PDF fuzzy output

HI!
With whatever method ("save as PDF", "Print->save as PDF" or "Print-> save as ADOBE PDF") i try co create a PDF File out of my .pptx, i get font problems on pages, where pictures are involved.
The Font simply get fuzzy on the edges and looks different on separate pages in one document. On pages ONLY with text, all is fine. The Error is only visible on Windows machines and on the Acrobat viewer, the "Preview hides the error".
I NEED to be able to produce decent PDF Files on my Mac, but I am flexible on what tool to use for this. PLESE HELP!!!
thx and greetings form Vienna,
Philipp

> You should use PNG for screen captures.
Or any graphics file format that offers either no compression, or a repeat-count compression (e.g. RLE, LZW, ZIP). These formats do not damage the image. I commonly use EPS or TIF.
Formats using curve-matching compression, like the DCT used in JPG, always introduce the artifacts that Arnis mentions, and can increase final file size, because curve-matching is really poor on sharp edges.
Another tip is to not resize by resampling when editing screenshots. Set the defined dpi to 72, or 100 (which is more typical for current screens), but adjust the size on the page by setting the scaling in FM. This generally passes in through the rendering unscathed by down-sampling settings that often apply a curve-matching compression.

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format

Is it possible to create a Webservice in BI which takes XML as an input and gives PDF as output with an additional requirement that Siebel expecting the XSD from BI to send data in the BI requested format. Siebel wants to send the data as xml to BI but not sure of the BI capabilities on giving WSDL embedded with XSD (input is a hierarchical)

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Swapnil K.

PDF-X output -- images distorted

It appears that PDF-X output is, for me at least, a double-edged sword.
I have a document which contains several images, to which I have applied drop shadows. There the problem starts. If I print my document directly from Pages, the drop shadows are completely opaque and look like some kind of weird half-border (regardless of the opacity setting I assign them), but the images themselves, which contain very small text and pictures, are crisp and the text in them is readable.
I found a solution to the drop shadows issue here in this forum, so I printed the document to PDF-X. Now the shadows display beautifully but the quality of the images suffers greatly. What was crisp before is now garbled and illegible. I tired different print quality settings, but these don't seem to apply to printing to a file.
I have also tried saving as postscript -- unfortunately this produced even less usable results. many of the images in my document became distorted at 45 degree angles and some (though not all) lost their color. These issues are only present in the hard copy I printed from Preview. In Preview itself it looks normal.
Any assistance that anyone here can provide would be thoroughly appreciated.

Thanks! Thought it would be something in that direction. Any tools or libraries you might know that can be used to extract and parse this kind of information (as part of a preflight process or something else)? Adobe tools for instance?

Characters are cut off when they don't fit in the pdf report output.

Hi All,
I understand that Forms 6i and Oracle 9 iAS have been de-supported for years. Meanwhile we do still run a small application in the 9 iAS environment.
We have forms and reports running on Windows 2000 server, I am able to successfully clone the same 9 iAS from Windows 2000 to a Virtual Server Windows 2003 x32 and all runs fine, the only problem is that the fonts in the pdf reports are larger in the new Windows 2003 environment as compared to the original Windows 2000 and characters are cut off when they don't fit in the pdf report output in 2003 env.
Any advice is most appreciated.
Thanks.

Determine ICC output profile (name) in PDF/X output intent

Hi all,
I have a PDF of which I need to determine the ICC output profile (name) of the PDF/X output intent. This is what I have in the 'content stream':
<</Metadata 6 0 R/OutputIntents[<</DestOutputProfile 7 0 R/Info(OFCOM. ISO 12647-2:2004 / Amd 1, Offset commercial and specialty printing according to ISO 12647-2, paper type 1 or 2 $gloss or matte coated offset, 115 g/m2$, screen frequency 60/cm.)/OutputConditionIdentifier(FOGRA39)/RegistryName(http://www.color.org)/S/GTS_PDFX/Type/OutputIntent>>]
How can I, based on this information, determine what the name of the ICC profile in the PDF/X output intent is? Adobe Acrobat's output preview tells me that is should say / find ''ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI)'.
Thanks in advance.
Didier

Thanks Sven.
The query works but the other way. The output is for all the targets, not for the respective target which we select from :p1_target.
select target_name,target_type, column_label,
warning_threshold,critical_threshold,occurrence_count
from sysman.MGMT$TARGET_METRIC_SETTINGS@crmodem
where target_name in (select MEMBER_TARGET_NAME from MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS@crmodem
where upper(AGGREGATE_TARGET_NAME) like '%X' || :P1_TARGET || '%')

PDF form output

Apparently you can make a PDF form output. But how did they do this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/showcase/conmeds_OC_onePage.pdf
Is it possible to make it in such a way that you can save the document including the entered data? If you try to do that now you get an Adobe Reader error.

