Displaying a PDF from a folio on Android

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to link to a PDF (whether online or within the HTMLResources.zip) and display it on an Android tablet? (Galaxy 10).
I have this working fine on the iPad Adobe Content viewer app.
On the Android version if I link to an online .pdf I just get a message saying 'starting download'.
If I have the link connecting to HTMLResources/nameoffile.pdf nothing happens.
I am currently running the latest versions of the Adobe Content Viewer apps on both platforms.
Thanks,
Mark

I think the problem is related to the web services of the tablet device.
We had some problems with links to web content and PDFs that worked perfectly on the iPad but produces an error on Android devices.
As testing those URLs in the iPad version of the Chrome browser produced the same errors, we concluded that these problems were due to the incomparability of the Chrome web services of the Android devices with the web content of these sites and its capability to display PDFs, which is handled much better by the iPad's Safari.

Display a PDF from a BLOB Column on a page.

Hi Folks.
I have PDFs stored in BLOB columns in the database.
Is there a way to display these to the APEX user on the page at runtime?
Any pointers appreciated.
Meantime I'm going to experiment.
Cheers
Dogfighter.

I suppose this depends really on what you want.
You have at least two choices.
1) Allow the user to download the pdf and then they get the option to save it or open it in a new window
2) You can also get them to open it. You can open it in a new window by adding "_blank"
in the target.
The sample application has procedures download_my_file and custom_image_display which will show you how to achieve this.
The only other way you could possibly do it is open it as a plugin. Thats way beyond my knowledge, but I'm sure someone else will chip in.

I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.

Cannot Display PDF from Documentum in SAP

Hello Everyone,
We have linked SAP with Documentum to be able to retrieve documents stored in the content server. We made all the setting required in OAC0, OAC2, OAC3. But when we are posting a document against a Purchase Order from documentum and trying to view that PDF from "ME23" it is giving us an error message as shown below:-
"The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/gopal.yarlagad...
But if we go into the "OAOR" I can see the document against the Purchase order. We are not able to figure out the issue regarding this. I would greatly appreciate your help if you can help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Gopal.

We also had the same issue. It was working prior, and suddenly we can't view .msg file (in CMOD archived storage) in portal as it no longer recognize mime type for this. This must be a new patch from outlook last week. We ended up implementing config change suggested in note 1840170, and add this mime entry in local registry. As per IBM note http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21610741, it looks like there's no other choice but to do it.
We plan to push this entry to all users' computers soon.

Display a PDF returned as a base64 encoded clob from web service

I'm trying to display a PDF document returned from a SOAP v1.1 web service. I'm able to return the XML into a collection using a process of type 'web service', but am struggling to display the document.
This is the code I'm using to (attempt to) display the document, which doesn't return anything. If I exclude the clobbase642blob conversion an Adobe Reader pop-up appears, but I get an error message stating it is not a supported file type or the file has been damaged, which I would expect since it's a clob rather than a blob.

PDF not displaying in Portal from UWL : cl_fitv_navigation= navigate_to_object

Hi Experts,
We are using a custom webdynpro application for the approval of expense claim.If I am clicking the link from UWL, a new window is opened and it is showing a blank page and PDF is not displaying in the browser.
I have checked from application level (SE80) and it is working fine,PDF is getting displayed in browser.We have done the UWL re-registration as well.
We have used the class 'cl_fitv_navigation' and method 'navigate_to_object' to display the PDF.
Also I have debugged the same method and could found that the codes are different for calling the application from portal and for using SE80.
Kindly let me know what could be the issues or if I missed any parameters.Also please let me know if I need to check any related R/3 configs and parameters maintained in R/3.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun Narayanan.

Hi Pramod,
We are not using iFrame to display the PDF.
We are using the class and method

Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail

I have an Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail, yet, it will display them on my Macbook Air. I confirmed this with another iPad user. Same results. Any ideas.

I had the same issue. iAnnotate PDF will display your annotations made in preview and allow you to annotate on the iPad. It is a great app, I and quite happy with it.

Displaying a PDF Returned from a Custom Service

I have been given a PDF Fillable Form(XFA). I have added a button so that when the user clicks the button it passes the form data as xml to a URL (my custom web service). The custom web service takes the data, renders a totally separate PDF and returns it in the response.
It all works fine, but the returned PDF opens in a separate window. I would love to find a way to get the current window to "refresh" and show the newly composed PDF.
Is there a way to do this? I am using LiveCycle Designer, but my web service is a completely custom Java servlet.
With Respect,
mattie

Firefox is downloading the pdf and opening it in Preview. Safari is displaying the pdf directly in the browser. As such, if Autosize was previously selected (which may be the default for Safari) it zooms in the pdf relative to the size of the new window (and the size of the new window is set by the size of the parent window). You can reset the view size of the pdf in Safari by secondary-clicking on the pdf (a two-finger tap if you have that option enabled on your MBP, or a ctrl-click) and selecting Actual Size. Once you select Actual Size (versus Autosize) that setting seems to be retained for subsequent pdfs. You can also select Open in Preview from the contextual menu, which will open it in Preview like Firefox does (but without downloading the file).
Hope this helps...

