Pure Java API to generate/transform linearized PDFs?

I found some tools on the net to linearize PDF documents. But all use JNI to call some native library (DLL). Is there also a pure Java solution to linearize PDFs?

Martin,
Could you pass on the info on solutions you mentioned on java/jni PDF linearization? Iv'e used the pdfopt script based on ghostscript to linearize iText-created pdf files with jpg images. However, pdfopt applied to pdf files with jpeg-2000 images are not properly linearized for a reason I've not tracked down yet. We're building pdf formats for scanned books as part of the openlibrary.org project at the Internet Archive "open source books" project.
In fact, any free/open source solution for pdf linearization for linux would be very useful, even if not java-based.

Todd

Looking for pure Java API to read metadata from an MP4 file.

Hi, I am looking for a pure Java api that can read MP4 metadata. I have been trying to look online for one but have not found anything
suitable. If there are no good api's, can someone point me to resources on how to parse metadata from an MP4, tutorials would be great
as well. I have looked online for that as well but have not found much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Java API or Web Service for PDF generator for PostScript?

Hello Guys,
We acquired the evaluation version of the LiveCycle PDF generator for PostScript software and are in the process of acquiring information regarding the web-service / java api option but we can't seem to find extensive documentation or sample code.
The provided documentation gives some information on the different methods that can be used for web service but nothing extensive on how to use them properly in context. The documentation mentions java code samples on the developer ressource but I can't seem to get my hands on anything useful.
I looked around for quite some time on the developer ressource site but I must say it is not very easy to use. We are buried under a ton of useless information and the search functionality doesn't seem to yield interresting results.
Are we missing something obvious?
Regards
Jeff Michaud

Hi Jeff, I am in the exact same situation... I've been trying to find a document, just an overall user guide for the tool... nothing.
Even on the phone no one was able to answer me where that doc was. Does it exist?
Has anyone found a doc containing the information describing the APIs and on how to use the Web Services? Jeff, did you find something usefull yet?
Thanks!

Is there a JAVA API to generate out reports yet?

I've read all the forum information regarding a java api not being available yet. They are dated back in 2004. Is there still not one available? I need to be able to generate reports that were created with Oracle reports, but do it from a Java Application. I need some way to be able to access these reports. Is there a solution out there yet?

You can execute reports through the reports server through a database package called SRW which is nothing more than a HTTP request.
If you have a java program which can make a HTTP call you are in business.
Look at the event driven API called SRW.

Thrid party java API for exporting rpt to PDF

Hi all,
We have come accross a limitation of RAS in exporting a large report with subreports and images to PDF. This can take up to 20 minutes. We have looked at optimizing the templates and have opened multiple tickets with SAP but for various reasons have not been able to get this corrected.
I understand there is a 3rd party that has developed a Java library to export to PDF without using RAS. Is anyone familiar with this?
I appreciate any information.
Thanks,
James

James,
I beleive the cystal reports cache/page server combo can also be used to export to PDFwithout touching the RAS services. We use the below class to do our exporting and it seems to work well, but our reports are relativly small.

Process with RenderPDFForm using Java API not generating output file

I have a short-lived process that renders a PDF/HTML form based on input parameters. It also takes a .xdp file as input. This works just fine from with
in Workbench (9.0). I have created a Java client to invoke this process. When I invoke the process from the Java Client,
it is not creating the output file. When I look at the invocation response, I see the output parameter (output file) name, but it is null.
Here is my code.
Properties connectionProps =
new Properties();
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_DEFAULT_SOAP_ENDPOINT", "http://hostname:8080");connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL","SOAP");
connectionProps.setProperty(

connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "username");
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password");
//Create a ServiceClientFactory object
ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);
//Create a ServiceClient object
ServiceClient myServiceClient = myFactory.getServiceClient();
//Create a Map object to store the parameter value
Map params =
new HashMap();
File file =new File("C:/test1/test.xdp");File ofile =
new File("C:/TestProcess.pdf");
//String formName = "RD410-4.xdp";
InputStream inFile =new FileInputStream(file);OutputStream oFileStream =
new FileOutputStream(ofile);
byte[] cData = "".getBytes();
Document inputData =
new Document(inFile);
// Document outputData = new Document(oFileStream);
inputData.passivate();
params.put("Form", inputData);params.put(

