Can XI produce a PDF format files using a file adapter

Hi,
Currently I have a requirement to send a PDF file to the legacy system. I'm not sure whether XI has the capability to do this. Appreciate if somebody could help me on this. The requirement is like from SAP we will send a data stream to XI and XI has to produced a form in PDF by populating the data on the PDF layout.
Appreciate if somebody have any experienced with this development can share with me.
Thanks
Zab

Hi,
there's a number of command line tools
that you can trigger using the file adapter - command line paramater (even with "output format management" )
like:
http://www.xmlpdf.com/xmlpdf-examples-net.html
http://www.yeslogic.com/prince/guide/command-line
just go to google and you'll find many more:)
BTW
form help.sap.com
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
- %f (file name)
- %F(absolute file name including path)

Yes, as Bernd suggested you can download Acrobat XI 30 day trial from Adobe.com http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en (Windows) to check if that meets your requirements.

Can any body help me out on this..

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Reading a multiple record types from a single File using BPEL file adapter

Hi all.
We have a requirement where we want to read a CSV file using the BPEl adapter.
Following is the sample of csv file
HDR,1,2,3
---- First transaction starts----
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
TD,1
-------Second transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,2
TD,1
TD,1
-------------Third Transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
TD,1
TD,1
TD,1
TD,1
-------------Fourth Transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
LN,1,1,1,1,2
-----End of File---
TAIL
I have modified the file with some comments to have some clear understanding.
Basically our file is a transactions file from legacy system & contains mutliple transactions
First line will be a Header record starting "HDR" & contains all summary details about the file.
After it is details of all transactions thorughout the day, each transaction begins with record starting "TH".As shown in all transactions above.EAch transaction can have other multiple records like the RSD & TD shown above.
Our need is to read each transaction from the file & create an instance.How can we configure BPEL to grab the data starting with TH till it encounter's another TH.
Please advise
Krunal

You can't use the wizard to create a schema if a file as complex as this. the good news is that you can create one yourself. What you need to do is create standard xsd that will handle your file, then what you do is add the terminators that determine when a field stops.
Here is an example, hopefully this provides you enough infor for you to make your own.

ADF mobile: how do I upload a file using the rest adapter api

Hello,
I want to upload files using the rest adapter. How would I upload files such as pdfs, images (png, jpg ..) etc.. Some code would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks Frank,
The back-end is functioning in the following way (using Jersey and handling input streams):
    @POST
    @Path("/uploadFile")
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    public Response uploadFile(@FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream, @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {
        String uploadedFileLocation = "D:\\temp\\uploadsTest\\" + fileDetail.getFileName();
        // save it (this function reads from the input stream)
        writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
        String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;
        return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
     Is there a way to send data over a stream?
     Thanks,

Can't uncheck 'display PDF in browser using' on mac

Reader 10.0.0
'display PDF in browser using' in the Internet preferences is stuck on to Adobe Reader. The checkbox is checked/disabled, and cannot be unchecked.
Also, viewing a PDF in the browser via FTP sticks the entire browser (hence my reason for noticing/disabling this plugin)
Had to remove the plugin file from file:///Library/Internet%20Plug-Ins/ to remove.

Hi,
Firstly during the installation of Reader X, there is an option of Customize Install. You can uncheck the Safari browser plugin from there. But this was possible before install. Now since you have installed in default mode (with above option checked during install) the method to disable plugin is as follows:
To disable the plugin-
1. Go to Library > Internet Plug-Ins
2. You will see AdobePDFViewer.plugin in the list of plugins
3. Create a new folder called Disabled Plug-Ins
4. Move the AdobePDFViewer plugin into the Disabled Plug-Ins folder
5. Restart Safari
In future if you want to re-enable this then you can put this plugin back to its original location or Reinstall Reader X (if you have permanently deleted the plug-in from your system). Reinstallation works as installing in repair mode.
AcrobatX/ReaderX uses MANAGED installation method on Mac(as compared to MANUAL installation method used in earlier versions). In case of manual installation method installation and repair was dependent on "Self heal" mechanism that required the admin privileges each time it was invoked. This raised a bit of concern so to remove this Adobe now uses Managed installation method and discontinued Self Heal mechanism.
You can check out this link for more information or if you want to track this discussion -

