Using PDF's with Webcenter Imaging

Hey
We are installing an automated AP solution using WebCenter imaging and our client has dictated that invoices must be scanned to PDF to comply with State Govt requirements. However, this conflicts with our IPM build as we are using WebCenter Capture and it only inputs invoices in TIF format. We have told them that we can scan to TIF and output PDF using the ODC/OFR, or by converting them using IBR when the image hits WCC. The Record Manager is adamant though, and this conversation is ongoing.
In the meantime, I am trying to think laterally to find a technical solution. The only two ideas I have so far are:
1. Use Import Server to conver scanned PDF's to TIF before batching them up.
2. Use a third party solution to create a TIF copy of the PDF after scanning.
I'm not really happy with either idea, so I thought I'd seek the advice of the collective. Surely this must be a common-ish problem.
Cheers,
A

Hi Alec,
to be precise, ODC allows inputs (in a scan profile) of TIFF, JPEG, PCX, or BMP (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10316_01/capture/odcad.pdf page 11-4)
If you have images already in PDF (I guess it will be PDF/A with textual layer), the first question is: why you want to use Capture at all? Is it because you want to extract some metadata from the image? Maybe, you could, then, use OutsideIn to convert PDFs into XML (or plain text) and get your metadata from there. Afterwards, you would upload your PDF with obtained metadata directly to Imaging.
I also think that Import Server does not convert file format, but rather takes the file and adds in to a batch (for indexing/committing), so on condition that it can grab PDFs, you should be good to go with Import Server as such - it's been a while since I've done something with Import Server, so I'm not sure of all details. If you have an environment up and running, it should be easy to verify. Either way, Import and Scan are the only options to get inputs into batches, so if Import does not work for you, you can't use Capture anyway.
I hope that helps, Jiri

Using PDF creator with excel documents scanned

Hello,
I´m using for the first time PDF converter and it isn't working as I expected. I'm trying to convert to excel a scanned document (created in excel) but it doesn't recognize all the number, it lefts a lot of blanked lines, unconfigures everything!
Can anyone give me a help?
Thank you.

Ok. So after the pending status my problem will be solved? Will I be warned soon as my state changes?
Thank you.

How can I programatically identify PDF files with embedded images?

Our company has 27,266,949 .PDF files that we're planning to compress in order to save server space.
We don't want to compress any of the .PDF files that have embedded images as to not alter the image's state.
How can we programatically create a list to exclude from the compression process?

Ah, see told you we were new to this and no, my taxs already have enough digits to the balance.
Ok, so based on that, we should be able to use the preflighting tool to identify the PDF’s with images, factor them out, and then continue with lossless compression on the remaining balance.
That will give us the compression we need to save space, but also allow us to stand in the court of law (if the scenario was to ever occur) and proclaim that none of our medical images have ever been altered by compression.
Sound like a reasonable plan?

PDF annotation with link, image doesn't show, only in print or Google Chrome, not Adobe Reader main

We are creating PDF files with annotations, we are using the O2 Solutions PDF Library for C#. We used to create PDFStampAnnotations, but now we want to make the images clickable, to navigate to the URL belonging to the image.
Therefore, we are now using PDFLinkAnnotations, with a PDFImageAppearance.
We set the flags of the annotation to Print.
However, the annotation won't show in the PDF in Adobe Reader. It does show in the Google Chrome inline PDF viewer.
It also shows in the print preview window in Adobe Reader.
But it does not show in the normal view in Adobe Reader. What we do see is, when hovering over the rectangle that should contain our image, our mouse cursor becomes a hand and a tooltip with the link is displayed. If we click, everything works as expected. But we don't see an image!
What can we do about this? This is really annoying, as I don't have a clue why it won't work. Actually, to me, this looks like a bug in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?

How to use PDF files with links to other PDF Files

How to use a PDF file with links to other PDF files that have been transferred to the same folder

Are you using a mouse, or a trackpad on a laptop? Either way, your cursor is usually an arrow, right? And presumably it's working/moving MOST of the time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do anything?
For example, can you move the cursor arrow to the "Annotate" tool to click on it and go into Annotate mode? If so, can you click on the text tool? If so, does the cursor change to a crosshairs? At what point can you NOT move the cursor around the screen?

Photoshop crashes while using multiple windows with one image

Has anyone else encountered the following problem:
Photoshop CS4 crashes sooner or later when working with multiple windows with one image (window->arrange->new window for...).
I remember having same problem since CS2. Is this a bug in Photoshop or am I having a bad luck?
Technical specifics:
Ps CS4, iMac, 21.5, 10.6

Don't know. I haven't heard of other people having that problem.
Do you have a crash report I could look at?
Or have you attached your email to crash reports sent to Adobe and can you tell me the date on one of them?

PDF Report with BLOB image

I have a PDF report produced from APEX using BI Publisher. I also have up to 4 images stored in BLOB fields that I would like to include in the PDF report. I found a reference for how to do this with APEX 3.1 (using a blob2clobase64 function), however I am using APEX 3.0 and this does not seem to work with this version. Does anyone have an example of how I can achieve this with APEX 3.0 and BI Publisher? Thanks, Karen.

