Printing screenshot of form (PJC)?

I need to print a screenshot of a form (hardcopy)
"do_key('print')!", you'll say. Can't set page to landscape in JInitiator
"Use the Sun plugin!", you'll say. Can't upgrade.
So what are the options? Is it possible to use a PJC to grab a screenshot and send it to the printer in landscape mode?

Try something around this:
      import java.awt.Rectangle;
      import java.awt.Robot;
      import java.awt.Toolkit;
      import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
      import java.io.File;
      import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
      public class screen2image
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          Robot robot = new Robot();
          BufferedImage screenShot = robot.createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
          ImageIO.write(screenShot, "JPG", new File("screenShot.jpg"));
      }Francois

Print PDF from Forms

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help. We're running Forms 10.1.2.30 against an Oracle 10.1.0.5.0 database using IE8 on Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
We generate utility bills using Oracle Reports. These work fine at the moment as we print these reports directly to the printer from Reports. However, we now need to perform some post processing to the bills so I would like to produce the bill to a PDF, perform some post processing and then send the PDFs to the printer on batch.
Does anyone have any tips on how to send the PDFs to a printer on batch? I can host it out to Acrobat using the undocumented/unsupported /t option, but I would rather not rely on third party software (especially undocumented/unsupported features).
I've found a link to the Oracle Forms PJC/BEAN - PDF Project, but I cannot download the file. Something to do with the download site been seized by the FBI!

Thanks in advance.

Hi.
What mechanism do you use now to send a PDF to printer? Do you have each printer defined on middleware (application server) or you download pdf from application server an print it localy?

Screen Print and report print in 11g Forms

Hi,
I have created a popup menu in forms 11g which has a label print screen.
When user clicks on it, it is supposed to bring up the list of printers that user has on his PC, so that they can choose the printer where they want to print to.
Do I need to use webutil for it? or is there any other way?.
Thanks
Munish

If you plan on printing from the client your only options are to use WebUtil or write your own java bean.
That said, if you are generating the labels using Reports, why not generate to a pdf file? If you coded your form properly, the pdf will open on the client side in something like Acrobat Viewer. If they want to print it they can click on the "Print" button in PDF viewer.
If you really want to make it complicated and present a list of printers and allow them to pick one then send the job to the printer, this will take some effort. Here are some starter tips assuming the client will always be Windows based:
You can get the current default printer like this:
-- More registry info for printing can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102966
Declare
 rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
 rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
 rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
 rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
 message (rtn_defaultPrinter); -- This is the name of the default printer
End;Some printer properties and preferences can be called with something like this:
-- More details here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q189105/
Declare
 my_cmd varchar2(255);
 rtn_Registry varchar2(255);
 rtn_defaultPrinter varchar2(255);
Begin
-- Get default printer
 rtn_Registry := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device');
 rtn_defaultPrinter := substr(rtn_Registry,1,instr(rtn_Registry,',',1)-1);
 -- Printer default preferences
 my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /e /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 -- Printer properties
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /p /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 -- Printer queue
-- my_cmd := 'rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /o /n "'|| rtn_defaultPrinter ||'"';
 If rtn_defaultPrinter IS NULL Then
 Message('Default printer not detected.');
 Message('Default printer not detected.');
 RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
 End if;
 SYNCHRONIZE;
 CLIENT_HOST(my_cmd);
End;The complete list of installed printers can be found in the Registry here:
<blockquote>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers</blockquote>
Take a look at this java bean example used to help print to the local printer from Forms.

How do I print a interactive form out? It allows printing and filling.

Hi, I'm trying to print out an interactive form that I filled out and then saved on my hard drive. The author allows printing and filling out of the PDF when it was created. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06) installed along with the current drivers for my compatible printer. Within the same PDF the first sheet "instruction sheed" is an all text flat form, which prints just fine. The problem lies when I try to print other sections of the PDF, When I try to print it all I get is the header and a footer that the author created, but all the spaces where questions/ text and my fill in answers don't show up on the print preview image or when the printed sheet comes out of my printer.
I have tried to print as an image without success. I don't think its an author issuse because it was released out of a California Department for several houndred/thousands of others. Please if you have any ideas or questions i look forward to any advice.

