Blob Image blows up PDF Report

Hi!
Following problem: I select a report logo (size 33k) from the database in a blob field in the header section. When I create a PDF the report grows up enormously in size (10 times bigger than a report without logo) - I think the logo will be put in the pdf for every page. When I implement a static Image in the header section the report ist much smaller.
How can I solve the problem?
Bye,
Rumburak

Hello,
Which version are you using ?
If you use a version >= 9.0.4 , you can use the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT.
This parameter has an impact on the output size :

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,
    cust_email,
    filename,
    company_profile,
    -- customer_image,
    decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(customer_image),0),0,null,
    '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
    'src="' ||
    apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE', customer_id) ||
    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

Display BLOB (image) column in (interactive) report

Hi,
I have a field called "picture" in my table "details" which is of type BLOB. i also have a field for "MIMETYPE" and "filename"
i additionally have a "name" and "description" columns which i need to display along with the picture as columns in a report (preferably interactive).
i have also modified the BLOB display format as per
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
what i am missing is the correct query. if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.
I have also referred to the thread
APEX 3.1 Display BLOB Image
But i don't know how to place the
dbms_lob.getlength("BLOB_CONTENT") as "BLOB_CONTENT"
in my query.
The above also makes the report column as of type "number". is this expected?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Ramakrishnan

You haven't actually said what the problem is?

        , dbms_lob.getlength(picture) picture
from
          details
if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.For images close to this size it's easy to do this for declarative BLOB images in interactive reports using CSS. Add a style sheet with:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="PICTURE"] img {
display: block;
width: 40px;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 4px;
background: #f6f6f6;
}where the <tt>PICTURE</tt> value in the attribute selector is the table header ID of the image column. Setting only one dimension (in this case the width) scales the image with the correct aspect ratio. (The border, padding and background properties are just eye candy...)
However, scaling large images in the browser this way is a huge waste of bandwidth and produces poorer quality images than creating proper scaled down versions using image tools. For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling you can use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically, as described in this blog post.

How do I display blob (image) in a Portal Report

I am using 9ias 10222 and portal 30983 and I have a table that stores an image as a blob and have a varchar field to store the mime type. I have created a form to upload the image and can then query the form to display the image.
How do I dislay the image in a Portal Report/Dynamic Page Component. I have followed note 68016.1 but the retrieve_img_data procedure does not work it gives a wwv-11230 error.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

Image Quality in PDF Reports

Hi,
I have a rectangular JPG image which is holding the company logo. Most of the image's background is coloured white.
If I import the image into MS Word for example, when I print out the document the image is very high quality, sharp, etc.
When I import this image into an Oracle Reports via menu: insert / image, although it appears fine when looking at it in Report Builder on the 'Paper Layout', when I run the report the image in the output PDF has lost quality and when printed out, the white background (which should be white) prints as as a light shade of grey.
Does anyone know how to stop the loss of quality on the image and how to stop the background of the image printing as light grey ?
I'm running Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
Many Thanks, Mark

This document explains how to increase the image resolution when exporting:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/30407084-c51d-2b10-1f81-813488350e6f
But it's for Crystal Enterprise 8.0, do you know if Crystal Reports 11 will work the same way?

