How to merge pdf in db, with data in db and serve as PDF doc to browser

Hi,
I have a requirement as:
On an ebusiness suite webpage user clicks on a hyperlink.
This downloads a merged pdf form, as:
a. Retrieve pdf document from fnd_lobs
b. Retrieve the data to be merged from a database table in the format merge_field_name, merge_field_value
c. Merge the data and the pdf on the fly.
d. Return the merge pdf file to the webbowser
I have never used XML etc, and browsing metalink etc, it seems the using XML Publisher may be the best way to go.
So, I would appreciate it if I could have the following answers:
1. Is XML publisher the correct tool to use for this, or is their another technology that may be better suited.
2. As we have a number of ebusiness suite applications licensed, would we need to buy an additional license for XML publisher.
3. If I am on the right track, then any pointers on how to start.
Thanks in advance.
Mark

Hi Mark
1. XMLP will do this for you with a little code.
2. As long as the data for the documents came from the delivered EBS schema (incl flexfields) i.e. not from a custom table. Then you are within the EBS license terms and there would be no extra kicense to purchase.
3.
a. You will need to extract the PDF from fnd_lobs as a PDF document and out it somewhere temporarily.
b. Write the extract and template to format the data into PDF ... this is basic XMLP suff covered in the user guide and the XMLP pages on OTN.
c. You now have your fnd_lobs PDF and the generated one, you can now combine them into a single document using an API. The PDF bookbinder API is the most poweful but there are others available too ... check the user guide for PDFBookBinder and FormProcessor.
d. then you'll need to either stream the resulting PDF to browser yourself or you can use the XMLP OA Framework common region and embed it inside a page.

How to merge PDF docs into one?

How can I merge several individual PDF documents into one? Can I use preview for this?
Thanks
a

If this is a repetitive task, use Automator. Set up a workflow. First use Files & Folders to Get Selected / Specified Finder Items. Then use PDFs Combine PDF Pages (alternatively just drag selected files to the work area rather than use the Files & Folders step). Display the results from this combinng operation, click on it to display it and verify, and then rename it as desired. The operation New PDF from Images should do that last step, but it appears to not work.

How to download & how to merge pdfs into one pdf file?

Hello everyone!
I hope someone can help me, because I am SO frustrated right now! I want to create an electronic document of a 40-page thesis I wrote. I no
longer have the original computer files, so I took digital photos of each page.
Then I converted all the jpegs into pdf files.
Now I want to merge these 40 jpegs into one pdf file.
I read that this is possible with Adobe Acrobat 8 or 9. So, yesterday I downloaded the trial version of what I thought was Adobe Acrobat 9. Well,
two whole hours later, all I could find on my computer was Adobe Reader 9, which would not allow me to merge any pdfs.
So, today, I again reinstalled the Adobe Acrobat 9. Now, after waiting another two hours, there is NOTHING on my computer--no Adobe Reader, no Adobe Acrobat, no desktop icons, nothing in the "All Programs" list when I press the Start menu, etc.
What happened? How could something that took so damned long to download be totally invisible on my computer now? I do see Arcsoft, but that is for photographs. Is it possible to merge pdfs together using Arcsoft?
I have SO much other work to do, and I am so disgusted that I have lost two days on this project, just trying to merge pdfs together! Please, if
you have any suggestions as to how to get Adobe Acrobat 9 as a trial version an/or how to merge pdfs, please answer this post!
Thank you very much for your help.
Courtney

Hi. Yes, that is the link from which I downloaded Acrobat 9. I now have this file on my computer: AcroPro90_efg.exe
Yes, I did install it, but one of the times it hanged at 99.96%. Do you know what that means?
Thanks in advance.

How to merge two Outlook 2010 pst data files?

How to merge two Outlook 2010 pst data files?

Easy way: with the one you want to use open in Outlook and the other one not in your profile, go to File, Open, Import.
If you only want to merge some content, open both pst files in outlook and drag between folders. For calendar, use a list view to see all of the appointments.

How to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?

how to declare a bind variable with 'date' data type in command prompt?
sql>variable q date;
when i execute it show list of datatypes

Hi,
As Lokanath said, there are no DATE bind variables.
You can use a VARCHAR2 bind variable, and convert it to a DATE in your SQL statment.
If you're using SQL*Plus, consider a substitution variable. It won't be as efficient as a bind variable, but it will be as convenient.
For example:
DEFINE first_entrry_date = "DATE '2010-06-20''
SELECT   ...
WHERE   entry_date >= &first_entry_date
{code}

How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production

Hi,
How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production..? Export-Import a Delivery Unit does only the structure and not the data

Hi Sri,
You cannot transport Data via Transport route in HANA, you can only transport code changes/Structure via DU. For Data movement, you either have a do a export/import from a flat file or replication from a Source System to HANA.
Thanks Much,

In power mac g5, how to take Automatic Screen Shot with Date

in power mac g5, how to take Automatic Screen Shot with Date ?
please help me

If you are standing by, and activating the process by keyboard
you could be sure to include the open Date Time menu bar
image in a complete screenshot, using cmd shift 3. Or outline
the area you want if not full-screen, by using cmd shift 4.
The command button may also have an apple icon on it.
So that's the three key shortcuts for full & partial screen.
For a more automated method, perhaps try using software to
run an AppleScript, like Automator. Then write a script or find
one that you can modify to do tasks and test it.
There may be other methods, however identifying your intent
would be higher on the list at this time; to narrow the method.
Good luck & happy computing!

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Use BCC. That's blind carbon copy. And copy paste the address into the BCC field. It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

How can I format an HD with System 10.4 and install Leopard Snow?

You need to partion the hard drive using Disk Utility. On one partition install 10.4. On the other 10.6. As a note I trust you are doing this on a MBP and not a PPC Mac because 10.6 won't install.

How to Secure pdf doc individual computer-wise or individual mobile-wise.

Could you, please, elaborate on your question. I do not understand it. Be as verbose and specific as you can. Describe what it is that you need to accomplish. Do you mean encryption? Do you mean access? Do you want to encrypt in such a way that a PDF can be opened only on a specific computer or mobile device?

Lines in what? And what language are you using to develop with?
Are the lines in a text file? A RichTextBox? A TextBox? Some other control? A List(Of String)?
Is there some expectation by you that by providing what you wrote in your question post that the knowledge in your mind about what you are thinking about will mysteriously emanate to anybody reading your post so all of the sudden your knowledge will
become their knowledge and they will be able to provide you with an answer as they will suddenly understand what you are trying to do? Because that's probably impossible. Most people try providing enough information in a question so anybody, even stupid people
like me, can understand what they want. Maybe you should try that. As well as selecting an appropriate forum for your question in the future. Usually a question like this is related to programming in a particular language therefore a language forum may be
a good choice. Or not.
