Help: HMTL tags displays in PDF

I created a report and displaying it as PDF. The data coming from the database has HTML tags which is being displayed in the PDF output. I would like these tags to be interpreted instead of displaying.
When I display the report as HTML, it works ok (tags doesn't display).
How can I get these HTML tags interpreted instead of displaying.
Thanks.

At present, this is not supported in the PDF output.
However, This feature is targeted for the upcoming release.
Thanks,

b and /b xml tags displayed in pdf

hi Experts,
I am using 10.1.3.3.2
I am displaying the fillter view along with the report on the dashboard. When I generate the pdf (printer friendly -> PDF) for that, the dates between filter condition is showing the <b>and</b> tags around 'and' instead of displaying 'and' in bold.
I.e it is displayed as- Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010* <b>and</b>*31/07/2010*
while it should be-
Maturity Date is between *01/07/2010 and 31/07/2010*
In the html view it is correct. The problem is in pdf.
Has anyone got a solution for removing the <b>and</b> tags?

The problem is pdf format will display HTML tags. If you want to get rid of the tags, rewrite your "between" filter like this:
Maturity Date >= 01/07/2010
And
Maturity Date <= 31/07/2010
The "And" here will not display with the HTML tags when you save the report to pdf.

Help with inline display of a PDF

Two problems I am having with the inline display of a PDF (not a link, not a separate window).
First - the PDF has hyperlinks in it. If you spawn a separate window, the hyperlinks are active (clicking on the hyperlink will take you somewhere). If I use the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC within an object window, the PDF will display fine except when you hover over a hyperlink, you get the "hand" icon, and you can't click on the item. Is there a way to display the PDF within the same HTML region as the rest of the page but get the PDF to translate the hyperlinks into active links?? I am not sure if I should open this as a bug with Oracle or not.
Second, I tried to duplicate the problem on apex.oracle.com.
Everything works except when I try to display the PDF, all I get is a grey box instead of the PDF. Having done this multiple times before, it is a simple solution but I can't remember what it is...
Any help I could get would be great.
Thank you

The workspace on APEX.ORACLE.COM is:

P.S. Just got back from APEXPosed 2013 - I loved the conference.

I'm not positive but it seems the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC doesn't work when it references a file browse item on a page where the key is on the rowid. I've copied the page to page 4 and changed it to use the bulletin_id. I've linked the bulletin id on the report to page 4

Using IFRAME in JSF to display a PDF file

2 all,
How do i display a PDF file inside a JSF page in a IFRAME tag?
I store the PDF file location (like d:\images\pdf1.pdf) in my database. I cant give this location directly into the src attribute cos then the file will be rendered to only users who have access to that folder (the application is a internet application). IFRAME would be ideal as the display is very very neat (esp for pdf files).
To get this working i tried the examples given in balusc blogs (on image servlet) but the problem is that my servlet is not getting called. Find below the web.xml and imageDisplay.jsp pages that i tried
web.xml

I dont know why my servlet is not getting called. Can someone help me with this pls?
okay let me post the modified code for my image servlet here
public class ImageServlet extends HttpServlet {

Thanks Balusc!!
I have made use of your code to display PDF files in an IFRAME tag too!!! I just dint believe that this would be possible. Please just take a look at my JSP page.
<h:form id="CaseLookUp">
     <%
     String path = request.getContextPath()+"";
     out.print(path);
     %>
<iframe scrolling="auto" src="<%=path%>/imageServlet?file=D:\70-229 V5.pdf" width="80%" height="600" ></iframe>
     </h:form>

How to tag a Print PDF form ?

Hi,
I need some pointers on how to tag a print PDF form. For one of the requirements, we developed a Print PDF form. The form contains Sub-forms which are made to look like a table. The relevant parameter(i.e., pdf_tagged ) is already set before starting the Job. The special case here is that the table gets the text for the header from the application data and shrinks or grows(upto a max supported column count) according to application data. For the same reason we cannot have a table, header row and body row marked in the accessibility tab in the form development transaction. Also, it is required that a header has to be visible.
So currently in the form :
1)We have just a set of sub-forms made to look like a table.
2)We do not have any table,header or body row identified in the accesibility tab.
3)Table also grows and shrinks horizontally.
4)First row of the table is made to look like a Header row(bold text) and gets the data from the application data.
5)This PDF is then displayed in a popup.
6)The PDF form is currently not tagged (not accessible).
Any pointers on how to resolve the issue would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Abhay

Look in the Help section under Forms.

