Hello there,
Has anyone knew how to display an image file (BLOB) on Report using Application Express?
You prompt reply would be appreciated.

Once htmldb.oracle.com is available again, you may have a look in my demo application:

Image in generated excel report

Hi to all,
I am creating an excel report by following the demo in otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html. However I need to include an image to the excel output. Initially, when I made the layout design in excel, I am able to embed the image through the insert -> picture from file function in excel but when I converted it to HTML and JSP, it was converted as an img tag with a source pointing to an image file in a directory. When I generate the excel report, there is no image and I am left with transparent box that act as a placeholder for the missing image. Does anyone know how the image can be embedded to the excel report when it is generated?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi swati,
If we want to display an image which located in sharefolder based on ID, we can refer to the following steps:
Insert an image in the design surface, select External format as the image source.
In “Use this image” tab, click the fx button to add the expression like below:
="File://" + Fields!FolderPath + "/" + User!UserID + ".jpg"
The link below is for your reference:

Hope this helps.

Error inserting image file in Excel 2013, it's working with administrator privileges

When I tri to insert image file like .JPG in Excel 2013, I get an import error. It's working fine with administrator privileges.
I check, graphic filter (registry values) and made also an Office repare. But i have still the problem.
My computer: Windows 8.1 64 bits, Office 2013 32 bits

Try to check the grant permission for the Excel property itself.
Try to insert image from other path, e.g. D:\ to check if we still receive the error.
Try to run Excel with safe mode. ("Excel.exe /safe") and perform th insert action without any add-ins interrupt. Thanks.

How to add, JS and image files in portalapp.xml

Hi All,
I was trying to implement multiple level hover detailed navigation in iview for which I got couple of css scripts from web which include javascripts.
I placed these files in respective folders and their reference in header.jsp but when the iview is rendered in browser the reference is changing to .htm
So please help me out how to place these script / image files in PAR file and their reference in portalapp.xml & header.jsp.
Thanks in advance,

1) The CSS file you have , save as "jsp" file and please place in the jsp folder.
suppose your jsp is header.jsp and your css file is header_style.jsp
include the css jsp - header_style.jsp in header.jsp like
<%-- an include clause for css file --%>
<%@ include file="header_style.jsp" %>
2) All your images , please place in the "images" folder.
3) To access the images use like below: in CSS file (jsp)
in header_style.jsp
yourimage: url(<%=mimeUrl%>/images/Border.gif);
in header.jsp
<%
String mimeUrl = componentRequest.getWebResourcePath();
%>

Add bookmarks to pdf file using Excel VBA

Good morning -
I have, through internet searches, created an Excel macro that prints numerous workbooks to pdf, combines them into one file and prints that file. I have been searching for the last piece, which is adding bookmarks, but have not had any luck getting any of it to work. The following is the code that I am using to add the bookmarks -
Dim avdoc, pddoc, app As Object
Dim stFile As String
Dim btitle As Boolean
Dim PDBookmark As CAcroPDBookmark
stFile = "D:\Test\Test.pdf"
Set app = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avdoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Set pddoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
pddoc.Open stFile
Set avdoc = pddoc.OpenAVDoc(stFile)
Set PDBookmark = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDBookmark", "")
app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Test Bookmark")
This code does insert a bookmark on the first page of the document. The bookmark title displays as Untitled instead of Test Bookmark as the code states. Can someone answer the following questions -
1. Why is the code not changing the bookmark from Untitled to Test Bookmark, and
2. How would I nodify the above code to go to a certain page then enter the bookmark.
All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Good morning Reinhard -
Thanks you very much for the help. I implemented as follows:
1. app.MenuItemExecute ("NewBookmark")
btitle = PDBookmark.GetByTitle(pddoc, "Untitled")
btitle = PDBookmark.SetTitle("Total Accessories / Hardgoods")
I added the "btitle =" due to it erroring out. However, when I step through the code and get to that line, I get the "Excel has encountered an error and needs to close" error. Is there a reference that I'm missing that you know of?
2. I was able to find the code to get to a specific page number and it is working great.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

I would search for them using:

find or locate
On Windows:
Agent Ransack is a good free tool

How to add a gif (animation) file to stage without making the SWF too heavy?

