How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

Hi All,
I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
Can any one tell me about this?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

Links to PDF files with relative paths from a Captivate 4 project

I'm creating a presentation in Captivate 4 (I'm making an exe file) with some links to PDF files; the links are buttons with the 'open URL or file' set. The presentation will be distributed in CDs and obviously the links will not work for they point to an absolute path in my PC. Is there another way to display external files? thanks

"file:\file folder\filename" is not a relative path. It's still an absolute path because you're specifying the path all the way from the root drive, whether you used a drive letter or not.
A relative path shows where to find the other file in relation to the file that is calling it.
Relative paths look like this:
myDoc.doc (if the file is in the same directory as the file calling it)
folderName/myDoc.doc (if the file is inside a folder in the same directory as the file calling it)
../myDoc.doc (if the file is located in the parent directory above the file that is calling it)
../../myDoc.doc (if the file is located two levels above the file that is calling it)
etc
Here's a tutorial that explains it better: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=230ad

Insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.

hi
I would like to know if it is possible to insert/link a PDF file in MM02 transaction.
Please let me now something.

Hi Vale,
I think that it would be possible to insert the pdf file to the MM02 transaction: Please try following the below steps:
1) Follow the path : MM02 -> System -> Service for Object -> Create -> Create External Document (URL).
2) You will get a popup saying "Create a link for Web page".
3) Fill in the required details as per the requirement. Give the appropriate title, Location for the file to be attached ( Path ),
4) Click on Execute button, SAVE.
Note: Please remember to provide the file extension like .pdf while attaching the file. Else the file wont be displayed when you try to display the attached file.
Thanks

RH9 TOC Links to PDF files are quirky

I have a project that consists of TOC book links to PDF files. In RH6 I always just manually popped them into the \!SSL!\WebHelp folder and linked to them from TOC books because importing them into the project took days. Or 20 minutes at least. Some of these files were 300 pages, so I manually loaded the smaller files too, to maintain procedural consistency. Either way, manually loading them is fastest so it just makes sense.
I'm doing this in RH9, and it works just fine in the live project. The problem is in Robohelp. No sooner do I close the project and reopen it, but all the books have question marks with crosses through them as if they have broken links. They do not. The links are STILL fine, and when I compile the project they open, just as they should. In RH6 this wasn't remotely an issue.
Is this a bug? I went back and redid the links twice before realizing it wasn't me, it was Robohelp. So whenever I open a project that has a TOC book link to an outside file, like a .pdf, or .ppt, or xls or whatever, is this going to happen? I lose visual clues for the broken links because they ALL appear to be broken?

Hi Maureen
I used to encounter this all the time with RoboHelp X5. And it coaxed me into developing what I feel is an interesting and more reliable approach.
Have you noticed that even on a fast intranet it seems to take an inordinate amount of time to open a PDF? I mean, with most of your topics, the user clicks and nearly instantly something happens. The topic generally loads right up in the topic pane. But a PDF, Word document or other file seems to take eons to load. Well, comparatively.
So I developed this thing I referred to as a "docfetch". Basically, I created regular RoboHelp topics. Linked those topics to the books pages or whatever. Then configured those topics to redirect to the PDF, Word document or other.
The expected benefit was that because I was now actually linking to topics in the project, those funky mysteriously broken links in the TOC disappeared. The unexpected side benefit was that users then saw an immediate response to clicking the link. I configured each of these topics to present some verbiage to the effect that they should please wait as the document was being opened. This put a stop to users reporting that things were "broken" as they then saw an immediate response.
The code you need will be placed in the HTML of the topic. Just insert it somewhere in the Head area.
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="3;URL=File_Name.pdf">
Of course you will want to adjust it to suit your own needs. For example, the line above is configured for a 3 second delay. You may want a shorter (or longer) delay. And you would adjust File_Name.pdf to reflect the path and file name of the PDF (or other file) you are linking to.
Hope this helps... Rick

