Docs, PDFs, etc.?

Can I download docs, PDFs, text files, etc. onto my iPhone 3GS to view them and if so, how do I get them onto my iPhone?
Thanks
-Mike

The basic answer is you need an app that will open/view and/or edit those file types, and which has some kind of file transfer function (which, as mentioned, is usually over a wifi connection between the app on your iPhone and a web browser on your computer).
Along with the options alread mentioned, there is Quick Office and a number of others available in the app store.

If I have a repeating event in iCal, can I attach different docs, pdfs, etc., do the events. I am entering lessonplans and want each date to have an attachment.

Yes. As you edit each one, you will get a dialog asking whether you want to change all or just the current one.

Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
I insert to this table:
INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
and then:
CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
"FILE_DATASTORE
The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
Note:
FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
Attribute Attribute Value
path path1:path2:pathn
path
Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
PATH Attribute Limitations
The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(2,'c:\oracle11g\cranberry.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
2 /
COUNT(*)
608
SCOTT@orcl_11g> In the following, I used a non-existent path and non-existent file name, which produces the same results as when you use a remote path that does not exist locally.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(3,'c:\nosuchpath\nosuchfile.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.

Uploading DOC,PDF etc files and sending it to External user

Hi,
    I m facing problem in sending doc,pdf,excel files to an external user on his personal email id (gmail,yahoo,etc)as an attchmnent.
    While creating Claim ( T code:- CLM1) the user will attach a file and I want to send it to the external Email ID using 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' .
    Currently I m not been able to find out the location where the file is getting stored.
Please guide me on that
Thanks

Hello,
I saw your question and after reading Tamo's blog, here is the answer to your questions:
1. how you should initialize the outputstream.
you do not initialize the outputStream, the Weblogic container does that for you, the call response.getOutputStream() returns a ready to use stream.
2. what should I do with the outputstream after that, I mean how to show to user. do I need another conversion from outputstream to another datatype File forexample.
you simply flush the output to the client, and the client will render the blob depending on the mimeType. since the output stream writes to the response that is sent back to the client.
by the way, those two questions has more to do with J2EE than ADF.

How can I show files in table from BlobDomain(image,Doc,pdf etc) with icons

Hi,
i need to display collection of files in a table, the files have been saved as BlobDomain. Db contains different types of files (like jpg,pdf,doc etc), all files should come inside the table regardless of its types,if the file type is image then the file column will show thumb icon of the same. otherwise some other icon should come.

Vipin,
We need more information...
What version of JDeveloper/ADF?
How do you tell what the file type is - do you store it in another column or something?
What technologies are you using as the view layer (ADF Faces, Trinidad, Swing, etc)?
What exactly does "all files should come inside the table" mean - I assume you want to use a table (in whatever view technology you are using) to display the file names (I guess) and further if the file type is an image type, you want to display a thumbnail? If you are using JSF/JSP as your view technology - you can easily write a servlet to stream the image files and use an image component (again in whatever view technology you are using) to display the images (search the forum for an example).
But, in general, you need to spend a few minutes to phrase a proper question - much like the respondents on this forum will take a few minutes to provide a helpful answer (when enough information is given in the question).
Best,
john

Display documents (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) in web dynpro

Hi experts,
                I have a requirement to upload the document of any type (jpg,doc,tff,ppt,pps,xls,pdf etc) to a Z table (may be in a binary format) in a web dynpro application.
I think this can be achieved through Fileupload view element.
In another window, I need to display the document based on what is selected in the table row. Which control or method can display any type of document? As far as I know, the office control view element can only display documents of type (.doc and .xls).
Please provide pointers on this or any example will help me.
Thanks,

Dan from iCloud Tech Support says that documents such as .pdf, .doc, .xls, etc. will NOT be stored on iCloud! Huh???

Called Tech Support because of 2 problems:
1. Several of my documents have disappeared. This includes some .pdf, .doc, and .xls files.
2. Others are old copies of files that were updated, but all my changes were lost.
Was informed by Dan in Tech Support that "documents will not be stored on iCloud." He explained further that Word, Excel, PDF, etc. will not be stored on the Cloud--only music files, Pages, iPhoto, etc. will be.
Is this true? If so, this is stunningly bad. And if it is true that iCloud isn't going to store documents, then why did it touch (i.e. lose, revert) them in the first place?? So all document storage will be on local or external drives now?

