Problem generating PDF bookmarks

Every time I generate a PDF for the same document, I have to reset the PDF bookmarks. With FM7, once I set the bookmarks (which paragraph tags to include and what level to put them at) it stuck and the next time I went to generate a PDF, the setting were still there from the last time.
NOW, with the "improved" (????) FM9, every time I make a PDF, the bookmark settings are messed up and I have to go and reset them. There is little/no consistency. Sometimes it just removes some of the ones I added the last time. Sometimes it goes back to what it when I started the project. What NEVER seems to happen is what it should do -- simply keep the settings from the last time I made a PDF of this document! Is that too much to ask?
(yes I have all 4 patches installed)

I think Frame takes the bookmark settings from the first file in the book. So, I typically open the first file and print it to PDF with the bookmark settings I want.
THen I open the book and print the book. The bookmark settings are usually correct. And save the book after the printing is finished.
Caveat: In my workflow, I do not print the entire book but selected files in the book. When I close the PDF settings dialog, I can see that Frame is saving something (the settings?) to all the selected files. The next time it seems to remember everything OK. Because you are printing the book without selecting files, Frame MAY not save the settings in the first file. But I am not sure about this. I do know that making a PDF of the first file seems to be the best way to save the settings, at least in my workflow.

How can I generate PDF bookmarks for change bars?

I want to generate PDF bookmarks for text that is marked by change bars when I save as PDF from structured Framemaker 7.1. That way the proofreader can go directly to the pages that contain change bars and proof only that text.

Adding to Arnis' reply:
It is also possible to generate PDF bookmarks for change bars through FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Presentation Assistant, as follows:
Change bar has to use a unique color, with a known RGB value
A PDF layer is created automatically based on the specified RGB value, containing all change bars (layer can be set as initially hidden and/or as a non-printing one)
A generic bookmark can be created automatically for each change bar. Since this is not related to the specific text being indicated, the bookmark text has a user-controlled label, optionally autonumbered (eg "Change Bar #1", "Change Bar #2", etc).
After setting the different parameters above, the process is entirely automatic (results are present as soon as the file is Save as PDF or distilled into a PDF).
If this approach is of interest, I can set up sample FM + PDF files.
A different approach -- based on custom markers inserted, with unique text and note attributes -- resulting in Quick-Access Bookmarks, is discussed/demonstrated at http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF06.html .

Problem Generating PDF Using Adobe PDF as Driver

I am using FM 10, experiencing problems in creating a pdf of a book. I use Adobe PDF as my print driver. The error said that a font,
HelveticaNeueCond, was not available, and could not be embedded. I had never heard of this font as being in my book, but I downloaded it and installed it on my C drive in my WINDOWS/Fonts folder. Still got the same error!
Also a pdf was made up to a certain page and then it failed. When I tried pdf ing that failed page, it worked. Then I tried to pdf the pages in between and it failed in a different spot.
This failure makes no sense.
I need help!

There are hundreds of message similar to this one in the archives, so I'd suggest you start reading those, but in general:
No one can do effective long-distance trouble shooting of your system without all the system details: FM and Acrobat versions, down to the patch levels (do Help > About), your OS, and amount of RAM and free disk space are important also.
If you are running Windows XP, get the Microsoft Hot fix for all PostScript printers and install if before you do anything else.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909 (Gives details on the Hotfix)
http://support.microsoft.com/Hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=952909&kbln=en-us (Direct Download Link)
Reboot after installing it.
Then, or start with these if you're not on XP:
Set the Adobe Acroat printer as your system default printer.
Be sure you are printing to the Acrobat printer with the Print Command and not using SaveAs PDF
On the Frame Print dialog box, check Generate Acrobat Data and UNCHECK Print to File.

Problems generating PDF from FO DOM with SVG in code.

Colleagues,
I am using FOP 0.20.5rc to render an FO DOM I have in a javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult into a PDF output stream destined ultimately for an attachment to an email. The FO DOM contains SVG generated from a JPEG image.
If dump the FO DOM to a file and then generate the PDF using FOP from the command line I get the image in the document.
If I pass the FO DOM to a FOP Driver in code I get the document but no image!
I'm obviously missing some vital configuration option in code but for the life of me I can't see it.
Any help would be gratefully received,
Peter
PS. Some of the code:
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setLogger(new org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.NullLogger());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.setOutputStream(new java.io.FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\out.pdf"));
driver.render((Document)foDOM.getNode());

Output from run with a ConsoleLogger instead of a NullLogger:
[java] [INFO] building formatting object tree
[java] [WARNING] Screen logger not set - Using ConsoleLogger.

