One page reports generating blank PDFs

We have reports using DESFORMAT=PDF that appear blank if the resulting report is a single page, AND Acrobat 5.0 is configured to display PDF's within the browser.
We are having no problems seeing multiple page reports. And... these 1-page reports display normally when launched outside the browser. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
We would like to be able to view these one page PDFs WITHIN the browser to avoid having to show every user how to reconfigure Acrobat.
Any clues on this topic will be helpful, thanks.

Jeff, we had the same problem and the only solution we could find that consistently worked was to open the pdf in a separate window.

Each page of Oracle Report Generates separate pdf file.

I have a problem that i want that oracle report runs for one time and generates sepatate pdf files for each oracle report page.eg. if there are 8 page of report then 8 pdf files should generate (one pdf file for each page) but the condition is that the print job is set to NO and page range should not be given each time.

What version of Reports are you using?
If it's 10g then have a look at Report Bursting as this should enable you to send the report to multiple files based on a repeating group.

One page "report" from an AppleWorks database???

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a one-page "report" (layout?) that can display some summary values calculated from my database. I am currently using a database to keep track of the students in a small school, and I would like to be able to print up a page that shows each classroom number with teacher name, followed by a number of students in that class. The database records are the students, and each record includes a class number and teacher name. I feel like I have a decent understanding of how AppleWorks databases work, but while this seems like a reasonable thing that I would like to do, I can't think of how to go about doing it. I'm starting to think that maybe I have to have a second, separate database for the teachers and track the number of students per class that way. But AppleWorks doesn't have a way of sharing information across two databases, does it?
Ugh.

Hi Terry,
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a one-page "report" (layout?) that can display some summary values calculated from my database. I am currently using a database to keep track of the students in a small school, and
It should be possible, assuming I understand the question.
I would like to be able to print up a page that shows each classroom number with teacher name, followed by a number of students in that class.
Do you want a list of some of the students in the class, or do you want a number showing how many students are in that class? My assumption is the second.
The database records are the students, and each record includes a class number and teacher name.
As you say "A" class number and (A) teacher name, I'm assuming that there is only one teacher's name associated with each student, and only one class number associated with each student (and I suspect that all students with the same Teacher have the same class number).
AppleWorks doesn't have a way of sharing information across two databases, does it?
No.
Given the above assumptions, here's a plan:
Existing fields (ALL Text type fiends):
'Name' (containing student's name)
'Room' (containing class number)
'Teacher' (containing teacher's name)
New fields (ALL Summary type fields. Formula given after field name):
'Namesum' COUNT('Name')
'Roomsum' 'Room'
'Teachsum' 'Teacher'
Make a new Blank Layout.
Insert Part... Subsummary when sorted by 'Teacher'
Insert Part... Header
Insert the three new Summary type fields onto the new layout and place them in a horizontal line in the Subsummary part.
Edit the labels, then place place them in the Header part and directly above the field to which each applies. Add any other information you want in the header using a text frame.
Adjust the part boundary to give some white space below the three fields.
Drag the Body boundary up to the boundary above it to delete the body part from the layout.
Return to Browse mode.
To see the results:
Sort the database by Teacher.
Check Page View in the Window menu.

Total number of pages before generating the PDF - OMR

Dear all,
We are facing the following problem. We want to apply OMR (optical mark recognition) barcoding on a batch of invoices.
Basically there are two steps in the proces:
- Fetch the batch of invoices created during the day, let's say 1000 invoices.
- Calculate for this batch of invoices the total number of pages per customer. 1 customer can have multiple invoices per day.
- If the number of pages per customer > 12, remove the invoices from the total batch (1000 invoices become then 800 for example).
- Apply OMR logic on the remaining 800.
My question is regarding step 2. The calculation of the total number of pages per customer. Is it possible to get the total number of pages before generating the PDF? Or do we have to 'simulate' the PDF to get to this number?
Another question I have, does anybody have experience implementing OMR using adobe forms? Any experience to share?
Thanks for your feedback
Simon

Hi Philippe,
we can only determine the page size when its already loaded with data and its published/sent by ADS.
i.e., the no of pages increases based on the data you feed to the form which mean by the time the form/script determines the number of pages it has published dynamically data is already there. so your requirement cannot be solved in that approach.
the next approach which I can think of is as follows.
lets say you display the invoices data as a table in the form.
so then lets specify the row height to .5" which mean in a form with content area size of 15" we can display 30 records.
so in the interface or the source program count the number of records per customer if they are < (12pages X 30 records = 360) leave them as they are else remove them for the list and process the data for other customers.
As per your other query of having OMR on the form I have no Idea, I never worked on that but if its just any other type of barcode that shouldn't have any problem.
Hope this helps you,
Cheers,
Sai

One page report.

Dear SAP Friends,
one common suituation is observed while doing implimentation project that is Owner required One page Report through the SAP System same as he get through the other ERP System or in Excell formate.
Initially he is not ready to dropdown the screen & get the report.
Please tell is it realy true that we can not get one page report without ABAP'ers Help?

