Pdf page generation in javascript

Hi guys
I want to find out a way to generate a pdf page for data taken from a javascript page.
I would be really obliged with any sort of help.
Thanking you in advance

You're here at a Java forum, not at a JavaScript forum. Those are two entirely different languages.
If you actually meant Java/JSP instead of JavaScript; the iText API is said to be a good Java API to generate PDF files.

Modifying a pdf page using Javascript

Hi all,
- I am having an html report that consists of many html pages.
- Each page of these html pages contains a table or more, in addition to some buttons that hides/display specific rows in these tables. And these buttons are programmed using Javascript.
I would like to convert these html files to a single pdf file.
My question is: If I converted the report to html, will my buttons work. I mean will my Javascript buttons hide/display table rows in the pdf pages ?
Thank you,
Moustafa

Even though there is some common objects, properties, and methods between Web JS and Acrobat JS, Acrobat uses some very unique objects, properties, and methods so there is no straight forward conversion possible. You would need to rewrite much of the JS and make form fields that could be manipulated. Also Acrobat makes static forms, so no dynamic re flowing of content would be possible.

Mouse events on a pdf page (javascript)

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to detect mouse position, movement and clicks events/infos from javascript at /app level on a pdf page.
Thanks in advance

is it possible that the user moves the mouse over the button area while keeping it pressed and my code gets x,y events of this movement? Can I have this with some other control ? (signature field?)

Best way to view PDF page(s) with in a custom program

What is the best approach for viewing PDF page(s) in a custom program? I know you can hook in Adobe PDF Viewer, but I need access to mouse clicks and location on the page. As well, I need to control the scale and zooming of the PDF page(s).
I'm not looking to change the PDF file, but rather draw over top of the page(s).
Thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction,
Shayne

Actually, Ive already implemented an interface after throughly reading all the Acrobat documentation on Javascript within the PDFs. Its functional but not spectacular. It simply uses the setField function to get and set the values to the Field objects. It do this by posting messages to and from the web page that is hosting the PDF object.
I was wondering if there is a better way. It needs to stay a thin-client interface - nothing besides PDF Reader loaded on the workstations. I am currently investigating the several other methods but was hoping for some guidance.

How to change pdf page in an iframe content automatically

I open a pdf in my web page with <iframe> and the pdf-option for example #page=2 equals week number 2 of a year.
How could I change the viewable page as a function of the actual week number of a year (#1 - 52)
At the moment my html code looks like:
<div id="tr-inside_anw2">
    <iframe class="org_pdf_anw"
    src="attendance.pdf#page=2"></iframe>
</div>
Is there a way to use a variable for the week number? or is it better to use a javascript "function dayofweek_iframe()"
which changes the whole iframe content?
Is there somebody, who know a solution with code? Thanks

Thanks, it worked on my Mac apps. But the problem is that the new numeration is not recognized by my PDF Reader on iPad (goodnotes), so numeration starts from 1...

Blank PDF Pages

Hi ,
I want to create a blank PDF Page and append it to the target PDF file at specific location.
Can anybody please help me in how can I do this using Acrobat SDK?
Kindly let me know if any references to this.
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul Rasheed.

Using Acrobat Javascript you can create a empty document with the method newDoc. With the method insertPages you can insert pages.

How do I: put multiple PDF pictures into one PDF page?

I have just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 - so this apllication and its associated SDK are the only applications available to me for use.
Adobe Acrobat was chosen because of its AutoCAD capabilities (when AutoCAD is not present). i.e. Using Acrobat & AutoCAD's plot configuration files & Pen / colour selection table ensures the output has correct line thicknesses (sometimes colours in CAD are used to represent a line's thickness) - this is preserved when using Acrobat.
The generated output is fantastic. However, when I try to print the output via Excel / Word (used for layout) - my perfect output is reduced to imperfect results.
So: is it possible to layout multiple PDF pictures inside one PDF entity for printing purposes such that the original output is not distorted?
I have in the past put pages in front or behind other pages but cannot find any references or code that works with Pro 9 nor indeed the manual way to insert PDF pages at any location on a single PDF Page?
I'll try and explain. My template coud consist of 6 boxes on a single A4 page thus:
My base PDF Page (can be thought of as a template - ideally it wont be printed - but even if it is - it wont be printed on any media material) has 6 areas (any number of areas up to 100) on it. In each area, there is a box. It is within these boxes that I wish to place a PDF Picture. Not all pictures will be the same. How can I do that? Ideally I'd like some example C# code - though doing it as a user will suffice, for now.
Is there a way of programmatically selecting each of the above boxes on the base PDF Document?
I do know of one manual method (though it seems long winded) and it is not accurate enough in that (even though the layers are deselected) - the hidden layers are subsequently outputed too - not good!
Uses a button icon over each box.
All the current Adobe help for the SDK refers to Pro 8 and previously - which all seems to have now been replaced in Pro 9
This question will be placed in the Developer & User Forums - as it pertains to both.
Thankyou in advance for anyone that either knows any workarounds or any ways to affect a solution.

