Storing PDF file into DB & restoring back to Filesystem

Hi Everybody,
I need to store PDF files into Database (Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows NT). This I could do using DBMS_LOB Package. Now, my problem is bringing back the PDF files to OS filesystem.
I feel my problem will be solved if I have UTL_LOB Package Object in my Database. Where can I get the script or utility that installs the said Object in my Database. Kindly send me the script/utility if anybody has.
Thanks & Regards,
Durai.

  • Can no longer attach pdf files into email.

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 as the OS.  Seems that I am no longer able to attach PDF files into any email.  Any clues as to what has gone wrong?

    Thanks for the help.  Seems I had a failed Windows update several weeks past I had forgottent about.  Had to do a restore to the prior date to get back to the right configuration.  Did an online session with Mircosoft, reinitiated the update, and it seems as if the issue is resolved.  We were able to re-test attaching and send pdf files. Seems there is still some slight issue with IE, but you appear to be on the right track about focusing on Web Outlook if the problem continues to surface.  Thanks again.

  • 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.

  • How to batch upload PDF files into database BLOB

    Hello.
    I have a requirement to batch upload PDF files into BLOB column of an Oracle 8.1.7 table from Forms 6i Web. The content of the blob column (ie. the PDF content) MUST be displayable from all client software (eg. Oracle Web forms, HTML forms, etc.)
    Our environment is
    Middle-tier is 9iAS on Windows/2000
    Database is Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on VMS
    Oracle Web Forms 6i Patch 10
    Basically my Oracle web form program will display a list of PDF files to upload and then the user can click on the <Upload> button to do the batch upload. I have experimented the following approaches but with no luck.
    1. READ_IMAGE_FILE forms built-in = does NOT work because it cannot read PDF file. I got error FRM-47100: Cannot read image file
    2. OCX and OLE form item = cannot use this because it does NOT work on the Web. I got error FRM-41344 OLE object not defined
    3. I cannot use DBMS_LOB to do the load because the PDF files are not in the database machine.
    4. Metalink Note 1682771.1 (How to upload binary documents back to database blob column from forms). When I used this, I got ORA-6502 during the hextoraw conversion. In using this solution, I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site. I've noticed that when I looked at the converted HEX file, each line has the character : (colon) at the beginning of each line. I know the PDF file has been converted correctly to HEX format because when I convert the HEX file back to BIN format using hex2bin.exe, I'm able to display the converted bin file in Acrobat Reader. When I removed the : (colon) in the HEX file, I did NOT get the ORA-6502 error but I CANNOT display the file in Acrobat Reader. It gives an error "corrupted file".
    5. upload facility in PL/SQL Web toolkit - I tried to automatically submit the html form (with htp.p) but it does NOT load the contents of the file. I called the URL from Oracle forms using web.show_document. There seems to be issues with Oracle Web forms (JInitiator) and HTML (+ htp.p).
    The other options I can think of at this point are:
    1. Use SQL*Loader to do the batch upload via SQL*Net connection and use HOST() built-in from Oracle Webforms to execute SQL*Loader from the 9iAS.
    2. Write a Visual Basic program that reads a binary file and output the contents of the file into a byte array. Then build a DLL that can be called from Oracle webforms 6i via ORA_FFI. I don't prefer this because it means the solution will only work for Windows.
    3. Write a JSP program that streams the PDF file and insert the contents of the PDF file into blob column via JDBC. Call JSP from forms using web.show_document. With this I have to do another connection to the database when I load the file.
    4. Maybe I can use dbms_lob by using network file system (NFS) between the application server and VMS. But this will be network resource hungry as far as I know because the network connection has to be kept open.
    Please advise. Thank you.
    Regards,
    Armando

    I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site.
    ... each line has the character : (colon) at the
    beginning of each line. I'm afraid it isn't a correct utility. I hope you'll find the source code of a correct one at metalink forum:
    Doc ID: 368771.996
    Type: Forum
    Subject: Uploading Binary Files: bin2hex and hex2bin do not reproduce the same file
    There is some links to metalink notes and some example about working with BLOB at http://www.tigralen.spb.ru/oracle/blob/index.htm. Maybe it helps. Sorry for my English. If there is any problem with code provided there, let me know by e-mail.

  • How to merge the pdf files into single pdf?

