Hello all

I've just concluded a LC ES2.5 installation and I'm verifying PDF Generator functionality in adminui

I'm able to use GeneratePDF service (it takes about 10 seconds per document), but whenever I try to export PDF to any format that is not an image (for example, PDF to HTML or PDF to DOC) I get the following error in adminui:

ALC-PDG-010-010 conversion timed out

An unexpected exception while resolving a new connection to an Adobe Service.

The app server log reads:

2010-11-24 16:52:02,320 WARN  [com.adobe.service.ProcessResource] BMC024: Service Native2PDFSvc: Process ProcessResource@d2a0ff4(name=pdfgen.exe,pid=0) terminated abnormally with error code {3}

The system readiness tool doesn't report any error, just warnings (for instance, that office 2010 is not supported, although i'm able to convert DOCX and XLSX to PDF)

The results are attached, and the JBoss log tail for that file conversion attempt too.

I've already followed the steps described in http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2010/06/run_livecycle_pdf_generator_es.html to no avail

Thanks for your help

Does Adobe offer a tool (similar to distiller) to create PDFs from MS Office docs (word, excel, powerpoint etc) from a watched folder.  i.e. no user input.  The PDF files are automatically created in an output directory.  The files can be copied into the watched folder (this will be done via a dos batch script that runs every 15 mins) and the PDFs will be automatically created in an output directory.  I am on Windows 2008 and I can purchase any adobe product that can do this (but it does have to be an Adobe product).

thanks

Hi,

I want to convert doc to pdf with my desktop app (develop in VB6). Is it LiveCycle PDF Generator component, is suitable for my requirement? Earlier i used Acrobat Distiller 6.0 for that project. Please share your feedback on my requirement

Regards

Our firm uses LiveCycle PDFs to perform data merge activities.  We have well over a 100 PDFs that need to be converted to LiveCycle for this data merge activity.  Right now, the conversion to LiveCycle is where someone opens the PDF and saves it as a LiveCycle PDF.  Is there a way to batch this conversion?  Either through development activities or through a batch job?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi,     

     I have a multi-threaded conversion exception(Conversion service:WatchedFolder)

I am using LiveCycle Version: 8.2.1, GM

I need to convert JDT files to PDF.I heard that Live cycle PDF has that functionality.I need to get some more information on how to convert JDT files into PDF.Any input relating this will be highly appreciated

Thanks

SK

I'm looking for a way to export a PDF to a TIF image.   In the LiveCycle Administration Console I can use the export PDF function under PDF Generator ES and specify TIF as an output format.  However, in the ExportPDF2 service, TIF is not one of the available export formats.  Anyone know how to specify a TIF format?

help me ! thanks

Hi,

I am new to PDFGenerator, but after looking for quite a while I did not seem to find a question, so I decided to post - and maybe help other people who have the same issue:

How do I a control page breaks when I transform an HTML document to PDF using PDFGenerator's htmlFileToPDF method.

I am trying to use page-break-after - but PDF Generator still creates a single page.

But It could be that this is actually a symptom of a wider problem: We have a nice HTML report, which uses media print in the CSS to create a printable version, which adds page breaks, and headers and footers on the printable page in the browser - How do I tell PDFGenerator, that I want it to render the HTML as media print ?

Here is the minimal HTML make I could come up with, which shows my approach for the page breaks:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html lang="en">

  <head>

    <style type="text/css">

.pagebreak{

    page-break-after:always;

}

    </style>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    <title>

      2 page document

    </title>

  </head>

  <body>

    <p class="pagebreak">

      This is the first page (with p class="pagebreak" )

    </p>

    <p>

      This is the second page

    </p>

  </body>

</html>

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks

Thomas

Hi,

I would like to know does 'Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator' use Microsoft Office or Open Office Automation inside to convert Excel files to PDF.

I'm currently looking for a solution that DOES NOT need Microsoft Excel or Open office to do the conversions.

I would also like to now in an average how long it would take to convert a Excel File to PDF ?

Please Help.

Thanks !

Hello!

A client wishes to convert RTF and DOCX forms (MS Word) into editable PDF forms and perform the following tasks:

1. Detect and convert these field types: Text Form Field / Check Box Form Field / Option Form Field / Combo Box Form Field
2. Some fields should be protected - only some areas will be able to fill in
3. The generated PDF files must be password protected
4. Some of the fields should be defined as required
5. Some of the field values will be calculated

Questions:

1. Is it possible to automate this with LiveCycle?

2. If positive, is PDF Generator the right module for this or do I have to use additional or another one? Which one(s)?

Thank you very much for any ideas.

