Display blob content as pdf file

Dear Expert,
Currently i'm using oracle apex 3.0.1.
I'm having a problem on displaying blob content (from database table) as pdf file on oracle application express but i'm able to save to download the pdf.
Below is the procedure that i used to display blob content,
PROCEDURE lf_html_pdf (pv_image IN VARCHAR2, pv_index IN NUMBER) is
l_mime VARCHAR2 (255);
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);
lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
begin
selecT OI_BLOB,DBMS_LOB.getlength (OI_BLOB)
into lob_loc,l_length
from ord_img
where oi_tno= pv_image
and oi_ti='PDF'
and oi_idx=pv_index;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (l_mime, 'application/pdf'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
END lf_html_pdf;
I get the error message as below when i execute the procedure above;
Error report:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "SYS.OWA_UTIL", line 356
ORA-06512: at "SYS.OWA_UTIL", line 415

ORA-06512: at line 2
*06502. 00000 - "PL/SQL: numeric or value error%s"*
I'm appreciated if expert can have me on the problem above?
Thanks

Table of contents in PDF files

IBooks gives two options for displaying the Table of Contents for PDF files—thumbnails or a conventional table. The thumbnails view is useless to me, and I would like the conventional table view to appear by default. Unfortunately, the TOC almost always appears in thumbnails view, and I have to manually select the list view.
Is there any way to set the list view as the default TOC view for PDF files?
Thanks.

Hi Michael,
When you combine files into a single PDF, each file you include will have a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I suppose you could treat that as a Table of Contents. (It doesn't, however, create a separate TOC and append it to the file.) The bookmark names reflect the filename of each file you combined.
I hope that answers your question.
Best,
Sara

Hi,
you can try to use the:
ConsumerTreeListPreview
layout for KM navigation ivew (or customize to your own).
This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.
Hope this helps,

Read contents inside pdf file programmatically in SharePoint

I have a SharePoint document library, My Requirement is when user add PDF file on the document library the event receiver fire and read contents inside
pdf file programmatically. After the start workflow according to the result of event receiver.

If your question is about handling events in apps for SharePoint, see these links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj220051%28v=office.15%29.aspx
If what you need is a way to extract text from the PDF inside the event handler, see this example that uses leadtools.
http://support.leadtools.com/CS/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=43894
You should use PDF text extractor in your Event Handler code -
You can use iTextSharp for reading content

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it?

Does Acrobat Pro read the content in pdf file and transforms it to xls file without the need for much changes or manual work?

Acrobat X (Standard and Pro) will save tabular data to XLS or XLSX format, provided it can recognize the table as being a table. If the PDF has missing or incorrect structure tags, Acrobat will try to guess the table layout by the position of text and lines on the page - this works well for basic formatting but if the table has complex styling, spanned cells etc. it can lead to problems.
Acrobat X will even attempt to export a table within a scanned document, by applying OCR during the export stage - though again this relies on the table being visually identified.
See http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/pdf-to-word-excel-converter.html and this article on how to extract one table from a larger document.

Display BLOB contents to client

I want to display the blob contents in the clients window and give him the option either to open or save the contents. I am able to read the contents from Oracle Blob Field and stored the contents in the ByteArrayOutputStream object but I am not able to open the contents for the client. I am using the following code
Blob blob = resultSet.getBlob(1);
int length = (int)blob.length();
byte [] b = blob.getBytes(1, length );
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.write(b,0,length);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename="+baos );
Please help me

I am able to see the blob contents in the client window but the file does not show as attachment which is my main purpose-- to give the user the option either to open the file or to save the file on his machine. I am also setting the setHeader as attachment , but nothing happens....and sometimes it shows a dialog box to open my jsp file itself rather than the desired file... sending you the code ..please help
File file1 = new File("c:\\Test.java");
byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)file1.length()];
BufferedInputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file1));
is.read(buffer, 0, (int)file1.length());
is.close();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.write(buffer, 0, (int)file1.length());
System.out.println(baos.toString());
byte[] pass = baos.toByteArray();
response.setHeader("Content-Desposition", "attachment;filename=untitled.java");
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
//Send content to Browser
ServletOutputStream servletOut = response.getOutputStream();
servletOut.write(pass);
servletOut.close();

How do I get commands to display on a "full screen" display of a downloaded PDF file?

