We are currently working with Adobe on this requirement and have implemented a POC that allows you to submit a document to workflow in content DB (for example, during a check-in operation) and through a custom BPEL flow, submit to an Adobe LiveCycle server where the document gets turned into a PDF, has policy and digital signatures applied to it.
The current POC does more than just convert to PDF. it does the following to the original document:
1) Converts it to PDF
2) Inserts signature fields, so the PDF can be digitally signed later
3) Applies policy (applies E-DRM, e.g. the end user can view but not copy the text or print the PDF)
4) Certifies the document (Server applies digital certificate to signature field)
5) Reader extends the document (enables end user to digitally sign PDF and add comments with Adobe Reader)
thanks,
Matt.

How to access a PDF file from Oracle DATABASE SERVER

Hi
I have some pdf files in "\home2\docs" directory in Oracle database server 10g. (OS is Linux) I want to access those pdf files from my client system through Oracle Forms. How is it possible?
Please Help!!!! It is very urgent !!!
Expecting fast response!!!!!
Bye

hi
Thank u for ur response.
Initially i tried to access pdf file from database server. I didn't get any solution for that. So I copied all my pdf files to Application server which is in Linux environment at "/home2/docs" directory.
I gave the following command for accessing the pdf files kept in Lnux Application Server from Oracle 10g forms in a button press trigger.
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/home2/docs/test.pdf');
It says "page cannot be found"
So I copied one of the pdf file named "test.pdf" to "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" in Linux Application Server . Then the following command
web.show_document('http://192.168.1.53:7779/forms90/java/test.pdf');
has opened the the pdf file in browser.
192.168.1.53 is my Linux Application Server IP. and 7779 is the port.
Actually we have lacs of pdf files. So i cannot keep all the pdf files in "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/java" directory in Linux Application Server. And also all the pdf files not in the same directory , "/home2/docs" some of the pdf files r in the subdirectories of "/home2/docs/" like /home2/docs/sub1, /home2/docs/sub2, /home2/docs/sub3 etc.
Then how to configure my "/oracle/oas10g/IasHome/forms90/server/forms90.conf" file for retrieving pdf files from "/home2/docs/" and its subdirectories. Is Anything other than this, required for solving my problems.
Now My PDF files r in LINUX APPLICATION SERVER not in database server.
Please help!! It is VERY URGENT!!!

How to put a pdf file in Oracle portal?

I want to put a pdf file in Oracle portal. But how I do it?

Are you using Oracle Portal, or Oracle WebCenter Portal?
In Oracle Portal, you can go to edit mode (use the link or add ?_mode=16 to the url) and create a file item.
In WebCenter Portal, you need to add the content to WebCenter Content (default content repository for WebCenter Portal) and use something like the content presenter to show the content on a page.
Kind regards,
Rob

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!
Martin

PDF files in Oracle Content Services?

PDF Files in Oracle Database

First of all Hi and Thanks to All Respected Gurus of this forum for providing non-stop services to resolve problems on world-wide level.
I am using Oracle Database 11g-R1 with Oracle Application Express 4.1.
My clients (end-users) have the access to upload PDF files into database via an application built-in Oracle Application Express.
Suddenly ".dmp" size has been increased rapidly from 360 MB to 2.7 Gb and all it happened due to uploading of PDF Files.
I want to know is it alarming for Oracle Database? Because users have lot-of files to upload, so I am in doubt that will Oracle Database Services / Performance will be disturbed by increasing of database size or Oracle Database Server could be crashed?
Please confirm. Thanks in advance.
Regards: Muhammad Uzair Awan

Performance may be impacted.
Backup time would increase.
Backup space (Disk / Tape) requirements would increase.
There shouldn't be a "crash" of the database
Since you are running 11gR1, I presume that you are not running the Express Edition.

Can I store pdf in blob, and still search words in the pdfs?Probably not, no. If you want to search the data inside Oracle, you'll want to look at Oracle Multimedia.I think the correct answer is "not efficiently". :-)Well, there is nothing that prevents you from building Oracle Multimedia yourself and getting similar levels of efficiency. Other than a desire not to invest dozens of man-years replicating delivered functionality, of course.

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX

Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Thanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

particular individual, then it's protected as far as you trust that individual
anyway!
Those who are in the dba group on the server can get at the data
in any case.
I just don't see the point in trying to do what you're asking - unless
I've missed something?
BTW, you haven't mentioned OS or db version (see .sig).
Paul...
lovely sethi--
When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like OS (with version), version of Oracle being used and DDL.
Other trivia such as CPU, RAM + Disk configuration might also be useful.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!"). Thanks.
Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend time analysing and attempting to help,
please do not top post and do try to trim your replies!
