Preview: PDFs generated with Oracle RS are missing letters

Hi,
When I open PDFs in Preview which were created using "Oracle10gR2 AS Reports Services", some letters are missing. The documents aren't corrupted and appear valid on other platforms or in other applications. Is there any solution/fix for Preview? As I'm quite happy with Preview I don't want to install the Adobe reader and I can't change the document generator, as my University's support says "it works on Win/Adobe, hence use them instead..."
TIA, JC

Same exact issue. Very annoying. My workaround is to Cntrl-click on the pdf report and choose Open With... and use Adobe Reader. But I like using Preview because it's so easy to highlight or circle items, and add other annotations. I don't want to have Adobe Reader be my default reader.
I wish someone would trouble-shoot this and offer up a real fix. I may contact our IT folks--but there aren't that many Macs where I work, so it won't be a high priority for them.

Does Adobe have a converter for texts with European-language accents, or shall I cancel my subscription?

Problems installing PDF Generator with Workflow

Hello,
I was trying to combine PDF Generator with LiveCycle Workflow 7.2. I followed the instructions in the document 'Integrating Adobe LiveCycle Products'. Now I'm getting a Java error message when I try to access the Administrator login:

Has anyone also experience these kind of problem? Or has anyone an idea where this 'validateUserSession' function is located, which *.jar, *.war or *.ear?
BTW: I checked that Workflow in running properly before I installed PDFG.
Regards, Karin

Hello,
I think I found something: the webapp.jar in adminui.war in LiveCycle.ear contains the FeatureBean class and is different once I have PDF Generator included. I tried to exchange this jar file. Now I have access again to the administrator webapp.
However, I get an error message when I try to convert images with Acrobat:
"The service to convert the document could not be looked up."
Can this have something to do with the exchange? It's a strange error message because Acrobat is installed together with PDF Generator.
Or could it be because I have also Adobe Reader 7.0.8 installed?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Regards, Karin

Reader X does not display drawing in PDF generated with LaTeX

I have a quite large PDF generated by pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 which contains also XY-pic drawings rendered with Xy-pic version 3.8.2, PDF driver v.1.4.
One drawing does not display correctly in Adobe Reader X. Neither on Windows, neither on Mac. It does display correctly with following programs:
Preview on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
Adobe Reader 9.x
Skim (skim-app.sf.net).
When I open this document with Adobe Reader X I get following error message when I hit page 58:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem".
Where does one report rendering problems?

Created PDF from MS Access - lines are missing from PDF

I'm using Acrobat 8 (from Adobe CS3) to create PDF files. When I "print" reports from Microsoft Access 2003, the thin line borders that outline cells are often missing from the PDF. Typically, 1 or 2 of the sides are missing, with the other sides appearing normally.
This appears to happen primarily when the line thickness is set to "hairline".
If I use a non-Adobe PDF writer (PDF Creator), then the lines appear normally.
Any suggestions about what I can do to correct this?
Thanks - Jim

These are the settings.

Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
Thank you for your time,
Jason

This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.

Access restriction for PDF generated with Smartform

Hi there,
I am generating a PDF from a Smartform using convert_otf.
What I would like to do is, add restrictions for the generated document just like in Acrobat Professional.
For example:
Printing: yes/no
saving: yes/no
cut, copy paste: yes/no
Is there a way to pass this Parameters to the PDF?
Thanks in advance

Printing Services do not accept PDFs generated with Pages

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.1 and I have been using Pages to generate documents which I then turn into PDFs before sending to a printing service for printing. However, several print services that I need to use to stay cost competitive cannot accept PDFs generated by Pages (I believe they said or Quark). The print service printers will not print PDFs created by pages. I've probably spent 2 weeks trying to work my way out of this one and I can't seem to find a solution other than to manually rework all my files into Word documents which could take months. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Thank you so much,
Wendy

I need to use to stay cost competitive cannot accept PDFs generated by Pages (I believe they said or Quark)
The print publishing industry has agreed on a specification for print-ready PDF. The specification is an ISO standard known as PDF/X for blind eXchange, meaning that if the person preparing the digital master applies the specification then the person printing the digital master can depend on the master to be printable.
QuarkXPress 7 includes PDF/X authentication internally and Apple Pages includes PDF/X authentication externally through the sysem-level Apple ColorSync filters. The print service provider should inform you of the printing condition she is selling you and should provide an ICC type PRTR printer profile for that printing condition.
The ICC printer profile determines the ink limit, the detail in the highlights and the detail in the shadows, the gray balance relative to the tint of the paper (whether bluish, yellowish, reddish, or near neutral) and matches the laydown order of the inks in the printing system. If the print service provider has no ICC printer profile for a custom printing condition, ISO 12647 reference data are available from www.color.org and the print service provider should be able to build a separation to suit her process from that. This ICC printer profile should be set as the OutputIntent in the PDF/X filter, whether in QuarkXPress, in Apple Pages, in Adobe InDesign, in Adobe Acrobat or in any other compatible application.
Best,
Henrik

Using LiveCycle PDF Generator with VSD viewer

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to use PDF generator to convert vsd files into pdf file with only installing a Microsoft VSD Viewer instead of the standard complete Microsoft Office Visio Install ?
Thanks,
Thomas

You can create a web service to convert html to pdf using the HTML to PDF converter library for .NET or the converter integratd in the Winnovative PDF Creator for .NET. You can download the development libraries from http://www.winnovative-software.com .

12.1.0.3 Agent Upgrade shows agent Not Upgradable with Oracle Home Property Missing

I have completed upgrading my Enterprise Manager OMS from 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.3 and am not in the process of upgrading the agents. Several agents show agent as not upgradable with error Oracle Home Property Missing and I am having problems trying to resolve that. In addition to the information in Chapter 5 of the upgrade guide I have found Metalink notes 1564380.1 & 1576084.1 and am trying to follow them.
Looking at the targets.xml on one machine I find -
<Target TYPE="oracle_home" NAME="cannon-columbo_cluster_home" IDENTIFIER="TARGET_GUID=615AE33355A4D531DBFC35831C2A2952">
<Target TYPE="oracle_home" NAME="mothpa.ucdavis.edu_mothpa1_oracle_database_home" IDENTIFIER="TARGET_GUID=DFE64CFD805C3C3F88E20EE0E74E556F">

and following the notes I use emctl and run runCollection -
./emctl control agent runCollection mothpa.ucdavis.edu_mothpa1_oracle_database_home:oracle_home oracle_home_config
But the console still shows Oracle Home Property Missing. emctl listtargets shows -

I have found some information pertaining to promoting targets but I don't understand that very well, essentially how to know if a target needs to be promoted. One note suggested running repvfy which I need to do. I will download it and run it to see if that helps but at the moment I am puzzled and seeking assistance. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.
Bill Wagman

I will do so, thank you.
