Editing a downloaded document "in place" and re-uploading it

We're using the following procedure to download a document that has previously been uploaded to a BLOB field in the table.
create or replace procedure download_doc (req_id in varchar2) as
v_mime varchar2(48);
v_length number;
v_file_name varchar2(2000);
v_blob blob;
begin
select resp_mime_type, resp_doc_content, resp_doc_name, dbms_lob.getlength (resp_doc_content)
into v_mime, v_blob, v_file_name, v_length
from <tablename>
where id = req_id;
owa_util.mime_header (nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE);
htp.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
htp.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || v_file_name || '"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (v_blob);
end;
The issue we're running into, is that when a user wants to download a document, the user is presented with the choice of opening or saving the downloaded document. That works OK, but what we'd really like to do is offer the user a chance to edit the downloaded document and then by saving the changes (such as by closing the window in which the downloaded document appears, after making edits), the modified document is "re-uploaded" to the database. What we have to do now is save the download document to the user's PC, then the user has to open the document and modify it, save it, and re-upload it to the database.
Any ideas on how we can save the users a few steps and upload the document directly after editing? Thanks.

Then the answer is no. The file needs to be saved down to CS5.5 or exported as IDML from CS6.

  • I want to edit a downloaded document. Can anyone recommend a program to do this. Thank you

    Hi I am new to macs. Like I said above I want to edit a downloaded document. Can anyone recommend a good programme to do this. Thanks

    there are 1000's of document formats in the world
    so it really comes down to what type you wish to edit
    if I were you then I would checkout libre office and maybe iworks

  • Edit a downloaded document

    I downloaded a lease/rental form off the internet and wish to be able to edit it.  Not sure how to make the document editable.  Thanks  Using OS X 10.6.8

    Dennis,
    What is the 3 letter extension to the lease form? It will be something like:
    lease.pdf
    lease.doc
    lease.docx
    My first guess is it's a PDF document, but without knowing what editing you wish to do it's very difficult to help you. If by editing you mean to simply fill out the form then some PDF's are designed to do that by simply typing in fields that need to be completed. If by editing  you mean to modify words or  phrases then you will need to buy a PDF editor. You can find many in the Mac App Store by searching for a PDF Editor.

  • Since updates my printing for emails and downloaded documents is miniscule and showing landscape, so how do I reset this to print the page as it appears?

    Whenever I print something from online or from a document, I do not have an option to change from landscape back to portrait. I also have miniscule print that is all squished to the left margin and printed on landscape. I cannot use this in business transactions and this has been occuring since an upgrade this fall. Also, I have started using netflix with this computer FYI.
    I do not have this problem with Safari as a browser. I really like Firefox because I feel it has kept our PCs here at home safer as well as my MACBOOK.
    Please tell me how I can change settings back to what they originally were for data going to my HP printer 3745.
    Thank you

    I've had that same exact issue, I received the first e-mail claiming to be from Apple last night (though over the past week I've received two other scam e-mails from different addresses claiming that my bank transactions have been aborted). It said it was from my own address, and I checked it closely to make sure it wasn't a spoof account but found it was indeed my own e-mail address. Five minutes ago I changed my password, and I have just now received a second e-mail exactly the same, still coming from my own account. My best guess at an explanation is that it may have been sent before I changed my password and there was just a delay in the message sending, resulting in it coming through after changing my password.
    I've now forwarded the e-mail on as an attachment to the [email protected] address, however this still doesn't help me with regards to stopping these e-mails. It concerns me that even though I changed my password they still possibly have access to my account. I tried checking my account activity but as opening the mail app on my iPhone is considered as a log in and I check it almost twice an hour, it's impossible to tell which could possible be an intruder logging in.

  • Download a file, Modify and again Uploading

    Hi all,
    I am downloading a table from SAP into a excel using gui_download using the FM in following way
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        filename                = 'C:/test.xls'
        write_field_separator   = 'X'
      changing
        data_tab                = iexcel.
    Where iexcel contains all the SAP table contents
    This is working absolutely fine . Later on I am modifying the the downloaded file  and trying to upload using the FM
    SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT
    Now the problem is
    The  EXCEPTIONS
        CONVERSION_FAILED = 1       "
    So I am getting conversion failed error.
    What is the problem in this approach .. and is gui_download giving me .xls only ???

    Hi venk,
    What is the problem in this approach .. and is gui_download giving me .xls only ???
    Answer for your above mentioned question,
    GUI_DOWNLOAD will download in all format , which ever format your are mentioning in
    filename = 'C:/test.xls' , If you want you can download it in .txt as well and use GUI_UPLOAD for upload the XLS ,
    And answer for your issue:
    Check this [Thread|GUI_UPLOAD for excel?; too.

