Sending binary attachement using UTL_SMTP

I am attempting to send a .PDF or Word .DOC as an attachment to an email through PL/Sql procedure. Using UTL_FILE to open the file and looping through the file using UTL_FILE.GET_RAW to extract a line then using UTL_SMTP.WRITE_RAW_DATA(conn,UTL_ENCODE.BASE64_ENCODE(<raw data>)) to write the file. I did get an email with the attachment, but when attempting to open the attachment, it cannot because it is corrupt in some way!??!
The snippet of code is:
l_file_handle := utl_file.fopen(l_directory_name,l_file_name,'r',32767);
-- generate the MIME boundary line & header ...
l_mesg := lcrlf || '--' || l_boundary_text || lcrlf ||
'Content-Type: '|| p_mime_type|| ';' || lcrlf ||
'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' ||
l_file_name || '"' || lcrlf ||
'Content-Transfer-Encoding: ' || p_mime_trnsf_enc || lcrlf || lcrlf;
utl_smtp.write_data(lconn, l_mesg);
-- and append the file contents to the end of the message ...
BEGIN
LOOP
IF p_mime_trnsf_enc = '7bit' THEN
utl_file.get_line(l_file_handle, l_line);
l_mesg := l_line || lcrlf;
utl_smtp.write_data(lconn, l_mesg);
ELSE -- Base-64 encode type
utl_file.get_raw(l_file_handle, l_line_raw, 100);
utl_smtp.write_raw_data(lconn, utl_encode.base64_encode(l_line_raw));
utl_smtp.write_data(lconn,lcrlf);
END IF;
END LOOP;
... followed by the UTL_FILE exceptions ...
l_mesg := lcrlf;
utl_smtp.write_data(lconn,l_mesg);
utl_file.fclose(l_file_handle);
Any suggestions???

The documentation explicitly states:
"With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files"
See: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file.htm#1002119
Also:
"UTL_FILE.GET_RAW - This function reads a RAW string value from a file"
See: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file2.htm#1003233
I agree that this is misleading.
You can use DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE to read a file into a BLOB. You can then use DBMS_LOB.READ to read from the BLOB to a RAW.
You can then use the RAW data to build the attachment portion of the email.

PDF sent using UTL_SMTP to GMail won't open. Opens in Yahoo and others

We are using a stored procedure, in which we use UTL_SMTP to send a PDF attachment. Thing is our attachment successfully goes out. It can be opened in Yahoo, Hotmail, but we cannot open the PDF in Gmail. We get a "cannot open file" error when we click it it Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Billy, I checked the GMail mail which was not working. I forwarded it to my mail client in my PC, saved as a .eml file. I opened the file in Wordpad. This is what is there for the attachment header:
--14dae934093fdc4a6d04b806a829--
--14dae934093fdc4a7004b806a82b
Content-Type: application/pdf; name="notice281.pdf"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="notice281.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
X-Attachment-Id: dfb0085649150141_0.1Then as you suggested I send a PDF from my mail-client to GMail. It opens fine in Gmail and you can also download and view it. This is what that mail has for the attachment
pdf test
--------------030409090802080802010404
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name="hdr_1999_defintions.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="hdr_1999_defintions.pdf"What I saw as the only difference was that in the one that is not working there is an extra line
X-Attachment-Id: dfb0085649150141_0.1I tried to find in the code where it comes from but was not successful. I tried modifying the mailing program but still no luck.
And also the PDF cannot be downloaded viewed as well. When we download and view the PDF we get that cannot open the pdf message.

I am unable to attach PDFs to Hotmail/Outlook email using my FF browser today. Never had issue before today.

1. I am unable to attach pdfs today in Outlook/Hotmail email using my Firefox browser (27.0.1). I keep getting an error message that says, "The file is not a picture and can't be inserted inline." I do not understand why I keep getting this error message. I am not attempting to insert an image. I am selecting to Insert Files as Attachments from the drop down menu.
No matter how many times I attempt to attach various pdfs to my emails today using Firefox as my browser, I keep getting this same error message. I have cleared the cache, cleared all cookies, cleared all history, signed out of my Hotmail/Outlook account, signed back in, restarted computer, etc., to no avail. Same problem.
2. I switched to my Safari browser, and have no problem attaching pdfs in my Hotmail/Outlook email account. The pdfs are attaching perfectly as usual. My emails are being sent normally with the attachments. The attached pdfs are being received and are opening perfectly as intended.
3. Why am I unable to attach files with Firefox today? Firefox is my browser of choice and I have used it with my Hotmail/Outlook email account without any problems, till today. Please help me! Thank you!

Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

What happens to attachment in a PO when it is converted to PDF using SPOOL.

Hi Experts,
While converting a PO to PDF using a spool number, it works fine but i have a question as If the PO has an attachment, does the spool take care of that also?
If not how to download the attachment as well.
Thanks & Regards,
K

Hi Shan,
No in ME21N there is a tab called Attachment, by which we can attach a note or something(I am thou not sure why this is done), yes a script is generated into a PDF but this attachment which is part of PO does it get attached or we need to do somthing to attach it to PDF was my question?
Cheers,
K

How can I email using UTL_SMTP with a csv file as an attachment?

Dear All,
It would be great if someone could help me. I am trying to use UTL_SMTP to email with a csv file as attachment. I do get an email with a message but no attachment arrives with it.

The person(s) who wrote that package are sorely lacking in even the most basic of programming skills if structured programming is ignored and a spaghetti command used instead.
No wonder the public interface of that code is equally shabby and thoughtless... The mail demo code posted by Oracle was better written than this "+package+" they now have bundled as the official Mail API.
I dunno.. if I was in product management there would have been hell to pay over pushing cr@p like that to customers.

When I attach PDF to an email, it uses the wrong email address

I recently added an email account to my Outlook. It is not the default email account, but Acrobat defaults to that address whenever I attach a PDF to an email. Within Acrobat, the Identity under Preferences includes the correct email address. My MS Office applications use my correct, default email address when send from them. In Windows, the correct email is set at the default email and Outlook is my default email application. It is only Acrobat that defaults to the wrong email account. How can I fix this?
I am using Acrobat 9 Standard
I attach PDFs to email my clicking on the envelop icon. A new message in outlook automatically opens, but the "From" field in the new email message contains the wrong email address. I have also tried File/Attach to Email with the same results.

You are facing this error because Outlook is your default email Client and you have configured it for different e-mail Address than the one which you intend to send mail from.
So i would recommend you to either Add the other e-mail account( The one from which you want to send file) in outlook so that you have a choice while sending the file.
OR
You can remove the currently configured e-mail account from outlook, and reconfigure outlook for that e-mail address which you want to use for file sending purpose.
P.S.- Acrobat will always use the e-mail address associated with your Default e-mail Client ( Outlook in your case.)
Hope that answers your question. Please revert back for any other query or assistance.

Attach an xml to a pdf using ADS

Hi all,
I have a scenario where we are sending a Base64 encoded PDF (a bill) and the corresponding xml data from SAP backend on level 4.6C to PI 7.1. In PI we should attach the xml data to the PDF. I have already succeeded to do this using iText but we have a requirement to do this with ADS instead. In Netweaver Developer Studio I created an example project where I am reading a PDF as a byte array, also reading an XML file and try to attach the XML to the PDF using the ADS api. The project successfully built in NWDS but when I am running the project it failes.
I am using standard code to attach the xml stream to the pdf, the error message is thrown when the following line is executed:
IWDPDFDocument document = context.execute();
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
     at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.impl.PDFDocumentAccessibleContextWDImpl.execute(PDFDocumentAccessibleContextWDImpl.java:99)

     at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.uielib.adobe.impl.AdobeFormHelper.<clinit>(AdobeFormHelper.java:115)
     ... 3 more
Is it the problem with the PDF that it is not an Interactive Form?
Or the problem is simply that I am trying to run the project on my local machine where ADS is not available?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Pal,
There is a requirement to generate an Adobe Form using SAP Interactive forms, and then, send this PDF to a non-SAP system using Base-64 encoding. The receiving system will decode this file and re-generate a PDF.
I have heard that this could be done in the PI layer, using the Conversion Agent.
Another approach which I can think of is convert PDF to binary and then use the cl_http_utility=>encode_base64 to convert binary to base64.
You have mentioned that you have had to send a base 64 encoded pdf. Could you pelase guide me through the process?
Thanks,
Preethi.

Error in opening PDF attachment sent using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Hi all,
I am converting script to PDF using FM 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF'. Using this table i am trying to send it as a attachment to mail id. I am able to send the attachment successfully, but not able to open the attachment.
It is giving error as 'Adobe Reader could not open file because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged'.
I tried seaching on SDN, but did not get useful answer.
Can you please help me in resolving this error?
Thanks,
Archana

Good day Archana,
This is the same problem we have encountered, this has started after adding a patch.
After doing so much R & D we could not do it. We have written a mail to SAP and they
have instructed the basis consultant to follow certain procedure and finally the issue is
solved.
I suggest you to consult basis consultants.
Regards and Best wishes.

