Problem linking to PDF file from generated help

I am using RoboHelp HTML, Version 7.02 to create WebHelp, and
I cannot open a PDF file that I linked to some text in a topic. (I
created a PDF file that contains all of the help system's topics so
users can print them all.)
I can open the PDF file just fine when I preview the topic,
but I cannot open the PDF file from the generated help system. (I
set up the link to open in a new window.) When I click the link for
the PDF file, nothing happens, not even an error message. If I
right-click the link and select Properties from the menu, the
Properties dialog box shows the following path to the file:
file:///C:/Users/Myname/Documents/My%20RoboHelp%20Projects/project%20folder%20
name/!SSL!/WebHelp/print_all_help_topics.pdf
To create the link, I first copied the PDF file into my
project folder, Then I right-clicked the Baggage Files folder and
selected New>Baggage File, and clicked Open to add the file to
my Baggage Files folder. Then I dragged the file name from the
Baggage Files folder onto the selected text in my topic, saved all
and generated the WebHelp.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Rick.
Yes, mark of the web is selected. I just turned that option
off and re-generated and the PDF opens just fine, but of course,
I'm getting the Internet Explorer message that my browser is trying
to restrict the webpage from running ActiveX controls ... I was
using mark of the web so that my customer's users won't get this
message, although I don't know what ActiveX controls my help system
would be running. I'm just hoping that my customer doesn't balk at
this message appearing. Is turning off mark of the web is my only
choice for getting the link to work?
Thanks for your help and your welcome message. In case you
can't tell, I'm a newbie to RoboHelp. BTW, your website was
invaluable in helping me to create the link to begin with. Thank
you!

Problem when loading pdf files from Shared Content

When I load pdf files from Shared Content, I got the following problem: "The selected document could not be retrieved, please try uploading the document again."
Anyone knows this?
Thank you very much in advanced.

I don't migrated the program, but installed it from the original installer,
i. e. I first installed Indesign from backup, and then uninstalled it and
reinstall clean from Adobe.
What a plug-in or utility converts page from InDesign to PDF?

Urgent ! problem in accessing pdf file from client

Problem : Unable to access the temp(.pdf) file from the client.
Scenario: I,m working on pdf reports.Pdf file is created each time the user submits the form.
The file can be accessed from the server itself.But can't be accessed from the client.
Description :
Path i,m specifying for run time creation of the .pdf file is :
C:\PStudio\RepMenu|RepMenuWeb\tempp_files\
The C:\ drive is of the server machine.
After creating the temp file say,
C:\PStudio\RepMenu|RepMenuWeb\tempp_files\temp_rpt_53881.pdf
I assign this path to the variable as :
dir_Path=C:\PStudio\RepMenu|RepMenuWeb\tempp_files\temp_rpt_53881.pdf
and also create the hidden variable as :
out.println("<input type='hidden' name='hfile' value="+dir_Path+">");
Now onClick of image I invoke js function as :
function clickOn()
     var path="";
     path=document.form1.hfile.value;
     document.form1.action = path;
     document.form1.submit();
Help me to figure out where I,m making the mistake.
For any futher query Kindly mail me at [email protected]

I had similar issue. Despite of having "Define workstation application in network" for PDF setup for Application Type 3 "print" with Application %AUTO% I was only getting the .pdf file displayed in Adobe Reader instead of getting it printed.
Solution:
set Application to "AcroRd32.exe /t" to get the files opened in the Adobe Reader, printed and closed. The only thing I wasn't able to do was to get the Adobe Reader application closed after the print.