PDFs appear with fragmented images, metadata missing

Can anyone help with this one?
We use InDesign CS3 to create PDF 1.6's, directly from InDesign export. The metadata contained in the images on the layout normally are visible when you control click and select "show metadata" on the image in the resulting PDF with Acrobat's touch up object tools. Ocassionally, there is an unknown problem in the process where a given image will "fragment" -- when you click on it in the PDF, a frame surrounds only part of the image, and there's no "show metadata" choice to select. This is kiling us because we doconstruct those PDFs and put them into our long term archive, and the metadata is missing there!
Any help would be appreicated!
Thanks.

Sounds like some type transparency flattening going on in there. InDesign itself has issues when exporting to lower PDF versions (1.3) and also if transparent objects are around say hyperlinks/buttons etc. The XMP data can be destroyed since it's been broken down and is not the original content any more.
Let us know if you explore in more detail in the ID forum, 2 doors down

Using PDF files with Flash

With Flash Professional 8, can I import or attach a standard
PDF file to a flash document so that it can be downloaded off the
web?

You don't need to, even if you could (which I don't think you
can). Using the getURL() method should provide the access to the
file so that it can be opened and saved.

Using pdf-security with FormProcessor blanks out entire PDF

When I try to set the pdf-security property and its associated properties with the FormProcessor.setConfig API method, the resulting PDF document is completely blank. And no, it's not an issue of my security. When I view the security properties within the document, it says there is no security. Has anyone been able to get this to work with FormProcessor, and if so, HOW???
Regards,
KH

It's rather sad to have to be answering my own post, but for anyone else who might need this info this seems to have worked in my project - at least locally... Although it doesn't appear to be documented, you can use the same properties from the FOProcessor engine with the FormrProcessor engine, and call the FormProcessor.setConfig() method.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("remove-pdf-fields", "true");
props.setProperty("pdf-security", "true");
fProcessor.setConfig(props);

Question on PDF files with linked images (not embedded) between Reader and Illustrator

I run into situations when I get customer PDFs that need to be edited. When they load in Acrobat Reader it works fine. However if I load it into Illustrator it asks me to point it to the linked file. The question is how does Acrobat Reader open a PDF file and show a linked file when it is not embedded? Why can't Illustrator do the same thing?
This is more of a technical question, but any information would be helpful. Thanks.

For linked images, your PDF file contains a thumbnail image along with the reference or address of the actual image. Reader will display this thumbnail. Now, wanting to edit the PDF in Illustrator, it wants to enable you working on the actual image. Hence it asks you to point to the linked file.

Using .pdf files with annotations from "preview" on Ipad

I am a medical student have been using preview on my MacBook to take notes on pdf file presentations for several years. I am looking to getting an ipad and want to be able to transfer all these .pdf files over to be able to access on the iPad. Is there an application that will preserve my annotations so they show up in the pdf file when viewed on the ipad?

3D PDF with printed image shrinked

Hi, recently I am testing the usage of 3D PDF for a project. Let me take a example: http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/Cookbook/pdf/javascript_for_3d_animation.pdf
It is a pdf file with 3D image on the right of the page. I first stop the animation and then zoom the 3D model until it touches the boundary of the 3D window. Like this: http://postimg.org/image/s3wd4g72b/
Next, I tried to print it. At the preview, it looks okay. However, the printout of the image in the 3D window is somehow. Like this: http://postimg.org/image/pizz84tst/
May I know the reason and what should I do so that the size of the 3D model printout will be the same as that shown on the screen? Thanks very much.

I am experiencing the same problem too. However, I am not sure about whether the source of problem comes come whether the model is the volumetric shape or not. Because in my example, I always use closed meshes to export in .u3d format as a component to generate the pdf file. Here is the example for illustration:
https://hotfile.com/dl/255656780/62855a4/Template.pdf.html
On the screen, I move the spheres in such a way that the red and green spheres are partially shown: http://postimg.org/image/mb8erlkfn/
But just like situation mentioned by the user "My Screen Name", the printout shows the visible parts of the red and green spheres completely:http://postimg.org/image/c4liqfy6p/
Is there anything we can do to ask acrobat to print exactly the size we adjusted on the screen? Thanks.

How to create multiple page PDF from multiple jpg images?

I have three jpeg images with pixel dimensions 1008 x 1464. I wish to create a PDF file with one image per page. Apparently Preview previously performed this function, and this functionality was deliberately removed by the time of Mac OS X 10.6.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. I have combined the images via Gimp into one jpeg image of size 1008 x 4392, but it would be better if I could create a PDF file. I have been unable to figure out how to do this via GraphicConverter, which trial version constantly displays the 30 second "buy me" window before loading -- annoying: I once accidentally opened it, and it would not let me close the application until the "buy me" window finished...
I have been able to create a PDF file through the action of "printing" (cf. https://discussions.apple.com/message/12395021#12395021), but that reduces the image size and creates a white margin around the images (as if printing on a sheet of paper), which I wish to avoid.
Thank you for your time and help!
Message was edited by: ethereality -- added another "workaround" attempt

I drag and dropped from Finder into TextEdit, and it only copied the file path as text. From what software would I drag the images into TextEdit?
First, set the TextEdit document to Rich Text Format - you can do that via the Format menu in TextEdit. This will allow the inclusion of pictures.
Then you can either -
• Drag an image file into the TextEdit window, and a preview-sized image will be inserted. If this is too small for your purposes -
• Open the image file in Preview (or an image editor, if you choose), size the image to your liking, press Command-A (Select All) and the press Command-C (Copy) - doing this will place a copy of the image on the Clipboard. Then switch focus to the TextEdit document and press Command-V (Paste). This will place a large-size image of the file.
