PDF report saving with double .pdf extension

Hi Team,
SR Ref: SR 3-5640054491
We came across an issue where in the .pdf report generated out of our BI publisher process is
showing a double .pdf (<xyz>.pdf.pdf) extension, when trying to save from the browser on a MAC - this is reproducible and consistent.
However the data inside the file is proper .
We don't see this issue on a windows machine.
Can someone help us on understanding this behavior and resolving this.
Regards,

You do not need to provide file extension since it's already added. Mac OS X hides file extensions by default, you can choose to show all file extensions, overriding the "Hide extension" setting in the "Get Info" window. To do this, click on the desktop to activate the Finder if is not already active and select "Preferences..." from the Finder menu. Then click on the Advanced tab in the Finder Preferences window. Finally, check the "Show all file extensions" box. All file extensions will now be visible both on the desktop and in open windows. If you want to hide file extensions again, simply open the Finder Preferences window and uncheck the box.

Files been saved with a conflict extension

SInce I upgraded from Lightroom 4.3 to version 5.0 I and having problems when saving files to my computer. The anomaly is that it isn't all the time.
The files are being saved with a .conflict extension. when exported from Lightroom. - For example tornado.conflict1 when i name the file tornado.
Any help wouldbe appreciated.

How do I insert a pdf behind or with another pdf?

To combine PDFs, you can subscribe to one of Adobe's services (Adobe ExportPDF or Adobe PDF Pack) or you can purchase Adobe Acrobat.

Filling out PDF forms & Saving with Preview

I've been having some frustrations with PDFs & Preview.
1.) Recently I had to fill out the IRS W9 form. With Preview I filled it out, added my signature and saved it. Again when I sent it to someone else, they could only see my signature and not any of the stuff I filled out. On my end, I could see everything.
2.) Also recently a colleague sent me a PDF form, which he filled out and saved with Adobe Pro. He needed my signature, which I added using the new signature feature of Preview. Saved it and sent it back to him. When he opened it on his end, all of the information he had filled out had disappeard, and only my signature remained. If I opened the same file on my end, I could see everything.
So, the new signature feature is great, but what good is it if I can't sign a PDF document and send it back to someone without it making everything else filled out on the document invisible to them? Yes, I can do Print ==> Save as PDF as a work-around, but that still doesn't answer the question.

PDF files created with Primo PDF or Progeny PDF printer

I am working on a computer with Windows Vista on it and I now have a problem when I create a PDF using the Primo PDF printer, or the Progeny PDF printer -- if Adobe is already open with a file, the new file appears with fuzzy colors. When I close Adobe, the files seem normal. Any idea why this happens? Has anybody had the same problem?

Not a known problem. And the "already launched" problem points to an issue with Reader.
Please submit some samples with a bug report for Reader to debug.
Here is what the issue looks like (click to zoom) :
On the left side is the PDF file opened with no other instances of Adobe Reader open. On the right side is what the exact same file looks like when opened after another instance of Reader (displaying another PDF file) was already open.
It's as if the font rendering engine was incapable of multi-threading. Like Reader can only render the font properly if the PDF file in question is the only one it's got in RAM.
Worth noting :
Opening a 2nd PDF file with distorted fonts does not affect the first open PDF. That one continues to display normally. Only every subsequent instance of Reader will have this issue.
Files were saved normally via Photoshop CS5, although this issue has been present for at least 2-3 versions if not more (only started saving PDF's around that time - it's quite possible this was ALWAYS an issue).
This is strictly a SCREEN RENDERING ISSUE. The PDF file prints to paper just fine with uncorrupted fonts no matter how it looks on-screen.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, this happens across multiple computers. Whether I create the PDF via Photoshop CS3 in WinXP or via Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 on a completely different computer... it will have the same issues. Tried it at work, too -- miles away from home. Same issues. Graphic cards are also from different makes, and display the same issue.
This happens to every single font in the document, regardless of how common or obscure a font it is. In this case, it's Helvetica Neue.
Again, because this important : even if the fonts look distorted on-screen, they will print out on paper just fine. This is a screen rendering issue.
Default PDF settings, no layers, vector data non-rasterized.
Hope this helps.

Error in SmartForm to PDF while Saving with Preview option.

