Problems populating a PDF file

Good afternoon everyone,
In the latest Firefox update (July 21st) it seems that we have received many complaints about not being able to scan into our browser based system. We use the dynamic web twain as a plugin to allow this. We were previously able to do so until this latest update.
What happens is when scanning or uploading it does not generate the PDF file. Almost as if something is blocking this process from happening.
We have tried the following:
1) Allowing all plugins.
2) Under permissions we have allowed the plugins as well.
3) Reset the browsers
4) Start in safe mode.
5) Disable all plugins and re-enable
6) Clear browser history and cache numerous times.
7) Using Adobe Reader in Firefox (default) and using FIrefox PDF viewer.
This only happens on Firefox but not on Chrome. Our clients mostly prefer using Firefox.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Hi DannyPPC1,
Thanks for this question, I apologize for the late reply. If you are still getting reports of this issue, can you tell me how many reports of this issue you have? Or a guess at the number of clients experiencing this problem?

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Try repairing reader once and see if that fixes the issue.

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.

Problem printing Online PDF file

Have a strange problem printing online PDF files. The printer prints all other documents ok - Word, Pages, PDF files that are stored on disk etc. However when i try and print a PDF file online - i.e. online job application form, the printer goes into melt down. It will only print part of the first page then stops. The drive wheel pushes the paper back and forth a few times then stops. I can print each page one at a time but won't let me print all at once.
Any ideas? It does this regardless of which computer I use (both mac's). Makes no difference if the printer is connected direct via USB or Airport.
Any ideas?
Colin.

What kind of printer is it? Is the software up to date? Is it possible to provide the URL of the page you are trying to print?

Problem reading attached PDF files



Hello.
At my work, we use JavaMail (version 1.4.1) in server
programs, processing mails with attached files from customers. Mostly it is
TIFF images, but it can also be PDF
files, and the attached files are extracted and saved for further processing.
Sometimes, we have a problem, reading attached PDF
files. The files get saved, but is of size 0 bytes. If I forward it, however,
using an Outlook client, the forwarded item can be read by our JavaMail program, and files saved OK.
I have tried to forward it using JavaMail, but I cannot
compose the mail parts, that fails, however - of the same reasons: I cannot
read the them in:-)
It looks like it's when the mail is send from a Mac.
Anyway, the part to read is of content type "APPLICATION/APPLEFILE" whereas when it's forwarded, it's content
type is "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM"
The way, I read the part, is to check if the part is an
instance of an InputStream, and then saving into a byte array, like this:
h5. Object
obj = part.getContent();
if (obj instanceof
InputStream) {
InputStream
inStream = part.getInputStream();
byte[]
buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
int
bytesRead;
BufferedOutputStream
outBufStream = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(attFileName));
while
((bytesRead = inStream.read(buffer)) != -1)
outBufStream.write(buffer,
0, bytesRead);
inStream.close();
h5. outBufStream.close();
Problem
is that .read() method always returns -1 when content type Is APPLICATION/APPLEFILE,
so a file of 0 bytes are created.
Interesting is perhaps, that debugging shows me that the
part instance of the InputStream actually is a
com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and a
com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream
when it works OK.
So I have this idea, that I's a certain type of decoder
stream we're missing? We use Java 1.6.0 update 10 and JavaMail 1.4.1. and since
we use java 1.6 we use the JAF framework from that one, I guess?
Hope you guys can help?
Thanks in advance, Per Jensen

We have two (MS Exchange) servers (from trace log):
Microsoft Exchange IMAP4rev1-server version 5.5.2650.23
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7226.0
- the first one is the one, we're using here, but I have tried on the other, newer version too, and it didn't help either.
But I've found out a couple of interesting things:
1: Debugging shows me, that the part instance of the InputStream actually is a com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream when it fails, and if I forward the mail via Outlook as described earlier, and it can be read OK, the part is a com.sun.mail.util.QPDecoderStream instance.
2: I can save the WHOLE message to a file, using message.getInputStream(), and when I opens the file I can find the individual attachments - as well as the bodytext, if any - as they are separated with the disposition, mimetype and filename fields, showed as plain text. And the attachments are showed as blocks of characters; I guess it's the ascii character representation of the bytes. Here's a snippet, note the first two sentences. They seemes to be added, somehow, when I dump the message to file(?):
<START OF DUMPED FILE>

<END OF DUMPED FILE>I understand that it's base64 encoded and must be decoded, and I have tried to copy/paste the blocks separately, run them through the com.sun.mail.util.BASE64DecoderStream, and saving them as PDF files, which works fine(!).
As the solution seems to be painfull: Parse the mail to find where the attachments starts and stops and saving them as files, I hope you guys can send me on the right track?

Problems with some PDF files

Hi,
I have problems with some PDF files. After clicking on link to the file Safari shows me insted of normal document (which is working on Windows) hashes, numbers etc like it was a problem with coding or something. First I was using Preview, I though that maybe installing Acrobat Reader with plugins will solve the problem, but ofcourse it didn't. Did somebody has this same problem?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -app Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Quit Safari. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Problems reading generated pdf-files

Hi all,
I have problems reading generated pdf-files from
Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3
An error-message occurs when opening the pdf with
Adobe Acrobat 5.0.1:
... problem 110 and after moving in an empty pdf-document
the messages:
- too few operands
- an unrecognized token
I think the solution must be very simple, but the docu and
other info resources provide nothing aboutthis issue.
Greetings,

I have a problem with uploading pdf files. This was raised in April by Mariano and the solution given - but the link to the solution does not work. How do I get to the solution?

I have just come across this problem uploading pdf files on FF 3.6. Mariano posted this same problem on 5 Apr ( I found his post after a Google search as a search of this Forum gave no result). It is shown as "solved" but when I click on the Show Solution link it just loops back to the question.
How do I get to see the solution?

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

Upgrade to Netweaver causing problem while opening pdf file in the portal

After an upgrade to Netweaver 4.0, the following code for opening a pdf file constructed from a byte stream passed from an RFC fails.
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse myResponse = request.getServletResponse(true);
myResponse.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"AIPDoc.pdf\"");
myResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream baosPdf = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OutputStream os = myResponse.getOutputStream();
os.write(pdfResult);
PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, os);
It throws a "file not found error" on opening directly. However, if saved and viewed; it opens fine. I believe we need to specify the portal url in the filename but not sure.
Thanks,
Devina

Hi Devina,
We are also opening a pdf file constructed from a byte stream passed from an RFC. Our problem is that we are experiencing inconsistent results. The file appears to open on some PC workstations but not on others. When it doesn't work we simply get a blank screen in the window. Did you resolve your issue? If so, perhaps you can provide us with some suggestions for solving our problem.
Thank you,
Angie
