@Ola. It looks like a Windows 8 problem.
Are you saying that you can read a pdf generated by as_pdf_mini, but not a pdf generated by as_pdf3?
And if you try to read it with acrobat reader.

Hi Anton,
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. I’m using the standard windows 8 Reader.

Hello everyone,
I’m having a problem viewing pdf files generated by as_pdf 3. I don’t have this problem when I generate a file using as_pdf_mini.
I thought this was a Windows 8.1 problem, however, I can’t view the files on Windows 7 or Windows XP either. Has anyone come across this problem? I’d really appreciate any help.
I’m using Oracle 11g Release 11.2.0.4.0 – 64bit.
The error I’m getting is as follows:
“There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired”. This is the code I’m running:
begin
as_pdf3.init;
as_pdf3.write( ‘Minimal usage’ );
as_pdf3.save_pdf;
end;
Thanks,
Ola.

Hello there,
I’ve just done some more testing as follows:
1. Ran the above code from SQL Plus on Linux
2. Copied it across to my PC using WinSCP.
3. Copied it from my PC to my tablet
The result is the same, I’m unable to open the file using my Nexus 7 tablet.
I repeated the whole process using as_pdf_mini and I was able to view the file.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ola.

It is possible, I have seen it done in oracle reports (srw.set_hyperlink). I don’t know how you can do it with the as_pdf3 package.

@Sietze. That’s not possible.

So what would be the method to control line wrap ?, is there anything we can do ?
query2table fits are requirements almost perfectly except that it pushes long text into the next column. Any clues/help would be appreciated.

By: Anton Scheffer
@sunny. You have to write your own line wrapping

Any idea’s where I would begin doing this ?, would it mean editing as_pdf3 ?
↧
By: Anton Scheffer
@sunny. You could change the package procedure cursor2table. Or you could write your own version of that procedure. See for instance the source of this Apex plugin, http://apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/process-type-plugin/reports-2-pdf_140.html. But it won’t be easy

I’ve downloaded the 2 packages from APEX site, I dont suppose you could point me to the line/procedure where the line-wrap is occurring ?
Apologies for the naive questions but I am new to this.

Hi Anton,
I added some functionality to your package, for example:
column formatting, record writing on multiple lines, wrapping text, breaking data on the first field and more.
If someone are interested, I have posted in my blog with a minimum of documentation in English and Italian.

Hello! Thank you for your work, Anton. I really like it
Unfortunately I cant’t neither open (via Acrobat reader XI) nor delete the file I get after executing your example. It seems that Oracle does not close some process used during generation of the file. Did I miss a call to some function that kills the process?
When I kill the file handle manually I can read the file. So your package really works!

This code is amazing and easy to use. Has anyone played around with adding bookmarks?
Thanks.

Hi Anton…. Just found this package which looks ideal for my needs. And a great piece of work by you.. However as per a couple of other posts, where do I start? i.e. how/where should I I run the code, and most basic, where does the PDF go / turn up?
Ideally I want to create a PDF document from data in a table, and have the PDF emailed directly from the database? and possibly also stored in the database. How would I invoke the PL/SQL to achieve this?

My Oracle database has NLS_CHARACTERSET = RUSSIAN_RUSSIA.CL8MSWIN1251. I do upload the query result that contains Russian text in pdf using your package as_pdf3.
begin
as_pdf3.init;
as_pdf3.query2table( ‘select * from HWI_ZAV’, p_headers => as_pdf3.tp_headers( ‘LOC_NAME’, ‘PODR_NAME’));
as_pdf3.save_pdf;
end;
PDF file is created successfully, but Russian characters in it are displayed as “????????.”
How do I get Russian characters in the proper encoding, so that they are displayed properly?
P.S.: Sorry for my English
