PDF Output Encrption/Password for EBS

Hi Tim,
Can you please provide some more information on how to encrypt/password protect the pdf output of a template. I am a EBS user and am using 5.6.3 version of XMLP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Simar
Branched your question to a new thread - it will get lost otherwise
Couple of methods you can use - I'll cover them in a blog article tomorrow or Wed

  • Error generating PDF output in Workspace for Sharepoint while batch scheduling

    Hi,
    I am trying to schedule a batch in Hyperion workspace which needs to generate output in SharePoint. I have done the setting in ExportFolder in FRCONFIG.cmd /Mbeans  as

    I tried to execute this batch file in local  directory and it generates the required output but not in Sharepoint.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    There is a warning about a malformed topic. I have seen projects  where there is nothing wrong with the topic but where the machine needed more RAM. What are the basics of your PC?
    Also try turning off PDF and generating a Word document instead. If that works, PDF from there. Does that work?

  • Lost of APPS password for EBS 11i (11.5.10.2)

    I need to reset APPS password in my test environment. The APPS password is now messed up and I need to find a way to reset it. I am in the process of cloning an existing environment. I can not start all the services yet. The FNDCPASS utility works only when you know a valid APPS password. However, my current APPS password is not working anymore. Is there way to accomplish this?
    Greatly appreciated if anyone can help.

    Hi,
    Really bad situation....although you might still come over it if you have not played around much...
    Do you have any other environement with apps password working and also if you have not run autoconfig on target server? If yes then it would be easier...
    Take backup of FND_USER, FND_ORACLE_USERID on target server(where you are facing issue).
    truncate these table from target.
    eport these tables from some working env(source) and import it here(target) and then use apps pass of source to work here.

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 pro, I tried using Document Processing -> Batch Processing, where I created a new sequence of commands from the available list, but it didn't work out as intended, and it doesn't cover the whole cycle I want.
    I hope you could tell me the way to accomplish this.
    Thanks.

    This can't be done in a batch process in Acrobat since you can't set an encryption password in this way (you can either set the same password to all files, or have the batch prompt you to enter each one separately).
    Also, where are the passwords and email addresses come from? Are they a part of the file? Stored in a text file or database somewhere?

  • Indesign CS4 won't retain passwords for placed PDFs

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded to CS4 from CS2 and I'm having a problem with placed PDF files with password protection.
    I wonder if anyone knows why CS4 seems unable to retain passwords for secure PDF files that I have previously placed. Every time I open a document CS4 brings up a 'PDF security password' dialog and I have to enter the password for every placed secure PDF file in the document – no matter how many times I input the passwords and save the document it still happens.
    I never encountered this problem in CS2, all I used to do was place a PDF, enter the password for the secure file and then the next time I opened the document with the placed PDFs it would just open without being prompted for the passwords – CS2 just 'remembered' them or something.
    There's probably a setting for this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so any help with this would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Thanks for your replies guys, I think that a little more information about what I'm doing might help you understand my situation.
    I am the creator of the PDFs, which are adverts, and these are secured with only one password (for permissions) in my workflow to allow them to be proofed to the client (but to prevent them from being passed on and subsequently altered by third parties.) The adverts are subsequently placed into an InDesign document for a publication which I solely produce.
    Previously, when placing these files in InDesign CS2 you only had to enter the permissions password once to place the file and from then on InDesign CS2 did not require the password to be entered again even if you closed the document and re-opened it (unless the artwork had been modified).
    I've been using CS2 with this workflow for years and there's never been a problem with my PDFs – not event at the pre-press stage as I generate a high res PDF file for the entire publication and upload this to repro with whom I have a close working relationship and I'm certain that they would have informed me of any problems. Although I think that the final PDF would not be affected by passworded files?
    I quite agree, I wouldn't expect someone else to place a file that required a password to do so – but that's not the case here. I'd like to understand why CS4 (and interestingly it seems CS3) doesn't retain the permissions password after it has been entered in the first instance – in the same way that CS2 did. It's inconvenient to have to enter it for each advert in the document every time I re-open it.
    Yes, I could remove the security, but for me, that seems to defeat the object of being able to generate just one PDF file in the first place to use in my workflow.

    Because in smartforms, we will convert the OTF output to PDF and that value is passed to GUI_DOWNLOAD FM as input (lt_pdf) , whereas in adobeforms the output itself is in PDF so i dont how to retreive the values from adobeforms and pass it to the above FM, so that I can save 'N' no. of sales order outputs in one PDF file.
    Kindly help me out in this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Karthikeyan G.

