Problems with FOP/Apache - Apex PDF printing

Hello,
I have configured
Apex 3.0.1
iAS 10.1.3.x (http + modplsql)
OC4J 10.1.3.3 (stand alone)
FOP for PDF printing
RDBMS 9.2.0.8 64bits (Solaris)
following the OTN recipee and this setup does not seem to work for all cases.
For instance, using the Apex admin interface, I go to the monitoring page :
Home -> Monitor Page -> Login Attempts
And click on the Print link (left bottom corner of the page) , it works o.k, the PDF is generated correctly.
However, if I go to
Home -> utilities -> Object Reports -> Table Storage Sizes
and click on the Print link, it does not work. A pdf file is generated with the following text
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>500 Internal Server Error</H1>
<PRE>Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details.</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
If I check in the application log I see the following error
07/08/08 11:52:21.584 fop: Servlet error

I do not think it is related to a config/installation issue. It seems a parsing issue with the SQL stmt being executed, but it works for some SQL code and not for other.
Some users did notice this problem this morning when testing the new PDF printing.
Any ideas ?

Tomcat/Cocoon/APEX PDF printing. Another issue

Hi All,
I am trying to implement my own custom report layout for the following simple Report query
select e.DEPTNO, d.DNAME, d.LOC, e.ENAME, e.JOB
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
The steps are the following
1. Create Report Query
2. Download XML file
3. Use Stylus Studio to create XSL-FO (XSLT 2.0) based on XML data downloaded in
previous step.
4. Go back to Report query and upload XSL-FO file to APEX (layout name 'MyLayout' is also specified).
Finish Report Query creation
5. Enter Report Query again, select report layout 'MyLayout' and select Test Report
The result is a failure with some java cocoon exception:
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Unknown request object encountered named template : null
Cocoon stacktrace[hide]
Exception in StreamGenerator.generate() context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 17:32 <map:serialize type="xml">
context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 13:33 <map:generate type="stream">

context://fop_post/sitemap.xmap - 30:38 <map:generate>
context://sitemap.xmap - 1034:92 <map:mount>
It seems to me that XSL-FO that I created for this layout is rejected somehow by APEX and not passed to Coccon at all.
Guys, what am I doing wrong ? I will appreciate any help.
Regards,
Vadim

Hi Mike,
My standard printing is working nicely. That's the custom reporting that I experience problems with.
After 8 hours of googling and 4 cups of coffee I figured out where the problem was. When you define XSL-FO file you need to 'escape' every occurence of % sign. For example you cannot define width= "100%" because APEX will pass this unchanged to Tomcat and Tomcat in turn will reject this but still passing NULL template pointer to Cocoon. Taking into consideration very poor logging capabilities one can spend hours trying to fugure out what is hapenning. APEX should be smart enough to escape characters or at least there should be a doco somewhere listing the rules you need to follow whem creating FO stylesheets.
I must admit that the whole APEX PDF printing using Tomcat/Cocoon (and probably Fop because that's what used by Cocoon behind the scene anyway) is unfortunately a hack. Reporting does not have to be that complex.
I would be extremely grateful if somebody can tell me what sort of XML tool is best suited to generate XSL-FO files that can be easily understood by APEX/Tomcat/Cocoon.
Regards,
Vadim

Problems with FOP

Hello everybody,
I have some problems with FOP...
I want to create pdf outputs and I want to use FOP to convert reports into pdf`s.
The documentation says that you have to install OC4J, but I can`t find the directorys to unzip the FOP files!
I installed the OC4J standalone version...
It is wrong?
What should I install? J2EE?
Sorry, but I am new at this topic...
I hope you would help me!
Thanks,
Tim

Kevin,
quote from the FOP homepage ( http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ ):
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and the world's first output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is basically a mechanism to transform an XML stream of data (e.g. the pure data of a page rendered using HTML DB) into an arbitrary output format, i.e. PDF.

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...

Problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6.

