Error in generating PDF output

Whenever, I generate a PDF output, RH goes through the process but displays an error message stating that the file_name.pdf is not found. It did the same thing when I tried generating a PDF of a sample project as well. Any pointers on how to resolve this issue?

I am just trying to see where there could be a problem. When you generate a PDF from RoboHelp a temporary Word file is automatically created in the background from which the PDF is created. What I was trying to get you to check was whether the problem is with the PDF creation or somewhere else. If you go through the same process to create a PDF but deselect the PDF creation option BUT select the Word creation option, a Word file will be created. If that works, it will have exactly the same fonts, styles as the PDF would if you can create it.
I am also a bit unsure what you mean. It sounds like you are generating a Word file, then changing the fonts and styles in Word. Why not just make sure that your fonts, styles in RoboHelp are correct and then just map these to your Word template when creating the Word file. Peter Grainge has some excellent tips on this on his site. It is well worth a read.

Display logo In PDF output ( Spool to PDF output )

Hi Experts,
In my requirement i am using 'REUSE_ALV_GRID' to display logo.
In our functionality we are executing report in background and we are converting spool into PDF output. Now our requirement is to display LOGO in PDF output.
Any pointers on this are appreciated.
Regards,
Bhanu.R

Hello,
Use the top-of-page parameter of the FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' and use the FM REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE to add the logo to the I_LOGO export parameter to get the logo in the ALV output. Now convert this to spool and to pdf and you can get the logo in the pdf as well

Frame artifacts appearing in PDF output

I have a problem with faint artifacts of object frames, rectangle frames and diagonals, etc. appearing in a PDF output when viewed in Acrobat Reader.They are hairline thin and are not visible in the InDesign document on screen.
Here are the circumstances of it occurring:
I'm using CS5.
The PDF is output for a publication that requires PDF X-1a:2003 standard.
The artwork, and any placed images are in CMYK. Transparency blend space is set to Document CMYK.
The background layer for the ad. is rich black 50:0:0:100 and the artifacts are showing up over a white logo.
Placed near the logo is a transparent background PSD image file with a drop shadow on the subject. (This object frame is one of the artifact sources) If this image is removed, the problem disappears.
Tif files don't seem to cause the same problem, but I'm having difficulty placing tifs and retaining transparency; the background always turns white, which doesn't happen with PSDs.
Be grateful of advice as to preventing this happening; Thanks.

We can confirm with a screen shot, but it sounds like a flattening artifact known as stitching. This shows on screen in the PDF, and often in a low-resolution print, but usually is not a problem on press.
You have to specifically opt to save transparency in the Tiff options dialog. You'll find once you do, though, that the stitching returns -- it's the transparency and flattening that causes this.
You can embed a screen shot using the camera icon on the web page like this:

Download Adobe-Form to PDF-File in Background

Hi,
I have developed an Adobeform which should be processed with a SM37-Job in background.
Is it possible to export the document as pdf to a Share on the filesystem?
thanks & best regards
Frank

Uploading and downloading adobe forms in sap report program This thread contains the answer,
let me extract it for you:
1. Use the FM 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
* Get the name of the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
     i_name       = 'ZAD_FORMNAME'
    IMPORTING
   e_funcname = V_FMNAME.
2. Call the generated function module to generate the pdf.
CALL FUNCTION lv_fmname
      EXPORTING
          /1bcdwb/docparams = s_docparams
      IMPORTING
         /1bcdwb/formoutput   = s_form_output
      EXCEPTIONS
         usage_error   = 1
         system_error       = 2
         internal_error     = 3.
3. The above structure 's_form_output' will have the PDF output in the XSTRING.
4. Use the FM - SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to convert the XSTRING to binary.
5. Finally call the GUI download Function Module or Method -
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

Spool to PDF output in application server

Hi Experts,
           I have a problem with converting spool to PDF. If I download the spool to presentation, the outputs is fine, BUT when I download it to application server and try to view it in al11, a set of characters comes out and if I try to save it on my local drive, an error message pops out stating that it could not read the file because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. Please help me. I've tried doing everything I can already. I cannot run the convertion of spool file to presentation because it always ends up as run time error, that's why I have no choice but to run it in background. These files needs to be distributed to all branch offices. Please, please.......help......I'm desperate......

Problems with image on PDF output.

In my report, I inserted an image (.jpg format) in the margin section. The background of the image is white. In Oracle Reports Builder, the image was just fine. However, when generating the PDF output, it seems like the image in PDF was mixed with another color, or the background color has been changed. Why?
Due to confidential information, I cannot provide the screenshot here.

