Error while opening PDF file downloaded from database Blob column

Hi All,
I am working on jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
In my use-case I am using filedownload Actionlistner on a link to get the PDF file stored in the database in blob field. These files are being uploaded from other use-case in adf only.
After getting the dialog box to open/save/cancel for the PDF file when i click on open then i am getting an error *'Adobe Reader could not open 'abc.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type*
or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly docoded)' for some files , and to my surprise I am able to open some files.
When I open these PDF files separately from desktop I am able to view the content of each and every file in adobe reader.
I dont know where the problem exactly lies , while uploading/downloading the file . Any ideas/thoughts to resolve this issue?
Thanks
Kanika

Thanks a lot Timo...!!!
I checked the PDF file downloaded directly from the blob column in DB, there only it is corrupted so must be the problem in uploading the file. I am checking the code line by line,, but no problem in setting the file content type,size etc.
Here is the code snippet ..
byte[] buff;
buff = new byte[(int)length]; -- Length is the file size
int bytesRead = is.read(buff);
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = is.read();
int b = is.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
BlobDomain blobDomian = new BlobDomain((buff));
TestVORow = (TestVORow Impl)TestVO.createRow();
if(blobDomian != null) {
TestVORow.setAttachment(blobDomian);
am.getTransaction().commit();
This seems to be Ok to me..the same issue, file is still corrupting.
Any thoughts from your side ???
Thanks
Kanika
The problem is resolved.
Changes made are instead of
InputStream is;
used ... BufferedInputStream bis ;
and after
for (int i = 0; bytesRead < buff.length; i++) {
// int b = bis.read();
int b = bis.read();
if (b == -1)
break;
buff[i] = (byte)b;
bis.close(); // use this close bufferedInput Stream.
Able to open each and every file now..Thanks for your suggestions Timo and Frank.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
     We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
     xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
     OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
     docProc.process();
     PrintInvoiceThread :
          out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
               out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
               out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
               out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
               out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
               out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
               out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
               out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
          public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

How to open report.pdf file? getting error message file cannot be previewed pdf preview handler

how can I open a report.pdf file that shows error: file cannot be previewed because of an error w/ pdf preview handler

Hi pfmercerville,
If you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 (or Vista), you will find that your PDF files do not preview in Windows Explorer as they do in the 32-bit versions. Instead, all you see is a message stating that This file can’t be previewed. To enable this functionality on your 64-bit operating system, follow these steps.
1. Click the Orb (Start Button).
2. Go to the Search programs and files textbox and input regedit.
3. Select regedit.exe from the results.
4. When the UAC prompt appears, click the Yes button.
5. In the left pane of the Registry Editor, go to (and select): 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\{DC6EFB56-9CFA-464D-8880-44885D7DC193}
6. In the right pane, locate AppID.
7. Change AppID value to {534A1E02-D58F-44f0-B58B-36CBED287C7C}.
8. Restart your computer for the change to take affect.

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.

Making .pdf files downloadable

How do I make .pdf files downloadable in my iWeb page?
I have several .pdf files on my desktop that I'd like to make available to visitors to my iWebsite for download. Please forgive me if this is "intuitively obvious." I am new to the forum and am also navigationally clumsy until I use it a while.

You either need to Zip or Compress, as it is in 10.5 and then in iWeb click on Inspector and then Hyperlink and just create a hyperlink to a file. One someone clicks the link, it will then be downloaded as a Zip file containing the pdf.

TAx Reporter Temse Files Download Automation

Hi,
I have a reuiqrement to download the Temse files generated in Tax Reporter. I have completed the code and it works fine if we run the program in foreground. But when I run the same program in background some Temse files downloaded have junk characters. If I download the same Temse file in foreground it works fine.
There seems to be some issue with the FM when I run my progam in background.
I have searched SDN and SAP Notes for any clues but did not get any.

Hi Bhaskar,
I also have the same requirement to upload TemSe files in to application server.
In FDTA tcode after we enter company code and click on enter.
In the second screen checking and line item and go to edit and click on download button.
Here we see a popup with default file name, and when we say ok the file will get downloaded into C:\.....
Here our req is to upload the file automatically pick up via batch job and place it in the in to the application server and from there it should be placed in the Netwrok server (UNIX).
Pls provide me with suitable code so that i can finish it off.I tried a lot but did not work.
Thanks.

PDF files downloading as html files

I am trying to save pdf files from a database but firefox keeps on saving them as html files instead, even when saving it shows it saving as *.pdf. I have only just fixed the problem of not being able to open the pdf files and now using adobe reader add on but now can't save the files I have opened. I need to be able to access these documents when not online. Instead of studying for the last 3 hours I have been trying to solve issues since downloading the lastest version of firefox. This was never an issue with the older version.

Hi WinchesterBunnyMama, what exactly is your problem. Is it this issue:
Some users are finding that an update changed the description of "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Firefox HTML Document". The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry if you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
''*'' If you do not have Adobe Reader 11, you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

When I open a link in a pdf file downloaded by Foxfire, it uses Safari, not Foxfire, although I have designated Foxfire as my default browser

When I download a pdf file with Foxfire and then click on a link therein, it calls upon Safari, not Foxfire, to get that link. This causes some complications. I have designated Foxfire as my default browser, so this should not happen. Is this a fault of Adobe or something else?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== some time ago

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

ERROR OPENING PDF FILES DOWNLOADED FROM INTERNET

I have a problem when I download a pdf file from Internet and I try to open in throughout Acrobat Reader. It appeared one error saying "The file path is not valid". What can I do?.