InvocationRequest invokeRequest = myFactory.createInvocationRequest(
"MyApplication10/Processes/RenderForm", //Specify the short-lived process name
"invoke", //Specify the operation name
params,
//Specify input values
true); //Create a synchronous request
InvocationResponse invokeresponse = myServiceClient.invoke(invokeRequest);
Document encryptDoc = (Document) invokeresponse.getOutputParameter("outputFile");
//Save the encrypted PDF document returned by the process
//Save the password-encrypted PDF document
File outFile =new File("C:\\test1.pdf");encryptDoc.copyToFile (outFile);
I see the output parameter "outputFile" in the invokeresponse object. But it is null.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction ?
Thanks,

In office word bi publisher plugin, load the xml, the chart can be generated.
The above exception only occurs in some linux and solaris platforms, but never occurs in windows.
The following plateform throws exception.
Oracle Linux Server release 5.6 + java version "1.6.0_25"
The following plateform doesn't throw exception.
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage) + java version "1.6.0_05"
The strange thing is in those platforms which can throw exception, if the code is not running in EJB, the chart still can be generated.
In other words, if the normal web or standalone app invokes that program; the chart can be generated.
The java code is as below.
     public static void generate(String inputXML, String pdfTempPath, String outputPDF) {
          Reader reader = null;
          try {
               File xmlFile = new File(inputXML);
     reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(xmlFile), "UTF-8"));
          ByteArrayOutputStream tmpXSL = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(pdfTempPath);
               rtfProcessor.setOutput(tmpXSL);
               rtfProcessor.process();
          ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(tmpXSL.toByteArray());
          FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
          processor.setData(reader);
          processor.setTemplate(in);
          processor.setOutput(outputPDF);
          processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
          processor.generate();
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          finally {
               try {
                    if(reader!=null) {
                         reader.close();
               } catch (Exception e) {
Can anyone explain why this exception is thrown?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Tux Dueñas,
I think you need to have ACL's setup in Oracle 11g in order to be able to connect to the BI Publisher server. Check the following link on how to setup ACL's in 11g...

Human Task Java API

Hi
I have a requirement to create human tasks without using soa. I am trying to use the Human task Java API. Using this API I can do all the operations like updating the outcome, adding/updating comments and updating assignee list but not able to create initial task. I am using initiateTask operation which requires task definition id. I dont know how to set this. Can anybody guide me
1. Can I create human tasks without using composite pure java api?
2. If I am able to create initial task what will be the task definition id? I tried to enter a new row in soa infra meta data table which did not work.
I really appreciate the help.
Thanks

Hi Sri
I have few Processes deployed to my SOA Domain and that too under different Partitions. For ease of maintenance, in EM Console under soa_infra node instead of default partition we can have our own Partitions also to deploy specific workflow projects under those partitions. If you don't have this thats ok.
I looked at Payload data for all the Tasks submitted by the first Initiator Task in EM Console, when we check the Flow Trace etc. Here is what I found for <taskDefinitionId> value for each of my different Processes. They do have some Pattern. So you had to use some sort of properties file to get these values so that if they are deployed to different partitions and with different versions, you do not have to modify your java code and recompile it. Just modify .properties file.
Anyhow, looks like the format for <taskDefinitionId> is something like this:
NameOfPartition + "/" + NameOfProcess + "!" + VersionNumber + "/" + NameOfInitiatorHumanTask
Here are some examples from my domain for some of the Process.
<taskDefinitionId>default/SalesQuoteProcess!1.0/EnterQuote</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Ravi1_Partition/CreditReviewRequestProcess!1.0/HumanTaskCreditRequestor1</taskDefinitionId>
<taskDefinitionId>Jegga1_Partition/HolidayProcess!1.0/StartNewHolidayTask</taskDefinitionId>
You already tried hardcoding it I guess and it worked. Now try generating them dynamically using simple String appenders and sort of properties file to make it more dynamic. How often do we really change partition name or human task name itself or name of process itself. They are pretty much fixed. Now comes only the Version number. This can change with your new deployment if you want to have different version. So just read all these from .properties file.
Thanks

Can I create a cert with the Java API only?