CANNOT DISPLAY A WORD/EXCEL DOC IN BLOB FIELD INTO A PDF REPORT

We created a report that should display several kinds of documents at one time.
These documents are stored in BLOB columns in database. We had no problem to
display txt, gif or jpeg, but we could not display doc, xls, pdf or html
documents.
In this report we set three different fields in which display different kinds
of documents depending on mimetype. The first field has FileFormat property set
to 'Text' in order to display 'text/plain' and 'text/html' mimetype documents.
The second field has it set to 'Image', which allow to display 'image/bmp',
'image/gif', 'image/x-png', 'image/pjpeg' mimetypes. The third field has this
property set to 'OLE2', and here is where we would like to display other
mimetype documents as 'application/msword', 'application/vnd.ms-excel',
'application/pdf'.
We run the report on the web using:
http://<server>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60
?server=<report_server>
&report=<rdf_name>
&destype=localfile
&desname=<report_name.pdf>
&userid=<user>/<password>@orcl9i
&desformat=pdf
<6meters>
I have already read a lot of notes in Metalink but I could not find any
solution. Is there any way to display a Word/Excel document from database in a
report?
We tried to convert Word/Excel docs to html format, but when we tried to
display an HTML document in the report, we found that Oracle Reports displays
the source code instead of the HTML format document. So, this did not work.
What can we do?
We also read somewhere that a possible solution would be to convert Word/Excel
documents to a common format like GIF, JEPD or PDF. If processed as gif or jped
the file could be displayed in the report. If processed as pdf the document
could be linked in the report.
I tried to display a PDF in the report but a blank box is displayed. How can I
do this too?
Any solutions?

Hi,
I have the same problem. I need to show up a BLOB, word file(.doc), in a custom report. I made a simple query, extracting file_date( the column having the blog (.doc) file) from the database, in the report and placed it on a layout by assigning it to a field "F_1". I addressed the file format as OLE2.
But when I run the Report in APPS, it shows up an error "REP-1814: Report cannot be formatted. Object 'horizontally and vertically' can never fit within 'F_1'.". I also played with the layout by changing its size but the response had no change.
I am using Reports6i and the output format of the report is PDF. Is there a way to resolve the issue? Please share the solution if you have any for this.

How to display a BLOB (Image) in a EBS Report?

User requested to add a Logo image to a report which is called from E-Business Suite (EBS).
The image is currently stores in a BLOB column.
How can I make the image to display on the report?
Thanks!

I was trying to use the BLOB and display the image in a report.
Per your suggestion:
"Select the column in your query.
Create an item in the layout editor and set the source to this column.
Set File Format to Image."
My question was I dont know how to "set the source to this column" as you described above.
So, to work around it, I moved the image file phyically to the UNIX file system.
Then, created an item in the layout editor which required a valid "image file path" the property palette.
Since, the report was created under windows, it did not validate with UNIX file path.
That's why i need to perform extra steps to get the file path correct to work in UNIX.
EDIT:
I guess when you said "set the source to this column", you mean to map the "Field source" attribute in the property palette to the database column from query.
But depends on what item you want me to create (I created a "Link File" item) and it does not have the "Field source" attribute available to map to a database column.

Images in PDF reports

I have a report that indicates the health of a project by showing an image, like a stop light. The query looks like this:
select     "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" as "ID",
'<img src="#APP_IMAGES#'||lower(HEALTH)||'.gif">' health_image,
     "PM_PROJECTS"."OWNING_TEAM" as "OWNING_TEAM",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."PROJECT_NAME" as "PROJECT_NAME",
"PM_PROJECTS"."PHASE" as "PHASE",
     "PM_PROJECTS"."HEALTH" as "HEALTH"
from     "PM_PROJECTS" "PM_PROJECTS"
where "PM_PROJECTS"."ID" <> 144
The client likes paper reports, so I have a link to "print" the report to PDF. However, the image does not appear on the PDF version of the report, just an empty column. Is there a way to display the image in PDF output?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I'm actually wondering about the same thing, however, I'd like to implement a BLOB-image in a PDF Report.
I found this link http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/05/05#a34 which makes it seem that BI Publisher supports base64encoded pictures. (There's a sample there aswell)
Now my question is; how can we get the blobdata presented as base64 in the XML from ApEx? Anyone with some experience on this?

Displaying images in pdf reports

a question please..
can one display only .gif type images or can they also be .jpgs?
also, is there a limit to the size of the image one displays?
also, can one control the size of these images in the reports.
sorry about the above. I have looked around for answers with very little success.
thanks in advance.

Oracle lite application not showing blob images in BI reports

Hi,
We have an application running in Oracle lite, we integrated the BI publisher reports (PDF reports are generated Using Data template and RTF file with Java API for BI publisher) with the application. Its been working fine for a long time.
Now we are showing some images on the pdf report, the images are stored in the Oracle lite database as blobs. My application fails when translating the Data template to xml data. I am not getting any exception other than out of memory error after a while.
anybody had the same problem? Let me know if you need more information on this problem.
Any help will be great!!

