Hi Timo,
Thanks for ur response.
i modified that import.
now when i compile im getting error for AppModuleImpl import.
Error(338,12): cannot find class AppModuleImpl.
And also plz specify from where i can get that .xml file which is specified in private static void printXML(Node n) throws IOException { ) method. (which xml file is that).(i didnt find any xml file when i check in my path)
And also the paths in public void generatePDF() {
File xmlfile =
new File("C:/jdevstudio10133/jdev/mywork/FOP/ViewController/src/view/emp.xml");
File xsltfile =
new File("C:/jdevstudio10133/jdev/mywork/FOP/ViewController/src/view/emp.xsl");
File pdffile =
new File("C:/jdevstudio10133/jdev/mywork/FOP/ViewController/src/view/EmpResultXML2PDF.pdf");
Is these 3 paths are alreasy exists or we are creating it now?
Plz clarify me im confused.....
Thanks.

ADF export table to PDF file?

What is the easiest way to export a table to a PDF file. The catch is that tables will be generated randomly based on a user's query. Is there any way to generically export the produced resultset/table into a PDF format regardless of the content?
I have searched the web and have not found something to do this generically (irrespective of the table content).
Any ideas/suggestions/links to examples would be nice.
P.S. I am new to ADF so please explain anything complicated.

Thanks for your reply.
The link you gave me requires me to access the backend datasource and what not.
My original question asked for any possible method to convert a table to a pdf without dealing with any backend methods/databases.

How to export table contents in xml file format through SQL queries

hi,
i need to export the table data in to xml file format. i got it through the GUI what they given.
i'm using Oracle 10g XE.
but i need to send the table name from Java programs. so, how to call the export commands from programming languages through. is there any sql commands to export the table contents in xml format.
and one more problem is i created each transaction in two tables. for example if we have a transaction 'sales' , that will be saved in db as
sales1 table and sales2 table. here i maintained and ID field in sales1 as PK. and id as FK in sales2.
i get the combined data with this query,
select * from sales1 s1, sales2 s2 where s1.id=s2.id order by s1.id;
it given all the records, but i'm getting two ID fields (one from each table). how to avoid this. here i dont know how many fields will be there in each table. that will be known at runtime only.
the static information is sales1 have one ID field with PK and sales2 will have one ID filed with FK.
i need ur valuable suggestions.
regards
pavan.

You can use DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML('your Query') for generating data in tables to XML format and you can use DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG to change the parent element name other wise it will give rowset as well as DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWTAG for row name.
Check this otherwise XMLELEMENT and XMLFOREST function are also there to convert data in XML format.

Error Exporting Table Content into Excel

Hi there,
I have code that reads a TableView and exports its content into excel file. The code is running right now in an iView that is stored in a protal role. The code has been developed using PDK. I'm running portal 6.0 SP16.
Here is what the code does:
1. Reads the content of the table and stores it in an HSSFSheet inside an HSSFWorkbooK object.
2. Gets HttpServletResponse from the portal request and updates its content type and headers
HttpServletResponse response = ((IPortalComponentRequest)getRequest()).getServletResponse(true);
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement;filename="EmployeeEntitlementRpt.xls"");
3. Writes the excel file to the response output stream.
ServletOutputStream fileOut = null;
try{
 fileOut = response.getOutputStream();
 wb.write(fileOut);
 fileOut.close();
} catch(IOException ie){
 throw new PortalRuntimeException("IOException when getting output steam from response, writing to the outputstream or closing it.", ie);
The code gives me the following error message, if invoked from the iview inside the detailed navigation.
"Internet Explorer cannot download ...ge!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage from portald.global.ad
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
However, when I navigate to the same iView and open it in a new window, the code functions as expected.
This is the URL to the iView when opened inside the detailed navigation: https://companyserver.global.ad/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtpos/pcd!253aportal!255fcontent!252fevery!255fuser!252fgeneral!252fdefaultDesktop!252fframeworkPages!252fframeworkpage!252fcom!252esap!252eportal!252einnerpage!7b!3b2!7d.com!252esap!252eportal!252edynamicNavigationArea!7bHideMode!7d_com!252esap!252eportal!252etargetsiView!7bHideMode!7d_com!252esap!252eportal!252etargetsiView!255f!7bHideMode!7d-/prttarget/com!252enexeninc!252etots!252eiv_entitlement_report.content/prteventname/HtmlbEvent/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fdefaultDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage

Hi,
In the iView properties, for the property Entry Point, mark the property as yes instead of the default no. May be this could help u.

