Printable Page as .pdf

Hi,
Is there any way I can save a "Printable Page", which is in .htm format into .pdf format?
Thank you.

No such out of box functionality from OAF. You will have to put your custom code to do that.

How to Navigate to Printable Page in 'same browser'

Dear experts,
Im using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.2
I tried the following link to get Printable Page in 'same browser',but it is hard to identify the steps.
(http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/95-printable-pages-1501392.pdf)
Anyone have simple tutorial to do this work?
Thanks
Charith

Hi,
if you mean to show a printable page in the same browser window (replacing the current form) then
1. add command button
2. add af:showPrintablePageBehavior tag (drag and drop from "OPerations" tag in component palette
Thats it. See also http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/apirefs.1112/e17491/tagdoc/af_showPrintablePageBehavior.html

Printable page and showPrintablePageBehavior

Hi,
I have a page that has a short table. I added a command button to preview this page to be eventually sent to the printer by using showPrintablePageBehavior
The issue is that I would like to control how the page appears in preview/printable format. In particular, I would like to control stretching of columns of tables and possibly pagination. If i can make the printable page appear as it appears in query/insert mode, that would be fine.
The interesting thing is that controls used to control stretching columns etc. (e.g. last column stretch) do not seem to apply to the page in showPrintablePageBehavior printable mode.
I was wondering if there were certain things i can do. I have already read 33.2 Displaying a Page for Print at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/ad_output.htm#CHDIDBAB and researched this topic.
Thanks in advance.

Suppress banner / logo on Printable Page

Hi,
Is it possible to suppress banner/logo printing on the Printable Page. The page I am using is a standard oracle page but has a bespoke logo and banner and when I click on the Printable Page, the top level details are overlapped by the banner and logo.
Is there a way to push the details that appear at the top to print below the banner or is there a way to stop printing the banner and logo only on the Printable page? We are on R12.1.3 (irecruitment)
Appreciate if someone can help me please.
Many Thanks,
Praveen

Hi John
You cannot do this I'm afraid. The logo that you can set for Discoverer Plus / Viewer only displays on the screen. It does not print out. Because of the not too distant interface between Discoverer and BI Publisher (thinking 4th quarter this year) I don't see Oracle losing any sleep over adding this functionality to Discoverer. This is because you will be able to do this inside BI Publisher.
In the interim, have you considered printing from Desktop? I ask because Desktop has the ability to add a bitmap image as the background to a header. You coulod create your report in Plus then edit it in Desktop to add your logo, finally printing from Desktop.
This only works in Desktop though so even if you add an image using Desktop you still won't be able to see or use it using either Plus or Viewer.
Now one caveat to this is that Desktop cannot print directly to PDF. There's always a gotcha isn't there? However, there's a workaround for this too by using one of the myriad of third-party PDF generation tools such as Amyuni or PDF Creator.
I gave a presentation on this at the recent ODTUG conference in Daytona Beach. That presentation is available for free download from my website at this address: http://learndiscoverer.com/downloads/downloads.htm If you scroll about half way down look for a paper called AutomatedScheduling.zip. That's the one and inside you will see referenced to printing to PDF from within Desktop.
Hope this helps

Problems with Discoverer Viewer and the printable page

Hi,
I have a problem in Discoverer Viewer. I run a workbook, see the results and I click on "Printable Page". I set the page setup options to "Portait" and "100% scale". I preview the workbook in a PDF file and it's ok, I see the results in "Portait" and "100%".
I close the PDF file and I click again on the "Printable Page". This time, I set the workbook to "Landscape" and "20% scale". I preview the workbook in a PDF file and it's NOT ok, the results are still in "Portait" and "100%". And the date/time in the workbook is the time when I run the workbook the first time. So, it's seems like a browser cache problem. The problem repeats until I clear the brower cache. At that moment, the workbook will take the page setup that I set at this time. However, it will be the same workbook with the same results until I clear the cache once again.
If I save the PDF file on my Windows Desktop and I overwrite it each time, it's ok.
Can somebody help me on this??
Thank you!
Mathieu

Hi Michael,
I'm clearing the browser cache by going in Tools -> Internet Options. In the "General" tab, I click on the "Delete files..." in the "Temporary Internet Files" section" (middle of the window).
But I don't indicate that Discoverer is saving my printable page changes. I say that the first time I run a workbook, Discoverer saves it (the results) in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder in a PDF file. Each time I run the same workbook after that, Discoverer don't overwrite the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. He takes the PDF file that is already there and show it to me. So, the results are the same even if the data has changed. It does this until I clear the browser cache (it deletes the PDF file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder).
Do you understand?
Regards,
Mathieu

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

Is that possible to display the user selection data in the printable page?

Hi All,
I'm going to add a printablepage button on my page.
Here comes a questions.
Is that possible to display the user selection data in the printable page?
For example,
I have a table in the page,with 10 records.User select 5 of them.Can I display these 5 records in the printable page?
Please help.

Hi Yannick,
Thanks a lot for the information. It worked.
The portlet data can be accessible using bindings, but parameter name can be different.
Meanwhile I have got one more scenario, where the Portlet and Task Flow placed in different pages of WCP Application. On change of data in the Portlet the application should navigate to another page where the Task Flow placed and displays selected data.
Basically I can not use any button for navigation. The navigation should happen once I do some action in Portlet.
Is this possible? If yes can you please let me know the steps?
Thanks in advance!

Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery. I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update. I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs. I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely. So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6. Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background. I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner. I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer. From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual. The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers. This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
I have Windows XP Pro SP3. I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7. So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem. I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop. That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.

How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same server

We have installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro- English,Francais,Deutsch version 10.1.9 in our test environment and tried testing it for converting SAP pages into PDF with a few pilot users. In doing so we faced a challenge, where only one user at a time can use Adobe Acrobat PRO to convert SAP pages in to PDF.As long as the first user who is connected to Adobe Acrobat Pro via SAP isn’t logged off, other users connected to the same server are not being able to get the “Save As” dialog box to save the PDF in their preferred location.
This is a business requirement and we need an urgent solution for the same. Can anyone help us in telling us if this is possible and if yes the how to go about?

It's not something we deal with here, the LiveCycle products are a different world. Key points: Adobe LiveCycle is a range of products, some desktop, some server. LiveCycle PDF Generator is the one you should look at, it comes in 3 editions. License terms are by negotiation. Key management is via its Java API.

How to turn a doc designed for spread into a page ordered pdf?

I am a relative InDesign newbie, so please excuse my ignorance. I have document of installation instructions that is printed on a single double-sided piece of paper, which is then folded. So in InDesign, there are two layout spreads. The first one includes actual pages 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. The second one includes 10,11,12,13,14,15,16, and 1.
After updating this I want to create both a spread version of the pdf for a printer, plus a regular page ordered pdf for web viewing. I am not clear on how to do this.
I am using CS5.
Thank you in advance for your help.

There are two "pages". Not sure how they are referred to in InDesign, but when you look at the InDesign doc, you see two separate "pages", each one divided into 8 sections. There is also a third "page" which includes all the specs for the printer (it is in the spread version of the pdf, but is not printed and not included in the web version of the pdf).

How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.
