Microsoft Indexing Service and Dynamic PDF (XFA)

I setup Indexing Services in Windwos Server 2003, and I confirmed that it can index (out of the box) Static PDF (created LiveCycle Desinger), in addition to other file types.
However, the Dynamic PDF (also created with LiveCycle Desinger) are not indexed, or they do not show in the search result. Any one knows how to index also the dynamic PDF files under Microsoft
Indexing Services?

I installed "ifilter60.exe" on Windwos 7 (work laptop) and also installed "IFilterShop_XmlFilter_SE_1_0_Eval.exe" to index XML content. It is clear that Dynamic PDF is not indexed. Luckly, I am storing XML Data in a separate file for each PDF, which will be very helpful. I can search files using XML content instead, and since I am following a standard naming convension, I can easily relate the found results in XML to PDF files.
See snapshots below:
but, when I search against file name, I can get results, but still PDF content is not visible:
Hope my fidings will be of help to others.

Win2k Index service and PDF files

Hi there,
is there a plug-in for Win2K to let the Index service work on PDF files as well? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
I have changed the host already from localhost into the hostname of the linux server. I tried this also with the FQDN of the server. I have entered the following entry
Hostname linux = sap12
In the URL generator service = http://sap12
Must I restart the portal?

Ifilter not working with Microsoft Indexing Service

I'm running the Adobe Reader 9.3.1 on our Windows 2003 Server utilizing the Indexing Service. Our indexing was working until something changed and we lost all indexing for any pdf. Other documents were operating fine.
I ran the install for the latest reader believing that maybe some other update had caused the problem. I've set up a test environment with a clean Windows 2003 Standard Server utilizing the Indexing Service and successfully recreated the issue. On the clean server, I installed Adobe Reader 9.3.1, created a catalog with 5 pdf files in the target folder, indexed the files, and attempted to search using the query tool available for managing the Indexing Service.
Adobe ifilter v6 solves the problem but does not generate the Characterization (Abstracts) nor is the VPath available. I've been at this for two days trying different alternatives, searching the web, and coming up with a whole lot of nothing.
Any thoughts, hints, or ideas appreciated!

Update: I uninstalled 9.3.1, installed 8.2.0, manually added an item to the registry and I'm indexing and searching again. I had manually added the line for the 9.3.1 install as well but to no avail.
Here's the working edit
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
Multi-String Value: DLLsToRegister
Add "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRdIF.dll" to the end of the string as an extra line.
Viola, you're working again.
By the way, indexing doesn't work in 9.3.0 either.

How can I fix a document having a microsoft Word logo and a "PDF" file extention?

I am a subscriber to Adobe Create PDF. When I scan in documents from my HP 8600 all in one, it shows up in my computer with a pdf file extention, but with a microsoft WORD logo. I cannot simply open it with a double click and see a PDF adobe display. Instead I get a window generated from WORD that has garbage symbols and unreadable cybertext which I cannot convert. How can the be fixed?

Thanks, it worked.

Tagged PDF, Visual Studio and Dynamic PDF

I am a noob with the Indesign but I have hands on experience with the Photoshop and Illustrator.
I am trying to create a tagged pdf form which will be used as a receipt after the web application is complete and the information are entered into that tagged pdf using Dynamic PDF.
I created the form with information like
Name Textbox
Address Textbox and so forth.
Dynamic pdf just prints the data and it doesn't matter if its textbox or not.
So, any suggestions on how to tag the pdf properly so that it read all the information in the form along with the information printed by the dynamic pdf?
I am using cloud indesign cc.

Hi,
Please follow the following steps to tag pdf manually-
1. Choose Window > Utilities > Tags to display the Tags panel.
2. Choose View > Structure > Show Structure to display the Structure pane, to the left of the Document window.
3. Choose Add Untagged Items from the Structure pane menu.
4. Select a page item in the document.
5. Select a tag in the Tags panel.
Note the following suggested uses for certain imported tags:
Artifact : The Artifact tag lets you hide page items, such as page numbers or unimportant objects, when viewing the exported
PDF file in Reflow view, which displays only tagged items; see your Adobe Acrobat documentation. This is especially useful for
viewing PDF files on a handheld device or in other PDF readers.
Cell : Use this tag for table cells.
Figure : Use this tag for placed graphics. The Figure tag is applied to all untagged graphics placed in your document when you
choose Add Untagged Items.
Paragraph tags (P, H, H1–H6) : These tags have no effect on the exported PDF text when viewed in Reflow view. However,
they can be useful in some situations when exporting a PDF file to HTML format.
Story : Use this tag for stories. The Story tag is applied to all untagged text frames when you choose Add Untagged Items. For
example, suppose you have an InDesign document formatted with three paragraph styles: Head1, Head2, and Body. First,
map these paragraph styles to the H1, H2, and P tags, respectively. Next, export to PDF. Finally, when you export the PDF
document to HTML or XML in Acrobat, the paragraphs tagged as H1, H2, and P will display appropriately (such as with large
bold letters in H1) in a web browser.
i hope this will help you, in case not then let me know.

