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,
Craig

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

won't have any security concerns about the scanning - they're the

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.

Image Scan in Oracle Forms 6i

Dear all,
I need help to scan image from Oracle Form Builder 6i and store the image location in the oracle 9i database.
Here important issue is we just store the image location in the database not the image.
We'll store the images in a storage device and store the location path in the database. And retrive the image from storage device using the path.
For example: User Scan the image using Form builder 6i then save the image like 1001-DPS-1.jpg in the default location like D:\Image\.....
And in oracle 9i database data save like : 1001 DPS 1 D:\Image\1001-DPS-1.jpg User_Name Sysdate
Data save automatically in the database when image scanned and saved in physical drive. This is our main purpose.
Is it possible to solve this task using Oracle 9i and Developer 6i??? Need all of your urgent help. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

FANHow would you like your document to be attached??? What is the nature of your Document??
If it's the records of another form like an invoice already typed in in your application, you can simply add a field that holds the ID/Number/Reference of your document, and have a button that drills down the data for you.
If it's a scanned document you can use an image item, and display the document in an that item in your forms.

Alternative for images you can use BLOBs and other types of systemfiles

How to scan a document straight from Oracle Forms?

How do you connect Oracle Forms (10g) to a scanner and scan documents from an Oracle form??? Is there a way using WebUtil??? i.e. Form has a button called scan. When we press the button the document in the scanner will be scanned and displayed in the form. User can then save it in the DB in a BLOB column.

A colleague of me did it like this:
* the scanner is connected to a network document server.
* the document server sends(ftp) the image to the oracle XDB
* a form shows the scanned documents(using a view on the ftp directory in XDB using path_view)
* in this form the user can move the scanned document(s) to a (blob field) in a table.
Hope this helps a bit...

How to scan document into forms directly ?

hi all
how to scan any document into oracle developer form directly
(we are using forms 4.5 ..on win 98)
thanks

First I would suggest that you read the documentation about working with Active/X.
The online version is in the documentation section of Forms on OTN.
Then, you insert the scan.ocx into your form. you use the ole importer to create a pl/sql package to communicate with the ocx and you are ready to start calling methods such as scan etc...

Printing a document without opening it in Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Friends,
This is my first thread in this forum. Please any one give me a solution for my below request.
We use oracle 10g and windows (any version). I want to print some files available in a folder without opening it (run in background) through oracle forms.
My requirement is:
A folder contains 10 files of word and excels documents. The client machine user (for example 3 clients’ machines who has different default printer configuration) has to trigger the print command to print the documents.
* I have found Article "Java Bean to print a file to Local Printer" (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html). I do think it will help.
* I have found a windows command prompt print concept.
PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2
Prints a text file.
PRINT [D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]]
/D:device specifies a print device.
* The command prompt print syntax is used with webutil function as given below.
CLIENT_HOST('cmd PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2);
1) is the web util syntax only enough for this requirement?
2) In this how to find the default printers in each client machines and use in the place of syntax?
3) Or any other ways available for this requirement.
I look forward solution for this question....!

Hi Jeshra,
Another option would be to find or write a Windows PowerShell script to print any file and then call that from CLIENT_HOST. Many file types, including Microsoft Office files, have a print operation registered with Windows so you can right-click on them in Windows Explorer and choose "Print." You should be able to exploit this ability with PowerShell.
A quick Google search revealed this potential PowerShell solution:
http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/karl-prosser/archive/2009/02/10/print_2D00_file_2D00_function.aspx
PowerShell is installed by default only on Windows 7 so you would have to install it on older Windows clients.
Hope that helps,
Brian
