APEX 3.0 PDF FOP OC4J REPORT: how to put a variable in the header or footer

hello.
I want to put a variable ( like :P15_MY_PARAMETER) in the header OR footer of a standard PDF report , but does'nt work.
I tried HTML formating with ' &P15_MY_PARAMETER. ' like described in the thread Include a display value in HTML footer ( Include a display value in HTML footer )
but PDF generated is not readeable by Adobe, , I suppose html codin was not translated.
Is it a possibility to put a variable in a PDF header / footer.?
Thanks

Keith,
If you want to use the value of page items in your PDF page header or footer, they need to be written to session state first. In order to do this, your form needs to be submitted. So a button that redirects to a URL or a report print links (that also redirects), won't do that. But submitting your form doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to leave or refresh your current page. All you would have to do is create a branch that points to your PDF document, and make that the target of your submit action. This way, your page doesn't refresh, and you'll get the open/save PDF dialog you would expect.
So to give you an example, if you have a regular reports region, enable PDF printing, but do not specify a link label. Then create your own print button, which needs to be a submit button (not redirect to URL). And then create a branch to the current page that is executed when pressing your print button. That branch also needs this request:
FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R[Report Region ID]
so if your report region ID is 90104803966374878, then the request would be:
FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R90104803966374878
The same technique works for report queries, only in that case you would point to page 0 and use this request:
PRINT_REPORT=[your report query name]
So if your report query name is "myreport", this would be
PRINT_REPORT=myreport
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Marc

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
The problem is that when I keep the logo as a watermark, the pdf is not adjusting itself to include the logo as header.
But if I add a header text via Tools -> Headers and Footers, the pdf is adjusting itself so that the header text is at the beginning , not overlapping with the contents of pdf.
But while using logo as watermark, some times overlapping of the pdf contents and logo is happening.
Is there any way to add a logo in the Header and Footer via the option in Tools -> Headers and Footers
Thanks,
Vidhya

PDF: How to get date/time into the heading of a FOP/PDF file?

Hi!
What changes do I need to make to the PDF report template or what else can I put in the heading block of the "Print" page so that it will include the date and time the PDF was generated?
Also how would I add this so that it prints on the bottom of the page like the page number?
Thanks in advance for any tips, tricks, ideas, examples, etc.!
Dave Venus

Hi!
Perhaps I missed this some place but you can get the value of a page item or application item into the header or footer of a (FOP) PDF report by using a "&<item>." format substitution string. For example I have a 1 time application process that puts todays date in an application item named F106_SYSDATE (F106_ is the application id). Then in my headers I use:
XXXX Report on: &F106_SYSDATE.
Simple. Works great! And better yet my users are a little happier! :)
Thank for everyone's help and suggestions!

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user. Among the surprises:
- it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
- it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
- it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
-mail merge
-meaningful Applescript/Services support
-non-contiguous text selection
-ability to set defaul zoom
-ability to see comments while editing
-ability to print comments
-ability to read RTF files
-ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
These about about 90 other features are gone.
Then there are the bugs. Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers. Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system. Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!). Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

How to change the header and footer in the Section Breaks Next Page using OpenXML?

I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.
Scenario of example, I have a doc file which has four pages with headers and footers and added fifth page in the section break next page, I want to change the header and footer of the fifth page only. This is achievable manually by deselecting the Link to Previous
button in the Word Application but I don't know how to change it using XML?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

Pages 5.2 How do I remove the fields in the header and footer?

I need to add objects and footers that are longer than the field dividers allow in the header and footer of my document. How do I remove the field divisions?

You can't remove the dividers in Pages 5.
They don't exist in Pages '09.
On the Mac you can simply keep typing and the text crosses the dividers.
A quick test on my iPod touch suggests the same on iOS.

Another approach:
Open view CRM_WORKAREAHDR/WorkAreaHeader and change the configuration. There is a button in the bar named "Attributes" (probably hidden under MORE).
Once in there in edit mode substitute the content of attribute "UI_COMPONENT_3". It should be
Window=CRM_ALLSEARCHES.CRM_ALLSEARCHES/LauncherWindow;horizontalAlignment=right;
put there a
Width=0px;
The other way using business role is fine as well.
