cannot export PDF or Word documents #140

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start either standalone or plug-in Pencil, assuming default text
template has been installed.
2. Create a new blank document.
3. Select Document-> Export Document
4. Choose PDF or Microsoft Word format
5. Export

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is that the document should be generated in one of
these two formats.  What you get instead is the error message:

Error exporting document

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520001
(NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath]" nsresult:
"0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://pencil/content/Exporter/OOConverstionExporter.js :: anonymous ::
line 33" data: no]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Standalone 1.1 build 1
Mozilla plugin 1.1 build 1

These were labeled as RC2 on the download page.

I have tried both of these on both Windows XP and XP64.

Please provide any additional information below.

Apparently, after updating xulrunner to 1.9.0.17 AND installing Export 
Template, 
every export is working.
Try updating Firefox/xulrunner first.

I attempted to upgrade xulrunner and Firefox to the latest versions but I am 
still 
unable to export PDF files. I installed the PDF Export Template as well. I am 
using 
Windows 7 64-Bit.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Are there plans to resolve this issue by the developers of Pencil? 

If I can provide any further information to assist in resolving the issue 
please let me 
know.

I am facing the same problem with exporting. None of the format is working for 
me. I
am using standalone on Ubuntu 9.04 (.deb). I do see a message HTML export 
complete
box but there are no files saved.

Help please.

Meanwhile for PDF you can use this (windows only, but I guess similar tools are
around for linux also):

1. Export to PNG
2. Download and install: http://www.imposant.com/products/image2pdf.htm
3. Open program
4. Add PNG
5. Changes order, if necessary
6. Save as PDF

I also get the exact same issues as noted by others.

Pencil Standalone version 1.2 build 0
XULRunner version 1.9.2.3705
WinXP Pro, version 2002, SP3, AMD Turion II Dual-Core, 4GB RAM

Attempting to Export as PDF via both the standard export PDF template as well 
as the 960gs template.

This has never worked however, I've only had Pencil installed for a little over 
a week.

Looking forward to a fix for this.

IMPORTANT Information : it works perfectly when pencil is used as a firefox

It's failing in this file - OOConversionExporter.js , line 31:
var path = Config.get("export.oo.converter.uno.path", "/bin/sh");
this config setting doesn't exist,neither does /bin/sh on windows.
I guess it's expecting the OO to be installed for this feature to work?

looks like the 00 conversion library is used to convert to .doc. E.g. changing 
the configuration of the setting in Pencil options to a JOD Convertor and 
leaving it as http:\\example.com will finish successfully but the output is a 
screenshot of a 'page cannot be found' error.

Seems this feature uses unoconv.  http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
Never mind the /sh/bin, the unoconv site says ...Requirements: unoconv is 
written in python. It needs a recent OpenOffice with UNO bindings. Has anyone 
tried running it before/after installing OpenOffice?

Same here. Windows 7 32-bit, using the stand-alone edition. V frustrating, as 
others have said the app is AMAZING but without the ability to export to a good 
single-file format that supports multi-page linking, it means I cannot easily 
share the mock-ups I create :(

I too have the same issue.  I have it on Win XP, Win 7, and Linux Mint 10 
machines.  I hate to have to fork over 80 bucks for balsamiq or the likes when 
this should work fine!  As everyone has said, we need to be able to export pdfs 
with linked pages.  Amazing program, but I can't use it!!!

If i try to export to pdf or doc, i got the same error.

Error message:
[Exception... "component returned failure code: 0x80520001

[nsILocalFile.initWithPath]"nsresult: "0x80520001

anonymous:: line 33"data: no]

Pencil Plugin version 1.2
Windows 7 32bit

I got a littlebit further.

1) Download OpenOffice 3.3
2) Install Custom with UNO Bindings
3) Download unovonc from http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
4) Extract file "unoconv" from the archiv
5) In Pencil: Settings, Document Exporter, Path to UNO converter = C:\Program 
Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\python.exe
6) Open 
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{somechars}.default\extensions\pencil
@evolus.vn\chrome\content\Exporter\OOConversionExporter.js with your favorite 
editor
7) Delete line 39 ("unoconv",)
8) Change line 37 "-c", to the path where you saved unoconv on step 4 (example: 
"d:\\unoconv")
9) Now Pencil say "Export successful" but their is no file.

I fetch a screenshot of the convertion. On screenshot i see the error message 
"unoconv: you have to provide a filename as argument". Now i checked the normal 
ODT-Export, this create a buggy file. :(

Hope this helps somebody.

I got it to work by trying out comment #24 above slightly differently, as 
follows:

1) Have some kind of python executable around; I happen to have LibreOffice 
installed (UNO is included default)
2) Download unoconv from http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
3) Extract file "unoconv" from this archive
4) In Pencil: Settings=>Options=>Document Exporter=>Path to UNO converter = 
C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3\program\python.exe
5) Make sure to have some Pencil HTML templates already installed 
(Tools=>Manage Export Template=>Install New Template...); they can be 
downloaded from http://pencil.evolus.vn/en-US/Downloads/Templates.aspx
6) in Windows XP, Open %Documents and Settings%\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{somechars}.default\extensions\pencil@evolus.vn\ch
rome\content\Exporter\OOConversionExporter.js with your favorite editor
7) Don't delete anything, just change the path var in line 30 to point to the 
folder in which the unoconv file in #3 resides:

        var path = Config.get("export.oo.converter.uno.path", "C:\unoconv-extract\");

When doing an export, I chose Single Web Page, All pages in the document, and 
made sure to choose one of the templates installed in #5; I briefly saw a 
SYSTEM ERROR! message, but then the "Document has been exported; location: " 
message appears, and it did generate the desired html content to the directory 
I chose.

I have got around this problem by using SnagIt to capture my drawings and then 
placing them into my word design documents as images.

Export the document as a PNG to your desktop.  Right-click on the PNG and 
convert to Adobe PDF.

I used Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I'm assuming you can probably use another Free 
PDF creation software to do the same.

I have the same problem and I cann't sort out using the pencil firefox plugin. 
However it is easy to create a word document, just exporting in html default 
(html default template) and open the index.html page with Microsoft word. In 
this way you can see the pages images and save the document as a .doc file. The 
only problem is you loose the links in images :(
