How to inclulde digital signature in PDF outputs using XML Publisher
I'm working on AR invoice print report which is a custom report. One of the requirements of this report is to include the digital signature in the output which is in PDF format.
We have below code components for this custom report.
Oracle Report (RDF) - to extract the invoice data
RTF template - for report layout
Bursting file - to split the output into individual PDFs
Is there any document available to implement the digital signaure in my case?
I'm looking for the steps to implement this in my custom report using XML Publisher.
Take a look at the report designer's guide; section "Adding or Designating a Field for a Digital Signature" here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187.pdf
Thanks,
Bipuser
If I am not mistaken, this would require using PDF templates and use of Adobe Acrobat Professional.. Maybe others can chime in with other/better options..

Report VS Excel output using XML Publisher tool (DBMS_XMLGEN)
Hi All,
Currently I am working on report generation in MRP module with Excel output using XML Publisher tool.
XML tool works based on query.
I have developed PLSQL block by using DBMS_XMLGEN – database package, to generate XML output of query.
My question is how we can put generated xml on above PLSQL block into OUT file (APPS).
Because DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( ) has limitation, it allow 255 character string only.
But I do not know, Is FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,’’) allow for large data?
If it does not allow what will be the other solution in oracle application to resolve above problem.
Let me know any queries regarding to this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Sai Krishna @cavaya.comHi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. We did apply the one-off patch and got rid of the problem of not viewing 'Excel' output using XMLP.
Now we are looking at a different perspective:
Basically our client is looking for the following:
1. Mathematical functions in the resulting XLS (like SUM, AVG etc..) ouput
2. Use of macros if possible.
And to do this i am looking out for a sample template that gives me output in excel format I have a TAR with Oracle for this purpose, but the TAR has so far been unsuccessful in providing us with any material in the direction.
Our client remembers seeing this as a demo at the Oracle Conference this yr at San Fransisco, but does not have a sample to provide us. We are looking for such a sample.
Thx,

Creating a text output using XML Publisher
Hi All,
Recently i created a report for my client using XMl Publisher. The Data Definition was XML and the template type was RTF and i got the output in a PDF format. All was going smoothly until the client decided at the last moment that they wanted to print this in a dot matrix printer!
I've read some articles on XSL- Text layout templates. But i can't get my head around it (I'm Functio-Technical as opposed to Techno-Functional )
How do i convert my RTF template to give me a text output?
MirangaFrom what I know, you will have to create another template based on "XSL" layout or eText layout (both of them require different coding methods). The RTF can not create text outputs even in 11g. This is based on my experience so far. You can create RTF output (available by default) based on the current layout that you use for PDF and see if it can be printed in a dot matrix printer though.

Not getting Euro Symbol in PDF Report using XML Publisher
Hi,
We have developed an Oracle Report from Report Builder 6i and also a Template in RTF Format.
We are using XML Publisher to display our XML Output in PDF Format to Users..
There is a Field called Comments on Customer Transaction Form, where user can enter any characters and that we are querying in Report and displaying on the PDF Output.
Currently, the user entered a Euro Character on the comments section and that was not visible to user on PDF Report and replaced by a Question Mark as below:
"3% price reduction ?89.91, 20% marine"
When i am Querying to the Database, i am able to see the Euro Symbol, but when i checked the XML generated on the Unix Box for the Report. I found as below:
"3% price reduction \342\202\25489.91, 20% marine"
So, the Euro Symbol on the database is replaced by " \342\202\254" in the XML Output and ? in the PDF Outbut.
Please help ASAP.

value set based on view (view - select level id, chr(level) cl connect by level <= 500)
for example, chr(64) - @
so in xml you have code of @. sample xml is
<ROWSET>
<ROW>64</ROW>
</ROWSET>in rtf template pick
<?xdofx:chr(to_number(ROW))?>
select chr(14844588) from dual

How to send digital signature from pdf form to fdf file?
Hi...
I already create the pdf form that contain digital signature field using ACROBAT XPRO...and now i would like to send data from pdf form to fdf file.I already manage to send data from other field except the digital signature.How to send the signature digital value to FDF file so that i can display it back to PDF file next time?Can anyone help me...i really need help right now...
tq..hi....
thanks for replying..
George Johnson wrote:
It did work with earlier versions that did not perform a full save when a signature was applied. Since Acrobat/Reader now do a Save As when a signature is applied, there are no incremental saves to include in the FDF. This can still be useful for forms that haven't been signed, oddly enough, but since you cannot control whether the user performs a full save, it shouldn't be relied on for general use. The big problem is extracting the appended saves from the FDF so you can concatenate it to original document. The FDF Toolkit is the only thing I'm aware of that helps with this.
as u said that,Fdf tool kits can help to solve my problem.Can u send me the sample of code using java so that i can get the value using Fdf Tool kits?

