Sarah,
so your pdf-document is stored in the database.
we jump over step 4 what would be the code for sending the pdf-file to the database ...
Step 5 open the stored pdf-file:
Please create a when-mouse-doubleclick trigger on your filename-item:
declare
l_temp_file constant varchar2(255) := client_win_api_environment.get_environment_string ( 'Temp' ) || '\temp.pdf';
begin
if
:pdf.filename is not null
then
if
    webutil_file_transfer.db_to_client ( l_temp_file, 'PDF', 'PDF', ' id_pdf = ''' || :pdf.id_pdf || '''' )
then
    client_host ( 'cmd /C start ' || l_temp_file );
else
    Message ( 'Failure while downloading ' || :pdf.filename || ' from the database. ' || dbms_error_text );
    Message ( ' ' );
    clear_message;
end if;
else
Message ( 'No PDF-file selected.' );
Message ( ' ' );
clear_message;
end if;
end;Save your form, compile and run it.
Execute a query on the pdf-block and doubleclick your filename item.
Now you can read your forms reference pdf direct from the database :).
Regards

How to save pdf file in database

Dear All,
my application is forms 6i and database is 8i,requirement is that how to save pdf file in database and users can view through forms

I'll apologize up front for the length of this post. I have a few database procedures I created that write a file to a BLOB column in a table as well as retrieve the BLOB from the column after it stored there. I have successfully stored many different types of binary file to the database using these procedures - including PDF files. I have not used these procedures in a Form so I can confirm that they will work, but theoretically they should work. I'm including the code for each procedure in this posting - hence the apology for the long post! :-)
Also, since these procedures reside on the database you will need to use Forms TEXT_IO built-in package to write your file to the server before you can use these procedures to store and retrieve the file from the database.
These procedures reads and writes a binary file to a table called "LOB_TABLE." You will need to modify the procedure to write to your table.

Store Pdf file

Hi,
Oracle Form 6i,
Oracle Database 11g.
Is there any way to store pdf file from user client machine without transfer the file to OS of database?
Regards,

In Forms 6i you can create an item of type OLE Container to store a PDF file.
However, I do not recommend this. You will never be able to retrieve the document in any other way than via Forms again. You cannot simply get the value of the BLOB column and store it somewhere as a PDF file. When using an OLE item, Forms "serializes" the data (whatever that means ) before storing it in the database. Also, OLE is obsolete in later versions of Forms.
>without transfer the file to OS of database
You don't have to transfer to the database server per se. Any file server will do, as long as the database has access to the directory (via CREATE DIRECTORY). This would be my preferred way to do it.

Hi Jorg ,
Are you trying to reduce the file size with the "Reduced size PDF" in the save as other option.
Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.
If possible ,please share the snapshot of the error message with us so that we can have a look in order to assist you further.

How to store PDF files in a table

Hi,
Is there a way to store PDF files in a table? Do I use LOB? How do I automatically read them if I want them to be available in a web site?
Thanks.

U have to use either BLOBs (internal LOBs) or BFILEs (external LOBs). check out docu. at http://www.akadia.com/services/ora_blob.html

HT5663 How to store PDF files in iCloud?

Is there a way to store PDF files in iCloud? I see that Preview supposedly stores PDF's in iCloud, but when I try it, I cannot find the file in iCloud.

Sorry AMCarter3, my bad. While it used to be in GoodReader they apparently removed it some time ago, supposedly for some legal reasons?
I too use GoodReader primarily with dropbox and box so had not noticed it was gone.
As an aside, for those apps that support iCloud storage, if you have a Mac, enable Documents & Data in the iCloud control panel. That will make a folder on your hard drive, named "Mobile Documents" that is your local mirror of your iCloud folders. Apps that sync their content to iCloud will make a folder for themselves when they first conntect to iCloud, and that folder will in turn get created as a sub-folder in Mobile Documents on your Mac (I still have my one for Goodreader, "JFJWWP64QD~com~goodiware~GoodReader", along with ones for Pages, Numbers, and a host of others).
You can then drag and drop any file you wish into that folder (as long as it is a file type supported by the app), and they will then sync to iCloud. You then use the app and download them for use on your iOS device from within the app. That folder on your Mac will be updated whenever it changes and your Mac has internet access to iCloud.
But, for PDFs in Goodreader, yes, dropbox works great, and has their free companion app for OS X if you want things on your computer to sync automatically too.

Awesome, I had hoped adobe were on the ball with this, but it's worth finding out beforehand.

Where to store PDF Files?

Hello,
I need to store PDF files on my application server. Where can I put them under the application.
Thanks in advance

I think it is a good idea NOT to store it under (== within) your application. That makes updates of the app easier and the pdf's can be maintained without touching the webapp. And vice versa.
WLS offers you the possibility to link any local drive to a web application. Just define this virtual drive in weblogic.xml :
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>c:\mydir\mypdfs</local-path>
<url-pattern>/mycontext/*.pdf</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>

Write PDF files from database to file system

Hi,
I have a requirement of writing PDF files that are stored in Oracle 10g's BLOB column to the FILE SYSTEM using PL/SQL (Not java or any external stored Proc), since i need to write a shell script which will load the PDF files from database on a timely basis.
Could anyone suggest me the way of executing this?
Environment: Oracle 10G (10.2.0.1.0) with Windows 2003 server.
Regards,
Nagarjun.

You could try to use the UTL_FILE package that is able to read/write text and binary data in a file located on the box hosting the database instance.

How to Store PDF files In the Oracle Database?

Hi All,
It is required for me to store the PDF files in the Database and retrieve it back whenever necessary.
Also I need to store it with some security. So no one can read the content of the file.
Please give me solution to these problems.
Thanks

Also I need to store it with some security. So no one can read the content of the file.Authenticate users requesting files.
Please give me solution to these problems.There are many possible solutions for your requirements.
