Scan document from web form

Hi all,
I have a CFMX7 application where I would like to integrate
scanning of a local paper document into the client PC, have it
stored as a PDF or graphic file, and the file automatically
uploaded with the other data of a form. How can I have a web form
button kick off the scan in the first place? This would seem like
the province of an ActiveX control, but does anyone have any idea
how to do this, or know of any existing tools that enable it?
Thanks,
Russ

That is all fine and dandy for your and your users, but if
the
CAPABILITY existed in the browser so that you could do this
for your
users who want it and except the security risks, it would
exist for all
developers and all users of that browser. That means it would
be very
simple for unethical developers to use the capability to
steal
information for other users who DID NOT except the security
risk.
If IE had this functionality for you, then I could use it to
create a
website, trick you to visit that site and do nasty things
with your data.
NOW, I guess an activeX plugin that had to be installed would
mitigate
this somewhat, but it still is really stretching in my mind.

  • How to change/set the browser title from web forms (XP platform with SP2)

    I am running Form9i, I have set the browser windows title from Web Forms dynamically by using following method. However, when my PC has changed to XP, the function seems not work. Does anybody have same problem and how to solve it? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Add the Javascript code to your baseHTML file. For example,
    if you are using the basejini.htm:
    <HEAD><TITLE>%pageTitle%</TITLE>
    <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript1.2">
    function Change(a) {    document.title=a;    } </script>
    </HEAD>
    In web Forms , call the javascript function with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built.
    For Example the following code set the browser title with username . web.show_document('javascript:Change('||'"'|| get_application_property(USERNAME)||'"'||')','_self');
    Best Regards,

    Dear Frank,
    Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me in detail which built-in function in Webutil can set value in browser title ?
    Btw, is it possible for me to set parameter "separateFrame=True" in formsweb.cfg and set the form window title by using SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,v_msg_string)?

  • You cannot drop components on plain HTML documents, only web form

    Hi,
    I have created new page, from page navigation->new page. Added output text components, buttons,text fields, dropdowns, etc. Next day, all the components just disappeared from the JSP page but the JSP source file still has the all the outputText, selectOneMenu,inputText,etc.
    I tried to add new components again but it wouldn't let me to add, instead displays a message "You cannot drop components on plain HTML documents, only web form".
    So I deleted the page, recreated whole page from scratch, after few hours the very same problem.
    I deleted the page again and created the new page from scratch, wrote java code which was working absolutely fine. Next day its the same problem again.
    I am fed up with creating the same page again and again, wasting lots of time. Can some one please tell me whats going on?
    I did search the forum, few people reported the same problem but couldn't the find solution.

    thanks for getting back to me.
    Unfortunately, the link dint solve my problem.
    I have already read this link and the cpu time is not my problem( I mean not highest priority for now, I will have look in to it once I solve the drag and drop problem).
    I haven't used getContext() so its not the source of the problem. I din't quite understand the workarround suggested by Eric. Could you please explain in detail about the workarround? and how to do it?
    thanks

  • Scanning Documents in Oracle Forms

    Dear All,
    Kindly i need to scan documents through oracle forms 6i. What should i do? and is there a special scanner that is working for oracle forms 6i.

    This is not a very common request, but a few people have posted the question and some have posted solutions. I did a quick search of the forum and found the following:
    1 - Here is a solutions based on a Java Bean (Need to read image from scanner
    2 - Here is a reference to using OLE: Scanning using OCX. This option uses the D2kWutil library so you make have trouble converting from Forms 6i to 10g or newer later on. I'm not sure this post has a complete code example or only posts enough code to point you in the right direction.
    Hope this helps,

  • Zooming in a PDF Document from Web

    Hello,
    How can I zoom in a PDF Document from Web using Safari 2.0.4?
    Thank you.
    -HREsquivelO

    HRE,
    There is a couple of ways to zoom in PDF and any file. But my favorite is to hold down the "Control" key and use the Scroll wheel on your mouse to Zoom in and out. Assuming you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that is.
    If you don't have a scroll wheel you can hold down the Option & Apple (Command) key and the press the "+ or -" keys to zoom in and out. Then move around your document with the mouse.
    Way cool!