Excel output using XML Publisher 5.5
Hi,
We are trying to obtain output of a simple customer summary report in 'EXCEL" format. For this purpose we have registered a 'RTF' template using which we get output in PDF/RTF formats. We are trying the 'EXCEL' format for the first time. Each time we run the concurrent request for XMLP, and then click 'View Output' we get a pop saying the following message
"ORA-1403: no data found". The same report works perfectly fine when i run it using the template builder/viewer tool i have on my desktop. Can some throw light on this issue that we are facing.
Please note that this is extremely important for us, as we plan to design a 'Gross Margin' report using XMLP in 'EXCEL' format and for this, this needs to work. Any inputs will be helpful.
It would be great if someone in thr group can share a sample RTF template that generates output in 'Excel ' format.
Tx,

PDF Report Using XML Publisher
Is there anyway to only print a field on the last page of a PDF report I know I can use
<?start@last-page:body?> <?end body?> in an RFT report but I don't see anything in the documentation for pdf's to have one field just print on the last page....
For example i have a purchase order report that I copied for a tif file converted it to a pdf and put the place holders on it, but when the po goes to two pages the total is on both. I would like just to see the total on the last page. I'm using pdf's because these templates are already done and all I have to do is put the place holders on them.
Is this possible with a pdf or only rtf's or is this issue resolved in the new release of xml publisher I'm currently using 5.6.1.
thanks for any help
AlexHi Alex
We do not have such support for the PDF templates nor immediate plans to add this and other RTF functionality, sorry.
You could continue to use the PDF as preprinted stationary or even scan the PDF and use it as a watermark image on an RTF template.

How to implement MICR Fonts for AP Checks using XML Publisher
Hello -
We are upgrading from Oracle 11.5.9 to R12.1.1
I have created the RTF template for AP checks. Everything works except that now I have ti implement MICR fonts. Our earlier solution was through Optio, which I can not use now.
Please help me find necessary documentation to find ALL of the steps required to implement MICR fonts in the XMLP/RTF/PDF environment. Also, do we have to buy the fonts files, or are they available for free to download. We are using HP-UX 9000.
Thanks
Rajeev Goyal
Edited by: rajeevgoyal on Sep 17, 2009 10:14 AMUsing MICR in XMLP is like using any other special font (i.e. barcode). Please see below some link on how to have the fonts(MICR) working on your templates. Also, you could buy fonts but may want to try first on the MICR font shipped with the BI Publisher Desktop (i.e. C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts).

How to create editable PDF template for XML Publisher reports
Hi,

I tried looking and saw this can be done using the XML Publisher report and using PDF template.
But I got only Adobe Acrobat Reader and it does not have the facility to create Form fields.. Can you let me know what software I need in order to create the editable PDF Template.
In the user guide, it didnot mention anything regarding this.
Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template or do i have to got for PDF template only?
Any help is appreciated!
ThanksHi,
To edit PDF template , u need Acrobat writer, which is not free .
I am still wondering what is this ?
"" Can I create editable PDF report using RTF template ?? "".
What is editable PDF report. ?
i think what you tried to mention is ,
can the PDF output from xml publisher is editable ?
If that is the question , so here is some points,
If you have Acrobat Writer or prof.edition, you can edit all the PDF documents irrespective of being from where it is generated.
To make you understand more of XMLP.
You create RTF template in word, so that , after merging with xml you can have multiple output formats like PDF, XLS, EFT,..... -
Oracle Matrix Report output to XML Publisher
We have an Oracle matrix report (rdf) registered in our applications and we are trying to format the report output using XML publisher.
I have taken XML output of the report by changing the Report output to XML in concurrent program definition. Using this XML output we have started designing the RTF template using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2.
I am not able to get the MAtrix output in XML publisher. I am not sure how to design a Matrix Report using Template builder for word. I am not sure whether the XML output of Original Report has Tags mentioning Matrix report attributes or Not.
Can anyone help me by explaining how to design a Matrix Report template using XML report output. Appreicate your help.I have posted a Blog on our blog site about how to create a matrix report in XML-Publisher

Help bring a multipage scanned document (TIFF) in PDF format using XML Publ
Help bring a multipage scanned document (TIFF) in PDF format using XML Publisher.
In the generated XML file data into BLOB field is, but their XML Publisher can not handle.
If the output TIFF, multipage PDF file in the report, the report prints a blank.
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/tiff"> <xsl:value-of select=".//FILE_DATA"/>
If the output JPG file to a PDF report, all displayed perfectly.
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/jpg" height="9 cm" width="12 cm">
<xsl:value-of select=".//FILE_DATA"/>
ThanksIt seems that these error messages MOD_OC4J_0184 etc are associated with some sort of timeout.
My problem finally solved - see my comments at:
Re: FOP
I would like to see the PDF format using FOP docs made clearer that 2 http servers are involved in this process, one serving htmldb pages and the other oc4j stuff.
Is it possible to do the PDF format using FOP with only the htmldb http server??
