  • Image issue in PDF output

    I am running into an issue that I have narrowed down to the PDF output generated by XML Publisher. I have an image file (JPEG format) that is dynamically loaded from a file in $OA_MEDIA. When the output is PDF and when it is printed, the image is enclosed in a gray rectangle. When the output is RTF, the image is not enclosed. In either case, screen previews do not show any borders around the image. Has anyone encountered this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sunder

    make sure when you are printing the document that you are using a postscript printer driver. If you are using pcl it will encase the image with a light grey background

  • Issues with PDF output

    Hi,
    I have a report registered for language=English and territory=Netherlands. But when I run the report, I cannot see the output. I get the following message:
    "Unable to find published output for this request"
    The report fetches data and creates the XML correctly. I have registered the template with Language = ENglish and Territory = Netherlands. I run the above report from a Netherland installation.
    Any pointers how to debug this.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi Aashish,
    I suggest you to check the RTF Template of your report ....as if your xml output file on submit request form--->diagnostic --->view xml ...is generated ... it means that your data defination file is perfectly fine but there is issue with your rtf template....may be some of grouping or tag is not put properly...
    one thing i want to suggest you to pls save that data file as .xml extension and upload in rtf u designed on youe desktop.... check theprview if its coming fine or not.
    let me know if u still facing the same problem.

  • Issue with PDF

    Hi All,
    i facing issue with PDF format .
    we developed smartform and we are using standard program SAPF150D2.
    we did translation for that form englsih to  EURO.
    Now if we  see output in OTF format , it showing correct way in EURO.
    but , i we see same layout in PDF format,
    Insted of showing ( ' )this letter, it is showing # in the PDF layout.
    Is there any pointer to know soultion for this.
    Thanks in advance,
    regards,
    JBR

    This is likely a problem with the way those links are coded in the PDF file, so the file may have to be saved again using different settings to make it work with PDF Viewers other than the Adobe Reader.

  • Need help on resolving the issue with adobe output server - error MSG256 & MSG 210 not in .ini file

    Hi,
    I am using adobe output designer 5.5 for designing the label template and using the Adobe output server for printing process.
    In the Jfmerge.ini we given the condition "DiscardUnknownFields=Yes" for ignoring the unwanted fields in the .dat file.
    During the process, I faced some issue with the output server in printing the labels.
    When the .dat file is placed in the Data folder of adobe, the label is not getting printed in the printer.
    The file is move to the error folder and an error file is getting generated which contains the error message as given below:
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [256]** Message Msg256 not in .ini file **
    090826 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
    2009/08/26 02:59:02 D:\Program Files\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfserver.exe: [314]Agent exit message: [210]** Message Msg210 not in .ini file **
    The output server is a new installtion and I verified the Jfmerge.ini file. It contains the message details of Msg256 and Msg210.
    I also verified the license and it is a valid licence.
    Kindly help me out in solving this issue.
    Thanks
    Senthil

    I assume this is too late to help you, but other might need a hint.  I had the same problem, and found some possible causes that I posted on http://codeznips.blogspot.com/2010/02/adobe-output-server-message-msg210-not.html.
    It is quite likely that you are missing some double quotes around the path specifying the ini file (-aii), if its installed under "Program Files".
    Hope this helps anyone....

  • Intermittent issues with video output initialization

    Hi Guys,
    I have received a new (i5, 15') Mac-book Pro more than 9 months ago. About 6 months ago it started having some serious intermittent issues with video output. Those issues are numerous and different every time, but all seems to lead to GPU problem. In chronological order:
    1)Started showing static colors as flickering and white color as blue.
    2)Blue screens in bootcamp and hangs in mac os
    3)Startup problems (fail to start)
    4)Startup problems resolved with firmware patch, but video fails to initialize during startups:shows black on mac os, and distorted green during bootcamp.
    So right now I am stuck with #4. The main issue is that it is intermittent - sometimes it starts to happen and sometimes it does not. Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap, even when I was able to demonstrate it to 2 people in there and gave me back the unit after failing to reproduce the problem on their own. I have all those problems in video and photos, but I don't see anywhere I could send them besides this forum.
    Some of the evidence (I have much more):

    You are still under warranty. *Call AppleCare*
    "Is there any way I can make apple replace the unit or the video-card? I did bring it to a apple certified service center, but they did not give any crap"
    No you cannot make Apple do anything. What you can do is call _Apple Customer Relations_ in your country. You can call AppleCare & ask politely & firmly to be transferred over to Customer Relations if there is no direct phone number like there is in the US. Relay to them what you stated in this post. See what they can do for you.
    You posted in the wrong MBP area (Original). I have requested that a HOST move your post to the proper forum MacBook Pro (2008 and Later). There will be no need for you to repost.

