Reading pdf files while generating them.

Hi forum,
I've got a database process that invokes many times the report servlet (using UTL_HTTP), in order to generate pdf files that will be stored in a directory accessible from database (appears in all_directories table). At the same time, another database process takes these pdf files in order to store them on a blob field. The question is: I've got to make sure that reader process takes the complete pdf file, thus, that the writer process has wholly generated it before reader tries to access it. How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Luis Serrano.

Hi Marcus,
Thank you for you reply, I think that's right for me. I found another site where the same idea is used: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/wp-content/images/Storing%20your%20report%20in%20the%20database.pdf

    Depending on your choice of database software, it may or may not support the storage of binary large objects (BLOBs).

  • Cannot open pdf files while the Reader instance is running

    Today I suddenly noticed that if I try to open pdf file while the Reader instance is already running (even if it has no pdf files open), the cursor just blinks one or two times without any further activities. So the only way to open files now is by closing the previous instance and starting the new one. I think this problem started to appear after upgrading to 11.0.3. I am using Windows 7 32 bit.

    I narrowed the problem: it happens if the file is in a directory which is a join point on the NTFS file system (i.e. a link to another directory), where the link source is in turn a join point itself (i.e. we have a two-level NTFS directory link). As this is rare, it could be not a problem of the particular version of the Reader, it just probably happened by coincidence that after upgrading the first directory I accessed was of this kind.

  • I have to zip pdf files to email them to someone with a PC. The problem is they aren't smaller after zipping and I can't email them. I tried adjusting the Quartz filter to the Reduce file size. Now they're smaller, but the recipient can't read them. Help!

    I need to zip pdf files to email them to a PC user. The problem is file size is not reduced.
    I tried zipping them in Win 7 (which I use via Parallels 7) and sending them to the Finder to email.
    But lately nothing is reduced.  I tried choosing the Reduce File Size option in the Quartz Filter when I save the doc. The file size was reduced. However, the recipient could not read the file. Everything was blurry.
    Is there a solution?

    I am having some PDF sizing issues also, I am a BETA tester for TurboCAD Mac, and with the usage of (public) version 5, I have had some scaling issues. I have had (auto sent) 15 plus crash reports, (available as text) and had posted my scenario within the "lion- problems so far" article, so not to use up extra bandwith- or whatever- there are pictures there. I was not able to upload a PDF on site, and the staff @ Turbo CAd is working on it also. this is Lion specific new update, as I have posted many large format PDF's

    Thanks for the helps!

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
    == When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

    I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas? 

    WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

  • Unable to read PDF files created by FTP Adapter

    Hi,
    I am unable to read pdf files generated by FTP Adapter with its default settings.
    Can anybody guide me how to proceed with it. I guess I need to change something in encoding mechanism in FTP Adapter Outbound Connection Pool, but not sure what has to be.
    Thanks,
    Richa

    Hi all,
    I have got its solution. I was unable to read .pdf files because FTP adapter  was sending the files just by changing the extension from .txt /.xml to .pdf that is the reason that it was not readable.
    We had to write an java code to convert .xml file to .pdf file and then paas it to FTP ADapter.
    Thanks

  • I cannot open pdf file while browsing on my galaxy tab 10.1, I must download fisrt, why?

    I am wanting to view pdf files while I am browsing on my galaxy tab 10.1. The browser will not open the pdf. I always get the download screen asking what to name the file and where to put it.

    Adobe does not have a pdf plugin for Android. All pdf files will need to be saved and opened with a pdf reader external to the browser.

  • Cant read PDF files in email

    Hello all, I am trying to view a PDF file I had sent to me in gmail. When I click on the attachment it downloads the file but when I try to view the PDF file all the pages are white. I did a search on viewing PDF files and some posts said you can read PDF files in your emails while others said you have to buy a 3rd party app, im not against buying one I just want to make sure im not doing anything wrong. Any help is appreciated.

    Not sure if there is something wrong with this particular PDF file, but I view PDF files sent as email attachments from within the received message on a regular basis. I exports estimates as a PDF file from an estimating software program that I use for my business so I can send an estimate as a PDF file to clients for viewing and printing.
    I use a POP account for business, which doesn't provide for saving sent messages on the server, so I always Bcc: myself with the email to my MobileMe email address so I receive the estimates sent as a PDF attachment with my iPhone. This allows me to view the PDF files with my iPhone when a client calls to talk about an estimate, and I have a server stored mailbox for these estimates that I transfer the received email to for faster reference.
    I've never had any problems viewing a received PDF file sent as an attachment by myself, or from others, so you don't need a 3rd party app for this.
