Printing PDF with FOP is very strange

Hello,
i have a very strange problem.
My old environment
Oracle 10.2 DB
Apex 4.0.2
Apache
FOP inside a OC4J Container
My printing Report contains 9 Queries and each query is using some bind variables.
We also use our own report layout
That works since 2 years now.
Now we migrated to a new server
The new eniroment
Oracle 11.2.0.3
Apex 4.0.2
EPG
FOP inside a OC4J Container
Same reports as in the old environment.
Now the pdf is producing empty content, but the pdf is a valid pdf file.
After a lot of testing with epg, apache, apex 4.2 and the old environment we have no clue whats wrong here.
how can i get the xml which is send to to fop engine?
I need to see what is in that xml
I tried the "test report" button and so on, but working with bind variables in the queries is not showing the correct content.

First of all, bonus points for that subject - made me laugh
I tried the "test report" button and so on, but working with bind variables in the queries is not showing the correct content.Not sure what you mean by this.
Edit report query -> Edit SQL for one of the queries (the little pencil)
Set bind variables -> (enter as appropriate) -> Test query
Produces XML download.
Do you generate any large content, greater than 32k?

  • HP Laserjet 4250 - While Printing PDFs with Watermark, Prints images as scrambled

    Hi,
    I am using HP Laserjet 4250 printer. While Printing PDFs with Watermark, the printer prints images as scrambled. It prints the part of the image as scrambled which is overlapped by the Watermark. The other part of the image is printed fine. When seen on the screen, it shows up the image with the watermark properly. Could you please suggest how to arrive at a solution for this problem. Thanks in advance.

  • Strange font when printing pdf with Reader X

    Hello,
    Who can help? I recently upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 to Adobe Reader X. Since then, a strange problem occurs. When printing a pdf files to a printer, the font is changed. When viewing the file on the screen and printing them with version 9, everything is OK. The Arial font appears as it should. But when printing, a very ugly font type appears. The pdf files I use contain only a 'standard' Arial and Myriad Web font.This problem is very annoying.
    Can somebody help? I use version 10.0.1

    If you go the attached web page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/
    (http://www.adobe.com/support/reader/) ,  you
    will see "download an older version" underneath
    the Download Adobe reader.
    If you click in this link (download an older version), you
    can pick from version 8 and 9.
    Since erasing version 10 and downloading version 9.4,
    my problem has gone away completely.
    As with you, I consider this a major problem. It certainly added
    a lot of grief to my life when I could not trust my printer
    output at all.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

    Hi!
    I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
    I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
    I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
    If anyone can help!
    This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

    Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
    I just updated my software, thanks for that!
    Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
    Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
    Any other idea?
    Thanks!!
    Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

  • Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

    Dear co.forumers :
    We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
    In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
    Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
    So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
    How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
    Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
    Has anyone had the same problem ?
    Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

    A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

  • Print PDF with special print options of Canon IR printer

    Hi,
    We have a collection (db driven) of PDF documents that we want to send to our network printers. Some document need a hole punch of some other specific printeroptions of a Canon IR printer.
    The ideal solutions is a windows application where i could define virtual printers with their print options (pdf and printer specific).
    Eg:
    A user creates in a the windows app a virtual printer with name and print options
    - FastPunch: Printer IR5570 with hole punch
    - Fast: Printer IR5570
    - Color: IR C4080
    - ColorBooklet: IR C4080 with booklet options
    When the app starts its batch it will look at de db and find rows with an PDF and the name of a virtual printer. The documents are printed with specific printer preferences.
    Does someone has experience with such an solution? Tips?
    Someone wants to make this in vb.net (or c#)? What cost?
    gtx, Pierre

    I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK but I haven't really waded through the documentation or samples yet. I've only been working on this project for about 3 days now and not full time. This isn't the highest priority at work. I've worked a bit with the adobe reader control and that looks like it has some promise.
    I have two significant problems:
    1) I don't want the user to see any windows appear other than my console application. That way I have it working right now, Acrobat is required and appears minimized while the file is spooled and then is closed after spooling completes. Not so horrible but I'd like to get away from it if possible. To print the file right now I'm using the startprocess module or something (new version of shell I think). I'm starting the pdf with the verb "Printto" and that tells Acrobat to print to a printer that I specify.
    2)Biggest problem. I have no reliable way to change the number of copies or any other print settings. I am not willing to write a program that spools a single copy multiple times just to get multiple copies. Currently my program uses rundll to open a printer preferences dialog, and SendKeys to modify the print settings. This means that the computer cannot be used while automated printing is occurring.
    Right now the program's only saving grace is that it allows the user to be ignorant of the job settings so that all the user has to do is indicate an item number and quantity and walk away (hoping nothing changes the focus and derails SendKeys - but we know that kind of thing never happens in XP :P )

