PDF/A-1a not available

$

0
Hi,

I'm trying to convert a PDF to a PDF/A. This needs to be done using the steps PDF -> PS and after that PS -> PDF/A. My problem is that I can only select 'PDFA1b 2005 CMYK' and 'PDFA1b 2005 RGB' as profile settings to convert PS to PDF/A.

There doesn't seem to be a preset for a profile for PDF/A-1a. Even if I try to create a new 'Adobe PDF Setting' for the conversion, I can't find out how to create a PDF/A that conforms to PDF/A-1a eventough http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/pdfgenerator/features.html says that should be supported by Generator ES.

regards,

Jan Eerdekens

PDFGenerator/OCR fails if primary OCR language EN

I am trying to create and ocr a PDF from scanned invoice Nextra.tif with Primary OCR language setting different from English.

The scanned document Nextra.tif converts and ocrs fine in stand-alone Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro on any Primary OCR language settings.

When I try PDFGenerator in LiveCycle adminui and Primary OCR language in File Settings is EN, DE, FR, SP or IT everything works fine.

However, when I select language for example Polish, Croatian, Hungarian, … I just got error:

Error Code:16003
Error Message: ALC-PDG-016-003-An unknown/unexpected error occurred during PDF post-processing.

Here is the stacktrace as I found it in the log:

The second problem is that, the Primary OCR language I really need to set is Czech or Slovak, but LiveCycle offers only no existing Czechoslovakian language.

Is there way in LiveCycle PDFGenerator to convert and ocr a scanned document on Czech or Slovak language setting?

I installed the Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 Pro and LiveCycle for JBoss using Turnkey + SP1b on Windows Server 2003.

Hi,
We have created a custom service by merging two OOTB services GeneratePDF service and ApplyPolicy services.

Invoking this custom service via gSOAP web service fails with the following error.

"ALC-DSC-003-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCInvocationException: Invocation error."

Anyone has any examples of using gSOAP to invoke GeneratePDF service?

Can post a code snippet if required.

Error transforming PDF to PDF/A on LiveCycle PDF Generator ES 8.01

Using the lifecycle remoting we are trying to transform a PDF to PDF/A. Sometime it works and sometimes obviously it doesn't. However, in this case it reports that it can not transform the document as it is protected by a password which is untrue. The original document is not protected by a password. The error is as shown below. Does anyone have any ideas as to why we are seeing this and how to resolve it ?

Hi - I recently upgraded to LiveCycle ES 8.0.1 SP 2, and since I've been getting this error (ALC-PDG-011-029-c0000005) when running PDF generator. I looked in the release notes and it says to increase the server timeout so I did that, but I'm still getting the error.

Anybody seen this?

Problem with Data in Form

$
0
0
I have begun using the Form feature in Adobe 8.0. I have made my forms using the Livecycle designer. I have received back completed forms via email and then I have entered the data in the actual form itself by hitting "import data." When doing so I've noticed that there are some responses that show a little bit of the answer but then there is this plus sign (+) and when I click on it, it allows me to see the rest of the response(by scrolling over).

My problem is when I print off the form, it still has this plus sign on there and it doesn't show the complete answer. The only way to see the entire response is if you scroll over on the form on the computer. I was wondering how you get it to show the entire response and get rid of the plus sign???

Any help would be appreciated.

PDF -> PDF/A Conversion: Converted documents are not PDF/A compiant

$
0
0

 

 

Hi,

 

I am using adobe LiveCycle 8.2 to convert PDF documents to PDF/A.

 

I tried this in two ways.

 

First I used the toPDFA method of the DocConverterService. In that case most of the pdf-documents could not be converted.

 

In another case I used the toPS method of the ConvertPdfService to convert the file to PostScript and then the createPDF method of the DistillerService service to go from PostScript to PDF/A. When I open the converted files in Adobe Reader 9, I get the message "You are viewing this document in PDF/A mode", but when I check the document with the isPDFA method of the DocConverterService then in most cases the document is not PDF/A compliant. When I use toPDFA method on this document it can be made PDF/A compliant.

 

What is the preferred way to convert PDF to PDF/A?

When is a document PDF/A compliant? When Adobe Reader says it is, or when LiveCycle says it is? And if Adobe Reader is right, Is there a way to check compliance with LiveCycle?

 

Thanks.

problem exporting data from secured form

$
0
0

Hello,

I made a form in Livecycle 9.0 and am distributing it through Acrobat Pro 9.0 - using Acrobat.com's form distribution application - in several cycles to see how varying the levels of security of the form will affect users (the folks who will be filling out the forms), once they get the forms.  I want to see how many passwords they have to enter, what they can do, what they cannot do with the form..  I've been sending unsecured and secured forms out, to test.

 

The problem I have now is, when I receive my permissions protected, secured forms back, I cannot EXPORT the data.  Both  the "Export" and "Archived" buttons are greyed out, and even when I remove the security settings from File--> Portfolio Properties, nothing changes.

I'm locked out of the collected data!

 

It's easy to export data from unsecured response forms (without permissions protection), but I would prefer to limit the amount of manipulation users can do to the forms (aside from commenting, filling them out, and signing them). 

 

The secured forms perform great on the Acrobat Reader - user (form-filler) end, restricting printing, modifying text, etc,  but they return to me in Acrobat Pro inert.  I'm completely stumped to how I can get data out of them. I would sure appreciate any help!

