Display a MS Word Document

Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to display a MS Word Document via one of me APEX applications. I realise this may be a complicated process, but can some one point me in the rite direction.
Thanks,
-N.S.N.O.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your replies. I am aware of the security issue here. This application will never be on the internet, as in anyone can connect to it from any where in the world, it will only be accessible from the network of the company form where i work.
Roel please could you expand on what you suggested, how could i make the :J drive accessible and how would i go about making an alias for it?
I have also thought about having the users upload the document to APEX and then select it from within APEX. Sort of like what Paul suggested. Would this be a better approach?
Thanks,
-N.S.N.O.

Can I display a MS Word Document as part of a page

Hi,
Is it possible to display a MS Word document as part of a page (i.e. in a panelForm, panelBox) with ADF Faces? Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Salim

Hi,
No, its impossible. I have never had that requirement, but if you want to review Word document as JSF page fragment, you can try to create helper servlet that gets MS Word and converts it to HTML (e.g using Apache POI - library to access Microsoft format files http://poi.apache.org/ ). Then you can try display this HTML using iframe or <jsp:include> and <f:verbatim> tag in your jsf page. I'ts my fast and free think - I have never tried this.

Displaying PDF and Word Document

Hi,
I have used the methods to display HTML :
1. Link to Action and the IFrame -> The Result was the html file I was able to display in the same window.
2. Link to URL -> The Result was html file opened in different window.
3.IFrame and attaching the file in project -> it was resulted in html file getting dispalyed in IFrame.
Now if I want to extend the functionality for PDF or word document, is the procedure same or different
Can anyone enlighten me on this
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi srikant,
You can also display word documents and pdf by uploading it in the server.
For this you'll have to create aliases in the server for the corressponding documents that you want to uploaad.
Go to visual admin ->services->httpprovider.
Then click the tab 'aliases'. Here you can give the name of your alias and also the document to which the alias should point(first upload the document to the server machine and then give the path here ) .
Now when you type http://server:port/aliasname your document will open in the browser. You can display it either through your iFrame or linktourl as you prefer.
Hope my effort will help you.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hot to display PDF and Word documents as an attachment in OBIEE Reports

Hi,
From few of Oracle threads I learnt that we can store the files in a server locaiton and read it thro a URL. What I am trying to do is, PDF or Word document will be stored in database as BLOB fields. This BLOB field needs to be come as an attachment in OBIEE Reports and by clicking that icon, it uses the local applicaiton PDF reader or a word applicaiton and open the attachment, just like how we open an attachment from a E-mail. Can you please help me with the possible methods of that. I can provide you more information incase if you need.
Thanks
Augesthi

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

Display Word Document as read only in VI pannel

In a VI pannel I put an Active X container with the IE browser to display Word documents.
The document are displayed properly but I want not give the user the possibility to make changes while viewing.
Is there a solution to do so?
(The documents are read-only and can not be saved.)

Why use an IE container to display Word documents? You can place a word document directly in the ActiveX container. This seems a better choice.
If you wish to totally block user-input, you can place a transparent picture control over the display of the Word document.
Another alternative would be to convert the word document to a PDF and show this in an AcviteX container.

Generated Word document from Robohelp HTML

Hi Everyone,
I have two questions regarding the word document i have
generated from RH HTML.
First, in my Word document which i have generated from RH
HTML my footer is not displaying the one i have used in online
help.
Second, the hyperlinks i have in my online help, they are
also not displaying in the Word document.
I would appreciate if anybody who knows the answer to it and
can please let me know.
Thanks

Headers and footers are not transferred across.
Hyperlinks are only available in RH6 or better.
Take a look at the topic on Printed Documentation on my site.

How can I display the date a word document was last modified on my web page?

I have lists of links to word documents on my web pages. I
want to be able to show the date the word document was last
modified next to each link. My pages are straight html.
Thanks.

>but I would have to go to each individual file (I have
hundreds) and put this code on each link.
No, you can use the FileSystemObject to get a list of the
files in the directory. See if you can adapt this for your site:

FormatSize = formatnumber(SizeInBytes / 1024^2,2) & "

elseif SizeInBytes > 1024 then
FormatSize = formatnumber(SizeInBytes / 1024,2) & " KB"
else
FormatSize = SizeInBytes & " Bytes"
end if

Displaying Word Document from a Database

Let me try to explain this.
I can upload and store a Word Document in an Oracle database
(BLOB column) but now I need to extract that Word document and
place a pointer to it on the Web. Can someone explain to me how
this is done?
I'm trying to do something like have an image displayed on
the Web and when you click on it the Word Document is opened.
Follow me on that? So, if there are 15 Word documents in the
database, then the web page would have 15 images all pointing to
each separate Word document.
Has anyone done this?

