PDF in HTML Region

Hello,
How do I take a page that consists of 100 text items and make it into a PDF report. Ideally, I would like to create several of these pages and make them into one PDF report.
Thank you!

Use apex_util.get_blob_file_src in HTML region as a source of a PDF file

Hello,
How to make apex_util.get_blob_file_src servers as a src attribute of HTML Tag in an HTML region source ??

Please see the example here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#CHDICGDA.
THEN '<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P4_DOCUMENT',id)||'" />' The API gets called in a PL/SQL block, not embedded into a HTML tag.

Display word/pdf document in the HTML region or report

Hi,
How to display blob content stored in a table in HTML region or report region.
I already have a process to display the image content.
But my question here is how to display word/pdf document within the html region so that the user can read the document without downloading it.
Any suggestions/solutions would be of great help.
Thanks in advance...
Thanks,
Ramesh P.

I was dead wrong.
The display of images from BLOB is a special case because APEX provides a Display Image item type.
Moreover, HTP/HTF packages also do not provide for handling of BLOB content. So AJAX cannot be used.
Which implies that the only way to get binary content, other than images, is with the use of a WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE call.
This in turn implies that it may not be feasible to "inject" the BLOB into an exist HTML DOM in the Browser.

Embed PDF file in HTML region

Hi There
I have a simple report - with a link to view an underlying document. The document will be displayed on a seperate page with one HTML region. Say the file to display is statement.pdf and it is has already been uploaded to apex images. There is a hidden field P3_FILENAME on the display page. This gets set from the report. On the HTML region:
<div style="">
<embed height="600" width="1200" name="Statement" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&P3_FILENAME." type="application/pdf" />
</div>but it does not work. However, if I simply do this and 'run' the page - it displays fine.
<div style="">
<embed height="600" width="1200" name="Statement" src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#statement.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
</div>Looking at the source of the resultant failing page I can see that the values were correctly set.
Any ideas?
thanks
P

I think the HTML is looking for the explicit &P3_FILENAME. and can't find it because it is being referenced through the HTML rendering engine rather than the PL/SQL engine which would handle the variable substitution.
Try creating a PL/SQL region where you write out the div tags as strings using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. I use this to create some rather complicated reports and it works great for letting me do variable substitution amongst my HTML. Here's a simple example (mine's a procedure I call to feed in page variables):
create or replace PROCEDURE PROC_DASH_SAFETY(x_org NUMBER, x_dt DATE)

Use a static file as HTML region source

Hi All,
Sorry for maybe trivial question, but is there a way to use static files as HTML region source? The files are simple enough but have to be translated so we'd rather keep them as static files, rather than paste them in multiple region sources to display conditionally.
I tried something like
<embed src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE.file01.txt" >
This however is showing the HTML source on screen and not rendering it as html.
The other option I tried is creating an URL region that would get the content from the same server, e.g.:
http://localhost:9080/apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=4874627831984398&p_fname=en_file01.txt
... but I'm running against an access control list (ACL) error. The file opens when one loads the link directly in a browser but localhost apparently is not allowed in ACL and I would not have sysdba access where I deploy.
finally I saw recommendation to use an iframe in a similar discussion to display pdf file here Display PDF in Apex Region land tried
<iframe src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE.file01.txt&embedded=true" style="" ></iframe>
but receive "Not found
The requested URL /apex/wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file was not found on this server" as if the file name is not received at all? Same name is parsed correctly in the embed tag.
Please help

Just so you know, and for future reference, the shortcuts of type Message are fully translatable (as mentioned in the documentation Jari pointed out to you).

HEADER AND FOOTER IN HTML REGION

I want to create a repeatable HTML Header (not an ApEx region Header) for a HTML region as described in
http://www.html4newbies.com/header_footer_tip.php
I want to include the header at different points in my HTML region
It says that you need to save the Header in an external file and then reference it using the line

Can you do this in ApEx? I've uploaded the file with the header code into ApEx but how do I reference it? I've tried

but it doesn't recognize it.
Or is there a better way to do it?
regards
Paul P

Can a shortcut be plugged in the middle of report output?
The problem I'm grappling with is the page setup for a report prior to printing.
If I use a template, the header will still appear only once if the report is large and pagination is turned off.
Is the only way to define a "page" in ApEx through Pagination?
If I have a report with no pagination set and the number of rows set to, say 10000 and I want to print off the report, how would I place a page header or footer every 66 lines (i.e. simulating portrait on A4)?
Am I using the wrong application for this?

