PDF offline

I have an offline pdf, but dynamically for filling the fields.
I can save the data as XML, but I cannot open the pdf again with the data (offline).
The exactly problem is: I need filling the fields of pdf with SAP data. The client don't want to buy adobe document services because is expensive.
I have heard FDF may be a solution. it's used in java, php , but in abap i can do the same.
Which possibilities I have?

At last i download a pdf template from sap to local machine, also a FDF file .
The next step is executing an application with both of files like parameteres for creating the resultig pdf.
The application can be developed in other languages like java.
Other solution is create the application in the aplication server and execute there.
I found an application in open source code

Why can't I run a pdf offline presentation on Adobe

I keep getting a warning stating : to view flash technology content in this pdf file please install the required version of flash player. I already have the latest version installed but it wont work

Note that there are two Flash Player instances on Windows:
the ActiveX, for Internet Explorer (built-in by Microsoft for Windows 8.x)
the plugin (NPAPI) for other browsers and apps
Actually there is a third one: the PPAPI, built-in Google Chrome.

Deleting/removing offline PDF files in the iPad Adobe Reader app

Whenever I open a file from the Acrobat.com cloud in the iPad's Adobe Reader app, a local copy is saved which I can read even when not connected to the internet. This is intentional by Adobe, and allows me to read PDFs offline, which is great. My question is, if an offline copy of every PDF I open is saved on the iPad, it will soon run out of disk space. Is there any way that I can delete/remove a specific offline PDF in order to free up disk space? I understand that this would mean that I would not be able to read that file offline anymore until I reconnect to the Acrobat.com cloud and reopen the document from the cloud. Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for reproting the issue. You are right Adobe Reader saves a local copy whenever you opens a file from Acrobat.com. But there is a limitaion to the number of files it saves locally. So whenever the number of files opened from Acrobat.com reaches that value, it removes the first file opened from acrobat.com from its local memory and so on. So there is no chance of running out of memory.
Secondly, if you want to remove the locally saved files then you can just sign out from Acrobat.com and sign in again. In this case it will remove all the files saved locally. Then you have to download them again to view.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Reading (and searching, use of TOC and index) Acrobat files offline

OK - I have tried several things in effort to read PDFs offline.
The 'tools' that allow me to access these files PDFReader Pro and GoDocs are incapable of doing searches, use TOC, and index.. It is basically a picture of a PDF. They also present it in the linear form where I need to actually scroll the 343 PAGES to get to the information I want to read mid-way into the document.
Is there a realistic tool that actually properly presents PDF files offline and allows it to be used as it was intended? OOPS - correction Safari cant display this right either.... never mind ....
Thanks

I removed an erroneous statement that safari can properly display PDFs - it can't provide search, index/toc accesses. Bogus!

On a possibly related note, see http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004258-263.html?tag=mncol;txt for a way to ADD stuff to the TOC. I'm just passing this along, I haven't tried it.

How to detect an offline form ?

Hello,
Here is my scenario : a manager fills the PDF online and when he validates it, Iu2019 m saving data and reloading the form with certains values changed (due to validation) and then I send the PDF by mail to the employee (because he canu2019t access to the portail and so has to fill the form offline).
When I reload the form after the validation, I set some fields editable and the others not editable and I send the mail. My issue is that, when I open the PDF offline, an other mail is sending (and I want not !) ; Iu2019ve tried to modify a value (defining in the context) to send or not the mail but itu2019s not taken into account.
Here is my code :
// On the u201CCommentairesSalarie u201C field, u201Cinitializeu201D event ; u201CActionSalarieu201D is the value I want to change to know when to send mail or not, but the change to u201C0u201D is not taken into account in the offline PDF, so it sends a mail again ; SubmitToSAP1 is an hidden button used to send the mail and submitToSAP2 is a visible button to call the server and refresh the PDF.
this.access = xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].VisibiliteChpsSal").rawValue;
if (this.access == "open" && xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[1].AppreciationsGlobales.Titulaire.Table11.Row2.ActionSalarie").rawValue == "1")
var adresse = xfa.record.E_Eaa_Local.Mail_Addr.value;
var objet = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Objet.value;
var entete = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Entete.value;
var intro = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Intro.value;
var fin = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Fin.value;
var URLMail = "mailto:" + adresse + "?subject=" + objet + "&body=" + entete + intro + fin;
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP1.#event.#submit").target = URLMail;
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[1].AppreciationsGlobales.Titulaire.Table11.Row2.ActionSalarie").rawValue = "0";
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP1").execEvent("click");
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP2").execEvent("click");
So, I wonder if itu2019s possible to detect that I am working with an offline or online PDF, so I could not send the mail in the offline case. Is there a way to distinguish the both cases ??
Or have you any others suggestions ?
I would sincerely appreciate your help !

