Wrong PDF file generated from FM 10 book

Sometimes when I generate a PDF from a FrameMaker 10 unstructured book, the generated PDF overwrites an existing file with a totally different name and location. After I try a few times without changing anything, it finally does it right. Any ideas?

If you really want to get to the bottom of what's grabbing and overwriting(?) your files, you could use Microsoft's Sysinternals Process Monitor (Procmon) available from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
You can configure the filters to watch what's going on in a folder or on a file, but it's a bit geeky to setup all the filters - it also logs a ton of data, so interpreting it or tracking down an event could also be tedious. If you have an IT department, they should be consulted and could help set this up.
Here is an article that details how to set up the Process Monitor to watch specific files:
http://www.veryant.com/support/phpkb/question.php?ID=136
Otherwise, just run Distiller with the Ask setting, to see if something odd is happening at this stage. If you're still getting mysterious deletions, then dig deeper with the Process Monitor.

Data visibility problem in PDF file generated from R/3 system

Hi all,
We are converting the output of a Smartform into a PDF format. From this smart from, we receive data in OTF format, after which the required data is converted from OTF format to PDF format. Then PDF data is sent through mail using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as an attachment.
For the above mentioned Smartform, we have defined Paragraph & Character font type as 'TIMES' in smart style. But when we receive the PDF file (through mail), some data of appears in other fonts:
1) When PDF file is generated from Development system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial and Times-Roman. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output and faced no major problems because both of these fonts are supported by PDF file format.
2) When PDF file is generated from Testing system, the font types which is used by PDF is Arial. In this case, we are able to see the PDF output because this font is supported by PDF file format.
3) When PDF file is generated from Production system, the different font types which are used by PDF are Arial, Times-Roman and PBRS. Here, we are able to see the data which is displayed in Arial font and Times-Roman font. But we are not able to see the data which is displayed in PBRS font because this type of font is not supported by PDF file format. If we copy the distorted text from PDF file and paste it in MS-Word then the required data is clearly visible and that is due to the reason that MS-Word supports PBRS font.
But as per smart style we have used only 'TIMES' font, then why different fonts are appearing in PDF file?
What settings are required to be done to make this data visible?
Any pointer to solve this issue will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Dheeraj Tolani

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server

I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?

Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.

Hidden Text in PDF file generated from Ai

One of my clients (an Ad Agency) has a problem with a PDF file.
They make the layout in Adobe Illustrator them (to send the file to the newspaper) use the "Save as" menu and use the prepress setting.
The designer use "Helvetica Neue" the TrueType that came with MacOSX.
But for a weird reason one letter in the headline dissappear... this one>>>> "É"
When I check the file in Acrobat 9 and X reports a "Hidden Text".
Any idea what happen there???
Thanks a lot

"Save as PDF" occasionally writes internal links as external links (pointing to a file with the current PDF file name). Such links won't work after the PDF is renamed, even if the PDF is a stand-alone PDF.
Try printing the book to a .ps file and distilling, instead of "Save as PDF".

How do I link to Anchor Text from browser to PDF file exported from InDesign?

I see that this question was asked previously but not answered:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3737541
I need a way to link to topics (from an HTML page) within a structured PDF file generated from InDesign, i.e. one that has an interactive bookmarks
panel, that doesn't break the links when the file is updated.
In particular, I don't want to refer to:
* page numbers because the document will repaginate when it is updated, breaking existing links
* named destinations that are numeric as addition/deletion of topics renumbers the named destinations, breaking the links.
Is there any option in InDesign that creates named destinations derived from bookmark titles as that would seem to solve my problem?
I have a similar need, but I have not been able to find an answer anywhere online, even after a several hours of research.
I am on contract with General Electric to develop a UI Style Guide for an international team of developers. My client wants to be able to distribute the Style Guide as a PDF document, but needs to provide links to specific topics when submitting a "Story" in an Agile development environment to the programmers.
Ideally, I would like to be able to create "named destinations" in InDesign such that I can provide the client with a list of URLs similar to this format:
file:\\StyleGuide\Test1-20131024a.pdf\#nameddest=AnchorText-01
However, I can not figure out how to create "named destinations" in the PDF file from the InDesign file in which I have created the Anchor Text in the Hyperlinks tab.
Alternately, the client would be satisfied with the ability to link to specific bookmarks in the exported PDF file that have been derived from the configuration of the Table of Contents styles, but my research has led me to believe that it is not possible to hyperlink from a browser window to a bookmark in a PDF file (only to specific page numbers, search word lists, named destinations, and comments) as described here: http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.ht ml
Having been using InDesign since 1988, when it was PageMaker, I would prefer to use it to provide GE with the most attractive deliverable, but they are now leaning heavily toward having me licensed with Madcap Flare, which has this capability built in:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Please help me to find a solution that will allow me to continue using InDesign for this project.
Thank you!

Follow-up post (solution is not available):
I have just completed a phone call with Gaurev Sethi of Adobe escalated technical support in which I shared my screen to explain and demonstrate the desire to link from an external URL to a specific location within a PDF file that has been exported from InDesign. After 40 minutes, during which I was placed on hold a few times while he consulted with his team, it was determined that the desired functionality is not supported in InDesign and has been identified as a limitation of the software.
In researching alternate documentation software that supports PDF export, I discovered that Madcap Software supports this functionality in its Flare product:
http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare9/Default.htm#Nav_Links/Named_Destinations/Creating _Named_Destinations.htm
Note that linking via URL to a bookmarked location within a PDF is not supported:

More about parameters that can be specified to open PDF files are available here:

PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author

Is it wise to use ready PDF files to create a new book in iBooks Author?
I have a music book with lot's of images that whas previously published as a physical book. I have it all as ready PDF files with illustrations.
Should I copy paste all texts and images seperately into iBooks Author or could I just drag the complete PDF's into the iBooks program.
Thanks!

