Generating PDF with XML and XSL

Hi, quick basic question...
I'm trying to generate pdf doc from xml with xsl.
I'm using following sample code from xml.apache.org
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Driver driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance()
.newTransformer(new StreamSource("foo.xsl"));
transformer.transform(xmlsource, new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
xmlSource is my regular xml that wants to be pdf.
is foo.xsl any regular xsl that I use to coonvert xml into html?
or is it some special xsl that is tailored for pdf.
Is this what is called xsl-fo?
Thanks
IL

Hi IL,
XSLT can translate XML to something else. It is most suited to transforming to another tree-like format (XML, HTML, etc.) but can be 'asked' to produce other kinds of output, flat text for example.
It is driven by an XSL file which is a series of patterns to match and output to produce.
This XSL file can be used to generate another XML document in which the nodes come from the Formatting Object namespace. These describe, in generic terms the format of an output document based upon the contents of the original XML.
The formatting object XML document can then be used as input to a formatting object XML processor which can generate PDF output from it.
You may want to check out:
www.w3c.org
for all the stuff on XML, XSL, XSLT, Formatting Objects, etc., and:
xml.apache.org
for imformation on Xalan, which is an XSL processor and FOP, which is a formatting object processor.
Hope that helps,
Peter.

Creating PDF with XML and APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT

I am trying to generate a PDF report with an existing BLOB stored in a table being applied to a report template. Here is my procedure.
declare
doc blob;
begin
select img into doc from table where id = :P1_SEL_ID;
APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
p_file_name => 'Document',
p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
p_report_data => doc,
p_report_layout => 'TEMPLATE1',
p_report_layout_type => 'rtf',
p_document_format => 'pdf'
end;
When I run the procedure adobe acrobat opens but gives me an error message saying "The file cannot be opened because it has no pages".
I am storing the blob through APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT and a report query with the document format 'XML' here.
declare
idoc blob;
begin
doc := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
p_application_id => 103,
p_report_query_name => 'SAVE_XML',
p_document_format => 'xml');
update table set
img = doc
where id = :P1_SEL_ID;
end;
I am pretty sure that the stored files have data in them as I tried downloading and opening them after stored. Any ideas as to why this is? Is it the way I am storing/calling the blob file?

Nope sorry. I have no idea really of what could be the problem. I cannot even find a valid example of how to use that process in that way. I posted here as a last resort. As sort of a patch I just read the xml file and inserted the data into a temp table then called a report query on the temp table.

How to generate HTML from XML and XSL?

Hi all,
I am new to XML.
Can I somehow see the HTML-Output of the XML-File, when I have the XSL-File too, but don't use any XML-Editor (XMLSpy) and FOP? I do not want use any additional tools - only the database tools.
What I need for this?
Do I need the XSLT-File too?
I am waiting for your answers, when possible with examples please.

Leonid Pavlov

Please post on the General XML forum.

Cannot view PDF created by passing xml and XSL-FO using UTL_HTTP

Hi,
Using UTL_HTTP Iam trying to contact a servlet which uses the input XML and XSL/FO to produce a PDF.However, when I run the procedure , I get the following error 'File does not begin with -%PDF' ? I checked the output on the console and the blob values does not start with %PDF . Below is the sample from my code , please let me know if Iam commiting a mistake somewhere. I confirmed that the servlet itself is working fine by confirming with test webpage that takes xml and stylesheet input and generates a PDF when 'submitted' to servlet on the click of a button.
INSERT INTO TESTPDF ( PDF_REPORT ) VALUES ( Empty_Blob() ) RETURNING PDF_REPORT INTO vBlobRef;
vReportURL :='/rufop/fop?xml='||xmldoc||'&xsltRPath=../../test/PAXSL.xsl';
req := UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST (url=>vReportURL, method=>'POST');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
loop
begin
Utl_Http.read_raw(resp, vData);
Dbms_Lob.writeAppend ( lob_loc => vBlobRef , amount => Utl_Raw.length(vData) , buffer => vData );
exception
when utl_http.end_of_body then
exit;
end;
end loop;
Utl_Http.end_response(resp);
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="test.pdf"');
htp.p('Content-Length: '|| dbms_lob.getlength(vBlobRef));
owa_util.http_header_close;