Hello Anthony,
I think that what you want to do is a little different from my issue.
But I could explain to you what my issue was and how it was resolved and maybe it will give you some ideas for your issue.
I wanted to send a mail after a validation of the form during the online process.
Here are the steps :
1. User validates the form
2. Round-trip to server to save all data
3. Reloading of the form and sending of the mail with the PDF as attachment to an employee (no action of the user for this)
4. When the employee opens the form offline, the mail must not be sent.
For the step 1., the user clicks on a button
For the step 2., the method onActionSubmitPDF is called and I called the BAPI to update data. Then, I called the BAPI to read the new data and display them in the form. I have defined a value attribute in the context to tell that there is a mail to send ("ActionSalarie" is this variable, in the coding above)
For the step 3., in a text field, on the event DocReady, I test the value of the "ActionSalarie" attribute. As it equals to 1, I send the mail and put immediately, its value to 0.
For the step 4., the value equals to 0, so we don't execute the coding under the "if" statement.
I hope this could help you !

Documentation of Offline-Process

Hi,
is there any document detailing the process for creating and accessing offline-accessible, policy-protected documents? Something, we could hand to our security guys for an evaluation would be really helpful.
TIA,
Nicholas
Edit:
I already looked through the documentation at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/documentation.html an couldn't find anything.

I don't know of any official documentation, but I wrote this overview of the process a while back...
The basics of how offline authentication works are as follows:
When the “offline” permission is assigned to a user in the policy, the policy information and document encryption key are encrypted by a 256 bit AES principal key (generated by the PM server). The policy information and document encryption key are embedded in the policy protected PDF, and the corresponding Principal Key is downloaded to the users client machine.
For each user that has offline permissions (for a particular document) they will have a corresponding principal key. Whenever a connection to the Rights Management server is established (a rights managed document is opened, the user invokes the “Synchronize for offline” from Adobe Reader or Acrobat) The principal key(s) is downloaded to the client machine and stored in the microsafe. The microsafe is essentially an encrypted database that is associated with the user account on the client machine.
For example, when I log onto my computer as “sforrest” I have a microsafe available to me that stores my principal keys. When I open a document offline for which I have permissions, the Microsafe is accessed and the protected documents corresponding principal key is retrieved and used to decrypt the document key that is embedded in the rights managed document. The document key is then used to decrypt the document itself.
Things to note:
There is one principal key per user, per document that the user has been given offline permissions. i.e. If I have 10 PDFs that I am allowed to view offline, then I will have 10 principal keys in my Microsafe.
There is a microsafe for each user (tied to their profile\user account) on the client machine. For example, if I logon to my Windows machine, when I open a rights managed PDF (offline) that I have permissions to view in the policy, I will NOT be prompted for a user name and password as I have already authenticated to the client machine, and therefore my microsafe.
If the policy was configured to “audit” events, the events will still be recorded when the document is accessed offline and stored locally until a connection is established to the RM server, at which time the recorded events will be uploaded to the RM server.
As for custom authentication, I don’t believe there would be any difference in the offline behaviour, as all of the information I noted above would would still be relevant. The “offline” authentication method would be independent of the authentication steps taken when a connection to the RM server is available and online authentication takes place.
Hope this helps.

