JSF and reports in PDF
Hello Everybody,
I�m using jasper reports to generate PDF reports. First thing user do is select the begin date and the end date for the report, after data I would like the report being open in a new window.
I�m processing the report in a Managed Bean method, and then writing on the response (which I changed the type for pdf). Because of that I�m using commandLink, or commandButton, not outputLink.
Do anybody know some way of oppening in a new window without using outputLink?
Thank you very much,
[ ]s
Hello to all,
weeks ago I was proving with iText (library pdf), this is the source code that I am using... I hope that it serves to you!

celda.setNoWrap(true);
celda.setPaddingTop(4f);
celda.setPaddingBottom(4f);
celda.setPaddingLeft(2f);
celda.setPaddingRight(2f);
return celda;
}The most important method is configureResponse(response, fileName), this forms the exit from the document to a file pdf.
In the line: response.addHeader("Content-disposition ", "attachment; filename = \ "" + fileName +".pdf \""); I indicate that type of exit will be your special document in the parameter attachment if you want to keep the document or inline if you want to see contracted in the page Web.

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email
Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Report in PDF format and email it to some clients, using Database Trigger
Hi
Is it possible to run a report in PDF format ad email it to some clients after a specific event through Database Trigger. For example whenever a client makes an entry into order entry table (through entry form), a trigger should execute on Orders table, this trigger should execute or generate a PDF formatted report and finally mail it to Sales team?
I have
ORAS 10g(10.1.2.0.2)
utl_mail configured.In Reportsconfig.properties file the http port is 7778,
now the output is like this...

Hi,
I am using CRM ONLINE 2013.
How to automate below process?
1. On Approval Of Quotation, Run Report.
2. Generate PDF.
3. Send an Email With PDF as attachment.
As i have gone through many forums for this topic, but creating a plugin code for generating Report PDF is not possible in CRM ONLINE.
So, What is the alternate way to do this..?
Thanks.This is my entire code mentioned below:-

Convert ALV report into PDF and mail ( Hierarchical List View )
Hi All,
I see many posts of PDF download but none resolve my issue.
I am writing a report in APO SNP which fetches data and displays an alv using REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY as i need to show the result as a Hierarchical sequential list.
I need to provide the functionality of PDF download ( online ) and Email with PDF as attachement ( Background ) for the list output.
I read the post http://www.sapdev.co.uk/reporting/rep_spooltopdf2.htm which provides a sample program and tried to incorporate but the control doesn't come back from the ALV function module.
How do i trigger the spool creation while still showing the output and then send email?
Suggestions and pointers are highly appreciated
Regards,
KDHi.,
Check this wiki: [Convert ALV as PDF Attachment|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/SENDALVGRIDASPDFATTACHMENTTOSAPINBOXUSINGCLASSES]
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards,

Currently, I saved my report as PDF. It opens in Acrobat reader automatically when the report is executed. Is there a way for me to save it as PDF and as a text file at the same time? (without having to open the file in Acrobat reader and saving it)
You can add your PDF and TEXT file formats to a distribution list (Instead of GENERATE REPORT TO A FILE). To do this:
1. Go to your Object Navigator and highlight your report.
2. Right click on your report. Select Property Palette.
3. Select Distribution
4. You can add of of the formats that you want to print or save to the report to.
5. You will have to add Distribution Id (any number starting with 1) where you want the file to be saved (c:\my_reports\inventory.pdf), the type of file: PDF and how many copies you want: 2
6. Click OK after finishing...
To make it work ... You would highlight your report from your Object Navigator and then choose FILE-DISTRIBUTE and this will save it to all the files your specified and/or printer.

Converting report to PDF and mailing
Hi every one,
I've gone through various threads and i'm aware of the Functional module's used to
convert the report to pdf and mail it back.Like CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF and for mailing we have SEND_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I've worked with this but my problem is i'm not able to convet the report output to pdf.When i'm doing this i'm getting the output of my functional module converted to pdf like the number of header and item records available for the given data in the selection screen.
Since all the threads i've gone through is converting the single internal table which has the output to pdf.
But i've got the REUSE_ALV_HIERSQL_LIST_DISPLAY, hierarchial report which as known has got two internal tables.How to the same to this kind of report....More over is it possible to convert report to pdf in online without transfering it to spool and getting the spool id to convert it to pdf.........
Any help or suggestions will surely be rewarded......
Thanks in Advance.....Here is the complete code for you;
It Converts spool request into PDF document and emails it.

Convert SMARTFORM report to PDF and send as an email attachment
Hi
I am using the CONVERT_OTF function module to convert a SMARTFORM report in the "spool" to a PDF file. When I use the DOWNLOAD function module, the resulting file can be opened in acrobat.
I would like to email the report in PDF format as an attachment. I am using the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to create an attachment however the attached file is not being created correctly and When try to open, it gives 'File is damaged and could not be repaired' error message. I believe that somehow I am not using the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module correctly.
Please help me to correct this

Adobe 7, and opening a pdf file with a auto generated report
We have upgraded to the latest version of a tool we use to generate reports. The older version, when you exported the report to a PDF file, it would open it in an internet broswer, IE 6/7 in this case, and just display the PDF in the browser.
With the latest version of the reporting tool, when you export a report to a PDF file, it opens up a blank IE windows, and subsequently opens the autogenerated report in a separate Adobe Reader window, but it does not have the primary focus. It pop's under the blank IE window. This causes a lot of confusion to our employees who are not computer savvy as they are not aware the PDF actually opened since the window did not get primary focus on the screen.
The company which writes the tool for us says there are no changes to the way it auto generates the pdf file, and insists it has nothing to do with their software.
We decided to dig a little deeper and only found one difference between the old and the new software.
Old - Content-Type: application/pdf
New - Content-Type: application/pdf;charset=UTF-8
Would that command cause our problems? It almost seems at though Adobe 7 plugin in IE7 doesn't recognize the "charset=UTF-8" and dumps the pdf to the full Adobe reader.
If anybody has any insight, or would need some more info to help solve the problem just let me know.
Also, we have to stay with Adobe 7, since all 7000+ computer's this affects have identical images, and upgrading to a new version costs $$$$ and has to go through massive channels.Welcome To Discussions Kathy216!
If these are files, that are already on the Hard Drive, click once on a pdf document to highlight it.
Press the Command + I keys, to Get Info.
Click on the ▼ Disclosure Triangle for Open with:.
Select Adobe if listed. If it is not listed, select Other..., and navigate to Adobe, and press Add.
In the Get Info window, click on Change All.
If these are pdf documents, that you are viewing on the Internet, a handy utility to use is PDF Browser Plugin.

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob
Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers
KHi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.
This here may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
