Metrics for PDF download in OBIEE

Hi,
Is there a way to capture metrics for "how many times a PDF file is downloaded?"
in OBIEE.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Go to edit your report,
look at your PDF Control setting and use below syntax this will give u no of pages for each report
Sample report name @{pageNumber} of @{numberOfPages}

Firefox will not remember to use Reader for PDF downloads

When using Gmail, I have an email with PDF attachments. For each PDF attachment, there are 3 options: Use the built-in reader, download, or copy to Google Drive. When I select download, the popup says "You have chosen to open:..." and then offers two selections: "Open with" and "Save File". Previously, the "Open with" option would remember that I wanted to use Reader with PDF file. It will no longer does that. I have to browse and find Reader each time, even though I've clicked "Do this automatically". Each time I do browse to Reader, it will use it. It simply won't remember to use Reader the next time. Under Options-Application, it does say that for PDF files, it should "Use Adobe Reader". I have reinstalled Firefox, along with making sure the profile folders in my application data were deleted, so this is a clean version.

Oh boy....turns out it is OK, it's just not obvious.
Even though the download pop-up lists no application next to "Open with" (which I'm pretty sure it used to), it WILL use Reader when I click the OK button.
Another odd thing: When the popup window is not active, as if when I'm using the Snipping Tool to get a snapshot, the OK button is grayed out (that sure doesn't help when trying to get help from you guys), but when it is active, it is not grayed out and is the default button.

Call to predefined Report Query for PDF download does nothing

I am trying to download a PDF report which is based upon 2 queries. Each query has a where clause with values taken from page items. I have installed OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 and used the OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 Word plug-in to create the RTF file that I then uploaded to the Shared Components->Report Layout.
I created a new region button to call the Report Query. However, whenever I click on the button to download the PDF, nothing happens. I have looked at the debug and the button appears to be executing OK, except that nothing happens.
The APEX to OBIP configuration is working since I am able to have OBIP generate other report PDFs that aren't using the predefined query. Stated a bit differently, reports regions that have the Print Attributes set to "Enable Report Printing=Yes" and "Report Layout=Default Report Layout" work fine. Reports based upon the predefined query and launched using a region button do not do anything.
Environment: APEX 4.1, DB 11.2.0.2, OBIP 11.1.1.5
Any help with this PDF issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reid

Thank you again for your reply, Udo.
Here are my responses:
* As a matter of fact, I am doing a copy / paste from the predefined query to the report region source.
** What exactly do you mean by that? Don't you print the actual region?
I need to produce a PDF that is the compilation of 4-5 queries. Therefore, I cannot print a region to PDF since APEX (as far as I know) does not allow for the printing of multiple regions (1 query per region) to a single PDF file. So, I am creating a PDF that is based upon multiple queries which I predefine in the shared components -> report queries. Then, I'm creating a region button that calls a downloadable report when it is clicked.
Your question has made me realize that indeed it doesn't matter what query I have in the report region since I am calling a predefined report. When nothing was happening when I attempted to generate the PDF, I guess I started to think that the problem was with the queries on the page and so I made them match exactly with what the queries are in the shared components->report queries.
Please advise if something is wrong with my understanding here.
I checked the OBI Publisher logs (at least what I could locate) and I didn't see anything show up there.
/u02/app/ohs/obip_mw/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
I checked the OHS access_log and I didn't see anything that looks like an error. I also don't see anything in the APEX page debug. It appears to process normally when the button is clicked.
From the access_log:

How can I get rid of the vuzit application for pdf downloads and, instead, use Acrobat?

When I try to access a document that is in pdf, I always end up having to wait for the vuzit nitro pdf reader. I usually end up switching to Safari or Chrome to avoid waiting and trying to use this program which seems to serve no useful purpose.
How can I switch the preference to Adobe Acrobat? I have tried using the Firefox preferences for this with no luck.

I have eventually uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it.
I lost all bookmarks and passwords, but I have not (yet?) heard of VUZIT again.

Adobe icon for pdf download does not appear on a website w/ FF, but does w/ IE,AOL, Chrome. Why?