Have to pay to create PDF on program I paid for

I am unable to open my Acrobat 10 now and when I try to create PDFs it says i have to pay for a subscription, I own my copy of A10 i need help stat

ravenfiregraphics wrote:
I opened Reader and clicked Create PDF
Hi,
This looks like you clicked under the Adobe Online Services tab.
Also, subscription policy is only for online services. You dont pay every month for keeping a software.
Anyways, could you provide with a little more details about what versions of OS and Acrobat are you using.
Also, are you able to open Acrobat successfully or is there some error? Does that also happens with Reader?
(I am assuming that you are trying to create a PDF offline.)

Render PDF without viewing?

Hello,
I have following szenario:
I have an interactive form, I want to fill it with data retrieved dynamically and then I want to make the PDF downloadable without the need to show it in Reader first. The user shall continue to fill in data into the prefiled PDF "offline" outside of the browser.
When I make the Interactive Form element visible, everything works as expected and I get my prefilled PDF and I can download it. The pdfsource in the context is filled with binary data.
When the element is invisible, nothing happens...
Is the Adobe Reader required in the process of putting data into an interactive form?
Thx for any help or ideas,
Frank

Hi Frank,
For your requirement you need to design an Offline Adobe Interactive Form ABAP Based i.e. here you design the AIF similar to Smartform using a ABAP Driver Program. In that driver program you need to include the below two lines
fp_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
before call to function "FP_JOB_OPEN". Imediately after the call to this function module write the below program lines, these lines are to make the Adobe Form as Interactive.
fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
fp_docparams-dynamic = 'X'.
Now proceed with other steps and while calling the PDF Form dynamically using the function module dont forget to mention the IMPORTING Statement. After the call to function "FP_JOB_CLOSE", you can have the Complete PDF in the XSTRING Format in the IMPORTING Statement. Generally the IMPORTING Statement looks like
IMPORTING
/1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT = fpformoutput
so you can get the PDF by accessing like "fpformoutput-pdf".
So here convert that XSTRING PDF into BINARY format and write the Steps in ABAP to download to desktop directly.

Offline policy not working when computer disconnected to the network

Hi,
our customer is now using Rights Managment ES Update 1, Service Pack 2.
There is a policy definied with an offline lease period = 15 days.
The document publisher has the offline option enabled.
If a PDF document is protected by this policy, the document can be opened as long as the computer is connected to the network.
If the computer is disconnected the document cannot be opened anymore.
Adobe Reader comes up with the error information " This computer must be connected to the network in order to open this document".
(==> the HTTPS connection is secure, the certificate is valid and installed and the base URL is set)
It is strange because the solution has been running since one year with LC ES 8.01. Then we upgraded to LC ES 8.21 SP2. The documents which are encrypted by the same policy can be opened online but not offline.
The policy settings are attached to this post (offline_policy_settintgs.pdf).
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Daniel

Are the end users still using the same version of Reader or Acrobat to open the PDF that they were using prior to the upgrade to ES Update 1 SP2?
Have the client systems been synchronized with the RM Server to retrieve the "Principal" key that is required to open the PDF offline (although, if they can open the document online, then the synchronization should be occurring in the background).
Try forcing a synchronization, from Acrobat select Advanced > Security > Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management > Synchronize for Offline. If you are using Reader, select Document > Security > Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management > Synchronize for Offline
Regards
Steve

Working Offline on Xcelsius

Hi Experts ,
I have created a dashboard which picks the data from the Qaaws Query . I have exported my dashboard in to PDF file and then I saved my PDF. Now my CMS server is down . But i want to see the data in the dashboard . I mean i want to work on the PDF offline .
Exporting dashboard to pdf will not take data in to it . Please correct me if I am wrong?
Thank you .
Regards,
Dirasa

Hi,
If you have a snapshot of excel with all necessary information, then you can create swf file on the snapshot.
using the option Export Setting in Xcelsius.
If you need again on Demand refresh(while users are with in network), you can use some button, which again map with refresh on trigger in Connection Usage.
1. To create PDF with Default Excel Data (Offline Data), you need to create Xcelsius with button to trigger refresh.
2. Go and preview the report, click the button to refresh the report.
3. Create snapshot of the report in Excel and save.
4. In Export setting configure to use this Excel snapshot and Export to PDF.
Since we are not configured on load, it will not go for refresh while loading swf/pdf.
So you can workoffline.
Regards
Baby

"Work offline" workflow

Hi,
When a reviewer chooses to work offline, does Acrobat save a local copy of the review PDF to the reviewer's computer? Also, what happens if the offline reviewer closes the review PDF in offline mode? Are his comments saved, so that when he opens the review PDF again, he can choose to reconnect to the server and publish his comments?
Thanks.

