Form base PDF served from apache\linux seems to flatten PDF

The same form pdf works fine when served from my old windows server.
I see the pdf when its serverd via linux\apache but the pdf is flattened and I can't fill out the form.
<code>
<cffile action="readbinary" file="#request.leadroot#/leadmanagement.pdf" variable="newpdf">
<cfpdfform source="newpdf" action="populate">
       <cfpdfsubform name="form1" >
            <cfpdfformparam name="action" value="New">
            <cfpdfformparam name="opendate" value="#dateformat(now(),'mm/dd/yyyy')#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="owner" value="#session.username#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="submittercontact" value="#session.userfullname# | #session.useremail# | #session.userphone#">
     </cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfform>
<cfcontent type="application/pdf"   variable="#newpdf#" reset="yes" >
</code>
Same thing happens if I browse direct to pdf as well.
Do you need to change Apache or add some headers?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Hamish,

How to store and retrieve a PDF form to SQL Server from LiveCycle?

My intention is to save a complete PDF form into a database and then later on retrieve this form from DB.
To do this, SQL Server has got two datatypes, image or Varbinary(max). I am able to store a PDF using "Execute SQL Statement"(I have written an Insert statement). Some value is being written into DB as well.
But when I try to retrieve this record using "Query Single Row"(I store the result to a doc variable), the retrieved PDF is of an unknown type and cannot be opened by Adobe Reader.
I am not sure if my approach is correct. Is it possible to store/retrieve a PDF form to/from a DB through LiveCycle?
If yes, please give me some guidance.

hi
am not sure
but u can use the same concept as storing image in db and retrieve..
create a blob column
parse that pdf and store into that column.
again u retrieve the content and via file io make the same name with pdf extension..

Patching only forms on app-server from 10.1.2.2 to 10.1.2.3 possible?

Hello!
We have an application-server 10gR2 with the full patchset 2 running on an aix-machine for some years now.
This has the forms-server 10.1.2.2 running.
Our forms applications run on the client with JRE (1.5, 1.6) and use webutil without problems.
To support IE8 and Windows7 for our forms-clients we need Forms-Version 10.1.2.3 as stated in the certification-matrix.
As installing the Full Patchset3 on the AIX application-server seems to bee a pain, I would like to know, if it is possible - an supported - to ONLY patch the forms-component on the application-server and leave all other components untouched?
For Patching the app-serv I've found:
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) Support Status and Alerts [ID 329361.1]
Note 415222.1 Steps to Maintain Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)
and Forms Servlet (frmsrv.jar) Not Updated After Patching to 10.1.2.3 [ID 1058514.1]
and there seems to bee an "Forms-Patch Bundle"
and Note 1188127.1 Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3 Bundle Patch Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
and ...
Any ideas or hints, if patching only forms is possible?
BTW: There was no real test-environment set up :-( . So I can only clone the prod-env. And with that I have to change the ip and hostname of the app-serv which is another story...
Thanks for any hints - charly

No, you have to apply the full patch.
As installing the Full Patchset3 on the AIX application-server seems to bee a painThis is not a good reason to avoid applying a patch. This is common in all infrastructures, not just Oracle.

How to connect to an oracle database server from a linux server?

Hi,
I am a total newbie to oracle. At my work, I only know that there is a server with an oracle 10g database set up.
I was provided with the hostname, oracle sid, port, username and password but i don't know how to connect to it, log on to it and do things on the database.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get started (like how to log on to the server and start doing some simple things. )
Any help is appreciated :)
Thank you

Goto your local Oracle install directory and then goto folder NETWORK/ADMIN
cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
do you see a tnsnames.ora file there? If you edit that file in your favorite editor, you would hopefully see some entries there already setup. See if one of those entries contain the hostname, sid, port that was given to you. if it does, that name is what you will use:
$ sqlplus username/password@name_of_tns_entry_you_found_aboveif not, then just duplicate an existing entry and change the relevant settings for your database, give it a new name and use it to connect.
alternatively you can also use the "Net Configuration Assistant" application.

Encoding issue with pages serving from Linux Apache to Firefox

Hi,
I had a problem last year where my help files displayed as a blank page with a question mark when they were served from a Linux Apache Server to Firefox. All other browsers displayed the content perfectly fine.
I discovered that the issue had something to do with encoding. From what I understood at the time: RH 8 outputs in UTF-8 but Apache prefers UTF-16 so it tries to modify the page. Net result: Firefox can't interpret the page. I apologise if my description is terrible I never fully got my head around the issue.
To cut a long story short: I was able to fix this by chaging the encoding information at the top of each page from <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
My client has produced a new version of their software this year and for some reason my Help doesn't work again, even with modified encoding information. I am assured that the Apache web server has not changed.
Does anybody have any suggestion?
Many thanks,
Alex

I think this is what I posted last year.
This is what I was
advised by the company hosting my site.
"I would therefore
conclude that the solution to this problem (on Linux systems running Apache) is
to add the AddDefaultCharset utf-8 directive to either the Apache config or the
site .htaccess file. The advantage of the latter is that it only affects individual
sites. The default Apache character set is taken from the locale file on Linux
and defaults to iso-8859-1. It is the conflict between the Apache header with
iso-8859-1 and the page character set of utf-8 that obviously causes Firefox a
problem."
In a forum post
Chrissy_Tissy added
My machine is
Windows, but this fix still worked -
some notes about making the fix visible:
1. Do the fix itself
(httpd.conf: AddDefaultCharset utf-8).
2. Restart the box
to apply the fix.
3. Once the box is
restarted, clear your cache in FireFox to make sure you don't continue to see
the cached file.
Once all this is
done you will see the output content as expected.
There is a tool to change the encoding but that does nothing more than you have already done. Maybe showing your client the above will persuade them to change things at their end.

