Base64 Encoding of PDF file existing in file system

Hello,
I need your help in finding the best way to read a file in PDF format that is in the file system of the oracle application server from the oracle database server.
From a stored procedure in database, I need to read the PDF file and get its data to binary 64 text.
I need to use PL/SQL, what are your recomendations, any sample?
Thanks.

Did you try google?

File exists/Modified file

I was hoping someone could point me out in the right direction. I need to first test if the file exists and if it exists then test to see when it was last modified. If the file was modified within a certain time frame then that calls the function.
if "file" exists
if "file" was modified within timeframe
then function

java.io.File has the methods u are after!

Check if file exists in file receiver adapter

hello,
we have following scenario -> proxy to file
before appending to the file, it should be copied/renamed to a "tmp" file
xi should then append to that tmp file and copy/rename the file back to the normal name
I tried it with "Run operating system command before message processing" but
it's not working
anybody has an example on how to use those settings before/after message processing ?
regards,
michel

Hi Michel,
little confused,
1) before message processing do there any file exists?
2) why should we change file name to 'tmp' and append data to that and again rename that file ?
con't we directly proceed in append mode with file name?
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands then
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt & mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
        or
      cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
      mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Include all ur command in one file and call that file in the OS parameter

Checking file exist using file exist operator

Hi all,
My environment is owb 9i. DB is oracle 9.2.0.8
My business requirement is,
If file exists in the landing directory the next instant my mapping should start execution other wise it should wait untill the file arrives there.
How could i achive this functionality???
For this i am utilizing the file exist operator in process flow.
When the file exists in the specified directory i am able to execute the process flow quite fine but when the file doesnt exist in the specified directory the file exist operator is in wait state and even after when the file is placed into the directory, still the process flow remains in the wait state.
please suggest me a way.
thanks in advance.
ram.

Hi Ram,
The problem you are hitting here is that there is no wait activity and no loop activity (yet) in the process flow editor. So it is hard to model this logically.
Would it be a good idea to write shell script that does similar things? You could check for a file, pauze and check again. Then error out or succeed...
In the 10gR2 release of OWB you can completely model this using waits and loops.
Thanks,
Jean-Pierre

Check file existance in operating system

Dear Collegues,
Is there any function in oracle that checks a file existance located on local disk of windows computers?
Like i have created a file c:\test.txt and i want to check through oracle function that this file exists or not.
Regards,
Imran Baig

Is there any function in oracle that checks a file
existance located on local disk of windows
computers?Let's see if I understand the question correctly ...
- You have two computers.
- One is a client, the other is a database server.
- You want to use an Oracle function, therefore you want to issue a request to the database server, asking the server if a file exists on the client.
Is that correct?
If it is correct, please tell us how the server mounts, or otherwise looks at, the client's disk? Once we have that answer, we might be able to answer your question ...

Problem with base64 encoding an xml file with accented characters

Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 Enterprise Edition running under windows 2003 server
DB Characterset UTF-8
I have a routine which takes an xml file and base64 encodes it, and the base64encoded text is stored in a clob column of a table.
The xml file is stored in UTF-8 format.
The routine works correctly, except when there are accented characters.
I am using dbms_lob.loadclobfrom file to load the file.
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(src_clob, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
 DBMS_LOB.LoadCLOBFromFile(
 DEST_LOB => dest_clob
 , SRC_BFILE => src_clob
 , AMOUNT => DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(src_clob)
 , DEST_OFFSET => dst_offset
 , SRC_OFFSET => src_offset
 , BFILE_CSID =>dbms_lob.default_csid
 , LANG_CONTEXT => lang_ctx
 , WARNING => warning
 DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(src_clob);base 64 encoded xml with accented character -- incorrect

Since Firefox 4, I can get a background image to work using base64 encoded, but not a local file, this worked in Firefox 3, how do I resolve this.

Using either of the 4 examples shown below, to have a background image display inside about:blank worked in Firefox 3.x (using Stylish add-on), however since Firefox 4, only using the base64 encoded version of images works. Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to encode every image I wish to use? Encoding the image makes the stylish file absolutely huge, & a real pain to keep encoding whenever I want to change the image.
body:empty { background: url("resource:/res/images/OnFire.jpg")
body { background-image: url("resource:/res/images/OnFire.jpg")
body:empty { background:url("data:
body { background-image: url("data:
I've also previously disabled most of the add-ons, except for Status-4-Evar, Stylish, & Firebug, in an attempt to see if something else was interfering, but no change.
I can supply a copy of the previously working (FF 3.x) code to some of the about:blank styles if needed for testing purposes.

Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open the '''Add-ons Manager.'''

File saveAsOpen and Base64 encoding...

In order to send the activeDocument to a web service, i need to save is as a file image, and send in an xml format.
Thus, i also need to encode it in Base64.
At this point everything is OK.
But between the saveAs of the file, its reopening, and its encoding, its corrupted.
I receive an error on the Mongrel server.
The Base64 encoder seems to work well, the rest of the code seem to be also ok, so I think my problem is either I do not save it correctly, either i do not reopen it correctly...
Please save me :(
Here is the code :
 /* STEP 1 : save current document as image file (temporary) */
 var docRef = activeDocument;
 var filepath=app.path.toString()+"/"+docRef.name+".jpg";//create the image file in the installation folder of Photoshop
 var file = new File(filepath);
 //var options = new ExportOptionsSaveForWeb();
 //options.format = SaveDocumentType.PNG;
 var options = new JPEGSaveOptions();
 options.quality=8;
 docRef.saveAs (file, options, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
 //docRef.exportDocument (file, ExportType.SAVEFORWEB , options);
 file.close();
/* I code here dialogBox and httpCOnenction object creation
that do not need to be written here
(but if you think it's important, i can give you the full script)
 var f= new File(filepath);
 f.open();
 var buffer = f.read(f.length);
 f.close();
I build an HttpConnection object called "send"
*/ send.request='"+f.name+""+f.length+""+base64encode(buffer)+"';
Here is the Server error :

Decoding base64-encoded SSL files

There is a way to decode the base64 contents of .crt, .key, and .pem files to display human-readable text, but I can't remember how to do it. "base64 -d" doesn't work cause there's some garble in there. I think I used the openssl command for this. Anyone know?

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.madboa.com/geek/openssl/#cert-exam

Sending a PDF document as a file attachment

Hi,
I have encountered the following problem:
When attaching a pdf document to an email and sending it via Javamail, the resulting PDF document on the other end (i.e. when opened via an email client, such as Outlook) is corrupted and cannot be opened in Acrobar Reader. When doing a side by side comparison with the original file, the emailed document is 1 byte larger than the original (which can possibly cause the "corrupted file error").
Now, this is happening in my company's application and is happening to only one of our customers. This does not happen to 99.9% of them nor can we duplicate it. In addition, it does not happen to all PDF documents, only a few of them.
I have also ensured that our client has the latest version of Javamail and the activation framework jar files.
One thing I have noticed is that the documents are "encoded" as 7bit. This makes sense since the Javadocs explain that if a file is "US-ASCII only" it will be encoded as 7bit, otherwise it will be encoded as base64. Many of our PDF documents are text only.
My side question is, is there a way to force it to encode it as base64 for all pdf documents and would this help?
My main question is: Does anyone know what is happening and what I can do about it?
Anyway, here is the code fragment that does the attachment:
 for (int i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
 messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(attachments);
 messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource));
 String fileName = attachments[i].getName();
 messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
 multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
Where attachments is a File array.

Only one of your customers. And they can only handle base-64 encoding and not 7-bit encoding of mail messages.
We had the same thing. We send thousands of files every week using JavaMail, most of them PDFs and other files that are all text. Just one of our customers had some cruddy mail handler they had written themselves, or something like that, and it only liked base-64 encoded messages. This was fine for them because MS Outlook automatically does that for attachments regardless, and everybody was using Outlook to send them files. Except us. So we had to set up a hokey scheme where we would send their messages to a local MS Exchange address and have them auto-forwarded to the customer's address. (I couldn't find any way to control base-64 versus 7-bit encoding.)
But that customer wasn't using Outlook to read the messages, so maybe that isn't the problem. We also had a supplier (fortunately an ex-supplier now) who we used to send zip files to (from Outlook even) and their mail server would insert extra line breaks into the attachment, thus making the zip file corrupted. Maybe something like that is happening.
We had another customer who used Lotus Notes as their mail server, and it couldn't deal with our plain ordinary PDFs either. But I think Notes must have had some bug fixes because I haven't heard about that problem lately.
Good luck.

