Issue in PDF printing using FOP

We have configured Print server as per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html section #5
However when we try to print pdf, it says "Page Cannot be found"
In the print server oc4j log, here is what we see:

Is there any setting that we are missing.Any help will be appreciated.

I too use multiple report queries which are then converted to XML and passed to the FOP server, I'm not sure what you want is achievable in the report queries. Alternatively you can use XSL in the style sheet to conditionally display output.
e.g.
<fo:block font-size="8pt">
<xsl:for-each select="//ROWSET2/ROWSET2_ROW">
<xsl:variable name="vContactTypeName">
<xsl:value-of select="CONTACT_TYPE_NAME"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$vContactTypeName = 'URL'">
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="CONTACT_TYPE_VALUE"/></fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>
Hope that helps

  • Pdf Printing using fop

    Hello gurus,
    I am receiving the following errors once I load my .fo file and test it:
    Adobe could not open 'accpted_risk_rpt[3].pdf, not a supported file type or fille has been damaged.
    I am using Apex 3.2.1 on Oracle 10g. I have purchased the java4less to produce my formatted reports and export the .fo file.
    Then upload the file into my Apex environment and attach the file to a report query, then I receive the error. When I attach the file to the defuault fo layout, provided by apex it doesn't error on me. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mary

  • PDF Printing with FOP/Apache Tomcat/J4LFOPServer in windows

    Hi everyone,
    I have been learning to create pdf report with Apex 4.2 and BI Publisher 10 which I have been successful with. Now I like to learn how to create pdf reports using FOP thinking of the customers who will not spend money on BI Publisher. I have gone through the documents and procedures described in Java 4 Less. http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php and http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php?info=apex. Configured Apex instance setting accordingly.
    For default layout a tabular pdf report is created.
    I have created an xsl-fo file named Formatted_report.fo on same query and xml file from report query with BI Desktop. But when I try to print a formatted output with Formatted_report.fo report layout it does not work(J4LFOPServer ). but same layout with .rtf template works fine (BI Publisher Print Server).
    Please help

    hi,
    if you use the J4lFOPServer as you write, you can set it in debug mode as described here:
    http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php?info=faq#debug
    you will then see the XML data and the FO data in the server window. Maybe you can see there if there is an error and that can help you fixing it.

  • Problem with number-fields in PDF Output Using FOP

    When generating PDF Output using FOP as described in the utilitiy provided in the HTMLDB Studio http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:12104450162492733947::::P44_ID:1522
    formatted numbers over 1,000 are resolved as characters (because of the comma) and are therefore right justified. This results in alignment issues for numeric columns.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to work around this.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hello,
    Your probably going to have to edit the xslt to get the result either by stripping out the comma or by setting that column to explicitly align the way you want it.

  • Sync Text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP

    Hi,
    How to sync text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP ?
    I tried setting the dimensions of HTMLEditor and PDF in pixels by calculating the size in Pixels for A4 paper size with a particular dpi value.
    Have done the font settings as well. The problem is I see uneven line cuts in the PDF as compared to HTMLEditor.
    Thanks.

    It's not a realistic expectation. You are expecting the PDF produced by whoever provided your FOP implementation to observe exactly the same typographical rules as HTMLEditor. Basically it won't, and there is no way to enforce it. Line breaking/hyphenation/word spacing algorithms can be of great complexity. You are expecting two systems that aren't specified to agree, to agree.

  • PDF PRINTING using Apache FOP and Oracle Containers for J2EE

    Hi,
    I am having major confusion about the pdf printing in Oracle XE and Apex 3.1.2.00.02
    It clearly states that this is an available option on the Oracle website.
    According to Apex there are two options for printing report regions.
    Standard - which is free
    Advanced - which uses BI and requires a licence
    Standard requires me to have Apache FOP (which is provided by Oracle in the Apex release) and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
    Where my understanding of all this falls down is the part where I am downloading the Oracle Containers for J2EE and the license agreement states this cannot be used in a production system (only as a protptype). Can anyone clarify this? This is surely a required componenet and for the standard report printing which is supposed to be free.
    My problem is that I need to have a database system on a laptop that will go off site for a number of weeks. We need report printing options.
    Can anyone help with this. im desperate.
    Kind regards
    colin mclay

    no not yet with Application Server.
    I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
    If i call the url adresse like:
    http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
    i get:
    500 Internal Server Error
    Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
    I installed it another time with these settings:
    Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
    Anwendungsname= fop
    URL zuordnen= /fop
    I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
    Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?