Yes, when you close the file, you're prompted to save it locally. A reviewer doesn't have the option to close a review only the initiator does. After saving a PDF offline, the next time you open the file, Acrobat attempts to connect to the server so the comments can be published.

Signature in Form Central

I see previous discussion about capturing a signature in Adobe Forms. We need to obtain applicant signatures, and I'm wondering is there a way to do this on the form, that would be returned in the collection of the responses?
I'm open to other suggestions that might help resolve this issues. I see mention of Echo Sign, but I don't believe you can tie this to the Forms Central database.
Thank you.

I'm fairly new at this but for the server side of things I'd suggest you investigate formscentral
https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en_GB/home.html
I believe there's an option for customer signatures.
Distribute forms as a writable PDF.
Give respondents time to complete the PDF offline and submit online.
Allow respondents to download PDF or save for their records.
I hope this helps.

Why Did Adobe Remove CS6 Tutorial Videos but Leave References to them In "Help" topic articles

For example: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/create-panoramic-images-photomerge.html#create_360_ degree_panoramas_photoshop_extended references a video tutorial, http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1577v1001 which does not exist.
Further, the tutorial references a command that is not even in Photoshop Extended:
"6. Choose 3D > New Shape From Layer > Spherical Panorama."
So, between eliminating all the Online Help content for CS6, and downloadable PDFs for CS6, Adobe is leaving false trails to non-existent commands and tutorials in order to increase their extortion pressure on "perpetual license" holders to go for the Creative NOT-Cloud. This makes me even more determined never to put another penny in Adobe's pocket.
GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/) here I come!

That's what happens when adobe references at least four different versions of photoshop in the same "Help"
(cs5, cs6, cc, cc2014)
Anyway, in photoshop cs6, cc and cc2014 that location (3d>new shape from layer>spherical panorama) that pertained to photoshop cs5 is now 3D>New Mesh From Layer>Mesh Preset>Spherical Panorama

CS6 Help is not so useful

The new CS6 Help is harder to use. What happened?
I tried to search for ~CS6 looks~ but I don't get AE CS6 results. Same for ~CS6 3D~. That could cramp my style, or maybe some others. Help is not so useful if you can't search it!
Some items of note:
- I'm missing the "search this doc" checkbox.
- the AIR app didn't install correctly but I never want to see it again anyway.
- There's no PDF I can find either.

Just downloaded and installed the newly available pdf (offline) versions of the "Help and tutorials" in "Adobe Help Manager".
I read the documentation and have to conclude that I am still not happy with it.
Some time ago, I posted an example of the lack of a sufficient image trace manual in Illustrator CS6. I was looking for the documentation on the advanced features of the new image trace functionality. It just wasn't there and it still is not.
The direction Abobe has taken with the CS6 product documentation is worrisome:
Since when does a product ship before a manual has been completed? Apparently that's since CS6. Once again, if the manual isn't ready, the product cannot ship. Be glad it's CS6 and not your car.
What we have since CS6 is a form of release notes where differences between versions explain what has changed.
This should not replace a proper manual where all functionality is comprehensively described and explained as to be accessible to both new and existing users. This means that the manual should refer to CS6 functionality and not a collage of different version manual pages.
Also a manual should be complete. The CS6 manual in some cases is still missing (in-depth) topics; even on some new CS6 features.
The pdf "Help and tutorials" seems to have become a pdf bundle of the Adobe help webpages. It's probably cheaper to produce and it shows.
I have the impression that in some cases, tutorials will replace written manual texts. Sometimes, I do not want to sit through a video tutorial but use the manual to quickly search and read my information. That is what manuals are for.
If this is the aspired state of the "Adobe Help Manager", I have to conclude that it has absolutely no added value to me.
Cheers,
Dave
