Url line in PDF using CONVERT_OTF

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible give a url link to one of column in the main data in the pdf converted file
using COVERT_OTF. Ex I have converted the invoice to pdf file using convert_otf and
when the user open pdf file, there should be link in the one of column say product.
Is it possible, please let me know. Or can I convert smart form into html (similar look as pdf)
and have a above said link?
Regards,
Harsha

I need to display the url dynamically i.e combination of 2 to 3 variables as url and that should not
get displayed , only when user clicks on the invoice date, it should take them to then url.
Hope u r getting my point.
Regards,
Harsha

How do I copy the URL of a PDF file that I have opened in FireFox using FoxIt Reader add-on?

This does NOT seem to be a FoxIt question because, when I use FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in Internet Explorer 8, I do not have this problem. I have encountered the problem only when using FoxIt 5.0 as my PDF reader in FireFox 4.0. The problem is quite annoying. I NEED to capture the URLs of the PDFs I view and I prefer to use FireFox as my browser. The problem exists because no destination field is displayed when FoxIt opens in FireFox. A destination field IS displayed when FoxIt opens in IE.

Another option for sending large files is to use :
http://www.filedropper.com/
You upload the files to the website and it creates
a URL that you can copy and paste into an email
which you send to the recipient and they use the
generated link to get the file.

How to read line number text from PDF using plugin?

Hi, I would like to know how to read line number text from PDF using plugin?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, some background reading of the PDF Reference will help you understand why this is so difficult. PDF files are not organised into lines. It is best to think of each word or character on the page as being a graphic with its own position. The human eye sees lines where a series of graphics (words) are roughly in the same horizontal region.
In the general case it is difficult or even impossible to answer this. You may have columns with different spacing (but the PDF stores no information on what is a column). You may have subscripts and superscripts. You may have text in graphics coinciding with other text. Commonly, there may be titles, headings or page numbers which are just ordinary text and might count as lines.
That said, what you need to do is extract the text on the page and its positions. The WordFinder APIs are the way to do that. Now, sort all the words out, using the Y coordinates and size to try and guess what makes a "line". Now you are in a position to find the text (divided into words, not strings) and report the "line number" you have estimated.

Can I convert Word 2003 to PDF using Command Line

Hello All,
We have a document generation tool which generates documents in Word 2003 format. The document generation is initiated by the user and the process of generating document is on a remote server. The word file is sent back to the user in word format.
We would like to convert this doc file to PDF/A format. And we would like to do it programatically, may be using command line arguments. Is it possible?
Realistically, it is not possible that all the users will have Adobe writer installed in their desktops. In this case, it is possible that Adobe writer is installed in a server and the documents can be converted remotely using command lines?
Your support on this will be very helpful for us.
Thanks & Regards

I am getting the following errow when I try converting web page to PDF using Acrobat 8 on IE 9 on Vista. This worked previously but it appears that a recent update to Acrobat caused issues with this functionality.

PDFs Using Formatting Objects Processor

I'm having problems rendering pdf documents using FOP as detailed in your document 'Rendering Oracle HTML DB Reports as PDFs Using Formatting Objects Processor'.
When I call the pdf_GrabXML to send the XML report output to the htmldb_fop_render.jsp file I get the following error:
OracleJSP: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException:
Errors compiling:/opt/oracle/midtier/9.0.4/j2ee/home/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/persistence/_pages//_htmldb__fop__render.java

96 [jsp src:line #:47] cannot resolve symbol symbol : variable Driver location: class htmldb_fop__render driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
NOTE:
We did not have a oc4j directory under $ORACLE_HOME. We have, therefore, placed htmldb_fob_render.jsp and htmldb_example.xslt in the following directory: $ORACLE_HOME/2jee/home/default-web-app. The var g_Render_URL in javascript file (htmldb_pdf.js) was modified to http://<host name>:<port>/j2ee/htmldb_fop_render.jsp.

