Page Navigation view/editor Bug?

So if I have a lot of navigation components on a page (links and buttons, including several tables with page buttons on them) and I am in the Page Navigation view, there are a bunch that are off the bottom of the page when I want to click-and-grunt (connect, whatever) a link to a nav choice. it's bad. I have to edit the XML (yuck!).
hm...

Hi
Engineers are working on this (CR# 5022058 ). You will hear the status soon.
Thanks

IDE bug? Page navigation problem.

Is there any way to see all of the buttons on a page in the Page Navigation screen?
When you left click on the page in the Page Navigation screen, it expands, but not enough to see all of the buttons.
I have a page with a lot of buttons on it, and I can only see the first 10 of them and cannot find a way to scroll down.
Thanks.

A bug report has laready been filed for this issue.

Bug in Page source view

In Page Source view in 32-bit Firefox 3.6 under Windows, if there is a URL in the source code that is erroneously not closed with a quote, for example:
<a href="http://mozilla.com>The Mozilla' site</a>
(Note absence of quote after .com)
And you reload the source view, it loads the source of the page in the URL instead.
In normal page view, leaving off the quote will cause the link not to be displayed, so it is a common reason to open source view and try to identify the problem.

You can disable the context highlighting if you find that distracting. In this case it should make noticing that something is wrong more easily though. A link starts with a quote and ends with a quote and everything between the two is considered the link. If the second quote is omitted then it is the choice of the developer on how to deal with it. Either not to interpret the text in between (you may even have forgotten to HTML escape some characters &quote; &lt;) or try to catch up in case you forgot a closing quote. Both can have their disadvantages in case of an error from you.

Navigator-view limitations: what if there are too many buttons to show?

I have a page that is really bad design, but I use it to fire up various dialog-paths into my application. For that I've got for every dialog-path a button that is only there to get me to the first page of a series of one business process.
This is where the Navigator-view came in very handy, it allowed me to easily (re-)configure the links on my test-index.html. From every button I would drag a 'line' to the next page.
But after putting 14 or so buttons on this page, I noticed that in the Navigator-view, only 13 buttons are displayed, the 14th and next buttons don't fit on the enlarged (purplish) page, so the navigation from those buttons can't be created using this really handy view on my application.
I might be overseeing something, but there seems to be no way to scroll down to see the buttons that 'fell off' the page.

Unfortunately the nav editor doesn't handle this well. One thing you can try is to switch the layout to draggable layout since I think the pages are slightly larger in that layout mode (see the nav editor context menu).
Another option is to use a combo box to do navigation; make the combo box contain the page case names, have it auto submit, and on submit, have the event handler do something like this:
getContext().getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(getContext(), null, "" + dropdown1.getValue());
(The select items for the combobox can obviously have different values than display names so your combo can display user friendly page names that are separate from the navigation case names).

ADF Menus for Page Navigation

I have completed the [ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] tutorial.
Everything work as expected, with one exception. The 'Add and Bind Navigation Pane Components' section has you put a Navigation Pane in the menBar facet of the panel header. In the Hint dropdown you select 'buttons' and set some other properties.
When I run the finished project, the menu items in the menbar are displaying vertically instead of horizontally as the image with the tutorial shows. Why? How do I get them to display horizontally?
I really like that menu model and plan utilizing it in real world application; unfortunately, have the menubar dislay vertically in the panel header is unacceptable.
<f:facet name="top">
 <af:panelHeader text="ADF Menu Example" id="pt_ph1" size="0">
 <f:facet name="context"/>
 <f:facet name="menuBar">
 <af:navigationPane id="pt_np1" hint="buttons" var="menuInfo"
 value="#{root_menu}">
 <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
 <af:commandNavigationItem text="#{menuInfo.label}"
 id="pt_cni1" icon="#{menuInfo.icon}"
 destination="#{menuInfo.destination}"
 action="#{menuInfo.doAction}"/>
 </f:facet>
 </af:navigationPane>
 </f:facet>
 <f:facet name="legend"/>
 <f:facet name="info"/>
 </af:panelHeader>
 </f:facet>

