Source of PDF SDK examples and documentation.

I am creating PDF documents from scratch using the Adobe PDF SDK using the "Acrobat and PDF Library API Reference" but find it's lack of examples and detail frustrating. Is there any addition documentation or third-party books that would be helpful?

It appears most of the examples relate to creating plugins rather generating new PDF as I am doing. For example I also wish the use the PDEPatternCreate library function. A text search of the V8 and V9 SDK reveals only a few references in header files. No actual examples on how to construct the raw CosObjP which I assume must be based on the format from the PDF language specification. I can't see any practical examples on how to create such objects. I always find example code is a great learning tool because you can see functions and structures used in context with each other and thus more easily understand how they fit together.

Yes, you can use the Acrobat SDK and/or the Adobe PDFLibrary for this purpose.

FileShare SDK example and FileShare Pod

Hello CocoWorld,
I am after a pod just like fileShare except for the User
interface which needs to be internationalise (in french).
That is where i naturaly looked at the FileShare model used
in the SDK example.
The problem i encountered is that the example gives me some
errors on uploading file, it starts by updating its size then an
error is thrown.
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2038: File I/O

However the FileShare pod works perfectly.
Is the example faulty somehow ?
Any other way to use FileShare pod with a custom gui ?
Thanks again.

nothing
when i click in my button , there is nothing , why ?

Program examples and documentation SBO 2004

Hello to everybody!
I have to upgrade my addons from release 6.5 to 2004.
I've looking for the documentation and I have found something in the Solution Development area of the SDN portal and the help libreries in Service & Support.
Is there any other documentation?
Besides where are the example programs for the release 2004?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Veronica

Hi Veronica,
You need to download the 2004 help files/documentation from the Service Marketplace. I'm not sure why they're not available in this SDN website as the documentation is available for the 6.5 version. There are some example programs in C:\Program Files\SAP Manage\SAP Business One SDK\Samples (or similar).

3D PDF JavaScript Examples and Tutorials

I am having trouble finding good resources on the web for 3D PDF and Javascripting. I am particularly interested in finding a good set of javascript examples that I can get ideas and code snippets from. It would be even better if those examples were associated with some tutorials. I found this site on Adobe Developer Connection: JavaScript for Acrobat 3D. There is a link for a zip file containing JavaScript samples but it is no longer available. Is there somewhere else I can get this file? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, nobody updated the link for the ZIP file when it moved servers - it's at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/webseminars/3DFiles.zip
I also suggest going through the tutorials and videos at AUC.

You can get the JAVA files source code from the <drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server1\apps\sap.com\crm~b2b directory, you should be able to find the src.zip file which contains the source code for the Action & Business object files.
You can access the JSP files from the <drive>\usr\sap\CD5\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\cluster\server1\apps\sap.com\crm~b2b\servlet_jsp\b2b\root
OR
You can import through NWDI into your NWDS.

I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss. When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version. How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

Hi heathers,
You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

Printing multiple sizes from a PDF - Choose page source by PDF page size is set

I've tried this in both Reader 7 and 8.1. What I am experiencing is this:
A user is printing a document which has both legal and letter sized pages. I have selected Choose page source by PDF page size when printing. The document will print all pages based on the first page. If I print just one page, it will print correctly.

The expected behavior would be to print each page on paper according to its page size. For example, if there is a PDF file with five pages, page one and two are letter size, page three is legal, and page four and five are letter. When I print all pages, the entire set prints as letter. Page three should print on legal. If I print just page three alone, it will print on legal.

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?

Is it possible to extract the contents of any PDF file using Adobe PDF SDK?
For Example: There is one pdf file. Let us say xxx.pdf with 32 pages. I am interested in only in a topic present at 10th page. Can I extract this information and save it into another pdf file (means new pdf file)?

Thanks Irosenth,
I am actually interested in extract the page and create a new PDF with that page. But still there is a catch that on which basis the page needs to extract either on PAGE number OR on Bookmark basis.
But here in this scenario assume I am looking for the PDF file, now I want to save only page 5. How can I extract page 5 automatically/programmatuically? Or in simple word how can I get the reference link of page 5?
Here I am not getting clear picture that Do I need both SDK Adobe & Acrobat to achieve this requirement. And more over you have mentioned that SDK itself is free. But on Adobe side it is mentioned that it is available by license only with this I have another doubt: To work my desktop/system application with Adobe PDF library, this library needs to distribute with the application. So in this case will it be chargeable for each and every deployment.
Could you please provide me the link from where I can download the SDK? So that I can do some excerise with SDK to figure out the exact flow of functionality to work with my application.