Error when displaying a pdf file in an iFrame

Hi,
I would like to display a pdf file in my Java Web Dynpro application. I am using an iFrame element.
The code I used is:
// test if the file exists
if( path != null)
     path = "D:\\Echanges\\Facture\\" + path + ".pdf";
if (isFile(path)) // test if the file exist
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setPath(path); // we set the path of the file for the iFrame url
else
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setPath("D:\\Echanges\\errorDocAccess.htm"); // here we set the path of an error file to display in the iFrame
In the context, path is declared as a String variable and mapped to an iFrame. What happen when I lauch the program is the followig error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=D:/Echanges/errorDocAccess.htm
I have checked the path of the error file and it is valid. How do I get to display my file ? The path is on the same server as the portal.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Unable to display a PDF image on the page - Mac 10.6

Hi,
Running an iMac with 10.6.8 and Indesign 5.0.4. Just wanting to export a PDF as per usual via File > Export function. However, I keep getting the error message, "Unable to display a PDF image on the page'. No idea what this is and have never seen this error before. The only info on the internet reveals error code 0x2511(9489).
I've deleted prefs, closed down and re-opened Indesign and even restarted the computer. I've also re-linked the images contained in the document and even created a new document and set it up the same, but still the same problem. Investigating further, other Indesign documents still export properly.
The only ones that don't export are 2 documents, both giving this same error message. Both documents are ones where a client has sent a PDF, I've imported into two of these into an 2-page A4 Indesign document (each PDF is 48MB each) and then just added a text layer (using Times) which is properly installed on the computer. I basically have to 'update' course dates for the client and add PDF to the website, all very basic.
I've tried importing a jpeg and other PDFs into the file (replacing the existing ones) and they export fine.
All my software is legal and I've exported this document before now in exactly the same File > Export without any problems (under 10.5 and 10.6).
OK... I've just imported the offending PDFs into Acrobat, optimized and shrunk the file size, re-imported back to Indesign and the PDF export works fine. So it seems InDesign / PDF Export doesn't like large imported PDFs? I think they were originally exported from Publisher, so maybe that's the problem or a file conflict somehow.
Any ideas on the culprit? I've googled it, searched these forums and Apple discussions and haven't found anything. Although I've found a workaround, I do get large files to import and then export. Thanks for any help
Steve

It does sound like a problem with the original PDF files the client sent you. You can check how they were made in Acrobat Pro from the Additional MetaData button on the Description tab of the document properties dialog. It will be under Advanced at the bottom of the list when the metadata opens.
You might be able to salvage them by running the optimzer and not changing the size, or just doing a Save As in Acrobat.

Edit error message as displayed when browsers fail to display dynamic pdfs

I'm sure many people here are aware of the problems that arise when many browsers attempt to open a dynamic writable pdf. The built in plugin that ships with most browsers is unable to display the content, and as a result the following message is shown.
"If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader."
(I trimmed a bit because the message is quite long)
My question is, is there some way to modify the message above by editing the pdf using a program like Adobe Livecycle or Acrobat Pro? The message that displays is basically useless, because the problem is actually due to the browser's inability to display the pdf. If it is possible to replace this message with something more meaningful, such as instructions on downloading the form with right click, that would be fantastic for the users.
Does anyone know where this information is stored? It doesn't seem to be browser specific (as the browsers I've tested seem to display the same message).

