Hi,
Try this
create or replace
procedure getpdf (p_id number) as
      l_lob    blob;
     l_amt    number default 30;
     l_off   number default 1;
     l_raw   raw(4096);
begin
     select theBlob into l_lob
         from demo
          where id = p_id;
     owa_util.mime_header( 'application/pdf' );
            loop
               dbms_lob.read( l_lob, l_amt, l_off, l_raw );
               htp.prn( utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( l_raw ) );
               l_off := l_off+l_amt;
               l_amt := 4096;
            end loop;
         exception
            when no_data_found then
               NULL;
         end;Invoke this procedure through browser like this
http://localhost/pls/sagi/image_get.getpdf?p_id=1
here sagi -- Name of the configured DAD (change with your DAD's name)
image_get -- package name
getpdf -- procedure name.
p_id -- parameter
Hope this helps