PDF Report generation and email it from a DB trigger

Dear all
Is it possible to run a report in PDF format ad email it to some clients after a specific envent through Database Trigger. For example whenever a client makes an entry into order entry table (through entry form), a trigger should execute on Orders table, this trigger should execute or generate a PDF formatted report and finally mail it to Sales team?
I'm using Oracle Database 10g. Rel.2 on Windows-XP.

kamranpathan wrote:

A trigger is fired when? During the transaction. The transaction still is not committed and can be rolled back. So if you start doing notifications and what not in the trigger, and the transaction is rolled back, then that transaction never happened. But your notification code did. And the users have been informed incorrectly - about something that did not happen.
The same trigger can also be fired in the same transaction for the same row - more than once. This can happen in specific circumstances in Oracle, where basically Oracle itself does an undo of the transaction (trigger already fired) and then redo that transaction (trigger fire again).
So in such a case, your trigger will generate two notifications from the same trigger for the same event. Inside a transaction that still could be rolled back by the session owner.
The correct approach is not to perform the action in the trigger. It is to queue the action to be executed when the transaction is committed.
For example, the trigger is on the PRODUCTS table. When a new product is added, a notification needs to be send to customers that have selected to be informed of new product releases.
The first step is to write a package that performs this notification. The procedure that drives the notification processing, gets a product identifier as input and does the checks and notification.
After this package has been tested, it is implemented indirectly via a trigger on the PRODUCTS table. Instead of the trigger directly calling this package, the trigger needs to queue an action that will execute the notification package when the transaction is committed.
This can be done using DBMS_JOB. In the trigger, a job is submitted to execute that notification package for the current product ID. The job submission is part of the existing transaction. If the transaction is rolled back, so is the job and it is removed from the job queue. If the transaction is committed, the job is also committed to the job queue and executed.

Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Anybody out there?

To store PDF into BLOB and retrieve into OLE/OCX

We would like to:
1. Store a PDF file (output of a report saved in file server) into a BLOB
column.
2. Retrieve previously stored PDF in the BLOB column and display using either
OLE automation or ActiveX (OCX) control.
I read all related documents in metalink that addresses this issue however cant
get this to work. We have Acrobat Reader 4.0. Here are some issues from the
tests that I did:
1. To load the PDF file the program code that uses BFILE and LOADFROMFILE does
not work since the database is on a remote server and the PDF file is on a
local file server. The DIRECTORY created on the database is unable to find the
PDF file.
2. Though I want the loading of the file to be programmatic, I tried
right-click on the OLE container and inserted object from file. This loaded the
file into the container (Icon on the container appeared) however I was not able
to view the document by double-clicking. An error in Adobe occured: 'There was
an error opening this document. A file read error occured'. My guess is the
'Insert Object' did not insert the file properly into the BLOB.
3. When trying to display the PDF file stored in file server (in case storing
into BLOB does not work), I used an OCX control, right-clicked and Insert
Object and select Adobe Control for ActiveX. The problem here is when I run the
form, the OCX control shows up empty and I have to 'Insert Object' again in
runtime. Once I manually insert object from runtime the GET_INTERFACE POINTER &
SET_PROPERTY works fine is displaying the document. Is there any way to
maintain the control property of the OCX when the form is run?
4. Are there any workarounds and better solution to store PDFs into BLOBs and
retrieve and display in OLE/OCX controls? Using temporary file into local drive
is not an issue.
5. Would I be able to make use of 'PDF.PdfCtrl.1' OLE class?
6. Does OLE automation work for Acrobat Reader 4.0.?
I would appreciate all the help.
Shyam

Im facing a similar kind of problem. I want to store and retrieve Office files, PDF and Jpegs into/from the database to view them on web in disconnected mode. Please reply as I cant find any help/documentation regarding saving BLOB data into files. I was able to store file data into BLOB, using DBMS_LOB package.

Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

Hello,
I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
Thanks!

If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

Do you not get any options after you have selected print
then select Print using System dialogue
which then opend another box , where I select Layout
and can select how I want the document printed.
As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes
