Pdf printing with linux client

hi,
i'm working with a SuSE 9.3 Client and I want to use PDF-Printing with the Acrobat Reader. With Windows Xp it works fine, but if i choose the PDF-Printer with the Linux-Client nothing happens. The PDF-Job exist in the cue. What do i have to do that it works?
P.S. I`am from germany ;-)

Thanks! But on which machine do i have to put the lp command?
Application-Server?
Tarantella Server?
Client?
I have put it on my Client! But nothinng happens.
My PATH --> /home/me/bin:/usr/local/sgdee:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin

  • Apex 4.2.2 PDF Printing with Apex 2.0 Listener

    We recently installed Apex 4.2 with the Apex 2.0 Listener and can successfully print interactive reports and classic reports to PDF.  I viewed Mark Sewtz PDF Printing with Apex 4.2.2 and saw how he is using third party tools to format reports.  We have also looked into the Jasper Report Integration Toolkit, but have only got it working on the Tomcat environment, not WebLogic.
    I'm trying to download a classic report in PDF format with our logo displayed at the header.  In the print attributes section, there is a section for header.  I've tried adding the following in the header section:
    <img src = "http://hr.unm.edu/common/images/unm_dept_logo.gif">
    No Logo Prints
    #APP_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
    Prints in header:
    wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?
    p_security_group_id=3930016164431413%26p_flow_id=106%26p_fname=unm_dept_logo.gif
    #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
    Prints in header: /i/unm_dept_logo.gif
    I've also added the logo in the report region, prior to the columns printing, but no logo downloads to PDF.
    Does the Apex Listener only render text?  Is there any way to get the logo to print in the header without using a third party tool?  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi,
    There are different options to include images in your PDF exports. What's important to understand though is that with the PDF export functionality we separate the formatting from the actual data. So the formatting is defined in your RTF or XSL-FO templates and the data is stored in the XML that APEX generates based on your report data. We have several formatting options exposed on the print attributes pages, i.e. you can define page formatting, dimensions, fonts, colors, etc - all of these are applied to what we call generic XSL-FO templates. Those templates are generic in that they can be used with different reports, having variable numbers of columns and variable column names. Those formatting attributes can not be used however with named column templates, such as those that you generate with BI Publisher or those third-party tools I talked about in my Blog.
    So if you want to use these formatting options, you need a generic report layout - which you get out of the box using the built-in layout. But you also have the option to create your own generic report layout (see Shared Components -> Report Layouts). When creating a custom generic report layout, you'll get a copy of the built-in layout as a starting point. Once created, you can manually modify this layout to meet your needs. As you edit this template, you'll find a number of #....# substitution strings. This is what APEX uses at runtime to fill in your formatting values as well as to assemble your generic layout based on your result set.
    Now one way to include your own image would be to add an image reference to this generic report layout. You can't use the page header or footer attributes on the print attributes page for that because the FOP rendering engine does not understand or translate HTML. It renders XSL-FO. So to add your own image reference, you need to use XSL-FO mark-up. If you want to add an image to your page header, look for the #PAGE_HEADER# substitution string in the "Page Template" attribute of your generic report layout. You should be able to find the following:
    <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
        #PAGE_HEADER#
    </fo:inline>
    Now assuming you have a file stored in your local images directory on localhost, you could add the following external graphic reference:
    <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
        <fo:external-graphic src="http://localhost:8080/i/cloud.gif" content-height="scale-to-fit" height="30px"  content-width="150px" scaling="non-uniform"/>
        #PAGE_HEADER#
    </fo:inline>
    Once you're done with your chanages, save the report layout and edit your report. Go to the print attributes and select your generic report layout and then run your report page and export the PDF. Provided the APEX Listener is able to find this external image reference, it will now be included above your report in your PDF document.
    Regards,
    Marc

  • Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex  FOP.WAR

    Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex fop.war/apex_fop.jsp
    Hello,
    Excuse me bad english.
    I have a problem with Oracle XE and Printing from Reports over Tomcat 6.0.13.
    I have update Oracle XE with Apex 3.1 and it works fine.
    Now i have tried to Print a report to PDF. So i have deployed the FOP.WAR from Apex Utilities under Tomcat.
    I see in Tomcat Manager http://localhost:8888/manager/html/list that the FOO
    has been deployed and is running.
    If i try to print then i get this Message down to this page.
    Can anybody give me a hint to solve this problem???
    Hint
    To resolve the problem i have installed Oracle OC4J with same Port and deployed
    the same foo.war file.
    Then works and all printing from Oracle Apex work fine and okay.
    So i thing the Apex and Oracle work correct.
    But we have a small Application so i would prefer to work with Tomcat a application Server.
    Becaus of previous Errors have copied some *.jar files to C:\tomcat6.0.13\lib
    but i thing this is not the Problem.