Please Reply.
Thanks & Regards,

I donot think std report will meet your requirement. Better develop a customized report with help of Abap`s.
How you enter tool change time, M/c idle time. Is PM module implemented. if yes take the data from PM Module.

Kindly help me to generate relational modal diagram to PDF.

Hi Jen,
why do you use Data Modeler 2.0 - There is Data Modeler 3.0 and also 3.1 EA2 is available. I'll recommend you to go with Data Modeler 3.1 EA2.

Hi Leilam,
I suggest you lower the amount of pages you are printing to PDF and combine the separate documents later. Try creating a 20 page PDF file first and if it works print the next 20 and so on. In the end you have 5 - 20 page documents, which you can then combine in Acrobat and save the resulting file accoringly. Check how much hard drive space you have (maybe it's getting low) and I also you:
Repair permissions regularily, run a utility such as MacJanitor or Cocktail to clean up your machine. Creating a large PDF file requires both RAM and available HD space that the MAC needs to use as a Spool or temporary storage space. ie: if the resulting PDF is 100 Mgs, the OS requires a little more than double that space before you begin to create the file.
if the above fails, try deleting the Preferences and rebooting to clean out the RAM.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

Report generated to PDF ignores parameter

Hello
I run a report in reports-runtime.
At the beginning I'm asked for parameters and then the report will be displayed on screen.
So far so good.
But when I want to generate the report to a pdf-file
( Menue File - Generate to File - PDF)
I get the same parametermask as before, but whatever parameters I use, they will be ignored.
Though when I write them to a boilerplate text they are correctly displayed.
Generating the file without previewing brings a report with the correct number of pages (as I can see in the display of the background engine), but when I try to open it with Acrobat Reader I get the error-message File does not begin with '%PDF-'.
How can I get a correct PDF-report?
Yours
Marcus

Online application generates blank pdf

I'm filling several online applications through a common online entity that generates a pdf for review; it worked once and then it only produces a blank page.
I have used windows and mac based computers; I have used three different browsers on each and in some cases it does not even generate the blank pdf, just spins endlessly.
I have contacted the entity that runs the online application with no response thus far. Other people in similar process have not found the same problem.
Once it worked and then stopped. I reinstalled the reader in my computer and worked again once; I tried the same again to no avail.
Im running out of time to send the applications and running desperate with no solution to this problem
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried the suggestions mentioned in the technical article Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI?

Printer prints one page followed by blank page

My HP printer will print one page followed by a blank page until the document is complete. Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Try changing the 'Page Setup' > 'Format for' from 'Any Printer' to the printer you are using.

How can I save one page from a long PDF document?

I have a 400+ page PDF and want to email just one page to a colleague. How do I save just that page? I've tried the Print > Save As PDF, but it says "not supported."

Gracias, Claudio! I did as you recommended and it works. I wish it were possible to save individual pages using the Reader, though, as I don't do that enough to justify purchasing Acrobat. Also, I don't know how to tell if a PDF is protected, and maybe this one is. Thanks!

How does one print just one page of a long PDF file?

My mac wants to print all of the pages. Don't see a way to print just one page. Since the pages are numbered 6-19 and so on, I can't enter the specific page numbers to be printed.

Instead of going to the Print dialog, open the Pages panel, right-click the
page you want to print and select Print Page(s).

PLW NTR prints one page, then a blank, and stops

I have a dependable 18 year old Personal Laserwriter NTR printer which has been running with a Dell running Windows XP for a couple of years. The printer is connected via a parallel cable to the computer. The printer has suddenly started printing only the first page of a multi-page document, then prints a blank and stops printing while the top light on the printer keeps flashing. However, if I open and close the feeder door, the next page and a blank will print, and the cycle repeats. Thinking that the printer driver "broke," I deleted the printer control program from the control panel and installed a new copy of Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR v2010.129 from the XP program. No change in the status. I have used Word, Excel and Wordpad with the same results. Any ideas as to the problem and how to correct? Thanks

This should help you out...

Sometimes sticking solenoids will cause this issue too, but if it were mine, I'd install the kit I mention above first, and see if that fixes it.
Let us know how you fare.

Exporting a file but the page is a blank pdf..

Hi all,
Im having trouble exporting my document at the moment. I do the usual file, export, save etc.. then when i open the pdf it is just a an almost blank page with everything missing.
This has never happened before. Could it be because I have overlapped too many shapes on top of one another? And this is causing them not to show up? I shtere a limit on how many or something?
Very confused..

OK gentlemen, my apologizies...I just don't see the reason why you'd want to change a PSD file into a PDF. But I am a web developer and less a designer. PDFs mutability can be tricky and time consuming. Anyway, here is another thing to try:
first you export your layers as separate files. second you create a pdf form the separate documents. for example in PS:
1. File/Scripts/Export Layers to Files...
2. File/Automate/PDF Presentation...
i'm sure there is an easier way to do this, will post it if I'll think of it.
