Generate Dynamic Hyperlinks/Bookmarks in PDF Output.

Hi,
I'm trying to develop an RTF template which will generate the output with Bookmarks in PDF format. As per the Enterprise User Guide, <?copy-to-bookmark:?> or <?convert-to-bookmark:?> should be able to generate a static or dynamic bookmark, respectively. But, all my attempts in doing so go in vain.
Again, I have a summary page in front, and detail pages suffixed; hence, I am trying to create a link on the summary page field, to the respective detail page. But, I am not sure of the steps.
Example:
Page1:
Deptno. Dname Number of Employees
10 Production 15
20 Research 8
etc...
Page2 Onwards
Deptno. 10
Dname. Production
EMPNO ENAME SAL
7782
Kindly advise if anyone has any idea about this.
Thanks,
L. Mukunthan.

Unable to generate Dynamic PDF

Hi,
I created a xdp file from xml and xsl files and then used Form Server to generate dynamic pdf file. The xdp file has lot of javascript. The pdf file generated by form server does not change colors of labels of the fields, when incorrect values are entered into the fields (accomplished using javascript). But the xdp file used to generate this pdf when run within Adobe Form Designer shows changes of colors of labels. I observed few differences between the two approaches. One being dynamicRenderer tag. How can I accomplish the changes of colors in the pdf generated using form server?
Thanks a lot in advance

To force the generated PDF to be a dynamic PDF add the following option to the option string passed into the renderForm() method:
RenderAtClient=true

Does Adobe provide a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF on a website?

As the title says, I am wondering if Adobe provides a PHP library for dynamically generating a non-editable PDF for my company website. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated!

By non-editable I assume you simply mean "with password security set" and understand the serious limitations of this.
While Adobe doesn't offer PHP it offers several server options
- LiveCycle PDF Generator. Java API and watched folder. Convert file types to PDF. Security can be set, but perhaps only globally.
- Adobe PDF LIbrary. For experienced C/C++ programmers. Licensed by DataLogics.

How to create a dynamic hyperlink which point to a BLOB column

Hello,
I am fighting with the issue for about 2 days.
My purpose is to use Oracle Report Builder to build a report of our employee directory which contains employee's information and also employee's picture. The requirement is that our report is going to generate a html file to our web server. By creating a dynamic hyperlink to the Employee's name in the report output file (the html file generated to our web server), it should then display the corresponding employee's picture which is a BLOB column stored in our oracle database.
I only can create the hyperlink for the employee's name if the link is static, like 'http://www.google.com
But from the Oracle Reports 10g Release2 (10.1.2), about the exmaple 1: Dynamic hyperlink, I refered the link
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwcontxt%7Cprops%7Cpi_lay_hyperlink%7Ehtm/
The link gave he following example shows a value for the Hyperlink property that specifies a link to a destination identified dynamically:
'DEPT_DETAILS_' || LTRIM(TO_CHAR(:DEPTNO))
where :DEPTNO is a column value retrieved from the database at runtime.
I tried as the same way to want it dynamcially shows the column :EMP_PHTOT, which is one BLOB column, but it was failed.
Anyone knows how to implement this? Any inputs is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jing

Dynamic hyperlink does not seem to work

Hi,
It looks like this same issue came up before in <
Dynamic hyperlink in Word 2003 but it does not appear that anyone ever responded.
My customer has created a dynamic hyperlink using {VM_URL} but when the template saves if you mouse over the hyperlink, you see a reference to the current location example:
file:///E:\temp\%7bVM_URL%7d
The xml data template looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContractDetails>
<kid>238335</kid><usr>[email protected]</usr>
<LIST_HDR>
<HDR>
<USER_PWD>4</USER_PWD>
<USER_SSO>[email protected]</USER_SSO>
<VM_URL>http://ora-apps-phnx-1.vmware.com:8000/oa_servlets/oracle.apps.fnd.sso.AppsLogin?requestUrl=APPSHOMEPAGE&cancelUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fora-apps-phnx-1.vmware.com%3A8000%2Foa_servlets%2Foracle.apps.fnd.sso.AppsLogin</VM_URL>
The hyperlink in the pdf then becomes the original path to the document:
E:\tmp
I have found a couple of issues in WebIV, one was a position loop problem and another was an absolute xpath issue, but this does not seem to fit either. I played a little with the link and url setting, but no luck.
Tried in 5.6.3 and Word 2k2
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
Dale

I am facing the same problem,
Please can anyone give pointers to this?

File name field not generating dynamic file name for report printing

Hello Folks,
I have a report region on a page and have enabled report printing. I would like to have the file name generated dynamically. So, I add the substitution string, say "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME." (no quotes). The output file I get is literally named "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME..pdf" (no quotes).
I have seen several posts suggesting the file name field should accept this syntax but, I cannot get it to work.
We are running Application Express 3.2.0.00.27 and BI Publisher.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
-Markus B.

I was finally able to make it work using a page process and the APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT with a submit button.

