Display a PDF Document from a standard transacction

Hi.
I need to display a PDF document located in a server outside SAP. The idea is to implement a menu exit and add a new button to a standard transaction. When the user press the new button a PDF document must be displayed.
I want to know if this solution is possible and if you know any function in SAP to display a PDF document.
Thanks.
Diana.

Problem in getting complete display in pdf document from spool

Hi,
I have a report1 which calls another report2 in the background. The report2 which is run in the background produces some output and thus generated a spool.
Report1 then gets the spool number generated from report2 and converts it to a pdf document .
The problem is that the complete width of data in spool is not coming on pdf.
Forex , if the spool contains following records:
1. AAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBCCCCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDDDDDDDDD
2. SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUU
when this is converted to pdf, the pdf doc will display data as:
1. AAAAAAAABBBBBBBB
2. SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE
Complete width is not coming in the pdf document.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Can this be handled by ABAP or BASIS team needs to be include to solve this..All ideas are welcome...

Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

Hi,
Any help will be very much appreciated....
I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
Here's the steps I've done:
1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
<output type="data-structure" >
<dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
<group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
<element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</output>
5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
6. Created and saved the report.
7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
Version of BI and Adobe
Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

Display PDF document from Servlets to browser - how 2 change the title

Hi, need help of changing the html title when Display PDF document from Servlets to browser. By default the browser's title shows the obsolute URL where the rdf comes from (i.e. http://www.google.com/sample.pdf), because servlet responds a binary data (PDF), there seems to be no other way to change the browser's title to fit my own choice.
Appreciate your quick help,

You can try and check with
.setTitle("Welcome");

Display PDF document from Servlets to browser

Hi All,
I am displaying a PDF document in Servlet after reading the stream. PDF size is of more than 3MB, so it takes a lot of time to get downloaded and to display on the browser.
Is there anyway to display the initial pages to the browser (whatever data has been sent ). Can you please help me in this.
Please treat it as urgent
Thanks in advance,
Purav

I have to ask:
Why are you trying to pump a PDF to the client? Is it stored in a database rather than to the file system? Or...are you trying to display a PDF file in HTML format so end users don't need Acrobat?
If neither of these is the case, couldn't you just send a response.redirect("path to PDF file") and get the same result without all the headache?
If case 1 (the PDF is stored in the database and not the filesystem), you may want to ask why? You could simply create a table that maps some document_id to a local file path. That way if you need to delete it or change it, you know what and where it is.
If case 2 (you want to read a PDF and display as HTML to the client) you should use a parser like:

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to display a PDF document to be obtained from a virtual repository and then display it on a popup window.
Thanks

PS: any code snippet or link explaining the above will be helpful

Use should the ShowProperty servlet in a link or javascript, e.g.:
<a href="/mywebapp/ShowProperty/path/to/pdf/node
target="someOtherWindow">pdf</a>
pdf
Or, with dyamic node retrieveal (from search or contentSelector,
assuming node is the pdf Node):
<a href="/mywebapp/ShowProperty<cm:getProperty node='<%=node%>'
name='cm_path' conversionType='url'/>
target="someOtherWindow">pdf</a>
<a href="javascript:window.open(
'/mywebapp/ShowProperty<cm:getProperty node=<%=node%">"
name="cm_path" conversionType="url"/>',
'SomeOtherWindow',
'height=400,width=400,scrollbars=auto,resizeable=yes');return false;">

Display word/pdf document in the HTML region or report

Hi,
How to display blob content stored in a table in HTML region or report region.
I already have a process to display the image content.
But my question here is how to display word/pdf document within the html region so that the user can read the document without downloading it.
Any suggestions/solutions would be of great help.
Thanks in advance...
Thanks,
Ramesh P.

I was dead wrong.
The display of images from BLOB is a special case because APEX provides a Display Image item type.
Moreover, HTP/HTF packages also do not provide for handling of BLOB content. So AJAX cannot be used.
Which implies that the only way to get binary content, other than images, is with the use of a WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE call.
This in turn implies that it may not be feasible to "inject" the BLOB into an exist HTML DOM in the Browser.
Regards,

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.

You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
Default: PDF/A 1-b
Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
Check the following check boxes
View Adobe PDf Results,
Add Document Information,
Rely on system fonts only,
Delete Log files for successful jobs.
Select OK
A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
Hope this will help.

Hi.
Does this only open on that specific site?
In any case, you may want to:
- instruct Firefox to handle PDF files in a specific way by going into Tools > Options > Applications and selecting the option you want for the PDF files
- reinstall Adobe Reader and its Firefox plugin
- install another reader instead of Adobe Reader. I recommend Foxit Reader ( http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ ), since it's free, VERY light, VERY fast, safe and also has a Firefox plugin (make sure you don't have both Adobe Reader plugin and Foxit Reader plugin enabled/installed at the same time in Firefox)

HT1296 how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

Hello
how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

To copy PDFs to the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports PDFs - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the PDF to your chosen app will depend upon what the app that you have/get supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app (syncing PDFs to iBooks) and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.