Ok, I am still at a loss as to why this is happening.
It seems to be related to the either navigationpane or the menu meta data.
I have only foudn one difference so far. The tutorial states that JDeveloper us org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.XMLMenuModel managed bean class by default; however, my project used oracle.adf.view.rich.model.MDSMenuModel. When I use the XMLMenuModel, the only visible diference is in the Visual Editor and the Preview panes. The menus appear horizontally in those panes, but not when you run the application in a web borwser.
Still troubleshooting.

Page Navigation Woes

So I love this tool, and desperately need it for my project. I'm a huge fan.
BUT - I have troubles with what appeared to me to be a JSF idiom re: navigation.
I have had to add by hand (in the source view) of my page navigation something like:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>Home</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/index.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<And So On... I have several and they are well formed...>
but in the graphical layout, there is a little red box with an "x" in it, indicating badness.
Is this:
a) a bug (it don't do that)
b) a missing feature (it'll be in version 2.3.4.5)
c) a bad idea all around (because you shouldn't do it for moral/idealogical reasons)
Help? Opinions?
Now the real reason for this (idiomatic mechanism) is to be able to create pages later that can rely on a jspf called something like "MajorLeftMenu.jspf" which has these ActionLinks that can point to the well-known pages in the app that lets you get somewhere directly without having to have explicit links in the page navigation file. Seems like a reasonable design to me, simplifies the page nav file and relies on existing machinery in the built-in nav structure.
Cheers.

It does appear to work at deploy (the Fragment stuff I posted is what's holding me up from testing for sure.). Even if there was a glyph that was what you intend to use when you get it enabled that might be better than the error glyph?
Geary/Horstmann's book Core JSF uses this as a common idiom... (the wildcard in the from-view-thingie)

Next/previous slide in navigator view

I don't know if I'm just totally stupid, but I'm getting nowhere.
If I'm in Navigator view, and has mouse focus on the slide in the center window (not the lefthand sidebar with all slides listed), and I want to move to the next slide, I naturally click 'page down' - but it is not bound to 'next slide'! Has this always been the case, am I just in Powerpoint mode? No default shortcut to go to next/previous slide, really?
(I know I can create my own binding through the menu commands Go to > Next Slide etc.)
Edit: I did search for similar posts, but the suggested thread did not come up until after I posted - here is the same question anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23795464

See benvu's comment above. I found this thread looking for a solution to the exact same problem. Say you want to animate an object such that it appears from off-slide and ends up in a pre-defined place. You do it by using an 'action build' on the object, of type 'move'. But because the slide itself is always jammed into the upper left-hand corner of the canvas, it's extremely awkward placing the initial position off-slide to the left or top. You can do it by first placing it and animating it fully on the canvas, then move it off the canvas - but you can never grab it back afterward to reposition it.
For those of us who love Keynote because it allows us to create cinematic presentations that are more artful communication than bog-standard bullet points spinning in from space (+à la+ PowerPoint), this sort of technique is invaluable and oft-needed.
I, too, have posted a 'feature' request (or rather, a 'bug report').

Fixing the detailed navigation view.

Hi
We all know that we can expand or shrink the detailed navigation view. Is there any way to make the detailed naviagtion view immovable I mean it should have fixed width and it cannot be expanded or shrinked.
Thanks in advance
Srikant

Hi DV,
We can remove the expansion and shrinking of the navigation panel by removing the navigation panel header, using the theme editor. U cannot remove it as such but u can reduce the size to a minimum so that it wont be visible at all.
The detailed navigation panel is an iview. It can be found in PCD>>Portal Users>>Std Portal Users>>Default Frame work page>>Desktop inner page. There u cna see the detailed navigation panel and u can edit its properties over there.
Hope this Helps

Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf). When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals. However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating.
Please help.

Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.<%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample, com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer, com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource, java.sql.Connection, java.sql.DriverManager, java.sql.ResultSet, java.sql.SQLException, java.sql.Statement"%><% try { String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt"; ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName); if (clientDoc == null) { clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); // Open report clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); { // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT **** { // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme"; String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"; String userName = "dbuser"; // TODO: Fill in database user String password = "dbpassword"; // TODO: Fill in valid password String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'"; String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS"; // TODO: Change to correct table alias JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query), tableAlias, ""); } } // Store the report document in session session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc); } { // Create the CrystalReportViewer object CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); // set the reportsource property of the viewer IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource); // set viewer attributes crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true); crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true); // Process the report crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); } } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) { out.println(e); } %><%! // Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report. // This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any // Crystal JRC SDK functions. private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName, String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException { //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried Class.forName(driverName); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); //Execute query and return result sets return statement.executeQuery(query); }%>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well.

CrystalReportViewer - Setting parameter throws ancestor error on page navigation

We are having web application reports in the application using BO-XI SDK Viewer API. This API approach was working fine earlier. We upgrade our reporting component to SAP BO-4 (Crystal Server 2011) due to EOL of BOXI.
We have updated new API’s provided by SAP as per guide.
We updated web based Crystal Report Viewer (DHTML Viewer). The crystalreportviewer folder coming with SAP CS 2011.
We applied updated patch set upto last patch released CS2011 SP4 Patch4.
We still facing issue while viewing report in DHTML viewer provided by SAP. Please advice on below.
In our web application we do have updated folder for /crystalreportviewer.
We dynamically creating enterprise session object to get client document which explained as below –

Thanks in advance for your advice / suggestions.

Am I right in guessing that you were previously using the ActiveX viewer?
Currently your code is closing the document and logging off Enterprise. Pretty much any action that is done in the DHTML viewer will cause a postback to the server which will no longer have the document or session available with your current code which will cause all sorts of problems. You need to persist these objects, and only clean them up once you are completely finished with them.

Pdf viewer/editor queries

I am currently using Okular and acroread. Occasionally pdfedit though I don't like it much - the typewriter-type tool isn't as convenient as Acrobat's and I find Acrobat infuriating to being with.
Okular is pretty nice but has a couple of drawbacks:
1) it doesn't use CUPS default settings for printers and it doesn't seem to remember chosen settings either. So I need to remember to set A4 paper and duplex for every document I print. It also doesn't remember the last used printer so I need to set that as well. (It keeps going back to the default printer - that seems to be the only CUPS default setting it *does* use!)
This is irritating but not fatal.
2) Although Okular allows me to edit a PDF form and to save the result and it has a presentation mode, it is impossible to edit a PDF form while in presentation mode. At least, I've been unable to figure out a way. The problem seems to be that it interprets a click as "next slide" even if the click is over a form box. So it just advances rather than allowing me to type in the box. I've tried enabling different tools before switching to presentation mode but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
acroread, on the other hand, allows me to edit the form in presentation mode but won't let me save the result.
Does anybody know of a PDF viewer for Linux which allows both the editing of a form in presentation mode and the saving of the result?
I know there are a lot of different PDF viewers available and I've tried a reasonable number but I can't find any notes addressing this particular feature.
If there are any work-arounds I might be missing, I'd be interested in those as an alternative. I create the pdf forms using pdflatex and beamer. So if, for example, there was a way to enable the form for saving (equivalent to enabling it using Acrobat which I've heard is possible), that might work. I'd rather avoid acroread if I can - apart from anything else it seems very unstable and the AUR package seems neither very well thought through nor adequately maintained - but if it might work, it would be worth a shot.

