Publishing pdf in Portal

I have defined File System Repository (there are pdf files), how can I publish them in portal??

Hi Damian,
1. You can create a Navigation iView (to display all documents under a folder) or a Document iView to display a particular document.
2. Specify the "Path" in the iView properties
3. Add it to a Page/Workset/Role.
You are done..

Published pdf form is unable to connect with database

Hi Guys!
I have created a PDF form using Adobe Live Cycle Designer which have some text fields namely RECORD and NAME. I have connected this form with a Database. When I enter a record in the RECORD number field the NAME field of this form has been populated with the help of XFA Script which is written on the exit event of the RECORD text field. When we publish this form, a new interactive PDF is created which works fine and populates the NAME field from the an SQL database but when I access this PDF form (which is located on a shared location) from some another location (not on the same machine where i designed this form) it is unable to connect to the database and does not work as expected.
I think there is some thing i am missing for the database connectivity.
If any body on this forum can help me out.
thanks
Here is the Script for the above form which i used to populate the NAME FIELD on the basis of enetered RECORD number.
----- Document.Page1.txt_MRN::exit: - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
/* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection.
sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from. Note the data connection will appear in the Data View.
sColHiddenValue - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating.
sColDisplayText - this is the display text column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating.
These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly. Replace <value> with the correct value.
var sDataConnectionName = "DataSource"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection";
var sColHiddenValue = "RecordNum";   // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue";
var sColDisplayText = "Name";   // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription"
// Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name
var nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName)
nIndex++;
//var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex);
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1);
oDB.open();
oDB.first();
// Search node with the class name "command"
var nDBIndex = 0;
while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command")
nDBIndex++;
// Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay
var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction");
var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction");
// Clear the list
this.clearItems();
// Search for the record node with the matching Data Connection name
nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName)
nIndex++;
var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex);
// Find the value node
var oValueNode   = null;
var oTextNode   = null;
var sRecordNum = $.rawValue;
for(var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex++)
if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColHiddenValue)
oValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex);
else if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColDisplayText)
oTextNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex);
var found= 0;
while(!oDB.isEOF())
if (oValueNode.value== sRecordNum)
txt_FirstName.rawValue = oTextNode.value;
txt_LastName.rawValue = oTextNode.value;
found = 1;
break;
//this.addItem(oTextNode.value, oValueNode.value);
   oDB.next();
   if (found == 0)
    txt_FirstName.rawValue = "";
    txt_LastName.rawValue = "";
// Restore the original settings
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction");
// Close connection
oDB.close();

Finally achived the database connectivity for the published pdf form developed in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
There must be the same driver version of the DSN on both machines. The machine which published the form and the one accessing it.
Use the Admin account to add the DSN on both machines.
Get rid of the error: Connection for Source "DataConnectionName" failed because the environment is not trusted.
Thanks

Publish iviews in Portal Content Directory within BEX

Hi,
I'm having a problem wherein I'm not able to view the
PCD contents while i'm trying to publish an iview to the
portal thru BEX.In this case i'm not able to publish anything to portal.The Super administrator can view these with his ID.
we are using EP6.0 and BW3.5.I have tried giving the
same set of roles as that of administrator to myself even
then it doesnt seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Arun,
I have exactly the same problem as Catherine has. I checked through SM30, and there's one entry in the table with the following values:
Destination: EPDBIP_PORTAL
Name of the system: BIPCLNT040
Default: checked
URL Prefix: http://emsso2.web.bc:52000
Prefix BW Metadata: /bip_metadata
KM Service URL: <<empty>>
However, I still get the bad index problem. Any more ideas (anyone) ?
Thanks

How to fetch published data from portal using ABAP

Hello,
I have a file published in the portal (with broadcaster). Now I want to use this file in an ABAP program. I can't call the web address directly because my program can't handle the Portal authentication. So I have two questions:
- is there any way to call Portal-websites which require authentication from ABAP?
or
- how can I directly get access to the file without detour over the Portal (where is the place in file system).
Thank you very much!
Martin

Hello Adrian,
Thank you very much for your reply.
> You can publish the report in MHTML format using the

> independent of the portal) then you could pick this

What do you mean with "mapped drive" - <a href="http://http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/42/e915d951f23ee0e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm">this</a>? I guess I could choose this drive in broadcaster at "export document in any folder" (don't know exactly English label because my system is in German language...)?
> I dont really see the value of publishing the report
> to KM if all you are wanting to do is read this back

> publish the report to the portal in the first place?
I need to get the image of a BW-chart in ABAP because I want to use it in SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (I have an ABAP program to fetch my data and create the form). I could create my own chart of the data with the Internet Graphics Service but this would be a lot of work. You can create this charts very easily using the Chart Designer which i.e. is included in the Web Application Designer. If you create a Web Site containing a chart you can access this via browser and you have the chart as an image (created from current data). I tried simply to call this website with ABAP but I can not "log in" and so I have no access to this page. Because of this I had the idea to use the broadcaster to automatically publish this Web Application when my data were updated. If I use MHTML my chart-image is saved separately. This just would work for me. And now I want to get this image as a binary with ABAP.
I hope you understand my problem.