Hello guys! I have been assigned the same task,i.e to generate pdf through xml using xsl stylesheet.
I have a procedure which is creating the xml and the stylesheet. But I have no idea how to write the procedure which passes this xml to fo engine. I am very new to this. Can anyone please share your thoughts with me so as how to accomplish this? By reading blogs on internet I figured I would have to use UTIL_HTTP but don't know how.

JSF, tiles, xml and xsl

Good days people, I am employed at an app that wants to integrate JSF, tiles, xml and xsl.
Basically the app receives information of the user's interfaz, builds an url with the above mentioned information and invokes to a service web that a xml returns with the information. The idea is to generate the exit in format html or wml with an insole(staff) xsl and to send the result in this format to every jsp that is going to form a part of the page that it will generate tiles. at first I understand that it is feasible, i�d like to know if someone already has done it and since it has done it.
Just now what I have is a managed bean that receives the parameters of the altar frontal and invokes a method of a service, like this:
public String encuentra(){
//deja los atributos privados rellenos.
String mensaje ;
crearYRellenarBusquedaVO();
try {
setResultado(this.getServicio().obtenerResultadosWML(this.getBusquedaVO()));
mensaje="succesNoJS";
}catch(java.lang.IllegalArgumentException e){
mensaje="error";
}catch(es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException e1){
mensaje="error";
}catch(Exception e2){
mensaje="error";
return mensaje;
public String obtenerResultadosWML(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO){
if (busquedaVO == null){
throw new IllegalArgumentException(
"obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO) - 'busquedaVO' no puede ser nulo.");
try{
return this.manejarObtenerResultadosWML(busquedaVO);
}catch(es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException e1){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException(
"Error ejecutando el servicio String obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO). " + e1.getCause(),e1);
}catch(Exception e){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException(
"Error ejecutando el servicio String obtenerResultadosJSdesactivado(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO). " + e.getCause(),e);
//it returns html code!
protected String manejarObtenerResultadosWML(es.yell.frontlite.service.impl.BusquedaVO busquedaVO)
throws java.lang.Exception{
try{
// xmlOrigen has full xml response from server
String xmlOrigen = manejarObtenerResultadosJSActivado(busquedaVO);
Source xmlSource = new StreamSource(new StringBufferInputStream(xmlOrigen));
Source xsltSource = new StreamSource(SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceImpl.class.getResourceAsStream(Constantes.XSL_FILE));
StringWriter cadenaSalida = new StringWriter();
Result bufferResultado = new StreamResult(cadenaSalida);
TransformerFactory factoriaTrans = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformador = factoriaTrans.newTransformer(xsltSource);
transformador.transform(xmlSource, bufferResultado);
System.out.println(cadenaSalida.toString());
return cadenaSalida.toString();
}catch(Exception e2){
throw new es.yell.frontlite.exceptions.SrvBusquedaNoxtrumServiceException (e2.getMessage());

Has anybody integrated an XSL parser with Forte. I know Forte provides us
with an XML parser but that does not help with parsing XSL. There a lot of
parsers written in JAVA but that will not integrate well with Forte. We
need something that will be easy to integrate with Forte. This parser will
take our XML and XSL to give us a result set. If anybody can comment on the
subject or share some information I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Can't open libHaru-generated PDF with Reader, other readers work.