What I'd really like is to download directly to WORD from sapscript or smartform with logos, boxes intact just like they appear in PDF.
PDF Writer is a possibility, but do you think we could posibly achieve this with standard SAP Function modules:
MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER_PICTURE MS_WORD_OLE_FORMLETTER
If by using this FMs we wouldnt be using the sapscript and smartform technology by pretty much generating these documents over and over again, please confirm...
Danke!

How to create a multiple PDF-form outputs into one PDF?

Hi,
I`d like to create a PDF document with a few pages in it, build from different PDF-forms using many form-function calls. Where each PDF-form can use its own interface.
I`ve made a simple programme, but as the result I have a few separated documents with scrolling tab instead of one document with all pages in it.
What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, but making single PDF from many smartforms is not what I want to achieve. I wold like to know how to get one PDF document made by ALC-forms.
In my example I have many PDF documents. So, how to get (or put) them all in one PDF?
ps: the way to get one PDF from smartforms is also here:

How could I get the pdf-file output to contain more than one page from certain homepages

2011-08-22
I have been using Firefox for many years now. I like this browser better than Safari. However. I have a problem when I have connected to a homepage over the web and want to write the content out to a pfd-file. The pdf-file does sometimes contain only one page. The material is good enough for two or more pages of output. I have checked that using Safari browser. I´d like to continue using Firefox so please tell med what to do!

Indesign CS6 - PDF = Fuzzy, Redish Text

Hello folks,
I am looking for some assistance with printing a PDF I've created from InDesign. I've scoured these and other fourms, but to no avail. Here's a copy of the PDF for anyone to analyze: http://www.nhceh.org/GL%20Sponsorship%20Packet.pdf
Here's the problem: I've created a document in InDesign that I'm exporting to PDF and printing to my PCL laserjet Sharp MX-2600N. In the color management settings, I'm selecting "same as source." The results are colors that I expect and want - except, I'm getting text that isn't crisp, and has a red fuzzy border/shadow. However, in the color management settings, if I select "Adobe Acrobat Management" (color profile is Adobe RGB 1998), I get text that is a sharp, rich black, but colors that are much less vibrant.
Some useful tidbits: I'm using CS6 and I've removed all effects from my file.
Any suggestions, thoughts?
TIA!

I would have expected somone, more knowledgeable than myself to chime in on this. I attended a 40 minute color management webinar yesterday, that is the full level of my experience with management; I could be incorrect in some of this...
SWOP is a cmyk profile with less gamut than rgb, hence the duller color result.
Adobe RGB (is a wider gamut than sRGB,) and will produce a fuller spectrum than what was achievable in the cmyk.
In the rgb space, your black text has been converted to a mix of cmyk. Your printer is not capable of perfectly overlapping the inks - analogous to mis-register (printing rick black type) on a traditional press. Hence, the fuzzy edges. Given that it is also red in hue, I would surmise that it is also no calibrated.
Your RIP'd file in Adobe RGB and cmyk. I have turned off the black channel.

Hello, Anu;
Business Objects will create one PDF from one report. Once the report object has been formatted as a PDF it is no longer handled by Business Objects but uses the functionality of Adobe.
If they were being saved as .pdf files, would there be a way to open more than one at a time?

Getting the binary from an Offline PDF in output mapping of a Human Task

Dear Experts,
in my project I have a human activity with Adobe Offline Forms. It expires directly (expiration time: +0 minutes) after the PDF is sent out as task assigment. After the task is completed/expired, I want to store the same PDF file in SAP CRM. Therefore I need to get the PDF binary in the output mapping of the human activity, so I can map it to my automated activity with SAP CRM service. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot,
Koray

i think you can put the binary in ECM first, then retrieve it in your automatic step.

PDF Published Output and Links to PDF Files?

All
I have a PDF I have published from Captivate. The Captivate file has links to other PDFs within it. When I click on these links within the PDF output from Captivate the files do not open. If I click on the links from the SWF version of the published file the links do open the files that are supposed to open. I am using relative path names. Is this functionality not supported in the PDF output? If it is can someone let me know what I might be doing wrong?

Hmmm, typically a PDF is sort of a "hermetically sealed" document. Likely the SWF inside the PDF is looking for other PDF files that simply aren't included inside the sealed PDF the SWF is inside of.

Problems with formatting negative numbers in Reports PDF web output.

Hi,
I have a problem where all the values in a column are right-aligned. The values are all numbers. If a value is negative, then the value is placed a character to the left, putting it out of alignment with the non-negative values. I can't figure out why this would be.
The problem doesn't appear in Reports Builder, or when the Report is generated to a PDF: File > Generate to file > PDF.
The problem only appears when the Report is called through the web application we've created for our client. It is output to a .pdf in a web browser- Internet Explorer 6.
I am running Oracle 10g.
Any ideas on solving this?
Regards,
James Sharman.

Just some clarification-
in Reports Builder, the values look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
but when running from the web application, they go wierd and look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
Regards,
James Sharman.