Don't take my word on this, but I think this should work;
I've done this in the past to send dynamically-generated CSV files
to the user, which is in a way (at least at the perspective of
what's being outputted to the user) the same thing.
First, obviously, you need to retrieve the Word document data
from the database. We'll say you put that in a variable called
'wordDoc'.
<cfset wordDoc = someQuery.wordDataObj />
Next, we need to set the 'Content-disposition' HTTP header,
to tell the client's browser that we're sending a file, and that we
want you to call it somefile.doc by default. We'll do this with the
<cfheader> tag (note that if you use <cfflush> in the
application, this tag (and thus, this approach)
will not work.
<cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename=somefile.doc" />
Almost there. Now we need to set the Content-type HTTP
header, to tell the browser what kind of data is coming, and then
give it the actual file data. We'll use the <cfcontent> tag
to do both of these things.
<cfcontent type="application/msword"
reset="yes">#wordDoc#</cfcontent><cfabort>
If memory serves, this should be all you need. Note the
<cfabort> after the closing <cfcontent> tag, I've had
problems in the past with additional output on the page after these
tags being appended to what gets sent to the browser, so I use a
<cfabort> afterwards to make sure nothing more gets sent
after the data we want. Also, at least with CFMX7, I've noticed
that debugging output tends to get added in too regardless, so I
typically put a <cfsetting showdebugoutput="false" /> at the
top of the file, too.
I can't guarantee this will work, I haven't tested this
particular situation, but if it doesn't, it ought to be close. Let
me know if I'm wrong.
Attached is what should be the code without my commentary /
rambling interspersed.

Upload and display Word Document in WD application

Hello,
I have a WD ABAP appl. where the user wants to upload an Word / Excel file (from its own local drive).
The document shall be saved in SAP and it shall also be possible to display the document later in the WD application.
I implemented the UI element upload in the view, to determine the path of the document.
For the display implemented the UI element Office control.
1. When i browse the document, the properties data, filename and mime type are filled into the bound context elements of the upload UI.
2. The property datasource of the UI office control I bound to the same context element, that is also bound to the property data of the upload UI.
The office control opens a word document, but the document is empty.
Is it possible that the document is not uploaded correct?
In another application I did an upload for a PDF doc.. There I implemented the following coding as action of the button 'Upload'.
data lo_nd_pdf type ref to if_wd_context_node.

Do I need such a code also to upload a word doc?
Which interface / class exists for word documents? (for PDF upload there is the interface IF_FP)
How can I save a document in SAP? (as MIME Object? with which method?)
I hope someone can help me!?

You can use the fileupload and filedownload uielements.
Check these links:
[File Upload|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/b3/be7941601b1d09e10000000a155106/content.htm]
[File Download|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/09/a5884121a41c09e10000000a155106/content.htm]
When you upload a file and save in SAP, are you saving it as xstring.
If yes follow these steps for filedownload.
Follow these steps for file download:
1 Create FileDownload uielement in your View
2.Create an Attribute of type xstring.
3.Bind this attribute to the data property of your Filedownload uielement.
4. during fileuplaod as you are saving the document in xstring format, fetch the same from your database table and pass the value to filedownload i.e set the attribute bound to data property of filedownload uielement with the xstring content.

What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in browser

Hi, Right now I have photos loaded and displayed in my HTML document in the browser next to a report...
What do I need to do to display a MS Word, Excel or PDF document in a browser?
I use the following procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
This gives an EDIT link to the photo...
select
'[img src="#OWNER#.display_thumb?p_file_id=' || nvl(file_catalog_id,0) || '" /]' "File"
from "FILE_CATALOG"
where "FILE_CATALOG_ID" = :P9_FILE_CATALOG_ID
This is the procedure to load the content to the region of my HTML .
create or replace PROCEDURE "DISPLAY_THUMB" (p_photo_id in number)
as
l_mime varchar2(255);
l_length number;
l_file_name varchar2(2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
begin
select mime_type, thumbnail, photo_name, dbms_lob.getlength(thumbnail)
into l_mime, lob_loc, l_file_name, l_length
from photo_catalog where photo_catalog_id = p_photo_id;
-- Set up HTTP header
-- Use an NVL around the mime type and if it is a null, set it to
-- application/octect - which may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- The filename will be used by the browser if the users does a "Save as"
htp.p('Content-Disposition: filename="' || l_file_name || '"');
-- Close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end;

Display word documents in portal content

Hi,
I have some word documents, which i want to display directly in the portal page. To display the documents I have generated a URL for each document and put this URL into an URL iView.
But the problem now is, that it always opens a separate window for the word documents, although I have set the property "Open in portal content" in the iview and "Isolation Method - Embedded" in the portal page.
Does somebody know, which additional settings are needed, to show the documents embedded in the portal page?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Lydia

Hi Lydia,
The "Isolation Method - Embedded" will NOT help at all in your case, the "Open in the portal content area" means that
the iView itself will be opened in the portal content area, instead of a new windows.
In your case, I agree with Raghu that you should use KM Document iView instead of URL iview, so please consider:
1. createa separate KM document iViews for every DOC, make sure "Open in the portal content area" is set.
2. craete a workset and assign the KM Document iViews to this workset
3. assign this workset to a certain role and assign the role to your user.
4. login with this user and try to launch the iview, then the DOC file should be opened in the same browser window
Thanks and best regards,
Thunder