CorelDRAW X4. Published PDFs don't open properly. But they used to.

Hi everyone. I am having a problem while publishing a PDF from CorelDRAW X4. It used be ok for a long time, but one day something went wrong. After opening a published PDF file I see only a blank page zoomed to an enormous percentage value (e.g., 6035%) and the it says "there was an error reading this document (14)" .You cannot see anything but you can still import the PDF back into Corel and see the content. Unfortunatelly generated PDFs are useless. I am using different versions of Reader on a few computers. Everywhere is the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what happened ?

Print PDF vs Publish PDF

What is the difference between Printing a PDF and Publishing a PDF. I know that if a printed and published one are combined the links become messed up within the document. Is there any difference between the two?

My "take" on it
"Print" --- digital content ends up as an imprint on some kind of paper media.
"Publish" --- digital content is repurposed to a different file format.
"Published" PDFs can be provided via use of Adobe Printer for a simple PDF (no "extras", just page content) or via an interface between an application and Distiller (like PDFMaker or the FrameMaker or InDesign interface) that results in robust PDF.
Be well...

Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

Hi!
Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
Page numbers are in footer in format
curr_group_page/total_group_pages
where:
curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
Example:
ID=1 (4 pages)
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
ID=2 (1 pages)
1/1
ID=3 (2 pages)
1/2, 2/2
ID=4 (3 pages)
1/3, 2/3, 3/3
etc.
How to achieve that kind of numbering?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Damir Vadas

Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805
This Is The APEX SUPPORT forum, we deal with SUPPORT questions on APEX (Application Express)..

Inline XML Publisher PDF rendered using IFRAME in Self Service

Hi,
We have created an XML Publisher Report (PDF) which renders inline in a SelfService Page.
When we click on the Save Icon in the IFRAME, The File Name is really long including the Applications URL, DBC File, File Name etc.
Ex: http___it21.marvell.com_8005_OA_HTML_xdo_doc_display.jsp_dbcName=it21_devt&fileName=MVL_HR_EMP_APPRAISAL_DETAIL-1163094244_out.pdf.pdf&mFileLength=50068&p_output=_devt_prod_prodcomn_html_fwk_t_MVL_HR_EMP_APPRAISAL_DETAIL-1163094244_out.pdf
The requirement is to change the File Name to PerformanceAppraisal.pdf
Below is the code used to render the inline PDF.
- The XMLString has the complete XML generated.
public void renderInlinePDF(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean, OAApplicationModule am, String XMLString, String templateName)
System.out.println("---MVLReviewPerformanceXMLUtil.renderInlinePDF----------------- XMLString "+ XMLString);

pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- xmlData : "+xmlData.toString(), 4);
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------------------------------------------------------------- ", 4);
String redirectURL = null;
try
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- redirectURL 1 : "+redirectURL, 4);
redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(
pageContext
,"XXGT"
,templateName
,xmlData.getBinaryStream()

,"US"
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- redirectURL 2 : "+redirectURL, 4);
System.out.println("---MVLReviewPerformanceXMLUtil---------------------------- redirectURL = "+ redirectURL);
catch(Exception e )
throw new OAException("Error in redirect");

OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean(pageContext,HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src",redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title","PerformanceReview");

OAWebBean iFramePlaceHolder = (OAWebBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("IFrameRegionPlaceHolder");
iFramePlaceHolder.addIndexedChild(outRegion);
// pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- IFRAME AddIndexedChild", 4);

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks Balusc!!
I have made use of your code to display PDF files in an IFRAME tag too!!! I just dint believe that this would be possible. Please just take a look at my JSP page.
<h:form id="CaseLookUp">
     <%
     String path = request.getContextPath()+"";
     out.print(path);
     %>
<iframe scrolling="auto" src="<%=path%>/imageServlet?file=D:\70-229 V5.pdf" width="80%" height="600" ></iframe>