Marcos

We have an XDP that generates an interactive PDF form using a LiveCycle ES2 process to partially pre-populated the form before it's rendered to the browser. On most clients the file size is 846kb but on other clients the size is 1.8Mb. The client machines are essentially identical in that they all use Reader 9.1.3, Win XP, IE6, and are using the same LiveCycle ES2 server to generate the form. The clients are in different geographic locations and the one that generated the larger file is on a slow branch of the network (256k) which is causing timeout issues due to the size of the PDF which is not acceptable to the client.

Why would there be such a dramatic difference in the size of the what is essentially the same PDF being generated by the same server but to different clients?

I re-ran configuration manager in ES4 SP1 Turnkey to uninstall the PDF Generator module and now I am receiving the following errors in the server.log:

I noticed that all of these services are still listed in the Components view in Workbench and showing up as Active even after the module is uninstalled.

You have to manually uninstall the services using Workbench to remove them completely and prevent the errors above.

I have configured a watch folder to convert .tiff files to searchable pdf files.
It creates a folder for each file converted, (eg: results, results_0, results_1... so on). But all the converted files contain in the results folder (duplicate folders are empty) and it's not in OCR format.

How to prevent creation of multiple folders and how to take the output file in OCR format. Please guide.

Environment: ES4 LiveCycle11

I have a number of pdf forms which I want to distribute to clients as a single PDF portfolio.  Some of these forms are editable and have reader extensions applied, the others are just static forms.

First off the editable forms have reader extensions applied using the Reader Extensions web service.  Then all the candidate forms are passed to the Assembler Service to create the PDF Portfolio.  The following is a representation of the DDX

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">

            <PDF result="out.pdf">

<Package/>

<PackageFiles>

<PDF source="Editable1.pdf"/>

</PackageFiles>

<PackageFiles>

<PDF source="Editable2.pdf"/>

</PackageFiles>

<PackageFiles>

<PDF source="Static1.pdf"/>

</PackageFiles>

<PackageFiles>

<PDF source="Static2.pdf"/>

</PackageFiles>

<PackageFiles>

<PDF source="Static3.pdf"/>

</PackageFiles>

</PDF>

The PDF Portfolio is created successfully however when it is opened in Adobe Reader (XI) the following message is displayed.

The editable forms are not changed in any way after reader extensions are applied. My expectation was that the individual reader extended files would still be editable within the PDF Portfolio.  Am I missing a step, perhaps in the DDX config which is causing the reader extensions settings to be disabled?

Thanks

When I edit a pdf form in LiveCycle and send it to someone, they fill it out and send it back, but it is blank when I get it. Anyone else having these issues?

I am using LiveCycle Designer ES4 on a Windows 7 desktop and saving the file. I then open the file in Adobe Pro XI to Save As Other - Reader Extended PDF - Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save)...

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello!

We just downloaded the LiveCycle Virtual Appliance and got it running - looks like a really great piece (better multiple pieces) of great software...

We are actually looking for a way to convert PDF to PDF/A. Is this possible with LiveCycle PDF Generator running on Linux?

best regards,

Florian

Hi

I’m having problems to get LCES PDF-generator to convert doc and txt files. I have seen that there are other posts about this subject, but I’ve tried all the solutions that comes up in the other posts with no luck.

I’m able to generate pdf’s from jpg, gif and pdf

I have:

-          installed Microsoft Office on the server

-          installed openOffice on the server

-          installed Acrobat on the server

-          tried to change the user that JBOSS service use to log on

-          tried changing the security of the “GeneratePDFService”

-          tried a billion other, apparently not relevant, things J

right now I’m getting this error message when trying to convert doc and txt files:

ALC-PDG-011-029-COM object method returns error code: 0x80010001; Call was rejected by callee.

This error message comes when I’ve set the user that starts the JBOSS service to local machine administrator (witch is the one used when installing Office, openOffice and Acrobat). If the user is changed to the default system user I get this error message:

ALC-PDG-001-000-Conversion failed because of an exception.

An unexpected exception while resolving a new connection to an Adobe Service.

I can provide the full stacktrace if it has any interest.
