Printing with FOP within BC4J

Hello,
does anyone get a FOP integration to work within a BC4J application (Jdev 9.0.3)?
My issue:
When starting my PrintProcess class from a stand-alone class(static void main) everything works fine (incl. creation of a PDF document).
The same method called within my BC4J application causes
a nullpointer-Exception while transforming the same XML.
I double-checked the sort order of my selected libraries, but with no success.
Here is the stack trace:

Does JDeveloper use a different XML parser when running the application on the embedded OC4J server?
How can I set-up the embedded server to use the required XML parsers from XALAN (if this is the error) instead of this from Oracle?
I appreciate every tip,
Stefan

Hello All, we are developing an application to list in PDF format the contents of a data base. We are using FOP and it works perfectly with a TomCat server in a PC, but when running it in BC4J it gives an almost identical error you guys describe in your mails. But we get an additional one . See below :

I guess the second error should be solved changing the system parameter to set xerces as the XML parser, but what about the error
XSL-1110: (Fatal Error) Invalid StreamResult set in TransformerHandler.
Has anyone got this eror in a BC4J ? Could anyone please help us ?
thanks

I have deployed fop.war with apache tomcat. When i reduce the select, it will work.
After searching against this error i found that the length should be lower than 32k.
So i have tested my select with this above and the regular length is 7154.
So, what reason throws this error ?
Any ideas ?
Thanks for help.

no not yet with Application Server.
I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
If i call the url adresse like:
http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
i get:
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
I installed it another time with these settings:
Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
Anwendungsname= fop
URL zuordnen= /fop
I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?

PDF Printing with FOP/Apache Tomcat/J4LFOPServer in windows

Hi everyone,
I have been learning to create pdf report with Apex 4.2 and BI Publisher 10 which I have been successful with. Now I like to learn how to create pdf reports using FOP thinking of the customers who will not spend money on BI Publisher. I have gone through the documents and procedures described in Java 4 Less. http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php and http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php?info=apex. Configured Apex instance setting accordingly.
For default layout a tabular pdf report is created.
I have created an xsl-fo file named Formatted_report.fo on same query and xml file from report query with BI Desktop. But when I try to print a formatted output with Formatted_report.fo report layout it does not work(J4LFOPServer ). but same layout with .rtf template works fine (BI Publisher Print Server).
Please help

hi,
if you use the J4lFOPServer as you write, you can set it in debug mode as described here:
http://www.java4less.com/apache/fop.php?info=faq#debug
you will then see the XML data and the FO data in the server window. Maybe you can see there if there is an error and that can help you fixing it.

Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex FOP.WAR

Apex with XE10g/Tomcat 6.0.13 PDF Print with Apex fop.war/apex_fop.jsp
Hello,
Excuse me bad english.
I have a problem with Oracle XE and Printing from Reports over Tomcat 6.0.13.
I have update Oracle XE with Apex 3.1 and it works fine.
Now i have tried to Print a report to PDF. So i have deployed the FOP.WAR from Apex Utilities under Tomcat.
I see in Tomcat Manager http://localhost:8888/manager/html/list that the FOO
has been deployed and is running.
If i try to print then i get this Message down to this page.
Can anybody give me a hint to solve this problem???
Hint
To resolve the problem i have installed Oracle OC4J with same Port and deployed
the same foo.war file.
Then works and all printing from Oracle Apex work fine and okay.
So i thing the Apex and Oracle work correct.
But we have a small Application so i would prefer to work with Tomcat a application Server.
Becaus of previous Errors have copied some *.jar files to C:\tomcat6.0.13\lib
but i thing this is not the Problem.

