Apex 4.2 Batch Print or download the PDF version of the interactive report

I'm under Apex 4.2 base Oracle 12 c. I have an Apex interactive report that includes a column with an icon clickable pdf that if clicked, open this PDF in Adobe Reader and the end user can view and then send it to print to their local printer. It is necessary to allow users to select one or more lines in the IR report and send the document directly to print, to avoid having to do each print individually. What would be the best approach for this, it is possible via the Apex or should I do somehow in the database? End users are widely distributed geographically and have their own printers. Simply download all the pdf in a batch of the apex in the browser page, then the end user may use their own pc to multiple selection and send for printing. Any direction would be appreciated.

Simple answer: No.

This is due to the HTML security and the concept of a Client-Server Architecture (which is also linked to security).  This has nothing to do with the APEX.

If it was possible, then whenever you have seen an advertisement on the web, advertising would 'print a coupon for you' using your personal printer.

(and coupons that they print are Web-based or a PDF file that you have open, and then click 'Print')

Now - if employees had a "shared printer" that they could print via centralized print Server ...

That would be another story.

  • Excel not downloaded in the same order as on the interactive report

    I have download to Excel on the interactive report, it is not sorted in the same way? Can I fix this?

    Hi Doug,.

    Could be a quick solution to this solution, you can have a download link on the header of the report area and that it points to a page that contains the same report with the csv model.

    Download CSV Report 
    
    where 3 is the page number for csv output report.
    *replace click by onclick
    

    or if you want more control over the report, you can create a button on the interactive report region and at the click of the button run a process to download a csv output file.

    Put dummy code for creating csv file

    DECLARE
    CURSOR cEmp IS
    SELECT
         Eno,Ename,SAL,DEPT
    FROM emp_table ORDER BY 1 DESC, 2 DESC,4;
    BEGIN
         owa_util.mime_header('application/octet', FALSE );
            htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Employee.csv"');
            owa_util.http_header_close;
    --Printer Header Row
         htp.p('Employee '  || ',' || 'Name'   || ',' || 'Salary'  || ','|| 'Department' ||  chr(13));

    Also, you can disable the download report link in the interactive report menu by going to reports-> Search bar attribute->, under include in the Actions Menu: uncheck the download option.

    Hi, I added a column in the query to the interactive report region and it does not appear in the designer of the Page, as it is not available when running in the list of columns through the action of the report menu.

    In the 4 apex when the query was changed directly a message was generated with the details of the new or modified columns, but the Apex 5 when I change the query and save, nothing happens.

  • Calculations in APEX 4.2 on the interactive report and the update form

    Hello

    I know that people have asked similar questions, but I was not able to do this work. I'm doing some fairly simple math (addition, multiplication) in an application. I have 2 fields (VALUE_A, VALUE_B). I can get the addition and multiplication work in the interactive report, but I also need that it works correctly in the form of update. I also need update form to work dynamically so that if the values are changed, the correction calculated response is shown immediately on the update form and then reflected in the interactive report. I tried the dynamic action, with and without javascript without result. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Apex 4.0 how use the interactive report filter feature?

    Hi all
    Sorry for the nub question, but if there is a way to create and save 'report' with the filter condition using a function?
    What I want to do is to create an interactive table called TASK report.
    Table has two columns I want to use for filtering:
    FDate - DATE - date
    TDate - DATE - to date
    Then, I need to create multiple saved reports:
    last week the tasks = where FDate between sysdate - 7 AND sysdate...
    last month tasks = where FDate between ADD_MONTH(sysdate,-1) AND sysdate...
    but,
    Interactive report filter does not accept sysdate or calls to functions ADD_MONTH.
    Is there an easy way to configure this feature?
    TIA
    Thomas

    Sorry for the double post...

    Published by: thomaso on August 6, 2010 12:04

    Hi Thomas,

    Take a look at the type of filter 'Row' in the interactive reports filter dialog box. This allows more dynamic filters, such as those involving SYSDATE or ADD_MONTHS calls. See also the next thread for some more details on this:

    Re: Interactive report - line conditional highlighting date function

    It will be useful.

    Hello Christina,

    Sorry Wizard, you need to use is the "form > form on Table with Report", because the normal create assistant interactive report allows you to enter a query.
    Once you have completed the wizard, take a look at the generated SQL statement (must use the dbms_lob.getlength) and the value in "number Format / Date" for this column.

  • How to display data in the interactive report without colon (:)) column

    Dear gurus of the Apex,

    I am a beginner and you just create an application for the Apex of a worksheet. I created a list of named values and used in a box against a field in the page creation form default 3.

    When I selected several values in my box on the form, the data in the interactive report appear as a single line with a colon separating the values selected as follows: dog: Cat: bird

    What I would like is to have the data appear in the interactive report in a list like this multiline column:

    Dog
    CAT
    Bird

    I can work around this problem by modifying the SQL code in the Source region of the definition of the area of the report (interactive 1 Page by default) to replace the semicolon by < br >

    SELECT replace ("PETS_CHOSEN", ":","< br / > ')"PETS_CHOSEN", OF"MYAPP"Note: this is not format correctly in the display. I have replace the colon with a html br

    This works, but there seems to be a hack to me. I guess I missed an option simple setting somewhere, but I can't.