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container

PDF from HTMLLoader is Not Displaying in a Container
Was there a new version of AIR released recently that breaks the display of a PDF through the HTMLLoader?
I've been experiencing problems displaying a PDF in a container lately.
AIR applications that worked a couple weeks ago, are not working now even though no changes have been made to the source.
To focus on the problem, I created an application that narrows my focus to the broken feature. It's sole purpose is to display a simple PDF through AIR.
The example can be found here.
http://www.appfoundation.com/blogs/giametta/2009/04/14/render-pdf-in-adobe-air-with-pdf-sc aling/
The code used is exactly the same as the one found in the above example, except I swapped the url of the PDF to the following.
http://www.sfbike.org/download/map.pdf
It's pretty straightforward.
But, when I compile and press the "do it" button, nothing displays in the VBOX.
Using an HTTP Sniffer the "GET" to my url seems to be working fine and, I get a "200 OK" return status, but nothing is displayed in the container.
Here is my configuration.
- Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
- AIR 1.5
- Flex 3.0.2
- Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
- Firefox 3.5.4
Attached is the source code mxml as a txt.

Well, like I said, I don't either. Even when loading a very simple PDF, I just see this crash:

Maybe someone on the AIR team will have a more knowledgable response, it looks like a problem with how Webkit is loading up the PDF viewer perhaps.

Hi ,
The solution for the thread is
<mx:HTML id="pdfHtml" location="test.html" width="100%" height="100%" />
var pdfFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(pdfHtml.location);
    pdfFile = new File(pdfFile.nativePath);
    var fileURL:String = pdfFile.url;
    pdfHtml.location = fileURL;

Display archive doc as pdf from web dynpro?

Hi All,
We have a situation where we want to display archived pdf's from a web dynpro. I have put an interactive form ui element on my view and bound this to an attribute of type xstring on the context.
When I run it, i get an error message saying that file does not begin with '%PDF-'. I've tried putting this on the front of the string but i didn't work either.
So can anyone tell me the process for displaying archived pdf's from a web dynpro.
Many thanks in advance,

       others                         = 4.
    if lt_archivobject[] is not initial.
      describe table lt_archivobject lines lv_rowcount.
      lv_rowcount = lv_rowcount * 1024.

      tables
        binary_tab   = lt_binarchivobject
      exceptions
        failed       = 1.
    endif.
Where yo bind lv_xstring to the the pdfSource via the context

Android can't download/view pdf from vibe 3.2

I think this a a headers issue in vibe?
But on Android (2.1, 2.2, .23, 4.0) phone and tablets we can not select a pdf from a vibe folder and download it or view it.
We can from an iphone/tablet
We have tried chrome, dolphin HD as well as the standard Android browser.
A sample Word 2k7 doc can either be "view'ed by selecting view or downloaded by selecting the file from Android.
Can anyone else confirm please
Thanks

Just tried it here against Vibe 3.2. Indeed the problem seems to lie with the simple interface Vibe offers to mobile devices. Have not tried what happens on an iPad but would suspect the same behavior - curious it seems to work there as you report?
The Android app also has this issue as it uses the simple interface.
Two workarounds:
-download and open the PDF by clicking on the attachment links found further down on the page where you are trying to open the pdf
-use desktop mode on the browsers (selectable at least in Opera and Dolphin)
I'll drop this in as bug if there is not already one opened against it.
Cheers,
Willem

It used to be that when I created a pdf from a word or publisher document, hyperlinks worked fine. Now I cannot get them to work unless the text displayed for the link is the complete address and it all appears on one line. Why?

You can print to the Adobe PDF printer, but that only creates links that Acrobat or Reader recognize as such. That is the reason for needing the entire URL on one line. It is not actually an embedded link, but one created by Acrobat on the fly. With OFFICE 2013 you have two choices: 1. create the PDF with the print to Adobe PDF and then add the links in Acrobat so that they are complete or 2. I think the WORD save as PDF or XPS will create the PDF with links, but not sure. If so, that would be the quickest solution for you, but be aware of potential problems with the MS plugin.
Of course, the third option is to upgrade to XI which can be done with AA 9. You will probably not be eligible for a for an upgrade to whatever the next version will be.
