ADF: Including a PDF document as part of a page

Hi,
I know this subject has been raised in some form or another a couple of times before, so apologies in advance for that. That being said, I've yet to see a solution I can actually use.
I'm building an application that deals with scanned documents stored in a database. The documents are stored as PDF files i a BLOB column, and during the scanning process varying information has been extracted from the documents (depending on the document type - for instance order numbers or policy numbers). The extracted information is also stored in the database. The application is supposed to work as a sort of post office, in the sense that each document can be sent on to a specific person or group of persons. Before sending the documents on, the users of the application have the option of making manual corrections to the extracted document information. And for this last bit, it is necessary for the users to be able to see the documents (the PDF files).
What I would like is a page with a master-detail layout, the master being the list of documents and the detail being the extracted document information AND a view of the PDF file. I would like the PDF file to be embedded in the page itself (on the right half of the page for instance), rather than just having a link to the file. So, does anyone have a suggestion to how I should go about achieving this?
For now, I would settle for a solution where the PDF files themselves are stored in the file system rather than the database (the database then containing only the LOCATION of the files) if that makes it any easier. At some point I would like not to have to depend on the file system for storage of the pdf files, though.
Regards,
Andreas

  • How to include several PDF documents into just one file?

    I have a Word document with 6 pages that I saved in PDF.
    I wanted to transform the entire document in JPEG (JPG) immage, so that I could use it in other tools, such as Facebook for example.
    The problem is that using Adobe Photoshop it opens and saves page by page.
    Can you give me s solution or hint?

    Thank you!
    I already saved all pages as .pdf w/ Acrobat and have all 6 pages saved in
    .jpg, using Photoshop.
    Problem is that I want to post the whole text in my Facebook page, and to
    have it in six pieces is not quite readable...
    Thanks anyway and have a joyful Xmas!

  • Can I display a MS Word Document as part of a page

    Hi,
    Is it possible to display a MS Word document as part of a page (i.e. in a panelForm, panelBox) with ADF Faces? Any help is appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Salim

    Hi,
    No, its impossible. I have never had that requirement, but if you want to review Word document as JSF page fragment, you can try to create helper servlet that gets MS Word and converts it to HTML (e.g using Apache POI - library to access Microsoft format files http://poi.apache.org/ ). Then you can try display this HTML using iframe or <jsp:include> and <f:verbatim> tag in your jsf page. I'ts my fast and free think - I have never tried this.

  • Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

    Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

    OK, we've got it!
    What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
    I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
    Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro  both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
    Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

  • Javascript adobe indesign to add/delete parts of pdf document and adjusting layout on pages

    as a very new beginner i Adobe InDesign, and defining me as a dummie!, I'm making a interactiv pdf form for leaders. in this form, depending on what they check out in the first page, different parts in the pdf document has to be added/removed (not only buttoms at textfields, but also text in the form). and preferably, the layout should adopt to those changes. I have tried by exporting the file into Adobe Acrobat pro, using Tools/forms/addaction - add/hide element. Unfornately, that only removes textfiels, buttoms .... but not text. it doesn't either adjust layout. The alternativ would be to use the action import new pdf file, which I manage. Meanwhile, I Wonder how it is possible in a same document. Can somebody help me to succeed in making this interactiv form come true?! tx,

    A PDF form is not appropriate for this. You'd have better luck with some
    sort of an HTML app.

  • PDF documents open as a blank page.

    I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat X onto my new computer running Windows 7 but cannot open documents like pdf online credit card statements online.  All I get is a blank page.  Also, I cannot download a pdf from an email as a pdf.  The option I get to "save as" is "all files".  I am able to open pdf documents that I have transfered to the computer on a thumb drive.  I am able to save documents as PDF in Word.
    Thank you for your help!!!!

    Have you tried to download the files (typically right click on the link) and open them in Acrobat that way, rather than the plugin to the browser. There may also be an issue with the browser. You did not mention the browser you are using, but might try FireFox or such (assuming you are currently using IE).

