PDF Export and CID Encoding criteria

I have read that, when a document is exported to PDF, only certain types of fonts are CID encoded. What criteria is used ??
Thanks.
Jorge

Hi,
I tried both ways. With the Interactive Report I get this Error when I view the pdf.
"Adobe could not open '...pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (...).
And wher I use my own report template I click "print" and then
I see a white page with some data from my report template in the browser (it shows the XSL-FO file in the browser, but no pdf... )
I think I already have done the report printing configuration in the Instance Settings ....
There we selected Oracle APEX Listener for Print Server...
Is this not enough?
kind regards,
ilb

[CS5.5] Lock PDF export and print presets

Hi,
With this post I would like to ask a question regarding locking certain features in Indesign.
Does anyone know if it is possible to ...
- lock PDF export and print presets so a user is not abble to change/override any preset properties, and is forced to use a preset without the possibility to override any of the properties when using it?
- force a user to use one of the predefinied presets to print or export a document without the ability to create a new preset?
- verify PDF-files to check what Indesign print/export preset was used?
Being part of a larger prepress team, we would like to make sure that, every PDF-file created by each team member, is created with the same specs.
Does anyone know of any plugin, tool or release that enables such a functionality?
Kind regards
John

If the employees cannot follow company policy, they need to know that there are other people looking for work who can. Yes, mistakes happen, but that would be a case of choosing the wrong preset from a list (which, if you leave more than one installed, can't be avioded). Changing settings against policy is not a mistake.

Script that worked in CS does not work in CS4 - multiple open page, print , pdf export and close

I had a script that worked great for me in Indesign CS. But now does not work in CS4. Anyone knows what needs to be done to make it work again ?
When I drop folder with indesign files on top of this script:
1. opens first page
2. turns specific layer on
3. prints using preset
4. exports using preset
5. close without saving
6. next page
Anyone who can give me solution or idea how this should work is greatly appreciated.
on open sourceFolders
repeat with sourceFolder in sourceFolders
tell application "Finder"
try
-- If you would like to include subfolders, you say - every file of entire contents of folder…
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias list
on error -- work around bug if there is only one file
set idFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is "IDd5") as alias as list
end try
end tell
if idFiles is not {} then
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
set user interaction level to never interact
repeat with i from 1 to count of idFiles
open item i of idFiles
tell document 1
try
set visible of layer "ImagesTag_Layer" to true
end try
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
with timeout of 700 seconds
print using myPreset without print dialog
end timeout
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
set myName to the name -- name includes .indd should remove at some point
with timeout of 700 seconds
export format PDF type to "users:temp:Desktop:pdf:" & myName & ".pdf" using myPreset1 without showing options -- set path here format ComputerName:Folder1:Folder2:......:FileName.pdf
end timeout
close without saving
end tell
end repeat
set user interaction level to interact with all
end tell
end if
return 10 -- try again in 10 seconds
end repeat
end open

(Disclaimer: me not an AS guy!)
First thing I noticed is the interaction level is set off. If you comment out this line
set user interaction level to never interact
you might be able to pinpoint the exact error -- ID will display a standard "failed" dialog, hopefully showing the line that it fails on.
A quick question: the script assumes two presets in your InDesign: one for print ("letter size") and one for PDFs ("pdf preset name"):
set myPreset to "letter size" -- name of print style to use
set myPreset1 to "pdf preset name" -- name of pdf export style to use
Do these actually exist in your CS4, with the same (non)capitalization and spaces?

Generate a PDF export and getting the file or the bytestream to modify it

Hi everybody
I have a web dynpro application and want to get the bytestream or the PDF file itself.
Is there a function (RFC, J2EE-Method, ABAP methode/class) where I can say
"Hey function, generate a PDF export of a BI report and save the PDF file <br>somewhere in the KM or return the bytestream of the PDF"
I must be able to define following parameters
-BI template name
-values for the selection mask (the same as the BEx BI-Commands to prefill a field in the selection mask)
-KM path + filename (if the function saves the file in the KM)
What I already tried:
Broadcast to KM
I can start the broadcast automatically using the report RSRD_BROADCAST_STARTER. But the problem is that I can't generate a broadcast setting and so I'm not able to define the filename and selectionmask data dynamically.
Package RSRD
When you enter the transaction SE80 and look for the package "RSRD" there are a lot of interesting classes and methods. But I couldn't figure out how to call them to generate a PDF export of a BI report.
FM RSADOB_PDFREPORT_GENERATE
This function module have all the parameters I wish. The problem is that it does not work anymore. It's just an internal test for the SAP guys themselves.
So ...
Have anybody an idea how to solve this?
How to generate a PDF export of a BI report and fill the selection mask and get the PDF (as bytecode or file in the KM) ?
Thanks lot
Klaudio

hi,
Like you said.. steps are simple and clearly mentioned in guide.
1. create a variable of type string
2. after configuring the file adapter , go to corresponding receive activity , go to properties tab
3. search for a property with name as jca.file.FileName . This basically keeps track of file name
4. for this property, give the value as name of variable created in step 1 above
5. Use this variable anywhere in assign / transform

I Paid for PDF Export and the files are not converting correctly

I purchased PDF Export to take a PDF file and convert it to a text file so I could import it into excel, when doing so I get a bunch of extra symbles plus the numbers that i'm trying to convert are not complete.