  • Wireless Lan connection issue with Linux clients

    Hi
    In a large Wireless Lan enviroment for a university, we have 3 WISM moduls attached on a 6k hw - Manged by ACS v6.0.181.0
    We recently upgraded the software version of the controllers from 4.x to 7.0.98.0 - the Emergency Image version is 5.2.157.0
    Since then, the students with Linux clients have massive connection issue - repeated connection lost in a short time period.
    However the students with Windows clients have no problem at all.
    The studends report, that their linux clients getting so much of some kind of unnecessary broadcast traffic which can not be handled by the NIC - and the NIC goes down - and this happens all 5-10 minutes.
    Affected Linux clients are: Ubuntu v10.10 - also OpenSuse, Fedora and Arch-linx with latest OS version.
    Any Idea how I could solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Nicolas
    Thanks for your reply. The broadcast forwarding is disabled on WLC's.
    Pls find below the attached picture, which shows the captured broadcast traffic on a linux client (sent by a student to me).
    I'm not sure, if its really only the broadcast traffic, which the linux clients can not handle.
    From my point of view, it seems also to be that the linux clients are somehow disadvantaged among the other clients like windows or mac, if they all trying to get a wireless connection.
    But the fact is only the linux clients are affected - and this happens to the linux clients only in our wireless infrastructure.
    Windows or Mac clients have no such problem at all

  • SGD 4.6 - PDF Printing on Windows Clients not working

    New Default PDF Printer Driver for Windows Applications
    The default printer driver used for Portable Document Format (PDF) printing from Windows application servers is now HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS. This change was made to provide support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 application servers.
    In previous releases, the default PDF printer driver was HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS. If you are upgrading from an installation that uses this printer driver, SGD is reconfigured automatically to use the new default printer driver. If you are upgrading from an installation where you have configured SGD to use a different printer driver, your existing configuration is preserved on upgrade. If you are using using Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, or Windows XP application servers, the new default printer driver results in the PDF printer not being mapped.

  • Acrobat 8 PDF printing with Windows 8.1/MS office 2013

    I upgraded computer to Windows 8.1 and MS office professional 2013 and reinstalled adobe acrobat 8. 
    When I try to create pdf files from office 2013 document (Excel, Word, Publisher), computer freezes when window opens to select pfd document destination.
    I tried opening office document in acrobat and try to create pdf file. I get pdf maker missing at this point. 
    Before updating computer I ran compatibility tool and it indicated my acrobat 8.3.1 was compatible with Windows 8.1; however noted that I needed to go to adobe website for help with adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2.  I don’t know what adobe ExtendScript toolkit 2 is and if it is associated with Adobe Acrobat or CS3.

    I have no idea about the extend tool. You need to update to the latest version of AA 8, but it appears you are there with 8.3.1. You should print to the Adobe PDF printer. OFFICE 2013 is not compatible with the AA8 PDF Maker. So far I have only seen one person suggesting success with AA8 and Win8.1. If you can give details about your problem, we might be able to help, but you may not be successful. Only time and trial will tell.

  • PDF Printing with FOP/Apache Tomcat/J4LFOPServer in windows

    Hi everyone,
    I have been learning to create pdf report with Apex 4.2 and BI Publisher 10 which I have been successful with. Now I like to learn how to create pdf reports using FOP thinking of the customers who will not spend money on BI Publisher. I have gone through the documents and procedures described in Java 4 Less. http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php and http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php?info=apex. Configured Apex instance setting accordingly.
    For default layout a tabular pdf report is created.
    I have created an xsl-fo file named Formatted_report.fo on same query and xml file from report query with BI Desktop. But when I try to print a formatted output with Formatted_report.fo report layout it does not work(J4LFOPServer ). but same layout with .rtf template works fine (BI Publisher Print Server).

    hi,
    if you use the J4lFOPServer as you write, you can set it in debug mode as described here:
    http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php?info=faq#debug
    you will then see the XML data and the FO data in the server window. Maybe you can see there if there is an error and that can help you fixing it.

  • I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

    Hi all,
    i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
    I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
    Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
    What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

    Hey Daniel,
    Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
    If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
    This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
    Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
    Restart your computer.
    Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC  Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
    Let me know if the issue persist.

  • PDF Printing with images

    Hello all-
    I was wondering if it is possible to create a PDF document with images from a report that has images, through the FOP. I have tried this on APEX 3.2.1 and APEX 4.0.1, but with no success. I installed FOP in a standalone OC4J that I have installed on my PC and this works fine. I am using the Demonstration Application to test creating the PDF with images by trying to print page 23 - it is a report with images. I get a PDF report, but the image column is blank - no image, no errors. Has anyone been able to accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg

    Hi,
    yes you can, this tool allows you to create FOP templates with images (look at the examples)
    http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php?info=guide
    You can of course create your own FOP templates without this tool, there is a XSL-FO tag to do that, you must make sure the images are available to the print server, either by referencing images on the file system or deploying the images in the print server.