To drag a page's contents means selecting just that page, which is just copy/paste with the result being an image.
Dragging a PDF into an iBA book means dragging the entire file, which is not the same as selective copy/paste and as noted, results in just an image.
It is possible to just do text /andor just do images, but success can depend on certain attributes they possess, etc. You need to select specific assets, then paste them in, then rework as needed.
PDF-to-iBA isn't neat - formatting, fonts, etc. will be lost. Find the original content that the PDF came from and try to work with it, instead - that will be much cleaner and require less rework, I think.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

Any tricks to store pdf file generated via jasper to oracle tables.

i need to generate pdf file ..for records in a cursor..
So i use jasper integration kit ... to accomplish the same...
issue is .. i need to press a button and then pdfs file shoudl be generated...and stored in a table as a blob..My process does this..
But since the process can be fired only on condition. on load before header...
The result is i get my pdf file generated and stored in table ..but the page is a blank page..seems like it is some jasper page..
http://127.0.0.1:82/apex/f?p=132:267:3324851978466855::::: The page looks empty...I will not want it to look empty...
i will like after pressing a button immediatley it shows a page processing and when processing is done... it shifts to other page...
I am putting the part of code which generates the pdf file ...any guidance or help shall be appreciated..
So i hope you understood the issue..*Issue is when button is pressed i see a blank page..THough the below process is fired pdf file genrated and stored in oracle tables..as blob.. I will like instead of blank page it displays me some othe page..say like processing and once done it shoudl say processing complete..*
Any guidance will be kindly appreciated..

All you need to do - is that you should use the column data type as Long Raw.Why would you recommend using LONG RAW which has been deprecated in favour of BLOB for years?
You can find a simple example of inserting a file into a BLOB column using JDBC here. The Oracle JDBC docs are also worth a read. Find out more.

How to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat?

I simply want to passw protect my pdf files generated by Adobe Acrobat. However the option as indicated by the helpdesk is not available in my pdf generator. I am working with apple? Can someone tell me how to pass protect my files?
Can some one help me out here?

Hi josr,
You can password protect your files in Adobe Acrobat by choosing File > Properties when you have the PDF open, and clicking the Security tab. Here is a Help topic that goes into detail: Acrobat Help | Securing PDFs with passwords.
If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try! Feel free to download a 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

Where is a PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?

Hi,
In BIEE11g, I created an Agent for scheduling to generate PDF files from Analysis.
In tab: "Delivery Content", I choose PDF in field "Format", and BIEE will automatically chooise option "Deliver as attachment".
At the same time, in tab: "Destinations", I just choose "Home Page and Dashboard" for field: "User Destinations".
After scheduling time, an Alert is generated, and there is data and graph embedded in the content of the Alert. However, I don't find any URL for downloading PDF file. I want to make use of BIEE Agent that so that I can keep snapshot data for the report.
Anyone know where where is the PDF file, generated by Agent (BIEE11g), stored?
Thanks

A nice way to achieve this is to export the reports to the server's filesystem using the Actions tab > Invoke Server Script. On a Windows server you can write a little VBScript or Javascript and pass it the PDF file which then gets saved to disk. I have some code if you are interested - contact me via my blog.

Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.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 docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

How to populate/import data in a XSD file generated from a webservice

HI All,
I have an XSD file generated from the webserive using the CRM FM E2C_DOWNLOAD_CRT_SCHEMA.
I created a Adobe form with the Adobe life cycle designer using the XSD file.
However Data will have to be entered manually in this adobe form and cannot be pre-populated with data, How do we pre-populate data in the Adobe form generated from XSD file of the above CRM FM.

This is what you need:
integer li_fhandle, li_rcode = 1, li_sfound = 0, li_idx = 0, li_eqpos, i
string ls_filename = 'C:\app.ini'
string ls_line, as_key[], as_val[]
string ls_section = '[General]'
// OPEN INI FILE
li_fhandle = FileOpen(ls_filename, LineMode!)
IF IsNull(li_fhandle) OR li_fhandle < 1 THEN
// DO NOTHING
ELSE
DO WHILE li_rcode > 0
li_rcode = FileRead(li_fhandle, ls_line)
IF li_rcode > 0 THEN
IF POS(ls_section, ls_line) > 0 THEN
li_sfound = 1
CONTINUE
END IF
IF li_sfound = 0 THEN CONTINUE
IF POS(ls_line, '[') > 0 AND POS(ls_line, ']') > 0 THEN EXIT
li_eqpos = POS(ls_line, '=')
li_idx++
as_key[li_idx] = MID(ls_line, 1, li_eqpos - 1)
as_val[li_idx] = MID(ls_line, li_eqpos + 1)
END IF
LOOP
END IF
FOR i = 1 TO li_idx
messagebox('Key - Value',as_key[i] + ' = ' + as_val[i])
NEXT
// CLOSE INI FILE
IF li_fhandle > 0 THEN
FileClose(li_fhandle)
END IF
Adapt it to your needs... you probably should make it a function.
