Name of PDF output file?

Within Adobe Output Desinger I have set PDF as my presentment target. How do I define what the name of the PDF output file will be and where it is saved?

The "-zdirpath,u[.ext]" parameter on the ^job statement or on the definition for the jfmerge task to create the PDF is what you are looking for. The ",u" option tells the system to create a random name to avoid overwriting duplicates but if you have a specific name in mind, this could look like "-zc:\folder\filename.ext". Also, include the "-aspPDF" parameter to tell jfmerge that the PDF presentment target is to be used.

I am not able to modify the text in pdf output file using pdf editor

Hi,
We have upgrade the xml 5.6.1 in server level. After upgrading this, we are not able to modify the pdf output file. Previously we used to modify text and delete text in pdf file which is generated by oracle Application. As of now we cann't upgrade higher version. Can you suggest what to do?.

Check the xdo configuration file option in the user guides. There should be options that allow / disallow modifying text specifically. If you are in EBS, you should be able to change the configuration file options from the XML Publisher Administrator UI.

Excel file trucation in PDF output file

Having problem with PDF output file as the imported EXCEL table gets truncated - approx. the left 1/2 upper left corner is the only part of the table that appears in the PDF file. Master file displays correctly in PM. No apparent memory issue so any thoughts? Thanks.

A bit more info please.
Windows or Mac, and which versions?
Which version of PM?
How did you import the speadsheet into PM?
How did you create the PDF?
Cropping and displacement of meta-files when creating PDFs from PM is well known and there are work-arounds.
The long term answer is move on to InDesign.

Chinese character in PDF output file ?

I have trouble to display Chinese characters (traditional Chinese) on PDF output file. Is there anyone can help ?

Reports supports PDF 1.1.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader cannot read .PDF report files generated by Report Builder if the report contains certain types of non- English character set languages (typically multi-byte) or Unicode character set.
Same with reports 6.
Install Acrobat Reader 4.X. Print to Acrobat Distiller printer. Works for Baltics.

PDF output file from Image Capture corrupted

This problem occurs only when scanning multiple page documents into image capture, the lower 1/4 of the first 2 pages are unreadable blurs. The page shows up ok in the Image capture preview window, but the PDF output is corrupted. The printer is a Brother MFC-7820N, I am scanning 150 dpi grayscale, US letter, no image correction, to PDF. The problem occurs with both of my computers, Quad G5 10.5.8, and a MacBook 10.5.8, this has happened since I purchased the printer, I was running 10.4 at the time. I have just scanned 1 page at a time with no problem, but now I have a large amount of documents to scan and I get the corrupt files. If anyone has seen this and found a solution, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Ah perfect, you made me aware of a feature kink I didn’t know about! When you import stuff using Image Capture, it goes into /private/tmp/Image Capture_Import.(string of numbers and letters).
You can navigate there by going to the Finder, hitting Command-Shift-G, and typing in /private/tmp—if the folder still exists, as it usually does for some time, sometimes even until the next restart or so—you can see the folders which should include one or more of thoe Image Capture_Import.something folders and find your files.
Incidentally, if you want to find a “system” file, i.e., one that’s in a location normally hidden by the Finder, you can:
1. Open up a new Spotlight/Find window in the Finder, and start searching by name.
2. Next to where it says Search: This Mac… etc. there’s a + button. Click that, then
3. From the dropdown menu choose Other… and look in the list for “System files” and check the “In Menu” checkbox for it.
4. Hit OK.
5. Choose “System Files” which is now in the dropdown, choose “are included” from the next dropdown.
Be careful what you do with files you find using this method. It will show everything, including files essential to running your Mac properly, so unless you know exactly what you’re doing, don’t just start dragging files off this window onto your Desktop or anything, try to copy them instead by option-dragging (holding down the option key while dragging)—that way, you’re only making copies, not moving a file from where it’s supposed to be, and your Mac can find it.
Hope this helps! If you can’t find your files this way, there are other programs which can undelete and perform other operations to recover data… this happens to everyone, no matter how long you’ve been a user.

Specifying name of Automator output file?

The Automator action "Combine PDF Pages" has an output of type "PDF Files". How do I tell it to save the file with a particular name in a particular place? I run the workflow and there's no error message, but I don't see a new file.

P.S. Now I see that I can make the output file show up in a particular location by using a "Move Finder Items" action. But it shows up with a nonsense name. I would have thought that "Rename Finder Items" would be able to set the name, but I don't see how.

Is there a pdf output file size limitation?

