Retrieving PDF form from Application server

hi all,
i am saving a pdf form in application server and when the user wants the same file then i want to retrive that file from application and show the user and it should not be saved to presentation server only he should see it.
iam able to save it to presentation layer using gui_download but my requirement is not to save it show only display the form.
Thanks in advance,
Sree

Hi,
1st solution - use DOI (desktop office integration). This way you can open Adobe, Microsoft, and others application documents directly in the SAP windows. See SAP document how to do it. It's not a little work, but it should fulfill your requirements.
2nd solution - share the folder with the PDF documents and then with shell command (start
server\folder\xxxxxx.pdf) at the front end access it and start the associated application at the frontend. I don't recommend this one, sharing folders at the appl.server is a security threat...
You know about the points and useful answers...

Picking of Adobe forms from application server

Hi Gurus
We have SAP ECC 6.0. So far in our system we have text files and CSV excel files which comes from external system and lies in application sever and these are being picked up automatically by system and gets processed in SAP.
1)The requirement is to "pick the adobe forms from application server and read some fields in the form and update the fields (required) in customer master data in SAP". How can we achieve this?
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks

Uplaod Adobe form from application server

I've a requirement where the Adobe interactive from files will be located in the application server directory and need to be uploaded from there.
I'm using "open data set... in binary mode" comment to open the file and then read it and store in the lt_rawtab table. But I'm not sure how to get the length of the file (which you can get when you're uploading the file from front end/local disk using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload).
If you have address this kind scenario please share how did you upload the Adobe from application server?

Hi Anto,
In fact my problem was due to l_len parameter when calling the function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING' to convert bin pdf document to Xstring type.
I was not sure what value should I pass to input_length parameter.
Then, I saw in some post that the length should be no of lines in lt_rawtab * 255 and that resolved my issue.
I'm having another issue though. When I open the Adobe form, it says "message limit exceeded"... any idea how to fix this?

Now you will be able to get the filesize and the file in SDOK format sdokbin.
Okay.
You have to build an request and push the content to the user like:
call method server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type' value = value ).
describe field file_content_binary-line length line_length in byte mode.
bytes_rest = file-size.
loop at file_content_binaries assigning <file_content_binary>.
    move <file_content_binary>-line to data.
    if bytes_rest <= 0. "mismatch between line values and size
      exit.
    endif.
    if bytes_rest >= line_length.
      call method server->response->append_data( data = data
        length = line_length ).
    else.
      call method server->response->append_data( data = data
        length = bytes_rest ).
    endif.
    bytes_rest = bytes_rest - line_length.
endloop.
This will work.
You can set the header fields like you want. Have also a look at sicf node contentserver
and its handler: CL_HTTP_EXT_CSIF

If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.
Regards
Jayashree

Hi Sandeepmsandy,
There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.

Problem with pdf display downloaded from application server

Hi all,
I have a problem with displaying pdf downloaded from application server (saved in BINARY MODE).
I am getting the pdf output of adobe form in FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF as rawstring back to my program and then converting that rawstring into binary form using the function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING.
Now, when I export the data to presentation server directly using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, the pdf is downloaded properly.
However, when I save the data to application server file by looping at the internal table obtained from SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY and using TRANSFER, and subsequently downloading the file in "unconverted format" from AL11 to my desktop, I am getting a "blank" pdf file (with the same number of pages as the one downloaded using gui_download).
I have tried different encodings during download but in those cases i get corrupted pdf message. only the default option of INTIAL value seems to work.
I am forced to believe that there is a problem in my code which saves the data to app server but I cant find any solution that is logical. Any solution to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sasi

Saving PDF file into application server

Dear all,
My requirement is retrieving a PDF file from application server and modifying the document and saving it back to the application server through BSP application.
I've retrieved the data from the application server and displayed it in the frame of BSP layout and modified the same (adding signature). We got stuck in saving back the signed document into the application server.
Can anyone guide me in saving back the modified document or how to get the modified file content through BSP.
Regards
Srini

How to store and retrieve a PDF form to SQL Server from LiveCycle?

My intention is to save a complete PDF form into a database and then later on retrieve this form from DB.
To do this, SQL Server has got two datatypes, image or Varbinary(max). I am able to store a PDF using "Execute SQL Statement"(I have written an Insert statement). Some value is being written into DB as well.
But when I try to retrieve this record using "Query Single Row"(I store the result to a doc variable), the retrieved PDF is of an unknown type and cannot be opened by Adobe Reader.
I am not sure if my approach is correct. Is it possible to store/retrieve a PDF form to/from a DB through LiveCycle?
If yes, please give me some guidance.

hi
am not sure
but u can use the same concept as storing image in db and retrieve..
create a blob column
parse that pdf and store into that column.
again u retrieve the content and via file io make the same name with pdf extension..

Can anyone please help me in this regard.

Gagan

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

Fill out a pdf form from ADF application

Hi
I need to fill out a PDF form, from my ADF application and i want to know if exist a component or libarary to do this.
i hope you can help me
Regards.

Hi,
two options are:
Oracle BI Publisher (by far best choice but needs to be licenced)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/vohra-jdev-xmlpub.html
Jasper Reports, Free but not as functional or easy to use as BIP
http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports
Both products have Java API's which you can integrate with your application.
