To export contents of a DataGrid to a PDF file.

Hi All,
I'm having a mx:DataGrid component that has some 6 columns
and around 150 rows. I need to add a feature wherein a user with
the click of a button should be able to see the contents of that
DataGrid in a PDF file and do operations like save, print etc on
that file.
Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
There are server side and client side PDF generation tools
available.
Check out iText (server side):
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
Check out AlivePDF (Client side PDF generation):
http://alivepdf.bytearray.org/
That being said, if your aim is only getting the datagrid
printed, check out PrintDataGrid:

Is it possible to export the page activity report to a pdf file?

Is it possible to export the page activity report to a pdf file？and is there any api or samples to be reference

Do you mean audit history? One method would be similar to the following sample that you could extend to create a PDF from the data returned:
http://www.eyelock.net/blog/archives/533
BUT the method used above via JCR Query is an implementation detail. For future proofing, you should use the ReplicationStatus status = page.adaptTo(ReplicationStatus.class in your code to get the audit logs for a particular page, rather than a straight JCR query.

How to Convert the content in BLOB field into a PDF file...

Hi,
I am having PDF files stored in BLOB column of a table in Oracle Database (11G R2).
I want to retrieve the files back and store them in hard disk. I am successful in storing the content as a file with '.doc' but if I store the file as '.pdf', adobe fails to open the file with error
Adobe Reader could not open file 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
I am using following example code to achieve my goal...

c clob;
buffer VARCHAR2(32767);
buffer_size CONSTANT BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
amount BINARY_INTEGER;
offset NUMBER(38);
file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

You can't convert binary data into character based data.
So very likely this is your problem.

How to resolve Content not allowed in prolog with PDF files

We are using PI 7.1 to read a file and using ASMA get the file name and pass it to a target mapping and call a web service with the file name.
We have a scenario that reads a PDF file as Binary form a folder. Our mapper uses ASMA to get the file name and folder of the
file to map to the target.
Testing in mapper works fine except for the ASMA does not function (known issue).
At runtime we drop a file and it is picked up as expected BUT from SXMB_MONI we see the following:
Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_FileNotification_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Content is not allowed in prolog.
This error does not happen all the time either. When it appears it is typically only the first time a file is mapped and on subsequent retries it processes normally. In dev we have shown that PI seems to get stuck on a few initial files u2013 process properly on the first retry and then at some point has no issues and will process files very fast.
u201CContent not allowed in prologu201D at least from an XML perspective is related to characters appearing before the xml file declaration:
<?xml version="1.0".encoding="UTF-8"?>
If chars appear before this you get this error in Java parsers. This could be related but we do not have control over how PI parsed the file content and puts into XML messages inside the mapper as we do nothing with the file content.
The same file will go through randomly with this exception on multiple drops. Sometimes it gets processed properly and sometime it doesnu2019t u2013 but in dev it u201Calwaysu201D gets processed properly on the automatic retry. It does not seem to matter what PDF we drop in there either.
Our tyoes look something like this:
Source:
DT_FILE - xsd:hexBinary
Target:
FilePath - xsd:String
I have tried with DT_FILE as xsd:base64Binary with the same results...
We use a UDF to get the file name from ASMA as follows:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key1);
String ourSourceDirName = conf.get(key2);
//conf.put(key1, ourSourceDirName + "/" + ourSourceFileName);
return ourSourceDirName + "
ToProcess
" + ourSourceFileName;

> Is using a custom adapter module the standard way to handle files when we do not want the content?
I would rather say this is a feasible solution
> If so does anyone have generic code that we can use for the purposes of simply monitoring a file and passing the file name/folder out implemented as modules already?
The questio is. What do you want to do with this information?
Here is a sample code written for a specific purpose, you can adapt this to your needs:

Corrupted content error when trying to download .pdf file from one website.

