Suppress Creation of PDF

Hello All,
Here is my problem: When I run a report on the web, the pdf is created before the report has finished running. Adobe will try to open the pdf, but will display the error "Error opening this document. File is damaged and can not be repaired" (something like that) I think the pdf is created after the After Parameter Form trigger. Is there any way to keep it from creating the pdf until after the report has completely run? Right now, if you have patience the report does eventually come back, but it is confusing to our users.
Thanks in advance,
Laura

Hi Laura
Could you throw light on what's going on? How are you invoking the report? Here is the command line for the report:
SERVER=rs_default DESTYPE=file BACKGROUND=YES DESNAME=\\WEBSERVER\WebTemp\TSRTemp\USERID_REPORT_ID.pdf desformat=pdf report=REPORT_ID.rdf userid=USER_ID p_title=''Live Production Packet'' p_user_name=USER_ID p_cplx=''JA'' p_time_period=WEEK cy_end=20020824 p_email_addr=EMAIL_ADDRESS JOBNAME=ODWORPACKET
What is it supposed to do?
This actually happens with all of our reports. It is a little more obvious in the one I am working on because it can have hundreds of pages.
Which version of Reports you are working on?
Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Thanks for you help,
Laura

Creation of PDF Document using ADF Table data in new window

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement of creating a pdf document from adf table and it must open in a new window.I know creation of pdf document using itext pdf jar.But in my case how to write the table data to pdf and how to open it in new window.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

In the TF do like this..
view activity A-------dialog:invokePdf------->view activity B (invokePdf)
Fragment A command button would be
<af:commandButton action="#{pageFlowScope.PdfBean.openPDF}"
text="Generate" id="cbpdf"
useWindow="true"
windowWidth="700" windowHeight="700"/>
in the action add a return like return "dialog:invokePdf";
Control flow outcome is "dialog:invokePdf". B would be just a empty fragment.

Where can i find full tutorials about creation of pdf document?

Please any body tell me that i need to learn about pdf document creation and editing.

Hi flbdpublisher,
Did you purchase a subscription to Acrobat Pro? (It sounds that way if you're paying monthly.) If so, you just need to sign in to your account at https://www.cloud.acrobat.com and click Acrobat at the far right. Click Download Now to download and install Acrobat--that's where you will find the tools that you are looking for.
Please let us know if you need additional help.

Creation of pdf-files from a VBA programming of a database application

In a kind of form letter practice through a modular programming in Microsoft Access individual invoices created as PDF files shall be sent as serial e-mails.
Example: After a seminar, for example 50 people shall receive individual invoices with invoice number and the respective address.
After creation we don’t want the pdf-documents to be displayed on the screen. It should be automatically transferred through our MS-Access-programming to Outlook for serial e-mails.
The functionality of the automation is positioned in a VBA module (Visual Basic for Application) of a MS Access form.
At this point Acrobat PDF should be controlled by MS-Access VBA programming (and not manually by the user).
To implement such an automatic, we need a documentation of the interfaces for the later in the text referred Acrobat objects, which can be addressed in the MS-Access VBA Programming.
References in Microsoft Access:
Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library
Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library
Acrobat Distiller
Objects according to Microsoft Access Object Browser:
AcroApp
AcroAVDoc
AcroAXDoc
AcrobatAccessLib
ACRODISTXLib
AcroHiliteList
AcroPDDoc
AcroPoint
AcroRect
AcroTime
Among the listed objects and their properties and methods, we need a comprehensive description.
Are there special *. DLL or *. chm or *. hlp - files
which can be addressed by MS-Access directly to automatically generate PDF files?

Google the following:
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\
I have done this using a Report I designed in MS Access, you basically print to the 'ADOBE PDF' printer. No need to use any of the References you listed.
I loop thru a recordset of Customer IDs and generate my reports. I do the Outlook piece after I have generated the pdf files.
My Access report has no RecordSet, it is set on the fly, using the following:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = sqlReport
End Sub
sample code:
sub genReports
Dim lRC
Dim sReg
Dim emailPath As String
Dim accessPath As String
Dim strKey As String
Dim rsCust As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsRecs As New ADODB.Recordset
       emailPath = currentproject.path & "\email\"
       accessPath = SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir)
       accessPath = accessPath & "MSACCESS.EXE"
       strKey = "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\"
        Set sReg = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
       'PrinterJobControl key
       lRC = sReg.CreateKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKey)
       'query to get Customer IDs
       rsCust.Open "qryReportCust", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic
       Do Until rsCust.EOF
        strCust =rsCust!CustID
        'sqlReport is a function that uses CustID as parameter
        rsRecs.Open sqlReport, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic
        If Not rsRecs.BOF Then
           lRC = sReg.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKey, _
                                     accessPath, emailPath & strCust & ".pdf")
            DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomerInvoice", acViewNormal
        End If
        rsRecs.Close
        Set rsRecs = Nothing
   rsCust.MoveNext
    Loop
   rsCust.Close
end sub

