Inserting pdf content to database

Hi,
I am working with adobe live cycle and using web service i am inserting pdf content to db , Live cycle is installed in my machine so the data insertion is possible from my machine ,but i am trying to insert data from other systems in our network it is not working , adobe reader 9 nstalled on these machines .Is necessary to register any other dll to GAC for working with this on client machine if so pls specify the dll. I am waiting for ur reply ,pls reply as soon as possible

Hi,
I suspect that you also have the full version of Adobe Acrobat on your PC.That is why the data connections work on your system.
Unless you Reader Enable your form with LiveCycle Reader Extensions Enterprise Suite, then web service calls / data connections will not work in Reader.So if your users have Reader the data connections will not work on their PCs.
Here is a summary of functionality in Acrobat and Reader.
Good luck,
Niall

Inserting XML content into Database

Hallo
i´m new to Oracle.
i want to insert xml content into the database. for testing i installed the version 10g on a windowsxp computer.
i read the oracle xmldb developer´s guide. on page 3-4 ff. it is explained how i can insert content into the database. that´s how i did it (with isqlplus):
create table example1(key_column varchar2(10) primary key, xml_column xmltype)
-->works fine
create table example2 of xmltype
-->works fine
now i made a directory under c:\myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp
create directory xmldir as 'c:/myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp'
(also tried: create directory xmldir as 'c:\myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp')
--> in this directory is a file named: mydokument.xml
--> works fine
insert into example2 values(xmltype(bfilename('xmldir','mydokument.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')))
the following error message is displayed (in German):
ORA-22285: Verzeichnis oder Datei für FILEOPEN-Vorgang nicht vorhanden
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_LOB",Zeile 523
ORA-06512: in "SYS:XMLTYPE",Zeile 287
ORA-06512: in Zeile 1
whats wrong? can anybody help me please?
ohhh....
thank you very much

George

Directory entries are case sensitive.
Select * From dba_directories to ensure you case is the same as you are using in your insert statement.
Are you using the same user? if not grant read on directory directoryname to username;
try to just select.
select dbms_lob.getLength(BFileName('directoryname','filename.xml'))
as length

Inserting pdf file into database

I am trying to insert a adobe pdf file into a multimedia field in my database and while I can get it to cut and past I would like it to auto size into the box that I have defined for it. I have many records to compile, thousands. Some of these pdf files have several pages and it would be nice to be able to scroll through thier content in that multimedia field box. How do I do this? Is it possible? If not I assume I am stuck with making a link that opens the file. I assume this is possible. How do I do this?
Thanks in Advance,
Shane

Hello
You may enter the Layout > Layout mode to enlarge the area dedicated to the multimedia field.
But there is no provision for an autosize feature.
The link soluce is not available in databases.
I mimic it true the "enhanced database" structure requiring an AppleScript.
You may find the script on my temp iDisk or in the Peggy's one which is organised well.

After storing pdf in a database table I miss some content

Hello,
we develop an Application with APEX 3.0.1 and create pdf-documents. The database is 10.2.0.3. Report Queries were created in APEX and layouts were created with BI Publisher. There were defined two buttons. The first one is for interactive printing the report pdf and it works correctly. The second button is for saving just this report pdf in the database, the PL/SQL procedure use the same ReportURL. If I view this report pdf after storing in the database, the pdf displays not all of the content like in interactive printing document.
Is there anybody who knows this situation? What can I do for finding the reasons for this behavior?
Best regards,
Susanne

Susanne,
I'm not sure how you're retrieving the PDF document in the DB and store it there. But you mentioned that you use APEX 3.0.1, have you considered upgrading to APEX 3.1.2? In 3.1 we introduced print APIs, like apex_util.get_print_document that are designed specifically for this purpose:

How to batch upload PDF files into database BLOB

Hello.
I have a requirement to batch upload PDF files into BLOB column of an Oracle 8.1.7 table from Forms 6i Web. The content of the blob column (ie. the PDF content) MUST be displayable from all client software (eg. Oracle Web forms, HTML forms, etc.)
Our environment is
Middle-tier is 9iAS on Windows/2000
Database is Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on VMS
Oracle Web Forms 6i Patch 10
Basically my Oracle web form program will display a list of PDF files to upload and then the user can click on the <Upload> button to do the batch upload. I have experimented the following approaches but with no luck.
1. READ_IMAGE_FILE forms built-in = does NOT work because it cannot read PDF file. I got error FRM-47100: Cannot read image file
2. OCX and OLE form item = cannot use this because it does NOT work on the Web. I got error FRM-41344 OLE object not defined
3. I cannot use DBMS_LOB to do the load because the PDF files are not in the database machine.
4. Metalink Note 1682771.1 (How to upload binary documents back to database blob column from forms). When I used this, I got ORA-6502 during the hextoraw conversion. In using this solution, I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site. I've noticed that when I looked at the converted HEX file, each line has the character : (colon) at the beginning of each line. I know the PDF file has been converted correctly to HEX format because when I convert the HEX file back to BIN format using hex2bin.exe, I'm able to display the converted bin file in Acrobat Reader. When I removed the : (colon) in the HEX file, I did NOT get the ORA-6502 error but I CANNOT display the file in Acrobat Reader. It gives an error "corrupted file".
5. upload facility in PL/SQL Web toolkit - I tried to automatically submit the html form (with htp.p) but it does NOT load the contents of the file. I called the URL from Oracle forms using web.show_document. There seems to be issues with Oracle Web forms (JInitiator) and HTML (+ htp.p).
The other options I can think of at this point are:
1. Use SQL*Loader to do the batch upload via SQL*Net connection and use HOST() built-in from Oracle Webforms to execute SQL*Loader from the 9iAS.
2. Write a Visual Basic program that reads a binary file and output the contents of the file into a byte array. Then build a DLL that can be called from Oracle webforms 6i via ORA_FFI. I don't prefer this because it means the solution will only work for Windows.
3. Write a JSP program that streams the PDF file and insert the contents of the PDF file into blob column via JDBC. Call JSP from forms using web.show_document. With this I have to do another connection to the database when I load the file.
4. Maybe I can use dbms_lob by using network file system (NFS) between the application server and VMS. But this will be network resource hungry as far as I know because the network connection has to be kept open.
Please advise. Thank you.
Regards,
Armando