    Hi Vishnu,
    I read the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM documentation, if I am trying to download binary type of file, It is mandatory to pass file size.
    In my case, since I am having PDF file, so i don't no how to get the size of the pdf file.
    As you said, if i use Convert_OTF FM, i don't have data to pass to the OTF and LINES tables.
    I am having values of PDF in xstring format in ls_output1-pdf, which i got using the below FM.
    CALL FUNCTION lv_funcname (FM name)

          /1bcdwb/docparams  = ls_docparams

    Kindly tell me what values i need to pass to the FM you mentioned in order to get the size of the file.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Karthikeyan G.
    But still I am not sure, how the pdf output is coming for single input whereas if i give in a range, its failing. In single input, i am not giving binary file size still the output is coming.. but for range its not. Kindly help me out in this.

  • Special character displaying as ? in PDF output

    Hi,
    I am generating BI publisher report through Oracle application.
    My Pdf output is ok for Finnish and German language. But for polish font I am getting ? in PDF output. When I open XML file it says
    " The XML page cannot be displayed
    Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
    An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource"
    In database Polish font is stored perfectly.
    I tried this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> for generating XML. But I did not work.
    I do not know what is the problem. Please help me.
    Regards,
    Faiyaz

    create or edit xdo.cfg file.
    For XML Publisher Desktop it is ( in my case) c:\Program Files\Oracle\XML Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config\.
    Find section fonts, add your font, that support polish. like that
    <font family="Times New Roman" style="normal" weight="normal">
    <truetype path="C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\times.ttf" />
    </font>
    For XML publisher is Note:399518.1. I think it can help you.

  • Problem with PDF output quality

    We recently upgraded to CS4 Suite Design premium and i am having problems getting illustrator to print high quality output.  I have a file created in illustrator which contains 300dpi tiff images created in photoshop (CMYK colorspace in both photoshop image and illustrator file)  when i print this file to pdf everything looks hi-rez except these images.  i have attempted adjusting all the obvious settings in the print dialoge box including:  Output/Printer Resolution, Graphics/Postscript level, Advanced/overprint and transparency flattener options/custom settings.  and nothing has worked.  Other things i have noted, is that in the print dialog box the only presets listed are Custom, Default and Default Web/Video/Mobile.  I have looked through the online help files and found the info on how to add "High Quality Print" to my adobe pdf presets, however it doesn't work.  furthermore i have tried the instructions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WSA79FA899-BC95-401e-BD44-5B26BC31B369.html  where it says to move the files from "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Application Support\Adobe PDF"  however there is no folder called "Application Support" on my system.  I have run out of ideas.
    The odd thing here, is that i can take the AI file into photoshop, and print a "High Quality Print" from photoshop with no problems, but i'd like to remove this step to speed up my workflow.
    I've attached both the high-quality pdf output from photoshop and the low-quality pdf output from illustrator for reference. (look closely at the logo's)

    Figured it out myself! yay!  (only took my entire moring)
    The solution:
    Dont print to PDF!
    SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
    This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

  • My Concurrent Program PDF output is in Russia instead of in English.  Why?

    I have selected Format as PDF and Style as "Landscape" and I am using English version as many others. Why am i getting Russian(or its some other language I really dont know that script) characters when I run the report?
    I am using
    RDBMS : 10.2.0.2.0
    Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
    Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.27.0
    Application Object Library : 11.5.0
    Please suggest me to get English font in my PDF output file.
    I forgot to mention that I am able to see output in english when I run the report with Format as "Text".

    Since your characterset is set to UTF8, generating any report in PDF format (with or without printing) is not supported. Oracle Reports 6i cannot generate PDF output with multi-byte characters. In Oracle Applications 11i with Oracle Reports 6i, PDF output is supported for only Latin-1 character sets such as US7ASCII, WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252.
    Under UTF8, generating PDF via the XML Publisher is supported and it can be done. Alterative workaround is to use another format like Postscript (Assuming that PASTA is already installed and configured).

  • Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

    Good day everyone,
      I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
    The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
    Background (for clarity's sake): 
      Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
    mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
    Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
    System and software using:
    Windows  XP and 7 Professional
    Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro
    I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
    I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
    Thank you for helping!

    Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
    e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
    Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
    Or how about recommending a program which does that??
    Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
    Thanks!

    Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

  • In Pages 5.0.1 option to set password for editing document is gone when exporting as a pdf

    In last version of Pages, I would make a proposal to a customer and then go to 'share' and then choose 'PDF' from the drop down. Next screen allowed me to choose the option of password protecting the document from being edited. This new version of Pages only seems to allow setting a password for opening the document. I do not need to password protect the document from being opened, just edited. Any help for this new problem? Apple always seems to remove features that are so helpful and useful when they 'upgrade' apps., very frustrating!

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.
