Displaying a pdf or word document (for help) via "link" from an iView

Hello Everyone,
We have iViews (which are simply reports) and have documentation explaining the overall report functionality. These iViews are displayed via a workset iMap. For each iView we would also like to have a "link" to a word, pdf, etc.. document. Basically any document type we decide on.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm sure there is.
Thanks

Hi,
You can achieve this by making use of KM. Follow these steps for achieving the same.
1. Create a folder in Portal Content Management and upload all the help documents into it.
2. In this folder, create seperate links to indivisual help documents uploaded by specifying the target and name.
3. Click on the created links and copy the URL's
4. Open the I Views/Pages in PCD, and place the corresponding URLs in URL to Help Topic property of the respective I Views/Pages.
5. Enable the I View Tray property - Show Help Option
For every view , you can have some help file in the context links (Help) in the right corner of the Title area.
Hope this satisfies your requirement.
Regards,
Santhosh

Displaying PDF and Word Document

Hi,
I have used the methods to display HTML :
1. Link to Action and the IFrame -> The Result was the html file I was able to display in the same window.
2. Link to URL -> The Result was html file opened in different window.
3.IFrame and attaching the file in project -> it was resulted in html file getting dispalyed in IFrame.
Now if I want to extend the functionality for PDF or word document, is the procedure same or different
Can anyone enlighten me on this
Any thoughts on this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi srikant,
You can also display word documents and pdf by uploading it in the server.
For this you'll have to create aliases in the server for the corressponding documents that you want to uploaad.
Go to visual admin ->services->httpprovider.
Then click the tab 'aliases'. Here you can give the name of your alias and also the document to which the alias should point(first upload the document to the server machine and then give the path here ) .
Now when you type http://server:port/aliasname your document will open in the browser. You can display it either through your iFrame or linktourl as you prefer.
Hope my effort will help you.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hot to display PDF and Word documents as an attachment in OBIEE Reports

Hi,
From few of Oracle threads I learnt that we can store the files in a server locaiton and read it thro a URL. What I am trying to do is, PDF or Word document will be stored in database as BLOB fields. This BLOB field needs to be come as an attachment in OBIEE Reports and by clicking that icon, it uses the local applicaiton PDF reader or a word applicaiton and open the attachment, just like how we open an attachment from a E-mail. Can you please help me with the possible methods of that. I can provide you more information incase if you need.
Thanks
Augesthi

As long as you used the paper-clip Attach icon, that should be fine.
The entire document appears to you because your Mac recognizes the document type, and displays it for you, saving you from having to mouse around and find a Reader for it. You can still use the Save icon to save a copy of only the attachment.
To avoid problems with other email readers, be sure the checkbox [√] send windows-friendly attachments is checked.
I addition, some email readers cannot cope with any attachments positioned at any place in the document other than at the very end. So make sure you move the cursor to the absolute end of the document before clicking "Attach".
If all else fails, send an email that says, "attachment to follow", then send the attachment right away in a separate email, with nothing else in the body of the message. Some use the Subject abbreviation (nt) to indicate "no text", that is, no words typed in the message portion.

PDF or MS Word Document for Query7.0 ?

Hello,
How Can I realize this...
PDF or MS Word Document for Query7.0 ?
THANKS

Hi skinny_Will,
The coded UI test would have some limitations for the Word/office controls by design.
To really read and compare the text value, I'm afraid that we would use certain extension tool/add-in and custom code for it.
Please check the Visual Studio Coded UI for Word Add-In.

Urgent Help Regarding PDF and Word Document Downloading

Many Thanks Shaik for you humble help. Actually now what I did in the past 3 days,
I used Oracle Intermedia to store my PDF and Word Documents in the database using Oracle SQL Loader. Then I used PL/SQL Server Pages and Oracle Web Toolkit for the downloading of my documents.
Now the problem is I saved all my formatted documents in the databse and for retrieval I am using following code in my stored procedure
* Select BLOB Data
select blob_data into myblob from mytable where blob_name = name;
Setup headers which describes the content
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.get_length(myblob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
Initiate Direct BLOB download
wpg_docload.download_file(myblob);
end;
The structure of the mytable table:
create table mytable
doc_id varchar2(128),
doc_name varchar2(128),
blob_data blob
But when it prompt the client to download the file actually it gives the junk file name like 'B104ea56' (which i understand is the address of the blob address). What I want is to show the "SAVE AS" download box with the proper document name which is stored in my field in the following way
1 SALES.PDF
2 PLANNING.PDF
3 MANUAL.DOC
4 STANDARD.TXT
If I set the MIME type for the file format than it automatically starts download the file to the client browser, that I do not want, It should ask the user to download with the proper document name.
Waiting consiously for your help
Regards

Presumedly you'd like those documents being accessiable by users as well, so they should be put on a web server, ftp or nfs sharing. You can just add the urls to those documents, or the directory they are in, into robot system as starting points and let robot run to collect them.