Need instruction on how to print with HP Officejet 6210

this is with a powerbook G4 1.5, OS 10.4.5, and an HP Officejet 6210 with newest drivers (released 8/06).
I've used an HP PSC950 for years, connected to my AEBS with USB, using Felix's instructions for setting up the foomatic/hpijs driver, always worked great. Once in a while it would go out on me, rarely, and i'd reinstall the driver and it would work again.
Several months ago, i was trying to print something on Mapquest and i gave too many commands at once and the system got confused and ever since then, it won't print wirelessly, reinstalling the driver didnt' help.
Also, i'm not sure i'm adapting Felix's instructions to the new OS which doesn't exactly match the instructions.
Anyway, haven't had wireless printing in months. Finally tonight, i went out and got a new printer, the HP Officejet 6210, first checking and finding it on the compatability list, both Felix's list and HP's list.
I set it up, it works fine with direct computer/printer USB connection.
I just don't know how to set up the Mac to print with the 6210. I have the 6210 connected to the AEBS with USB cable. I dont know what else to do.
I went to an HP page where it gives step by step instructions for USB to Airport instructions.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00592751&produc t=421991&dlc=en&lang=en
Step one and two are OK. Step 3 says:
"Turn on the printer and verify that the wireless mode is enabled. If you need more information on how to enable the wireless mode, see the User Manual which shipped with the printer."
I have no clue about how to verify that the wireless mode is enabled. In the index of the 6210 User Manual there is not a word about 'wireless.' The word 'network' isn't in there either. Under 'Connection' it doesn't mention anything about wireless printing. So i'm not really able to do this step.
I tried to do the other steps but if they are talking about the Airport pull down menu in Step 4, there is no printer listed there. I tried to follow step 5 but it leads nowhere.
Is there some way to set up the Mac the way i set it up for the foomatic/hpijs driver for the PSC 950, so that i can select 10.0.1.1 in the printer menu and print? I tried going into the set up utility and chose Add and chose internet IPP printing and wanted to choose the HP 6210 driver but it wasn't available. There was an HP 6200 series foomatic/hpijs driver--what does that mean? Am i supposed to use that? I chose that and tried to print from 10.0.1.1 but in Print Jobs it just says "10.0.1.1 is busy, will retry in 30 seconds." In other words, it doesn't work. This is what happened when i tried to get the PSC 950 working again too.
Anyway, the HP instructions don't have anything to do with any of this. They just say to make sure the wireless mode is on and then go to Safari and choose Bonjour and various other things that when i try them, they aren't available as choices.
I know that someone on these forums was able to use Bonjour to print with their laptop so it must be possible (with Windows however).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1494092&#1494092
Plus HP says they tested the connection with Mac OS and it works. So it must just be a matter of some knowledge i am lacking that would get it working.
If the printer won't work, i have to return it within 14 days so I need to get on it and try to determine if it will work.
Could there be a problem with my AEBS, which would explain why i was never able to get my PSC950 to print wirelessly again after that crash on Mapquest?
Do i need to reinstall the OS?
I seriously don't think this printer has a wireless mode, otherwise it would be mentioned in the manual. I ran through the menu, tools and preferences (on the printer)--nothing about wireless mode. But why should it need a wireless mode if it's connected by USB cable to the AEBS? Isn't this just a matter of setting up the Mac software to print with Airport?

i have duplicate posts because when i tried to post the comments on 'question answered', i got a red error message saying i had violated no posting within 30 seconds of the last post. I carefully counted out 30 seconds and then waited some more, but i got the same error when i tried to post it again. so then i clicked on the Reload or Refresh browser button, "are you sure you want to send this page again?" yes. then i tried sending the answer comments again and it posted, a long with two duplicates.
What ever happened to the Edit and Delete post buttons that used to be available on this site, for a short time after posting?

Using a Zebra LP-2844 Printer with Paypal/eBay?

As we are trying to streamline our online business, we purchased a label printer with thermal cabiblities to save on ink. Little did we know that it would be a gigantic nightmare. Our first expeirence was with a Brother printer, which turned out to be not compatible with eBay. Decided with the Zebra after reading some great reviews, and it turns out it isn't natively supported by Zebra either. However, I have read of people that are using it successfully.
To install it, I just plugged it in and used the Native Zebra EPL2 drivers that are included with Mavericks OS.
However, now that I'm trying to actually print something with Paypal, I can't get the labels to print correctly. It won't all fit on one label, even if I change the setting to equal the label size of 4 x 6.
I did some research about CUPS, but am unsure if I'm supposed to use it to install ADDITIONAL drivers, or if it's just a way to tweak settings that aren't available in system preferences. I changed the default setting to 4 x 6 within CUPS, but it still doesn't fit on the labels in Paypal.
I've spent days now trying to get printing set up more efficently, and cannot figure this out. It is a huge nightmare.
Any suggestions (is there ANY native supported thermal printer that works with eBay paypal?), should I use Endicia, is that a better option? Should I try installing additional drivers, if so from where? I'm just stumped at this point and in a little over my head.