Creation of PDF Files

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I would like to utilize this program similar to a third party PDF Creator program that I have that is starting to experience issues. Does Adobe Acrobat 9 or subsequent versions allow for the creation of a PDF file by combining print jobs into one file before creating the actual file? I know you can create individual files from each of the sources (Word, Excel, etc.) and then merge but that is more work than is needed. Would just like to combine print jobs and then save as one file.

Steve's method is probably the best. There are ways to use Distiller to combine print jobs. I think it required creating customized postscript startup files, but it has been ages since I have seen any posts on how to do this. [Probably going back to Acrobat 3 or 4]. Aandi Inston who used to participate regularly would have been able to tell you how to do this in a flash [no pun intended].
Combining PDFs is the easiest way to do what you want. You could probably create a script that would combine all of the pdfs sitting in a folder if that would make things easier.

Creation of PDF in SAP per Vendor - Remitance Advice

Hello Everybody,
We have come up with a requirement.
We are sending the remittance advice automatically to vendors once the payment run is executed via transaction F110.
The remittance advice will also be saved on the desktop of the user in PDF format, so that in future if the remittance advice is not delivered to the vendor then the user can send a copy to the vendor.
A spool will be created after F110 is executed. With the spool number we can convert the forms into PDF.
Now the issue is Only one PDF document is created for one spool. One spool will have the advices created for multiple vendors. We requrie one PDF document per vendor. That is each vendor should have different PDF document.
Let us know you views on this .
Regards,
MG

Did you develop a custom program to output the file on to the users computer? If so you may be able to modify it. I'm familiar with the standard program that will let you e-mail the PDF but didn't realize it would save it to the local machine, especially as it's run as part of a background job and would have thought it would drop it on the application server.
That said depending on the number of vendors you have saving one PDF per vendor I think would be more of a pain. We for example pay 1,000s of vendors a week so looking through the files, even it it were somehow named intelligently (vendor #, payment date, etc.) may take some time. There are 3rd party apps that let you print to a PDF or modify an existing PDF.
For example CutePDF allows you to print a document and save it to a PDF. What I'm thinking is just open the large file that contains all of the vendor remittances, search on the vendor #, and then print the pages you need to a PDF file which can be e-mailed. Or use some PDF modify/creation program to just save the pages you want to a new file and e-mail that out. May be less clunky than CutePDF but I don't have an app like that installed. Not exactly what you asked for I know but a possible solution.
Good luck.

Server side creation of pdf files for users

Im looking for a way for users of my website to save their data as a .pdf file on their hard drive. I want to be able to do this seemlessly for them on my end and not require them to have a client-side .pdf creator like PrimoPdf of something similar.
Is there a way to do server-side pdf file creation for my users?
Thanks!
PS: This is a Java website and a linux server.

You could utilize Apche FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) project for that purpose.
In my company we've used that to convert IBM Lotus Notes documents into PDF via some XML/XSL intermediate layer.
On the other hand - while in theory you could run Acrobat Pro on your server in embedded mode and call that server via some layer even from Java clients - I think that is not allowed by Adobe Acrobat Pro license. If you could run it embedded on your server - then you could try to prepare your specific plugins for it with Acrobat SDK and then you'll achieve what you need in required PDF creation.

Creation of pdf's Application server Forms&Reports services v9.0.4

When generating pdf documents using the reports server, is there anyway control the margins? All of my reports generated with a destination format of pdf have no left margin. This ok for some reports, but if I want to use a pdf with a pre-printed form, I need to specify a left margin.

hello,
margins are controlled by your report layout. in the report builder, while in the paper layout view of the report in question, click on the "Margin" button on the toolbar and you will see where you layout area is in respect to the overall page. it might be that your left edge of the layout area has been moved all the way to the edge of the physical page during report design.
thanks,
ph.

Dynamic creation of PDF forms

I'm looking for possible ways to dynamically create PDF forms (not necessarily interactive):
Scenario:
An unknown number of text elements has to be placed on an unknown number of pages. These elements may come with positional and format attributes as part of the context data (and/or have positional data calculated as server side form script using JavaScript).
Question:
How do I create these elements dynamically?
Is it possible to add/delete elements (text elements, pages, content areas, ...) of the form using the XML Object Model in server side scripts?
What ways are there to maybe access the Adobe Document Services directly to submit the data and positional information (without having to create a "dummy" form which would contain the scripts to add all the required elements)?
I hope that I described my problem understandable, and that you can provide me with some helpful information, be it a different concept, parts of a solution or just links to helpful documents or infos.
Thanks,
Max

No, we do not support passing values into the form like that.