I got the error messages to work from properties file and some helper class, but not through just defining in faces-config or web.xml.
I am sure there is a better way to do but hopefully this will help you.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
In my validation method - I have the following code, which will associate
the appropriate message
String failureMsg = ErrorMessages.getString("SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME");
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,          failureMsg, failureMsg);
context.addMessage("login_form:username", message);
My properties file - errormessage.properties - have the following info
SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME =Please Enter User Name
SignUpData.NO_PASSWORD =Please Enter Password
Helper class - ErrorMessages.java
import java.util.MissingResourceException;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
public class ErrorMessages {
private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "com.path1.path2.resources.error_messages";
private static final ResourceBundle RESOURCE_BUNDLE = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_NAME);
private ErrorMessages() {
public static String getString(String key) {
try {
return RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getString(key);
} catch (MissingResourceException e) {               return '!' + key + '!';
I am also looking for a way to avoid all this extra helper classes if there is a better alternative.
thanks

How to display a pdf document in an ADF Task Flow?

I have a requirement where I need to display a pdf doc in RHS task flow, upon a linked clicked on LHS task flow. Passing the pdf doc name is what I know already. All I need to know is, how to display the pdf doc in a task flow.
Remember, I don't want to display this as a "POP-UP".

Using the transaction launcher to call a BOR method to display a PDF

Hello gurus,
I have created a PDF icon and an onclick action to open a pdf, that displays on every row of an assignment block in the actions column, but I do not know the technical process to determine how to get a PDF from the IXOS system from the line selected. (even if I know it depends on an ID attribute of that assignment block) I want to to call a transaction launcher with the url for the pdf in the IXOS that has an ID that identifies which line in the assignment block the user has clicked the pdf icon for (does that make sense?)
In CRM 4, in the collection factsheet assignment block, the link was coded into an XSLT which is then displayed in the GUI and you would have a clickable link for a pdf file in a row in a table. That link would be as follows:
         <xsl:variable name="ev_key">SAPEVENT:?OBJTYPE=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/OBJTYPE"/>&OBJKEY=<xsl:value-of select="@KEY"/>&LOGSYS=<xsl:value-of select="attributes/LOGSYS"/></xsl:variable>
             <a href="{$ev_key}"></a>
This will get the file in IXOS and display it, in CRM 4. In CRM 7, the link is an icon in every line of an assignment block.
Here are some questions I have now for the functional side in the meantime:
1) Can we fetch the PDF in IXOS for each line of an assignment block and have it open? If so, how? Transaction launcher, function modules (like ARCHIVOBJECT_DISPLAY) in the OPTA package? (the package for all IXOS related function modules..)
2) Which URL should I call with the transaction launcher? a URL link to the PDF on the IXOS system?? or sapevent:xxx?
3) Do we have to configure a transaction in the IMG to be launched with the attributes listed there? Do we have to link it to any classes/ objects?
4) Do we have to have the code to the logical link dynamically to call the right PDF for each table line? Is it right to put this code in my event handler?? Usually transaction launchers are just in the nav bar.....
5) Are there any existing examples of this or a similar functionality/ logic that I could refer to, preferably in CRM 7 WebUI?
6) Do you have any code to just display a PDF in a new window? Or prompt a download?
One possible way I thought of would be for me to have a logical link defined in the IMG for the transaction launcher, and have the attributes defined for my BOR object that I would call, and pass it different attributes (eg. objtype, objkey, logsys...) and then return the PDF and display it in the UI in a new browser window by itself. (There is a BOR method for my BOR object named 'display_pdf'!!!!)
What do you think would be the optimal solution here? Does my theory of calling a BOR object with a transaction launcher to display a PDF make ANY sense whatsoever???
Please do not hesitate to propose any potential solution. Any partial answers/ links to wikis/ other threads, anything would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Any help on this....I am still awaiting the response.
Requirement: My requirement is to launch the SE38 transaction on WEBUI using transaction luncher tool and set the parameter on the selection screen.
Issue: The issue is that I am able to lunch the transaction but unable to set the parameter
Steps Performed:
I want to list down all the steps I performed to launch an SE38 transaction using transaction launcher on the WEBUI
1) Defined logical system in tcode CRMS_IC_CROSS_SYS
-The logical link looks like this
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=IC_LTXE&okcode=ICEXECUTE ?sap-client=300
2) Defined URL & paratemeter wherein the request method is "GET", opted for NON-BSP URL
URL link here is
http://<server>:<port>/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/!?transaction=SE38&okcode=ONLI
-Note: My selection screen okcode os ONLI*
-The logical system ref is provided here
3) Defined the parameter by giving the screen name like for SE38 selection screen name is "RS38M-PROGRAMM"
4) Configured the transaction launcher of type B - URL type and provided the reference of the URL ID, choose the relevant parameter from the drop down and have hardcoded the value, cheked the box "Save Data in Activity Clipboard
5) Added this in the NAvlink/Bus Role etc
6) Now in the handler class of the TL the code looks like this:
IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW
__gdc ?=
cl_crm_ui_data_context_srv=>get_instance( gv_view_controller ).
__value
=
'ZC_TEST'.
add_parameter(
   iv_name =
'RS38M-PROGRAMM'
iv_value = __value ).
However, after performing the above steps I am unable to set the parameter. Please suggest where am I missing out on. An early response would really be appreciated.

