How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,
    cust_email,
    filename,
    company_profile,
    -- customer_image,
    decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(customer_image),0),0,null,
    '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
    'src="' ||
    apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE', customer_id) ||
    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

How do I display blob (image) in a Portal Report

I am using 9ias 10222 and portal 30983 and I have a table that stores an image as a blob and have a varchar field to store the mime type. I have created a form to upload the image and can then query the form to display the image.
How do I dislay the image in a Portal Report/Dynamic Page Component. I have followed note 68016.1 but the retrieve_img_data procedure does not work it gives a wwv-11230 error.
Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
Can you display what code you used for this? I followed note 172045.1 and everything compiles properly but when I run the report, I just get a box with a red X in it, like it is not finding the picture. I ran the procedure that downloads the image and it works fine from there. Thanks.

How to display a BLOB (Image) in a EBS Report?

User requested to add a Logo image to a report which is called from E-Business Suite (EBS).
The image is currently stores in a BLOB column.
How can I make the image to display on the report?
Thanks!

I was trying to use the BLOB and display the image in a report.
Per your suggestion:
"Select the column in your query.
Create an item in the layout editor and set the source to this column.
Set File Format to Image."
My question was I dont know how to "set the source to this column" as you described above.
So, to work around it, I moved the image file phyically to the UNIX file system.
Then, created an item in the layout editor which required a valid "image file path" the property palette.
Since, the report was created under windows, it did not validate with UNIX file path.
That's why i need to perform extra steps to get the file path correct to work in UNIX.
EDIT:
I guess when you said "set the source to this column", you mean to map the "Field source" attribute in the property palette to the database column from query.
But depends on what item you want me to create (I created a "Link File" item) and it does not have the "Field source" attribute available to map to a database column.

How do I remove background images from a PDF? Using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.

I have a file I need to print off, but the document is 100 pages lond and each page as a very obnoxious background image that makes it difficult to read the content, and I really don't want to waste the ink.
I have tried a few things with no luck:
-Tried replacing document background color in the 'Accessibility' tab in preferences.
-Tried unchecking the 'Display large images' field in the 'Page Display' tab in preference - this leaves a dark gray background that I can't get rid of, which is almost as bad as the original image.
-Tried several combinations under the 'Color Management' tab in preference to lessen the gray background achieved from the previous step. I can only brighten the shade slighty, but there is still a fair amount of gray background.
I just want a white background, or a clear background, and I have not seen any article or help topic on how to accomplish this. Please help!
Mike

You might want to see if you can select the background with the object touchup tool. If so, can you then just delete the selected object. May take a while to go through the document, but if it solves the problem you are ahead. You may be able to select it with JavaScript and repeat the process. My point of using the object touchup tool is that it may not be a background set by Acrobat, but something that is simply labeled as an image from the Acrobat viewpoint.

Blob Image blows up PDF Report

Hi!
Following problem: I select a report logo (size 33k) from the database in a blob field in the header section. When I create a PDF the report grows up enormously in size (10 times bigger than a report without logo) - I think the logo will be put in the pdf for every page. When I implement a static Image in the header section the report ist much smaller.
How can I solve the problem?
Bye,
Rumburak

Hello,
Which version are you using ?
If you use a version >= 9.0.4 , you can use the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT.
This parameter has an impact on the output size :

Print PLSQL Dynamic content region in PDF format in Oracle Apex

Hi All,
I have created a report region by selecting "PLSQL Dynamic Content".This region calls the procedure with some parameters.So i want this plsql dynamic content to be in PDF format.
For an easy understanding, I have created an application in Apex.Oracle.Com where i have created a Plsql Dynamic content which calls procedure do display in region.
Step 1: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:15635986742760:::::
Step 2: Workspace : dev_dilip
Username: [email protected]
Pwd : 123456
Step 3: Open PRINT_PDF application and Run the application.
Step 4: Username: [email protected]
Pwd : 123456
The procedure code can be viewed by object browser.
Once user cliks PDF (button inapplication) a new tab should open and that plsql region should in PDF format.
I kindly request all to check and advice me with your valuable suggestion.
regards,
Doddi Dilip.

SO, you want to print the output of the procedure in pdf format? If so, you can try apex Report Query feature. You can find a number of examples for the same in this forum and in the internet:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt_otn.htm
Or, have a IR based on a collection; the collection based on a function returning query. And then, use the IR's generic download option to print reports.

How to print the mirror image of a pdf file?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to print the mirror image of a pdf file? I could have sworn I have done this before in an older version of Acrobat.
I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
Thank you,
Tina

I just tested this and it worked fine for me.
When you select to print the cropped page, in the print dialog will be a thumbnail of what is about to be printed. Does this display just the cropped portion or the whole page?

I need to print a mirror image of a PDF on my iPad. Is this possible?

I need to print a mirror image of a PDF on my iPad for an iron on transfer. Is this possible? I have Pages and GoodReader but can't figure out how this would work on either app. Help!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

How do you insert an image into a google map using a macbook?

I am trying to put images into a Google map using my MacBook, but cannot seem to find any help. How do I insert an image into my Google map using my MacBook?

Nothing complicated with your menu - very clear "ADD Image" but my menus are not as simple. Everytime I need to add an image I spend 5-10 minutes searching again. Wonder why so hard. I generally find Acrobat menus cryptic and unclear and I am big Adobe fan - use Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, Fireworks etc - but Acrobat menus are like calculus in the dark.

I have an image that I want to print – 25" X 36". I want to use my 8 ½" X 11" printer to do this.

I have an image that I want to print – 25” X 36”. I want to use my 8 ½” X 11” printer to do this. In previous PS programs it was just a matter of setting up a grid using guides and selecting an area to print. I got the exact portion and was able to tape together the patchwork into the large image. With CS6, however, this does not seem to work. When I try “Print Selected Area” I get the wrong size image. I have tried everything. Any suggestions?

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;

table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())

table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.
