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.

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.

Incorrect font display in pdf document(web view)

Adobe helpers,
I am encountering a very peculiar problem with incorrect display of fonts in pdf documents when viewed in a web browser. Briefly, the problem typically affects the first page of a pdf document, the font being displayed as an unidentified mix of large and very small, skinny type. Other pages may or may not be affected, and if one back-clicks to the previous page the text often displays the correct font, so the problem is in some (but not all) cases non-persistent. The problem however is resolved completely if I uncheck the 'display pdf in browser' option under edit>preferences in adobe reader. Fonts I use include Arial, Cambria, Franklin Gothic Book, and Garamond; as straight-up pdfs, the documents look fine. FYI, I have Adobe reader X 10.0.1 (Win 7) and 9.0 (Win XP sp3) installed on two different machines. Firefox 3.6 and IE9 are equally at fault. FWIW, all the pdf documents begin life as MS Word or Publisher 2010 documents, which are converted to pdf within these applications before publishing to web. Since I can't control how people choose to view web pdfs, I'm concerned that display of the prone documents is impaired when viewed in a web browser.
Not sure if this is a reader, browser, or distiller problem but this seems a logical place to start looking for answers. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I've also had problems printing with Reader X.
When printing an attachment from an email in Outlook, if I don't open the attachment first, sometimes it doesn't print correctly as everything shows with the following number or letter. Example 12345 will print as "23456" and invoice will show as "jowpjdf". Even if I open the attachment, sometimes it will print the first page ok, but the next pages will "mppl mjlf uijt".
Never had this problem with previous versions.

Select RTF Data and display in PDF Document

Hi all,
I have a simple table:
CONTENT_ID - NUMBER
CONTENT - VARCHAR2(4000)
On top of this table I have a form that allows the user to enter / update data. The 'CONTENT' field is a Rich Text Editor (ApEx 4.0 - CKEditor 3). This allows the user to enter and format their text as they require.
I need to be able to select this data and display it in a PDF Document (via BI Publisher).
I therefore have a simple query
select content from content_table where content_id = 1;and a simple template that processes the resulting xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROWSET>
   <ROW>
      <CONTENT>& lt;h2& gt;
     This is a heading& lt;/h2& gt;
& lt;p& gt;
     This is the text& lt;/p& gt;
</CONTENT>
   </ROW>
</ROWSET>(There is not really a space between the & and 'lt' etc but I had to add this to get it to display correctly here).
Where I run this past my template I get a PDF with:
<h2>
This is a heading</h2>
<p>
This is the text</p>I get the same if I generate HTML.
but what I want to see is the text formatted as the user has entered in the RTF editor.
Can this be done?
Many thanks,
Martin

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)
Success

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...
Harmeet Singh.

Hi,
Im also facing the same problem of truncation.
can someone please reply back if there's a solution ?

Suddenly double-clicking on a PDF document opens the Acrobat application but the document does not load.

Up until today I had no problem opening a PDF document that I have already saved by double-clicking on it. Now when I do that, my Acrobat application opens, but the PDF document does not. I need to use File/ Open to select the document I want to see, or I need to right mouse click on the PDF document and choose “Open with”. I had this once before and I had help to resolve this, but I am using Acrobat 7 Professional and since it is not supported, I can’t get help when I call Support.

Sounds like a Windows problem. Try the right click and then select the ALWAYS open with feature. That is supposed to fix the link. If that does not work, open the file type menu under the TOOLS>Folder Options (XP view, may be other in VISTA). If you select advanced under PDF, you should get a link under the open>edit something like "c:\adobeapp\acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1". The comment you make sounds like the %1 or the quotes are missing. Bill

Is it possible to display a pdf document in flash?

I'm not that familiar with flex/flash but i was wondering if it's possible to display a native pdf document in flash. If so are any add-on's required or does flex/flash have that capability built in. Essentially I would be trying to create a pdf viewer in flex that allows users to markup documents and save them to the server for others to view. I'm just in the discovery phase of this project, so any guidance would be great.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the reply, that's an interesting project.

I just inserted a static text in the PDF Document (Font: ARIAL).
Adobe Document Designer shows this text on the preview tab but
the downloaded PDF Document is empty.
Only the graphical elements like circles are displayed but no text.
System-Details:
SAP ERP Central Component 5.0
Release 640 Non-Unicode
Adobe Designer Version 6.0
Do you have any ideas?
I just found the note 715599 but this refers to UNICODE Systems.
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for you answer.
But the document only describes the conversion of SAP Script into PDF file.
The OTF output of the SAP Script is converted to PDF by using the function module CONVERT_OTF.
Do I have any other possibilities to access and download the PDF Document without using SAP Script?
I already created the PDF Interface and PDF Form by using the "Form Builder" (Transaction SFP).
My program shall access and download this Form.
This works almost but all of the text information is obviously lost. All of the graphical information is displayed in the downloaded document.
Thank you for you help.

Displaying a pdf document

I have a .swf file with full animation and sound running. I
want to insert a link that will either display an embedded pdf file
OR display the pdf in a new window (using, e.g., getURL and a
stop() to turn off sound). I want to turn the sound
off during the display and then either return to the swf
front door or turn the sound back
on when the user finishes viewing the pdf.
What is the best way to do this, or can it be done at
all???

Adobe reader displays a *.pdf document perfectly ...

... it also send's it to the printer (page by page),
at the very end it 'pretends' the printer isn't connected (but it IS. i printed eMails and text-documents the minute before). see the error message in -> http://picasaweb.google.com/ggamauf/MeineAdobeSetup#5532446101589409618
i'd be glad if somebody had and solved the same problem.
i'll happily supply details if required.