Hi, I have a problem with opening some of PDFs in Photoshop CS6. It is said: it isn't possible to carry out an order since the module of the file format cannot analyse this file

Don’t know if Reader has this, too, but in Acrobat one can check under Document Properties.
I can convert and place the file in Photoshop CS6.
I would recommend trying the usual trouble-shooting routines and if nothing helps un-installing, running the Cleaner and re-installing Photoshop. (After making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved to s secure location.)

Problem with dashed line spacing when printing to pdf

Hi all,
this may be a problem with my pdf program (I use bluebeam), but maybe someone will have an idea how to fix it whether in indesign or bluebeam.
so I made a dashed line using the stroke command in indesign. I need to have the spacing set to 3pt dash and 2pt space. I also need to keep the lineweight to 0.5...this all works fine and appears correctly in indesign when I preview
the problem is that some of the dashed lines, but not all of them, change size and spacing in the pdf when I view it. it seems to change when I zoom in and out as well. I thought maybe this was just some odd feature with bluebeam and it would still print to the correct size, but it does not, it prints the lines as different sizes. does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to fix? ive viewed and printed from adobe reader and it seems to be okay there but this file will be accessed by multiple other people and they may not be opening and printing in adobe reader..
thanks guys

When you export a PDF you will notice that you are exporting to Adobe PDF. Using any reader beyond Acrobat Pro or Reader is a crapshoot.
For issues with Bluebeam I suggest you contact the developer.

Problem with Acrobat XI license when printing to PDF, despite having CC

Hi
I have a Creative Cloud membership and all programs seem to work correctly, including Acrobat XI Pro.
There is a strange problem though - when I try to print something from Microsoft Word 2013 and chose "Adobe PDF" as the printer (which creates a PDF from the document) an Acrobat window opens, titled "Acrobat XI-Pro Testversion", stating that the testversion has expired and asking to license the product. If i click on the "license this software" button, another screen shows up that states it wants to login with my Adobe-ID (showing my correct adobe ID e-mail address). Clicking on 'login' however leads to a third screen that just has 6 blank boxes and the request to enter a serial number (but since I have CC, I don't have a serial number for acrobat XI Pro).
I already uninstalled Acrobat XI-Pro and reinstalled it (through CC) but the problem persists.
Anyone got an idea what is causing this?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem. I have noticed that the screen asking for the serial number is on my OS language (Danish). If I deactivate photoshop and activate again the same screen is in English and allows me to login and register the license with no problems. Only when printing with the Adobe PDF printer I get the problem!!
Anyone?

APEX PDF Printing with DEfault OC4J in 11g

Hi,
is it possible to use the default oc4j installation that comes with 11g for PDF printing ?
I tried http://127.0.0.1:8888/ that worked
but http://127.0.0.1:8888/em failed
The examples (available from the start-page) /examples/jsp doesn´t work also.
Thanks

Hello,
What do you mean by -

Problem with custom book size and print to PDF

I'm trying to create a 20 page 8x8 book which consists of 10 16x10 spreads. In other words, page 1 and page 20 are not start on the right and left respectively, there are exactly 10 16x10 spreads. This is a requirement for KISS wedding books. I am running into two problems:
1. The album designer seems to be forcing me to have the first page consist of a single 8x8 page, even though the last page can consist of a 2 page spread.
2. When I do print to PDF, I get 20 8x8 pages. If I change the paper size to 16x8, each 16x8 spread is followed by a single 8x8 repeat of the right side of the previous 16x8 spread. I could live with the 20 8x8 pages if there was an easy way to recombine these as 10 16x8 pages.

PS: Since my edit timed out, I was going to add speculation of a way in
ColorSync to enable or make Filters which could be used to save settings,
at least for color and printer matching schemes, this is supported in PDFs.
Not sure where I could take up where I left off to write a PS to my own post;
since I had a few links to documents I found by doing some research reading.
These may be related, but perhaps not directly enough to be of help.
• ColorSync - Wikipedia (note info on settings, filters, printing pdfs)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColorSync
• ColorSync on Mac OS X: TN 2035 (technical note detail)
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn/tn2035.html
{And if you have Acrobat, the retail application, you likely have
several other printing options unavailable to a reader app; in
that PDF print settings may be encoded into a document.}
In any event, I'm on my way out to talk to that neighbor's dog...
(The one I mentioned in my timed-out post that had been
barking up the wrong tree, while I was concentrating.)