Picture of what I want to see:
What I get, and don't want to see is:
The PDF was generated using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 from an AutoCAD LT (DWG) file without AutoCAD being present but making use of a plot configuration (PC3) file & pen table (CTB) file. The resultant file [WhatIWantToSee.pdf] is perfect - all the lines are the right thickness & colour and are perfect vectors (with no construction / proofing layers visible). When you view that file in Acrobat and show the "Layers" property box, you see that the correct number of layers whilst are still present are indeed turned off.
However, when I add a forms-button to one of the rectangles (please refer to initial post - where there are 6 rectangles), and display same file as icon display. The resultant view is the one shown above named [ What I get and don't want to see]. It seems the saved layer settings are all ignored?
I generated the PDF file through Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 Menu | File | Create PDF | From File (Files of type Autodesk) | Options | Selected Layers | Layout | Last Active Layout.
Rectangles are regular content elements - not fields (in the general meaning of form-fields).

Extract PDF pages with it's actual page numbers...

Hi scripting gurus,
We have more than 40 of PDF documents each document contain multiple pages. Using Acrobat Professional 7.0 and 8.0 with MAC platform. We have the script to extract the pages and to suffix running numbers with the document name, please find the script below. For example CH01.pdf document total number of pages is 10, but the actual page number starts with 11. So We have to extract each pages as individual documents and the page number will followed by document name with "_" separation, (Eg: CH01_11.pdf). I have tried so many ways to include the page numbers with the document name but i can't.
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 1, j = 0; j < numPages; i += 1, j += 1) {
extractPages ({
nStart : j,
nEnd : j == numPages - 1 ? j : j + 0,
cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/"+startName+"_"+i+".pdf"
So please can anyone look into this and help for me.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, replace numPages with this.numPages
Also, this doesn't make any sense:
nEnd : i == numPages - 1
I have tried what you have said above, but it is not working. Its showing the same error (missing ; before statement)in 4th line of the script.
Please find the complete code below;
// see if we need to define a global offset first file
if(global.fPageOffset == undefined) {
var global.fPageOffset = 10; // start at 10
/*Split pdf pages with pNum suffixed*/
var rename = /.*\/|\.pdf$/ig;
var startName = this.path.replace(rename,"");
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++) { this.extractPages ({ nStart : i, nEnd : i == this.numPages - 1 , cPath : "/Macintosh HD/Users/Beaconpmg/Desktop/ExtractFolder/" + startName + "_" + (i + global.PageOffset) + ".pdf" }); }
// add finished file's number of pages to global page offest
global.fPageOffest += this.numPages;

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Is there a way to make Safari open PDF pages without opening Finder and select Reader from my applications folder?

Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Anybody out there?

Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file

Hello,
I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2. I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL. The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age=41
I put the above line in my chm file. It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show. It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page.
However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file. After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41. It ends at.pdf.
Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?
Thanks
John

Hi there
That link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.
I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.
CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.
Cheers... Rick

How can I print a booklet where each pdf page is vertically placed on each half page instead of one pdf on each booklet page?

I've printed a booklet before but each pdf page had two powerpoint slides on each pdf file. This binder has one powerpoint slide on each pdf page and if I try to print it as a binder, each pdf page takes up the whole half-page on the booklet. I want to print two pdf slides on each page of the booklet so when I open the booklet, there are four powerpoint slides printed. So I basically want to combine the ability to print multiple slides per page but in a booklet form.

Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.