  • Fail to print pdf with flash(updated)

    Hi, all,
    I open a pdf with flash in adobe reader.
    I want to print it, but it doesn't get the result as what I see in adobe reader.
    It seems that the  flash has an animation, and the printer capture the image before the animation is finished.
    Did I post the discussion in the right forums?
    And if you need more information, tell me please.
    Thanks

    You asked in the correct forum, but it appears that no-one knows the answer.
    I know that there were some problems printing Flash content, but I do not know how Flash Player integrates into Adobe Reader - if it uses the installed plugin, or if it uses its own plugin.

  • Printing PDF with English & Chinese

    Hi experts,
    I have encountered a following problem: we would like to print texts with mixture of English and Chinese on a smartform converted to a PDF format. But the chinese is not printed properly. Could you please advise on how should the output device / output type be configured. What are the neccessary settings that have to be made?
    Thanks a lot for your hints.
    Tomas

    I got it to work. I have a process that sets an application level item(CUR_WO_NBR) to the current value of the text field holding the work order number(P150_WO_NBR). This process runs right before the branch to print the pdf. the pdf of course uses the application level item in its query (CUR_WO_NBR).

  • Why will Acrobat X not print pdf with watermark correctly?

    Users with Acrobat X Standard have trouble printing PDF documents with watermarks that overlay the document text and block out some of the document text. The users with Acrobat XI Standard so far do not have this issue. How can this be resolved for the users with Acrobat X Standard? Is there a setting that makes the watermark print behind the document text?

    Hi,
    Something (maybe) that might help.
    With Acrobat 8 or 9 -
    In the "Add Watermark" dialog; look for "Appearance Options" (lower third of the dialog window).
    Click on it.
    In the "Appearance Options" dialog, be sure "Show when printing" is selected.
    Test the PDF one a different computer using Adobe Reader.
    Be well...

  • Printing pdf with Adobe 10 and Mac OSX

    After downloading Adobe Reader 10.0.0 I cannot print pdf files on my Canon MP620 printer. Snow Leopard Mac OSX 10.6.6 is my operating system Error message comes up "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err. number 13". Can anyone help please?

    After dealing with this problem for a whole day, this finally solved the problem.  Not sure if it will work for everyone or if I just got lucky.  Either way...
    I threw out all Acrobat preferences (8 and 9).  I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9.  Opened Acrobat Pro 8 and printed the files.  I then re-installed Pro 9 and with both 8 and 9 open, I was able to print. Now Pro 9 works fine (without having 8 open) Not sure why this worked, since re-installing Acrobat Pro 9 alone didn't fix the problem.
    Hopefully this might work for someone else too.

  • Cannot print PDF with Adobe Reader 9.4.6 ?

    I cannot print PDF files using Adobe Reader 9.4.6.  OS is VISTA.   Everytime I try to print a PDF file, I receive the following message - " Before you can perform print or related tasks such as page settings or printing you need to install a printer"  I have a printer installed and can print word, excel files, etc.  Cannot print any PDF files.  Help!

    Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

  • How to print pdf with overflown textboxes

    Goodevening,
    I have problems in printing a pdf file, which was not created by me and which I had to fill in. The problem is that the file contains some overflown texts, which appear only when you use the scrolling bar (and not appear line after line, as it normally happens, at least in my case!). The result is that when I print it the page shows only the first line of the text box, with the " + " indicating the presence of a missing text, but nothing else. Since this document has to be printed, it is secured by a key and a great deal of information have to be included, I have no idea how to solve the problem. Any suggestions? I use WIndows XP and Adobe Reader XI.
    Thank you very much!

    But if the file is locked against editing, there is no solution. A badly designed form is just as badly designed in PDF as one you have to type on which does not have enough room for your typescript... Overflow is only used in digital workflows (where form data is submitted, not via a printed form).
