Need to print Xcelsius dashboard to pdf file

I have a customer that wants to be able to print a displayed dashboard to a pdf file. Does anyone know if there are custom components that can do this or be created to do this? We have suggested they install a print to pdf utility as a selectable printer but they don't want to do that. When a dashboard is displayed they want to be able to print directly to a pdf file.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Pizzaman,
I will mention this to the team. I don't think our customer would want it that way but who knows. Currently they have a Flex framework with our dashboards inside of their framework. They have a print to pdf button for their flex scorecard and feel it should be easy enough for us to create the same thing in our dashboards. We don't use flex in our environment. Their flex stuff is on their servers and our dashboards are on our servers. We may be moving everything to our side of the house soon so a lot of things might change. When I tried to test our dashboards as exported to pdf I ran into security problems with some Adobe parts of the whole thing. We have a lot of Adobe stuff locked down because of security concerns. Being a defense contractor that's a way of life.

Not able to print xcelsius dashboards from pdf files.

FYI. In case this has you stumped on how to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf you are not alone.You may have noticed that it is not possible to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf documents. It is not possible to actually print any active embedded flash document from an Adobe pdf document and this behaviour is by design. You can however print your dashboards if they are exported to other formats such as such as MS Word or MS Excel. Xcelsius 2008 does include a 'Print' button which you can add to your dashboards to allow your users to print them.

I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

Dear everyone
I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
I read a european commission document explaining that
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
I checked the following web page
Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
that is recommending the following:
The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
unable to open these pdf.
Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
Best regards

Printing Word document as pdf files whilst retaining active internal links

Hi,
I have a Word file (Word 2004 for Mac Version 11.3.5) with active links to various sections within the document.
However, when I print this as a pdf file all the links become inactive. Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this?
Kind regards,
Damon

I tested this problem and got some interesting results. First of all, I created a document in Word 2004 (11.3.5) with two links, one to an external web site and the other to another Word document on my Mac. I then printed the file to pdf and opened the doc in Preview. Neither links were active, although as you have seen they look like a hyperlink. Opening the same document in Acrobat 8, the external link works but the internal link is still not active.
Next, I printed the Word document via the Adobe PDF 8.0 driver. The same result occured as above. The external link was active in Acrobat but not Preview, while the internal link was no good for either application.
I did some searching. Mactopia has no mention of this problem. There is a posting on Macosxhints with the same problem, but no fix. So unless someone else out there has an answer you may be out of luck for your internal link...

Printing a password protected PDF file using acroread from Unix?

We installed v8.1.3 acroread on the server but we are unable to print a password protected PDF file from command line in Unix? cat <passprotected>.PDF | /usr/bin/acroread -toPostScript | lp -dprinter we get the following error "lp: Error - stdin is empty, so no job has been sent." Please advice Thank you in advance. MSUDHAN.

Hello, If the pdf file has a doc open password or if printing is disallowed you will not be able to print it using the commandline. Any other pdf can be printed using the same command : cat a.pdf | acroread -toPostScript | lp -d <printer> Regards, Rishi

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

Printing a package of PDF files double sided

I am printing a package of PDF files that changes based on how questions are answered, they print double-sided. I want certain pages to not print on the back of another. Is there any way to dynamically insert page breaks dependent on the forms included in the package? Thanks,

Hi,
You might experiment with a page or two first.
1.Choose File > Print.
2.From the Subset pop-up menu in the Print Range area, select Even Pages Only.
3.Click OK or Print.
4.If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank sheet so the final odd page has a sheet to print on.
5.Put the stack of printed paper back into the supply (source) paper tray so that the unprinted sides print. Point the top of the pages toward the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.
6.Choose File > Print and select Odd Pages Only from the Subset menu.
7.Select the Reverse Pages option. In this scenario, the Reverse pages option ensures that the page sequence is correct.
8.Click OK or Print.

I have an email that has my Certificate of Completion as part of the email. I can't save it to my desktop since the whole site of my email messages appear again!
I need to upload my Certificate of Completion of a course I completed onto a professional website so I can
get credit for attending it.
I think it has to be a PDF file.

I misunderstood. You want to print the entire email in a way that looks decent.
Most email sites have a "printable view" link or button. This may be in an obscure location. For example, on Outlook.com, it is on the ... menu (last item on the menu bar when viewing a message).
If you want to PDF the email, you can print it to a PDF printer driver. Examples include:
* PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/
* PDF Creator - http://www.pdfforge.org/

How to print bookmark into a PDF File?

Hi community
I have a PDF-File with a few pages and need to have on each page the bookmark printed as a text.
I tried with Javascript, and can print the filename but not yet the bookmarks.
I have following script:
app.addMenuItem({cName:"Print Filename", cParent:"File", nPos:20, cExec:"PrtFN();"});
//Print Filename to Pages
function PrtFN()
for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
 var fd = this.addField("Print Bookmark", "text", p, [563,519,790,545]);
 fd.fillColor=color.white;
 fd.textSize=14;
 fd.textColor=color.red;
 fd.value = (this.documentFileName);
Do someone of you know how to print the bookmarks, something like "fd.value = (this.documentBookmark);" ?
Thanks for helpful answers!