  • Printing PDF documents using FOP

    Hi,
    I seem to be getting the following error when printing to PDF using FOP:
    report error:
    ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1186
    ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
    I've set up PDF printing by following the (FOP) instructions in the following link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    I've verified that my OC4J container and the jsp page apex_fop.jsp is running as it should as I can get PDF documents back if I call the jsp page outside of APEX (by sending in my own template and xml request parameters).
    I've also verified that I do hit the apex_fop.jsp page when trying to print from within the APEX application. The problem is that the two parameters template and xml are both null when trying to print PDF from APEX.
    It appears as though APEX is not sending in the template and xml request parameters.
    My test case is to create a simply report query in shared components, use a generic layout, select the pdf option and click on Test Report. The result is the error shown above.
    Any ideas? I know I'm close!
    btw, I'm using 10g and APEX 3.1
    Sanjeev

    thanks Dimitri ..
    I have progress... I went back and reconfig'd my oc4j, since Ihad donethat a long time ago.

    Not sure what to make of this, but it does give the xact same error each time.
    For what it's worth, I can successfully call a test page per Marc Sewtz's blog, so conceptually something is working, which is progress. I'll keep at it, but suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the direction.

  • Weblogic 10.3.4 as report printer for PDF printing using apex_fop.jsp

    Hello,
    Is it possible to use the apex_fop.jsp in combination with Oracle Weblogic 10.3.4 for PDF printing?
    We have managed to get our Apex application to print PDF documents using Apache FOP with Oracle Weblogic 10.3.3 or Apache Tomcat 6 as a report printer.
    But when we are trying the Oracle Weblogic 10.3.4 server as report printer, we will get the Error 500--Internal Server Error error in the pdf.
    One of application server log shows the error "Expected Node-set in Path Expression".

    Steve,
    I am using JSF2.0 and getting javax.el.ExpressionFactory NoClassDefFound issues.
    OEPE Helios
    Weblogic 10.3.3
    I have an EAR containing one WAR.
    WEB-INF/lib
    el-api-2.2jar
    el-imp-2.2.jar
    jsf-api.jar (2.1.1)
    jsf.impl.jar (2.1.1)
    jstl.jar (1.1.0-D13)
    web.xml has
         <context-param>
              <param-name>com.sun.faces.expressionFactory</param-name>
              <param-value>com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl</param-value>
         </context-param>
    EAR has
    weblogic-application.xml with
    <wls:prefer-application-packages>
    <wls:package-name>org.eclipse.persistence.*</wls:package-name>
    <wls:package-name>javax.faces.*</wls:package-name>

         <wls:package-name>javax.el.*</wls:package-name>
    </wls:prefer-application-packages>
    I see by your post that JSF2.0 support can be solved by either deploying a shared-library or using the weblogic.Deployer utility. Unfortunately, we don't have access to change the Weblogic instance in any way. I was hoping that using the prefer-application-packages would be sufficient to use alternative classes to Weblogic's but I have not been able to get it to work for the javax.el classes. I have tried not including javax.el and the app deploys but then accessing a page produces a javax.el.ELResolver no method found for invoke. Invoke being a newer method defined in el-api-2.2.jar. If I was able to convince them to add some shared libs, what are all the jars that would be required to make this work?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Issues with Form printing using a 3rd party software!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

