PL/PDF and object permissions

Hi,
We are currently examining PL/PDF to generate PDF reports from ApEx.
The PL/PDF objects are installed in a separate schema (plpdf), including the "query_printing" procedure.
Now we want to use the plpdf functionality from multiple other schema's by calling the "query_printing" procedure with a query as parameter.
So this means :
- granting EXECUTE permissions on plpdf and query_printing to all other users
- granting SELECT permissions to the plpdf user on all tables used in the query that is passed to the query_printing procedure
Is this the recommended way of working ? It seems a bit hard to maintain to me.
Thanks,
Matthias

Bhushan,
Did you ever solve this question?
I am thinking of using this feature but want to avoid pitfalls like this.
Thanks,
Stew

How to remove file path location listings from photos and objects in Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF?

After converting a windows-based Powerpoint 2007 presentation to an Acrobat Pro 9.0 PDF, the file path location of all photos and objects are shown in a dialogue box when the cursor is moved over the image as seen in this screenshot below. How can I stop this from happening and remove this feature on my pdf documents?

I saw that referenced on a forum, but it does not seem to address the issue I am having.
As per Adobe Acrobat X Standard * What’s new, the equivalent to the "Tools > Protection > Remove Hidden Information" utility found in Acrobat X Standard is the same as the "Document > Examine Document" feature in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Those tools seem to cover meta data, book marks, hidden text, and deleted or cropped content, but not the file path listings that appear on images and objects converted from Powerpoint presentations and other MS Office programs.
I have reviewed the settings used while creating a pdf, and have also tried the “Advanced > Preflight tool”, but could not find anything to apply to the issue at hand.
Thus, this issue has not been resolved, but seems like it should be an easy fix that anyone who publishes pdf documents would want to use to publish clean, professional documents without anyone seeing the file path location of every object and image shown in the document on their hard drive.

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

Type Messages and Objects turned from white to black in PDF

When I exported my Keynote presentation to a PDF the Type Messages and Objects turned from white to black. The display in ”Preview” is ok but in Acrobat PDF Viewer it looks black instead of white. Only happens on some slides. I could not find a reason why this happened. Seemed kind of random to me when it happened. But the error was reproducable unless I rebuild it with new silides.

Can you get the exact wording for that error? Is it can't mount iPod?
Also, make sure iTunes is up to date...

Finally, make sure your iPod's battery is charged up.

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Saving report as PDF and text file

Currently, I saved my report as PDF. It opens in Acrobat reader automatically when the report is executed. Is there a way for me to save it as PDF and as a text file at the same time? (without having to open the file in Acrobat reader and saving it)

You can add your PDF and TEXT file formats to a distribution list (Instead of GENERATE REPORT TO A FILE). To do this:
1. Go to your Object Navigator and highlight your report.
2. Right click on your report. Select Property Palette.
3. Select Distribution
4. You can add of of the formats that you want to print or save to the report to.
5. You will have to add Distribution Id (any number starting with 1) where you want the file to be saved (c:\my_reports\inventory.pdf), the type of file: PDF and how many copies you want: 2
6. Click OK after finishing...
To make it work ... You would highlight your report from your Object Navigator and then choose FILE-DISTRIBUTE and this will save it to all the files your specified and/or printer.

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

Exporting a crystal report as PDF and Attaching to an email via code - Filename Issuses?

Post Author: alynch
CA Forum: .NET
I need to export a crystal report as a pdf and send it out via email. I have created a subroutine that works but the attached filename come up as "untitled.txt" so the receiving machine believes it is a text file. If I rename it on the recipients machine to a ".pdf" I can open it with acrobat and it looks OK. Does anyone know how to rename the file as a pdf prior to sending it out?
Thank You.