Display a PDF file from local drive

Hi,
I would like to display a pdf file that is actually stored on the portal server hard drive.
What I have tried to do is link an iFrame element to the url of the file: "D:
MyFolder
myFile.pdf"
But it doesn't work. I have the following error when trying to do that:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=D:/MyFolder/myFile.pdf
Does this means that iFrame can only display http URLs ? What are the other ways to easily display pdf files ?? I'am stuck with that problem and can't find any other solution.
I also tried with "servletResponse.getOutputStream().write(fileByteContent);" but the problem is that I am not in a PAR application, and I don't have the servletResponse element and don't know how to get it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

File fFile = new File(sFile);
     if ( fFile == null )

Display in PDF Browser - Item failed to convert in Outlook

Display in PDF Browser - Item failed to convert in Outlook
ben soules - 09:26pm Aug 22, 2007 Pacific
Hi Experts,
This is a bit of a pain I have to distrubte
Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1 to about 3000+ users and I am having a problem,
In Prefs in "Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.1"
When I tick then untick, "display in PDF Browser" from the Preferences, My Outlook will fail to convert to PDF. I get an "Item failed to convert" message and a log file. Also Word 2003 will not post a .PDF to an email.
If I restart "Outlook 2003" it will create a "pdf" when I click the icon the first time, the second time I click it will fail.
Please help.
===================================================
Requested: 1,
Converted to PDF: 0,
Skipped [Already in PDF]: 0,
Skipped [PDFMaker failed to convert]: 1
Details of Email to PDF conversion:
Failed to Convert:
From: WS XXXX XX XXXXXXX, Subject: FW: testing, Date: 8/08/2007, Status: Item failed to convert

We also deployed 8.12 to over 1000 users with the "Disable PDF in browser" option checked using the customization wizard. Now we're finding some users need it to view certain PDFs in a web-based application.
We would like to add the option, but removing the registry key doesn't actually install the option when you check it. It seems you might have to create a new mst then redeploy. We'd really like to not have to do that, if at all possible.
In the Reader archives, one guy suggested running this:
msiexec /i Adobe_Reader_8.1_MUI.msi ADDLOCAL=ReaderBrowserIntegration
I haven't tried that yet. Any feedback or other suggestions?

Displaying a PDF Returned from a Custom Service

I have been given a PDF Fillable Form(XFA). I have added a button so that when the user clicks the button it passes the form data as xml to a URL (my custom web service). The custom web service takes the data, renders a totally separate PDF and returns it in the response.
It all works fine, but the returned PDF opens in a separate window. I would love to find a way to get the current window to "refresh" and show the newly composed PDF.
Is there a way to do this? I am using LiveCycle Designer, but my web service is a completely custom Java servlet.
With Respect,
mattie

Firefox is downloading the pdf and opening it in Preview. Safari is displaying the pdf directly in the browser. As such, if Autosize was previously selected (which may be the default for Safari) it zooms in the pdf relative to the size of the new window (and the size of the new window is set by the size of the parent window). You can reset the view size of the pdf in Safari by secondary-clicking on the pdf (a two-finger tap if you have that option enabled on your MBP, or a ctrl-click) and selecting Actual Size. Once you select Actual Size (versus Autosize) that setting seems to be retained for subsequent pdfs. You can also select Open in Preview from the contextual menu, which will open it in Preview like Firefox does (but without downloading the file).
Hope this helps...

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments sent in an email displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

This happens to me all the time.
If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.