  • How do i change a 2 page pdf document, to be a 4 page flyer..

    hi
    ill try to explain this as clearly as i can.
    i have got a 2 page pdf document, that has data on both sides.
    i need it to be 4 A5 pages at the front and back, so it folds neatly together.
    so currently it prints like an duplex A4 page, and i just wondering how i can change it to be more like the flyer i have in mind.
    hope that makes sense..
    Im using acrobat 9 pro
    Thanks
    damien

    You may have to crop pages to get the effect that you want. If you have the original, it would probably be easier to edit that and create a new PDF.

  • Uploaded pdf-documents generates code instead of pages in firefox and chrome (however they work in safari)

    this is a new problem after having upgraded to mountain lion.
    when I attach a hyperlink to my pdf-document that I like to display on the web - the pdf-document will not show up in Firefox or Chrome - it generates a lot of code instead.
    I have only uploaded the files to my computer (not released on the web yet) - as I can see all files are neatly displayed in the appropriate pagefolder.
    One of the themes (modern) provided as a standard feature in iWeb has been used. In Chrome the menu does not show up either (although safari and firefox displays the menu correctly)

    I should have given you some info about testing the local version of your site. As you probably realise, its almost useless testing your site in Safari since hardly anybody uses it.
    In OS X up to Snow Leopard, we could set up Web Sharing from System Prefs but Apple made this difficult in Mountain Lion.
    See the bottom of this page for info about testing the local version of your website...

  • Pdf documents not added on web pages

    Hi!
    I've got problems adding pdf documents in iWeb.
    I'm doing it the way I've always done it:
    I insert some text (or a picture) and activate a hyperlink (linking it to a pdf document). I then save and upload the web pages via ftp to my webhost.
    This has always worked in the past.
    However, now, when I visit the website and click the link to the pdf document I just get a 404-message saying the requested file can't be found on the server.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    //Oscar

    Have you tried publishing you site to a local folder and launching it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file to see if the link works in this version of your site?
    Doing this will let you know if the problem is in iWeb or with FTP. If the local version works then the problem is with FTP. If not then you need to troubleshoot iWeb.
    Its better to use a hyphen instead of a space in a URL.

  • Export to pdf - document always opens on 2nd page, not 1st

    Hi
    As a photographer, I am really liking Pages for creating a pdf for clients to download from my website.
    Only thing is that the pdf always opens on 2nd page (not first) - at least on my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Example here: http://www.hotelresortphotography.co.uk/HRP-2015-BROCHURE.zip (15mb zip download)
    With thanks in anticipation

    Hi Mnkbsnss
    Thanks for quick reply & nice thought.
    However, when I go to print the pdf, it shows 1st page as the cover photo & 1st page ready to print.
    It's really only when opening the doc up that it starts at page 2.
    But thx again

  • Multi-page pdf documents show only the first page in safari

    I suspect QT is the culprit, when I right-click the page and click About QT Plugin... nothing happens, when I then click the page [plugin failure] button shows up.
    I have QT and QT7 Pro installed on my machine running OS X 10.6.8

    You need to maintain the relative folder structure that was used when the links were created. For example, the first link in the catalog list (0.1A 3SH Standard), is pointing to a file called "TOC-01a.pdf" that is in a sub-folder called "0.1A" under the folder where the main PDF is located.
    You should really try to get the entire thing as a zip file, or have the creators of the PDF change their links to ones that point to URLs, or you'll need to spend a lot of time on re-creating the folder structure for all the links in this file (which you don't have access to unless you have Acrobat, anyway)...

  • How to get a pdf-document out of a function module

    hy,
    we want to create a wd-application which imports a function module. The function module creates a pdf-document. We are planning to deliver the function-module output as a table to webdynpro. The table includes the pdf-document.
    How can we display this pdf within the browser ?

    Hi,
    at first your Function Module should deliver your PDF as an XSTRING in ABAB.
    This is mapped to a byte[] in Java Model. This byte array you can bind for example to a FileDownload Element in the GUI. If you click on it the PDF opens.
    On the context element of type byte[] you have to do the following:
    IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("<byte[]contextElement>");   
    IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    binaryType.setFileName("<yourname>".pdf");
    binaryType.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
    Then it should basically work