So I discovered a partial work around but it isn't very satisfactory as it stands.
Today I used acroread in presentation mode to complete a form. Before saving, I printed the document to cups-pdf. This isn't ideal. It basically prints one stage of each slide in the middle of an A4 page (as if on paper) but it does retain the added text.
However, apart from the fact that it comes out a bit small, the quality of graphics is poor. This doesn't always matter much but sometimes it does.
Also, my slides use a shading effect from a lighter to darker colour of blue. This is quite subtle normally. However, when "printed", the top half of each slide is a block of the lightest shade while the bottom is a block of the darkest shade so it is extremely distracting.
Assuming there is no suitable PDF viewer/editor for Linux which will do what I'd actually like to do, is there a way to improve the output from acroread/cups-pdf? acroread tends to crash if I try to change the print settings but it does respect cups defaults. So maybe I could somehow create a custom printer for this specific task? Assuming it is possible to get better output? I'm not sure whether this is a cups-pdf or acroread issue, though.

Page navigation buttons not working properly

Hi,
I am having a multilingual Java Application (e.g. English, Japanese, French...). In this application there are reports which display the data using locale parameter (like en_US, ja_JP etc.) to display the data in selected language.
The problem comes up when I see Japanese reports on English operating system machine and vice versa.
When I click any button of page navigation it changes the page number but does not load and display the page accordingly.
It's like when I run the report it displays the first page, then clicking on Next button brings 2 in navigation field but the report would still show first page, same happens for 3, 4.... all pages.
The other navigation buttons also do not work, they change the page number but display only the first page.
This problem does not occur when I see Japanese reports on Japanese OS machine and English reports on English OS machine.
However my clients need the first case, Japanese reports should work on English OS machine also.
Please advise urgenly.

Hi,
I resolved the above issue by removing the call to method setProductLocale in jsp file (which was really unnecessary in code as product locale is meant to set languange for crystal report design environment ).
Actually the problem was I had set locale at two place
1. using setLocale method of ReportClientDocument object) after the initialization of report client document object
2. using setProductLocale method of CrystalReportViewer object after the initialization of Crystal Report Viewer object

Truncated (incomplete) Page-Thumbnail View (6.03)

On my Windows XP 64 machine that is running two 1920x1200 monitors via NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 with the latest drivers I am having the following problem: in both Acrobat and InDesign the page thumbnail views do not show all of the thumbnail whatever the settings or the proportions of the view. E.g., in InDesign the bottom portions of the thumbnails is not visible and the scroll bar not shown with Show Vertically on in Options and the slides on the right of the window are not shown with Show Vertically off.
This is most inconvenient as I am having to resize the window every time I want to find the missing slides.
Anyone else is seeing this and what might be the reason/remedy?
Thanks

I don't see that the behavior you describe in the ID pages panel is related to a bug in how Acrobat displays page thumbnails. I seriously doubt that the two are using any code in common, and you describe truncated thumbnails, while the referenced thread describes thumbnails as completely omitted.
If your point was that there might be a bug in ID that is causing your problem, it doesn't seem likely as it hasn't been reported here previously that I can recall, and a problem with the display of the pages panel would have generated a LOT of comment by now. Try replacing your preferences or udating the video driver.

How to get the page navigation buttons back at the bottom of the page?

After upgrading to Acrobat X I discovered that there is only one option for the page navigation buttons - at the upper left. I'm mystified as to why they put them there. Most users are right-handed. With the buttons at upper left it's awkward to reach up there, across the page, with the mouse cursor for every page turn (yeah, I know you can use the PgUp/PgDnkeyboard keys, but that requires taking your hand off the mouse every page turn).
What I really want is to be able to put a copy of these buttons back down at the bottom center of the page, which was an option in previous versions. Is there some way to get those back at the bottom?

Hi terpenoid,
Have you tried Read Mode yet ( under the View menu)? It displays a nivagation bar at the bottom of the PDF with next/previous page, zoom in/out, etc.
Hope this helps,
Dimitri