Hi,
I have an rtf invoice template that worked fine in test environments. Now that it has been migrated to Production, it works except for this one invoice that has created a meta data XML file that is 2 MB, which is not that large, is it? Additionally, I cannot open the metadata file in html, it just hangs, but can in a text editor, so I have been chopping up the file into smaller pieces and can get pdf output of around 175 pages worth.
I've tried it with different sets of data from this file, and they work, just not the whole file. Is there some setting required for this to work?

Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?

Append a file with date and name in the output file

I am running a script which produce an output in excel file, I would like the server name and the date in the output file, Both the servername and date has declared at the beginning of the script as
$server = test1
$date = Get-Date -uformat %Y-%m-%d
I am able to append either server or date but not both. Could you please help me out on this.
I would like the output file as '
server_report_date.xls

I got this working by
"C:\Aravind\Scripts\$server-"+"Report-" +"$Date"+".xls"
Thanks!!

Regression testing on PDF output files from Reports?

My current client is looking to do more automated regression testing of the output (content) of their reports, most of which are output from Reports6i into Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. Is anyone currently using or aware of a tool (QARun, WinRunner, etc.) that will do this? (Most of the tools can do a binary comparison of the PDF files that were output, but we need something that will look into the PDF files themselves and tell us where any differences are found in the actual content (text) of the report itself.)
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

Dear Nick,
Just ensure a printer is configured. This can be done by typing in echo $PRINTER at the $Prompt.
If it returns null then configurea printer and i fell this should resolve your problem,
Since it did resolve my problem.

Urgent: How to break pdf output file in multiple pdf files without bursting

Hi all,
I am developing a rtf template which will take a xml file which contains data for many employees. Now the requirement is to create a individual pdf file for each user. I know that it can be done through Oracle bi publisher's interface through bursting but we don't have that option. We have to do it at template level.
Right now my template produces report for multiple employees on a new page.
<?for-each-group@section:row;./USERS_SYS_ID?><?split-by-page-break:?>
<?end for-each-group?>
Is there any method like <?split-by-file-break:?> by which each employee report can be started in a new output file.
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, George!
I will try your suggestion.
While waiting for a response, I ran into another problem:
Some of the PDF documents I am to work from are "protected," meaning I can read them but not extract any pages or click to add them to a list of files to import...but I need to extract some or all pages from it. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks!

Name syntax of output file from FMLE 3.2 ?

Hi,
I'm using FMLE3.2 to live streaming and save output files (sample.f4v). My output files name is:
sample.20120424_100235.f4v
sample.20120424_100438.f4v
sample.20120424_100641.f4v
sample.20120424_100840.f4v
I think 20120424 is date, today is 04/24/2012. But I don't understand 100235, 100438, 100641, 100840... What is it?
How to distinguish between the files to play in the order ?

Hi,
the short text description for WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR is "Separate Columns by Tabs in Case of ASCII Download", so why do you expect a comma?
Try SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then download.
And no, GUI_DOWNLOAD is only for download via SAP GUI to a users computer.

Using Field values as part of PDF output file

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use information in the *.dat file to create the name of the *.pdf file which will be sent (by email) to our customer automaticly.
So let say there is a field "GLOBAL ORDNO" with a value "1042193" in the datastream and I want to have the PDF to have the filename "confirmation for order 1042193"
Is this, or a similar construction, possible?

You would have to write your own program, perhaps using VB, to locate the ^GLOBAL ORDNO line and then extract the data from the next physical line. The program would then put this data in the jfserver.ini file as the value for one of the User#= variables (such as "user1") that are defined there. Then the jfmerge step that creates the PDF could reference that variable (-zc:\temp,@user1..pdf). I've never used the user variables so I don't know that you can reference them like that but the manual seems to indicate it will work. It would be easy to test by manually changing the jfserver.ini file to see if it is possible. If it works, then the custom agent to extract the value and set the variable could be written. (Manually changing the file may not work because I see that the manual indicates these variables are reset at the beginning of each job, but it also states that default values can be defined within the jfserver.ini file - testing will let you know.)
Check out the "Creating a Custom Agent" chapter in the "Working with Central" manual. In my Windows version 5.5 manual it is section 6 and starts on page 45. This not only tells what is required to set up Central to run the agent but explains about the user variables. Section 4 in the same manual explains about using substitution variables.
Unfortunately, if you aren't a programmer it may be difficult to create the custom agent to extract the value and create the "jetform.rsp" file for setting the variable in the jfserver.ini file. We have many custom agents but none do anything like this, though it would be a simple program to write.