Problem with opening PDF files from JSF page using SDO

Hi all,
I'm new with JSF and was attempting to read a PDF file from a Database using SDO and JSF. The code below throws an exception when casting from DataObject to Blob. The getLcDoc() method was created by WSAD when I dragged an SDO relational record onto the JSF page. This method returns an DataObject type which I tried casting to a Blob type before using it further. However, an exception is thrown.
Any feedback is appreciated.

try {
               FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               Blob file= (Blob)getLcDoc().get("ATTACH");
               int iLength = (int)(file.length());
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               response.setContentLength(iLength);
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();

               if (i<0) break;
               os.write(buff,0,i);

          System.out.println("Error while reading file : " + ex.getMessage());
     }

Hi...I found out that there is actually no need to use a Blob object at all. You can simply call the OutputStreams write() method and pass the DataObject.getBytes() method that returns a byte[] array. The revised code is shown at the end of this posting.
However, a few other teething problems exist:
1. This works well only if I specify the content type in response.setHeader() method. What if my users upload different types of files, is there a way that the browser opens according to the file type without setting the content type?
2. I still have a problem opening PDF files, even if I specify - response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/pdf");
I get the message - The file is damaged and could not be repaired
3. I would also like this to open the attachment in a new window and using target="_blank" doesn't seem to work as seen below:
<h:commandLink
                                             styleClass="commandLink" id="link1" action="#{pc_DocumentDetailsRead.doLink1Action}" target="_blank">
                                             <h:outputText id="text5" styleClass="outputText"
                                                  value="Click Here"></h:outputText>
                                        </h:commandLink>
------------------------Revised code-----------------------------------------
FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               HttpServletResponse response =(HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
               response.setHeader("Content-type", "application/msword");
               response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Attachment");
               response.setHeader("Expires","0");
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
               response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
               ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
               os.write(getLcDoc().getBytes("ATTACH"));
               os.flush();
               os.close();

RH11 404 - Page Not Found when linking to PDF file from search results using IE9 and IE10

I'm using RH11 (11.0.3.268) and I've included a number of PDF files as baggage files. The hyperlinks on the pages work fine and display the PDF files in a separate window, as expected. However, when searching for these same PDF files using the Search tab, I'm getting a 404 error with the filename. The description on the error shows the filename and says the "the requested resource is not available." This is occurring using IE9 and IE10. And, it only happens within the application, which packages the WebHelp with a war file.
I searched the forum and found where someone was having the same problem on Firefox, but was fine on IE. But, as mentioned, I'm finding it on IE.
Thoughts on how to fix this error?

Is the WAR file extracted at the point when the search is done? If not, I would expect it to fail.

Problems opening a pdf file from a URL protected by OAM with M.Explorer

Hello,
we have protected a web portal with OAM. When we access a URL which is a pdf file with Mozilla Firefox, the file is retrieved and opened correctly, but when we try to open it using Microsoft Explorer it won't open. If we disable OAM the pdf is opened without problems. We set Microsoft Explorer security level to the lowest possible value but the problem persists.
Can anyone give us a hand to solve this issue?
Thank you

Hi Francisco,
In the AccessGate screen for the WebGate, if you have the CachePragmaHeader and CacheControlHeader set to "no-cache", try setting them to "public" (or blank), restart the web server, and see if that resolves the issue.

Colin

Problem creating a PDF file from other PDF files

Normally, the process works, but sometimes produces the following error (in Spanish):
El documento no se pudo archivar. Problema al leer el documento (110)
Does anyone know the origin of the error? We have reviewed the security of files and is correct
Thanks

I am not sure, but it may be a font mismatch between the files. Fonts is one of the issues that often crops up as a problem when combining PDFs.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!
Martin

Generating PDF-files from HTML-page saved as Unicode?

I have followed this Quick Start on how to generate a PDF-file from HTML using web services in .NET: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000093.html
It works just fine when the html-page is saved as ANSI, but when it's saved as UNICODE I get problem. The code runs without errors but the PFD looks really strange. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I really need to use UNICODE as my application needs to handle different languages (including for example Chinese).

I found out that UTF-8 worked as well so the problem is solved. :-)

The pdf is loading as html code. If you save it, it will download as :

Change the extension to .pdf
And it opens and works perfectly, I just tested it:

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.
regards,
christian
