Problems using PDF Generator QPACs

I have PDF Generator 7.2 running under JBoss on one server and Workflow 7.0.1 on another. I am trying to use the PDF Generator QPACs that came with the Workflow SDK 7.0.3 but when the ConvertPDF QPAC is invoked I get the following error...
16:42:45,906 ERROR [AWS] stalling action-instance: 1407 with message: javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: com.adobe.native2pdf.api.PDFGAPI7Home (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)]
For kicks, I added pdfg-ejb.jar to JBoss's server/all/lib folder on the Workflow machine. That made the above error go away but produced a class not found error for com/adobe/idp/document which I tracked down to adobe-common.jar. When I added that I get an error regarding com/adobe/idp/context which I tracked down to um-client.jar. Adding that gives an error that com/adobe/idp/context violates loader constraints and that's where I'm stuck.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Deepak.
LiveCycle PDF Generator is the right tool to use for automating .dwg to PDF conversions and supports 2D CAD drawings. Distiller only handles PostScript to PDF. If you're interested in rendering 3D CAD drawings in PDF, there's a new product, LiveCycle PDF Generator 3D, which can handle that.

Combine .ps files using PDF Generator

Hi all,
Right now we are using the Livecycle to combine the PDF's to printer, this process was successfully running.
We got a mail from printer saying that there is repetation of same fonts name displayed in the combine pdf, that need to resolve.
We have used "RunFlex" option in acrobat professional version to distill the .ps to combine PDF file, this was working fine.
I need to configure a process to combine the .ps file.
I configured the PDF's using the "invoke" option.
Please advice.

The attached process is as follows:
It uses PDF Generator > Distiller > Create PDF to generate two PDFs from two .ps files, uses Assembler to merge the PDFs into a single PDF and extracts the assembled PDF from the AssemblerResult object.

Problems with PDF generator (PLT file to convert)

Hello everybody,
I'm having a (maybe) stupid problem trying to print a PDF file from a PLT.
Here I write the steps I followed to do my test:
1- download the example file from http://www.winline.com/evalpen_center.html (GL-C-F.plt)
2- from the Administration Panel of Livecycle ES2 go to Services > LifeCycle PDF Generator ES2 > Convert 3D
3- set as input the downloaded file and leave the default of the other parameters ("Create PDF", "Standard")
4- try to generate the PDF.
Here I have three different issues:
- the first is that in the result page, if I click on the link of the PDF file generated, I obtain the message "File does not begin with '%PDF-'" and nothing happen;
- if I click on it and I download the file, I can see it is a PS file, as if LifeCycle generates the PS but it doesn't print the PDF;
- in the end if I convert the PS to PDF, I cannot see anything because the drawing is completly out of the page and too big to be displayed entirely.
Could you suggest me any kind of solution or what I have to check in the parameters? I don't know what I can do now because I don't have any other idea.
If I try to open the file in Adobe 3D Reviewer, I can do what I want, so I think it's not a problem due to compability.
Thanks,
Riccardo

If you were using an Adobe product, someone could probably help but as it is, you aren't using one at all.
You'll want to check with the support folks at whatever company makes deskpdf 2.5.

Conversion of Tiff docs using PDF generator

Hi,
In our business, we get the tiff images which needs to be converted to PDF. I learned that PDF generator ES can do this.
Can we extract the text and values present in the Tiff images and save it in our database using OCR feature in PDF generator?
If not with this, do we have any other way where we can use features of OCR and Adobe?
Also, can we install LiveCycle PDF Generator ES trial version without installing the whole Enterprise suite? If we install by selecting the appropriate modules we want in enterprise suite, will it work fine without having other pieces of enterprise suite?
Thanks in advance,

Is anyone has already had the following error using PDF Generator?

Hello,
I try to convert some documents (.doc, .ppt, ...) into .pdf using the PDF Generator.
And sometimes, I hava the following error in a .log file (in the out directory):
Failed to process job DDLaunchObject-2006-08-08 13-22-40.102.doc
Error Code: 1,011
Reason: The BMC reported failure in converting the document.
Is anyone has already had that error? What do I have to do?
Please, could you help me?
Thanks a lot!

I have seen this error when trying to convert a certain Word document. The Word document itself when i opened it in Word resulted in a warning message that it needed to install a language pack, once i installed this language pack, the conversion in PDFG worked.
PDFG uses the native process in the background to convert the files. That means for Word docs it actually uses msword.exe to read the document. If opening the document in Word results in any kind of error or user dialog, then this could be what causes the PDFG server to fail, as the server cannot respond to the error/dialog that occurs.
hope that helps.
David.