    The other problem with this solution is that when I export the report to Excel, that ship's dog < br > cat < br > Bird, which is seems worse than the colon.

    Thank you

    Published by: mnrussel on February 16, 2009 04:13

    Hi Morgan,.

    I think you have at least two possibilities:

    1. replace the colon with "," (comma and space) - kind of reasonable on the screen and export

    2 create a second page that has the same report but use it "export: csv" model. Create a manual link to this page to replace the standard export binding. When these pages of the report are requested, they download immediately instead of display. So you can use commas in this one and < br > tags in the report to the screen version

  • Filter column position of the interactive report

    Hi all!

    First of all, sorry my English.

    I have a problem with filters standart on the interactive report column heading. Version 4.0.2 APEX. It is interactive report based on the view. Nothing unusual - behavior and the default templates. I have also the region of filter on the page, and after user-press "apply" button my package variables to session state of filter. View used these values. It is worked and filtered interactive report. But when I try also to use the filters on the heading of the column that is nothing past. I have try the column type: report Standart column and display text. I have try the Filter Type column: by default based on the Type of column and the list defined by the use of... Contain. Nothing, as no filter exists at all. Filtering with worked as usual action buttons. I think that this problem in a SEPARATE implicit in this filter. I know that there are quantitative limitation of DISTINCT values with column header filter, but I have nothing in the filter. And even I have type the value and press ENTER, nothing happened. Columns with Date type is fine, but String and number does not.

    There is no work around? Thank you.

    Are you compensation/reactivate the interactive link (button, breadcrumb) report? Reference: a link to the interactive reports

    As clearing (CIR) /resetting (IRB) interactive report leads to clear the filters applied to the interactive report in the session active.

    Note: Filters / other attributes of the action menu applied to the interactive report are specific session, user may choose to save it as a saved report interactive and developer can choose to save as the main report.

    For more information about interactive reports see the Oracle APEX documentation and tutorials available on Oracle Learning Library like this:

  • How to add the action button for each column in the interactive report

    Hi all

    I'm new in APEX, so pls forgive my question, if it's simple, but I am struggling with this problem for days now. I have interactive report and you want to add button in each row. What I want to do with this button is the following:

    1. to execute some stored procedure in need of that particular line item values

    2. returns a (id)

    3. go in another page in the application by passing the value out of the procedure (id).

    and I'm not find the way to do it. I tried now means:

    1. If I add the link of the column, so I can refer to the value of the current row, I don't know how to call the stored procedure and perform actions of rest I need

    2. If I add the button to the region, I do not know how to reference the values in column of a particular line of the interactive report...

    and I'm stuck...

    I just forms and global report and probably still think the "wrong" way .

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Please update your forum profile with a real handle instead of 'user3253917 '.

    I request of the company: there is a customer who always orders the same standard product orders (always order the same products, fair amount is different). I want to make it simple for the user: instead of retyping the command (master and few records details every time yet) I want to copy selected command (copy of the master record and record details) so that the user will only change date order (in master record) and amount fields in record details).

    So, in order to give him:

    1. the user must be able to choose the order in which I would copy (at page 4), select it,

    2. I need to make PL/SQL procedure to insert the new master record (order) and a few record details (order_items) (copy of the order/order_items chosen in step 1)

    3. navigate the user to page 29, where the master account at stage 2 insterted appears, so that the user can change the date and quantities.

    Any solution will be highly appreciated! Thank you very much!!!

    In simple terms:

    1. Add a link to column "Command copies" in the report on page 4, which sets the COPY request and passes the order ID on page 29.
    2. On page 29, create a process before header, sequenced to be the first process executed and conditional on REQUEST be EXEMPLARY, which creates a new order as a copy of the order with the ID from page 4 and returns the ID of the new order in the PK command ID of 29 page element.
  • ToolTip for the interactive report column data item

    I have a report that includes the column (CURRENT_UNIT). I would like to be able to add a "ToolTip". I did it before using a classic report by the following (borrowed from another one of the APEX):

    Add this CSS

    {a.rapxxx}

    position: relative;

    z index: 24;

    {text-decoration: none}

    a.rapxxx:hover {z-index: 25; background-color: #ff0}

    a.rapxxx span {display: none}

    duration of a.rapxxx:hover {/ * poster only over time: hover state * /}

    Display: block;

    position: absolute;

    Left: 20px;

    Width: 20em;

    border: 1px blue solid dark;

    text-align: center;

    background-color: lightyellow;

    color: Blue;

    }

    And on the SHAPE of COLUMN layout, add this:

    < a href = "#" class = "rapxxx" > #CURRENT_UNIT # < span > #UNIT_NM # </span > < /a >

    But when I try it on the interactive report, I don't get the hover tooltip.  The href attribute is displayed correctly, just, I don't get the value of the span.

    Can someone help me please?
