SharePoint Online - Generate or create PDF documents with content

Hi,
We are in the process of evaluating SharePoint Online for a project that requires to create PDF documents. These documents are kind of reports that can be generated in the system. In case of on-premise we would have created a custom farm solution probably
using some PDF creation DLL to create the document.
However, wanted to know what are the options in SPOnline? The word automation service might not help because in that case we will need to generate a word document first and then convert it to PDF. Also, creation of this word document would again be a question
to answer.
Any suggestion/thoughts?

There is no create a PDF option in SharePoint. (not in on-prem and not in online)
You can print to PDF in most of the Operating systems and/or browsers by default.
And you can of course create a document and save that to PDF (or export to PDF or Print to PDF)
The Word Automation service..... is for Word... as you mention you dont't want to use word.... so that is not an option.
In general ... WHY?
If it is for Locking down the posibilities for a end user who sees the document you can also implement IRM (based on AADRM or just in Word itself)
If it is for publishing... you also need a "source document" and that can be Word.
So without the whole story it is difficult to advice.... In general if you want to create PDF document and edit it right from PDF and also don't want to use the Office suite, maybe a solution of Adobe like: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud.html

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?

Pages: create pdf documents with hyperlinks to web pdf files

Hi everybody,
I've created a pdf file with Pages, it contains a number of hyperlinks some of them work and the others don't.
The ones that works are linked to an html page, and those non working are linked to pdf documents on the net (still beginning with http:// but ending with .pdf).
I don't know ho to solve this because Pages automatically create hyperlinks and the only options available are email, pages document, web page and bookmarks.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Hi Jeff and thanks for the reply,
the links work perfectly in the pages document but one I've exported it in pdf some of them don't work anymore.
I don't see any difference in the url structure of the pdf links, they are copied ant pasted from the url box of the browser.
Here's one of the link that don't work
http://www.enpap.it/documenti/elezioni1317/NOTAI_COLLEGIO3_SUD_E_ISOLE.pdf
Could the problem has something to do with the underscores or capital letters? It would seem strange but I don't know what's going on.

Generating word and PDF documents

Creating document with content from a remote system

Any sample code that I have seen for creating a new document requires that the file (the content) of the document resides on the Server machine.
What is the best way to create a document with content that comes from a remote file?

The Java code which is trying to load a file into IFS must have access to the file to load it.
If the file you are trying to load is in a remote location from the Java code, then you would need to use some remote access protocol, such as NFS, to ensure the file was accessible to the Java code.

How to create a PDF document with page curls using Adobe CS 4?

My goal is to create a PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe CS 4.
1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign CS 4 where the page turn (curl) transition was applied.
2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro to create a PDF file with flip page or page curl transitions.
These are the problems.
1.      The background is not transparent.
2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's screen size. It increases the page margins.

PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

Help! How do I create a document with an imported PDF in 300dpi using a FOGRA27 colour profile?

I am a new Indesign user and I have been working with GIMP for the last year creating single colour print-ready PDFs. But now I need to create a document with a FOGRA27 CMYK colour profile and a resolution of at least
How do I create a document with an imported PDF in 300dpi using a FOGRA27 colour profile?
I can import the PDF by creating a new document and finding the PDF in places, but it's bad quality.
The only colour profile I can find under View - Proof Setup is FOGRA39, but I need FOGRA27!
Help help help, I need to get these files printed in two days!
Thanks so much..

Proof Colors doesn't change the file's color management, it just lets you see what the color values would look like if they are printed unchanged on different output devices. If you want to actually convert the color from one CMYK space to another, it's probably better to do that in Acrobat—Tools>Print Production>Convert Colors.
There's very little difference between Fogra27 and Fogra39—Fogra27 allows more total ink 350 vs. 330.
There's nothing you can do to improve the quality of low res images

Creating a PDF document with visible bookmarks

Hi.
I'm using VB to create a PDF document with bookmarks. I have no problem with this part.
What I want to do, though, is to program the document so that the bookmarks pane is visible when I open the document.
Any ideas?
All Best,
Ethan

I found the answer in the Interapplication Communication API Reference:
Dim SetPageMode as Boolean = PDDoc.SetPageMode(nPageMode),
where nPageMode has the possible values:
0: leave the view mode as is
1: display without bookmarks or thumbnails
2: display using thumbnails
3: display using bookmarks

Hi there, I currently subscribe to Adobe Pro Subscription (yearly) and I also subscribe to Adobe PDF pack (monthly). I only require Adobe to read and create PDF documents such as converting word/excel document or a web based document. Can someone tell me if I'm doubling up as I'm not sure of the differences between the products and would like to save a few dollars.

Acrobat Pro can do a lot more than the PDF Pack online service.
Try if you can do everything you need with PDF Pack; otherwise keep Acrobat Pro.

Problem in printing pdf document with java code

Hi All
I want to print a pdf document with java code i have used PDFRenderer.jar to compile my code.
Code:
File f = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/123/Desktop/1241422767.pdf");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
ByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size());
PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(bb); // Create PDF Print Page
PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
// Create Print Job
PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
pjob.setJobName(f.getName());
Book book = new Book();
book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
pjob.setPageable(book);
// System.out.println(pjob.getPrintService());
// Send print job to default printer
pjob.print();
but when i am running my program i am getting error
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.print.PrinterException: Invalid name of PrintService.
Please anybody, knows the solution for this error?
Thanks In Advance
Indira

It seems that either there is no default printer setup or you have too many printers or no printer setup at all. Try running the following code. It should print the list of available print services.
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.*;
public class PrintServiceNames{
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
          PrintService[] printServices = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
          int i;
          for (i = 0; i < printServices.length; i++) {
               System.out.println("P: " + printServices);
}From the list pick one of the print service names and set it explicitly like "printerJob.setPrintService(printServices);" and then try running the program.

Problems in Windows 8 creating PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

I am running Windows 8 with the latest version of MS Office (version 14) and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.5. I was not having any problems making/printing PDF documents until about 30 days ago. The only things that I can think of that have changed during this time period is 1) I updated my Office Suite to version 14 from the previous version and, most recently, 2) my Adobe Acrobat Reader program was automatically updated to the latest version. I ended-up uninstalled Adobe Reader becuase the new program became my default for openning all Adobe PDF files, even when I tried to force my computer to use Adobe Acrobat Pro as the default (becuase doing so allows me to edit docments with features not available in the free Reader version). When I go to print a Word document, for example, to Adobe Acrobat, the process stalls/stops at the point where you are supposed to choose a location to print/safe the new PDF document file. All I get is the Save-As Screen with most of the buttons and folder tree blank (see example below). After 5-10 seconds, "not responding" shows up in the title of the Save-As Screen and I have to click the "X" box in the upper right corner to abort. This problem seems to have first started when trying to print pictures from the Windows picture viewer. After a while long, I noticed that the same problem occured when printing from my internet browser (Firefox), but I coudl still print from Word or Excel. Now, as of the last couple of days, I can't print from any program except the basic Paint software program. I think this may actually be a Windows issue because when trying to toublshoot this problem, I re-installed Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not help. I also tried making PDF documents using the free PrimoPDF software and had the exact same problem. I have no idea where to go from here. All I know is that I desperately need to create PDF documents and cannot! Please help!!

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Can't open PDF documents with Adobe

Every time I try to open up a PDF with Adobe the error message
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
We've tried reinstalling and can't figure out what the problem is... Any ideas would be great!