Hi,
I have created a report to convert Smartform to PDF.
I want the user to Preview data, if user is interested, then they can save the file.
When user clicks the Back button in SmartForm Print Preview, user can select the path of PDF file to save the data.
My code works fine, if Preview is disabled.
In the sub-routine createpdffile, I am getting error while creating PDF file.
The program works fine, if I disable the preview option i.e. if I uncomment
cparam-getotf = 'X'.
How can I have the both options in my report?
1)     Preview SmartForm.
2)     Save the SmartForm as PDF.

Vikas

Hello, Anu;
Business Objects will create one PDF from one report. Once the report object has been formatted as a PDF it is no longer handled by Business Objects but uses the functionality of Adobe.
If they were being saved as .pdf files, would there be a way to open more than one at a time?

How to see Greek characters inside a PDF report (made with XML Publisher)

Hi,
I just patched my e Business Suite (ver. 11.5.9) in order to use XML Publisher 5.6.3.
It works fine, but I have a big problem when I want to see Greek characters inside my report; instead to see the Greek characters I see only '?????'
I tried to add some font under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility following the Doc ID: 373377.1 "How To Install a Font Using XML Publisher Administrator", but my problem remains: I don't see my Greek characters
Do I need to add any other fonts on the file system ? and where ? (under which path), or I set something at the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility level (under the Administration link) ?
Any help will be appreciated, because it's very urgent to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
Alex

Alex,
Please verify the value of $AF_CLASSPATH variable and make sure that JRE_TOP/lib/fonts is part of this env variable (in addition to $CLASSPATH).

How can I programatically control the names of files output from Labview into .pdf format (ie with Adobe PDF Writer or Distiller)?

I would like to save some data forms for a standard test controlled with labview in a pdf format. Due to the large number of forms and test reports, I would like to have Labview automatically assign the .pdf file name based on test number already contained in the labview code. How can I do this.
Note: This question is very similar to:
"Labview and Adobe Acrobat output" posted by John Balone on 1/26/2000. The reponses offered good suggestions but it is not clear to me how to implement them.

This information is essential if you plan to use the Acrobat Distiller printer driver and any of the examples listed here:

Fillable PDF to saved non-editable PDF

I currently have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Livecycle Designer ES 8.2. I am looking to create a fillable form PDF and then send it to clients who will use adobe reader to fill the form and then save it as non-editable PDF form for general usage.
How can this be done?
Thanks, Vijay

Hi Michael,
Thanks much for the response, can you help me with instructions on how I can enable extended rights? Sorry, I am not too familiar with the things in Acrobat or Livecycle.
Thanks,

How come some of y word docs have been saved with a .docx extension?

I'm also using the avery template associated with the cards I have. I would like to copy and paste the template and format I used when creating different business cards when I used a word template. How do I go about doing this if my the previous business card file was saved as a .docx file?

Firefox will open a 1Mb PDF file. With 30Mb PDF file Firefox gives error "File not found". Both PDFs from Adobe web site. Using PC with XP-sp3. Firefox 3.6.13

Option in "Tools/Options/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Document" is set to "use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox". If I change the option to "Use Adobe Reader 9.2 (default)" then the large file gets downloaded and then opens in Reader.
Any help appreciated.

I originally posted this nearly 2 months ago. Is no-one else having this problem...???
I upgraded to Firefox V3.6.16; problem still happening.
Anyone got any ideas please...???

Get Windows message "Terminate 5-1" after printing pdf reports with Orarrp

Hi,
I get error message "Terminate 5-1" on clients machine after pdf report is printed with Orarrp.
The clients is Windows XP with acrobat reader 5.
I test on acrobat reader 6 and get the same result.
This occur for all pdf reports and all clients.
However this message just shows when perform printing, if I cancel printing from print dialog box then this message does not show.
How can I avoid this message?
Thanks in advance

===================
Hi,
I have same error message(Message Title: TerminateProcess Value; Message Body: 5-1) showing up when using Orarrp to print directly to printer on WEB using Oracle Forms. On my pc it shows when I have adobe acrobat reader opened up already and on others it may shows even if adobe acrobat is not already opened. However document gets printed but this is very annoying for the user to see this message.
Client Environments:
1. Windows XP, HP LaserJet 5P and HP LaserJet 4100 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 6.0
2. Windows 2000 Professional, HP LaserJet 4000 Series PCL, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and 6.0
Thanks
Kulwinder Sidhu