PDF or HTML for mobile Technical Documentation and Newsletters

Hi,
I've been reviewing the pros and cons for PDF and HTML for mobile technical documentation and newsletters and wanted to get your honest thoughts on this.
Here's the scenario:
I need to create mobile technical documenation and newsletters that are interactive, i.e. video, commenting/annotating, links, forms, etc.
Given how the mobile publishing market is rapidly evolving, what is the most practical format, (with minimum format issues) to use for both short term and long term? PDF or HTML? Why?
Based on your choice, which format would you use for non-interactive documents that offers the most creative options and usability? Why?
Paul

Hyper Text Markup Language ( HTML ) is going to work better. Mainly because the way mobile is setup, the interface has to conform to the device and with the other elements coded into the interface, HTML is far better. You keep referring to usability, so even in non-interactive scenarios in mobile documentation, you're better off using HTML.

A working method to load local PDF and HTML files on iOS

I had a lot of trouble getting this to work, and I'm hoping this post saves someone time. Some of the information that's been posted in other locations is either wrong, incomplete, or might only work on Android. By the time you read this message the information here may no longer be accurate, so here's the testing environment:
Window 7
Flash CS 5.5.0
AIR 2.7.0.19530, which was compiled on June 28, 2011
iPad 1, version 4.3.5 of iOS
Let's get started.
On iOS, you load external PDF and HTML files using the StageWebView class.
On Windows, StageWebView works but the HTMLLoader class is a better choice if you're creating a desktop app.
You can also load HTML files by reading in the file's text. The information in this post is only for loading external HTML files.
StageWebView will not load a file that's in File.applicationDirectory. All files bundled in your app are placed in File.applicationDirectory, which means you'll have to copy any external file you wish to load with StageWebView to another directory.
So where can you copy your file? File.applicationStorageDirectory won't work. File.documentsDirectory does work.
Several people have recommended copying to a temporary file using File.createTempFile(). This works, but there's a catch: it seems that, like Windows, StageWebView relies on a file's extension when determining how to load it. When you create a temporary file on iOS using File.createTempFile(), the file will have no extension (and on Windows, File.createTempFile() creates a file with the extension .tmp, which is equally problematic).
The solution to the file extension problem is to rename the temporary file by appending the original file's extension. AIR currently does not have a <file>.rename() function, so you'll have to do it using <tempFile>.moveTo().
Here's some code I've successfully tested several times on both iOS and Windows. The file is copied to the temp directory. The file's extension is restored by just slapping the original file name to the end of the temp file.
        private function loadExternalFile():void
            var webView = new StageWebView();
            webView.stage = this.stage;
            webView.viewPort = new Rectangle( 0, 0, 1024, 555 );
            // Works with either html or pdf files.
            // These are stored in the root of the application directory.
            var fileName:String = "euei.pdf";
            //var fileName:String = "euei.htm";
            var sourceFile = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath( fileName );
            var workingFile = File.createTempFile();
            try
                sourceFile.copyTo( workingFile, true );
                // You have to rename the temp file
                var renamedTempFile:File = workingFile.resolvePath(workingFile.nativePath + fileName);
                workingFile.moveTo(renamedTempFile, true);
                webView.loadURL( renamedTempFile.url );
            catch (err:Error) { }

I tried this with Flash CS5.5 and AIR 4.0 SDK. Any pdf loaded simply fills the viewPort with black. Also tested with a png version of the pdf and that displayed just fine.
What's the purpose of copying to a temp work file? I found that webView.loadURL( sourceFile.url ); gave me the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How to read text from PDF and HTML

I have got solution to read text form .txt file but did'nt get code for PDF and HTML.
I dont want to convert PDF to txt.
Please help me ...

reading from a file is always the same. using the same strategy used for a .txt will allow you to read a .pdf file.
Offcourse in itself it will be useless becuase pdf files have a special internal structure.
html files are identical to txt files.
What are you trying to accomplisch with the files you are reading ?