Convert list item attachment from docx to pdf using Word Automation Services

I have been trying to convert List Item attachments from docx to pdf using word automation services, it works in a normal document library but when I use the list attachment it throws a null reference error.
var settings = new ConversionJobSettings();
settings.OutputFormat = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions.SaveFormat.PDF;
var conversion = new ConversionJob("Word Automation Services", settings);
conversion.UserToken = SPContext.Current.Site.UserToken;
var wordFile = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Url + "/" + wordForm.Url;
var pdfFile = wordFile.Replace(".docx", ".pdf");
conversion.AddFile(wordFile, pdfFile);
conversion.Start();
Using reflector I was able to see my problem lies in Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.FolderIterator.cs where it uses SPFile.Item which returns NULL
internal void CheckSingleItem(SPFile inputFile, SPFile outputFile)
Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.TraceTag(0x67337931, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Category.ObjectModel, Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.Level.Verbose, "OM: FolderIterator start a single item: source='{0}'; dest='{1}'", new object[] { inputFile.Url, outputFile.Url });
Stopwatch stopwatch = Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Log.StartPerfStopwatch();
try
this.CheckInputFile(inputFile.Item);
this.CheckOutputFile(outputFile.Url);
Is there any way to get around this?

Hi Qfroth,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you use word automation service to convert Word to PDF for list item attachment, it throws the null reference error.
I suggest you can create an event receiver and convert the word to memory stream like below:
private byte[] ConvertWordToPDF(SPFile spFile, SPUserToken usrToken)
byte[] result = null;
try
using (Stream read = spFile.OpenBinaryStream())
using (MemoryStream write = new MemoryStream())
// Initialise Word Automation Service
SyncConverter sc = new SyncConverter(WORD_AUTOMATION_SERVICE);
sc.UserToken = usrToken;
sc.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
sc.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
// Convert to PDF
ConversionItemInfo info = sc.Convert(read, write);
if (info.Succeeded)
result = write.ToArray();
catch (Exception ex)
// Do your error management here.
return result;
Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

Can i use HTML tag in text when sending contens as "Attachement(PDF)".

Hi all!!
i try to add html tag on ibot email text column.
is it possible?
- in ibot delivery content.
send content as Attachment(PDF)
"if sent as attachement, include this text" <--- mark this field
and below multi line input column, can i use html tag, for example,
Yahoo
thanks in advance.
Edited by: vingorius on 2010. 10. 31 오후 7:27

hi vingorius ,
No you cant include html but u can use variables
To add a variable in a text message to provide context for the iBot attachment
1. Click the following option:
If sent as attachment, include this text
2. Type the text into the text box with a session variable, a repository variable, or a presentation variable using the syntax shown in the following table:
Variable Type
Syntax
Repository @{Variable_Name}
Session @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}
Presentation @{Variable_Name}
For example, Dear, @{NQ_SESSION.Variable_Name}, here is your personalized Weekly Sales Territory Update.
NOTE: If you want to use the @ character, you need to precede it with the \ (back slash) character to separate it from the variable syntax. For example, Dear @{NQ_SESSION.DISPLAYNAME}, \@ New York, appears as Dear Joe Smith, @ New York.

Sending text Attachment using UTL_SMTP

Hi,
I am using UTL_SMTP package for sending a text file thru' a mail.
Our database is in a unix machine. My file is created in a folder oracle/DEV/CCare/Data which is in the root directory.
In the URL argument of the procedure,which is a varchar2 type, i am passing the path as 'oracle/DEV/CCare/Data'. Also i have tried passing '/oracle/DEV/CCare/Data' like this. But none of them is working could anybody suggest way of passing the URL.
The package arguments look like below.

How To Open PDF Attached file use CLIENT_HOST 11 g forms

How to open pdf file on client side at 11 g forms ?
when i open any attached (PDF )file on client side is not open those file open on server side plz guide me how to open those file on client machine using client host?
thanks

Where is the pdf you are trying to open? Is it on the server or the client? If the file is stored on the server then you can access it using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT assuming it is stored in a place that has a virtual mapping. For example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://server/someLocation/file.pdf','_blank');If the file is on the client then you need to configure your application to use WebUtil. Then you can do what Francois suggested.