Export table data to Pdf file

Hi all,
I have a .jspx page wich contains a table and a button with an exportCollectionActionListener to export the table data to an excell file.
Now i want to do the same but to a pdf file.
Is that posible, and if so how can I do that?
If it isn't posible is there any way to do that.
Thanks all,
Rowan

Hi!
Yes, the first step is to learn iReport. Then, investigate Jasper Forums where you will find lot of code and hints.
To produce a report you have to:
1. Create report definition and compile it in report files used by Jasper API later on (this you learn on Jasper forums)
2. Create java code in your project to generate report (based on datasource in your app) - this is just java code which doesnt have anything special to ADF/JDev - learn this also on Jasper forums
3. Decide which mechanism you will use to downstream report output (whichever render you select when generate report - PDF, HTML, Excle, RTF...) - there are two options:
a. Use standard JSP Servlet, where you just have to generate report and downstream it into servlet's output stream
b. more ADF 11g way - using af:fileDownloadActionListener with backingbean to downstream a generated report content
That's it. You have to design your own strategy for supplying report query parameters (through Http Request params or any other way dependent on mechanism you decide to use).
Try Googling for Jdeveloper Jasper and you will find several blogs/forums on this topic (try JDeveloper and Jasper.. HTML Report without information The servlet technique is same as in 10g and for ADF 11g way you have to manage yourself.

Table of Contents in PDF Export

I've generated a Table of Contents in iWork '09. When I export this to a PDF using the Best Quality, it doesn't contain a table of contents. I think this would be a very useful option, since I use iWork to create technical documents.

I've generated a Table of Contents in iWork '09. When I export this to a PDF using the Best Quality, it doesn't contain a table of contents. I think this would be a very useful option, since I use iWork to create technical documents
There are normally three ways to create a TOC (Table of Contents). Which did you try to use?
1) Bookmarks: Most applications and non-graphic only devices will interpret a list of bookmarks as a TOC if exported properly as part of the PDF file. Unfortunately, Pages does not appear to export this data as part of the file export or does so in such a way that the bookmarks are not recognized by other applications/devices including Apple's own Preview. If this is what you are trying to do, you would need to use a secondary application to re-bookmark your content. (NOTE: Don't use Preview for this as its bookmarks are also not recognized by other applications/device and only work when using Preview as the reader.)
2) Pages "Insert TOC" Option: This option should produce a a working TOC that will work on non-graphic only devices and/or applications that allow touch, stylus, cursor movement, etc to highlight/activate internal/external links. This form of active annotation has the advantage of being able to update and display page references automatically as you create the document. If this is what you tried to do and it didn't work, the most frequent problem is a failure on the part of the user to tag the text on the page you want included in the TOC with one of the "header" tags (i.e., h1 thru h6). Properly tagging your text will allow the selected text to be automatically added to your TOC along with the page number on which the text is tagged if desired. Further, tagging the text allows you to redefine the style of that tag at any time you wish and apply the change to all other text similarly tagged.
3) Manual Links: The third option is highlight selected text in your document and add it manually to your bookmark list. Then you would select the text (either on a manually created TOC page or anywhere else in your document) and link it manually to one of your bookmark entries. As you can see, this process can be much more time consuming but should work under the same conditions mentioned above regarding the auto-generated TOC. This option does not require tagging of the content nor does it prohibit it.

Export table from pdf to excel

I have been attempting to convert a large table from a pdf file to an Excel worksheet, but I am having no luck. I am working on Adobe 8, and I can't figure out a way to do it. I've tried saving the file as .txt, but this completely screws up the formatting when I open it with Excel. I thought I remembered using a past version of adobe to accomplish this simply by right-clicking on a selected region of the table and selecting "Export to Excel"... where did that option go? I am currently copying and pasting each individual row of the table into Excel in order to keep the formatting, but this is too time consuming. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use the menu entry 'Open Table in Spreadsheet' in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.

