Can BI Publisher comes with EBize be used to print pdf report from APEX?

Hi,
We have EBiz suit (11.5.10) with APEX 3.2. Both are working fine. I want to enable APEX to develop PDF reports. I would like to know whether I can use BI Publisher comes with EBiz to print PDF from APEX.
If yes where can I get instructions on how to setup APEX with BI Publisher with EBiz.
TIA
DineshS

I'm not aware of the BIP/XMLP Web Services being available in the embedded EBS version (XML Publisher 5.6.3). But you might be able to create your own wrapper to the XMLP APIs in EBS.

Physically printing a report from Apex using BI Publisher

Hi,
I know it is possible to generate and download a PDF (or any other format) in Apex using BI Publisher (Apex 4.0.2)
But is it possible to physically PRINT a report in a specified printer? For example, the user clicks a button and the report comes out of the printer just like that.
Note: I am NOT after a solution where the report is firstly displayed on the screen and then the user performs some action to print it from there (that is pretty easy to do.)
I know that BI Publisher can do it, as its web service has an option to do so.
Thanks
Luis

Hi Luis,
not sure this is possible.
Only SOME of the features of BI Publisher are used from APEX as a service to create the reports.
*) I am not aware of any parameters / attributes in APEX so that you could specify a printer directly
*) It is not part of the API you could use instead manually:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#CHDGFADB
I have just recently implemented that myself for an integration with JasperReports. It is currently in beta test:
http://daust.blogspot.de/2012/08/jasperreportsintegration-200-beta-test.html
Thus your options are:
*) I am not sure that BI publisher allows that but perhaps you could first call the apex utility function apex_util.get_print_document to retrieve the blob from bi publisher. Then perhaps (if allowed) send the blob again by yourself and using the print features of bi publisher.
Here you would have to write the utl_http communication yourself.
*) If bi publisher doesn't allow the separate process (generation first and then sending it to a printer) then you would also have to write a j2ee application which does that.
*) another option could be to store the generated blob in the filesystem on the database and call a shell script from within the database. This shell script would send it to the network printer.
Hope that helps,

Window.open function in java script used to open the BI report from APEX

Hi,
I have some oracle reports now which I converted to BI publisher and the reports are now in BI publisher.
My question is
To open the BI report from APEX using a button the following code i have written
window.open
('http://bipubdvserver/xmlpserver/testreport/testreport.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&p_dept_no=&deptno',"mywindow");
I want to pass the parameter deptID dynamically to call the BI report.
But when I click on the button it is showing the file open/save dialog box without accepting the parameter and finally showing the blank pdf.
but I want to enter the parameter value dynamically that is when click on button it should allow me to enter the deptno eg. 10 then should show the data related to dept 10 in pdf..
how to accomplish this could you please help me.
thanks very much in advance.

i got this please ignore the post.

Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

If your phone carrier supports it (and it may be an extra fee/subscription), then yes you can use the iPhone's personal hotspot function to share its connection with the iPad - the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network.

Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

Hi all,
I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
Points to be rewarded..
Thanks.
Regards,
Zaheed.

Hi Zaheed,
Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
     1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
         two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
         each..
      2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
          format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
Try this out and let us know your findings...
Enjoy SAP.

If i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other

They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime. Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server.

How to add entire new row at the top of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp

Hi for past 3 days i was thinking and breaking my head on how to add entire new at top table created in pdf report from c# windows forms with iTextSharp.
First: I was able to create/export sql server data in form of table in pdf report from c# windows forms. Given below is the code in c#.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
namespace DRRS_CSharp
public partial class frmPDFTechnician : Form
public frmPDFTechnician()
InitializeComponent();
private void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer= PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("Technician22.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPTable inner = new PdfPTable(1);
inner.WidthPercentage = 115;
PdfPCell celt=new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Paragraph("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",14,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK))));
inner.AddCell(celt);
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select t.technician_id,td.Technician_first_name,td.Technician_middle_name,td.Technician_last_name,t.technician_dob,t.technician_sex,td.technician_type from Techniciandetail td,Technician t where td.technician_id=t.technician_id and td.status=1", conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader dr;
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
table.AddCell("ID");
table.AddCell("First Name");
table.AddCell("Middle Name");
table.AddCell("Last Name");
table.AddCell("DOB" );
table.AddCell("Gender");
table.AddCell("Designation");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[0].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[1].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[6].ToString());
dr.Close();
table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(inner);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
The code executes well with no problem and get all datas from tables into table in PDF report from c# windows forms.
But here is my problem how can i align Title(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) center of pdf report with image named:logo5.png immediately coming to it's right?.
As the problem i am facing is my title or Header(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) is at top of my image named:logo5.png and not coming to it's center position of my image.
Second the problem i am facing is how to add new entire row to top of existing table in pdf report from c# windows form using iTextSharp?.
given in below is the row and it's data . So how do i add the given below row and it's data to my top my table in pdf report from c# windows forms using itextsharp?
as you can see how i create my columns in table in pdf report and populate it with sql server data. Given the code below:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());

para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");

I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

Why can't I print PDF files from my iPad or smart phone. Just started this recently.

Not able to print PDF files from either my iPad or smart phone

You probably don't have a printer which supports AirPrint:

If your printer is not supported, you can buy a utility like PrinterPro from Readdle on the App Store. That's what I've used to print.

I can't print pdf files from my macbook air

Hi, I am unable to print pdf files from the internet using my macbook air - I have the latest Adobe Reader, but still no help.....thoughts??

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
