Thanks,
JY

As andreas said u cant see the pdf file as image
but if u want to see it then u can use adobe reader.
Because PDF file is not in jpg,gif or in bmp format.
In Blob column u can store doc,excel,Mp3 songs etc etc but for viewing and for playing u have to use different sofwares.
I hope its clear now.

Some JPG images, stored in DB, do not display on screen/image item.

Hi friends,
I have a form to save and retrieve images (JPG, GIF, TIF) to and from DB, using WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB and CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE respectively.
It’s working fine, but with few JPG images, it stores in DB but do not display on screen/image item.
Secondly, if I try to retrieve and write this JPG to OS (using CLIENT_IMAGE.WRITE_IMAGE_FILE), it prompts error “FRM-47101: Cannot write image file”.
Environment:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2
OS XP Pro 2002 SP3
Oracle DB 11g Enterprise Edition Rel. 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I have done a workaround here, which worked for me.
My requirement is to direct save images in DB. So my system was just saving images without knowing if picture would display on form or not later.
I created a (non-DB) image item on form and added a code (CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE) to place image in this image item, if it successfully display image then save image directly in DB using code (WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.CLIENT_TO_DB).
Note: - If CLIENT_IMAGE.READ_IMAGE_FILE fails it raises exception and it means image has invalid format/internal data header and system does not save image in DB.
Now I have a kind of a filter to stop saving pictures which do not display later on form. :)

Firefox is not displaying PDFs correctly images are coming out really black?

Compare this web link in Firefox to any other browser and you will see the difference.
http://rbhsound.com/images/literature/lit_ctxseries.pdf
This image displays correctly in Internet Explorer.
Has something changed in Firefox recently, I have never had this problem before?
Working in Windows 7 with the latest version of Mozilla

In Firefox, are you viewing your PDF in the built-in PDF viewer? You can check whether it makes any difference to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin. This article has the steps to switch between them: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
(I just installed Firefox 30, so my results may not be relevant to Firefox 29, but the images look the same to me in the viewer and in the stand-alone Adobe Reader.)

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image

How to retain focus in Web forms 6i item when displaying pdf image in a multi-record block?
Hello.
I have a Web Forms 6i program (version Forms 6.0.8.19.2) running in a 3-tier application. The web form program has a multi-record block containing invoices. When navigating to a record, the form should display the PDF invoice image which is stored in an Oracle 8.1.7 database as a BLOB in another window. When user press down-arrow, the next PDF invoice image should be displayed.
I am able to accomplish the functionality above by using web.show_document('URL', target') in the when-new-record-instance. The URL being called is a PL/SQL Web Toolkit stored procedure using wpg_docload.download_file built-in.
The problem is that the focus is lost on the Webform and the focus is shifted to the PDF image window when you navigate to the next record using down-arrow. I want to retain the focus in the form as this is a data-entry form, the operator will use down-arrow to go to the next-record rather than the mouse. I also only want to do this for this Invoice Entry form and NOT to all forms.
Please advise how to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

Magesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

Forms 6i - display into image item picture stored in blob type on database

hi to all
i searched on this forum but in don't found solution my problem.
I created table with a column blob and i design form that insert and display image stored in database ( oracle 9i )
i used image item type with block database based
my version forms is
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.13.0 (Production)
if i define column table like "long raw" it worked but i used blob i insert but i don't display image
error is:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected got
thanks a lot to all
bye

I know, that the false forms-version (patch) gives you this errors. Try a newer patchset. For example patch 13-15 (for 9i), or 17 (10g rel. 1)

Apex 4.0 display image item :BLOB column returned by SQL statement

Hello
I'm creating an display image item in apex 4.0. The source is a BLOB column returned by SQL statement.
When I'm issuing an sql statement like this:
   select lado.blob_content
   from   large_documents      lado
   ,        large_doc_headers    ladh
   where lado.ladh_nr = ladh.nr
   more criteriait works fine.
When I create a function inside a package with the same query (in a cursor)
function get_image(some parameters in) return blob
Following in apex by:
select get_image(some parameters) from dualI get a
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smallAnybody any idea why this does not work?
Regards Erik

Hi Eric,
the environment assumes varchar2-output by default, which will be limited to 32767 characters and may have problems with binary formats. You could define a blob-variable to select the value into.
DECLARE
l_blob BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT get_image(some parameters)
    INTO l_blob
    FROM dual;
END;
/If you expect the BLOB-Content to be text (you should consider CLOB then), you may use UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2 to convert the content. If your object is larger than the maximum varchar2 size, or you want to convert BLOB to CLOB, you might be interested in some converter like described here: {message:id=559749}
Hope this is what you were searching for.

