How to achieve that: store pdf drawings in database, and show in apex app?

Hi,
We have some many machanical drawings in pdf format, they are 1,000 + , I want to manage those drawings, like put them in a database table, possibly in blob format, and then show them in my apex app as an icon of pdf. then if somebody clicks that icon, the drawings will show in another windows, like many websites did.
How to achieve that in an apex app?
any idea?
I always find that hard to do.

Search this forum for uploading documents to database, there are many threads.
You could also check out the 2 day training that ships woth Apex.

  • Store PDF files in database.

    hi all
    how to store PDF files in database and how to retreive plz guide me thanks in davance.
    sarah

    Sarah,
    so your pdf-document is stored in the database.
    we jump over step 4 what would be the code for sending the pdf-file to the database ...
    Step 5 open the stored pdf-file:
    Please create a when-mouse-doubleclick trigger on your filename-item:
    declare
    l_temp_file constant varchar2(255) := client_win_api_environment.get_environment_string ( 'Temp' ) || '\temp.pdf';
    begin
    if
    :pdf.filename is not null
    then
      if
        webutil_file_transfer.db_to_client ( l_temp_file, 'PDF', 'PDF', ' id_pdf = ''' || :pdf.id_pdf || '''' )
      then
        client_host ( 'cmd /C start ' || l_temp_file );
      else
        Message ( 'Failure while downloading ' || :pdf.filename || ' from the database. ' || dbms_error_text );
        Message ( ' ' );
        clear_message;
      end if;
    else
      Message ( 'No PDF-file selected.'  );
      Message ( ' ' );
      clear_message;
    end if;
    end;Save your form, compile and run it.
    Execute a query on the pdf-block and doubleclick your filename item.
    Now you can read your forms reference pdf direct from the database :).
    Regards

  • How to check that a pdf is in ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7) standard?

    Hi
    How one can know that a pdf file is in  ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7) standard format?
    Breif Introdution abt ISO 32000-1:2008(PDF 1.7)
    ISO is named as "International Organization Standardization" who look after the standardization of diffrent format gobally. Now that had mention ISO 32000-1:2008 standard for PDF. So how we ensure that a pdf is of this standard.
    Do acrobat had any option to look the ISO standard of a pdf file or else way to view it.
    Thanks
    Andy

    ISO 32000-1 is nothing to do with PDF/A - it is the core standard for the PDF/1.7 document format. PDF/A is covered by ISO 19005-1.
    Preflight can run a number of checks but there is no easy way to verify compliance with PDF/1.7 as a whole. You can try the "Report PDF Syntax Issues" profile in Preflight but that does not guarantee to detect non-compliance, only the most common things which will break the document.
    Creating your PDF files using a standards-compliant application such as Adobe Acrobat is by far the best option - I  never recommend refrying a PDF unless there is a specific necessity to do so and the file is only destined for hardcopy print, as it will break pretty much everything (accessibility tags, scripts, forms, links, media, layers, color spaces, certificates, etc.).
    Because it's not easy to verify, and Acrobat always produces standards-compliant files, many commercial printers and publishers insist on "Adobe PDFs" rather than generic ones, and will reject files that have been created with third-party software.

  • How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
    Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its  iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

  • How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    How can you pull in pdf's from iBooks and bring them into the Box app?

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

    This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
    Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
    For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
    Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

  • I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

    I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
    I watch the youtube videos online.
    How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

    ''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
    To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
    the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
    For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
    The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
    * checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
    * extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
    *: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
    * or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
    *:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
    * Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
    *:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-youtube-videos/

    If you have American Express, your 4-digit security code is on the front. If you have VISA or MasterCard, your 3-digit security code is outside the signature block on the back of your credit card. It happens to me also.

  • Document stores in both SAP database and Content Server

    Hi,
    We don't want to store doc. in SAP database and chose to use content server. We have KPro checked in configuration also.
    Our basis team has created a content repository ZP that points to the content server, in the document area.. they enter "ARCHLINK" instead of DMS. So they told me to create doc. and pick this new ZP to store the doc. But we I created a doc. in CV01N, went to check in the original, the new repository ZP is not on the list of choice to pick from. So I cannot store the doc. in that new content repository.
    Our basis team told me that if we use DMS in the document area, the doc. stores in both SAP database and Content Server. We don't want to have doc. stores in SAP database that's why we have content server.
    How can I create DMS and store in content server only (not SAP database) ?
    Thank you,
    Sam Schwartzberg

    Hi Samantha,
    While check-in activity are you able to choose the new content repository i.e. ZP?
    If not then use t-code OAC0 and while creating the repository check whether the certificate is activated by basis or not .
    If not then you need to activate the certificate for the new repositoty in CSADMIN then only it will appear in the list while "check-in" the dcouments.
    Please check for the same. Also check the t-code OACT , this new repository is shown or not.
    I hope this will resolve the query.
    Regards,
    Ravindra

    You can't, Anh.  That's what people are telling you.  At this time there's no way to get out of recovery mode.   You're playing around with beta software and this is what you get.
    Tell your "developer friend" he needs to talk to other developers to see if this can be fixed, or have him replace your devices that you should never have let him play with to begin with.

  • TS3274 My iPad shuts down frequently while I am using it.  I took it to the Apple Store & they cleared it out and I reloaded the Apps and this didn't help.  What should I do?

    I am stumped as my iPad2 is frequently shutting down while I am using it.  I took it to the Apple Store where they cleared it and I reloaded the Apps, but this didn't help.  It is less than a year old.

    Another fellow Apple users suggested the following steps:
    1. Try a reset (probably unnecessary for you, but try it anyway)
    2. Clean docking port with clean tooth brush and alcohol (and not too much alcohol)
    3. Try another wall socket (preferably one that's not shared with other devices)
    4. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
    5. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
    6. Make sure you're not using a USB hub (may not have enough of power)

  • Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?