Could you try disabling the 'Recognize text' function and convert the file again?
Let us know how it goes!

Pages to PDF export and text not showing

I exported a pages document from Pages to PDF and I can not see the text???
Font is Tex Gyre Adventor and it is in the color white with a shadow and a tangerine box backdrop
Thoughts? - Thanks!!

I'm not sure exactly why this happened, but I think I might have some reasons why.
Maybe try changing the color of your text to another color instead of white and see if that works. Or maybe try changing the background from tangerine to something else and see if anything changed once it is converted to a PDF.
Another reason is maybe you did it completely wrong when you converted it. I'll explain how to, incase you completed any steps incorrectly.
1) At the top of your screen, press "File" then "Export". At the top, make sure the "PDF" option is selected and not anything else like "Word" or "ePub" or any of the other options.
2) Select the image quality. Perhaps adjusting this to "Best Quality" rather than just "Good" will help in being able to see the white text. I don't know, just a suggestion.
3) Press "Next" which should be flashing in a light blue color.
4) Save your PDF where you want it and call it what you want.
5) Now press "Export"
6) Open the PDF document and see if anything changed.
Sorry if I haven't been much help but just see if that works.
Another thing I will suggest is to try printing it out and seeing if the text is visible and that might help out.
I'd also suggest, finally, start all over again with converting and follow the steps above, and see if anything changes.
Hope I could help, sorry If I didn't.

PDF Export And Printing Problem

I am using VB 2005 and the Crystal Reports that is bundled with it. I have reports on my website in the Crystal Report Viewer. I have the tool bar showing the Export and Print buttons. When you try to print (or export to PDF) you get an error from Adobe Reader "Adobe Reader could not open 'AcrXXX.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I can see the file in my temp folder on my c-drive and the file (AcrXXX.tmp) does not contain a pdf instead it contains html for the report (including the report viewer). I tried deleting everything in my temp folder and I still get the error. My desktop is Adobe Reader 8.0 and IE 6 and Windows XP.
The same code will create the PDF on all development and test web servers just not on my production server.
I have no problem exporting a report to Word.

Hello Wendy,
if you are not too sure whether this errro is CR or VS related pls simply try to use one of our samples and see if you can export from htere or if you get the same error:

Keynote PDF Export and Color Profile

I have some color trouble with the pdf-exports of keynote: the color that is shown in the pdf does not correpond with the one in the keynote file. The pdf has more ”milky” colors. Maybe it is a color profile thing. But what profile doese keynote use for the screen? Or does it convert rgb-colors to cmyk? Anyway, how to sync exactly keynote and pdf colors for screen presentations?

There are a few things you can try:
In the PDF export box there is an Image Quality dropdown, where you can choose Good, Better or Best. Which are you using?
Alternatively you can just output the file as a PDF using the Print function. Your profile says you are using Mac OS X 10.4 in which case, in the print window click on the PDF button and choose Compress PDF to output a smaller file.
If you have since moved up to 10.5, this option is no longer available by default, but there is an Automator action that restores it here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
The other thing to check is whether your graphics are at the actual size you need them or if you have scaled down a big picture, for example. The PDF will still contain information for the full-size image.
Re-sizing them in something like Photoshop to the size you need first before placing them in the presentation may help.
Finally, if you have Acrobat (Pro, not just the reader) you can use the Reduce File Size option in the FIle menu to compress the PDF you get from Keynote.
Post back with how you get on.

Problem with PDF export and embedded font (characters disappear)

Designer: Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2
Engine: CR4E 2.0 SP2 (runtime_12.2.203)
Hi there!
we found a problem in the pdf export. It seems like there would be a problem with the embedded fonts, the problem is as follows:
Rpt file with, for example only a text box which contains the german string " Änderungs Schlüssel ".
Export the Rpt file with CR4E to a pdf file.
When we open the pdf file in Adope Reader 8, the text appears to be correct,
but if we print the PDF file from the Adope Reader, the text changes to " nderungs Schl sselu201C,
here we are missing ther german umlaute.
When we open the file for example with an alternative PDF reader like Foxit Reader, there they are also missing.
After i found some posts here in the forum, there are people facing the same problem, since i couldn't find a solution in the forum, we build a little workaround for it that works for us.
For all of you that have the same problem here the workaround:
We used the IText JAVA library, this jar can can help as to fix the PDF file so the text is displayed correctly.
Here the code:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
doc.open("C:\XY.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
//... database logon,.....
InputStream inputStream = doc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
inputStream = PDFHealer.heal(inputStream);
//... write the stream some where