Encode a PDF into base64 xml

Hi Pal,
There is a requirement to generate an Adobe Form using SAP Interactive forms, and then, send this PDF to a non-SAP system using Base-64 encoding. The receiving system will decode this file.
I have heard that this could be done in the PI layer, using the Conversion Agent.
Another approach which I can think of is convert PDF to binary and then use the cl_http_utility=>encode_base64 to convert binary to base64. howvere, I am unaware of how to convert PDF to binary.
Could someone guide me thorugh this please?
Thanks,
Preethi.

To convert a spool into a binary table, take a look here:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Convert%20Smartform%20to%20PDF%20format?bc=true
I've done a similar scenario, and i've developed the conversion on Abap side, with cl_http_utility=>encode_base64 method into an xstring field.
In your case, there's the Adobe I Form, than you need to save PDF file in a system's directory, you need to read the generated file, encode, and than send out.
You can also use Conversion Agent, and do the conversion in PI system.

Smartform : PDF to Base64 encoding

Hi .
I am new to ABAP & Smartform.I have a requirement to convert smartform PDF to Base 64.I've tried the methods provided in the related SDN threads.But while decoding , junk characters are coming.Please find my code below :

Hi,
Jayita2011 wrote:
LV_X = WA_PDF-TDLINE.
As WA_PDF-TDLINE is type C, and LV_X is type X, it does a conversion BUT it is not what you expect: LV_X = 'RMjlùIOJM%8RUZ3T', it will set LV_X = all zeroes as 'RM...' does not start with an hexadecimal string (and so base 64 would return AAAAAA). See the ABAP doc for more info.
Moreover, base 64 encoding must be done with the whole byte stream (more precisely you must not split it outside chunks of 3 bytes, as this encoding converts 3 bytes into 4 characters, converting 2 bytes makes no sense for example, except at the end of the stream).
I advise you to use CL_HTTP_UTILITY=>ENCODE_BASE64 which converts a string which is casted as bytes. Before, you must concatenate the lines into a string, either using CONCATENATE LINES OF lt_char INTO l_target RESPECTING BLANKS, or SWA_STRING_FROM_TABLE (keep_trailing_spaces='X') depending on your release. Don't forget to shorten the string at exactly the number of representative characters (LV_I in your example).

Here is the code I have now, which doesn't work...
Public Sub XML_Add_Child_Node_Group(Sample_ID As String, Which_Category As Integer)

 Dim Root_Node As XmlNode = XMLFile.SelectSingleNode("/Project_Data/Samples/[@ID='" & Sample_ID & "']")
 Dim Root_Element As Xml.XmlElement = CType(XMLFile.SelectSingleNode("/Project_Data/Samples/[@ID='" & Sample_ID & "']"), XmlElement)
 '1 = Add MC nodes

 Root_Element.AppendChild(NewNode)
 End Select
 '----Add entire tree.
 XMLFile.Save(Current_File.Current_File_Path)
 End Sub
No matter what, it will not add these nodes. Can anyone help me out? Thanks ahead of time...

fexists BOOLEAN;
flen NUMBER;
bsize NUMBER;

sys.utl_file.fgetattr('TMP_LOCATION', 'test.txt', fexists, flen, bsize);
IF fexists THEN

END fgetattr;
File Does Not Existmy directory.. CREATE or replace DIRECTORY tmp_location AS 'Server-1\configsheets\completed\pdf approved'

Good afternoon,
If you are loooking at a mapped drive, you can only see it if you change how the Oracle services start. You need to have them start with a specific user ID rather than starting as system services. The problem is that the system services cannot see mapped drives.
So, do this:
<li>Create a user to be used by Oracle services. Make sure they have the correct rights (I gave mine Server ADMIN so as to have all the access I needed)
<li>Log into the server and modify the services
<li>Click the 'Log On' tab and enter the account and password you created for the Oracle Processes
<li>Reboot the server, allowing the Oracle services to log in with this new ID.
This should then fix your problem.
Thanks,
Don.

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

How do I merge 2 pdf files into one file?

I use PrimoPDF (free download) to create pdf files. To merge two docs/pdfs/etc., print the first to a new pdf using Primo. Close it, then print the second and save it to the same new pdf. Primo gives you the option to 'append' or 'overwrite' the original file. By using 'append', you are just adding it to the back of the existing file. You can do this repeatedly to resort or combine existing pages into a new pdf.
Also, I'm using Adobe Reader X.
