Is it possible to embed a pdf attachment to a pdf output report?

Hi community,
The question is a little bit complex, cause we do not know if belongs to Reports or tu E-Business-Suite. Our development Team has just created a report for a list of purchased/sold goods, which output is a PDF file.
On the other hand, the customer, is attaching a PDF (an agreement) to the items included in the Sales Orders in the Sales Order Window in the Order Management Responsibility. The customer wants that when they prints the report, the agrreement attached to each item in the sales order, will be printed too.
Is there any way to include the .pdf attachments in a .pdf's output report?
Thanks

1. This is not a OAF question, reports forum would be a better place to post the query.
2. I had the same requirement of merging multiple PDFs in oracle Quoting, what I did was get a third party code from net which joins two PDFs.
So, you need to do this
1. Have a request set, with two conc programs
2. Program one in the request set would generate the PDF report as it is doing now
3. Program two in the request set would go back to the order, see if there is a attachment, if yes, pulls it, calls the third party java PDF merge program, merges both the PDFs and then generate the output, which is a consolidated PDF/
Thanks

Is it possible to Embed a PDF and command by a button within a PDF document

Is it possible to embed a fillable PDF form onto a PDF document and using the button to open the embedded file?
I am using XI Pro.
Thanks.

Files cannot be "embedded" in a PDF.
Attach the form PDF to the not-a-form PDF.
Create the Button field on the not-a-form PDF.
For the Button's Action select "Go to a page view".
You'd open the attached form PDF.
The Action wll look like:
Mouse Up
    Go to a page in another document
           File: PDF attachment
           Page: 1
           Zoom level: Fit Page
The default "Open" for the attached PDF is "Window set by user preference".
You can edit this to select either "New Window" or "Existing Window".
Be well...

Hi,
I'm not aware of the possibilty to that with reports. But perhaps you could realize that with PDF-merging tools. You could create your report-pdf and merge your attachement into that ... just an idea.

How do I generate a PDF output report when the layout template is an Excel file in BI publisher 11.1.1.7

This is what I did ..
1. Create new report
2. Create a report using an existing Data Model (browsed and picked a data model)
3. How do you want to create your report? (clicked on Used Report Editor)
4. Clicked Finished (then saved the report)
5. Then it asked me to create layout (I chose Upload or Generate Layout and then browsed for an uploaded my excel template with XDO_* column mappings to the data model)
     Template File = Excel Template, Locale = English (US)
5. Clicked on Upload
6. Then clicked on View Report on the top right, which opened up my report file name "my_report_layoutname.xls" with sheet 1 (xdo mapped all fine) and a xdo_metadata sheet.
I just wanted step 6 to be a pdf report of sheet 1.    How do I do that ? Can't find the place where I can specify that.
M. Jamal

Thanks Daniel for pointing that out. Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... "   It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report. I currently have 16 reports.
Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16 and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ? Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
I will try out what you suggest any ways.

PDF Export: PDF output reported as being non-conforming to Adobe's specs.

One of our customers is reporting errors with the PDF files generated using the ReportDocument.Export() method. They are using GhostScript to parse the PDF file (here is the error that they are reporting):

According to this error message, it looks like the PDF files generated by Crystal are not compliant with Adobe's PDF specification. I've searched the knowledge base / forums for PDF information but didn't see anything along these lines. The PDF files are viewable through the Acrobat reader.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

First place to start with is the designer. Export from there and see if you get the same issue. If you do, create a forum post in the Report Design forum:
SAP Crystal Reports
Also, make sure you have SP 6 for CR 10:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005985482008E/cr10win_en_sp6.zip
You will need SP 6 runtime also. Search here for the runtime;

If none of the above helps, you will have to try this with CR 2008 (12.x) as CR 10 has been out of support for a number of years and no fixes will be released. If you want, you can share a report with saved data with me and I can do the export using CR 2008. You will then have to try to duplicate the issue in Adobe. Alternatively, you can download CR 2008 eval copy from here;

and try the export your self.