Our application uses libHaru to export PDF images. These PDFs can be opened using PDFlite on Windows, Preview on Mac and some other readers. However, I have tried several versions of Adobe Reader on both platforms and the files fail to open with the message: "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (14)." So, it seams that Adobe Reader believes that there is problem with this file. However, from my very limited understanding of PDF structure, I have no idea what might be wrong, so I don't know how to fix it. The file is written unencrypted. It is about as simple a PDF as we can generate - a red-filled rectangle. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help.

parsers written in JAVA but that will not integrate well with Forte. We
need something that will be easy to integrate with Forte. This parser will
take our XML and XSL to give us a result set. If anybody can comment on the
subject or share some information I would appreciate it.
thanks in advance.

Error in example on page http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb13gen.htm#i1028612
Example 16-7 XMLFOREST: Generating Elements with Attribute and Child Elements
Example appears as
SELECT XMLElement("Emp",
                  XMLAttributes(e.first_name ||' '|| e.last_name AS "name"),
                  XMLForest(e.hire_date, e.department AS "department"))
AS "RESULT"
FROM employees e WHERE e.department_id = 20;
1. employees table not qualified as hr.employees
2. e.department as "department" should be e.department_id as "department"
corrected would be
SELECT XMLElement("Emp",
                  XMLAttributes(e.first_name ||' '|| e.last_name AS "name"),
                  XMLForest(e.hire_date, e.department_id AS "department"))
AS "RESULT"
FROM hr.employees e WHERE e.department_id = 20;albert

It was subreport-related, though I still do not know the exact root cause.
I was having trouble with both the built-in export as well as a custom process.
Removing the subreports as suggested, I isolated the failure to one of the three subs and rebuilt this subreport from scratch (it was only three fields) and now the report has no trouble with the pdf export. I am not sure if it had a resolvable technical issue or if it was just corrupted, as it is now working, I am not going to expend much energy on finding out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Working with XML and Button

Hi,
How are all of you. Well I am new to Flex. But I have started
building simple applications. One of the top most problem I am
facing is working with XML and Button. Can you please assist me in
this. I am explaining my problem:
I have an external XML file like this:
<Menu>
<button>
<idnt>0</idnt>
<label>General Health</label>
<text>General Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
<button>
<idnt>1</idnt>
<label>Mental Health</label>
<text>Mental Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
</Menu>
Now I want to generate Buttons Dynamically from this XML. And
the second thing which is the most problematic is that how I code
it so that when I press the Button labled "General Health", it will
show the same text as in the XML tag coresponding to tag
"<label>General Health</label>" ?
I badly need this. I am realy confused on this. Kindly help
me.
Regards
..::DeX

Let's assume that variable "node" contains one element of the
XML. For example,
<button>
<idnt>0</idnt>
<label>General Health</label>
<text>General Health pages is currently under
construction</text>
</button>
such that node.label would be "General Health", node.idnt
would be 0, etc.
You can build a Button like this:
var b:Button = new Button();
b.label = node.label;
b.data = node; // more on this later
b.width = 60;
b.height = 26;
addChild(b); // critical - adds the button to the display
list so you can see it
b.addEventHandler( MouseEvent.CLICK, handleClick );
You must set the button's width and height unless the button
will be in a container that will size its own children (like Tile).
Every Flex component has a data property. You can set it to
whatever you like. For your needs it makes sense to set each
Button's data property to the node it relates to.
Now suppose that code above is in a function, createButton:
private function createButton( node:XML ) : void {
// code from above
Here's how to make all the buttons where "menu" is a variable
that contains your XML:
for(var k:int=0; k < menu.button; k++) { // menu.button is
an XMLList
createButton( menu.button[k] );
Now to handle the event:
private function handleEvent( event:MouseEvent ) : void
var b:Button = event.currentTarget as Button;
trace( b.data.text);
When a button is picked, the description element will print
in the debug console. Replace the trace with whatever code you
need.

What are the best options for creating a PDF with bookmarks and a hyperlinked TOC?

