloads smartform output to PDF file to local system.
But the downloaded PDF file contains Boxes instead of Russian characters.
But in print preview, i am able to see the Russian chracters.
Do i need to upload any font to sap system?
Do anybody have ideas to solve this problem.
Thanks,

The notes give you a very good background on why you might see this error; there's lots of notes that have informational character and some - even though for previous releases - can still contain relevant information. I can only advise again to do the simple test and check the PDF and form for the fonts that you used. It's impossible to see any Russian characters if the font doesn't support this. So if your form uses a font that is substituted in the printer driver for your PDF output (depending on how you do the PDF conversion) then you basically have to adjust your printer, so that it supports the font that you have in the script.
As you see the right characters in the print preview, I'm suspecting that the PDF you create ends up with a font that doesn't support Russian characters. OSS note [322998|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/322998|PDF conversion: Cyrillic support] basically explains what you need to do. This process cannot be automated via the notes assistant, thus it cannot be implemented. Depending on your release though, there might be other corrections necessary, e.g. check note [820106|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/820106|CONVERT_OTF: PDF replacement fonts are not embedded] (search OSS for a more comprehensive list applicable for your release).