Kris,
I placed the three jar files into the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib directory (recall that I don't have a oc4j directory) and I changed the library entries in the application.xml file to point to this directory. The htmldb_pdf.js now seems to find the jar files but I now get an error that indicates I'm not able to make a connection:

QUESTIONS:
1. Should I place all jar files in the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib directory . . . there are several jar files that are not referenced in the application.xml file.
2. Should the port number that is defined in the htmldb_pdf.js and htmldb_fop_render.jsp files be the HTTP Server Listener port.
Thanks,

Serving PDF using IE

NOTE: This is not a question but rather a thread for solutions to this problem. I hope that someone who is having this same problem in the future can find this information useful. If you have a solution you would like to share then post it here.
I have been having the same problem that many have been having with generating PDF files and returning to IE client. I have read through the many suggestions on how to do this using Java here in these forums and on the web and never really found a direct solution to my problem.
The basic advice that I have seen pretty much everywhere holds true. You must set the content type and the content length without exception. Some say you need to set the content disposition but I have not seen the need for this--it may only apply in special situations I have not yet encountered.
The problem I had was trying to serve PDFs using a struts based framework. This required my URL to look something like (http://localhost/app/report/view.do?jobId=1234567890), where /report/view mapped to an action and jobId was the report job identifier. Using the classic code below in a Struts Action fails miserably to view or save the generated PDF with an error indicating IE failed to communicate with the server.
// load pdfbytes here
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(pdfbytes.length);
ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
ouputStream.write(pdfbytes, 0, pdfbytes.length);
ouputStream.flush();
ouputStream.close();I tried many variations with the response such as changing the buffer size, setting content disposition, changing Acrobat preferences among others and nothing worked.
During my search on the web I found an article that indicated IE violates HTTP in that it defines it's own way for determining the content of a URL rather than using the response header. I believe Microsoft's web site says this is by design and not a flaw. The article also indicated that the workaround was to use Microsoft extensions. (I cannot find the article again, if I could I would post a link to it).
With this new information in hand I decided to create a test servlet that would serve an existing PDF from the local file system. The following are snippets from web.xml and the PdfReportViewServlet:
<servlet>
   <servlet-name>pdf</servlet-name>
   <display-name>PDF Report View Servlet</display-name>
   <description>Used to serve PDF reports to client once they are completed running.</description>
   <servlet-class>report.PdfReportViewServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>pdf</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>*.pdf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
public class PdfReportViewServlet extends HttpServlet {
   public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
   throws IOException, ServletException {
      // Read in PDF test file
      File l_file = new File("c:/temp/test.pdf");
      FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(l_file);
      int length = in.available();
      byte[] pdfbytes = new byte[length];
      in.read(pdfbytes);
      in.close();
      // Send response
      response.setContentType("application/pdf");
      response.setContentLength(pdfbytes.length);
      ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
      ouputStream.write(pdfbytes, 0, pdfbytes.length);
      ouputStream.flush();
      ouputStream.close();
}Basically anything ending in "pdf" will be handled by the servlet. After deploying this code to Tomcat and typing in a test URL like (http://localhost/APP/test.pdf) it works!
I then decided to see what would happen if I changed the PDF extension from "pdf" to something else to determine if IE was using the "pdf" extension in the URI or using the content type to determine the true content (At least to prove it in my mind). I changed the following in web.xml:
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>pdf</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>*.rpt</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>     Now the servlet will handle anything ending in "rpt" but will still return PDF content. The result was a bunch of gibberish that was the PDF file converted into text and displayed in IE. IE must be using the file extension in the URI to identify the content type.
Just for fun I decided to try not setting the content length to see what would happen. I reverted the web.xml file back to map to "*.pdf" and commented out the line to set content length:
      // Send response
      response.setContentType("application/pdf");
      // response.setContentLength(pdfbytes.length);
      ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
      ouputStream.write(pdfbytes, 0, pdfbytes.length);
      ouputStream.flush();
      ouputStream.close();The darn thing worked! So I guess IE doesn't care about content length.
Hmmmm, do I even need to set the content type? I commented out the line to set content type and.....
it worked!
So my new servlet code looks like this and works fine:
      // Send response
      ServletOutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
      ouputStream.write(pdfbytes, 0, pdfbytes.length);
      ouputStream.flush();
      ouputStream.close();Of course in my production code I will be setting content type and length because other browsers that correctly implement HTTP will require it unlike IE, at least I think they require it until future testing proves otherwise.
In conclusion, it seems that IE uses the URI to determine the content type rather than using the response header. So if you want IE to correctly recognize the content type of any target you better use the approriate extension in the URI rather than depend on the response header content type.
BTW: I was using Tomcat 5.0.14, IE 6 SP1, Win2k Pro SP4, and Acrobat 6. I have not tested this using different configurations. When I have the time I will try and perform more extensive testing.