  • "Building Imaging Applications with Java"

    Hello!
    Does anyone know the book "Building Imaging Applications with Java" from Larry Rodrigues well (really worked through the chapters)?
    Have a question which is very difficult to explain when you don't know his code.
    Regards
    Carsten

    1)Java is backward-compatable, so almost anything that used to work should still work
    2)If you aren't already using it, take a look at swing:

  • Issue in PDF output for xml report

    Hi,
    I developed one template in RTF and output in pdf is looks fine.
    I have issue in the output, For some invoices i have more lines,when the line details comes to next page for the same invoice i can able to view only the lines information in the next pages for the same invoice without any header details.
    I need header information too if the lines comes to the next page.
    i given <G_Headers> in the top of the page and <End for each> in the end of the page.
    please how to resolve this issue.
    with regards
    Ram

    There are lot of ways of doing this,
    Simple one is given here.
    If you are using table to display the rows, there is option in word table properties, to repeat the header in each page,
    Repeating table headers
    If your data is displayed in a table, and you expect the table to extend across
    multiple pages, you can define the header rows that you want to repeat at the start
    of each page.
    1. Select the row(s) you wish to repeat on each page.
    2. From the Table menu, select Heading Rows Repeat

  • Reports issue with pdf

    Dear all,
    I have migrated a reports form 6i to 10gR1.
    We are facing an issue while printing with PDF.
    The printed page is not corresponding in term of margins to the initial print (with 6i).
    And we have some predefined paper and we cannot change them
    When, on my local PC, I'm trying to print it directly from Report, it is fine.
    It is really due to PDF format.
    The margins are identical, the paper size too.
    Why PDF file is not corresponding to the REPORTS?
    Any idea?
    Best regards,
    Sebastien

    While printing PDF, change PDF print settings:
    'Shrink oversized pages to paper size' as Checked (selected)
    This may solve this issue.

  • Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output

    I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.

    You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

  • Issues With PDF Template Mapping

    Hi all,
    Oracle BI Publisher for Windows 10.1.3.2.1
    Oracle Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.2.1
    Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5
    Broswer IE 6.0.29
    I have created a report based on a single database table (DEMO.PRODUCTS) but am experiencing problems when I try and map the form fields in PDF Template to my sample XML file.
    I created a PDF Template and uploaded this template to my Layout. This PDF Template has two form fields on it (PRODUCTNAME and UNITPRICE, which incidentally are the names of the database columns I want them to map to).
    I have also uploaded my sample XML data file and therefore have access to the Map Form Fields button on my report definition. However, when I click on the button a new window opens with the Map PDF Form Fields and a dialog to "Click on each highlighted...." and then hangs. When I close the window I receive a message about an Adobe Acrobat error.
    If I try and do the same thing in Firefox then I receive a message in the JavaScript Console:

    Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 5.0

  • Issue with PDF download

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing problem with the PDF download option. In the answers request I have to use Pivot tables to display data and since these pivot tables do not provide the option of Table Headings, I resorted to HTML to get a similar output. The issue I am facing right now is when I print it through PDF or Powerpoint, the HTML code I have written comes up instead of the result. In the case of excel or answers, I am getting the proper output. Is there some setting I am missing?? I am using the column with the HTML coding in the Columns section of the pivot table.
    Thnx!

    Hi,
    This is a known issue with HTML code embedded in your request, when you try to download the same in PDF, PowerPoint it will show the code.
    You can the following bugs regarding this in metalink.

  • Indesign CS4 - Issues with .PDF and .ps

    I have just done a clean install of my system (MacBook pro) with Snow Leopard and have now installed Adobe Creative Suite 4. I am trying to output a PDF and a .ps file for a document I have created that contains spreads.
    InDesign print PDF
    There are three ways to print a PDF, as attached Print PDF 1,2,3:
    Image Print PDF_1: The 'Save as PDF' produces a pdf that can't be opened and gives an error message that it's not a supported file type.
    Image Print PDF_2: The 'File > Export' option works and the spreads appear to be fine
    Image Print PDF_3: When I try and print to a PDF using the 'Printer: Adobe PDF 8.0'  printer the print dialog box allows me to choose the option however when the job spools it just disappears - it doesnt ask me where to save the PDF and the PDF never comes to fruition. I have read on forums this is a known issue with Snow Leopard.
    What is the best way to create a PDF in CS4?
    InDesign print .PS file
    When I go to print a postscript file I get no page preview or access to setup options to change paper size etc. Even if I select  'spreads', after I have run it through distiller it seems to have ignored the spreads, or else has not adjusted the page setup appropriately, and just an A4 page comes out.
    (See image Print Postscript_1, 1A).
    Is there another way to create a .ps file?
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Multiple RDF exeuction with PDF output?

    Hello,
    First, let say I'm beginner with HTML DB but experimented with Forms and Reports.
    We want to create a new application with an HTML DB front end to enter data and launch reports.
    We have 3 complex crosstab .rdf reports that produce PDF output. Our users want us to run them separatly but also they want the possibility to run them together and present only one pdf output, that is the concatenation of the 3 pdf, via a single button click.
    In Forms, I would probably generate the 3 pdf on Report server file system and after execution completion, run a freeware that merge the 3 pdf together and present the resulting pdf on the screen. This required to run report one after the other in sequence (sync).
    But from HTML DB, I don't know if I can do something like this i.e. create the 3 pdf and when created, merge them and present it to the user? I have take a look at Oracle Report itself but found nothing.
    We run our DB on Unix, we are using 9iAS for listener and Win2000 on the client.
    Thank you
    Jean

    We solved a similar situation by creating a 4th report that was a combination of the original 3 reports. When the print all button is hit, we run the 4th report.
    It does makes maintenance of the reports an issue. If you change one of the reports you have to change the 4th report.
    However, you do get some benefits like page numbering.
    Another possibility, might be to just have 1 report that does the whole thing, then use parameters to decide to print all or part of it. That way you wouldn't have the issue of maintenance.
