Why is my pdf stored as a song

Yesterday I saved pdf files and they showed up under pdf. Today they are showing up in music. I can't seem to change this or find out why this is happening.

If you've got photos on it that were taken with it or saved from emails/websites etc, then it is the way by which you can copy them off. There is more info, including how to turn the notification or or off, in this article : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Is it possible to pass PDF (stored as BLOB) to PDFDocMerger

HI Folks.
Will PDFDocMerger Class allow you to pass in multiple PDF BLOBs as an input Stream Array?
Any pointers appreciated as I need to know if this is a non-starter.
I have many invoice PDFs stored as BLOBs in my database. I need a user to be able to select a bunch of these and have BIP merge them into one document.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hello Ike.
I have downloaded the IDE and I am following the installation steps.
I have performed step 3 and I have the following questions.
1) I can see a node in JDeveloper called XMLPublisherDataTemplate.java but not one named format template. Should I be able to? Also, could not find this in the IDE download folders. Where should I be looking.
2) I have executed the 'Run' on the XMLPublisherUtility.java node. The result was...

Problem displaying PDF stored in BLOB column

Hello everyone.
I've been trying to follow this tutorial http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::p11_question_id:232814159006 on displaying PDFs stored in BLOB columns. This is being performed on Apex 4.2, with my DB running 11g. I've got my procedure, which I'll post below:
create or replace procedure "PDF" (p_id IN gvo_documents.doc_id%type)
is
    l_lob    blob;
    l_amt    number default 30;
    l_off   number default 1;
    l_raw   raw(4096);
begin
    select contents into l_lob
        from gvo_documents
         where doc_id = p_id;
-- make sure to change this for your type!
    owa_util.mime_header( 'application/pdf' );
    begin
        loop
          dbms_lob.read( l_lob, l_amt, l_off, l_raw );
          htp.prn( utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2( l_raw ) );
          l_off := l_off+l_amt;
          l_amt := 4096;
    end loop;
        exception
           when no_data_found then
              NULL;
        end;
end;
I am trying to run this through a PL/SQL dynamic region and while I don't receive any error's, the content displayed is a huge mess of garbled text and odd characters. I've tried to run this procedure on numerous other document types, including word files and jpeg images, all with the necessary changes in my procedure, and regardless of what I use, I still get a large mess of strange characters. Does anyone have any information or ideas about why this is happening?

If I understand correctly, your requirements needs to be broken down into two problems:
1) click link that pops up a window displaying a new APEX page
2) an APEX page the displays the document, not downloads it.
I haven't done #1 (yet).
However, you may be able to generate a URL that points to the new page as part of the SELECT statement for the Report.
This has a related question, but no answer yet:
open pdf in popup browser window
The key is target="_blank" for the anchor tag.
To generate the URL, you should use the APEX_UTIL.prepare_URL() function.
If that doesn't work, a Dynamic Action that does some magical JavaScript stuff may be needed.
For #2, I lost the URL that showed how to display a PDF as part of a "form" page.
From what I remember:
Start with a blank page with one blank HTML region (all the Items go in the HTML region)
Add an Item for the PK/Doc_ID
part I forgot Create a Data Manipulation Process
- Automated Row Fetch
- On Load - After Header
- (stuff for your table/view)
part I forgot Create an (I believe) "File Browser" item type. For Settings:
- Storage Type "BLOB column specified in Item Source" (and place the column name of the BLOB there)
- MIME Type Column: (column name) -- since you have multiple types, this is a MUST HAVE
- Filename Column: (column name) -- I highly recommend you have this.
- Content Disposition == INLINE <-- this is the kicker
Also, you will need a Browser Plugin for each of the MIME Types (otherwise, the browser may try to 'download' the file)
Browsers can handle Image types internally. Adobe's plugin can handle PDFs. I don't know about Word/Excel.
Again, I don't remember the exact details, but that should cover most of it.

How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column at all.
Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Alex,
This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.

Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock? How do I get this to stop? I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod.

I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
HTH!!

How do you Display a PDF stored as a BLOB in Apex?

We are trying to use Apex for the first time here in our shop. The project we have selected has PDFs stored on the database as BLOBS that we currently are able to display with our forms application. We want to do this using apex, and have them appear on one of the pages in the application. I want the PDF to display on the page, when the page itself is invoked, without the need to click on a download link on the page itself.
I've seen certain examples displaying images etc, but I haven't found one that specifically refers to the display of a PDF database BLOB on a page (I assuming a report page) within Apex.
Also, since I've just set up the Apex environment utilizing Oracle HTTP Server in the middle tier, do I need Oracle's BI Publisher in order to display the PDFs in Apex?
Thanks in advance. Any advice or links would be much appreciated.
Phil

Thanks for the quick response, and you are correct. I've seen examples that include a link to specifically display the PDF, but I don't want them to be able to directly go to the PDF outside the context of the page itself. These are letters of recommendation that we store on our DB, and this application, for our med school admissions screeners, will be looking at up to three letters of recommendation for each applicant to which they have been assigned. We want them to click on an applicant, and then through a series of tabs view data on that applicant, some of which will be his/her letters of recommendation.

