Display PDF Documents Stored In Database

Hi
I apologise that this question has been asked many times, but I just do not seem to be able to find answer to my question in many other posts over the years.
We have pdf documents stored in database and wish for client to view from forms session.
I am able to use webutil_file_transfer.DB_To_Client_With_Progress to transfer to client and open using client_host('cmd /c start '||TheFile);
I am also able to view pdf documents stored on application server using web.show_document.
What I would prefer to do is:
1. Transfer file from database to application server (This is bit I cannot figure out)
2. Display from application server using web.show_document
3. Delete temporary file from application server (Also unsure how to do this)
Our users have thin clients and so in many cases do not have access or unsure where can access to store temporary file if use transfer to client method. Wish to keep temporary file activity on application server.

You can combine the methods in WEBUTIL. Check this Re: Forms 10G - Saving Blob on Application Server using Java.

Displaying PDF files (stored as BLOBs in Database) using Forms 6i

Hi,
We have PDF and Word documents stored in Database (Version 8.1.7). We are using Oracle Forms 6i as User Interface. Through Forms we could view word documents which are stored in database, using OLE container.
But we could not view PDF files.
It would be more helpful and valuable if I get ideas/suggestions on this.
Thanks in advance,
Umasankar

Frank,
You are correct, I totally agree with you.
TOAD software which i suggested was not for user interface but more for testing purpose - To ensure that the documents is uploaded to BLOBS correctly.
I am not a WEB person, but I believe sugnificant coding is required in forms6i/9i with WEB features to display the respective documents.
If, the purpose in ONLY for testing, then TOAD can be used which requires no coding.

I can not open PDF document stored in Google drive

I have down loaded Adobe PDF reader APP (Touch Type) but it is not opening my PDF documents stored in my google drive. It tells me error 403 (forbidden). Could some one explain how I can solve this problem.
Thanks.
Rajinder Kanda

It depends on how you open the PDF documents that are stored in Google Drive.
Do you access Google Drive via the web browser? Or do you have a sync client app installed on your device? Adobe Reader Touch itself does not display the error 403 (forbidden).
Could you describe the steps that you used to open one of the PDF documents from Google Drive? How did you choose Adobe Reader Touch to open it?

Problems while reading and displaying .pdf-Documents from Bfile

Hi
I want to read and display .pdf-Documents in Adobe-Reader that are stored as BFile. While displaying the Document Adobe Reader is showing several Errors like " ..less Picture-Data read than expected.. ". Is this a Buffer-Problem? or whatelse ??
Thanks for help

PrintStream wr = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
wr.close();I suspect this is the problem. You could try socket.shutdownOutput() - or you could just leave the streams alone and let socket.close() shut things down.

Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser. Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior. Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am out of the office until 1/22/13.

Display PDF document from Servlets to browser - how 2 change the title

Hi, need help of changing the html title when Display PDF document from Servlets to browser. By default the browser's title shows the obsolute URL where the rdf comes from (i.e. http://www.google.com/sample.pdf), because servlet responds a binary data (PDF), there seems to be no other way to change the browser's title to fit my own choice.
Appreciate your quick help,

You can try and check with
.setTitle("Welcome");

I have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pcthat I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not cBooking referenceonnected to a network.

i have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pc that I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not connected to a network. Does anyone know a solution. Eg maybe card reader and a app.

Those devices have mixed results depending on the application. If the application does not support the device, then you are out of luck. There is no file manager in IOS to allow you to move files between folders because there are no folders that you can access. An app has to specifically support a storage location to access files.
It's not that bad. The app has to have the ability to accept data from another app. The latest memory dongles come with an ios app to access the external storage. You then transfer the pdf from dongle's app to your app. If your app can accept data from dropbox, it will be able to accept data from the memory dongle app.

Display PDF document from Servlets to browser

Hi All,
I am displaying a PDF document in Servlet after reading the stream. PDF size is of more than 3MB, so it takes a lot of time to get downloaded and to display on the browser.
Is there anyway to display the initial pages to the browser (whatever data has been sent ). Can you please help me in this.
Please treat it as urgent
Thanks in advance,
Purav

I have to ask:
Why are you trying to pump a PDF to the client? Is it stored in a database rather than to the file system? Or...are you trying to display a PDF file in HTML format so end users don't need Acrobat?
If neither of these is the case, couldn't you just send a response.redirect("path to PDF file") and get the same result without all the headache?
If case 1 (the PDF is stored in the database and not the filesystem), you may want to ask why? You could simply create a table that maps some document_id to a local file path. That way if you need to delete it or change it, you know what and where it is.
If case 2 (you want to read a PDF and display as HTML to the client) you should use a parser like:

connection) to the document in the oracle database with the
link.All the documents are stored in database.So for example if a
user clicks on a link on flex frontend screen it needs to open a
pdf file whihc is stored in database.So can you please post me the
connection details as how flex calls java and inturn java calls
backend to get the document from database.I am using flex,Spring
and hibernate frameworks for the application..

Let's start with the basics:
Do you already have an understanding of how you'd perform
these steps if
Flex were not involved (i.e. some sort of static or dynamic
html page in the
browser)?

Saving a WORD or PDF document in the database?