    Hi All,
    We are printing our month end AR statements using Xerox DP100 printers. We are using a SAP Script as the layout form. Everything works perfectly alright when a direct print is issued to the printer. But the scenario here is the statements are sent to a 3rd party software so that the statements can be saved in their repository and made available to be viewed and printed whenever necessary. Now the issue is when this 3rd Party Software(TPS) reads the SAP generated PCL from its report store on the unix host and generates a PDF File that it presents to the web client user for (re)printing via his/her PC it appears that the TPS or Websphere or Adobe is performing a font substituion - replacing the Univers font(used in R/3) which is not loaded on the unix host with a different font(with different sizing and/or behavior).
    As a result the horizontal and vertical positioning generated by SAP(which is correct for the Univers font) is 'wrong' for the substituted font. The fixed size fields print OK but gradually move to the right. The varying size amount columns do not align correctly and fall off the right side of the page.
    Can anyone give me pointers on what can be done to arrest this error.
    Does the font need to be loaded on the unix host or the font used in the form be changed?
    Regards,
    Karthik

    Karthik,
              Sap script behaves differently for different printers. You will have to change margins when you change your printer/software accordingly.

  • PDF Printing Limitations FOP & Cocoon?

    Iam trying to export a report with more than 500 rows into a pdf.
    Iam using fop + cocoon and the pdf is broken with more than 500 rows.
    Are there any limitations when exporting to pdf?
    Iam using cocoon-2.1.11
    and tomcat 5.5
    Does anyone knows whether apex itself makes the limitations or cocoon/fop?
    Is there any possibilty to export only the shown rows? (the result has 500 rows, but it shows only the first 200, can i export these first 200?)

    Hello,
    We have produced reports with way more than those numbers of rows so I don't think that is the problem.
    Are you sure there's no potential issues with the data itself? Try exporting the XML for the report query and looking through to see if you have any potentially problematic characters in there.

  • Issue with PDF Printer in Acrobat 6.0 on windons 8

    I use the PDF writer on acrobat.  I had an Windows XP PC which died and the new PC is windows 8 (no xp available).
    The s/w I have is Acrobat 6.0 standard it had issues w/ compatibility which I selected to load anyway.
    It gave 3 errors all the same Warning 20225  A Acrobat 6.0 setup unable to create Adobr PDF Port Monitor, the PDF Printer may be unavailablr.
    And it is.
    I down loaded and installed the to updates
    Ac60BaP1  and   Acro-Reader_6.0.2_Update
    Still has the issue.
    Can you help me?
    Is there a copy of 6.0 which would work I could download and use my license key on the disk I have.
    Customer service could not help only upgrades from 9.0 and did not know the issue
    I just need the PDF writer actually for my Resume print, currently looking for a job laid-off so money is tight.

    You might be able to use Acrobat and Distiller, but the print driver and AcroTray will probably not work. For AA6 (assuming Acrobat and Distiller work), install a PS printer and set the port to FILE and change the name to Adobe PDF. Then when you print to the Adobe PDF printer (or use PDF Maker -- of course PDF Maker for AA6 will not work with OFFICE 2007 or later) you will create a PS file (probably have a PRN extension). Just open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. The 3rd party options are always there, but have pros and cons.

  • Header in pdf overlaping body of pdf doc:using fop

    I'm generating PDF file with FOP, but my header contents are not fixed, they keep on changing with each report and with each locale of browser.
    Because of this my static width / height setting like
    margin-top="0.25in"or
    margin-top="0.95in"is failing for some reports, i.e my header is overlapping with body contents.
    Is there a generic solution which can fix this?
    More details:
    Header of pdf is overlapping on the contents of body of pdf, because of which I am not able to see my top contents in my body of pdf document.
    I want to way by which ,if header contents are increased then body should start after the layout of header.
    But in pdf api it is required to set:
    <fo:region-body margin-top="1.25in" margin-bottom="0.50in" />
    <fo:region-before extent="1.25in"/>
    <fo:region-after extent="0.50in"/>which is causing problem bec. when my text in header increases beyond 1.25in which is specified in
    <fo:region-body margin-top="1.25in"then in that case header text overlapps body text.