[XSQL] Displaying PDF stored in database as BLOB

Dear Sirs,
we have PDF stored in the database as BLOB.
I have written a PLSQL function which I call accordingly
<xsql:ref-cursor-function >
digitallibrary.getdocs('{@resource_seqid}')
</xsql:ref-cursor-function>
however what I get is the following
<page>
<rowset>
<row num="1">
<document>255044462D312E320A...</document>
</row>
</rowset>
</page>
instead of having the customer's browser starting up Acrobat.
It looks to me as if the data is the HEX of the BLOB:
25 %
50 P
44 D
46 F
2D -
31 1
2E .
32 2
0A Line Feed
This coincides with what previously reported
"BLOB data is serialized as hex bytes in XSU."
I understand that "XSQL has no built-in support for BLOB data, but it is extensible via user-written action handlers or user-written serializers."
I have the feeling that I should use an appropriate serializer for this purpose but it is not entirely clear to me how ...
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Looking forward your advice.
Regards and thanks
Luca

The following serializer
public void serialize(Document document, XSQLPageRequest xsqlpagerequest) throws java.lang.Throwable {
NodeList nodelist=document.getElementsByTagName("*");
xsqlpagerequest.setContentType("application/pdf");
OutputStream outputstream=xsqlpagerequest.getOutputStream();
String DocString = new String();
for (int loopIndex=0; loopIndex<=10; loopIndex++) {
display(nodelist.item(loopIndex),"");
if (loopIndex == 6 ) { DocString=displayStrings[loopIndex];}
byte abyte0[] = oracle.xml.sql.core.OracleXMLConvert.convertHexStringToByte(DocString);
outputstream.write(abyte0, 0, abyte0.length);
outputstream.flush();
works fine however the Internet Explorer 5.5 displays the native PDF code instead of firing the plugin... any suggestion ?

Where is Archived PDF stored in Adobe Database

For reporting and storage purposes I would like to store the PDFs received by the LiveCycle Server as a part of a workflow.
I would like to know where are the current archived PDFs stored ? or what would be the best way to store the PDF (as a PDF) in our Oracle Database ?
Thanks
Aditya

"You control where they are going to be stored"
Once the process is complete, in Workspace's tracking tab, where are the PDFs generated from ? If they are generated on the fly, I would like to know how do the Digital Signatures show ? I thought the DocumentForm variable saves the document as is.
"Use the JDBC service to store content in a database."
Is Adobe currently implementing this funtionality ?
"You can also store it in content space, which would give you content management like capabilities."
Can you please ellaborate ....

How do I render a PDF stored in interMedia object?

I have a pdf stored in an interMedia object and would like to simply render it to the browser. If I drop an <adf:render> tag for it, it creates a hyperlink for it. I'd like it to simply display it.
That is, say I call my page like this:
ShowMeThePDF?Key=<<rowkeystr here>>
How can I get it to simply render it in that page or forward to something to render it, whatever?
CONFUSED.

Hi,
There are a couple of ways to do it, the usual is to use the url from the <adf:render> tag, how like you I've run into the issue where you actually want to redirect straight to the PDF. As yet I haven't found a way to get the rendered URL from the adf:render tag to work.
The solution I've had working for a while is to use a servlet or jsp (servlet recommended) which sends PDF headers and just dumps the bytes to the browser, it's worked wonderfully well, the itext website has examples you can adapt [http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/general/webapp/index.html#JSP]
Ideally, I'd like to just use adf's ordDeliverMedia servlet as you're trying to do but I haven't been able to get it working standalone either. I expect the cache id on the rendered urls refers to the memory/session/somethin cache of the file which is created when the tag is encountered on the page. That being the case I'm at a loss on how one can manipulate it from the model pages .. same with the BI Graphs...
It would be really great if oracle put up some more functional examples of ordmedia usage...and let the filename of the downloaded be renamed...

Why were my PDFs so small in Megabytes size?

Hi,
Just something that has been bugging me - I recently sent 64 pages of a magazine to the printers with each page exported as a seperate pdf using the press quality preset. I was surprised and alarmed at the small file sizes of the pdfs - many pages were less than 3 or 4 megabytes. I phoned the printer and he confirmed evertyhing was ok but I still had a sleepless night worrying all the graphics would print lo-res or something else had gone horribly wrong.
Given the magazine pages were larger than a4 and contained plenty of pics, how did the pdfs end up so small? I'm used to working with a4 and a3 sized hi-res graphics in photoshop that can often be 40 or 50 mbs or more alone.
I'm not complaing at the small file sizes - I'm just curious as to how it can be so.

OK if you use the latest versions with the Adobe RIP you don't need to flatten but the real world facts are that not every one has it or can afford it. I know I'll offend some of the regular posters here, but it's simply not possible for us to say 'use another printer' because some of us are printers! And we can't afford to upgrade every few years.
If you can except this.

Tell me, what's the advantage of sending a PDF that is not flattened? You have every benefit of the other joboptions except the ease of editing. IF your going to a prepress that does use a TRUE PDF workflow, what's the loss in using X1A. But if you happen to send it to a printer that does not, they have to flatten your work. And whether anyone wants to admit it or not, things happen during flattening that cant be explained (at least not by me). Yes its VERY rare, but rare is too often in this business.
I don't see the foolishness in sending my file with the least chance of error just because i COULD send it a newer way.
And just to clarify
I wrote:

This is by no means due to any persons lack of skill or ability. IF you doubt this check into the CS4 fix concerning nested embedded fonts. This issue actually caused me some very real trouble back in December / January... after hours of debate with Adobe techs, I was told it was a Quark problem.
Im not an "old dog" nor am I the type to remain using "archaic" or "foolish" methods... If someone can tell me why I would benefit from using the X-4 standards, ill change. But as of now the flattened versions seem much safer with very little reason not to use them. (When I have to edit a file, I'm not going to bother asking for someone to change how they make a PDF, I'm going to ask for natives. So please don't note the editability.)