Hi Kulwinder,
We are getting this problem whenever we go through the following steps:
- Generate a PDF report without an ORARRP file extension on a dedicated reports server. Preview the report by opening in Adobe Reader using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
- Generate a PDF report with a ORARRP file extension of rrpa on a dedicated reports server. Directly print the report without a print dialog box using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to invoke ORARRP.
After printing the Terminate Process 5-1 message appears and Adobe is left running. If the first step is missed out then printing occurs without error and Adobe closes automatically.
Please could you give more information on how you solved the problem. I am using Windows XP and Adobe 7.
Thanks,
Pete

Forms calling Reports output issue RTF/PDF - strange issue

Dear All,
I'm looking for a bit of help with a strange situation calling reports from Forms.
This problem I'm getting in both 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 of Forms/Reports. Client is WinXP/7 (issue appears on both), Weblogic server is Linux (SLES11 and Red Hat - issue on both)
So the issue is
1. calling a report with output as RTF (this works fine and we use OLE2 to open the report in Word)
2. Wihile in that form call the same report though change the output to be created as PDF in the cache and the report then opens in IE (this too works fine)
3. Now if we try and do number 1 again (still in the same form) and run the same report again and choose to generate as RTF and open in word, it erroneously generates the report in PDF format but with an .RTF extension on the file.
Of course most of the time people would not want to do this, but the client has identified this issue and classified it as a bug, so we need to fix it (and it doesn't happen in the Forms6i version it is migrated from).
I have tried to ensure that the parameter list is correctly deleted and re-created, which appears to be the case. I also tried to generate a new unique parameter list for every run, which made no difference to the problem.
If I choose to run a completely different report, the problem has reset itself. So the problem exists only when I've chosen the PDF output and then run the same report thereafter as RTF output to a file.
Code to prepare for the RTF option is:
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
l_report_desname := l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf';
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'mode',TEXT_PARAMETER,'BITMAP');
l_report := p_report;
Code used to prepare for PDF option is:
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'CACHE');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,'');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desformat',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
l_report := p_report;
Any ideas gratefully received.
cheers
Tony

So I delete the paramlist correctly, then the code is:
IF (p_display_method = 'W')
THEN
--WORD Format
     --delete file on client
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     --delete file on app server
     host('rm '||l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     l_report_desname := l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf';
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'MODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'BITMAP');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'printjob',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
     l_report := p_report;
ELSIF (p_display_method = 'E')
THEN
--EXCEL format
     --delete file on client
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.xls');
     --delete file on app server
     host('rm '||l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Delete_File(l_temp_env||'\'|| p_report || '.cvs');
     Delete_File(l_temp_env||'\'|| p_report || '.xls');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desformat',TEXT_PARAMETER,'csv.prt');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'csv.prt');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'MODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'character');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'printjob',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
     l_report := p_report || '_d';
ELSIF (p_display_method = 'P')
THEN
-- PDF Format
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'CACHE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.pdf');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
     l_report := p_report;
END IF;
So all of the above works fine when generating a report the first time you enter a form, but if you run a PDF output report then immediately in the same form generate the report again to a non-PDF format, it comes out in incorrectly in PDF format.

Web pages are not automatically published. First they are saved as drafts with a .new extension.

Hi,
I am curently using adobe CS3. I am facing this strange
problem where my web pages are being saved with a .new extension
when I am tryign to publish. Everytime I need to go and change the
extension from .cfm.new to .cfm inorder to see the changes made to
the web page. I have even enabled the option so that contribute
does not send the page for reviewing before publsihing. Even after
enabling it I am facine the same problem. And this problem is being
faced by everyone who has publishing rights including the admin.
Can anyone please suggest a way to get rid of the .new extension
after publishing.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

We, too, are having this problem. I see two posts in 2008-07 reporting this, but no answers and nothing via Google.
Details:
1. The web server is a Red Hat Linux / Apache.
2. It seems site-wide: several department webmasters have reported the problem. It may be limited to webs that are using Contribute and check-in/check-out.
3. The only thing I can think might be causing it is that our NTP daemon is broken, and the time of day drifted ~6 minutes (I have since reset the clock by hand).