Hello Mohd,
Here are the facts:
I honestly think you need to change that route statement as it basically says if you want to contact the NARAYASERVER send the packet via the INSIDE interface to the IP address 172.27.17.100
route inside NarayaServer 255.255.255.255 172.27.17.100
interface Ethernet0/1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 172.27.17.100 255.255.0.0
So basically send the packet to yourself (Does not make any sense.. Try to read it so you can understand what I mean.
The NAT 0 is breaking the translation.
access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit ip host NarayaServer any
nat (inside) 0 access-list inside_nat0_outbound
Do the following :
access-list inside_nat0_outbound permit ip host NarayaServer OTHER_site_VPN_subnet
no access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit ip host NarayaServer any
Then u should be able to connect,
Let me know if you will follow my instructions, otherwise I think I am not helping here

Hello Gaghan,
From the error it seems that port 80 is being already used. Did you install the second Apache under a different user?
Can you please try using another port?

Uninstalling Hyperion Planning from a Linux server??

Hi
I have installed Hyperion 11.1.1.3 on Ubuntu 11 Server. I am some issues in configuring the installed Hyperion setup.
I want to uninstall the hyperion now from the linux. We all know that installTool.sh is used from installing the setup..
Please let me know if there is any file for uninstalling the hyperion...or any process for it.

I didn't think planning was supported on unbuntu so if it is not supported then you will more than likely experience issues in some form.
If it can't be uinstalled using \<hyperion_home>\uninstall\uninstall.sh then you will have to manually remove it.

Is it possible to link to specific files on a server from within a pdf?

Hi all,
Is it possible to create hyperlinks to a specific file on a Windows server from within a pdf?
Let me explain further, I am working on a Mac trying to create hyperlinks from within InDesign to specific files on a Windows server. I am exporting the file to pdf, along with the hyperlinks, which look correct when I click on them from within Acrobat.
On Windows, the links will read as \\servername\directoryname\filename so this is exactly how I enter it as the hyperlink. When I view the hyperlink information in the resulting pdf from within Acrobat, it still looks correct as \\servername\directoryname\filename but when I try to click on it from the Windows side OR the Mac side, the link doesn't work and gets changed....the slashes revert to the opposite direction and the whole link gets messed up. I am trying to figure out if the cause is InDesign, Acrobat or whether this can even be done? Of corse, I never have issues with normal URLS.
What we are trying to do is set up an internal catalogue for the company of all our materials. (Everyone works on Windows)
Should I try to create the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat... do you think that will make any difference?
Thanks in advance for your help:)
Very much appreciated!
Christine

Thank you for your help...very much appreciated!
Basically, what we needed were for the links to be static and not relative, and they were mainly for Windows users. What finally worked was creating the links from within a Windows version of Acrobat. We plan to email the final pdf to several employees around the word (we are an international company) with all the links intact. Once they were logged into our network (vpn'd in) the links would still be valid no matter where the document was located. The trick is to change the start of the link to a specific IP address (the server address) when you are setting it up in Acrobat. I hope this makes sense and is helpful for everyone else out there:)
(P.S. This works for Windows users only though and cannot be done via the Mac version of Acrobat. I can set things up within the Mac version of Acrobat so that the links will work as long as the document resides in the same location on the server... the advantage to doing it THIS way is that it will work for BOTH Mac and Windows users.)
Thanks again,
Christine

Multiple print for pdf form retains the value from previous!

Hello All,
We have developed Adobe Print Forms for our business requirements.
When we try to print these forms from the direct transaction, it prints fine. But when we try to select multiple forms to be printed with one transaction, the pdf form generated has data from all the selection!
Eg: Form printed properly for Delivery Note through transaction VL02N.
The same form when we try to print for multiple deliveries from transaction VL71, i retains the data and prints one huge form having all delivery data!!
Please help us out in this issue and let us know what is tha we are missing in this process!
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Gaurav

Hi ,
i think that the problems comes form the data you give to the form, do you make a refresh of internal table before populated them ...

How to deploy Forms, Reports and Menu from Client to Server machine

Dear Experts,
I have one requirement to deploy the Forms, Reports and Menu from client machine to server machine.
Deployment involves the following steps :
1. Firstly we have to search the selected file in a folder where the .fmx is present ( in Server machine) and take the back up of the the existing file in the server (Source and destination paths will be available).
Ex. If the existing FMB name is TEST.fmx then the backup file should be TEST_sysdate.fmx.
2. Secondly we have to transfer the file from the client folder (or from another folder of the same server) to the server folder where the back up exists.
Please help me to search/rename/copy/replace the _.fmx/.rdf/.rep/.mmx_ files from client to server.
We are using
9i Database.
10g Forms and reports.
SQL Developer tool.
OS is Windows (Client and Server).
Help me out to attach a file of front end screen which we are planning to develop. It will give a clear picture on this requirement.
Thanks :)

Welcome to the forum. Please take a while to go through the FAQ to be found to the top right of the page.
Your issue is more to do with batch files rather than Forms. The only relation with Forms, as I see it, is that you will be using HOST/CLIENT_HOST to start a batch file with the file name to be deployed as a parameter passed to it.
You need to rewrite either a CMD batch file or a Powershell script to achieve what have set out to do.
For CMD batch files look up http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech.php , or any of the other excellent resources available on the internet.

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam
