Generation of pdf forms with Oracle Report
I would like to generate editable pdf with Oracle Reports. That means I need clickable check boxes in the output.
Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks in advance.

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.
MartinHi 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!

Parameter Form in Oracle Report!!
Dear Oracle Users' Group:
I have problem with "Parameter Form" in Oracle Report.
The Report that I created has the SQL:
"SELECT A.FIELD1, A.FIELD2
FROM MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A
WHERE
A.FIELD1 = :P_1";
When the report is run, it asks for the parameter
and generates the report based on the runtime
parameter. Works perfect on Oracle8i database's
Report front end.
The PROPERTY PALETTE for the FIELD (Field that
takes the runtime parameter) is:
====================
General Information
Name: PF_P_1
Comments:
Parameter Form Field
Source: P_1
Parameter
Datatype: Character
Width: 40
Initial Value:
Validation Trigger:
List of Values:
(For the list of values, I have put the SQL:
"SELECT DISTINCT A.FIELD1 from
MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A", Also I had
tried with list of fixed values like A, B, C)
Web Setting
Additional Attributes (HTML):
================
But the report does NOT work when called from the Web.
(This is only because of the problem with this Parameter
Form in my report. If I get rid of the parameter form by
changing the last line of my SQL to: "A.FIELD1 = 'Chicago'",
it works fine from the Web).
When accessed the report from the Web, the error I get
is:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with this error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-0788: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_1 is not among the selectable values.
I do not know what is the error with this simplest Parameter Form based Report!!
In the Property Palette (above) of the Field, there was a field named "Additional Attributes (HTML)"
under "Web Setting" heading.
Do I need to write something there!!
Please help!!
thanks.

Chinese Character in PDF format for Oracle Reports 11g
Hello Everyone,
Currently we have a Report that need to be display chinese character in PDF format.
We followed the steps specified in the "Oralce Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services"
documentation but things doesn't work. We also installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 and Asian Font Pack 9 on the server side
and even on the client/user/development side and followed the steps in the documentation, but no effect at all. Or we even
tried "Arial Unicode MS", same thing no effect.
For sure, we may miss something during PDF aliasing or PDF subsetting setup.
Anyone out there who has the same experience and able to resolve the issue that currently using the Oralce Fusion Middleware Reports 11g?
Doesn't matter if it does not related to chinese character, as long as it relates to this issue like japanese or arabic characters in PDF.
If its ok, kindly provide the steps how you do it.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards and Thank you very much!I am now facing exactly the same problem as user449955 (Eric's). Dear Eric, how about your situation? If you have resolved this problem, may I ask for your solution?
In my case, using either font aliasing or font subsetting doesn't work at all (displaying "garbage" characters instead of Chinese characters). The setting in my uifont.ali is as follows:
If using font aliasing:
[PDF]
.....ZHT16HKSCS = "MSungStd-Light-Acro"
If using font subsetting (the REPORTS_PATH already includes "C:\Windows\Fonts"):
[PDF:Subset]
"Courier New" = "mingliu.ttc,2"
For both cases, the report server's NLS_LANG already set to "TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.ZHT16HKSCS" (I am in fact located at Hong Kong). For font aliasing, the client side already has Asian Adobe Reader with Asian font pack installed.
By the way, I noticed that the WebLogic EM is configuring/updating the uifont.ali file at "<instance home>\config\FRComponent\frcommon\tools\common" directory, but the Oracle Reports 11g's documentation sometimes advise to refer to another uifont.ali file located at "<instance home>\config\FRComponent\frcommon\guicommon\tk\admin" directory. Which one of the uifont.ali files is the one used by the Oracle Reporting Service?
My report server's platform is Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit) and the Reports version is 11.1.1.3.
Anyone can help to advise?
Thank you very much.

Oracle forms and Oracle reports for Oracle 9i
Hello,
I'm searching for Oracle forms and Oracle reports that works with Oracle 9i.
Does someone know where I can find them?
Thanks in advance...When we talk about Oracle9i, we often mean the database version 9i.
Apparently you want to use Forms and Reports 9i, which included in the obsolete (and very unhappy) Application Server 9i. ... Or the also obsolete Application Server 10g Release 1 (aka App Server 9.0.4.
You are encouraged to look at Forms and Reports 10g (part of the improved Application Server 10g) which does connect to Oracle Database 9i as well as Oracle Database 10g. Look for App Server 10g Release 2, version 10.1.2.0.2 and 10.1.2.2) -

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?
I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to open a pdf form with fdf data
Hi all,
I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
Can anyone know any other way to do this?
Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
Thanks in advance
Annamalai@ Bernd. It still opens a text file

(I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it -
Populating a PDF form with database data
I would love to know how (if possible) to populate an Adobe PDF form with data pulled from an Access database.
Background
I have a registration form already created using Adobe LiveCycle which is used by people to fill in their details. With a built-in xml schema, the user saves the form and sends them to me. I extract the data into an xml document which I can then import in an Access database using VBA code.
The Need
When it comes time to re-register, much of the original data provided by the user has not changed. Rather than ask them to fill out the form all over again, I would like to send them their original data and they can update whichever fields they need to. With the xml schema built into the form, I would love to turn this form into a two-way avenue for both importing and exporting data. Is this possible?
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I have not provided enough information.
BrettYou can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?