    When you distribute a form using the distribute process, Acrobat replaces whatever code you placed in the button with its own. You do not need to use the distribution process to set this up. Instead, Reader-enable the form and your button should work like you want.

  • Problem printing files to Adobe PDF printer using VBA

    I have an Excel project. Part of the code prints the active sheet range as a PDF file. Later code then sends the PDF file as an e-mail attachment. The Code was originally written using the free application PDFCreator and works as intended. However the client wants to use the Acrobat "Adobe PDF" printer instead.
    Each PDF must have a name as specified in the code and must be sent to a specified folder, again as specified in the code.
    The Adobe PDF printer insists on 1) using the path specified in the printer preferences and 2) naming it as the workbook name + .pdf.
    I have checked the Distiller API reference and it tells me that if a key is set, the output path and name can be controlled. However, setting the key as described does not work. The PDF printer ignores it and creates another key named as the output file with a REG_SZ value that is numeric and increments each time print is invoked.
    Attached is a screen shot of the registry entries.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I have.
    However, I think I have solved this.
    First, I am using Win 7 64 bit, so the application is not excel but c:\windows\splwow64.exe. I've modified my code so that both XP 32 and Win7 64 are catered for.
    Second, the print command I used in VBA was
    ActiveSheet.Printout ActivePrinter:= "Adobe PDF"
    It looks like that starts a different Adobe DF printer to the one that would look at the registry. If I change the code to
    ActiveSheet.Printout
    and set Adobe PDF as the default printer in control panel, the whole thing works as planned.
    All I need to do now is to set the printer to Adobe PDF within the code so the user doesn't have to do this in Control Panel. Obviously, my approach above didn't work, so what is the way to do this?
    Here's the sub routine as it stands at the moment:
    Public Sub PrintUsingAcrobat()
        Dim strOutFile As String
        Dim PDFPath As String
        Dim FileName As String
        Dim XPApplic As String

        XPApplic = Application.Path & "\excel.exe"
        X64Applic = "C:\Windows\splwow64.exe"
        Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE As Long = &H80000002
        Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER As Long = &H80000001
        Dim lRC
        Dim sPath

  • Adobe PDF printer  - Use VBA??

    I am using Microsoft Access 2003 and have Acrobat 7 (Adobe PDF) and Acrobat 5 (Adobe PDF Writer) installed on my machine.   I can print to the Adobe PDF printer by using this code:
    Set Application.Printer = Application.Printers("Adobe PDF")
    DoCmd.OpenReport strReport, acViewNormal, , , acHidden
    I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use an Acrobat object to set the path and document name without user intervention (which the code above requires as a dialog pops up requesting that information).
    So, I am pretty good at figuring out how to use the various properties and methods of objects but I am just not sure WHICH objects I should be dealing with and I got lost in trying to read the SDK.
    Can anyone provide at least a push in the right direction?
    Bob
    P.S. If I posted this to the wrong forum or category, please do not just tell me that I did, but let me know where it should go.  I posted this originally to the wrong place and was told so, but I had to use a private message to the employee (who told me I had posted to the wrong place and locked the thread) in order to find out that THIS might be the proper location.

    "Adobe no longer supports Acrobat 7 (let alone Acrobat 5!!!)"
    Yeah, I know - I work for a large bank (contractor) and they move VERY SLOWLY with upgrades.

  • PDF Printing using BI Publisher

    Hello,
    I'm using APEX 4.2 and trying to export some classic reports to PDF. I followed these directions to install BI Publisher:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html
    Entered these values in the Apex Aministration Report Settings section:
    Print Server: BI Publisher
    Print Server Protocol: HTTP
    Print Server Host Address: http://TOSHIBAUSER-PC:9704/xmlpserver (also tried with localhost and failed)
    Print Server Port: 9704
    Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
    Back in my Classic Report, I configured these settings in the Print Attributes tab:
    Response Header: Report Settings (also tried with Print Server and failed)
    Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:7:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R7671716059006280
    I'm getting this error:
    report error:
    ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have never configured PDF printing this way and am pretty lost.
    Thanks,
    John