Hi there,
I found this can happen if the file does not download correctly. When this happens, simply try redownloading the file and wait until it has fully downloaded before doing anything else with the browser.
Does that work now?
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

Mod_osso folder protection and file download issue

We are using 10.1.2.2 AS with SSO. I have a directory under the htdocs directory that I have specified to be protected via SSO. This part works fine.
I have a protected directory of log files which works fine. Even a log file of 54M downloads fine.
I have a protected DOCS folder that contains
1 .doc file 4.9M,
1 .doc file 78K
1 .pdf file 2.1M
After the user logs in via SSO, they can download the .pdf and the small .doc file, but the large .doc file gives the following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot download largefile.doc from localhost
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
This has also happened to me in the past with large .zip files.

Hi!
I had wondered whether it was the websites issue: i've since managed to get the application-my friend downloaded it onto his phone over the internet and Bluetoothed it to me, so i've got it anyway. Just a bit strange, as i transfereed the file to my Mac and it decompressed into a folder again...

How to make a PDF file downloadable on my website?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a PDF that can be downloaded from
people that are on my website.
I tried to point a link to the PDF file that's on my sever
but all it does open the PDF file in a new window.
How can i make it so that people can download that PDF file
when they click on the link.
the url to that website is
Link">http://www.hostlyon.com/pizza-demo/[L=Link
to website
There will be a link on the navigation bar that says
"download menu" . Thanks!!!

Multiple file download issues

Hi All,
I have designed an APEX application to download multiple files. I have check box in each row of the file name and a download button.
When the users checks set of checkboxes and click on the "Download" Button, i am expecting the marked files to be downloaded. I am encountering the below issues in this implementation(i.e single file download is fine):
1. When ticks all the check boxes and click download, the files are never downloading. The target URL goes something like this :
www.example.com/abc/bcd/wwv_flow.accept
and there is a cross icon in the new page. No download happening.
2. When ticks few files and leave rest of the files un-checked, there are either junk charactes in target page (or) only the last checked box file alone downloading.
Please refer the code below and advice. Thanks very much in advance.
Code:
=====
declare
check_box_val varchar2(500):=' ';
file_name varchar2(500):=' ';
begin
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop
check_box_val:=nvl(htmldb_application.g_f02(i),' ');
if(check_box_val<>' ') then
sho_pdf(check_box_val);
end if;
end loop;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
sho_pdf.sql
========
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE FDM_UAT14.sho_pdf(p_file in varchar2)
AS
l_blob BLOB;
l_bfile BFILE;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (l_blob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
l_bfile := BFILENAME ('UPDOWNFILES_DIR', p_file);
DBMS_LOB.fileopen (l_bfile);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile (l_blob, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength (l_bfile));
DBMS_LOB.fileclose (l_bfile);
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('application/octet',

I have read that "patch number 8548651" need to be applied in order to download multiple files in Single Page. Is it true? Pls refer this page :
http://dgielis.blogspot.com/2010/01/oracle-application-express-patch-set.html
8555172 -- BLOB download links are incorrect when multiple file items referenced on a page.

PDF File Download from a JSP

I want to have a JSP that will be used to download/display files. I created
          a test.jsp page that tries to return a test.pdf page. Whenever I run it,
          the browser displays some characters and then hangs, but never displays the
          pdf file. If I browse directly to the pdf file it displays fine in the
          browser. What am I doing wrong in this JSP page:
          <%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
          <%
          String mimeType = "application/pdf";
          response.setContentType(mimeType);
          try
          FileInputStream fis = new
          FileInputStream("d:\\work\\internet\\appserver\\presentation\\rdoc\\test.pdf
          ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
          System.out.println("Begin...");
          int i = fis.read();
          while(i != -1)
          sos.write(i);
          i = fis.read();
          sos.flush();
          sos.close();
          fis.close();
          System.out.println("End...");
          catch(Exception e)
          System.out.println(e);
          %>


The JSP will send new lines etc. to the output stream because you have new
          lines in your JSP.
          All right, since you asked, I will have to post my secret source:

Illustrator CS4 .pdf files - two issues

Issue 1: In Bridge I cannot open an .ai or .pdf file in Illustrator by clicking a thumbnail. Is 'drag and drop' into Illustator from Bridge the sole method? (apart from not using Bridge).
Issue 2: After exporting an .ai file to .pdf (Acrobat Pro CS4) a 'File Association' alert is shown. In previous versions of Illustrator the newly created .pdf file would open up in Acrobat for review/email forwarding etc when the 'preview in Acrobat' was selected... I am confused about the correct settings in the File Associations Panel in Bridge (Edit/Preferences/File Handling) under Illustrator it shows Illustrator and in the drop down InDesign and two other programmes I do not use. If someone can advise me how to add Acrobat to that drop-down I would be most grateful.

Don't think it could be corrupt preferences. I've tried trashing the prefs as well as reinstalling CS4.
I've noticed that it has something to do with an object that has a stroke. If I create a new box without a stroke then then my initial measurements are correct. However if I add a stroke my measures change according to the stroke weight. I've looked for ways to turn this off, but can not seem to find anything. I think this problem has something to do with the over all appearance of things.
Which lead me to another issues I'm having.... What happened to the "Filter" menu? When I try to round corners on a rectangle it applies the round corners as an effect "appearance". I have to expand the appearance in order to the corners to actually be rounded. Why did this change? I want to change the actual object the first time I create it and not take extra steps. This can waste a lot of time. I think this same issue is what is going on with the stroke weight. I don't want my object size to increase when I increase my stroke weight. If I did want this, I would create outlines. Can this be turned off? If not, I will have to continue using CS3 until Adobe fixes this problem.