Dynamic Images in PDF and Escaping Special Characters

I used the following to create my own PDFs with dymnamic images:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html (Dynamic Images in PDF - What 32k Limit? )
I have installed this application on Oracle's free workspace to test.
The issue I am having is that when there is a special character in the description, such as <>'"& then the the PDF will not open. I have tried using the dmbs_xmlgen.convert to convert the description but haven't had any luck.
I'm a complete novice with xml. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Glen

I have been able to find a solution, but it's not completely perfect. I have changed the "description" field as follows:
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
The characters greater than (>), less than (<), single qoute('), and double quote (") can now all be in the description and will not cause errors. For some reason, I couldn't get the & not to give an error no matter what I tried, so I just replaced the & with the word "and". This solution will work for my needs, but it would be nice to be able to get the & to display.
Does anyone know of a way to get the & to display correctly?
Thanks again,
Glen
The complete code I am using is below:
declare
l_print_layout clob;
l_xml_data clob;
begin
-- load print layout from database
for c1 in (
select layout from eba_pdfimg_layouts where id = :P1_LAYOUT
) loop
l_print_layout := wwv_flow_utilities.blob_to_clob(c1.layout );
end loop;
-- generate XML data
for c2 in (
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('
select
id,
file_name,
mime_type,
XMLCdata(replace(description,''&'',''and'')) description,
-- description,
blob2clobase64(image,''Y'') image
from eba_pdfimg_images
') xml_data from dual
) loop
l_xml_data := c2.xml_data;
end loop;
-- download print document
wwv_flow.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_util.download_print_document (
p_file_name => 'image_demo',
p_content_disposition => 'ATTACHMENT',

Dynamic Column in PDF

Hello All,
I have a requirement to generate dynamic column in the PDF.
I have got the same running using the below code
HEADER : <?split-column-header:XXX_TIME?><?split-column-width:@width?><?XXX_TIME_FROM?>
DATA : <?split-column-data:XXX_START?><?EMP_NO?>
The issue I am having is if i generate the output in pdf with small amount of data,it will work but I am not sure how much data can come at run time.
It can be sometime more than 50 or more columns also.In that case it truncates the data.
How can i do the same.
Pls help.
Thanks
Sk

Increase the page size and printable page size, and reduce the column lengths,
so that you can accomadate them in single row.
BIP will run in single row, but we have option of making it to next row too.
But even if you make it in single row, page size has to support the length of the single row you are making :)..
so you got to increase the page width to Max

Hyperlinks to PDF files only work in Preview

I cannot get any of my hyperlinks to PDF files to work in my
ouput WebHelp file. The links work fine in Preview, but not in the
actual output. And the files have been added to the baggage folder,
and can be seen in the Baggage folder. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Retso
Sorry for not replying earlier. I've been conducting a
RoboHelp HTML class all day.
Are you using RoboHelp HTML 6? If so, there is a new option
labeled "Mark of the web" that could be nailing you. When you
generate your WebHelp by double-clicking the layout, see if this
option is enabled. If so, disable it and your PDF links should
begin working. Note, however, that by DE-selecting this option, you
could start seeing the Yellow Information bar as Internet Explorer
ever so helpfully deems this as a security threat and blocks your
WebHelp until you click it and allow the content to be shown.
Cheers... Rick

Generating Dynamic IDs

Hello All,
I need to generate dynamic ids on the <h:commandLink.
However if i put something like
<h:dataTable id="items" value="#{FormBean.resultList}" var="listItem" >
<h:commandLink id="#{listItem.recordId}" action="some.page" actionListener="#{someFormBean.someMethod}">
</h:commandLink>
</h:dataTable>it throws
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: #{listItem.recordId}
at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.validateId(UIComponentBase.java:454)Basically, i need to generate a list of results and each row in the list should have a hyperlink which will open the row details. I was hoping to get the rowid in the actionListener method by using event.getComponent().getId().
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I tried doing that and couldn't get it to work. I looked at the requestMap and it shows something like the following
subview1:subview2:_id15:_idcl=subview1:subview2:_id15:items:0:_id18
So it does have the correct row number and items is the "id" of the datatable, however how do i get that row number using the "var" name as you suggested ?
Moreever the component which maintains the row number --> record id mapping may be different from the component which handles the event. So i may have to add some extra logic in the event handling component to retreive the recordid, based on the row number.
Another alternative which worked fine , was to include a param tag (containing the recordid) inside the command tag. So the event handling component can retrieve that param directly without relying on any other component. I am not sure if this is the recommended way.

Dynamic Images in PDF Report

Hi,
I want to create Badges from employee table (ID, NAME, JOB_TITLE, PHOTO). I downloaded and installed a demo application "USING DYNAMIC IMAGES IN PDF REPORT". It works fine with smale images < 20K. I'm getting the following error for images > 20K :
"ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long"
it seems like a buffer problem.
could you pls help to solve this problem
Thanks,
Ribhi

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!
Roel

Is it possible to generate oracle forms in pdf format

I have to generate a form in pdf format. Is it possible.
If yes, how to achieve this.
Thank you very much.
Navya.

One round about way to get a pdf screen shot is tick 'print to file' and use a printer which is set up with a postcript driver. This gives a postscript file which can be converted to pdf using 'ghostscript and gsview' (available free from gnu via various sites).

How to generate a report in pdf from a stored proc

Hi, i need guidance on how to generate a report in pdf from an oracle stored proc.
The environment is oracle 10gas + 10gdb.
On a specific event, a PL/SQL stored procedure is called to do some processing and at the end of the processing to generate report which has to be sent to the printer (and optionally previewed by the user).
Can anyone assist me with this?

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:
