Save pdf output into db WITHOUT hardcoding username password in desname

We are trying to use pluggable destination (Blobdestination) to save our reports in pdf format into the database. Our security policies dictate that we cannot hardcode
the database username password in the URL or in the code.
What are our options? Can we use the OC4J datasources?
Thanks

We tried using utl_http, but face two issues.
1. When we used https and provided wallet, failure
happened.Why would you want the overhead of https between your db and your report server? The db should be inside a firewall and ideally, your report server would be too.
2. When the report runs for a long time time out
issues were happening.The default for utl_http is 60 seconds. You just have to change it:
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(60); -- default
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(3600); -- 1 hour

  • How to save pdf output

    Hi to all,
    I have just created a new report with xml publisher and I have associated the execution to a concurrent.
    When I see the output of my concurrent, I see the correct report.
    Now, I need to save the output of this concurrent from pl/sql, without open the concurrent.
    I'm new of xml publisher.
    Do you know how can I solve my problem?
    Thanks
    Pier

    PDF File is saved on the Concurrent Manager tier as $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT/{REPORTNAME}_{REQUEST_ID}_{COUNT}.PDF
    See this post:
    http://garethroberts.blogspot.com/2008/07/where-do-i-get-xml-file-or-request.html
    If you want to get the file in PL/SQL there are ways to do that also.

  • Converting Pdf page into word without distortion

    I am trying to copy a single page from a pdf file into a word document.  How do I do this without getting a lot of distortion.  The small numbers are hard to read when I do this.  If I just print the page I can see the numbers clearly. 
    Thank you

    PDF = Portable Document Format
    This is a special END RESULT format that is designed to be read/viewed on any computer that has Acrobat or Reader
    Think of a PDF as a cake... it contains flavoring + flour + water + eggs
    Once mixed/baked, you are not able to go back to the original components... you have a cake
    A PDF is "somewhat" easier to go back to components... but not always by very much
    Going from PDF to any editable format is a bit of a "hit and miss" proposition... and does not always work very well

    Hi
    ZPO_PDF is the transaction code.
    You can create this transaction code using transaction SE93 and assigning the program RSTXPDFT4 to it.

  • Save PDF Output custom settings?

    After tweaking almost every panel in the PDF output settings, I'd like to save those settings to reuse with other PDF contact sheets I'll be creating in the future. How do I do that? As soon as I tweak a setting, the Preset changes to Custom, and as soon as I select a different preset, the entire Custom entry is deleted from the dropdown menu.

    While the Output Module of Bridge is a good idea it is not "ready for prime time" in either of the two functional areas.
    I guess that's why they left the old-style methods available on the installation disk.
    Just another casualty of the "Rush it out to meet a deadline" policy.

  • Submit Pdf form to http w/ credentials (username/password)

    Hi!
    I developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle, it has a button which submits form with attachments to http site.
    No coding involved, just configuration of the button.
    Http site requires credentials (username/password). How do I pass those credentials with submission?
    Can username/password be added to http header?
    Or I can excecute some javascript before submission?
    Thanks you!

    I got it working
    1. WS (in .net) must be asmx service. WS method accepting attachment should have string as a parameter, which will be passed as base-64 encoded string. So to save it as a file it has to be decoded first. I used byte[] ... = Convert.FromBase64String(yourstring).
    Keep in mind string <= 2GB
    2. In PDF file add WS service as Data Connection (File->New Data Connection ->WSDL File-> wsdl -> etc...). PDF will generate all WS parameters and a button to call WS. Drag and drop data connection on the form OR right mouse click -> generate fields OR set <connect> element of different controls as you wish to match data connection. Let's say control generated and binded to WS input string parameter is called "base64StringDocContent" (name = "base64StringDocContent") and button that submits to WS is called "submitAttachmentBtn" (name="submitAttachmentBtn").
    3. Javascript code to send attachment to WS:
    //access pdf form
    var formDom = event.target;
    //attachment id should be unique, can be anything you like
    var attachmentId = new Date().getTime() + "";
    //prompt user for document and get it
    var documentSelected = formDom.importDataObject(attachmentId);
    if (documentSelected == true){
         //user selected the document
         //get stream of the document (attachment)
         var inputStream = formDom.getDataObjectContents(attachmentId);
         //get new stream encoded as base64
         var vEncodedStream = Net.streamEncode(inputStream, "base64");
         //get string from the stream
         var sBase64 = util.stringFromStream(vEncodeStream);
         //get conrol which is binded to WS input parameter
         //my PDF form is called form1
         var wsInputParam = form1.resolveNode("$..base64StringDocContent");
         //get button which submits to WS
         var wsSubmitBtn = form1.resolveNode("$..submitAttachmentBtn");
         //assign attachment content (encoded string to input parameter)
         wsInputParam.rawValue = sBase64;
         //call click event of WS submit button
         wsSubmitBtn.execEvent('click');
         //done
         //if WS returns any value it will be assigned to control binded to output value of the web service.
    else{
         //user clicked Cancel
    4. Validation and try and catch should be added where/when needed.
    Hope it saves a couple of days for somebody.
    Good luck!!!
    I am still curious how to work with credentials doing http submission.
    If somebody has a solution please post it.

  • Save pdf file in background without gui_download

    Video into PDF? Sounds reasonably strange. In any case, the only way to use such files would be to extract the components in Acrobat. Select the actual video with the Touchup Object tool, righ-click, save to disk. Depending oin the specifics of the PDF fiel this may not work, though.

  • Is it possible to combine multiple pdf's into one without saving them onto your computer?

    Hello
    I open pdf's in an application (no add ons for acrobat exist), and want to combine them without having to use time on saving them before merging them into one single document.
    Is it possible to do this without having the files saved onto your computer? I use acrobat x pro.

    I dont think you understand my question. Of course Adobe reader cant combine pdf's, if it could I would not have had to purchase Adobe acrobat.
    The problem I am trying to solve is how to combine pdf files when they are not opened/saved locally on my computer.
    If I make Acrobat the standard program for opening pdf files on my computer - then will it be possible to combine the files that are opened without saving them first?
    I dont have the program installed on my computer now, and have to know this before we purchase it.

  • Save PDF form into non editable PDF through button (SaveAs) using java script

    I am creating PDF form using LiveCycle 8.0.
    1) Using SaveAs the form in PDF (non editable) by using button and javascript
      ( app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
         myScript.LoclAllFields("form1");) this code is not working.
    2) show / hide the field by choosing the drop down List.
    Like, In drop down list their is tree option name  a, b, c. when select "A" hide the field_A and select "B". then show the field_A.

    Thanks for that script, it is a great way of securing it from being edited, but reader still won't allow the form to be saved, only as a copy without the inputted text. The idea of what I'm trying to achieve is a form which the staff here fill out and then send to our customers with non editable fields, there is the option to print to pdf but that saves the file as an 'image', this stops people from highlighting text which we don't want, they have to be accessible afterwards to copy and paste the text at a later date.
    I hope someone can help with what should be such a simple action.

  • I am unable to save pdf docs into iBooks.

    When I touch screen on PDF doc to seek options, only a magnifying lense opens. It does't give open in iBooks option.

    If you are veiwing an open pdf file in the mail app - don't hold down on the PDF. Tap the PDF and then an Arrow icon will appear in the upper right corner. Tap that to get the Open In option. If you hold down on the PDF file, you will only get the magnifying glass.
