Junk characters in pdf file generated

Hi,
While generating invoice from VF02, i can see the print preview iin the screen perfect ,but when i generate PDF the russian characters are getting displayed as XXXXXX in PDF. I tired changing the font in SAP script from COURCYR to some other fonts... It gets displayed but the layout is disturbed.
Please suggest some solutions. What could be the possible cause of errors...?

Do you have PASTA setup correctly on this instance?
Can you print the PostScript file with no issues?
Is the issue with PDF reports only?

END;
end loop;
end;

All you need to do - is that you should use the column data type as Long Raw.Why would you recommend using LONG RAW which has been deprecated in favour of BLOB for years?
You can find a simple example of inserting a file into a BLOB column using JDBC here. The Oracle JDBC docs are also worth a read. Find out more.

How to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat?

I simply want to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat. However the option as indicated by the helpdesk is not available in my pdf generator. I am working with apple? Can someone tell me how to pass protect my files?
Can some one help me out here?

Hi josr,
You can password protect your files in Adobe Acrobat by choosing File > Properties when you have the PDF open, and clicking the Security tab. Here is a Help topic that goes into detail: Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords.
If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try! Feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Where is a PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?

Hi,
In BIEE11g, I created an Agent for scheduling to generate PDF files from Analysis.
In tab: "Delivery Content", I choose PDF in field "Format", and BIEE will automatically chooise option "Deliver as attachment".
At the same time, in tab: "Destinations", I just choose "Home Page and Dashboard" for field: "User Destinations".
After scheduling time, an Alert is generated, and there is data and graph embedded in the content of the Alert. However, I don't find any URL for downloading PDF file. I want to make use of BIEE Agent that so that I can keep snapshot data for the report.
Anyone know where where is the PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?
Thanks

A nice way to achieve this is to export the reports to the server's filesystem using the Actions tab > Invoke Server Script. On a Windows server you can write a little VBScript or Javascript and pass it the PDF file which then gets saved to disk. I have some code if you are interested - contact me via my blog.

Chinese Characters in Spool converted to Junk characters in PDF

Hi,
I have spool generated from Script , the Spool shows me Chinese Characters.When I am trying to convert the Spool to PDF using Program RSTXPDFT4 , the PDF contains Junk Characters instead of Chinese Characters.Please let me know how to get the correct Chinese Characters in PDF.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
For the spool you try to convert to PDF, which device type was this spool created by. It must be created via a Chinese device type like e.g. CNSAPWIN. The form used to create the spool must have language key ZH. The fonts used in the form for the Chinese characters must be a Chinese font like CNSONG or CNHEI.
Alternatively, if you create the spool via Unicode deviec type SWINCF, then the font and the form language are not important. It should work to convert the spool to PDF regardless of the language ley or font used in the form.

Aidan

Empty CreatorDate field in PDF files generated by Report 6i on Windows 7

When generating a PDF file from Reports 6i on Windows 7, the CreatorDate in the PDF file header is empty.
Even worse: its opening parenthesis "(" is not closed. See example here below.
This generates several problems with Adobe Reader 10 like:
- text searching does not work although you can select text and do a copy paste,
- File/Properties does not work (nothing happens when selecting this menu item),
- File/Save As PDF generates the Adobe Reader error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)."
We do not have this issue with Windows XP.
Any idea?
%PDF-1.1
1 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Developer 2000)
/CreatorDate ( <---- here is the error: missing value and missing ")"
/Author (Oracle Reports)
/Producer (Oracle PDF driver)
/Title (LETTRE_TEST_PDF_REPORT.pdf)
>>

As you probably know, Developer 6i is not supported on Windows 7. Search the Forms and Reports forums for tips like:
Install in XP compatiblity mode.
Run in XP mode with Virtual PC.

Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

Hi all,
We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment.
For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks and Regards,

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server

I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?

Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.

No pdf file generated

Hello, i use Acrobat XI Standard and i can't generate pdf-files from autocad in A0, A1 and A2 format via the pdf printer. I have created the user-defined page-layouts for the A0, A1 and A2 format, since these are not available as standard formats in acrobat. If i create a pdf file in A3 or A4 format everything works fine but in A0, A1 and A2 format, no pdf file is generated. Autocad reports that printing hasbeen succesfully completed and also the printer queue brings no error message but in the end there is no pdf file in the output folder. I have tried every possibility and even the phone support of adobe could not help me. The last thing i tried is to generate the pdf file without autocad. I clicked on the dxf file with the right mouse button and the choosed "convert into adobe pdf". Then the error message "Missing pdf maker file. Do you want to start the repair mode of the installation program?" came up. I startet the repair mode and it finished with no error message but the problem has not been solved. So if anywhone has an idea how to solve my problem, please help me. Thank you.

It is not a standard feature of Acrobat Standard, but i have created the user-defined page-layouts for A0, A1 and A2 and the adobe support told me that i proceeded the right way. Also the handbook says that paper sizes of 38.100.000 cm x 38.100.000 cm can be defined if the printer settings-menu includes the option "user-dedined page-layouts". I can't believe that pdf files in A0, A1 and A2 format can't be generatet with acrobvat standard since this is possible with every freeware. Why did I buy this expensive program if every free software can create A0, A1 and A2 page-layouts?

Find and Replace Japanese characters in pdf file on iPhone

Hi eveybody !
I want to find and replace Japanese characters in pdf on iPhone.
I using zlib to deflate stream - endstream block and extract text.It's work fine with latin-text.
But when i work with japanese characters , I don't know how to do it ?
I decode a sample japanese pdf file, and I know that each Japanese characters are performances as hex string : "<01b7><0e230a23>..."
But i don't know how to convert Japanese characters to the hex string like that.
Can evrybody help me?
Thanks!

Searching is the same process as extracting - since it's about turning page content into something understandable. So that still remains what you need to learn/understand - of course, referring back to all the previous sections about font formats, etc.
Replacing in PDF is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for two reasons - subset fonts and explicit glyph positioning. Have you determine (conceptually, if nothing else) how you plan to addresses these two issues?
PDF doesn't do UTF8 for page content - so don't worry about that.

Junk characters in ldt file

Hi Experts,
Am a newbie to oracle apps.
Iam using 'messages' to store and display arabic characters in xml report and it is working fine . While migrating the report form one instance to another instance by downloading ldt file, the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in the ldt file.
Any pointers to resolve this issue will be helpful.
Thanks,
Santhosh

I am using Windows 7 and used notepad to view the ldt file.
The arabic characters are converted to some other format like junk.
I tried uploading the ldt file in the same instance.
After uploading the ldt file in the same instance,the the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in front end while checking.
Are the arab characters are converted to some other format in ldt file?
i didnt tried uploading the ldt file in someother different instance to check for the correctness of arab characters in front end.Set NLS_LANG as suggested in my previous reply before you download the data and it should be in Arabic (assuming your database/application characterset support Arabic language and your client can read Arabic characters) -- FNDLOAD problem with Arabic font
Thanks,
Hussein