    I need to merge the two (or) three pdf files into a single pdf via scripting. I used the below code for inserting(merging) the pages.
    this.insertPages({cPath: "Test.pdf"})
    But its merginging(inserting) successfully. But the links not working after inserting. kindly advise me the solution or any other ways.
    I am using Acrobat 8.0.
    Thanks in advance..

    http://gotofritz.net/blog/howto/joining-pdf-files-in-os-x-from-the-command-line/   <- this works but it strips OPI
    Here's what I did: (This is shell script)
    #!/bin/bash
    FROM="./"
    DESTINATION="./unCombined/"
    for i in $(ls *_F_ga.pdf)
              do
              BACK=`echo "$i" | sed "s/_F_/_B_/g"`
              if [ -f $BACK ] ; then
                        open "$i"
                        osascript selectMenuItem.scpt
                        sleep 3
                        mv -f "$FROM/$i" $DESTINATION
                        mv -f "$FROM/$BACK" $DESTINATION
              fi
    done
    This calls an applescript
    tell application "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "Acrobat"
                        click menu item "combine Front and Back" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
              end tell
    end tell
    Which activates a menu item (made with Java and saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
    app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "combineFB",
        cUser: "combine Front and Back",
        cParent: "File",
        cExec: "combineFrontAndBack()",
        nPos: 0
    Which activates this script (again saved into Macintosh\ HD/Users/*user*/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Acrobat/10.0/JavaScripts)
    combineFrontAndBack = app.trustedFunction(
    function(){
    // get the file name and extension
    var sFullFileName =  this.documentFileName
    // make into an arry
    var aFullFileName = sFullFileName.split('_F_');
    // build a file name array dropping the extension
    var aFileName = new Array(aFullFileName.length - 2);
    for (i = 0; i < aFullFileName.length - 1; i++) {
    aFileName[i] = aFullFileName[i];
    // recreate file name
    var sFileName = aFileName.join('.');
    var back = sFileName + "_B_ga.pdf";
    app.beginPriv(); // Explicitly raise privilege
    //add back page based on front page name
    this.insertPages ({
                        nPage: 0,
                        cPath: "/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + back,
                        nStart: 0
    this.saveAs("/Macintosh HD/Users/jfox/test/" + sFileName + "_ga.pdf");
    this.closeDoc(true);
    app.endPriv();
    return true;
    It's convoluted and comparitively slow, but it works.
    EDIT: I just realized you probably meant document links and not OPI links. Ha ha. I have no Idea what this would do to document links.

  • PDF PROBLEMS!  Not able to download PDF files into Safari anymore?!?

    I was always able to download PDF files into Adobe Reader from the internet. I can't download them anymore...My MacBook keeps trying to load and reload the page, but never does it. I downloaded the most recent Adobe Reader 9, but this did not fix the problem. I can open PDF files I have saved, but can' t download them in Safari. Any ideas? Thanks-

    schema.procedure?V=04&C=001
    but when i click on it, i get the error as above.
    i am not sure whether it is any permissions issue in linux. or is the procedure not getting executed properly at all.
    but iam able to read those pdfs and insert them into an oracle table.
    but just not able to download them back again.
    but exactly the same code and same tables etc work in windows.

  • Saving PDF file into application server

    Dear all,
    My requirement is retrieving a PDF file from application server and modifying the document and saving it back to the application server through BSP application.
    I've retrieved the data from the application server and displayed it in the frame of BSP layout and modified the same (adding signature). We got stuck in saving back the signed document into the application server.
    Can anyone guide me in saving back the modified document or how to get the modified file content through BSP.

  • Loading external (PDF)file into BLOB colum in the table.  Need urgent help.

    Hi All,
    I've currently been working on loading many external binary files (PDF) into BLOB column. After some digging, I learn that the SQL*LOADER can be used to load data from external files into table. I also got help from another forummate mentioning to use PL/SQL procedure to do so. Since I have not done anything like this before. So, my question is what is the simple approach needed to upload PDF files into a table(there is only one table containing BLOB column in my database). In addition, the LOBs can not be query-able, I wanted to list the contents of the LOBs column to make sure that I did successfully upload data into the database. How can I do that?. I do need your help. Please direct me step by step how to do so. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Trang

    Once the PDF file is inserted in the PDM table, i am not able to read the PDF data from the below code, This code converts the binary data into the Character data i.e BLOB data into the CLOB, but still the data is not proper which is getting inserted PDF is proprietary format of Adobe. And you cant just read it from pl/sql. You need Adobe software installed in your client machine to view it.
    Here is an example of how to do it.

  • How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

    How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

    You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
    The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
    You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
    Then link to this using the url  "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
    My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
    My user name is "wayne"
    so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
    and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector

  • Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

    Hey
    I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
    MY WISH -
    Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
    I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
    This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
    I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

    As TSN has indicated we have no idea what program you are using, other than you posted in the Acrobat forum. In Acrobat you go to File > Create > Combine (varies with version of Acrobat). You can also open one and then use the pages>Insert to add the others.