You might have to partition your drive on your MAC and add Windows OS as a second operating system, then add Google Chrome to Windows. I beleive you have to reboot to go between the two OS's.

My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with. It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time. I have many hundreds of apps. One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen. I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry. The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together. You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll. You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad. Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

File name to print with your image (PS3)

Hi,
I'm working on about 20ish photoshop images that have a specific name to match up to a diagram, so when I print them I need the file name lable to appear on the print with it. Additionally when I send them off to clients, I need to have that file name lable visable on the pg of the pdf while looking at the image so they know which one is which. The collected multi pg pdf needs to be under 3megs (5 mgs max) so it is easily emailable.
I'm trying to find an automated or an easier way to do this than what I am doing one by one now. I tried to set up a PS action which I would batch to all open files but, becuase of the two step print dialogue it gives me an error saying all the settings weren't recorded, thus it doesn't work.
What I'm doing now:
1. Cmd+P to print, in the print dialogue under the "output" drop down I have "Labels" checked
2. Hit print, then my printer driver dialogue box pops up, then in the lower left corner I click the button "PDF" and "Save as a PDF" (This produces an acceptable quality pdf at a sm size)
3. I'm able to save it by the file name with .pdf extension and specify the folder to save it into.
4. Repeat 20ish times for each file
5. In Acrobat create a pdf out of multiple files
6. Then make a print of all of them together for myself
7. Email to client
Can anyone help me figure out a way to stream line this procedure, there must be a way, this is way to time consuming?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Dave but that is a very restricting way of doing this. Anyway I have worked it out.
Get script "AddFilename20pt.jsx" from http://www.jkost.com/photoshop.html
Place script in scripts folder in SC5
restart PS
Use script within an action to size and place the file name where you want over the image. Bevel emboss, drop shadow do what you want with it.
It is found under > File > Scripts > AddFilename20t
Done.

Apex 4.2.2 PDF Printing with Apex 2.0 Listener

We recently installed Apex 4.2 with the Apex 2.0 Listener and can successfully print interactive reports and classic reports to PDF. I viewed Mark Sewtz PDF Printing with Apex 4.2.2 and saw how he is using third party tools to format reports. We have also looked into the Jasper Report Integration Toolkit, but have only got it working on the Tomcat environment, not WebLogic.
I'm trying to download a classic report in PDF format with our logo displayed at the header. In the print attributes section, there is a section for header. I've tried adding the following in the header section:
<img src = "http://hr.unm.edu/common/images/unm_dept_logo.gif">
No Logo Prints
#APP_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header:
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?
p_security_group_id=3930016164431413%26p_flow_id=106%26p_fname=unm_dept_logo.gif
#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#unm_dept_logo.gif
Prints in header: /i/unm_dept_logo.gif
I've also added the logo in the report region, prior to the columns printing, but no logo downloads to PDF.
Does the Apex Listener only render text? Is there any way to get the logo to print in the header without using a third party tool? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
There are different options to include images in your PDF exports. What's important to understand though is that with the PDF export functionality we separate the formatting from the actual data. So the formatting is defined in your RTF or XSL-FO templates and the data is stored in the XML that APEX generates based on your report data. We have several formatting options exposed on the print attributes pages, i.e. you can define page formatting, dimensions, fonts, colors, etc - all of these are applied to what we call generic XSL-FO templates. Those templates are generic in that they can be used with different reports, having variable numbers of columns and variable column names. Those formatting attributes can not be used however with named column templates, such as those that you generate with BI Publisher or those third-party tools I talked about in my Blog.
So if you want to use these formatting options, you need a generic report layout - which you get out of the box using the built-in layout. But you also have the option to create your own generic report layout (see Shared Components -> Report Layouts). When creating a custom generic report layout, you'll get a copy of the built-in layout as a starting point. Once created, you can manually modify this layout to meet your needs. As you edit this template, you'll find a number of #....# substitution strings. This is what APEX uses at runtime to fill in your formatting values as well as to assemble your generic layout based on your result set.
Now one way to include your own image would be to add an image reference to this generic report layout. You can't use the page header or footer attributes on the print attributes page for that because the FOP rendering engine does not understand or translate HTML. It renders XSL-FO. So to add your own image reference, you need to use XSL-FO mark-up. If you want to add an image to your page header, look for the #PAGE_HEADER# substitution string in the "Page Template" attribute of your generic report layout. You should be able to find the following:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Now assuming you have a file stored in your local images directory on localhost, you could add the following external graphic reference:
<fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">
    <fo:external-graphic src="http://localhost:8080/i/cloud.gif" content-height="scale-to-fit" height="30px" content-width="150px" scaling="non-uniform"/>
    #PAGE_HEADER#
</fo:inline>
Once you're done with your chanages, save the report layout and edit your report. Go to the print attributes and select your generic report layout and then run your report page and export the PDF. Provided the APEX Listener is able to find this external image reference, it will now be included above your report in your PDF document.