I have downloaded a bin2hex.exe from the Google site.
... each line has the character : (colon) at the
beginning of each line. I'm afraid it isn't a correct utility. I hope you'll find the source code of a correct one at metalink forum:
Doc ID: 368771.996
Type: Forum
Subject: Uploading Binary Files: bin2hex and hex2bin do not reproduce the same file
There is some links to metalink notes and some example about working with BLOB at http://www.tigralen.spb.ru/oracle/blob/index.htm. Maybe it helps. Sorry for my English. If there is any problem with code provided there, let me know by e-mail.

call function 'DB_COMMIT'.
loop at g_tab_edpar into g_wa_edpar.
    insert into edpar values g_wa_edpar.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
      move-corresponding g_wa_edpar to g_wa_edpar1.
      append g_wa_edpar1 to g_tab_edpar1.
    else.

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

Inserting PDF inc. comments as an Object in MS Excel

Hi,
I created a PDF document (Adobe Acrobat Standard 9) including a text box comment in that PDF. When I try to insert this document in a MS Excel Spreadsheet by using "Insert --> Object --> Adobe PDF Document" the inserted PDF in Excel does not show the Text Box comment anymore but the rest of the PDF looks okay. At the same time when the PDF is inserted in Excel, Adobe Acrobat pops up and shows the PDF document still containing the text box comment!
Does anybody knows how I get my Excel to show the comment Text box in the inserted PDF document??
Many thanks in advance
Georg

fwiw -
In the Pro release there are Preflights that will flatten.
Also, doing a Print that uses the Adobe PDF "driver" has, in the Print dialog, a drop-down (upper right) that lets one select
printing the PDF Document, Document & Markups, Documents & Stamps, or Form fields only.
Must flatten the annotations into the PDF page content because, otherwise, they are not of the page content (which is the PDF object being inserted).
Be well...

Servlet retrieves pdf content stored in oracle and sends this content

I have pdf content stored in an oracle database. The database column type is LONG RAW. I am retrieving the contents using jdbc's getBinaryStream. The content type is set to pplication/pdf. When the code is executed, the acrobat is launched but the content is not displayed. After analyzing the contents retrieved from the database, I discovered that characters were missing. I replicated the same code in a different language and it was working.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how was it resolved.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

What is the character set of the Oracle db that you are using. I would suggest that you try to set the char set to Unicode and try.

Insert PDF document into Word 2007 document

I am trying to insert a PDF document into a Word 2007 document and only the first page inserts. I am desperate to finish this project. Thanks for any help.

A lot depends on what your end goal is in using the PDF. Without some concept of where you are headed, there is not much more that can be said, other than list a bunch of other ways to interact with WORD.
Yeah, I agree with Bill@VT. More precisely say, if you just need to quote the pdf content, you can just use "snagit" screenshot program to capture desired part of the pdf file as an image then paste into your word document. Usually in this way, there will not any resize or data loss of reuse pdf content into word file.
And of course, if you want to further change or edit the pdf content or seamlessly <link removed>, you just try to convert pdf to word with Adobe Acrobat or other software.

Store zip content to database

Hi, I need some help or idea since I got stuck with storing zip content to database. What I really want to do is storing a huge trunk of zipped content in our database as a blob. In my program, I created a ZipOutputStream that contains the logging detail. At the end, I tried inserting the stream to the database using preparedStatment.setBinaryStream(input stream, size) from Java. Unfortunately, setBinaryStream() method only accepts an input stream as the parameter. How do I convert the ZipOutputStream to an InputputStream? Or is there other way to go around this?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

I tried chaining them together with ByteArrayOutputStream and ByteArrayInputStream. But somehow it doesn't seem to work. Here is the how I do it:
byte[] data = sb.toString().getBytes();
int size = data.length;
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(size);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(baos);
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(bos);
out.setLevel(9);
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry("test.txt");
out.putNextEntry(entry);
out.write(data, 0, size);
out.flush();
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
out.close();
preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(2, bais, bais.available();
preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
Any hints? thx! by the way, I use http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=281034 as my reference.

How to insert html code to database?

Hi
Sorry if this post is not related to this forum.
My problem is, I want to insert the html page content to database (mysql). I could not find any function that can parse the html code and then add escape characters.
Thanks in advance

Just store raw HTML in database. Always use PreparedStatement and you're safe.
On display, you can escape HTML (XML) using c:out.