Apex PDF printing in 11g

Dear,
I have Oracle 11g and APEX in Win XP machine. EM also configured.
To get PDF printing in APEX, I should install Apache FOP.
As per the document for PDF printing configuration, I am not getting the EM console for OC4J. (for reports and forms, OC4J is available in the same machine)
So I should install Standalone OC4J (in the same machine). My doubts are
Is OC4J 10g Standalone enough for Oracle 11g? (I could not find a OC4J 11g download)
From documnets I found that this OC4J installation will install one HTTP server also. Is this conflict with any of the settings for EM or APEX?
Is the EM which will be installed with OC4J standalone conflict with already installed EM for database? Or any method is there to use the Database EM for OC4J also?
How to find out JAVA_HOME and J2EE_HOME?
All these installation I made using the OTN downloads.
with regards
-mathews

Hi Mathews
This looks much easier than the manual configuration that I had to do.
To get to the OC4J config.......
Login to your App Server EM
Depending on what tier it is you will have various system components such as HTTP_Server, Web_Cache, home etc...
Click on home, to display OC4J page
Click on Applications
Click on Deploy WAR file
You should then be able to follow the rest of the instructions in the document.
cheers,
Ron

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

A serious problem with AAR 5.0 in printing out a book

I have written a book in MS Word 2000 and I converted it in a PDF file with AR 5.0
Then I tried to print it out as a book.
I rotated the pages and included two A4 pages in one so that an A4 sheet to have 4 pages on both sides.
In order to do this trick, I rotated the horizontal text page
to vertical position on the left side for printing out the page 1 and on the right side for printing out the page 2. This must be done in order to have the 4 pages printed out in a sequence and in an A4 sheet.
The procedure is as follows:
First, I print out the page one (1) while having my PDF text page rotated vertically on the left side and the printing out is successful.
Then I rotate again the page vertically to face on the right side to print out the page two (2) in the same sheet.
Here is where the problem begins.
The page 1 is printed out well BUT its top/bottom margin is different than the page 2, which is printed in a lower position on the A4 sheet.
The margins all around the page look perfect but the two of them are printed out with one line lower that makes one page higher or lower than the other and not in a straight line as it is supposed to be.
I have tried to find out what causes this problem with no success so I am into contact with you requesting an immediate help. I know that it is a small but serious problem particularly for my case as an author and I believe that the solution can be given only by an expert of Adobe Acrobat 5.O
Please, inform me about any adjustment that must be done to solve this margin situation (problem) as I know that AAR 5.0 is an excellent software and can do this work for me.
Regards,
Emmanouel

This has nothing to do with Adobe's OpenType development tools, which is the purpose of this forum. I think you need to post this in the Acrobat Windows forum!

I know from reading this document that the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker is not supported in IE9:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Does this only apply to the PDFMaker utility located within the browser, or does it also apply to the Adobe PDF printer that is available as a choice if I try to print a webpage?
I ask because every time I try to print a webpage to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (NOT the PDFMaker) using the following sequence of steps:
1. right clicking on the page
2. clicking "Print...",
3. selecting "Adobe PDF" from the list of printers
4. choosing a location for the destination .pdf file
4. click "Print"
a window pops up with the title "Creating Adobe PDF", but the progress bar never fills up and the PDF file is never created. There is a spinning Adobe logo and a printer icon in the system tray. If I double click on the printer icon, I can see the document I sent to the Adobe PDF printer. The status is "Spooling". Occasionallly the PDF document will eventually be created, but usually it isn't.
I have better luck in Chrome, but sometimes it too hangs, although the documents are eventually created.
Here are my specs:
Windows Vista Business 64-bit
IE 9.0.8112.16421 (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions experience the problem)
Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5
To summarize:
Printing to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer and IE9 causes the "Creating Adobe PDF" step to hang forever. I know IE9 is not compatible with PDFMaker, but what about the Adobe PDF printer?

Hi,
I believe I am having similar issues to yourself. I have been looking for solutions for a day or two now but can not find anything. Have you managed to find a resolution or work around?