Unable to download .pdf file from a website, but IE8 provided the download without hesitation.
Both v7 and v8 produced the same message:
"Corrupted content error"
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.
This may be a particular website problem, or it may be common to the particular industry segment and their protocols.
I have followed the help leads and examined the profile for Firefox as used in this instance. Nothing untoward seemed to pop out as a causal factor.

Reworked some of the javascript for our webserver and fixed the problem.

Can i make copying of content impossible when converting word to pdf-file?

When i copy my signature (for hardcopies) onto a wordfile and i wish to make it impossible for others to retrieve it from the pdf file.
How can i realise this?

Hi frankv,
That isn't something that you can do during the conversion process. But, with Acrobat, you can apply security constraints to the file, which would prevent people who are viewing the PDF from copying the contents of the PDF. See Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords for more information. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try. You can download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Download the binary content of a table as a pdf file

Hi @all,
my function get some binary data in an internal table (structure TBL1024).
This function is called from a bsp. The content of the internal table needs to be possible to be downloaded as pdf.
There needs to appear a popup, with some file information (name,(pdf) type) and buttons, where you can chose whether to download or to open the file.
How is it possible to show the download popup and to download the file as pdf?
Thanks,

Exporting Mark-Ups and Comments from a PDF file

Hello,
I know there are several options for exporting comments associated with highlighted text in Adobe Acrobat Standard, but is there a way to export both the comment AND the marked up text all together?
Thank you.

The built-in Summarize Comments tool in Acrobat only uses the text in the comment itself, so if you've made a bunch of comments without enabling the setting mentioned above, you're screwed... Well, almost.
I've developed a tool that allows you to retroactively copy the highlighted text back into the comment, while preserving any comments you might have made yourself.
See here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/04/acrobat-retroactively-copy-selected.html

Export of only a part of a PDF File!!

I need help to export my just transaction detail from the Visa Bill PDF that I just created to a excel spreadsheet. I have tried cut/copy and pasting & exporting tables to no avail. I need to have it formatted in the same fashion as the Excel spreadsheet, so the data fills in the right columns.
Can anyone point me in the right direction??? soon?

Have you tried the column copy? You can also copy and paste one column at a time holding the shift key as you select the column. Then simply copy and paste. (OK, it might be alt key, but the idea is the same)

I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality. I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big. ??????

I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file. After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality. What am I doing wrong. As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send. HELP! Please.

If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

Export raw excel dato to fill-able PDF

Hi Guys
Im new to the forum and this is my first thread - I really hope you can help me (sorry for my english, its been a while since i've been using it).
I would like to be able to export raw data from Excel to a PDF file, which is fill-able / editable.
1) Lets say that my Excel file looks as follows:
A1     =     Title of project
A2     =     Adobe Acrobat project
A3     =     Adobe Reader project
A4     =     Adobe Photoshop project
B1     =     Idea behind the project
B2     =     The idea behind the project is to analyse, if Adobe Acrobat is a useable program.
B3     =     etc.
B4     =     etc.
2) And I have a .PDF file thats like this:
Text "Title of project:" And a textbox which can be filled out (the fill-able box is called "Title of project" in preferences)
Text "Idea behind the project" And a textbox which can be filled out (the fill-able box is called "Idea behind the project" in preferences)
3) How can I get the data from A2 into the .PDF files "Title of project" and the data from B2 into the .PDF files "Idea behind the project"
I have tried to save the Excel file as .CSV and .TXT and import it into the .PDF, but get an error doing so.
I just need the basic understanding, so I can start develooment from there.

Have you read the documentation on importing/exporting text to and from a PDF?
You need to arrange the data like a database table. The top row is the column name and corresponds to the Acrobat field name, then the next line is the first line of data and each following line is the next data record.

Hi,
Add Configuration Variable MaxArchiveErrorsAllowed=500 at config.cfg file and restart content server, try to export your archiver.
If you still getting same error message like "to many errors" then increase value 500 to 1000.
Thanks,
