Displaying Graphs in PDF

Dear Adobe Community,
Can you please advice me how I can build a graph in PDF using the raw data I have. I am basically looking for displaying the bar chart graph in PDF.
Thanks!
Vivek.

Acrobat/Reader is not an "authoring" program.
You use the annotation object in Acrobat to create a dynamic graph.

Since this is an Annotation in Acrobat, it will not work in LiveCycle Designer.
But one might be able use the "Line" object.

Error from reports from ZAM(Graph or PDF) - File does not begin with '%PDF-'.

I just noticed today that any Graph or PDF report I try to view I get the
following error - Error from reports from ZAM - File does not begin with
'%PDF-'. I tried to just save the file and then open it, but get the same
error. I can open other pdf files I have downloaded from other sites ok.
Anyone have any idea? I haven't done anything to that server that I am
aware of in quite a while.
Thanks
Bill

I took a closer look at the files it downloaded, opened them with notepad,
haer is what it says:
XSL Transform or subsequent processing failedThe document has no pages.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT sometimes doesn't display the generated PDF file

Hi all,
I'm using the following code to generated my report from Forms: 
V_REPORT_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_NAME);
V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB:= RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(V_REPORT_ID,P_LIST);
 V_JOB_ID := substr(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB,length(:GLOBAL.REPORTS_SERVER)+2,length(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB));
 V_REPORT_STATUS := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB);
LOOP
 IF V_REPORT_STATUS = 'FINISHED' THEN
 V_TMP_PDF := :GLOBAL.APACHE_HTML_FOLDER ||'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID ||'.pdf' ;
 COPY_REPORT_OBJECT_OUTPUT(V_REPORT_SERVER_JOB, V_TMP_PDF );
 WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(:GLOBAL.AS_HOME_URL || 'rpt'|| V_JOB_ID ||'.pdf' ,'_BLANK');
 END IF;
END LOOP; 
Everything works fine except the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT part. In some clients, this command does what it required from it and opens a new browser window with the PDF report displayed on it. In some other clients, this command does nothing: now window dispalyed. When I refer to the Application Server, I see the PDF report successfully generated there. When I put the URL of the generated report manually in the browser address, I can see the report.
 
Why the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT doesn't display the generated PDF report in some clients?

I agree with the previous 2 posters.
Also firefox and ie handle it differently. Make sure you test on what your clients use.
Sometimes acrotray.exe is completely retarded and doesn't work.

Not able to Display Barcode in PDF

Hi Gurus
I created a BIP report where in I am displaying a barcode in place of PO number. I selected 3 0f 9 barcode. I have a sample output and trying to view the preview in PDF. It is not displaying barcode in PDF format. How ever it is displaying the barcode in rtf, explorer etc. Please help me in solving this. Am I missing any setup after installing Font and BI Publisher desktop..
Thanks
Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,
Are you able to see the bar-code in pdf output in rtf layout (not thru concurrent request submission)?
Please check the following steps and see if you have missed one of these set-ups in XML Publisher administrator:
XML Publisher Administrator-->Administration
Font File--->Give font file name and Browse the bar code (3 of 9 in your case)--->Apply
Font Mapping-->Mapping Name--->Mapping Code
Type--->FO to PDF--->Apply
Open Tab Create Font Maping
Font Family: Code39-Digits(This name should be exactly the font name which comes in word)
Style: Normal
Weight: Normal
Target Font Type: Truetype
Continue
Font : font file name
Apply
Go to Template Tab
Query for your template
Open Edit Configuration
Click on FO Processing
In Font Mapping set :associate your file
Please let me know if you are still unable to view the barcode.

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

Display logo In PDF output ( Spool to PDF output )

Hi Experts,
In my requirement i am using 'REUSE_ALV_GRID' to display logo.
In our functionality we are executing report in background and we are converting spool into PDF output. Now our requirement is to display LOGO in PDF output.
Any pointers on this are appreciated.
Regards,
Bhanu.R

Hello,
Use the top-of-page parameter of the FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' and use the FM REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE to add the logo to the I_LOGO export parameter to get the logo in the ALV output. Now convert this to spool and to pdf and you can get the logo in the pdf as well

Can any body suggest how to do using class / method.
thanks in advance.

