How to show a word document stored in a BLOB column?

Hi guys.
I'm trying to show the content of a MS Word document through forms 6i. This document was stored as byte-for-byte by an application developed in .Net to an BLOB column (oracle table). Anybody could help me in how to show this document using Internal Persistend LOBs and through forms 6i?
I've been searching for it a lot of time without success...
Thank you in advance.
Alex.

I've read about using the ole2 item, but I don't how to do it with BLOB files. I tried to use it and didn't work... I don't know if I've used it correctly or not. Could anybody give a sample, please?
If anybody knows other way to do it, please send too.
Thanh you,
Alex.

How do I search a word document stored in a BLOB using PHP?

I have been successful at saving files in a blob field using oracle.
I need to search through the word document, how can I do it using PHP?
Please help!

You're going to want to look at the Text Application Developer's guide.

Give this a read and it'll give you what you need in order to search CLOB and BLOB fields for text data.
It all works around a particular type of index which is then referenced using a CONTAINS clause in your SQL... eg:
SELECT id FROM documents WHERE CONTAINS( document_body, 'Oracle' ) > 0
Once you've got your head around the basic priniciples you're going to want to look at the document filters. This should allow you to index MS Word documents (warning: I've never used this for Word).
It's not something that you can just pick up from reading a 20 line reply on a forum, but it sounds like what you're looking for.
We use it here in order to look up on HTML documents, and it works a treat. We converted our Word documents to HTML so we could mark them up and then display them inline on pages.
We wrap up the SQL that actually does the CONTAINS clause in a PL-SQL function, but I don't image there's a problem issuing a CONTAINS over OCI. Let me know if it works!
Might this be an option for you?

APEX- How to open world document (and other files) stored in a blob column?

Hi,
I have an application developed in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 and RDBMS Oracle 9.2.0.8 (SUN SOLARIS SPARC 64 BITS).
I have a table called BAC_ARQUIVO, with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE BAC_ARQUIVO
(NAME VARCHAR2(4000), /* Name of the file stored in BLOB column */
SUBJECT VARCHAR2(4000), /* A brief description about this file stored */
ID NUMBER, /* An identification of this file - It´s a PK column of this table*/
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB, /* Blob field that store diferent kind of files - XLS, DOC, PPT, PDF, EXE, ZIP, etc);
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(4000) /* Identification about which kind of file is stored on BLOB field */
The field BLOB_CONTENT of this table can store:
- Executable files;
- MS-World Documents (DOC);
- Zip Files (ZIP);
- Ms-Excel Files (XLS);
- Ms-Powerpoint files (PPT);
- Adobe documents (PDF);
Actually, in this APEX application, i have developed a interactive Report in which the user can download these files to desktop without problems.
But now, my user would like to know if it´s possible that APEX application can OPEN some of these files stored on this BLOB column WITHOUT download it.
My user would like to see a hiperlink (or button) that, if pressed/acessed, can open a new page (or a page inside application) with the document. He doesn´t need to edit this oppened file. He only wants to see it.
For example, if the file stored in the blob column is ms-word type , so the application will open a MS-WINDOWS application with these file.
Is it possible?
I saw in this forum that it´s possible to open a file stored on "/i/" directory, but i need to open the file stored in BLOB column. I don´t want to store the file in operational system of the server.
Could any one demonstrate to me how it could be done?
Best regards,
Sergio Coutinho

Hi Sergio,
This link might be helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
Also refer the BLOB Download Format Mask :
{message:id=9716335}
Here I have given the format mask for APEX 4.0, which will slightly differ for 3.2.1 and proposed changes
in the format mask are:
1) Format Mask: DOWNLOAD
2) Content Disposition: Inline
This will be achieved with it:

Modifying MS WORD documents stored in BLOBS. (Oracle 9i Release 9.2.0.4.0)

I have a need to replace a string of characters in an MS Word document that is stored in a BLOB field in an Oracle 9i database.
Background: We have a large number of MS Word documents (~50,000) and many of them contain links to other Word documents stored on various servers throughout our network. We are moving a number of these servers, thus invalidating these links. I need to be able to update these links without having to open up every one of these documents and doing it manually.
Is it possible, using PL/SQL, to update these links in these MS Word documents that are stored in Oracle? I have currently written a quick PL/SQL routine that will find the links and provide their location within the document, but I am not sure how I can update them. The problem, as I see it, is that if the characters that I am replacing differ in length than those that are currently in the existing document, then I would have to shift the remaining bytes of the document either left or right to preserve the integrity of the document.
Is this possible, or should I pursue another option?

It does not have to manual, but I think you will need to use word to modify and save the documents.
The most automated process I can think of would be to write a client program to fetch a blob, run word, and have a word macro or add in to make the edits save, and then the client program updates with the new blob.
With that number of documents, I would probably try to fetch a bunch of blobs and have word process them all before updating them for performance reasons.
Unfortunately I would have no clue how to do the word automation, but I wouldn't touch those blobs using pl/sql

How to Convert a Word Document within BDN to PDF file

Hi All,
Currently, we have word documents stored within the business document navigator (Transaction OAOR) for our Materials. We want to be able to share these documents with our customers through a Web Interface such as Web Dynpro; however, we need to convert them to a PDF file first. Currently, we are obtaining the document contents in order to convert the word document to Binary. A Sample of this code is listed below. From this point, we are hoping to convert to PDF; however we are uncertain of how to do this. Is there a standard function module or class that will perform this conversion of a Word document. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How do I find word documents on iCloud?

I have logged on to icloud but when I click on iWork, the only tabs are for keynote, numbers and pages. There is no tab for word documents but then how do I access word documents on iCloud?

I have no idea as I am not ever going to use a Cloud system for storing my personal files. I have computers for that. Your best bet would be to use Google and type in "Uploading files to Apple's iCloud system". I bet you will get all the info you could ever ask for.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

How to insert a word document or an RTF document into RichTextEditor?

How to insert a word document or an RTF document into af:richTextEditor. I am using Apache POI for reading the Word document and getting its contents. I am able to display the whole content of the document except the table and image within the document. The data in the table is getting displayed as a string and not as a table inside the editor.
Can we insert a word/RTF document into a rich text editor?
Can we insert images into the rich text editor?
The following is the code that I used. On clicking a button the word document has to be inserted into the <af:richTextEditor>.

immediate="true"
columns="110" rows="20">
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{SendEmail.richTextEditorDrop}">

<af:commandButton text="Insert at position" id="cb2">
<af:richTextEditorInsertBehavior for="rte1" value="#{RichTextEditorUtil.docFile}"/>
</af:commandButton>
Java Code: I am using Apache POI for reading the word document.

Hi,
images are not yet supported. Its an open enhancement request for the rich text editor.
For tables, it seems they are supported but in a basic way (just HTML 4 style) if I interpret the tag documentation correct