It is possible to get a bookmark name from the bookmark object but as noted a reverse lookup for a bookmark to a given page is not fool proof.
You could write a script that walks the bookmark tree and then use execute to go to the page that book mark points too and then fill-in the bookmark name. This assumes all bookmarks perform the go to page/view action and do not run a script or open another PDF. You may also need to account for more than one bookmark pointing to a page.

Printing a Dashboard in pdf format with bigger font size ?

Hi,
When we are trying to print a Dashboard with few reports in pdf format, the font size seems to be very small in the print, and it is not readable.
Is there a way where in we can make the pdf's print a bit larger?
Thanks

Yes, at last I managed to change the look and feel of the generated PDF, including the font.
The attributes of all the objects that can be affected in the pdf output are kept in 2 .fst files: for general attributes in pdfstyle.fst and for pivottable attributes in pivot.pdf.
These 2 files are present for every skin, like Oracle_10 and Siebel77.
Try a global find and replace of 0.75pt to 4.0pt and 8pt to 20pt in pivot.fst. Save the file, restart the presentation server, log in again and try print to pdf of an existing pivot table. It will have thick borders and a big font.
I still do not understand that the same attributes are kept in 2 different files. For a color-change it is necassary to change the file views.css and the .fst file(s).
Good luck changing fonts and colors.

Remote print form automatically to pdf files

Hi everyone,
    The user want to implement a request like follows:
    1. quotation will send to a webservice for approval.
    2. when the quotation is approved, webservice will call a RFC to update the status of this quotation in SAP.
    The problem start here.
    3. inside the RFC call, SAP need to print the Quotation FORM automatically to a PDF file which will be named using Document No. date and time. Then a record need to be sent to another CRM with the PDF as an attachment.
    Is there any way to solve this requirements?
   The biggest question for me is how to tigger the form print and print it into pdf.
Thanks for prompt response
Regards
Sean

Hi Sean
It is possible like this:
Maintain two output types for the same program of form output.
1. Maintain output type as EDI i.e. Idoc from SAP to Webservice. Say Output type ZWEB.
2. Once approved by webservice, call RFC to update SAP. This RFC will responsible to trigger second output type, say ZPDF.
ZPDF will trigger in sales order with transmission medium as 5- external send having name using "Document No. date and time" (this can be achieve by ABAP program for smartform). This e-mail will sent to e-mail id provided with PDF attachment.
Please discuss with ABAP consultant having good command in Smartforms.

Fop printing returns 0 byte pdf files

Hi,
Spent the whole day trying to get a PDF document out of APEX using Fop, but no luck sofar. Interestingly "fop" in Dutch means: tease, fool, trick, hoax, badger, vex, swindle, hoodwink
I've tried OC4J/Apache Fop:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#05
I've tried Cocoon Fop:
http://carlback.blogspot.com/2007/03/apex-cocoon-pdf-and-more.html
Both OC4J and Cocoon work fine when trying their sample pages.
I've setup the Apex print server parameters pointing first to the oc4j printserver and then to the cocoon printserver.
This is as far as the documentation gets me. How do I get a document produced? Here is what I did:
I created a form with a sql_query report, entered some query (select * from user_tables) and enabled PDF printing.
Both OC4J and Cocoon produce a zero byte pdf document.
I wonder if the printserver a being called at all since no activity is logged in ...\cocoon\WEB-INF\logs\cocoon.log
How do I find out what is going on. Is Apex calling the print server at all? What logs to check, any additional info to be sent to logfiles?
Another strange behaviour. When I turned on printing for an existing report region the print link has the following URL:
http://ngdwsrv/pls/apex/f?p=107:2:278743463863218506:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R3825265334087776571_nlThis results in : 404 The requested URL /pls/apex/f was not found on this server.

Hello!
Help me, please!
I need to print reports in PDF.
What I did:
1 I installed Apache Tomcat 6.0.14
2 I installed Cocoon 2.1.10
All works fine! http://localhost:8080/Cocoon opened OK
3 I copied fop_post to \apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cocoon\ , now I have apache-tomcat-6.0.14\webapps\cocoon\fop_post\sitemap.xmap
4 In apex I choose : Oracle BI Publiser - Standart Support
print server host address 192.168.1.112
print server port 8080
print server script \cocoon\fop_post\
Now I make simple report consists from 1 column from a simple table like emp table, and choose.
Output format - PDF
Report Layout - Default Report Layout
Apex is English.
I read that can be problem if I'll write use point in (example) 0.5 and everywhere I used 1.
When I run the programm and click print button I have error message : Acrobat could not open 'a[1].pdf' because is either not a supported file type or because
the file has been damage ......
I saved this file and opened with text editor but there was nothing and size of this file is 0 kb.
PLEASE, explain me where is problem and how to solve it?
Thank you!!!