Creating a PDF-File from a report within a service

Hello,
I have to create PDF-Files from a report within a windows service.
My source is as follows (quick and dirty) using Microsoft Report Viewer 2012
Imports Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms
Dim reportViewer1 As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer()
Dim objRDLC As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalReport()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "MyApplication.MyReport.rdlc"
Dim deviceInfo As String = "<DeviceInfo>" & _
"<OutputFormat>PDF</OutputFormat>" & _
"<PageWidth>21cm</PageWidth>" & _
"<PageHeight>29.7cm</PageHeight>" & _
"<MarginTop>0.7cm</MarginTop>" & _
"<MarginLeft>0.7cm</MarginLeft>" & _
"<MarginRight>0cm</MarginRight>" & _
"<MarginBottom>0cm</MarginBottom>" & _
"</DeviceInfo>"
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
'Fill Report with data
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource("dsInfo", dt))
reportViewer1.RefreshReport()
'Output Report as File
Dim byteViewer As Byte() = reportViewer1.LocalReport.Render("PDF", deviceInfo)
Dim newFile As New FileStream("MyFileName", FileMode.Create)
newFile.Write(byteViewer, 0, byteViewer.Length)
newFile.Close()
'Clean up
newFile.Dispose()
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
objRDLC.Dispose()
reportViewer1.Dispose()
In most cases everything works fine.
But the service crashes after some/many reports (e.g. after 270 reports or after 1.400 reports). There is no fix number of reports that causes the service to crash.
The service crashes with the following error:

Unfortunately, it is not a piece of code that I can send. The SQL would be embedded inside Oracle Reports tool, and you would have the option to save the output of the report in PDF format.
Once you have the Oracle Report developed, you can execute it from command line prompt and save the output to a pdf file. In your case, the cursor would be embedded inside Oracle Report

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.
regards,
christian

Opening an external PDF file

I am using an application called PdfName.exe to open an
external PDF file, this application just runs and opens the file. I
configure this app correctly and put it on an fscommand folder and
when I double click it it open the file I need. However when I try
to open it with a button on my Flash presentation using the
following ActionScript
on (release) {
fscommand ("exec", "PdfName.EXE");
it fails, it opens the application just fine but it can't
find the PDF anymore, which btw is in an external folder to
fscommand (i also tried inside fscommand\)
any ideas?
any other way to open the PDF?

Integrating an Exisitng multiple page PDF file into a report and outputting as one PDF

Post Author: sditmer
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We would like to be able to PDF files into a report based on a file name contained in the detail of the report. For Example, I have some data in our database relating to a specifc PDF file including the name of the PDF that I would like to print in the header of the report and then print the actual PDF as the detail of the report. The PDF may be multiple pages so I would like the remaining pages of the report to follow on each page of my crystal report. Essentially I am trying to merge a report header onto a mulitple page PDF file as a single report. Is this possible to do out of the BOX with Crystal? Do I need some other tools to do this?

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).My Visual CUT software allows you to automate the process of merging the pdf export of your reportwith a pdf file named based on a formula in the report. The resulting merged pdf file can automatically be printed or emailed.

Linking to PDF files in HTMLResources.zip file with Windows 8.1 Viewer

I have followed the instructions from 'DPS Tips' regarding creating a HTML Resources folder and compressing the PDF files etc... It works on IOS Viewer but it doesn't work on Windows 8.1 Viewer.
Is linking to PDF files in HTMLResources.zip file support for Windows Viewer?
Thanks

Hi Bob,
I do not understand, you're telling me that if I set my default browser to Chrome on Windows 8.1, the Viewer works with, or does the Indesign Folio Preview works?

Links to pdf files created in DW not working

Linking a pdf file to an html page where the expectation is that clicking on the link will display the pdf file in the browser is common. A page that I created would not display my linked pdf files. Google searches suggest this is a common problem with perhaps a variety of causes.
I found that the solution to my problem was to remove my "mark of the web" statement. When this  appeared on my web page, pdf links would not open in my browser; when I removed the "mark of the web," all worked fine.

Personally I always download pdfs for offline reading.
I do, too.
As a courtesy, I always tell site visitors what they are clicking on and the file size. If you want to force a download, you can zip the PDF file ahead of time, and post a link to the zip file.