Marc

Printing with presets

Hello Community,
i want to print from AI through a script. No problem so far, but always the windows standard printer is used. But i want to use another printer for some printings, or use other presets. There are several named printer presets defined in my AI, "Standard", "OKI_C_9500", "OKI_C_9650" and so on.
After a search i found a solution to print with presets from Indesign, but not from Illustrator. In AI are no aceesible "PrinterPresets" like in Indesign.
So how i can print with named presets from AI? Other solution could be just to change the active printer within the script for the actual printing.
Best regards
Torsten

Hi,
yes this is it. After i changed my Computer i lost the PDF "illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript". And in the "ExtendScript Toolkit" Folder it is just "JavaScript Tools Guide CS4" and "Adobe Intro to Scripting.
Now i found the PDF´s again :-)
Thanks a lot
Torsten

MG5350 and Greyscale printing with black.

Hello, I have a Pixma MG5350 and am wondering if there is a way I can print in greyscale using only the black ink?
Like alot of pritners I have had before when I select the "greyscale" option and print it converys all the colors on the page into shades of gret but it still uses all the color cartridges to print those shades.
I know printing with only black will be of a lower quality but i'm not converned with that, and in alot of the pages I actually find using the colors to print the greys annoying as i'm reading this B&W document but i'm seeing these cyan and magent specs all over the place where it's trying to print a light color instead of just black specs.
This is quite annoying as I only print B&W text documents with the occassional B&W graphic in them yet i'm having to constanlty waste money replacing the color cartirdges.
I know it will use some of the ink when the printer comes on and cleans the heads etc but i'm almost replacing the color cartirdges as often as the black one which is just rediculous.
Some printers I have used have a "black only" option you can check that will not use the color however I see no option for that in the settings. Is there some way that I can print in greyscale without having to waste color ink?

SAPF150D-Dunning Notice Print - With Update of Line Items and Master Record

When I am running this program SAPF150D(Dunning Notice Print - With Update of Line Items and Master Records) with a variant containing run date, runc id, update mode, pimmed & pcount; the job is failing to execute. It is giving message like,
"The field symbol is no longer assigned because there was an attempt makde previously in a Unicode program to set the field symbol using ASSIGN with offset and/or length specification. Here, the memory addressed by the offset/length specification was not within the allowed area."
"GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED_RANGE" "SAPF150D" or "F150DFS0" "SORTFELDER_ERMITTELN"

Hi,
Search for routine FORM SORTFELDER_ERMITTELN
in SAPF150D.
Put a breakpoint in statement
ASSIGN (T047F-FELDN) TO <H1>.
in above routine and debug to the point where error is occuring.
Most likely there is a mismatch in the length assigned to some field FELDN in table T047F.
In that case, simply change the T047F-LENGT field accordingly in change mode.
Cheers,
Vikram

Problems with FOP

Hello everybody,
I have some problems with FOP...
I want to create pdf outputs and I want to use FOP to convert reports into pdf`s.
The documentation says that you have to install OC4J, but I can`t find the directorys to unzip the FOP files!
I installed the OC4J standalone version...
It is wrong?
What should I install? J2EE?
Sorry, but I am new at this topic...
I hope you would help me!
Thanks,
Tim

Kevin,
quote from the FOP homepage ( http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ ):
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and the world's first output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is basically a mechanism to transform an XML stream of data (e.g. the pure data of a page rendered using HTML DB) into an arbitrary output format, i.e. PDF.
