Using reports to "just" create a pdf file

Hi All,
I'm using oracle aplication server 10g.
I have a situation where i must send several emails into my clients. I want to use the reports server to create several pdf files attached into a "pretty" mail message.
In the end the user will get a full report in a "pretty" html message with several pdf files.
I have already done a very flexibal pl/sql procedure that can send emails into any mail server and using any amount of attach files.
I have already done the reports and i can call them find from the find from oracle forms creating a pdf file.
My problem is that i can't stop the oracle from calling the browser and showing the report on the user screen. I simple want to generate the reports... create a html email message attach the reports (pdf) and send them into the user
Using the build in email support in oracle reports is out of the question because it's a bit limited.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
But i do not want to use reports to send the email, i just want him to generate a pdf file and NOT OPENING the pdf file on the user browser, having that i will use my own pl/sql procedure to send the email with the pdf file attached.
I need this because because reports is a bit limit in the email respect, and with a build in email procedure i can do a lot more things (mail queues, elaborate messages, mail store etc)
PS: i'm using the rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product package to run the reports

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.
the log says the bellow details...what's the problem and how can i resolve it? thanks.

How to use cfdocument create a PDF file and save the file in server?

the server for other people to download,can you give me a idea how
to do this.Thanks.

Hi
<cfdocument filename="" format = "PDF" pagetype="A4"

Give the physical path to the filename. You have write
permission for this folder to create a PDF file.

i'm so confused!! I just want to create interactive pdf files (with video and flash files), but this free trial version is confusing!! help!?!

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

FireFox 3.6.13 Locks up Microsoft XPS Document Writer, PDF995 (created Acrobat pdf file output) stops printing mid document, and Internet Explorer works fine

Microsoft XPS Document Writer locks up and PDF995.com (creates acrabat pdf file) stops printing after the second page from this site http://super.nova.org/DPR/CinematicApproach/. This was a Windows 7, 64 bit machine that had the issue. Microsoft Internet explorer works fine and printed the document with Internet Explorer.
The machine that displayed FireFox printing issues was a up to date Win 7, 64 bit, Quad Core, 8 Gig Ram. Don't really have a question just reporting a FireFox Bug.

Hi,
do you have a solution for the problem? We have actually a similar problem with locked IE8 when using a zoom factor > 100% (it's a customer WD4A).

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

Distiller will not create a .pdf file

Yesterday, I noticed—out-of-the-clear-blue-sky— that whenever I tried distilling a layout file in .eps, I kept getting 'Error' messages whenever I tried Distilling anything and Distiller wouldn't create a .pdf file!
This is what I recieved.
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MMXPR3 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Distill Time: 0 seconds (00:00:00)
**** End of Job ****
I even tried using an .eps file that I had created a .pdf file, from Distiller, on the previous day, and that wouldn't work either. So whats going on?
I finally got fed up and just uninstalled Acrobat and Distiller, and reinstalled it, and that didn't work either. My Acrobat also won't manually update now. I keep getting a "Update Internal Error." This also kept happening after I reinstalled it.
I need to use my Distiller in order to get a Press Quality .pdf.
I'm operating on a Mac OS X 10.5.8
I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Sounds like an EPS with preview? Not suitable. Use postscript for printing, not EPS.

Is there an ADOBE plugin for MS Project 2010 to create Dynamic PDF files?

I wonder if there exist any ADOBE plugin for MS Project 2010 to create Dynamic PDF files?

We are not going to use form fields. An employee is going to create large projects in MS Project 2010 and want to share his projects with other employees. So the need is just a viewer. So I guess we need to check out all the third part MS Project Viewers which is out there. Thanks for your answers guys!

Any way to just 'preview' a PDF file?

Is there any way to be able to open up a PDF file (using Reader or web plugin) and have NONE of the menu bars available? All I want the user to do is open the file, scroll up and down, and quit. Mainly for security reasons to block them saving the file in another location and/or emailing it out.
This is for a CMS that automatically creates the PDF files, so being able to 'automate' this task without having to make system changes to individual workstations would be preferable.

See if this helps: http://www.ehowtoguru.com/2007/11/09/how-to-edit-protected-pdf-files-for-free

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
Thank you very much

You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
- start Acrobat 3D
- drag & drop a CAD file
- click on 3D Annot to activate
- right-click on 3D
- select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
- 3D Toolkit launches
- click in 'Scene Tree' panel
- right-click on top assembly name
- select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
- select 'File->Save'
- select 'File->Exit'

How to create a pdf file?

Hi,
I would like to know how to create a pdf file programatically using APIs. I have acrobat8 or acrobat9 sdk but there no dll in sdk.
Do i need acrobat library? If yes then how to get the same?

You need Adobe Acrobat.
The Acrobat SDK is automating/programming Acrobat (and sometimes Reader).

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional. This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro. Assistance greatly appreciated.

Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
File > Create > PDF from File
is shaky. It works with some file types but not with others.
Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner. If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.