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

How to embed images in PDF reports - help!

i have gone through the demo at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt2_otn.htm and this works fine UNLESS the image is bigger than say 8Kb.
How do i accomplish embedding an image in a PDF report if these images are (substantially) bigger??
I have tried asking this on this forum a number of times with no success. Is there ANYONE out there that can help me in this urgent matter?
Any help would be venerated.
regards,

Before entering into XSL-FO, I would strongly advise using XML-Spy or a similar product to check the validity of the XSL-FO code.
Also, I found the process to be highly iterative, building up the XSL-FO piece by piece. For this purpose I created a test harness in which I could enter the XML data and the FO sheet and generate the PDF outside of Apex. This saved quite a lot of time as I did not have to delete the report query each time I wanted to apply a change.
Anyway heres the XSL-FO for a letter generated by the system.
I use a bit map for a logo, I checked the size of it and it is 56k.
I'll submit a further post with the test harness.
Also, let me know if you need help installing FOP.
Cheers
Paul

PDF Report with BLOB image

I have a PDF report produced from APEX using BI Publisher. I also have up to 4 images stored in BLOB fields that I would like to include in the PDF report. I found a reference for how to do this with APEX 3.1 (using a blob2clobase64 function), however I am using APEX 3.0 and this does not seem to work with this version. Does anyone have an example of how I can achieve this with APEX 3.0 and BI Publisher? Thanks, Karen.

Inserting images stored as BLOB in table to Oracle Report(10G)

We have some oracle reports(rdf) built in Oracle 10g. Now we are planning to update these reports to include images stored as pdf's on file system. We have loaded these pdf's as blob into tables. Is there a way to include these image/s into the reports.
Thx.

Easy answer: No, this is not possible. You can't show a PDF inside your report.
Since you are talking about just images, why do you even store these images as PDF? Why not as JPG or PNG (if you need best image-quality)?
Using a normal image in a report would be no problem at all.
Complex answer: Yes, this could be possible with an enormous effort.
You could write yourself a Java-Bean which reads the BLOB, uses something like "iText" to convert the PDF to a normal image, and then display this image.
I want to recommend to not use this solution since it introduces a really big complexity into you report where the usual solution of just storing images as images and not PDFs would give you a better result (and way better performance).

Using Dynamic Images in PDF Reports

There are a number of threads in the forum where we talked about dynamically including images in PDF reports before. In order to illustrate one technique you can use for doing this, I put together a sample application that illustrates how to dynamically include images that are stored in BLOB columns. I installed the application on apex.oracle.com and made it available for download and local install. You can find the link and login information for this application as well as the download link here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html

Based on a discussion we had today in another thread, I think it makes sense to add to this thread that the XSL-FO snipped used to get BI Publisher to render images is used when referencing images in a report column, e.g. you included them in your RTF layout using the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Table option. In this case, the column is referenced with “value-of select”:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<xsl:value-of select="LOGO"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
On the other hand, if you want to dynamically include a company logo, or other data that’s not necessarily repeating, e.g. there’s only one value, then you would use the BI Publisher Desktop Insert->Field option . And you would reference your field as follows:
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg">
<?LOGO?>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
So in this case LOGO refers to either a single-value field, or a single-row report column value.

Printing Text below Blob Images to PDF

Hi......I have designed a report to print to PDF. The report will be populated dynamically with blob images anything between 1 to 6 images displayed 2 per row with a text description appearing below each image.
However in certain cases where the other information above the images are long, the images printing overflows into 2 pages. In those circumstances, sometimes i get the text description appearing at the side of the image instead of below it.
Please look at this PDF link showing the above case: Link: [Sample PDF|http://203.211.146.160/website/Sample.pdf]
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does it work if you are not formating with multiple columns? Sometimes formating with multiple columns can be tricky.
I just looked at your sample again and it is pushing the text to the next column before starting a new page. Try splitting the detail line with the text in detail B, and make sure DETAIL still says keep together.
You may just be stuck with it,