Problems displaying image in image item

Hi,
I have some tiff images on filesystem. which i sucessfully loaded into the database and are stored in blob column, thru SQL*Plus. when i tried to view these images in image item on my form, some of them doesn't show up. i checked the the length of the blob column, to see whether the image is actually loaded into the database and i found that the length is greater zero(infact very high). then i tried to load the image, which doesn't show up, from forms by read_image_file, neither it loads the image nor it displays an error.
iam using oracle8i database and forms6.0.
any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Krupal.

thanx feng,
i have tried to load the images thru forms into the database by using read_image_file. but some of the images are not showing up in the image item. i seriously doubt there is something wrong with the image file itself. the image files are in tiff format but saved with an extension .000 file for some reasons. now i doubt that all that images are not tiff files, some of them may be of some other type. bcos when i tried to save one of them as a tiff file it took more space than what it was earlier. after saving as tiff file the form loads the image successfully. is there anyway way that i can load the image in whatever form it is? or is there any way to convert automatically these images to tiff format?

How to resize display image item?

How to resize an image in display image item not in column?
I find a way to resize it in column which similar to this way
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(PLAYER_PIC),0),0,null,
'<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius:
4px;" '||
'src="'||
apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P5_PLAYER_PIC',ROWID)||
'" height="75" width="75" alt="Player Image" title="Player Image" />')
detail_img
but when I try to implement it to display image item which I returned the image from the column, I cant resize it this way, or may be I used wrong syntax, can you please help me finding way to resize it with steps?

I guess it is because of some carriage returns in your dynamic img tag that is being generated may be not, so make sure there are no breaks half-way through he attributes of the img tag.
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(PLAYER_PIC),0),0,null, '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '|| 'src="'|| apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P5_PLAYER_PIC',ROWID)|| '" height="75" width="75" alt="Player Image" title="Player Image" />') detail_imgand also inspect the element/img to see if the code is rendered correctly
Thanks

Problem displaying PDF stored in BLOB column

Hello everyone.
I've been trying to follow this tutorial http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::p11_question_id:232814159006 on displaying PDFs stored in BLOB columns. This is being performed on Apex 4.2, with my DB running 11g. I've got my procedure, which I'll post below:
create or replace procedure "PDF" (p_id IN gvo_documents.doc_id%type)
is
    l_lob    blob;
    l_amt    number default 30;
    l_off   number default 1;
    l_raw   raw(4096);
begin
    select contents into l_lob
        from gvo_documents
         where doc_id = p_id;
-- make sure to change this for your type!
    owa_util.mime_header( 'application/pdf' );
    begin
        loop
          dbms_lob.read( l_lob, l_amt, l_off, l_raw );
          htp.prn( utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( l_raw ) );
          l_off := l_off+l_amt;
          l_amt := 4096;
    end loop;
        exception
           when no_data_found then
              NULL;
        end;
end;
I am trying to run this through a PL/SQL dynamic region and while I don't receive any error's, the content displayed is a huge mess of garbled text and odd characters. I've tried to run this procedure on numerous other document types, including word files and jpeg images, all with the necessary changes in my procedure, and regardless of what I use, I still get a large mess of strange characters. Does anyone have any information or ideas about why this is happening?