I'm building a client/server app that will use SSL and client certs for authenticating the client to the server. I'd like for each user to be able to create a keypair and an associated self-signed cert that they can provide to the server through some other means, to be included in the server's trust store.
I know how to generate a key pair with an associated self-signed cert via keytool, but I'd prefer to do it directly with the Java APIs. From looking at the Javadocs, I can see how to generate a keypair and how to generate a cert object using an encoded representation of the cert ( e.g. java.security.cert.CertificateFactory.generateCertififcate() ).
But how can I create this encoded representation of the certificate that I need to provide to generateCertificate()? I could do it with keytool and export the cert to a file, but is there no Java API that can accomplish the same thing?
I want to avoid having the user use keytool. Perhaps I can execute the appropriate keytool command from the java code, using Runtime.exec(), but again a pure java API approach would be better. Is there a way to do this all with Java? If not, is executing keytool via Runtime.exec() the best approach?

There is no solution available with the JDK. It's rather deficient wrt certificate management, as java.security.cert.CertificateFactory is a factory that only deals in re-treads. That is, it doesn't really create certs. Rather it converts a DER encoded byte stream into a Java Certificate object.
I found two ways to create a certificate from scratch. The first one is an all Java implementation of what keytool does. The second is to use Runtime.exec(), which you don't want to do.
1. Use BouncyCastle, a free open source cryptography library that you can find here: http://www.bouncycastle.org/ There are examples in the documentation that show you how to do just about anything you want to do. I chose not to use it, because my need was satisfied with a lighter approach, and I didn't want to add a dependency unnecessarily. Also Bouncy Castle requires you to use a distinct version with each version of the JDK. So if I wanted my app to work with JDK 1.4 or later, I would have to actually create three different versions, each bundled with the version of BouncyCastle that matches the version of the target JDK.
2. I created my cert by using Runtime.exec() to invoke the keytool program, which you say you don't want to do. This seemed like a hack to me, so I tried to avoid it; but actually I think it was the better choice for me, and I've been happy with how it works. It may have some backward compatibility issues. I tested it on Windows XP and Mac 10.4.9 with JDK 1.6. Some keytool arguments changed with JDK versions, but I think they maintained backward compatibility. I haven't checked it, and I don't know if I'm using the later or earlier version of the keytool arguments.

Output Service Java API

Hi,
I have installed and deployed Adode LC ES 8.1 for weblogic. I have two questions;
1) While deploying the components 'Workbench Admin', 'Rights Admin' and 'PDF generator', exceptions are thrown saying that somes jar can not be deployed. After this exception the deployment stops.
a) PDF Generator Component
[2007-07-11 17:44:02,751], FINE , Thread-11, com.adobe.livecycle.lcm.feature.deployment.LCMDeployerUtil, installComponent : ..\working\deployLC\deploy\adobe-pdfgconfig-dsc.jar
[2007-07-11 17:44:08,749], SEVERE , Thread-11, com.adobe.livecycle.lcm.feature.deployment.DeployDSCs, Failed to deploy component.
com.adobe.livecycle.lcm.core.LCMException[ALC-LCM-030-200]: Failed to deploy component.
b) Righta Admin Component

c) Workbench Admin Component

com.adobe.livecycle.lcm.core.LCMException[ALC-LCM-030-200]: Failed to deploy component.
2) I do not know whether this is because of the above. When I am using Output Service with Java API, to generate PDF for a given xdp and xml data, I am getting the below exception,
Exception in thread "Main Thread" com.adobe.livecycle.output.exception.OutputException: com.adobe.idp.DocumentError: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to load class com.adobe.idp.DocumentFileID (see the server-side log for details)
at com.adobe.livecycle.output.client.OutputClient.generatePDFOutput(OutputClient.java:138)
at adobe.CARSPDFGenerator.main(CARSPDFGenerator.java:46)
Caused by: com.adobe.idp.DocumentError: error unmarshalling arguments; nested exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to load class com.adobe.idp.DocumentFileID (see the server-side log for details)
Appreciated your help.
Thanks

Hi
We are using ejp service for generating PDF.But our outputClient.generatePDFOutput() is not giving us anything.When it is being called program gets hang,nor it is throwing any exeption.
I am running the program from my machine which has windows OS and LiveCycle is intalled on Linux machine and has Weblogic server on it.
We are making connection in service Client.