Dan is not entirely correct.
If you install Goodreader this app WILL allow those documents to be stored on your icloud account within a specially created Goodreader container.
Apple do allow third parties to use the conduit between desktop and iOS apps,however only a few third parties have implemented this todate..
What icloud is NOT is unlimited remote storage,its more rather a syncing conduit.
If you are looking at an idisk replacement do try Dropbox for that.
Personally I employ BOTH methods in parallel at the moment as icloud remains very much a work in progress .
I will probably transfer more to using the icloud route when the next desktop version of Pages is released and hopefully incorporates built in icloud sync functionality.The current requirement to utilize a web browser on your desktop to upload/download is a clutch !
What does icloud do
1 Sync photo images across iOS devices and with iPhoto or Aperture 3 on your Mac or with your Pictures folder in Win7
2 Combines calendars between iOS and Mac Osx or Outlook on Win7
3 Combines Address book between ios and Mac OSx or Outlook on Win7
4. Sync iWork- Documents in the cloud (Pages Numbers and Keynote) across iOS devices and upload/download to Mac or PC via icloud.com in web browser.
5.Use find my iPhone/iPad/mac security functionality
6.Remote backup of iOS devices.
7. ITunes in the cloud (Stores all your music in icloud) plus subject to subscription iTunes match.
8.ios app sync across devices.
Plus new in 2012
Invite friends to view photos and or movies via email link.
What it do not do
Allow you to drag and drop any file type from Finder/Explorer to remote storage (a la idisk or Drop box)- This may change as the service develops.

Storing MS Word, MS Excel, PDF, etc in DB and retrieving through WebForms

Hi,
We have an application that requires storing MS Word, MS Excel,
PDF and HTML docs. We're planning on storing these documents in
a table as BLOB's with a column in the table that would indicate
the MIME type for the document. We need to be able to retrieve
these documents using the WebForms application we created. The
user would prefer to view a Word document in MS Word, an Excel
document in MS Excel, and so on. As of now there is no
requirement for searching within these documents, all we have to
do is retrieve them from the db and display them to the client.
Keep in mind this is a web based app, developed with Forms6i, we
would like to give the user the ability to press a button and
have the document displayed in the appropriate program.
I've searched for examples for this type of situation and have
been unsuccessful. But after reading about Oracle Text it
sounds like this could be what I'm looking for, minus the search
capability that is. Am I looking in the right place? Is it
possible to accomplish the requirements described above using
Oracle Text? If not where should I be looking.
Any help, info or even better sample code on this would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Butler

Jeff,
I'm not familiar with WebForms so I will only comment about
Oracle Text.
You can use Oracle Text to store, index, and search documents in
different types of formats (HTML, XML, MS Office, PDF, etc.).
Oracle Text also provides document services like a markup version
of a document, highlighting, themes, and other linguistic
features.
Take a look at the OTN page for some sample code

The download function is not working....!! When I click on something like download a doc,pdf or any such file, the firefox just doesn't respond, and when I checked the download, i.e. cntrl+j, I don't find anything in the downloads...

The download function is not working....!! I don't use any add-ons like idm or dap,etc.... When I click on something like download a doc,pdf or any such file, the firefox just doesn't respond, and when I checked the download, i.e. cntrl+j, I don't find anything in the downloads... I am currently using Firefox 7.0.1....... Nothing is being downloaded, and I am forced to use IE8 for everything... I even tried re-installing, but doesn't help... I am using Windows 7

TonyE is correct the plugin version comes with Adobe's Reader X.
The failure in communication is two parted:
1. Reader X is not Acrobat (Mozilla Plugin Checker)
2. Acrobat is not mentioned in the Reader X download Page (Adobe)
therefore confused clients.
For readers '''CAUTION''' check the minimum requirements for Reader X.
Here: [http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html Adobe's Reader X requirements link]
Do not waste the time to download (80+MB and Site is Slow) if your machine does not have the resources to execute it. ie. '''aging''' Hardware
Unfortunately the Adobe DLM only checks the requirements after it has
downloaded BEFORE the install occurs.
This is '''very expensive''' for both the sender and receiver
It might be why they called it READER X and READER 9 will not sense an update...

To Attach Documents of diff Types(.doc, .pdf) thru Bex Queries to Elements

Hello,
The user needs to save the Documents, other than text type(for eg. .doc, .pdf, .xls etc) thru Queries in Bex/Web for the Info-objects etc. in the Query, in the same way as he is able to do thru RSA1->Docuemnts.
For the moment the user can create/edit Text documents only thru the "Additional Function->Create new Document". How do we give the provision that user can store file of any type.

Will I be able to transfer files of DOC , PDF, excel and PPT from PC to I-pad Air?

I have recently purchased I-pad Air. I want to transfer DOC, PDF, EXCEL and PPT files for PC to I-Pad and vice-versa. Will I-tune 10 do the job abd please let me know the steps tp be followed.

I think that you need iTunes 11.
You can copy word, excel, powerpoint and/or PDF documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that support those document types - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice. Microsoft have also released apps, but unless you subscribe to Office 365 you will only get read-only e.g MS Word For iPad.
For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of word and excel documents).
As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, email, dropbox etc. For Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote : copying documents via iTunes.

Docs, PDFs, etc.?