Hello
I'd like to make some simple flash animation using some gif files i have on my pc. these gif files have like 20-30 frames each . eventually when i export the file to SWF it becomes too heavy (more than 1mb) ...what can i do to avoid this? i need the swf flash files to be much smaller so i can upload them to my site without making my site upload time too slow.
thanks in advance

Without seeing your movie, I'm guessing that the best place to shave off some of the size would be to make the individual images used for the animations as small as possible. This could be done through a combination of optimizing the individual images and reducing the physical size of the images.
Another tactic is to make individual Flash movies out of each animation, then make a master Flash movie that will load in each of these individual movies at runtime. This will lower the initial wait for a large file download. The success of this tactic will rely on size of the files to be downloaded and the connection speed of your users.

Looking for comprehensive program to create pdf file from gif image

Hello,
I'm looking for a program that can transform gif image file into pdf file. It is very importent to keep the same quality of the output document as the original image.
I've seen Bridge CS5 in action and was very much disapointed, because the original gif image had 2 colors: black and white, took 60k Byte A4 paper size. But the output pdf file became somehow to 700k Byte size. When our proffi tried to lower the ppi or quality bar there was direct impact on the image quality.
Long time ago Photoshop was able to export images as pdf files and one of the options of the pdf file was to keep the original image as gif, not as jpeg. Because jpeg is very costy format for black-white images and no-one wants to waste memory in vain, so I do not like to save pdf files of 1MB size for an image that takes 100k in gif.
I do understand that nowdays using Photoshop to save pdf files is not the option anymore, isn't it ?
What program can you suggest me to use ? I still prefer to use Adobe products, as long as I can, through I'm starting to get scared of sharp decline in quality.
Thank you in advance.
sincerely,
Al

No, I didn't. The last time I saw it, it was looking just as a regular Reader with a little more options and with an addon to MS-Office, to allow to save MS documents to pdf from inside MS-Office user interface products, and frankly, I do not highly admire there products at all, so I do not have MS-Office installed. But it was also long time ago. If the situation did changed since than, I will try it.
Thank you very much.
I've just tried the Acrobat. It worked great ! Thank you. Just not all the images have options how to save them in pdf file, but that's ok for now

The value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory

Hi experts
Now customer has the following issue.
XML Publisher concurrent request, using RTF layout template with LOGO, does not generate the LOGO for Excel output.
but in output formats PDF, it is shown normally.
from the debug log, we can found the following error message
======
[051812_054716051][][ERROR] Could not create an image. Set html-image-dir and html-image-base-uri correctly.
======
so I tell the customer to do the following action plan.
1. in XML Publisher Administrator resp > Administration expand the HTML Output section.
2a. enter a value for 'Base image URI'
2b. enter a value for 'Image file directory'
Customer set the value as following and retest this issue,but he found the issue is not solved.
Base image URI: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media/XXSLI_SONY_LIFE_LOGO.gif
Image file directory: /u01/r12/ebssnd/apps/apps_st/comn/java/classes/oracle/apps/media
I verified 'Base image URI' and 'Image file directory' settings:
1) Change output type to HTML.
2) Click the Preview.
but the image is correctly displayed on HTML, so I think the issue is caused by user's uncorrectly setting of the base image URL and/or image file directory
but could anyone give me some advice on which value should be set for Base image URL and Image file directory
Regards
shuangfei

First thing to do is to edit the post and use some tags to format the code as it is unreadable and too much!
Read the FAQ (https://forums.oracle.com/forums/help.jspa) to find out how to do this.
Next we need to know the jdev version you are using!
As the code is generated I would first try to generate it again after the db change.

Links in JPG & GIF images.

Hello board,
I'm making some JPGs & animated GIFs for my website, and my CMS allows images to link to only a single link; e.g. it
links the whole image. Is it possible to embed multiple links in a single image THEN upload to one's CMS? If so, how?

Marian Driscoll wrote:
JPG and GIF image files cannot contain even a single link. Links are only made through HTML.
You can slice the image (see Photoshop help on 'slicing') and then apply unique links to each slice in the CMS' WYSIWYG editor.
You can also manually enter a HTML image map for a single image file if your CMS allows raw HTML and does not filter that type of input.
Or you can use Dreamweaver.