  • Scanned documents from preview yield blank/black pdf

    I have just upgraded laptops and operating systems moving from Snow Leopard to Lion. I am attempting to scan text documents using Preview in Lion as I had done before using Snow Leopard. I am using the same printer/copier/scanner, HP Photosmart C5280, but am encountering different results. When I scanned documents from my previous MacBook using Snow Leopard, I achieved the desired pdf document results. However, when I scan the same document using my new MacBook Air and OS X Lion, the document saves as a blank/black pdf. Does anyone have any idea why this is occurring?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Rysz,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
    Unfortunately, I ran Software Update and also referenced the HP site to determine the driver for Lion. My driver is up-to-date and no software updates are available.
    I am going to keep researching.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Audit Intersection fails from Web Form

    We have an HFM 9.3.1 application successfully integrated with FDM 9.3.1, in that when navigating to a base level intersection, which has been loaded by FDM, the audit intersection option allows a drill-through analysis to the correct FDM application / location.
    This feature works perfectly OK from right clicking a grid intersection and selecting Audit Intersection. However, if a web form is used to display the same intersection and the user selects Audit Intersection the following error message is generated :-
    System Error "The signed on token is no longer valid" the web screen also displays an error stating there are localization errors and that the action is empty or missing.
    Repeatedly performing the same operation from data grids and web forms results in the web form audit always failing and grid audit always succeeding.
    Looking at the URL parameters I can see that the two sets of actions sent to generate the FDM audit page are indeed different
    I have included the source "action" parameter from the IntersectionSummarybyLocation web page. (With line breaks to aid readability)

    It would appear that the format for characters is different and the SSO_TOKEN is differrent (although this maybe by design since the calling locations are different).
    I have checked that the Grid and Web Form operations are calling the same web page encoding of Unicode (UTF-8).
    Anybody got any idea why FORM functionality is failing to display the Audit Intersection?
    Kind regards
    Colin
    Edited by: Colin Lye on Sep 15, 2011 6:26 AM

    Applied Patches 9.3.1.1 thru to 9.3.1.4 (latest).
    Problem resolved. Audit Intersections now work from both Grid and Forms.
    Incidentally, both "Action" parameters from Grid and Form are now identical including the SSO_Token.

  • Sending email from web forms (Forms 6i)

    Does anyone know how to send email using Outlook from web forms? I can get it working with client server but not with web forms.
    Thanks,
    Darcea Klein
    null

    Many ways to send a email:
    1. use Web.Show_Document(v_url, '_blank') to call a .asp or .php or .cgi page which can send email, attaching some message.
    2. use utl_smtp built_in in Oracle 8i, you can save this procedure in database, then call this procedure in your web form.
    PROCEDURE SEND_EMAIL (sender IN VARCHAR2,
    recipient IN VARCHAR2,
    message IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
    mailhost VARCHAR2(30) := 'smtp.aaaaa.com';
    mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
    BEGIN
    mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 25);
    utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn, mailhost);
    utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn, sender);
    utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn, recipient);
    utl_smtp.data(mail_conn, message);
    utl_smtp.quit(mail_conn);
    -- Handle the error

    This is very odd. Were the images that you scanned before installing Yosemite saved as JPEG? If yes, have you tried saving the scanned image as a TIFF?
    Also, if you scan to a USB memory stick from the MX and save this as a JPEG, and then open the file on the Mac, does it also display as black?

  • Filling in PDF forms from web forms

    I have acrobot pro, and can build PDF files. What I don't know how to do is build a web form that'll fill in PDFs, and then make a copy to the server, or email the pdf to the person who filled in the form.
    What forum is the correct place to ask this question? I don't want to be irritating people by asking in the wrong place.

    This forum is fine, you just may want to provide more details. Acrobat's help has more information on creating forms, as do a number of tutorials at AcrobatUsers.com.
    Submitting the entire PDF either to a web server or sending it by email is easy, but if it has to work with Reader, the form has to be Reader-enabled. You can do this in Acrobat, but there is a 500 form limit on the number of returned forms Iincluding hardcopies) that you can use data from if you distribute the document to more than 500 users. When you post a Reader-enabled document on a publicly accessible web site, you are effectively distributing it to an unlimited number or people.
    An alternative is to set up the form to submit just the form data to a web server or send it via email. There are no licensing restrictions for this. The form data can then be later imported back into a blank form, stored in a database, or the data file archived.
    Much of what you asked about does not involve Acrobat directly, but rather programming of the server to respond to a form submission.