Hello,
If I have a WORD document, PDF document or EXCEL document. How can I save them in the database? What type of LOB I should use.
What I would like to do is have a webpage with a text box and a browse button. The user can then use the browse buttton to find the file and have its location inserted into the text box. Then the user can click another button to add the file to the database.
Once the file is in the database - I also want to have an update page where the user can change the files saved in the database or delete them also
Thanks
Doug

Well, Word and Excel documents are binary, so you will need a Binary LOB (BLOB).
I have recently been storing/retrieving BLOBs through ASP/ADO . . .
BLOBs are limited to 4GB, but ADO has a limit of 2GB. Hopefully, that will not be a problem.
If you are using ODBC, then be aware that you need to enable LOBs by setting LOB=T in the connection string. If you are using ODBC with stored procedures, then there is a bug that causes the LOBs to be truncated to 32K, which is fixed in 9.2.0.6.5. A colleague tells me that the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle works with LONGs but not with LOBs.
If you are using OleDB with stored procedures, then you'll need to set the "SPPrmsLOB" property to TRUE.
When uploading BLOBs through ADO, you need to set the parameter size to 1 higher than the actual size, otherwise you get an error.
When retrieving the BLOBs through stored procedures as OUT parameters, you need to set the parameter size to larger than the BLOB, otherwise it gets truncated. I do not like having to specify 2GB for a file that might only be 32K, so I prefer to return a record set via a REF CURSOR.

Displaying Word Document from a Database

Let me try to explain this.
I can upload and store a Word Document in an Oracle database
(BLOB column) but now I need to extract that Word document and
place a pointer to it on the Web. Can someone explain to me how
this is done?
I'm trying to do something like have an image displayed on
the Web and when you click on it the Word Document is opened.
Follow me on that? So, if there are 15 Word documents in the
database, then the web page would have 15 images all pointing to
each separate Word document.
Has anyone done this?

Don't take my word on this, but I think this should work;
I've done this in the past to send dynamically-generated CSV files
to the user, which is in a way (at least at the perspective of
what's being outputted to the user) the same thing.
First, obviously, you need to retrieve the Word document data
from the database. We'll say you put that in a variable called
'wordDoc'.
<cfset wordDoc = someQuery.wordDataObj />
Next, we need to set the 'Content-disposition' HTTP header,
to tell the client's browser that we're sending a file, and that we
want you to call it somefile.doc by default. We'll do this with the
<cfheader> tag (note that if you use <cfflush> in the
application, this tag (and thus, this approach)
will not work.
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename=somefile.doc" />
Almost there. Now we need to set the Content-type HTTP
header, to tell the browser what kind of data is coming, and then
give it the actual file data. We'll use the <cfcontent> tag
to do both of these things.
<cfcontent type="application/msword"
reset="yes">#wordDoc#</cfcontent><cfabort>
If memory serves, this should be all you need. Note the
<cfabort> after the closing <cfcontent> tag, I've had
problems in the past with additional output on the page after these
tags being appended to what gets sent to the browser, so I use a
<cfabort> afterwards to make sure nothing more gets sent
after the data we want. Also, at least with CFMX7, I've noticed
that debugging output tends to get added in too regardless, so I
typically put a <cfsetting showdebugoutput="false" /> at the
top of the file, too.
I can't guarantee this will work, I haven't tested this
particular situation, but if it doesn't, it ought to be close. Let
me know if I'm wrong.
Attached is what should be the code without my commentary /
rambling interspersed.

Display PDF document in Flex Windows application

How do I display PDF document as single pages on iPad?

Hi,
I have a company catalogue in PDF format, 20 pages long. We use Issuu to allow customer to view the catalogue on their PCs and mobile devices.
In Issuu you can customise the embed widget to show single pages, and this works fine when viewing the catalogue on a PC. The problem arises when trying to view the catalogue on an iPad. It appears that the iPad automatically sets the PDF to view as a Facing Pages document. It doesn't matter if I'm using Safari, or the Atomic browser we have installed (so that we can hide the URL bar).
I've created the document in inDesign as a single page document but the iPad still merges pages 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 etc.
The iPads will be used in our retail stores so it's important that the set up and navigation is as simple as possible. The catalogue is placed within an iFrame on the page so that I can but a navigational banner at the top that easily takes customers back to the main menu page. It's important that the catalogue opens within the page. The Issuu embed widget for Tumblr, etc only creates a preview of the catalogue which then opens in a separate tab, which unfortunately will not be suitable to our needs.
You can view the page here: http://www.eurocollections.com/block/catalogue.html
I've tried a number of different options, I've written to Issuu but they were unable to help as it only seems to be an iPad-related problem.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter

The PDF viewers on the iPad do not understand customised widgets. They understand the PDF format, exactly as it was designed by Adobe. Instead of trying to use a custom solution, use the features which are provided by the PDF format. Custom solutions work only for the situations that the company that wrote the custom solution wants them to work and they are a corruption of the normal way PDFs are used.
In your situation I'd remove all dependency on any custom widgets from your PDF document. Instead you can use links which allow you to click on a piece of text or an image in the PDF and the PDF software will take you to a different page. This is part of the PDF standard and will work on all software capable of showing PDFs. It is all your users should need to navigate from one part of your catalogue to another. Whatever software you're using to create your PDF should give instructions on how to create links in your PDF document.
Similarly your use of iFrames is a little stange. If your material is on a web site, put it in web pages where you can use all the features web pages give you, including blue-underlined links to other pages. If, instead, your material is in a PDF then put all the navigation in the PDF. Don't try to depend on a strange interaction between the PDF and your web pages.

Problems in displaying .pdf documents

Hi there,
I have problems in displaying .pdf files on MacBookPro. Everytime I open an .pdf file in Acrobat Reader or any Browser, the application closes after 5-10 seconds. I don't get any error messege, the file and the application i opened it with just close. I already reinstalled Acrobat Reader twice, but no success. Does any body have advice what could be causing this problem and how to solve this?
Thanks and Regards,
Philipp

Welcome to the Forums!
What version of Adobe Reader are you trying to install? I have 8.1.2 and it runs fine, although I don't usually use it, nor do I have it set as the default browser pdf viewer.
Not sure what the issues are with Adobe Reader, but is Preview (Apple's viewer application, which displays pdfs) inadequate for some reason?