Difference b/w static and dynamic pdf

hi...
I want to know how can I check for a pdf as "Dynamic or static" in a process?
Is there any specific property which can be checked through (or in) the process?
I guess, content type for both will be "application/pdf".
Please, let me know. its really urgent for me.

Java Web service and dynamic entry list

Hello,
In my VC mode, I have a combo box with a dynamic entry list. This entry list call a web service function which the source is :
public EntryListBean[] getEntryList() {
          EntryListBean[] liste = new EntryListBean[2];
          liste[0] = new EntryListBean();
                liste[0].setText("1");
          liste[0].setValue("Liste 1");
          liste[1] = new EntryListBean();
                liste[2].setText("2");
          liste[1].setValue("Liste 2");
          return liste;
In output port, i have:
VALUE -
> @value
TEXT    -
> @text
When i test this function with 'Test Data Service', it work but when i deploy the model, there is nothing in the combo box. Do you have the same problem ?
I have installed NWDW v7.0 SP9 with Visual Composer patch 2.
Regards

Hi Francois,
Did u try using dynamic entry list with a BAPI. Is that working fine?
Actually, I faced the same problem. I used a drop-down list, in which dynamic entry list works fine in case of a BAPI and appears blank in case of a webservice. I applied the latest patch files mentioned in a SAP note. People in forum asked me to do that. Its mentioned in the note that, "Dynamic entry list with webservice bug is fixed in the released patch file". But even after applying the latest patch files, it did not work for me. So, i think this bug is yet to be fixed.

Kavitha.

Microsoft Word 7 and Adobe PDF 9

When converting a Word document to PDF and by chance you need
to edit the PDF using the touch up text tool, we have users that
are having problems with character spacing and lines moving. It
only happens after you save the document. Does anyone know what may
be causing this problem?

While the Touchup Text tool is handy for *minor* touchups it is best practice to "fix" content in the authoring file(s) and output a PDF that reflects the "fixes".
The PDF format is not a format intended to robustly support format / layout / word processing functionality.
Your users are experiencing that.
Be well...

IFilter - Index service gets stuck on PDF files

Hello, I'm running iFilter v6.0 on Windows Server 2003. The server takes a couple seconds to index a text file, but as soon as it runs into a PDF it gets stuck. It will never finish indexing the PDF. If I try to delete the PDF, I get an error saying the file is in use. I'm able to delete the file once I stop the index service. I really need to index PDF files for our website.
I already tried stopping the index service, uninstalling iFilter, rebooting, reinstall iFilter, reboot, empty the index catalog, start the index service, and finally reindex.

hello Ira:
I'm afraid this question will not get answered here-best to go to Apple discussions-printing and Faxing at this link:

Indexing PDFs with legacy Indexing Service

I have a .NET application that uses the old legacy Indexing Service on Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit). What do I need to install to make it index PDFs? I've installed XI Reader (as I understood that the iFilter was built into this now?) and I've restarted Indexing Service and done a full re-sync, but it still doesn't seem to be finding any PDFs (also tried a reboot).
Thanks

It appears that the answer was to uninstall XI and install 9.5. I believe Adobe made changes to the iFilter from 10.x onwards so that it no longer supports an old method that is used by Indexing Service. This thread was useful: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5115337#5115337

Essbase Vs. Microsoft Analysis Services

Hello,We are comparing Essbase w/EIS to microsoft analysis services and I seem to have a problem. We have an outline with 8 dimensions and one of the dimensions has almost 84,000 members. On an essbase sun solaris server with 4cpu 4gb ram the cube is about 6GB and takes over 4 hours to calc(no formulas just calc all). On a single cpu windows 2k machine analysis services runs the same data into the same type of outline and rolls it up in about 30 minutes. To be fair I ran the same cube on the windows box in essbase and killed it after 13 days of calculating without finishing.The cubes are the same, have the same datasource and the same members(or whatever they are called in AS2k) and the results are the same.Any ideas why AS2k is so much faster? I'm loathe to switch to a Microsoft product, but the numbers don't lie. This is only 6 months of data and we are planning to have 4 years worth before long. The calc time is unacceptable in essbase.Thanks,-Brian