That's great. Now try doing a POST to your URL and see if IE still likes it. Or use HTTPS. Or both POST and HTTPS. Or use GET with a really long URL and watch IE crash (This one is probably a buffer overrun). Then try those various combinations on different versions of IE with all the various patches, etc. I've given up and I just tell people to download Firefox.

Can text in the URL line be enlarged?

I was trying to show an elderly man how to use Safari at a local Apple Store.
When he complained that he was having trouble reading the text in the URL line because it was too small (a problem he said he does not have when using IE on a PC at a local public library), I tried to enlarge it using standard OS X 'zoom' techniques. These didn't work. After consulting a number of Apple Store employees who tried various methods (including changing screen resolution), no solution could be found.
Is there no way to change the size of text in the URL line?
Thanks.

Did you try using the Zoom feature found under System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, or were you relying solely on Safari's own View menu > Zoom In? You might have better results using the Universal Access feature.
After turning on Zoom under Universal Access > Seeing, use the keyboard shortcuts indicated in order to enlarge everything on your screen -- including the text within the address field. Also, if you're using a mouse with a scroll wheel, try scrolling forward and back while holding down your Control key. This works for me. Good luck.

Links (urls) inside a pdf document are not enabled by the New firefox pdf preview feature but are in Chrome & IE

The new pdf preview feature in firefox desktop does NOT seem to activate any links (urls) inside the pdf meaning they are no longer clickable.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem.
I send out product information using pdf's with clickable links inside (as do lots of businesses) and this loss of clickable links functionality is a problem.
I also tried the same pdf files in IE and Chrome and their inline pdf previews keep all links fully working.
I know the pdf preview in firefox can be deactivated and the adobe reader can be used instead but in reality lots of people won't know how to do this or won't be troubled to find out how and will just move on.
Does anyone know if this feature is going to be fixed or supported or is it a deliberate security feature.
Thanks.
JP.

Hey JPEdwards,
The PDF.js team is still hard at work on the built-in viewer. It looks like there is already a bug on file for this and they are aware of it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821599
Please don't post in the bug if you are just confirming that you've seen the problem too. That clutters the tickets ;)

Disappearing lines in PDF

Customer supplied me with a "print-ready" PDF and it's in my dropbox folder:
http://db.tt/xxI9Go4h
The map streets supposedly have lines adjacent to the names, but the PDF doesn't show them on my Mac, Acro Pro XI as well as Ily CS6 when I open the PDF.
She created the PDF using Ily CS4 and saved as PDF. Can't see the lines. I asked her to save as .eps... again the lines are 'disappearing.'
When I open her PDF using Ily CS6, I get an error message "An unknown shading type was encountered." Not sure if this has anything to do with the 'disappearing' lines or what.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Larry’s probably right.
Always make a point of using Overprint Preview before sending Illie stuff to print or making pdfs.
The ability to set process white to overprint has caused a lot of expensive mistakes.
This feature is basically nonsense; process white means No Ink so it beats me how you can overprint with nothing :-)

Thin lines in pdf file

Hi all!
I have a question. The same problem in Illustrator CS6 (but it appears from a few version of CS back).
I have document in an Illustrator. The document is generally for print, I don't using them to making website, so without using Slice tool.
I need have separation pdf so first I print the document to postrscript usind pdf ppd. Always the same settings:
1. General - only media size
2. Marks and Bleed - none (i mean all off)
3. Output - mode: Separations (host-based), and rest like is: emulsion: Up, Image: Positive, Printer Resolution: 71lpi/600dpi
4. Graphic - none
5. Color Managment - none
6. Advanced - none
7. Summary - none
After printing I have a separation, pdf file. Always appears vertical and horizontal thin white lines, like document was preparing for website and sliced.
Why this happend? Can I use some settings to avoid this situation? I tried a various setting but the lines always appears.. Help!

It always was in a bitmap.
