How to call pdf files from oracle forms

I have a pdf file in the server , I need to call this and open when a button is pressed in the oracle forms.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks,
Previn

Frank,
I have oracle applications and I want to open a pdf file located in the server from a button in oracle applications.
Previn,
you don't mention the Forms release you are running.
If you are running Forms on the web, you can use
web.show_document() to load files from the Web if
they are accessible via HTTP.

  • How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

    Hi,
    We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
    Thanks for the help.
    Viishnu Nekkanti

    In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
    webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

    assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
    - To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
    a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
    Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
    -. Run the Form

    How to upload pdf file from windows cell phone?

    You can do this in steps.. First use the built in method for uploading a file into the flows files object, Next you would copy the file out to an Oracle built directory on your UNIX box using utl_file.put_raw..

  • Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

    Hello all,
    Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
    I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
    NLS parameters are set like this
    server:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
    NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
    NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
    client:
    NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
    NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
    NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
    When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
    I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
    Martin

    Hi Sergiusz,
    Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
    1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
    2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
    3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
    [ PDF:Embed ]
    Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
    ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
    4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
    I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
    Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!