Have been accessing monthly statements for more than a year, by clicking on the adobe icon in the download statement column, most recently in mid September, 2010. On October 4 I attempted to access September's info and the icon did not appear. I went thru tech support for the site and it was suggested that it could be a flash problem. We tried several corrections, reloading Adobe flash, checking pop up blocker,etc. When Chrome was loaded and the icons appeared, it was determined that the problem was thru FF. I later tried successful access with IE and AOL.
Since I had been successful for so long thru FF, what might have caused FF to fail in this small but important function? Other than usual updates, nothing was done on my part that should have affected my FF browser.

Are you using the official Adobe website to download Flash?

I am getting a message that my complementary use period for "pdf complete" is expired. Must I buy "pdf complete" to continue to download pdf files? I didn't download anything on my previous macbook pro to download pdf files, and I definitely didn't pay for pdf downloading software.

PDF Complete is not necessary. Apple's Preview application and Adobe's Acrobat Reader (both free) are all most people need for pdfs.
If you want to create pdf documents there are any number of applications for it. Easiest might be to just print to pdf, (File menu > Print > PDF button) in many applications.
Best of luck.

Having "Download" Button/Image to download in OBIEE Dashboard

Hi Experts,
Here is what I want..
In OBIEE Reports we Cllick Download & select its subcategories to download the data in that format (eg. download to excel, pdf, text). Instead of user looking out for the download link in the bottom of the Dashboard & then selecting one of its subcategories, I want to place an image for different downloads.
Just like in any webpages we would have a "Printer" image/gif embedded in the page, clicking on which it will prompt us to print, I want to use such images to download the data.
For Excel download I would place an "Excel" image/icon on top of the dashboard, for PDF download I would place "PDF" image/icon/gif on the dashboard. When the user clicks the appropriate image he should get the "Open, Save, Cancel" window prompt to download the data in that format.
Let me know if we can achieve this in OBIEE. Also pls let me know the javascript to be written & where I have to place the image.
Cheers
Venky

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I bought a pdf book last year and had no problem reading it for a few months then all of a sudden I could no longer open it and to this day. Any other pdf download off internet I can still open and read, except for that particular book. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium, Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07. When trying to open file I get msg "You did'nt login or your session has expired. Please log in to read this document for the first time". (Like I said I have read it before). So I log in but that prompts me to give the name of the file I want to export or convert to Word or something else, which is not what I want to do of course. I have not purchased any service from Adobe or Acrobat as I only need to read. Thanks for your help..

PDF download worked in FFox3 but not in 4. Do I have to wait for a new plug in for PDF files?

I was downloading monthly statements from mutual fund firms. Firefox 4.0 worked fine with the T Rowe Price web site (they must not do anything tricky), but does not work with Fidelity. Firefox doesn't seem to recognize that what Fidelity is offering is really a PDF file. I tested the same action with my same computer and Safari as the browser which worked fine, and I tested the same action with my same computer and Firefox 3.6.16 and it, too, worked fine. Your help screen for PDF files suggest I download "Firefox PDF plugin extension" but when I get there, it says a version for FFox 4 is not available. I probably have that added to my 3.6.16 version and that's why it works there. So I guess I just have to use a different browser until that plugin is available. But it is another puzzle why TRowePrice makes it work with 4.0 and Fidelity doesn't.
Do you have a better suggestion than "just wait" ?

I have never herd of Verizon adding an additional account especially since new account required both a credit check and your signature. Anyway this is a customer to customer forum so I'm not sure how you expect other customers to help you.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

I download itext for convert jsp to PDF. How to set content type for PDF.

I download itext for convert jsp to PDF. How to set content type for PDF. I try
<%@ page contentType = "application/pdf;charset=TIS-620" %>
, but the page does not PDF.
Thank.

PDF files are usually binary files, JSPs are not well-suited for binary content.
(If you download the result of your JSP you'll see that it is not a valid PDF file; it will have probably a lot of whitespace and linefeeds, that will choke your PDF reader.). The first few characters must be
"%PDF-" without whitespace.
You can try using PDF files encoded as text - check if you can use text-encoded PDFs in iText.
Try using a Servlet instead.