Help with inline display of a PDF

Two problems I am having with the inline display of a PDF (not a link, not a separate window).
First - the PDF has hyperlinks in it. If you spawn a separate window, the hyperlinks are active (clicking on the hyperlink will take you somewhere). If I use the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC within an object window, the PDF will display fine except when you hover over a hyperlink, you get the "hand" icon, and you can't click on the item. Is there a way to display the PDF within the same HTML region as the rest of the page but get the PDF to translate the hyperlinks into active links?? I am not sure if I should open this as a bug with Oracle or not.
Second, I tried to duplicate the problem on apex.oracle.com.
Everything works except when I try to display the PDF, all I get is a grey box instead of the PDF. Having done this multiple times before, it is a simple solution but I can't remember what it is...
Any help I could get would be great.
Thank you
--rolf petersen
The workspace on APEX.ORACLE.COM is:
TESTTABFORMS
UserID: TEST_USER
PW: PDF_TEST
check out application:
TEST_PDF_LINK
ID: 42403
P.S. Just got back from APEXPosed 2013 - I loved the conference.

I'm not positive but it seems the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC doesn't work when it references a file browse item on a page where the key is on the rowid. I've copied the page to page 4 and changed it to use the bulletin_id. I've linked the bulletin id on the report to page 4

Best way to display a fillable pdf in the browser?

I am currently using the code below( .net using C#) to display my pdf which is in a memory stream to the browser:
                this.Response.Buffer = false;
                this.Response.Clear();
                this.Response.ClearContent();
                this.Response.ClearHeaders();
                this.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                this.Response.BinaryWrite(byteArray);
                this.Response.End();
What happens is I am prompted to open it, and then the pdf is displayed in the browser, however when the user makes changes to the information and then closes the browser, all the information is lost if the user did not save it.
If I add the following line of code in:
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + DocumentToView);
I am then prompted to open and it opens in adobe and if I make changes and close the application, it prompts me to save my changes. However, I still have a blank page being displayed that was processing the initial display of the pdf.
My questions are the following:
1. Is there a way to display in the browser and prompt the user to save changes when they close the browser?
2. Is there a way to get the pdf to display in adobe without displaying the blank page or is there a way to close that page after the document has been loaded?
Thanks
Joe

1. Is there a way to display in the browser and prompt the user to save changes when they close the browser?
That would depend on EVERY last browser having identical settings for handling PDFs... not likely, or even probable.
2. Is there a way to get the pdf to display in adobe without displaying the blank page or is there a way to close that page after the document has been loaded?
Without the user saving it... I don't think so.
From a web design standpoint, forcing content or settings on an end viewer is a shoddy practice. If someone WANTS to save the PDF, they will in most cases. Not being able to close the window and/or leave the page containing the PDF without saving it first will ensure more "one time" visitors to the page in question than you hope for. Too many people will misinterpret that as an attempt at loading malware. Correct or not, that will be their perception.

Using Windows 7, now Reader XI and now SOME pdf files won't display. Try: 'PDF of Reader XI Help'!!!

After installling Reader XI SOME pdf files will not display. Using Windows 7 and all worked fine until installation of XI. Esample: when I try to display YOUR file 'PDF of Reader XI Help' all I get is a blank screen with an X in the upper right corner. Works just fine with Windows XP and Reader 8.5.1. Any ideas ????? Thanks.

Is it possible to display a native pdf document in AIR?

I'm not that familiar with AIR but i was wondering if it's possible to display a native pdf document in AIR. If so are any add-on's required or does AIR have that capability built in. Essentially I would be trying to create a pdf viewer in 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!

You might want to go through http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/html/HTMLLoader.html
Create a file url for the pdf you would like to load & open it up in HTMLLoader component.

How to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app?

Hi,
I would like to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app? is there any controls provided by Microsoft to view these files with in the app?
Or
Any workaround to achieve the desired functionality?
Kindly provide your inputs if any one has.
Regards
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
As I know currently there is no in-build functionality to display the PPT, XLS or DOC file directly on the Windows Store App, but you can always open these files by
Launcher class
However a good news is we can display PDF on Windows Store App by
Windows.Data.Pdf class, see this for more information:
