How to call pdf files from oracle forms

I have a pdf file in the server , I need to call this and open when a button is pressed in the oracle forms.
Please let me know how to do this.
Thanks,
Previn

Frank,
I have oracle applications and I want to open a pdf file located in the server from a button in oracle applications.
Previn,
you don't mention the Forms release you are running.
If you are running Forms on the web, you can use
web.show_document() to load files from the Web if
they are accessible via HTTP.

Create a PDF file from swing component and print

Hi,
Suppose i have a JFrame where in i add a JScrollpane which has a JPanel with some painting on it, suppose i want to create a pdf file of the total JPanel, and not of what i see on screen like taking a screen shot, or print the total JPanel, and not only the screen that is displayed
how can i do it
I am attaching the code below, how can i create a pdf for MyPanel and print it
//start code
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestDisplaySize extends JFrame
     JScrollPane scrollPane ;
     public TestDisplaySize()
          super("layered pane");
          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
          MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
          scrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
          Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
          contentPane.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          setSize(new Dimension(800,600));
          this.setVisible(true);
          JViewport viewPort = scrollPane.getViewport();
     class MyPanel extends JPanel
          public MyPanel()
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(2000,600) );
     this.setBackground(Color.white);
     this.setOpaque(true);
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
setBackground(Color.white);
Rectangle r = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewRect();
g.setClip((Shape)r);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
int x = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
     x +=60;
     g.drawLine(x, 0, x, 600);
     g.drawString(String.valueOf(i), x, 50);
     public static void main(String args[])
     new TestDisplaySize();
//end code

create a class wich implements printable, redefine the print method of this class with the this you want to print
and at the end of the constructor...
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat myFormat = new PageFormat();
myFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
myFormat.setPaper(ps.getMyPaper());
printJob.setPrintable(this, myFormat);
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
try {
printJob.print();
} catch (Exception pe) {
System.out.println(pe);

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

If you use rwclient you could that easily, from a Form, it requires additional steps.

How to access a PDF file from Oracle DATABASE SERVER

Hi
I have some pdf files in "\home2\docs" directory in Oracle database server 10g. (OS is Linux) I want to access those pdf files from my client system through Oracle Forms. How is it possible?
Please Help!!!! It is very urgent !!!
Expecting fast response!!!!!
Bye

hi
Thank u for ur response.
Initially i tried to access pdf file from database server. I didn't get any solution for that. So I copied all my pdf files to Application server which is in Linux environment at "/home2/docs" directory.
I gave the following command for accessing the pdf files kept in Lnux Application Server from Oracle 10g forms in a button press trigger.
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/home2/docs/test.pdf');
It says "page cannot be found"
So I copied one of the pdf file named "test.pdf" to "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" in Linux Application Server . Then the following command
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/forms90/java/test.pdf');
has opened the the pdf file in browser.
192.168.1.53 is my Linux Application Server IP. and 7779 is the port.
Actually we have lacs of pdf files. So i cannot keep all the pdf files in "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" directory in Linux Application Server. And also all the pdf files not in the same directory , "/home2/docs" some of the pdf files r in the subdirectories of "/home2/docs/" like /home2/docs/sub1, /home2/docs/sub2, /home2/docs/sub3 etc.
Then how to configure my "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/server/forms90.conf" file for retrieving pdf files from "/home2/docs/" and its subdirectories. Is Anything other than this, required for solving my problems.
Now My PDF files r in LINUX APPLICATION SERVER not in database server.
Please help!! It is VERY URGENT!!!

How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi,
We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
Thanks for the help.
Viishnu Nekkanti

In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)