PDF bookmark in Indian language

Did you get any solution on this as i am also working on same subject task.

Bookmarks not created when generating pdf

Hello
I am using 'robohelp for html' and generate pdf files as user guide from existing word format user guide.
I import than and create bookmarks for the TOC of the word user guide.
Now I generate pdf. But the generated pdf file, do not show bookmarks, I also checked in View-Navigation Panels- > but no bookmark icon is there.
I want bookmarks when I create pdf for my documentaion,

Actually my concern is that the elements, I would like to add like bookmarks in the PDF files are in some files of the book, but not all.
I feel that the problem is there.
But why i see some of elements, and not all ?
You do not have to physically use the elements in each file of the book; however, all the files in the book should use the same set of elements. My guess is that FrameMaker does not search through all the files in the book when it generates the list of available elements. It probably creates these things from the first file in the book.
Do all the files in the book use the same set of elements? If not, make sure the first file in the book uses the set that includes all the elements you want to be in the bookmarks.
In my opinion, all the files in the book should use the same set of elements. So, I suggest opening a copy of your template, select all the files in the book, and import the element definitions from the template to the files.

Hi,
I have tried this code but stil the same.
However i tried setup another tomcat and application in the other machine and the only job for the application is exporting the report that has problem, then the error is gone.
So i guess that is the memory size problem.
Thanks for this
One more question about the memory size between Tomcat and Crystal report.
I have set in catalina.bat as
set JAVA_OPTS = "-Xms2048M -Xmx1024M"
and CRConfig as
<JVMMaxHeap>1024000000</JVMMaxHeap>
<JVMMinHeap>512000000</JVMMinHeap>
1. Is that the correct setting.?
2. The memory in the JAVA_OPT and is the MAX and MIN memory that java would use,
    then is the Max memory in CRConf is 1024M out of the java heap size or the application use another 1024 memory

How to generate PDF with bookmarks?

Hi,
The business request is to have pdf report with bookmarks. There is no predefined bookmark object in Livecycle Designer/SFP so my idea is to add some scripting to the form to generate bookmarks dynamically. I defined a standard pdf form with several lines of JavaScript embedded. The script is running in the form preview in Livecycle Later I was testing the form by calling its function module and looking at the generated PDF file. Unfortunately it seems there is no script embedded in the final output PDF generated by ADS.
Is Javascript supported in pdf forms? Do I need to perform any additional operations to enable the Javascipt? Do I need to pass additional parameters to ADS? I tested the following settings:
       fp_docparams-fillable = 'X'.
       fp_docparams-DYNAMIC = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFTAGGED = 'X'.
       fp_outputparams-PDFCHANGESRESTRICTED = ' '.
I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi Lata,
May be there is some error in the JavaScript code written.
Sometimes if there is an error in JavaScript then from where the error occurs from there the JavaScript wont work in the Adobe Form.
To check whether JavaScript contains errors or not. You just simply open your Adobe Acrobat Reader goto Edit in that goto Preferences and in that Select "JavaScript" in that you find the JavaScript Debugger there you enable "Show Console on errors and messages".
This may help you in some way or the other.

Problem with printing generated pdf.

Hello!
I need to print pdf file, that was generated by my application. I am using Apache FOP to generate pdf (xml+xslt). For printing I am using Maxatec MT-150 receipt printer. Seems, that pdf is generated successfully, because I can open it and I also can print it using Windows interface. However, when I am sending it to printer in my JAVA application, printed file is just set of unreadable characters and black lines. I was trying to use different DocFlavors, like DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, DocFlavor.URL.AUTOSENSE, but neither had a luck. My code looks like this:
PrintService receiptPrintService = getReceiptPrinterService(printerName);
DocPrintJob printJob = receiptPrintService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("StatusReport.pdf"));
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, null);
printJob.print(doc, null);
private static PrintService getReceiptPrinterService(String printerName) {
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (PrintService printService : services) {
               if (printerName.equals(printService.getName())) {
                    return printService;
          return null;
     }For some reason I cannot set DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, as it throws following exception: sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor. (despite the fact that I can pdf using the same printer, but through Windows interface)
So, I really don't see what is the problem. Should I use something in my xslt template to specify content type? currently I have:
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>Any help would be appreciated.
Alexander.