How to format the spaces in a text file using bat file scripting

Currently the records in my text file are like this:
100239 0000015.00
QRP
I want them to be like this:
100266 0000015.00 QRP
There should be 6 spaces before the first column and 8 spaces after that. There should be 1 space between the second and third columns.
Generally this file contains approx 1000 records.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

So far it's like this:
for /f "skip=2 delims=*" %%a in (C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt) do (
echo %%a >>C:\newfile.txt
xcopy C:\newfile.txt C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt /y
del C:\newfile.txt /f /q
I've to format a text file generated by the tool Microstrategy and it feed it to another system in a specific format. Ihave removed the headers with the above script but was unable to remove the spaces between those columns.
You can use this code as a basis for your script:
@echo off
set Line=
if exist d:\temp\newfile.txt del d:\temp\newfile.txt
for /F "skip=2 tokens=1-2" %%a in (d:\temp\test.txt) do call :Sub %%a %%b
goto :eof
:Sub
if not "%2"=="" (
set Line= %1 %2
) else (
echo %Line% %1>>d:\temp\newfile.txt
It works provided that your input file uses this format:
Header line
Header line
100239 0000015.00
QRP
100240 0000016.00
QRR
100241 0000017.00
QRS
100242 0000018.00
QRT
100243 0000019.00

I have tried playing around with the File Adapter and the ESB but not having much luck. Can someone provide any suggestions on how I can handle this?

James,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have come across your post previously.
Please excuse my in-experience (very new to SOA and Oracle SOA Suite) but i have not understood how your post regarding the manual creation of an XSD will assist with my problem. Could you possibly further elaborate on the overall approach i should be taking?

Could not display output in PDF format from a RDF file

Hi all,
I'm calling a report file (.RDF) from the browser using RWCGI.EXE, and specified the output in PDF format, but it always asking me to download the active-X for the PDF file generated by the report. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on my machine, what could be the problem?
thanks in advance.

I had the same problem.
As a quick fix, what I enventually did, if you are using WebDB and CGI, is to create an alias in the cgicmd.dat file.
It worked after.
Example of line:
===============
web41pdf: report=web_41.rdf server=Rep60_Z11734 userid=DEMO6I/DEMO6I@PERSOEM destype=cache desformat=PDF tolerance=1440
Then you call the URL http://<web site>/rw60cgi?web41pdf
Yet I would be glad to understand why I also get this message.

Font problem in reports produced in PDF format

Dear all,
All our reports are developed by developer suite 10g (under windows) and deployed on an Application Server 10g (on Linux).
We had a problem with displaying the arabic letters, but this was solved by following the steps in the metalink Note no 726205.1 for generating arabic pdf reports on unix.
Now, the problem is that the font used in the reports is ARIAL, but when the reports are displayed (in PDF format) the font is TAHOMA. This font conversion happens in both Arabic and English reports !
I wonder how can I correct this behaviour.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Naglaa

Steve,
I remember that fonts in PDF generated by Oracle Reports is a big topic and a subject of many Metalink notes (metalink.oracle.com).
Note.210318.1 Ext/Pub How To use font embedding in Reports 9i for PDF output
Note.207711.1 Ext/Pub How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i for PDF Output
Note 232975.1 "Windows/Unix Font Issues: What Information is Required to address the Issue and How to Work Around Issue"
Especially on Unix and Linux systems, there are some font mapping required. I suggest to run this question on the Reports forum here on OTN where I think you have better chances for an answer.

Opening bank data files in a PDF format not working, the file defaults to Quicktime and only displays one page.

Opening bank data files, while logged into the bank or brokerage sites, by clicking on the PDF or file name icon, is supposed to open in PDF format but instead opens only a single page in Quicktime. This also happened several years ago in Leopard and required the removal of Quicktimeplugin.plugin. I have tried doing that in Lion with no success. Any thoughts?

Gerry Brown wrote:
"from that page" does not make sense.
The file exists in a folder on your machine, correct?
If not, you need to download the file from your bank. Or use "Save as" in the browser.
No the file is on the Webpage he is visiting.
@ OP Right click on it and select Save File As. then save it to your HDD. Then open it.