I have included a copy of the subroutine:
Dim repdoc As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
Dim diskOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim ExpOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions
Dim MailOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.MicrosoftMailDestinationOptions()
repdoc = Me.CrystalReport11
repdoc.Load("C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\CrystalReport1.rpt")
ExpOpts = repdoc.ExportOptions
With ExpOpts
.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.MicrosoftMail
.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
End With
With MailOpts
.MailMessage = "Message"
.MailToList = "enter email adress here"
.MailSubject = "Attached is a PDF file - .net Export test "
End With
ExpOpts.DestinationOptions = MailOpts

repdoc.Export()
Catch err As Exception

System and Object privileges question

hello everyone.
I was really making it a priority to really understand both system and object privileges for users. I have setup a couple of 'sandboxes' at home and have done lots of testing. So far, it has gone very well in helping me understand all the security involved with Oralce (which, IMHO, is flat out awesome!).
Anyway, a couple of quick questions.
As a normal user, what view can I use to see what permissions I have in general? what about permissions on other schemas?
I know I can do a:
select * from session_privs
which lists my session privileges.
What other views (are they views/data dictionary?) that I can use to see what I have? Since this is a normal user, they don't have access to any of the DBA_ views.
I'll start here for now, but being able to see everything this user has, would be fantastic.
Cheers,
TCG

Sorry. should have elaborated more.
In SQLPLUS, (logged in while logged into my Linux OS), I am working to try and get sqlplus to display the results of my query so it is easy to read. Right now, it just displays using the first 1/4 or 1/3 of the monitor screen to the left. Make sense? So it does not stretch the results out to utilize the full screen. it is hard to break down and read the results because they are "stacked" on top of each other.
Would be nice if I could adjust sqlplus so the results are easier to read.
HTH.

Hi,
In this version ...just upload your PDF file. then use dashboard object and call it like below...
try it u r url like this:
URL path for PDF File
http://110.191.32.11:9704/analytics/saw.dll?downloadFile&path=%2FShared%2FDOC%2Fbinotes.pdf
Note:
If any sapce b/w the folder path use %20 in tha url
if / in the path use %2F in that URL 100% it will work
for more refer my earliear post and blog:

When saving a pdf the objects on the page appear offset of the page boundries.

This happens mostly in illustrator but it just happened again to me while printing a .ps booklet out of indesign and converting to a pdf using distiller.
See the image below:
The left shows my InDesign Document. On the right is the pdf that results from the save. As you can see the page boundaries are being completely disregarded when saving the pdf and everything is equally shifted down and to the right.
Here is an example of me having the same problem in illustrator:
As you can see there is sometimes zero correlation between what is on the artboard and what page the objects end up on in the pdf.
This problem also has another strange symptom, it seems to have to do with dragging images from firefox onto an artboard in illustrator. The image is place automatically in the center and all objects in the file move together in one direction. see before and after photos below:
Before:
After image dragged in:
You can even continue to drag images in and it will move in the same direction the same amount every time:
I'm running Adobe CS6 on OSX 10.9.1.
Thanks in advance!

In so many words: We can't know. You have not provided any details about your exact settings, what version of Acrobat, your placed images, color settings, color profiles and a million other things including perhaps providing your test fioles for inspection by other people. That aside simply ask in teh relevant ID/ AI/ Acro/ PDF forums. This place here is a dead place and only meant for general sales, install and activation questions, not specific workflow questions.

Do I begin by scanning my illustration in a pdf and then save it as a png on illustrator?

Do I begin by scanning my artwork as pdf and then saving it as a png on illustrator?

Depends on what you want to do with the file. Most scanning software can scan as tiff, png, jpg and sometimes pdf. In each of these cases the resulting file is usually a raster file. The exception is software that can convert text into edible text known as OCR, or have some time of auto trace feature for converting artwork into vector objects. This is where pdf would shine compared to the other formats. Tiff is the only remaining one that can also save live editable text.
As I said once the pdf is imported into illustrator, what format you choose to save from there will depend on what you plan on doing next with it. Ai, pdf, psd or tiff would make good candidates for master files. (A file you can re-edit at a later date with no worry of degradation) And then each of these formats have their pros and cons.

Depends on what you want to do with the file. Most scanning software can scan as tiff, png, jpg and sometimes pdf. In each of these cases the resulting file is usually a raster file. The exception is software that can convert text into edible text known as OCR, or have some time of auto trace feature for converting artwork into vector objects. This is where pdf would shine compared to the other formats. Tiff is the only remaining one that can also save live editable text.
As I said once the pdf is imported into illustrator, what format you choose to save from there will depend on what you plan on doing next with it. Ai, pdf, psd or tiff would make good candidates for master files. (A file you can re-edit at a later date with no worry of degradation) And then each of these formats have their pros and cons.