Problem in pdf export and subsequent selection

Well I'm starting to have a very bad weekend. I know I can do a lot of this in acrobat but that would defeat the point of why to use indesign.
My problem is as follows: There's a LOT of python tutorials in indesign formats at my work. Now the BIG problem is that python is dependent on white space on start of the line. But once in PDF format the text selection tool refuses to select the spaces at the start of the line.
If anybody of you has programmed python you'd know that's a bad thing indeed. So what we have now is thousands upon thousands of lines of examples the user can not easily select and copy paste into their use. Without spending a excessive amounts of adding spaces.
So apart of ditching using pdf and indesign as medium. Is there any easy way that i can:
1 ) Override the function of adobe reader. So it selects the whitespace
(I know its there if text touchup i can see it)
2 ) Instruct indesign to export a pdf text field out of a certain
paragraph style per paragraph.
Something other I can do? This is killing my entire workflow. Maybe theres a way you could autoswap the fields in script etc? I mean it must be readily apparent to even somewhat inexperienced computer user.
PS: im thinking maybe buttons that copy text to clipboard but that's not the most intuitive way

Problem with pdf export and setting of the paper size

Hi,
I develop plugins for InDesign server.
Can anybody suggest me an way to exports a pdf/ps file from a indesign document with my custom adjustment of the output "paper" size?
I tried with kPrintActionCmdBoss but the "SavePDFAs" popups although I set kSuppressEverything(!?)
When I used kPDFExportCmdBoss I cannot set paper size.

PDF Export and hackers

I received an email saying I'll be debited for further use of PDFexport. Is this a real? Or from hackers? As I also had a letter in the post saying all my details had been stolen from Adobe. What is going on? And if it is real - how do i stop it?

APEX 3.0: Region caching and PDF Export

Hi,
there was some comment in the APEX 3.0 Feedback Application that if a region has activated the new "Caching" settings, the Flash Chart data, PDF Export and CSV Export get also cached.
That seems to work fine for the Flash Charts, they display the cached data, but the new PDF Export and the CVS Export always requery the data.
Patrick
Check out my APEX-blog: http://inside-apex.blogspot.com
Check out the ApexLib Framework: http://apexlib.sourceforge.net

Hi Patrick,
That is correct, PDF and CSV exports are not cached. I don't know why this was stated differently in the feedback application.

Crystal Reports for VS 2010 corrupts "some" Thai chars on PDF Export

Any Thai character that contains a symbol above it (like an umlat in English) gets corrupted when exporting a report to PDF, yet the same report can be exported to Excel or Word without any issue.
See the following character - once with a symbol above one without:
ล้ ล
The PDF file will not display the first character - instead it displays the second character overlayed on a box (like you get when the font does not contain the required character)
If I create a text field in the Crystal designer, it does the same thing - but when I right click and edit, it displays correctly - until I click out of the field when the problem returns. So this suggests the problem is before the PDF export and maybe with the designer - but then why does it work if i export to Word?
I have tried may different fonts - including those specifically recommended and used by the Thais, but all have the same issue.
My work around at the moment is to use Word instead of PDF, as I do not believe there is a configuration change I can make that will resolve the issue, but would love to hear otherwise.
I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 version 13 running on Windows 7 x64. I have a beta 2 download of v14, but it requires a key code which i do not have, so as yet ahave been unable to verify if this issue is resolved in that version.
if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know
Cheers
Jed

Thanks Don,
(Good to know that version 13 I am running is the correct one)
I have tried many UTF-8 fonts, with largely similar results, but this testing here is with Cordia New - a font largely aimed at Thai Language and the one our Thai customers always use.
I have confirmed that right click and export from the IDE still shows the box on certain characters - but note that the box does not replace these characters (as would be the case if they were missing) but rather overlays them - which is why my subject includes the word 'corrupt'
All testing so far in on my Windows 7 development machine - so no user issues are involved
The code if fairly simple at this stage - define and load a data set - then link it to the report and use the built in export to disk functions:
                OutboundSummary rpt = new OutboundSummary();
                rpt.SetDataSource(outboundSummary);
                string tempDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP") + "
                string filename = tempDir + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss");
                rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename + ".pdf");
                rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, filename + ".doc");
If anyone wanted to verify, here is a piece of Thai text that will show the problem
ผลรวมแฟกซ์ที่ยังอยู่ในคิว
To better illustrate the problem, the attached image will help
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/hweh42.jpg[/IMG]
I am coming to the conclusion that perhaps these characters are not single characters - at least do not appear as such with each font - and perhaps Windows does some magic to make them appear correctly. I can see that Word automatically converts them to a suitable font - i.e. a mixed language text file imports into word with different fonts for different languages - and you cannot change the font to one that does not support the language. I can specify Arial from Crystal which does not contain thai characters at all - but export to word and they show correctly.
Crystal spits the data out and Word converts it correctly, but acrobat does not - so maybe it is their fault?
I have all language packs on my machine - and doing Chinese next suggests that even if I find a thai font that worked, it would not work in chinese, so am thinking word or rtf might be the winner.
Cheers
Jed