Well, the decision of which tool to choose should not be a function of who the vendor is - you should choose the right tool for the job.No - numbers don't lie - AS2K is much faster for straight up consolidations than Essbase. However, there are a few things to consider:1) Essbase tends to be a bit faster for querying (ad hoc analysis) than analysis services. Do some benchmarking on end user performance.2) Essbase scales better for large numbers of queries than AS2K - try hitting the server with lots of queries at once and see what happens.3) What is the purpose of this app? Is it just straight up consolidation? Is there going to be write back? If not, are there other apps you are looking to develop that will? Essbase is stronger than AS2K with respect to write back.4) Are there any complex calculation requirements? AS2K does not have a procedural calculation language. Calculations in AS2K are dynamic - calculated members and cells.5) Do you have ragged hierarchies? These are are hierarchies that are not symetrical - AS2K does not consolidate ragged hierarchies, so they are slower to query if they are large.6) Is the Essbase model tuned? I don't know how much Essbase work you have done, but that could be a factor (note - AS is usually faster than Essbase on rollups no matter what the configuration, all other things being equal).7) What front ends are you looking at for this tool? Who is the audience? Have you looked at the choices of front end tools of AS2K vs Essbase?My point here is that there is more to consider than just calc time. Sure, its great if a big cube calcs in 30 minutes, but what good is that if end user performance is poor, or the required calculations are not available?Anyway, just food for thought.Regards,Jade==================================Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Preventing the Microsoft Antimalware Service to start automatically

HI
I
installed Microsoft Security Essentials
on

64-bit.
How
do I turn it off
properly
and
to prevent that
this

THANKS

Balubeto

Microsoft Security Essentials should be able to start at start-up automatically to keep your computer protected in real time.
Disabling Microsoft Security Essentials will risk the security of the computer .
However, if you want to disable MSE from starting up follow the steps:
Click Start -> in Search programs and files type
Services.msc and hit the Enter key ->
In the Service window scroll down to the service Microsoft Antimalware Service and set the
Startup Type to Manual or Disable . -> Click Apply and close open windows then
restart the computer.
To disable real-time protection only :
Open MSE -> click Settings and under
real-time protection -> uncheck the option Turn ON real-time protection

Select multiply value in Microsoft Report Service

Hi everyone!
I'm in the process of creating
a report in Microsoft Report Services and I have a one problem. My report is to show max, min, avg temperature in
specified room. I need to make such a
filter values: when I select one value of parameter (e.g. min temperature) must to show this one value in
the chart and table, when I select two value (e.g. min and max temperature) must to show this two values etc. On the screen is choice values of parameter "Rodzaj wykresu" http://pl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=f0x9ad&s=8#.U_o4p2OaKyE
. I have a problem with Expression. My parameter have a multiply values and when I write sign "=" is error. I have no idea how this show or hidden values...
This Expression http://i62.tinypic.com/2s6m4o7.png is ok, when in parameter properties is http://pl.tinypic.com/?t=postupload and isn't move when I choice allow multiply values...

I thought, when
I want to make
a window to select my values (this: http://i61.tinypic.com/11hv5n9.jpg) I must have a multiple values (in parameter properties select "allow multiple values"). I try your idea tommorow morning (I'm
not working now).
I'm a beginner in sql (I know him
from 18. August). Thank You.
Yep
Once you check allow multiple values then you'll get parameter dropdown as per screenshot and you will be able to select multiple values which gets passed as a comma separated list and then you will be able to use In operator in filter expression.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Color shift in dynamic PDF

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the variation in the rendering of RGB colors between a Static PDF and Dynamic PDF saved from Designer. I created a simple 1 page file in Designer with a rectangle and the following custom fill:
R: 28
G: 227
B: 182
Then, I saved the file as a dynamic PDF and then re-opened and saved as a static PDF. When I opened them both in Acrobat, the color difference was very noticeable. The dynamic PDF muted the color and made it appear almost blue. Interestingly, this color is closer to a CMYK equivalent, but I can't imagine that dynamic PDFs are rendered against a CMYK profile.
Any insight into how the color works and how to control it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Nissan,
Fair play to your eyesight. We tried replicating that here and the difference is subtle. If anything the dynamic forms display the colours correctly (82,227,182) while the static PDF colours are offset slightly (43,228,184). This is on Acrobat Pro v9 on a Mac.
We then tried opening the files in Acrobat Pro Extended v9 on Windows and all colours were correct.
Interesting, but can't explain ;-)

Adobe Reader X and Indexing Service - pdf content not searchable

Install Adobe Reader X on a Windows 2003 machine with Indexing Service installed. Create a catalog (folder) and point indexing service at it so that documents are indexed. Verify indexing is working with a simple text file. New copy a pdf file into the folder. You will see in Computer Management the file appear to be indexed. Now simply query the catalog - the file contents are not indexed. The iFilter that gets installed should allow indexing service to index pdf file contents and return search results when the catalog is queried.

Hi MT.Freelance
The way that "Welcome Pages" are done in Acrobat X has changed from Acrobat 9, what you are seeing looks like a bug related to these changes.
If you would like to log a bug on this issue the form for bug reports can be found here https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=E WQQL