Table of contents in PDF files

IBooks gives two options for displaying the Table of Contents for PDF files—thumbnails or a conventional table. The thumbnails view is useless to me, and I would like the conventional table view to appear by default. Unfortunately, the TOC almost always appears in thumbnails view, and I have to manually select the list view.
Is there any way to set the list view as the default TOC view for PDF files?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
When you combine files into a single PDF, each file you include will have a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I suppose you could treat that as a Table of Contents. (It doesn't, however, create a separate TOC and append it to the file.) The bookmark names reflect the filename of each file you combined.
I hope that answers your question.
Best,
Sara

Table not exporting in XLS or PDF format

Hi all
My Report layout contains a chart and a big table which loads properly in Interactive mode but does not export table into PDF or XLS format.Charts get exported properly.
the version :Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.3.0
Can somebody help why it is not exporting.
Cheers
-Sandeep

I exported by giving local path. But it doesnt write to that folder but to somewhere. Reports 10g is not client/server, so you cannot write directly to a local directory on the client PC. One option: you can open the generated file in a browser and have the users save it on their own PC.
When integrating Forms and Reports, there are other options, like using webutil_file_transfer.
It's a good idea to start with understanding the differences between client/server (6i) and 10g (web) Reports.

Extracting/Setting PDF Table contents using javascript

Hello,
Can you experts please let me know the following?
1. Is there a way to extract PDF table contents?
2. Can I set the row value via java script?
Bottom line is I need to implement editable table in PDF. What are the ways I can achieve this feat?
Thanking you in advance!
Best Regards

Hi PDL,
I am actually writing a piece (C++) of code that generates Acroform currently. It is still in the primitive stage, just provided support only for text fields, choice fields and buttons.
As I mentioned above, I have a requirement to generate a editable table...
Sure I can provide the PDF(acroform) that is generated by the code.
But how can I send the file to you? Can you share your email-Id? Or can I paste the content of the output here ?

How to export from VC a bapi output table to a PDF file

Hello,
How can I export a output table results from a BAPI (not BI Query) to a PDF file?
Regards

Hi
There is very simple way of exporting the data to PDF. Follow the steps -
1. Download PDF convertor on your machine.
2. Create one button 'Convert to PDF' in your VC model.
3. IN this button assign system command as 'Print'
4. Save & Execute the model.
After execution when you will click on this button, it will open normal print pop up window. Here you will find PDF convertor. Select this & Convert to PDF.

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

Is there a way to copy and paste excel table contents to a pdf table form?

It's not something I have tried before. Have you tried it, and what's happened?
Basically, copy/pasting tables is a bit of a problem - anywhere. Table formats are different in different circumstances - Excel, HTML, PDF, ...
If you copy a HTML table and paste it into an Excel sheet, the entire table will go into one single cell.
So most likely what you are trying to achieve will not work.

Grabbing content from PDF exported from Pages

Hi,
I have a number of reports that I have created using Pages that include pictures, text and bar charts. For the most part, I used the Graphs function in Pages to create these charts (as opposed to using Numbers and then copying in).
I exported these document in PDF's for my clients, but they would like to be able to select specific graphs to include in their PowerPoint presentations etc.
I have instructed them to use the Select Tool in Acrobat Reader (these are PC users), however the quality is AWFUL...very very fuzzy to the point of being unreadable.
So I have tried all these things:
- Using Select Tool in Preview to select from a PDF converted in Good quality (fuzzy)
- Using Select Tool in Preview to select from a PDF converted in Best quality (not much better)
- Using Grab utility on document opened in Preview (maybe slightly better but not much)
- pulling the bar chart into Photoshop first then pasting into Word (awful)
- converting the Pages document into Word document (the worst ever)
The charts look crisp when viewed in Preview/Acrobat Reader, so I don't know why they won't copy better. If I select and copy the text boxes and the pictures (from Preview), they seem to be fine, so it is just the charts that are a problem.
Any ideas?

The text and line drawings will be fine, they are generally not rendered, unless they overlap some bitmap material.
You can try simplifying the bar charts to basic line material, none of the fancy rendered versions.
You do not need to unshadow the graphs if they are upscaled, the shadowing is the same resolution as the graph.
I understand the scope of the work.
I just experimented with trying to print the graph to 400% to see if that would get around the issue and just hit an amazing bug. When you do that Pages shrinks the page size!
Apple catches you coming and going!
Peter
ps I have +Provided Pages Feedback,+ on this and suggest you do also.