  • PDF Printing with XSL-FO and Apache FOP

    Can anyone show me in the right direction for this? I've been hitting a wall for the past 2 weeks or so and it's really starting to infuriate me. How am I supposed to work this out? Where do I start? Let's say I create a layout file with a WYSIWYG XSL editor, in what format do I export it? XSL, XSLT or XSL-FO? I figured it was XSL-FO, but who knows. I tried them all anyways, but nothing seems to work. I seem to be missing a step or something, 'cause something's definitely not right.
    I created a report query (which actually contains two queries):

    Best regards,
    Mathieu

    Hello Mathieu
    i assume that the default PDF printing is working, but that you want to create some better looking reports and therefore use a different non-generic XSL-FO.
    You can do several things in Apex but you can use the Apache-Fop conversion also indepent from Apex.
    What you need is:
    1) An XML (Data) File. You can get it from your report query when you say export it to XML.
    2) The XSL-FO (Layout) file. THis is the processing instruction that says how convert the XML Data into an XML-FO. You can create it manually or with some tool.
    3) The next step is to render the XML-FO into any output format (pdf, rtf, html)
    The creation of the XML-FO and of the PDF are done by the apache fop converter (cocoon or Batik framework if I remember correctly) in a single process but you can influence it so that both steps are done separately. See also: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/running.html
    The advantage is that you usually get much better error messages from the single steps.
    My recommendation would be to do all the steps with a very basic report first.
    Then gradually improve the complexity of the report, the data and the layout.

  • PDF printing with oc4j apache fop not working

    I am configuring PDF printing in Apex 3.1.1. I have set up a shared component report query with a simple query. I have implemented the oc4j standalone and implemented the fop.war as specified in the "pdf printing in Apex" documentation. When I use the test button to verify the output of the report, I am redirected to a 404-page not found and the oc4j instance logs the following:

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Hello,
    Just did some more search on this, and apparently it's a more common problem:

  • APEX PDF Printing with DEfault OC4J in 11g

    Hi,
    is it possible to use the default oc4j installation that comes with 11g for PDF printing ?
    I tried http://127.0.0.1:8888/ that worked
    but http://127.0.0.1:8888/em failed
    The examples (available from the start-page) /examples/jsp doesn´t work also.
    Thanks
    Marco

  • PDF printing with UTF8 characterset

    Hi,
    Stats:
    E-BIZ version :- 11.5.10.2
    DB:- 10.2.0.3
    Report BUilder :- 6i
    Character Set :- UTF8.
    I have some doubt while viewing/printing pdf reports from Oralce Application. Can you please suggest if it is possible to print pdf's from oracle apps with UTF8 characterset and without having 3rd party software to convert pdf report to postscript and a printer that can understand postscript. We do have PASTA and IX configured in our enviornment.Reports created are in BI/XML publisher.
    Actually we have one 3rd party tool for printing and wanted to get rid of it due to financial constraints. Can you please suggest if it is possible to print pdf's from oracle apps without having 3rd party tool. I have read lot of document and completely lost. Oracle some where says it is possible and at other place says 'If you are on UTF8 chacterset then you need to have XML/BI publisher with PASTA and 3rd party software' but in my enviornment we have some pdf reports that are bypassing 3rd party software for printing. I am just lost.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    JD

    Hi,
    This line confuses me, do i require 3rd party software to print from oracle apps if my characterset is UTF8(althoug i am using XML publisher), I believe yes -- See (Note: 422508.1 - About Oracle XML Publisher Release 5.6.3), Step 8 Enable PDF Printing in Oracle Applications. (System Administrator)
    Workaround section says
    6. From Oracle Applications via the Adobe Acrobat Reader, a PDF output file can be viewed and
    printed.>>>> NO i not want to use it.This is a workaround to print PDF directly from the application. If you do not want to use this approach, use the other one mentioned above.
    7.Although, it may be possible to create a custom print driver or print program using the Adobe
    Acrobat Distiller, viable instructions on how to perform such a custom setup is very scarce, see
    Note 262657.1--intended for Latin 1 character set environments.>>>> I am on UTF8
    I would not recommend this approach as this may (or may not) work.
    8. Use Pasta, an Oracle post printing program, to change a copy of the report output file to the
    desired or printable output format.>>>>>> I have PASTA but does that mean i can print all my pdf reports using it. Don't i need 3rd party tool now.See (Note: 239196.1 - PASTA 3.0 Release Information).
    9. Lastly, use another format like Postscript, that is fully supported for viewing and printing>>>>> How to use it? Can anyone please explain.Change the output of the concurrent program to Postscript (Concurrent > Program > Define), and you can view the output using Ghost Viewer.

  • PDF Printing with V3

    I have been reading http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html to configure for PDF printing.
    I already have OAS installed with some OC4J applications. It has a BI farm that includes Discoverer, HTTP_Server, Forms, Reports_Server, OC4J_BI_Forms, OC4J_Portal, OC4J_Wireless, Portal, Web_Cache and Management all running. Is the BI Publisher described in the document above different that the BI farm installed with OAS? Can/Should I install the BI Publisher on the same physical machine? Or does it need to be installed as an additional component in the existing OAS farm?
    I guess I am do not understand the connection. Perhaps the BI Publisher and the BI farm in OAS are completely seperate and only share a common name?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Scott

    Scott,
    Based on the information I have from the BI Publisher team, the only product currently including the version of BI Publisher that's needed for APEX integration is this:
    Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 10.1.3.2
    And can be downloaded here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/enterprise-edition.html
    I'm not an expert on OAS, so I can't answer the question on where to best install this. I would recommend you post this question on the XML Publisher forum:
    BI Publisher
