Storing/Editing Word Documents in Forms 6i

Has anyone done this in 6i ?
Apparently, the only solution is to write some JavaBeans. Has anyone done this and are there any samples that would allow us to do this other than the samples on Technet as unfortunately they do not help much.
It seems as though this is a fairly common request so I am hoping that someone has done it and will be able to help.
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.

Thanks,
I think it is better to use LOB's instead of LONGRAW in 8.1.6 ?
Can you edit formatted text (WORD document) if it is stored in a CLOB or BLOB datatype.
Has anyone got any pointers to examples of storing formatted text and being able to edit it.
Thanks
Andy

  • Create/Edit Word documents from Form 6 in the web

    How can I create/edit Microsoft Word documents from a form running under IAS.
    In client/server I can do it using OLE2.

    On the Web the OLE2 option would still work if your Forms server is on a windows machine with word on it. The files will be created on the server and you can get them to the client with the web.show_document built-in.
    If you want to create them on the client machine directly you need a Java bean that will activate the COM interface.

  • Create/edit word document from in Forms 6

    I want to create and or edit word documents stored in the operating system whose name (and path) is stored in the database. I have a form with a field of the doc name, how can I call word with the file name?
    I've never used OLE before so be specific.
    Thanks

    I've never used OLE before so be specific.So you know what to use. Look at Forms Help. There is no better place for this. You will get examples there.
    But Remember If you are using Forms on WEB this will give problems as OLE is not supported on WEB.

    Odonnells52 you will still need to install Adobe Acrobat Professional prior to being able to make edits to PDF or utilize Acrobat.   By default the installation files have been saved to your download folder.
    If you continue to face difficulties with the Adobe Download Assistant then please see Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant.
    You can also download the installation files directly from Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X if you are unable to locate the downloaded installation files.

    there is the possibility of integrated a word document in forms 6i?

    You can embed and OLE object like Word into Forms but this is a client/server only solution.
    Take a look at the online help for OLE and OLEobjects.

  • How can I best edit word documents that have been emailed to my iPad?

    I  regularly receive word documents from work, via my yahoo email account.  I have two questions really. 
    1) Can I edit word documents received via email?
    2) If this is possible, what is the best way to do this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, yes. When I asked "how do I transfer it to Pages for editing?" I perhaps should have made it clear that I have purchased it. I can also create documents in it and send them as a Word document to others via email.
    Could you clarify "When you get the email, click on the Word Document to view it." The email appears in the Inbox list but does not show an attachment in the same way it does on my Mac. If I tap the email, it opens and reveals the contents including the Word document contents. At what point am I looking for an arrow - in the email list or in the opened and readable Word document?

  • How to edit Word Document stored in BDS through ABAP WebDynpro

    Hi All,
    Currently, my company has an ECC 6 program very similar to SAPRDEMO_FORM_INTERFACE.  This program takes a word form and populates it with various bits of data for the end user.  The user can then edit this document as they see fit and save it to the BDS system against a Material. 
    The current requirement is to replicate this functionality through a WebDynpro program.  SAP does have a demo WebDynpro program IOS_TEST_WORDPROCESSING under package SIOS.  Within Method WDDOMODIFYVIEW of view TEST_VIEW_WORDPROC, the program takes the URL of a MIME repository object (which is a word document) and displays that document.  I tried to replicate this functionality by using the URL and content of the document using the CL_BDS_DOCUMENT_SET; however I am unsuccessful in getting this document to display.  No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the BDS document to display. 
    Does anyone know how to display and edit BDS documents through WebDynpro?  Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your help.
    John

  • Viewing word documents through forms

    Hi Guys,
    I am using forms 10g and webutil to transfer documents (only word
    documents are working now, pdf isn't. Don't know why
    yet) from the client machine and storing them in the
    database tru forms. How can I view the stored document
    tru forms? The column data type is BLOB.
    Regards,

    Francois,
    I looked at that paper and it helped me greatly in getting my file transfer to work to upload files from the client to the database (BLOB column). I looked over the information on the webutil_docs dialog but I am not sure I understand how to implement the feature to allow users to edit files that have been stored as BLOBs. Can you give a quick and dirty recipe for getting this set up? Is it a standard part of the webutil package?

  • How to Edit Word Document in Oracle ADF Application - Apache POI

    Hi All
    I was wondering if there is a way to edit and save word documents in Oracle ADF without loosing the Formatting.
    I was able to edit and save the word document however the Formatting was lost.
    Please let me know if there are any pointers or open source Java APIs that we can use to achieve this.

    Refer the Text Formatting section
    Apache POI - HWPF - Java API to Handle Microsoft Word Files
    HWPF Reads in a Word document with minimum formatting (no lists, tables, footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers)
    Apache POI - HWPF - Java API to Handle Microsoft Word Files
    The _cbt field in class HWPFDocumentCore contains formatting information.
    HWPFDocumentCore (POI API Documentation)
    For more advanced text extraction needs, including Rich Text extraction (such as formatting and styling), along with XML and HTML output, Apache POI works closely with Apache Tika to deliver POI-powered Tika Parsers for all the project supported file formats.