Appears to be a case of exceeding the original 100% w/h of the images.
Generally the images should be 'prepped' in size (to match the quality when zoomed). So the starting size of the images/icons on the stage should be scaled smaller - then the zoom will factor to the original size. I hope that made some sense.

Watermark comes up in PDF output but does not show in RTF

Hi All,
I am using rtf templates with watermarks (or Background Images). The requirement is to convert these templates to pdf and rtf formats. The watermarks show perfectly when the rtf is converted to pdf format, but when the same template is converted to a rtf, all the formatting disappears and no watermark appears. What may be the issue here? It would be great if someone could help me out on this issue.
The version details are as follows:
The OBIEE and BI Publisher version is 10.1.3.4. We have not applied any patches except for one related (7140673) to presentation services. The OS is windows 2003 Server.
Is there any patch that I need to add to enable this feature? Or is this issue related to something else?

We have applied patch 11846804 (I believe the latest patch) and I only see a fix related to PDF output but no reference to anything for RTF in the readme file.... You may have to check with Oracle by logging an SR.
Thanks,
Bipuser

How can i automate .pdf output and organize by color/bw?

how can i "automate" multi-page .pdf output to preflight/imposition software workflow, organized by color/bw?
basically what i'm trying to do is create a simple output function from InDesign that allows the user to just export a multi-page .pdf into a hot folder and on through preflight and imposition software. i want to be able to tell the hot folder which pages are color -so it can separate, rename and direct color pages to a color queue and b/w pages to a b/w queue.
i've researched indesign distiller presets and the Acrobat JDF but the JDF isn't really meant for this exact purpose and doesn't help reduce the number of steps currently necessary to manually output/rename/etc.
is there another way that i can embed information into a .pdf that could be read by a hot folder?

You might check out this third-party plug-in for InDesign. It may or may not help you (I've never used it). I just saw it on the new Adobe Exchange (beta in Adobe Labs). Here's the description:
Output Factory automates printing and exporting from Adobe InDesign. Export as single pages with variable file names, output layer versions, update modified links on the fly, preflight InDesign files before output, output to several format at once and much more.
Just select the documents, adjust settings and Output Factory will do the rest for you. Keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when you return in the morning.
Key features:
• Output multiple InDesign files automatically
• Output as single pages
• Automate printing and exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats
• Output files to multiple formats at once
• Layer versioning: output layer combinations as single files
• Update modified links automatically
• Variable output file names
• Preflight InDesign files and final PDFs
• Supports books and booklet printing
• Send output files over Internet and locally
• Detailed output history
System Requirements:
- Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6
- Mac OS X 10.5 and later, Intel-based Mac

Query about Email Address Format & PDF Output

I'm using XML Publisher and an RTF word template linked to an Oracle XML file to generate PDF Purchase Orders.
Part of the PDF output displays an email address.
If the email address is in this format:
[email protected]
then when the PDF output is generated, the address is outputted into a clickable hyperlink which sends an email to:
[email protected]
However, if the email address is set to:
[email protected]
then the resulting email hyperlink will only be sent to:
[email protected] (i.e. all to the right of the dot)...
Just wondered if there is any way to stop this from happening?
Thank you

Sorry - I know months have passed since I first raised this query.
Just double checking again, to see if anyone is aware of a workaround for this email issue? Is there anything I can do in the XSL in the background to force a particular email hyperlink format?
Thank you

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

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

PDF output does not refresh data in BI Publisher, XML and HTML do refresh

I just upgraded to BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 and I noticed that the PDF format of the reports does not reflect recent changes in data, while XML data and HTML output do reflect changes in data immediately.
I'm using BI Publisher to print APEX applications reports. When I change some data in APEX forms, I click again in the Print button and the data remains unchanged. I made some testing inside Oracle BI Publisher, and noticed that XML data and HTML output do reflect changes, but PDF output remains with the old data for some unknown amount of time. I cannot identify a method to force the PDF to refresh, just un-log and log in again several times until the data appears updated. This is serious because when users change data and print again, they expect the changes to be reflected in the new printable report, and may not notice that the data is the old version.
OS is Oracle Enterprise Linux.
Any help on this will be very welcome.
Francisco

Open the report in Edit Mode Click on the reports and in the properties section Uncheck the
Enable Document Cache Property and your issue should be resolved.

Animated GIF in PDF output

Hi all,
is it possible to hand an animated GIF to the PDF output (remaining animated)?
FM10 and AcrobatX work together rather fine concerning other animation formats such as SWF or AVI. I am not sure however wether the PDF format supports animated GIFs at all.
Robert

As a side, I've never ever got an embedded avi to covert to pdf. I do it all in the pdf.