Creation of PDF with different page sizes

I am generating PDF using Acrobat Distiller from my application from the .ps file. From one machine, the PDF is generated with different page sizes.one page with 8.5*12.99 and other pages with 8.5*11 in the same PDF. However the PDF is created with correct page sizes for all the pages in another machine. The only difference between the machines is the Internet Explorer version. I am using Internet explorere 11.0 and the other machine have a version of 8.0 installed.
Why the difference in page size occured? Is there any dependency on the Internet explorer used while creating the PDF using Distiller? Any help for the issue with the discrepancy in the page sizes is really appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat Distiller uses the page size in the PS file. May be a problem of your application which create the PS file.

Creation of pdf - which product / products do i need

I am getting a little confused so would like some help.
I want to create an editable pdf which can be filled in by a user on a mobile device. I then want the pdf file created to be automatically emailed to an email address.
I need to be able to set some information in the pdf document programmatically before it is sent AND i would like to name the pdf document.
By way of an example the form will be a job sheet and i want to autofill the job number from another system. When the form has been completed i want it to be called job number.pdf
I assume that this is all doable? If so what product / products do i need and can someone point me in the right direction with regards the job number bit.......
thanks in advance

Complicated...
I want to create an editable pdf which can be filled in by a user on a mobile device. I then want the pdf file created to be automatically emailed to an email address.
Only a small number of mobile apps have PDF forms support, and none can 'automatically' send the current file as an email attachment. The user would have to choose to open their email app, attach the file and compose a message.
I need to be able to set some information in the pdf document programmatically... from another system.
What 'other system'? Injecting data into a pre-existing PDF file is possible, but how you do it very much depends on where the data is coming from.

Creation of PDF from Excel 2013 - problem with black color

Hi,
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
In past I used Adobe printer and it works fine with Excel 2000 and 2010 (only these two versions I used in past) Now I switched to Excel 2013 and when I use Adobe printer to print crosswords into PDF problem occurs with lines done in Excel (insert - shapes - line). I use black color for these lines but in PDF they appears as rich black (TIC 300%). Why it is not 100% black? I know that Excel works in RGB but in past I was always able to change settings in printer profiles (Adobe printer) to reach 100 % black without CMY colors. Now I have no idea. I attached picture of pdf how it looks in Adobe Acrobat in Outpur preview.
Thank you in advance for any advice

These are tough issues I suspect and the answer you need is probably trivial (it is finding it). I will make some suggestions, but I have no idea if any will work.
- In the printer under the Properties>Layout>Advanced>print quality, I use 300 dpi (default is 1200).
- Under the printer preferences>settings>edit the settings file, I use again 300 dpi (default is 1200 dpi).
These may not fix your issue, but migth be worth a try. You could also try using the preflight script to change to gray-scale. It may not make any changes, but again may be worth a try.
All I am trying to suggest are the things I would be looking at. Maybe they will lead you someplace. Others may be by with better suggestions in time.

Adobe Forms Object Creation in PDF document dynamically

I have the following scenario: I have database of questions and answers, i need to build a webdynpro application that generates a PDF document with the content of this database, but in a dynamically way, for example i have one question like "What is the best color in your opinion?" and four answers like "Yellow, Red, Blue, Gray", i need to take all the questions and the answers from the database and build the PDF form. What are your recommendations for these case? Is there a way to generate a Topic and for these topic 4 checkboxes in a dynamically way?
All these data come from ECC.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Bruno,
You can add or remove subform instances dynamically from your form.
BodyPage1.Subform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
Create one subform, that has 4 RadioButtons and 4 InputFields, bind the inputfield with the options.
Hope this helps,
Amit

Batching pdf creation from printing to adobe print device

Hi All,
I have a unique problem. We generate reports from our in house software. We were using an open source product called PDFCREATOR. That software would allow you to print to its icon under Printer and Faxes (in windows control panel) and you could delay the creation of PDF file. I could batch, say 3 printed reports to their 'batch monitor" and when I was done, I could create all 3 and then consolidate them into 1 PDF. Does Acrobat Professional offer a function like this? Ive done some research but can not find a similar funciton.
Thanks,
Kevin.

Not directly, no - the Distiller virtual printer has no spooling capability but you can of course print a series of individual PDF files into a folder, then combine them into a single document using Acrobat - either using the right-click menu in Windows Explorer "Combine supported files in Acrobat" or the button on the Acrobat toolbar itself.