In recent months, more and more downloaded PDF files are displayed on my Mac Pro without the command line at the top of the page. This makes using & managing the documents difficult, and sometimes impossible. I can gain access to a limited number of commands by clicking on the doc, but noto nearly the range of commands available when the command line is visible. I still have many older PDF files that display in the usual manner. Is this a change associated with Lion or the latest Adobe update? Or, si there a command I do not know about that will restore the command line?

Adobe Reader for iOS doesn't have command lines.

How to display the content of a file in the portal?

Hey guys, could anyone help?
I just created a page which includes two iView, one is KM Navigation iView to display a certain repository, while the other is for displaying the content of a certain file I click in the navigation iView.
And now the problem is when I click a file in the KM Navigation iView, it will pop up a new window to display it. How can I make it displayed in a fixed iView, which type of this iView should be?

Hi,
you can try to use the:
ConsumerTreeListPreview
layout for KM navigation ivew (or customize to your own).
This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.
Hope this helps,

Display Blob content in HTML Region

Hello,
I'm trying to display the contents of an .htm file in an html region. I can get it to display as a link but I can't get it to display as an image. I have a page item that is display as text (do not save state). For the source value I use a PL/SQL function body. I use the following code to display the image,
return '<img scr="#OWNER#.get_help_doc?p=U76.htm></img>';
I get the broken link symbol.
However, if I display it as a link as follows, it works:
return '<a href="#OWNER#.get_help_doc?p=U76.htm'
|| '">Help</a>';
How can I display the .htm file as an image? Thanks, Elizabeth

Where should the Green Tick get displayed in digitally signed pdf files in whom the Signature has been validated ?

I have Windows 7 & Adobe 11 installed on my P.C (Apart from other Software) . Recently I downloaded Digitally Signed .pdf files & validated the Signature with Trust Certificates . However , the Green Tick Mark is coming on the left-hand side of a blue panel situated in-between the menu bar & the document . Shouldn't it be coming at the bottom right side of the document (Just above the name of the signatory) ? Is there anyway I can get the green tick to display at the bottom right side of the document or is this just the way the green tick gets displayed in current versions of adobe reader ?
This is the way it gets displayed on the top - left portion of the screen :
However , it does not get displayed in the below manner :

First of all, you need an app on the iPad that can read those files that you want to transfer. Adobe Reader and iBooks are two free apps that will read PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust than iBooks as it offers so many more features like renaming files, creating folders, annotating, highlights, etc.
Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. Then read this about file sharing with iTunes.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
There are other ways to get files to the iPad, like email, DropBox and some other apps that let you mount your iPad like a flash drive.
This should be helpful as well.

Are the contents of PDF files indexed via O365?

I have been testing PDF files on Office 365. The content of the PDF files do not appear to be indexed .. as no search results are found using any of the terms within the PDF file. I have seen documentation that indexing should be occurring, and
lots of threads that it does not.
So
1. When I load PDF files, are the contents indexed (similar to how the iFilter works on on premise)?
2. If not, any options? Any settings (can't find any), etc.
Thanks

You are going to provide some more information than that. Nobody here can begin to guess what files you are talking about, where you are experiencing this behavior, when you are experiencing this behavior, what you are doing when the contents disappear .......

Is it possible to display the content of a file in flex as it is written. E.G. a log file

I have flex app sitting on a Linux server.
I want to be able to spool the content of a file on the same server as the flex app to the users screen using say a textarea or similar.
The file is some type of log so its going to constantly have lines added. Is there a way to do this ? I am guessing I need to constantly refresh the flex app with the file content.

Yes you can. Small example for you:

Mail will NOT display a multi-page pdf file in the body.

I want to send an email with a multi-page PDF attached that is displayed in the email- so that readers don't even have to click on the pdf to open it. Can I do that? I can do a single page, and I did determine that if I save all the pages of the document as single pds and then attach those, that works, but is there a way to display a multi-page pdf? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not use pages - there are several possible solutions to your situation - in pages you should be able to do a send pdf to iPhoto and then in iPhoto you can create an e-mail with smaller (and harder to read) images- you may be able to produce smaller (lower quality) PDFs in pages (don't know), you can change e-mail servers - use a different one it you have multiple accounts or get a free gmail account or other new account that will handle your needs
