not sure if they mention it, but xournal may also kind of work (annotates pdfs by turning them into an image, basically)

    You can copy the contents and paste it into a Word file. Just don't expect everything to transfer or to retain all of the formatting.

  • How to save dynamically generated PDF files with proper file name?

    Hi,
    I need to save the pdf file with default name which generated by
    dinamically.
    this is the code i am trying to save by default
    protected void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException
    OutputStream bos = response.getOutputStream ();
    // this returns pdf byte array
    byte  ios[]  = callReport ( reportId_param , fullyQualifiedReportClassName , paramHashMap ) ;
    response.setContentType ("application/pdf");
    // reportId_param and reportName_param supplied from some where
    String docName =  reportId_param + "_" + reportName_param ;
    if( fromDate_req != null && toDate_req != null )
                    String dateStr = fromDate_req + "_to_" + toDate_req ;
                    dateStr = dateStr.replaceAll ( "/" , "_" ) ;
                    docName = docName + "_" + dateStr ;
    // here docName would be like "RP_COM_COLL_01_Message_Details_03_09_2008_to_03_09_2008"
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=" + docName ) ;
    bos.write (ios);
    bos.flush ();
    }the above code produces pdf in browser when calling this URL
    http://localhost:8080/DAD01TN0801027/RWReportServlet
    In browser we can save this PDF by using two ways
    1. File -> Save As
    2. By using Save Icon within the PDF toolBar
    both the actions uses the file name "RWReportServlet" as default instead of using docName
    Can any one help me please
    Regards
    Sakthivel.

    That said, your code is not very efficient. You're storing the complete PDF file in memory. What if the PDF file is fairly large? And what if multiple users download multiple large PDF files simultaneously? Your server would run out of memory. Rather use InputStream instead of a raw byte[]. And preferably buffer it.
    You should also be setting the content-length header by the way.

  • How to save a Photoshop PDF file with fonts that can be detected in Acrobat?

    We created a PDF file using Photoshop CS5, for the purpose of using it as a watermark on documents.  We saved this file as Photoshop PDF file, but for some reason the fonts cannot be detected when the file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.
    We need it to be recognized by Acrobat so that we can easily add the watermark to documents on a regular basis.
    Right now, Acrobat cannot detect the fonts in this file -- even though it is a basic font like Arial -- so when we add the watermark to a document, the fonts in the watermark becomes very degraded in appearance.
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

    I've tried several settings when saving as a PDF, to try to produce a file with fonts that can be detected by Acrobat.  I tried the presets listed in guide: Photoshop Help | Saving PDF files
    But none have worked.
    I cannot use PNG because it is not one of the formats that Acrobat allows for a watermark.  And JPG doesn't work because I need transparency.

  • How to Combine Forms with .PDF files?

    Hello. Several employees at my company frequently generate reports which are then edited in Acrobat 7. Life was good in the days of Acrobat 5. Then something changed between Acrobat 5 and 6, making this virtually impossible.
    Then along came Acrobat 7. We rejoiced when we realized we could edit all but one table in Acrobat 7, and that one could be edited using ALCD 7. Now here's the rub:
    The tables are generated individually using Crystal Reports as the compiler. Separate .PDFs are generated for each table and edited in Acrobat or ALCD when necessary. When all editing is complete, the reports are compiled in one .PDF for printing/publication.
    The problem is that once we edit a table in Designer, it cannot then be merged with the other .PDFs.
    Is there anything we can do to get around this? Thanks!

    Hi Katherine,
    Unfortunately Designer creates an XFA PDF form, which is not inherently compatible with AcroPDF files. (Their internal structure is different.)
    You could try one or both of the following things and see if they work - I haven't the opportunity to test these just now myself, but this is what I would try..
    Option 1 - When saving the table in Designer, select save as type option of "Acrobat 6 compatible static PDF" option and try if this can be merged into the rest of the file.
    Option 2 - After completing all changes, see if you can set up a batch process in Acrobat professional to print the Design files back to AcroPDF format, and then merge into the bigger file.
    I hope this helps,
    Sanna

    anyway!
    Those who are in the dba group on the server can get at the data
    in any case.
    I just don't see the point in trying to do what you're asking - unless
    I've missed something?
    BTW, you haven't mentioned OS or db version (see .sig).
    Paul...
    lovely sethi--
    When asking database related questions, please give other posters
    some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
    Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
    The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.

    please do not top post and do try to trim your replies!

  • How to SAve changes with theGET_PREVIOUS & GET_NEXT

    I have a form that I like to make changes and go to the next record, I've used the built in Next & Previous Button, but those doesn't save, I get the Warning (Are you sure you want to leave this page without saving?) so I need to click on Apply Changes and that send me back to the previous page or (if I change the navigation) back to the same page and then I click Next.
    My question: Is there a way to do both at the same time, Commit the changes and GO to NEXT or PREVIOUS Page, with a single button?
    Thanks

    Yes, go to the Next (or Previous) button properties page and go to the URL Redirect section. Change it to "No Target", this will make it submit the page as usual instead of the warning popup.
    Open up the On Submit Before Computation Branch that is attached to the Next (and Previous) button and change its firing point to OnSubmit After Processing. Make sure that any unconditional branch on the page has the highest branch sequence (999) so it is evaluated last.
    Assuming you have a Automatic DML process (Process Row of ...) process on the page to save changes, remove any When Button Pressed condition from it and make it conditional upon the following PL/SQL expression
    :REQUEST in ('SAVE','CREATE','DELETE')
    OR :REQUEST LIKE 'GET_NEXT%'
    OR :REQUEST LIKE 'GET_PREV%'Hope this helps.

  • How to save a scanned pdf file that has been rotated?

    I scanned several pages of a book but I evidently did it upside-down.  I rotated the pages 90 degrees, twice, and then saved the document with a different name.  But when I open the new document, the pages are still upside-down.  How can I correct this so that I don't have to re-scan all the pages?

    Thank you. As it happens, I'm still running Acrobat 9, so the drop-down commands are a bit different:
    Document > Rotate Pages allows you to rotate selected pages.  It worked, and then when I saved the document and re-opened it, it was exactly as I wanted it! 
    What had not worked was using the Rotate Clockwise option after right-clicking on a page.  That allows the user to view the rotated document but not to save it in that view.
    Thanks again.
    Brian