Any javadoc documentation available for Workflow Java API?

Does anyone know if there is a "proper" Javadoc generated set of documentation for the Workflow Java API. The supplied html/pdf documentation describing the Java API has lots of omissions (eg, the getItemAttributes method returns an instance of WFTwoDDataSource - but where is the WFTwoDDataSource documented and how should I use the methods in that class?) I've tried loading some of the undocumented class definitions into a class browser, but the class methods have unhelpful parameter names like 'param1', which doesn't help in understanding how some of the classes and their methods should be used. I've tried searching technet and metalink for more specific documentation without success. If anyone can point me at a more useful set of documentation for the class hierarchies and their methods, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm also starting with workflow 2.6 java api. Just wondering if you had any luck in getting the source for wftest sample program... In case you did, could you send it to me please.
Thanks in advance.

Using the Data Engine Java API

I try to use the Data Engine Java API to generate an XML document from database data.
So as mentioned in the documentation Business Intelligence Publisher User's Guide Release 10.1.3.2 (page 4-26 to 4-27)
a) I created a java class (using Jdev Version 11.1.1.0.0)
package oracle.apps.XMLPublisher.client;
import com.sun.java.util.collections.Hashtable;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import oracle.apps.xdo.XDOException;
import oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.DataProcessor;
public class XMLFileGenerator {
public XMLFileGenerator() {
public static void dataEngine() throws ClassNotFoundException, Exception {
XMLFileGenerator xMLFileGenerator = new XMLFileGenerator();
try {
//Initialization instantiate the DataProcessor class//
DataProcessor dataProcessor;
dataProcessor = new DataProcessor();
//Set Data Template to be executed
dataProcessor.setDataTemplate("PERFRBS.xml");
Hashtable parameters;
parameters = new Hashtable();
parameters.put("P_LEGAL_ENTITY_ID", "3259");
parameters.put("P_TRU_ID", "3262");
parameters.put("P_YEAR", "2009");
dataProcessor.setParameters(parameters);
// Now set the jdbc connection to the database that you
// wish to execute the template against.
// This sample assumes you have already created
// the connection object 'jdbcConnection'
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
String url =
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@ap6005sdb.us.oracle.com:1526:hremeadv";
Connection jdbcConnection;
jdbcConnection= DriverManager.getConnection(url, "apps", "*****");
dataProcessor.setConnection(jdbcConnection);
System.out.println("Here1");
// Specify the output directory and file for the data file
dataProcessor.setOutput("BilanSocial.xml");
System.out.println("Here2");
dataProcessor.processData();
System.out.println("Here3");
} catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("SQLException " + e.getMessage());
} catch (XDOException e) {
System.out.println("XDOException" + e.getMessage());
public static void main(String[] argv) throws ClassNotFoundException,
Exception {
XMLFileGenerator xmlPublisher = new XMLFileGenerator();
XMLFileGenerator.dataEngine();
b) to generate my xml file based on the following data template
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<dataTemplate name="PERFRBS" defaultPackage="" version="1.0">
<parameters>
<parameter name="P_LEGAL_ENTITY_ID" dataType = "number"></parameter>
<parameter name="P_TRU_ID" dataType = "number"></parameter>

</parameters>
<lexicals>
</lexicals>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q_INDICATORS">

            AND    pai.action_information2             = :P_TRU_ID

---> But when I run it , it fails when calling the data processor with the following error

Thanks by advance for your help

Make sure you have the Oracle JDBC library setup in project parties and it's setup to export. The api's are fine. Have you looked at the BIPublisherIDE I wrote. All this code is already written for you. There is a manual on the site as well

API to generate an image of random letters?

Is there a free Java API for generating those images of random letters used to ensure that a human has submitted a web form?
I know it's not too hard to write from scratch, but I'd like to save myself the work :)

it's called a "captcha", their site (captcha.org or something) will have links to implementations.
or google.. "java captcha implementation" ..

Pure Java API to generate/transform linearized PDFs?