There is the possibility to showcase a pdf document?

I want to show a PDF that I have created on the page of my blog: http://dariovignali.net/hosting-wordpress/
It's like an infographic but it's not an image. There is the possibility to embed the PDF in the blog post?

If you can access the HTML, you can use the <object> element like this:
<object data="filename.pdf" type:application/pdf" width=100% height="100%">
<p>You need a pdf plug-in to view in this browser. <a href=filename.pdf">Download this PDF to view in Adobe Reader/Acrobat.</a></p>

Pantone color bars in PDF output

Does anyone knows how to get in PDF output Pantone color bars? When you check "color bars" in "marks" menu in PDF output and save your work as PDF, you'll get CMYK color bars even if there's no CMYK color at all. I don't want to draw swatches and fill them with Pantone color to get those color bars. Any idea pls.? Is it possible at all?

Hello, I don't know the right answer.
I look also for a solution and have the same question as you "Does anyone knows how to get in PDF output Pantone color bars? When you check "color bars" in "marks" menu in PDF output and save your work as PDF, you'll get CMYK color bars even if there's no CMYK color at all. I don't want to draw swatches and fill them with Pantone color to get those color bars. Any idea pls.? Is it possible at all?".
I have CMYK colors and two Pantone colors and need to know if it's possible to get in PDF output Pantone color bars (I do save as from Illustrator). And if yes, then what should I do to get this Pantone color bar in my PDF?

Opening PDF Output in browser

Hi ,
When I send a request to Report Server via WEB DB listener for PDF output report, it is generating 2 requests while opening the PDF output in the browser. If you make PDF browser integration off, it opens in Acrobat Reader properly with single request only. Has anybody come across such problem? Your help in this regards is appreciated. Thnaks in advance
Aniruddha.

To clarify what you posted:
When opening the PDF document, your browser closes. When pressing the control key and opening the document, you get a dialog window (with the choices of open or save). What happens when you select open?
This is browser behavior, nothing to do with this being a PDF file. Which browser and which platform? If you are using IE7, popup blocker is automatically enabled, and if you are viewing this on a 2003 server, you have server security settings to override. Pressing the control key allows popups.

Possible to embed pdf into email (as HTML, not pdf)?

Hi I have a client who doesn't want to email pdfs to all their subscribers. They're finding people won't open the pdf or their security systems hold the email up.
Is it possible to save the pdf out as some sort of file that can be embedded into an email and viewed when they open up the email. HTML? I tried doing a "save as", but this didn't work for me. Or course, I could be doing something wrong. I saved the file out and looked at it. Looked fine, but trying to attach it into an email didn't work.
I should mention I'm currently using version 6 pro with the upgrade (v9) on its' way. Mac G5, OS10.5.5.
Thanks. Sandra

To send an html email, you must first build a web page (with the contents you need) then send that.
Keep in mind that a lot of people have disabled the option to get the html so they will see garbage.
Here is a great resource for html email design...

Is it possible to generate a PDF and send it as a mail attachment ?

Hello All,
While there are many contributions and suggestions on how to send a pdf form via email, I will like to find out if its possible to send a pdf as part of an email attachment WITHOUT even viewing it first ? Below is a brief descrption of what I'll like to do :
1) A user logs into his inbox and checks if there are any requests for his approval. In the event that he finds one, he may either select the row item in the table to display the requests details prior to approving or clicks on approve immediately.
2) This approval action should send an email to an appointed external supplier with the request details as a pdf attachment.
All this should be done without the need to generate a interactive form. Is this possible ?
Thank you very much.

Is it possible to embed an editable PDF form into an html page?

I have PDF form (editable) that I want users to be able to login and fill out. Once filled out they would click a "submit" button and the PDF would be stored on the database. Is this possible to use a PDF - without creating a custom form from within Bc? Thanks!

It's not possible, you *may* be able to get the PDF embedded via an iframe but you certainly wouldn't be able to save the information, at least on the server.
