PDF's on the Server

HI Gentlemen,
If I deploy my application with 10gAS on a 9i Server, and send a report output out of Forms 9i via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() to "MYFILE.PDF" and want to deliver it subsequently thru WEBUTIL to the user who initiated it from his client browser, does the filename cause any collision, if multiple users generate the file simultaneously? Or are the sessions on the server also quite independent from each other?
Thanks, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

A SOAP webservice would be the best way I can think of.
Just realize that any function that attempts to connect to a remote server for any reason will prompt the user to allow the connection. There is no way around that. If they choose not to allow the connection, you will not be able to retrieve the version number.

Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:
1) the user requests a report
2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user
Thanks a lot

PrintOutputController.export, get the byte stream, save on server.

That's doing it the hard way. Why not use HTTP or FTP?

Export of PDF errors after the PDF generates on the server (File I/O error)

We have Crystal 9 reports engine, developed with VS2003, which is being called from a VS2008 web app on a 32-bit server. The reports have been working okay, unless the file is of size > 600K. Then, right after the PDF is created in the C:\Windows\Temp, the export fails to display it on the screen, throwing the following error:
Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\temp_c2e5676e-7d48-413e-9dca-fd2615f236c6.rpt: File I/O error.
at [1].[1]D(Int16   , Int32   ) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export() at commisionstatement.CommissionStatementPDF.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()
The issue is quite frustrating as it doesn't indicate what the cause of it is. It is not clear whether this is a timeout issue and what Timeout setting applies. The report objects have a default CacheTimeOut set as CachedReportConstants.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. How long is this? is there any other setting on the server that can overwrite this timeout? What does the Export method need in order to find and pull the file on time?
Note that the report generates on the server and if it's not too big, will display on the Client's browser.
Your help will be greately appreciated.
Thank you,
Sonya

Hi David,
So we were finally able to test with the increased timeout, which we set to 5 min:
<httpRuntime
            executionTimeout="300"
            maxRequestLength="4096"
            useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
            minFreeThreads="8"
            minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
            appRequestQueueLimit="100"
            enableVersionHeader="true"
        />
Unfortunately, now we started getting other errors, related to the limit of the licenses:
A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store.
According to page 8 of the article below, we should be able to purchase more such licenses free of cost:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7006fc4c-6a1e-2b10-8ea8-9019b136fa90?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Could you let us know how to proceed in order to obtain the licenses?
Thank you,

Opening a PDF residing in the server

Hi,
I have a WD application and there is pdf file placed in the same server of the client where SAP is there. I have to open that file from on click of a hyperlink from my application . Please suggest some way to do that.

Hi Ashu,
You need to make use of the interactive form UI element to display PDF in WD.
On action method of hyperlink read the file from app server using open dataset command. convert the file content into XSTRING and then pass this XSTRING to PDFSOURCE attribute of interactive form UI element.
You can place this ITF UI element on a view and navigate to that view.
Thanks,
Abhishek

**** Editing and Saving an Adobe Form on the Server ****

We are trying to achieve the following:
1. Generate 3D PDF from VRML (Done)
2. Embed the 3D PDF into a PDF Template and save it on the Server as an editable .pdf file
3. Then, the user must be able to open the Editable PDF inside a web browser such as IE.
4. The user must then enter data in some fields (Text field, drop down etc) and save it.
5. The save action must save the data in a database and importantly, the PDF itself as .pdf file on the same server location. The updated PDF file on the server location must be available for further editing and vieweing in the updated state.
Questions:
1. Do the ADOBE Livecycle APIs support such a feature?
2. Is there a code sample for the same?
3. IF we cannot save the PDF with the updated data back to the server, then is there a way by which we can dynamically associate a PDF template with the user given data, generate it and render it using Livecycle Java APIs at runtime?
Thanks
Ram

Yes. This is possible through an API. See the API Quick Start code for Forms ES at
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/programLC/help/000162.html#1548277
There are different methods of submitting data from the client (xml, http post, xml+xdp, and pdf). You can extract the data server side, insert the data to database, merge the data with a form and save the form on the server.

Send PDF form to e-mail as attachment with a PHP script on the server

Hi,
For several days I've been searching though the internet looking for a solution, a quite simple one in my opinion, but I got a little desperate not getting any result I want.
Okay. The Situation.
I have a PDF form to order sandwiches and drinks.
The PDF has serveral area's and columns where customers fill in the amount of the products they would like to order.
At a position of a field, the kitchen can almost blindly see what products a customer ordered.
Therefore, when someone fills in the form, I want to send the filled PDF by e-mail to the kitchen's e-mail adress. And important: the PDF in the kitchen's mailbox should be completely identical to the form the customer filled in.
So, I have an Order button in my form. I set the action as 'Submit a form'.
In the settings under 'Enter a URL for this link' I used just some PHP mailer script I also use on my website contact form.
IF I check 'HTML' under 'Export Format' the PHP mailer works fine. I receive an HTML e-mail listed the ordered products.
BUT
I do want the original filled PDF in my mailbox instead of an HTML e-mail.
So, for 'Export Format' I checked 'PDF The Complete Document'.
But then my PHP mailer script doesn't work anymore.
It gives errors like 'no valid e-mail adres' , etcetera etcetera.
Who has a solution?
Who has a working standard PHP script for me what just sends the kitchen an empty mail with the original PDF as attachment?!
There is no need to use any database or other more complex functionality. Just mail the filled PDF.

You can submit whole PDF format as long as you enable usage rights on the PDF.
Normally Adobe Reader users can only submit the data, XFDF, FDF, XDP, XML.
To enable usage rights on the PDF you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Std/Pro.
As for the PHP Script; it depends on your PHP web server capabilities.
The script will be slightly different, if the server uses PHP Mail or PHP PEAR.
Just attach the submission to an email and send.
If the client is submitting the form from a standalone pdf reader app, you can also respond with a success or failure FDF \status message; otherwise, you can redirect to a success / failure URL.
For more information and online examples:

How to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server?

Hi,
I want to archive billing docs in PDF format on the application server.
Formerly on our SAP system, Archivelink was set up to archive these documents to an HTTP content server. Since we no longer have this server, I want to adapt it to simply output the PDFs to a filesystem on the application server. I have tried to reconfigure the content repository (tcode OAC0) without success.
Am I on the right track?
If so, which document area, storage type, etc should I use?

Hi Slath,
from DMS point of view you may use the storage category 'DMS_C1_ST' and the content repository 'DMS_C1' as a kind of template. The document area for DMS storage categories has to be maintained as 'DMS'.
Best regards,
Christoph

View the pdf stored in content server

Hello,
Can I open a pdf available in content server from web? This web based application is non SAP aaplication.
The content server is connected to my SAP system and by using FM ALINK_RFC_DOCUMENTS_GET I get the required link. I am not sure how can I open this link from ouside SAP system( in SAP system pfd can be open using FM OBJECT_DISPLAY_CONNECTIONS).
I have also gone through the below SAP link also but no luck.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/9b/e8c18ceaf811d195580000e82deb58/frameset.htm
Thank you,
Bhavana

Hi
I'm not sure you can use this URL outside your SAP System and open it without providing any kind of security credentials.
Anyway what you could do is use ALINK_RFC_TABLE_GET to get your PDF in binary format and compose it in your Web Application