I am in the process of expanding a database of chemistry journal articles. These materials are ideally acquired in two formats when both are available-- PDF and HTML. To oversimplify, PDFs are for the user to read, and derivatives of the HTML versions are for the computer to read. Both formats are, of course, readily recognized and indexed by Spotlight. Journal articles have two essential components with regards to a database: the topical content of the article itself, and the cited references to other scientific literature. While a PDF merely lists these references, the HTML version has, in addition, links to the cited items. Each link URL contains the digital object identifier (doi) for the item it points to. A doi is a unique string that points to one and only one object, and can be quite useful if rendered in a manner that enables indexing by Spotlight. Embedded URL's are, of course, ignored by Spotlight. As a result, HTML-formatted articles must be processed so that URL's are openly displayed as readable text before Spotlight will recognize them. Conversion to DOC format using MS Word, followed by conversion to RTF using Text Edit accomplishes this, but is quite labor intensive.
In the last few months, I have added about 3,500 articles to this collection, which means that any procedure for rendering URL's must be automated and able to process large batches of documents with minimal user oversight. This procedure needs to generate a separate file for each HTML document processed. Trials using Automator's "Get Specified Finder Items" and "Get Selected Finder Items", as well as "Ask For Finder Items" (along with "Get URLs From Web Pages") give unsatisfactory results. When provided with multiple input documents, these three commands generate output in which the URLs from multiple input items are merged into a single block, which yields a single file using "Create New Word Document" as the subsequent step. A one-to-one, input file to output file result can be obtained by processing one file at a time, but this requires manual selection of each item and one-at-a-time processing. What I need is a command that accepts multiple input documents, but processes them one at a time, generating a separate output for each file processed. Is there a way for Automator to do this?

Hi,
With the project all done, i'm preparing for the presentation. Managed to get my hands on a HD beamer for the night (Epason TW2000) and planning to do the presentation in HD.
That of course managed to bring up some problems. I posted a thread which i'll repost here . Sorry for the repost, i normally do not intend to do this, but since this thread is actually about the same thing, i'd like to ask the same question to you. The end version is in AfterEffects, but that actually doesn't alter the question. It's about export:
"I want to export my AE project of approx 30 min containing several HD files to a Blu Ray disc. The end goal is to project the video in HD quality using the Epson EMP-TW2000 projector. This projector is HD compatible.
To project the video I need to connect the beamer to a computer capable of playing a heavy HD file (1), OR burn the project to a BRD (2) and play it using a BRplayer.
I prefer option 2, so my question is: which would be the preferred export preset?
Project specs:
                    - 1920x1080 sq pix (16:9)
                    - 25 fps
                    - my imported video files (Prem.Pro sequences) are also 25 fps and are Progressive (!)
To export to a BRD compatible format, do i not encounter a big problem: my projectfiles are 25 fps and progressive, and I believe that the only Bluray preset dispaying 1920x1080 with 25 fps requests an INTERLACED video (I viewed the presets found on this forum, this thread)... There is also a Progr. format, BUT then you need 30 fps (29,...).
So, is there one dimension that can be changed without changing the content of the video, and if yes which one (either the interlacing or the fps).
I'm not very familiar with the whole Blu-ray thing, I hope that someone can help me out."
Please give it a look.
Thanks,
Jef

Generate pdf and html(urgent)

can anybody tell how to generate pdf and html from a single report,
thanks in adv

From a single report, you can generate outputs to html, htmlcss, pdf, rtf, XML and text formats.
If you use rwclient, rwrun or rwservlet methods, specify desformat=pdf/html and the destination file name in desname command line parameters.
If you use Reports Builder, open a report, select File->Generate to file and select html/pdf. Then give the file name.
For more details, Refer to Reports Tutorial / Publishing Reports document from this site.

Hi Guus,
We are not using the new authorizations we are still on 3.5 authorization and we tried for an user with SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW authorization , so i am not sure if this is an authorization problem.
We have a new issue on hand, initially i was able to broadcast thru xml,mhtml, xml formats, yesterday our portal was down, when the portal was brought up, i found that even the ones that were working were now throwing an error.
I spoke with the basis person, and he told me user mappings were lost, but even after restoring the user mapping were restored we still have the problem.
If this error is caused by lack of new authorization, atleast we know what we are dealing with, but for now iam not sure if this error is due to authorization or some settings on the web server side.

In the HTML Region just put

or if you associated the image with the application
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#DMD.gif">