Hi Sara
From the document
        When I try the file save as other, nothing happens after I click on Word or Excel Online.
        There is no way I can click on the convert button on Export PDF.
        I am logged in as you can see.
        When I go to Cloud Acrobat I can see the file there but only as a PDF.
        There is no word document there.
        As you can see I have tried this more than once.
I just don’t know what to do from there.
Hope you can help
Many thanks
Kaye

Can i convert pdf to word doc for free?

With Adobe XI, it appears that i can convert a pdf to word doc for free, at least that is what the help page shows. However, when i try to convert the document i am led to a subscription page for this to function to be available. It's not expensive,but it is very misleading.

There is a 30-day trial for Acrobat, but not sure it can convert to WORD (though I think it can). The full product can. However, be aware that conversion from PDF to DOCX varys depending on the way the PDF was created. If properly created, the conversion may be almost exact, but more commonly there format issues and such to deal with. There are also different conversion selections that give options to retain text flow versus layout. If you are looking for perfection, then don't be surprised when you don't get it.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard Question - Converting PDF to word document

Question: I currently have Adobe Acrobat 8. I need to convert a PDF to word document. I know how to do that but the outcome of the word document sometimes varies as to retaining the exact formatting. How can I retain exact formatting? Is there something that I'm not doing that I need to be doing in order to retain the formatting. Also do newer versions (Adobe Acrobat 11 (Standard or Pro?)) do a better job of converting and retaining formatting?

Retaining the exact formatting is not possible in practice or in theory because Word documents are nothing like PDFs. For example, Word will cheerfully reflow text onto new lines or pages, while this will never happen with a PDF.
That said, Adobe keep trying to get closer to what people need. Sometimes this results in complex parts of the file being made into an uneditable graphic or text box.
Bottom line is you can get the basics into Word and then (according to your time, experience, and the abilities of Word) you might be able to reconstruct.
On no account convert official forms to Word.

Trouble trial cnversion of PDF to word document

I signed in for a free trial to convert pdf file to a word document for easy editing. Every time I try to convert the file. I am asked to sign in again and again. why?

Sounds like you are using one of the online services Adobe hosts. To "get in" and use the service a subscriber must sign in with the Adobe ID and password associated with the service.
As standard protocol for any online service (e.g., Flickr, Google's services, Drop box, Behance, your online email account, etc.)
Be well...

Darg a drop PDF a Word documents

Need help. How can i Drag a drop PDF and Word documents from webmail Accounts into a app to make Some notices there and send it per Mail. Now i have installed paperdesk. iOS 501 ipadII.

I'm not sure if this will work when reading mail ona website, but in the mail client you can open the PDF, click on the box with arrow coming out of it icon in upper right, and select any PDF readers and editors you have on the iPad to open it.

I used to be able to send document as a PDF or Word Document via email using the toolbar.

I used to be able to send Pages documents as a PDF or Word Document via email using the Pages toolbar (not the iWork feature). Lately, it hasn't been working at all. No email pops up; just nothing. Is anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? I'm running Pages '09 version 4.1.

This Apple Express Helper is a dumb one.
File names with # and $ are perfectly treated by the share to Mail feature.
What is rejected is the slash (/) and it's perfectly normal.
Since the delivery of the first version of OS X, slash is an illegal character in file names.
Apple thought that it would be fair to build a piece of code taking care of such chars because they were valid ones in the older operating systems.
But they expected that users will drop these chars. Alas they didn't and users like you are continuing to play with matches.
At last, OS X 10.7 removed the extraneous code and now, hosanna, iWork refuse to export files whose name contain the infamous slash.

Storing PDF and Word document in oracle database

any idea, how to store PDF and word document using oracle database.
thanks

The common approach is store as BLOB in database, use DBMS_LOB package to handle the loading and reading, sample script source asktom
Also check this thread in Asktom
SQL> create table demo
2 ( id        INT PRIMARY KEY,
3    theBlob   blob,
