XML Publisher PDF DOCUMENT MERGER

Hi,
The Report POXPRPOP (Print Purchase order Report) has been customized with XML publisher for PDF output. The RTF has been designed and it works well. Now I have to combine the two or more PO attachment with above XML report output and produces single PDF as output at concurrent request. The PO attachment is BLOB (PDF file, Word doc). For this I found that in the XML Publisher User Guide that we make this as post processing event through PDFDocumentMerger API.
Could any one validate this and also suggest if any other best approach to do this?
if you know more about this PDF document MErger could you know me how to stimulate this process?
Any help in this regard would appreciate.
Thanks,
Sai Krishna.

Hi,

Thanks,

PDF document merging - portrait/landscape

When I try to merge 2 pdf documents using the XML Publisher API's (PDFDocMerger), I notice that, if my second file is in landscape mode, after merging the content of second file is shown in portrait mode with data being chopped off from the page. I tried adding a new section at the end of first pdf doc in landscape mode, but this does not help.
I want the merged documents to retain the orientation of the page layout of the individual pdf''s. Is there a property I need to set.

Reader cannot create PDFs. You'd need to ask in the Acrobat Forum, as your scanner probably uses it to make the PDF.

Inline XML Publisher PDF rendered using IFRAME in Self Service

Hi,
We have created an XML Publisher Report (PDF) which renders inline in a SelfService Page.
When we click on the Save Icon in the IFRAME, The File Name is really long including the Applications URL, DBC File, File Name etc.
Ex: http___it21.marvell.com_8005_OA_HTML_xdo_doc_display.jsp_dbcName=it21_devt&fileName=MVL_HR_EMP_APPRAISAL_DETAIL-1163094244_out.pdf.pdf&mFileLength=50068&p_output=_devt_prod_prodcomn_html_fwk_t_MVL_HR_EMP_APPRAISAL_DETAIL-1163094244_out.pdf
The requirement is to change the File Name to PerformanceAppraisal.pdf
Below is the code used to render the inline PDF.
- The XMLString has the complete XML generated.
public void renderInlinePDF(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean, OAApplicationModule am, String XMLString, String templateName)
System.out.println("---MVLReviewPerformanceXMLUtil.renderInlinePDF----------------- XMLString "+ XMLString);
System.out.println("---MVLReviewPerformanceXMLUtil.renderInlinePDF----------------- templateName "+ templateName);
BlobDomain xmlData = new BlobDomain(XMLString.getBytes() );
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- xmlData : "+xmlData.toString(), 4);
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------------------------------------------------------------- ", 4);
String redirectURL = null;
try
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- redirectURL 1 : "+redirectURL, 4);
redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(
pageContext
,"XXGT"
,templateName
,xmlData.getBinaryStream()
,"PDF"
,null
,"en"
,"US"
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- redirectURL 2 : "+redirectURL, 4);
System.out.println("---MVLReviewPerformanceXMLUtil---------------------------- redirectURL = "+ redirectURL);
catch(Exception e )
throw new OAException("Error in redirect");
OAHTMLWebBean frame=(OAHTMLWebBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("IFRAME");
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- IFRAME is NULL"+frame, 4);
if (frame == null)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- IFRAME is NULL", 4);
OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean(pageContext,HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src",redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title","PerformanceReview");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("name","PerformanceReview");
OAWebBean iFramePlaceHolder = (OAWebBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("IFrameRegionPlaceHolder");
iFramePlaceHolder.addIndexedChild(outRegion);
// pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(pageContext, "------------- IFRAME AddIndexedChild", 4);

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sujay

Thanks Balusc!!
I have made use of your code to display PDF files in an IFRAME tag too!!! I just dint believe that this would be possible. Please just take a look at my JSP page.
<h:form id="CaseLookUp">
     <%
     String path = request.getContextPath()+"";
     out.print(path);
     %>
<iframe scrolling="auto" src="<%=path%>/imageServlet?file=D:\70-229 V5.pdf" width="80%" height="600" ></iframe>
     </h:form>

pls help me as i am not getting , how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Keerthana

Hi,
When we develop simple XML report also we used to get single data source either generated either from RDF or PL/SQL, in OAF XML data is coming from VO and XML Publisher API’s will process that data.
This approach works fine if you are having one VO, but if you are having two VOs then it is not possible (As per my understanding and comparing this scenario with simple XML publisher report).
I also faced same problem few months back, on my form I was having two VOs one for header and other for Lines and I have generate Report to show the data for both Headers and Lines. In my case I created a separate VO that was containing both Header and Line details and I was passing header Id to query that. I used query this VO only when someone clicks on “Print” button and it worked fine for me.

Pdf documents merging with each other

Hi all
I am facing a problem regarding writing pdf documents using iText. I have an application that generates different pdf documents using a common function that generates the pdf. Problem occurs when two or more people generate pdfs. Most of the times the pdfs get merged with each other, which is a serious problem. Please help me regarding this.
Thanks

sounds like this fuction of yours is making use of a static variable or two.

How to publish PDF documents with working Quicktime movies?

I am pursuing the idea of creating an eBook format document that features quicktime movies.
At present I've imported Quicktime movies into my Pages 2.0.2 document, and they play perfectly within the Pages application. But, when I export the document as PDF, the movies end up as static images.
Earlier posts in this forum suggest Adobe Acrobat Professional will do this (not a Mac version yet). I am wondering if there are any other solutions that I need to consider?
Any thoughts?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

There is a Mac Version of Adobe Acrobat which does this. There was a hiatus when there was some incompatibility between the MacOS, QuickTime and Adobe Acrobat of the time, but as far as I know, everything works fine today.
You may have problems starting with a Pages document though. I think InDesign is the best starting point.

Xml publisher pdf layout in ebs is incorrect

Hi,
I am doing a pdf report for a pre-printed layout.
My layout has to be exact for all pages.
i have a grouping on top of my layout..
when runing it in ebs the first page on top has less space , and the other pages has more space on top of the page.
but the 2nd, 3rd, etc... has the exact layout
can it be the G (grouping) on top of my page that is causing this problem?
and how would i solve this??

Can someone on Apps 11.5.10.2 who has applied the patch (I believe it upgrades the server version to 5.6.3) check and see if the behavior I described is the same on their system?
Or can someone tell me if this is expected?
Thanks again.