What I'm interested in is whether or not there is an alternate process I could follow that would side step Word 2011's inability to export to PDF with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs. How do you create PDF documents with bookmarks and hyperlinked TOCs in your documents?
Some background:
In Word 2010 and 2013 for Windows (and I'm sure this applies to older versions as well), you can export documents to a PDF file format where the exported file will carry over the bookmarks and hyperlinked table of contents. Specifically, by making specific text headers, will appear in the final PDF file as bookmarks on the side (see image taken from Adobe's website).
Regarding the table of contents, using Word's built in Table of Contents feature successfully ports the ability to navigate to a specific section by clicking on its chapter in the table of contents to the finished PDF file.
I've read several forum discussions that say it's not possible to do this from Word 2011, so my current solution is to just finish all documents on a Windows machine (either with parallels or a separate computer). The alternate process flow of creating a word document, exporting it to PDF, then rehyperlinking everything in Acrobat is just too time consuming to consider.

Hi, beejasaurus
I found a possible kluge from this discussion here
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1008480
Create the hyperlinks in Word, save the file
Open that file with Pages, export as PDF.
The links work from that PDF.
Note, I did not try this with TOC but it worked with hyperlinks embedded in the Word document

Pdf (with graphics and text) in the email body

When I place an pdf (with graphics and text) in the body of my email using Mac Mail my recipient sees them as attachments only. I am trying to find a way of presenting a formatted email with graphics that will appear the same way to all recipients, but a pdf frequently ends up being an attachment instead of staying in the body. The pdf file doesn’t seem to always show up in the body as created. Is there a better way to accomplish this?

You have no control over how your email maybe rendered by other email servers and client side software.
Attachment Tamer may give you a few more options but it does not guaranty the end result.

Guidance with XML and templates

I am currently saving metadata in separate xml files, each of which pertains to a particular image.
(They all resemble the sample XML file above, but with different data, and possibly empty values
in some fields). Currently, no fields are required (but may be in the future).
I am now trying to define a template for the xml files...However, I am a novice with XML and am
having trouble creating a template and its constraints.
I would like the template to:
- Impose an order on the metadata fields, so when I read it in, I can get the appropriate field
at the appropriate time.
- Validate that the type of data entered into those fields are correct.
- If no xml file exists for that image, I will be able to pull in the field names (in order)
into my program, and create a GUI with the field names and no data
- If an xml file does exists for that image, I will be able to pull in the field names (in order)
into my program, and create a GUI with the field names and the data in the xml file
I'm assuming that this template would have to be read in each time a user requests to see the
information associated with an image.
SAMPLE XML FILE
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Image>
<metadata>
<Miscellaneous>Here is more Jibberish to fill space</Miscellaneous>
<Photographer>Mayor McCheese</Photographer>
<Date>Sat, Sep 22, 1922</Date>
<Project>44an5</Project>
<Supervisor>Colonel Sanders</Supervisor>
<Location>The Moon</Location>
</metadata>
</Image>/*
I'm assuming the template would take on a form similar to below...
"order" would be the order that they would be placed into the GUI.
"type" would be the type of data allowed in that field (string, int, long, date, etc...)
in this case 'long' is Oracles definition of long and not Javas.
SAMPLE TEMPLATE
<Image>
<metadata>
<Project order=0 type=String></Project>
<Date order=1 type=Date></Date>
<Photographer order=2 type=String></Photographer>
<Supervisor order=3 type=String></Supervisor>
<Miscellaneous order=4 type=Long></Miscellaneous>
<Location order=5 type=String></Location>
</metadata>
</Image>Can anyone guide me in the right direction or offer some hints?
Thanks,
Dustpan

I lost my ability to view PDFs with update and Lion install. Says "plugin missing", please help?!?!
I am trying to finish up a paper for my masters and now I am stuck because the library website won't work without PDF

Adobe has a knowledgebase article on this.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Acrobat family
Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July 2011. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1.
Recommendation to Customers/Users:
For Acrobat customers who utilize functionality like forms, digital signatures, portfolios, guides, 3D, extended PDFs and rights management, and who require the Acrobat plug-in to render PDF documents in the Safari browser, Adobe recommends that you continue to use Safari 5.0.x and Mac OS X 10.6. We will provide updates as we continue to investigate this issue.