 

Thanks,

Chenster

generatePDFOutput result .bin file

Hi Guys,

 

I've tried to do a process in workbench that does something like this: it uses the generatePDFOutput activity to merge a xml inside a xdp, and it works well when i invoke it in workbench. But when i do put the xml file in the watch folder it doesn't return a PDF file, istead of this it returns a .bin file.

 

How do i workaround this, as a way to give me a PDF file in result?

 

Regards.

Create interactive PDF with fields

$

Hi,

I have created a workflow that uses assembler and DDX to create a complete XDP file from 5+ XDP files.


At first I used LC Output > GeneratePDFOutput service, but it created a flat PDF and I have fields in my XDP and the final PDF must be fillable.

 

I then used LC Forms > RenderPDFForm service. This created a fillable PDF. But when I compare with the old solution the final PDF had fields build with Acrobat and can have comments added. This is not possible in the PDF I have created with Forms.

 

Question 1:
Is it possible to create dynamic PDF with fillable fields with LC Output?? and what am I missing if possible?

 

Question 2:
Is it possisble to create dynamic PDF with fillable fields with LC Output or LC Forms that can have comments/markup added?? and how it is done?

 

 

.. a part from this small issue Assembler is just such a powerful service and can solve complex manual document assembly very strong

Connection to Failed Service or Not Serializable Errors

Hi. I'm getting connection to failed service errors or not serializable errors when I run a production sized load for my project.  I'm trying to generate 100,000 PDFs one at a time on each thread against the Output web service.  I'm running custom code that makes the Output web service call on individual thread.  I run up to 40 threads against my vertical cluster and occasionally I see a not serializable error or connection to failed service on my code.  Any ideas on what could be the cause of the errors?  Thank you for any insight you can provide.

 

I'm running a WebLogic vertical cluster on one box.  1 admin server of WebLogic 9.2 MP3 with 10 managed WebLogic servers on the same physical box in a cluster.  I have enough RAM to support all these JVMs and the GDS is on the local drive on the box.

 

Environment details:

Software: Windows 2003 R2 SP2 (32-bit), WebLogic 9.2 MP3, Adobe LC 8.2.1 SP3 + QF 3.19, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BEA Jrockit 1.5.0_12 (32-bit)

Hardware: 2 CPU 2.8GHz * 4 cores * Hyper-Threading = makes it look like 16 CPUs in Task Manager, Performance tab, 16 GB RAM, 50+ GB HD space free

 

Error Message:

+ com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCNotSerializableException: Not Serializable

 

IVS Error Message that happens randomly when the errors are occurring.  I can resubmit the same IVS test where this error shows up on the managed WL instance and it :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Connection to failed service. in com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.exception.RenderFormException, cause: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Connection to failed service. in com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.exception.FormServerException

I have applied a button to my form, which submits the form by e-mail as an xml data package.

 

I can open the empty form in LiveCycle Designer, but how do I capture the data?

looking for api hooks w/o invoking server

hi there,

 

i'm looking into the automated conversion of millions of pdf's from version 1.0 to 1.4 A/1-b.

 

i am evaluating multiple ways to do this, and i have no prior experience with livecycle, but i am an experienced programmer. most of these pdf's are quite large (some gigabytes in size) and so i'm looking for a way to use the api without having to invoke a service over the network. i have looked into watched folders, and this maybe the way to go, but i'm really hoping for hooks into an api that basically allows me to open a pdf in place, manipulate it (add, change or remove some parts such as xmp, creator, document id, etc), and then save it as pdf A\1-b. are there any such hooks in the api? if not, would i need to build a custom service that did the above, and then invoke over the network, or have it watch a folder?

 

basically, i hoping to not to have to use the lc es server.

 

any thoughts/help are appreciated!

Central Pro Output X LiveCycle Output

$

Hello!

 

A client would like to buy Central Pro Output to generate PDF files. So I suggested they should go for LC Output, as the previous one is about to be discontinued in 2016.

 

So they told me their other plants in Japan, Europe and USA use the older solution (I'm in Brazil). So I insisted they should give LiveCycle a try.

One of their concerns is if LiveCycle is capable of generating PDFs in a format that is compatible with the ones generated by Central Pro Output.

 

I know nothing about the previous solution but I guess there would be no compatibility problems at all.

 

Please, do you guys comfirm this? What other ideas should I use to convince them to chosse LiveCycle?

 

Thank you for any ideas.

Renaming generated files

Hi!

 

I've created a very simple process in Workbench using Output to merge XLM and XDP files and generate PDFs.

Everything is woking fine, but as I get dozens of XML and generate the same number of PDF files.

 

I'm using WriteDocument service operation from FileUtilsService (Foundation) to save the files and I marked the Append a suffix to the file name to make it unique if it has been used option.

It works, but the suffixes appended to the file names are random numbers.

 

I need to name the files in sequence - how do I do it? Do I have to add any other block to this process?

 

Thank you for any hints!

Upgrading From Altercast to Livecycle

Hi

 

I was looking for some direction.  We currently use Adobe Document Server 5.0 and the Altercast Web Service to pass XML to a template and for it to pass us back a pdf document.  We have been advised that Lifecycle is the way forward.  I was wondering if the Output Module would be the correct module to use for this?  Does anybody have any pointers in this direction.


Any help would be gratefully recieved.

 

Many Thanks


Chris