Sorry I forgot to add that the PDF is devided by a "Chapter" style cover face that devided multiple sets of forms in to categories. At the bottome of these categories is a "Print whole document" which can only be clicked once the whole thing has been filled out. Do to some information over lap some dates don't follow the (time line order) it requirest to fill in the data so two of the categories show up as incomplete. Take a look at the document yourself, maybe I NEED to rewrite the information and see if that works.
*Edit* Looks like I CAN print a blank form at the begining when it asked me if i want a blank form, will try to rearange dates so it will show as all COMPLET.
PDF file can be found at the California government website:

How to create a Printer List in Forms 4.5

How can I create a Printer list on Forms 4.5 to show all
available printers?
Thanks.
null

I fear there is no direct solution.
May be this is a work-around:
1. Apply the older built-in: Display_item. You can't disable the item with display_item, but you can change the visual attribute and show the user that this item should not be checked.
2. To be shure that the user doesn't ignore this "disable", you need a trigger, which resets the item to the proper value after an illegal change.

Printer selection in Forms 10g

Hello,
I am looking for a suggestion, to realize a printer selection in Forms 10g.
For a migration I have to replace the command
win_api_dialog.select_printer with something similar.
Some threads suggest to implement a java class.
Under
How i select printer in Forms9i
exist an example.
The implementation there is based on the JDK 1.4.
I need an implementation based on JDK 1.3.
Inside of the JDK 1.3 exist only a simple printer dialog.
(compare http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4645377 )
Probably exist the option to use the C-API of WebUtil. The C-API could be used to start a printer dialog of a dll. I like to avoid this option, but if you an example for that option, I appreciate to see an example for that.
In all other respects, I hope on your suggestions.

I invest some more time on that topic, but did not found a solution to display a printer selection on the client.
The only thing that i found in forum was that you can read the standard printer out the registry. But I would need all local installed printers.
I hope on your help.

I am trying to print a fillable form - - an application for a Chinese visa. It will not print and I get two error messages: "document could not be printed" and "there were no pages selected to print." The latter is not true. Won't print at all, the page I am on, nor any series of pages inserted.

Printing Reports directly from to a printer via 10g forms (Linux)

Hi all,
I need to be able to print Reports directly from a form to a printer (bypassing the form output) on Linux (RHEL 5). The trick here is this is Linux, not windows so, wasn't sure how to deal with printers in this case.
I have the option working where I can run a report and set the options to "Cache" and PDF and it displays my outputted report directly in a new browser window w.
I use the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT properly for the PDF in a window.
a.) I want to send them directly to a printer, preferably to a user's default printer on their PC, bypassing the output screen. How can I accomplish this?
b.) I also would like the ability to generate a PDF (bypassing the output on a browser window) and put the form in a specified directory on a client's PC (which is what I used in 6i Client/Server). I believe I need to utilitize the WebUtil to allow this to happen. Otherwise, I'm thinking I just build a queue for the user on the Linux server and build a screen that shows all the reports they've generated for the past X amount of days and let them open them up and print from there.
Any help (particulary for Part A) would be very beneficial.
Chris

1)
if your app server is on a Linux server, for direct printing to work, the printer must be setup and accessible under Linux server using system-config-printer command, for PDF printout you probably want a postscript option checked
if you print to screen (PDF) and then use print option then your windows client machine must have access to the printer
2)
you must pass this printer name as part of the report parameters.
set_report_object_property(oRptObj, report_destype, Printer);
and
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&report='|| cRptSrcFile; -- source of report program to call
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&destype='|| cDesType;
hope this helps

Hi
Check if Note 353518 - Selection of outputs takes much time and Note 910976 - Selection of output from billing (VF31) are relevants.
Other suggestion. Do a trace with ST05 and check if you have any bottleneck in the coding that you can have in your Smartform or in your SAPscript, so check in tcode V/40 what form you are using . Also see Note 185530 - Performance: Customer developments in SD.
I hope this helps you

How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms )

hi,
How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms ) if trying to take second Print Out and the FORM is already Printed.

Hi
It depends on which print you're working.
If it's a print of standard document you can check the NAST (VSTAT field) table in order to know if the document was printed.
If a message is created you can find the hit in NAST table:
VSTAT = 0, document not printed;
VSTAT = 1, documment printed
VSTAT = 2, print is failed
If you mean a custom print I believe you need to create a log like NAST table.

I can't print my PDF form after it is filled out. Only the form prints not the text that I put in

I can't print my PDF form after filling it out. Only the form prints and not the text I put in.

That's a limitation of Apple's AirPrint framework that Adobe Reader depends on. We are considering an alternate solution that may resolve this issue though.
Thanks for your feedback.

Can I print a PDF form that has fields that have been overfilled?

The form is set up as an evaluation and the field has been filled out past the viewable area so it turns into a scrollable field. I'd like to print so all of the text prints from each form field.

Not directly.
You could use the "Compile returned forms" to put the form data into Excel.
Or you could export the form to an FDF and them make a version of your form with larger field sizes and import the FDF.