If I understand correctly, your requirements needs to be broken down into two problems:
1) click link that pops up a window displaying a new APEX page
2) an APEX page the displays the document, not downloads it.
I haven't done #1 (yet).
However, you may be able to generate a URL that points to the new page as part of the SELECT statement for the Report.
This has a related question, but no answer yet:
open pdf in popup browser window
The key is target="_blank" for the anchor tag.
To generate the URL, you should use the APEX_UTIL.prepare_URL() function.
If that doesn't work, a Dynamic Action that does some magical JavaScript stuff may be needed.
For #2, I lost the URL that showed how to display a PDF as part of a "form" page.
From what I remember:
Start with a blank page with one blank HTML region (all the Items go in the HTML region)
Add an Item for the PK/Doc_ID
part I forgot Create a Data Manipulation Process
- Automated Row Fetch
- On Load - After Header
- (stuff for your table/view)
part I forgot Create an (I believe) "File Browser" item type. For Settings:
- Storage Type "BLOB column specified in Item Source" (and place the column name of the BLOB there)
- MIME Type Column: (column name) -- since you have multiple types, this is a MUST HAVE
- Filename Column: (column name) -- I highly recommend you have this.
- Content Disposition == INLINE <-- this is the kicker
Also, you will need a Browser Plugin for each of the MIME Types (otherwise, the browser may try to 'download' the file)
Browsers can handle Image types internally. Adobe's plugin can handle PDFs. I don't know about Word/Excel.
Again, I don't remember the exact details, but that should cover most of it.

Displaying PDF file in forms running on UNIX server

I want to display a PDF document in the form.
I have explored the following two options:-
1) Using Image item - PDF format is not supported by forms
2) OLE - Is supported only on WIN and MAC
Does any body know of any reusable java bean that can be used to display PDF file inside the form?
Thanks

Java Beans only work on the Web. If you are on teh Web then an option would be to reference to the pdf document by using web.show_document() built-in

How to make a PDF embedded image append a report and send via fax electronically from MS SSRS 2012?

How can I make a PDF embedded image append a SSRS 2012 report and send via fax all electronically? Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hello,
1. The report item Image can be used to display the image which embedded in the report, stored in a database, stored on the report server, or stored elsewhere on the Web.
For example, you can embedded the PDF image in the report and stored as text in the report definition.
2.Reporting Services includes an e-mail delivery extension and a file share delivery extension which you can send report to user or group through e-mail or send the report to a shared location on your network.
If you want to send the report to FAX, you may try to create a custom delivery extension depend on your faxing software.

How to display pdf file with java code?

Hi All,
i have a jsp pagein that page if i click one icon then my backing bean method will call and that method will create pdf document and write some the content in that file and now i want to display that generated pdf document.
it should look like you have pressed one icon and it displayed pdf file to you to view.
java code below:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"" + temppdfFile);
resp.encodeRedirectURL(temppdfFile.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(temppdfFile, out);
out.flush();
and above temppdfFile is my generated pdf file.
when i am executing this code, it was opening dialog box for save and cancel for the file, but the name of the file it was showing me the "jsp file name" with no file extention (in wich jsp file i am calling my backing bean method) and type is "Unknown File type" and from is "local host"
it was not showing me open option so i am saving that file then that file saved as a pdffile with tha name of my jsp file and there is nothing in that file(i.e. empty file).
what is the solution for this. there is any wrong in my code.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance

ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(bulkBarcodes, out);
out.flush();
return "success";
This is my action method which will call when ever i press a button in my jsp page.
This method will create the barcode for the given barcode number and write that barcode image in pdf file
(i saw that pdf file which i have created through my above method, This PDF file opening when i was opening manually and the data init that is also correct means successfully it writes the mage of that barcode)
This method taking the jsp file to open because as earlier i said it was trying to open unknown file type document and i saved that file and opended with editplus and that was the jsp file in which file i am calling my action method I mean to say it was not taking the pdf file which i have created above it was taking the jsp file

Safari 6.0 will not display pdf's

When I upgraded to OS X mountain lion and did all of the updates that were required, I found that the new version of safari (6.0) would not display pdf documents in the browser..... here's how i resolved it.
Completely quit safari
Back up data
In Finder select GO > Go to Folder. or use key combo Shift-Command-G and enter the following: /Library/Internet Plug-ins then press return
(it's easier to view in list mode)
Delete the file called " AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin "
Restart Safari and delete the cache and try to view an online pdf.
I found it prudent to have the latest version of flash installed

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination 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, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “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. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
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.