@Dick_Adams
I am sorry, but what error message are you talking about? The only error I get is "sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor" and as far as I understand it depends on printer, what is supported and what is not supported. Or am I wrong? I am using standard java.awt.print library.
@AndrewThompson64, thanks for the tip!)) It does print correctly, but in this case I am not sure I have enough possibilities to control printing. For instance, my pdf was printed as landscape, but I need portrait.

Hi,
If you are using IIS5 the give aspnet full permission to the Temp folders. For IIS6 give IIS_wpg permission.
For this you need to right click on the folder,
go to properties,
security tab,
click on Add,
Type aspnet/iis_wpg,
select top note in Location and click on check on check names.
Give full control and
click ok.
Also try using GC.Collect(), reportDocObject.Close() and reportDocObject.Dispose() as clean up code.

AG.

Problem with creating bookmarks (word- pdf)

Index entries between section number and heading in my word document prevent the creation of the section number in the PDF bookmarks.
I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (9.4.5) and Microsoft Word 2007.
Does anyone know the problem, and more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

What version of WORD and Acrobat? I just ran PDF Maker with WORD 2007 and AA8 and turned off the headings 3 that were in the document and they did not show up in the bookmarks.

Problems converting PDF to MS Word document. I successfully converted 4 files and now subsequent files generate a "conversion failure" error when attempting to convert the file. I have a large manuscript and I separated each chapter to assist with the conversion; like I said, first 4 parts no problem, then conversion failure. I attempted to convert the entire document and same result. I specifically purchased the export to Word feature. Please assist. I initially had to export the Word Perfect document into PDF and attempting to go from PDF to MS Word.

Hi sdr2014,
I'm sorry to hear your conversion process has stalled. It sounds as though the problem isn't specific to one file, as you've been unable to convert anything since the first four chapters converted successfully.
So, let's try this:
If you're converting via the ExportPDF website, please log out, clear the browser cache, and then log back in. If you're using Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates to make sure that you have the most current version installed.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Problem while generating PDF using iText

Hi:
I have generated PDF using iText, where i have written all code in sequential flow.
<code>
com.lowagie.text.Document document = new com.lowagie.text.Document(PageSize.A4, 55, 5, 20, 20);
OutputStream outputstream = response.getOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance(document,outputstream);
</code>
And i have added all fields in the document.
But my problem is how to display total pagecount on all pages e.g.1\20 (because i have generated PDF sequentially)
Also i want to add watermark on all pages.
So, can any body help me to solve this problem?
Thank You,
Balaji

Is it possible to automatically generate a bookmark when batch scanning to pdf?, Is it possible to automatically generate a bookmark when batch scanning to pdf?

Hi,
I'm scanning hardcopy documents in to electronic PDF format at work for archiving.
I'm allowed to scan several hardcopy documents into one electronic PDF file, to save time (these files are no longer required but for legal reason we should keep backed up, so I don't have to be perfect).
I thought perhaps there was a way to automatically generate a bookmark at certain points in the PDF?
For example;
- I have three documents to be scanned into one PDF file.
- I use the 'document feeder' on my scanner to scan mutiple pages at a time (batch scanning)
- Each scanned 'batch' is then appended to a PDF file, creating a single PDF document from multiple scanned batches.
Is there a way to automatically generate a bookmark at the beginning of a batch scan?
So that I could have three bookmarks in the PDF file for easy navigation to the beginning of each document?
Keep in mind, sometimes I might need to do six batch scans to create the single PDF file (as the three documents need to be split in half because they are quite large). So I'd only need to select 'create a bookmark' on every second batch scan.
However, creating a bookmark at every batch scan is better than nothing at all so if that's the only way to do it, then its still very helpful.
Note:
I don't require the bookmarks to be labeled (default labeling is fine).
I don't want to manually create bookmarks in preview, acrobat. I want the bookmark to be generated automatically before/after I press 'scan'.
I may be using the incorrect term ('bookmark'), perhaps its document 'sections' but hopefully my situation is still understandable.
Any ideas/ help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Sachi

You could try to use a motion sensor - in a do-it-yourself store you can buy motion sensors that turn on the lights when a burglar approaches the property. Connect this sensor to the remote control of your camera instead of to a light.
Probably you can buy ready-made motion sensitive remote controls, the photographers here will know. You would need this kind of remote control for wildlife photography.