How to use PDF generator installed on dedicated machine

Hi!
According to Adobe official recommendation I have installed PDF generator on dedicated machine, separed from rest of LiveCycle modules. But now I don't know how to use such a PDF generator from my LC processes. Obviously I may use webservice component and call PDF generator using SOAP. But that is not elegant. I searched in adminui for some URL or IP address settings, but found nothing.
And what to do when I have more then one PDF generator server? Probably I need some sort of load balancing. Is LC ES capable of work in such configuration?
Thanks for some ideas.
--- Jaroslav

There is possible to specify PDF generator location in file repository:///assembler.properties . So I created the file:
serverType=JBoss
protocol=soap
endPoint=http://192.168.2.1:8080
username=administrator
password=password
and put it to repository root. Unfortunetally nothing happened. I restared server also but no effect. Do you have some experience with configuring server location in LiveCycle?

Problems installing PDF Generator with Workflow

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

Problems printing pdfs generated by Crystal Reports X

The printers in our office area were recently upgraded to Xerox Work Centre 5632 printers using Managed Print Service. We are now having issues printing reports from within the application to any of these newly defined printers. The Arial font, which is commonly used on the majority of our report templates, is displaying as a series of squares with readable letters or numbers thrown in randomly. I don't know if the issue is limited to Arial, or if other fonts behave similarly. I have tried to print several different reports to several different print servers and printer combinations, all with the same result. When viewing the report online, or saving as PDF and viewing, it looks fine. If we save the report as a PDF, then select "print as an image" (on the advanced tab of the print menu), the report will print correctly.
Is there any way to either change the report design or a setting in Crystal Reports to prevent this from happening ? This problem did not occur when using a different printer.

This is not a Crystal Reports issue. It is a printer (or printer driver) issue. Does the printer support Arial font???
HTH,
Carl

Page length problem in PDFs generated from HTML pages in Acrobat

I just spent an exhausting 2-1/2 hours on the phone with Adobe tech support (offshore) in order to get a 5 minute fix. I figured that I'd document it here in case another user has the same problem. (I'd checked the forums and a few e-mail lists and hadn't found a solution.)
When generating PDFs from HTML (Web) pages, Acrobat squeezed all of the text into the middle of a single page (with just the last inch or so of text on page 2). This resulted in pages that Acrobat identified as being 30", 40", even 60" long, and the printed results were unusable. I haven't been able to identify an event or a system change that caused this to happen; Acrobat had been generating PDFs properly before this trouble started.
THE FIX:
1. Start Acrobat and run the Repair Installation option from the Help menu.
2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0
and rename the Preferences file to PreferencesOld. A PC restart will be
required after this change.
3. Restart Acrobat. This creates a fresh Preferences folder.
4. Test creating PDFs from a single HTML page and from multiple pages.

Thanks, Bernd, but where are these settings? While I'm writing, is there a setting to make an html file fit on one page in Acrobat?

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 .

How many Licenses of Acrobat Professional do I need for Adobe LC PDF Generator

Hi,
At our customer site we have purchased 6 licenses of Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and have recieved a license file with the keys for Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We bought the license from a reseller of the product. We understand that the Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator is a server based software and needs 1 license per CPU. Each of our server (Dev, Val & Prod) have 2 CPU's so we have sufficient licenses (6). We are under the impression that this would suffice. How ever we are not sure on how many licenses we need for Acrobat Professional.
Here is a brief description of the way we would use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. We are deploying a PLM system and one of the requirement is to render Word documents to PDF so we are using PDF Generator for this capability. On our Adobe servers we will install Microsoft Word, Acrobat Professional V9 Extended and the Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator. We will have around 150 users for the PLM system being deployed. The PLM system is a Web based system which means the PLM application server will be running on a Solaris server in our case. As part of the workflows in the PLM system, at the end of the workflow process, the PLM server would trigger a request to the Adobe server to convert the word document to PDF. The Adobe server processess the request and returns the PDF file that gets generated.
Based on the above usage of the system how many licenses of Acrobat Professional do we need? We will be installing Acrobat only on the server where we install the Livecycle PDF Generator. We had a call with our purchasing person today and she cautioned us that for Adobe Acrobat Professional we might need 1 license per user of the PLM system. She has asked us to check this with the Vendor of the product. Somehow I don't think it makes sense to purchase so many Acrobat Professional licenses even though we install only once.
So can someone tell me How does the licensing for Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator work? How many Acrobat Professional licenses we actually need? Is it based on the number of users in the system that is triggering the request? Appreciate your response on this.
Regards,
Ragha

You really should talk to your Adobe Sales Rep about this. There are all kinds of special deals, licenses and such for customers using LiveCycle. (For instance the license for PDFG may include Acrobat licenses for certain uses).