  • Can you save a document in Pages and then upload it to a website?

    In other words, can I create a word document in Pages on the iPad and save it somewhere (?) and then go to a site and use its upload feature, ie Browse for a document, and then send it to the site.
    (Right now, the "Choose File" button on the site I want to use is grayed out on my iPod Touch)

    I have the same need as vudean. I don't understand the security issue. If I type a document using Pages or whatever, why can't I upload the document to a web site? I think Apple should make the standard web "file upload control" available to iPad users.
    I understand that there should be some limitations, but it should be possible to upload standard user files. I can upload them to Dropbox, so I don't se the big difference.
    Does Apple read this? If not, where can I propose this feature to them?

  • Editing and uploading a downloaded document

    Have an application that allows for both uploads of documents (using a File Browse item and transferring the relevant fields from the HTMLDB_APPLICATIION_FILES view to my customized table) and downloads of documents (using a call via a URL to a customized copy of the Oracle download procedure presented in the sample application). Both the upload and download process work OK.
    The issue I'm running into, is that when a user wants to download a document, the user is presented with the choice of opening or saving the downloaded document. That works OK, but what we'd really like to do is offer the user a chance to edit the downloaded document and then by saving the changes (such as by closing the window in which the downloaded document appears, after making edits), the modified document is "re-uploaded" to the database.

    Well, you can only do that when the content being edited is plain text (mime type text/plain) and less than 32K (hard limit in PL/SQL)
    Looking at how that page (4000:46) is built in f4000.sql, there seem to be some APIs that do some magic
    l_text := wwv_flow_utilities.clob_to_varchar2(
      wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(p_blob=>l_blob,p_charset=>l_charset));Clearly, all these are undocumented internal-only Oracle APIs that Oracle is not obliged to support.
    Search around on asktom.oracle.com, I am sure you will find code examples that do this sort of thing.
    Hope this helps.

  • Document changes place in meeting workspace

    We have a recurring events meeting workspace in SharePoint 2010. If we upload the document for some date, this document is found on that meeting events folder in document library. But after some days that document changes place and it is found in the first
    meeting event's folder. This is very random behaviour.
    Any idea on this issue?

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that Document is
     moved from one meeting event’s folder to the first meeting event’s folder in your meeting workspace.
    I try to reproduce your scenario in my SharePoint 2010 environment but it is fine. For your issue, you can go to your meeting workspace document library -> document library settings -> advanced settings,
    clear the Custom Send to Destination setting.
    If your issue persists, you can delete the recurring event and re-create it with workspace and see the result.
    Here is a blog you can have a look:

    I have a PC desktop and an iPad.  I have a large library of PDF documents on my desktop that I would like to sync with my iPad.  I would like to be able to download new PDF's and make edits on existing PDF's on either device and have those edits and new PDFs synced to the other device.  I would also like to have my library available on the iPad even if there isn't a wifi connection (i.e., not on the cloud).  Is that possible.  I don't mind if I have to purchase a separate product or a product upgrade ect.

    You can't use an external hard drive like you would with a computer.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
    When you first connect the USB flash drive, you will only see thumbnails of the pics on the iPad; you have to import the pic file to see the full size. With your large library of pics, you will have to do this repeateably and then delete pics so you don't exceed your memory capacity.

  • Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application.

    Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

    As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

  • How to prevent editing a SharePoint site column value from document properties view of a downloaded document?

    Hi,
    We have created a SharePoint site column with below settings
    1. ShowInEditForm - False
    2. ShowInNewForm - False
    3. ShowInDisplayForm - True
    With the above definition, the site column showing only in view properties form not in New and Edit forms.  This column is added to a document library and updating this column value will be managed by event receiver code when a document is uploaded.
    Till this point, everything is working OK.
    But the issue is when we download and open a document from the above document library, under document properties the above column (with value) is visible along with other document default properties and  this column value is editable. With this issue,
    user is able to set a new value and overwrite the existing value by re-uploading the document.
    Could you please let me know how to handle this issue so that user should not be allowed to edit except viewing the value/property (read only)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Ramesh

    You can set "ShowInFileDlg" property of field to "FALSE". Using this you will not see that field in document properties list

  • Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iphone?

    Can I download my data from an iphone to another device, edit it and then upload it back to the iPhone?
    I want to free up memory?

    IT depends on what "data" you are asking about.
    if you are having storage issues on your phone, I would be happy to make suggestions.
    You can store pictures and documents in Dropbox or Google drive.  These are cloud storage apps that keep your information stored off the phone, but available any time.  You can send pages documents to either app in a different format for editing.
    make sure you delete old messages, phone logs, email, as they take up space also.
