Error opening PDF downloaded from interactive report

Hi - I get an error when opening a PDF file that is downloaded from an interactive report.
I saw on the forum that it could be linked to the size of the file, but I tried
this out on 10-line results (1 k files) and it's always a problem.

I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:

File does not begin with '% PDF -'

and

Adobe Reader could not open < Filename > .pdf because it is not supported
type of file, either because the file has been damaged (for example, he was sent as an email
attachment and has not been correctly decoded).

If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:

File does not begin with '% PDF -'

Other users have experienced the same problem. Download in csv format and open in Excel work very well.

Do I need to have a special print attributes for this? I don't think... I'm just using the default values
(response header = report parameters, header content-disposition is attachment).

Ideas?

Thank you
Carol

You have a print server configuration for your reports? (FOP, Cocoon, BI Publisher)?

  • Add buttons in the download area (interactive report)

    Hi all

    Is it possible to add more buttons to download region interactive report, such as PDF 1, PDF 2 ...?

    I used OC4J and FOP (print server) to download the PDF document to test, but it is so limited. When I use column break and export it in PDF format, instead of to see a break, the PDF file displays a regular report.

    Therefore, I think the best idea is to create two buttons and link to another page and do what I want, like PLPDF.

    Hi Eric,.

    a nice way to do it is to use the "IR customs action Menu" plugin (http://apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/dynamic-action-plugin/ir-actions-menu-item_171.html), you can add the extra menu in the menu actions in your report HERE.

  • Error in the export of interactive report in PDF format

    Hello

    I use the APEX and an interactive report, trying to export using download | PDF format. The table and the corresponding report includes only text fields. Database character set is UTF-8. So far I have not been able to get a PDF file that can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Each file fails with message as "Adobe Reader could not open nomdefichier.pdf, because it is not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded). This happens for every report I've tried so far. If I export the report to CSV format, all are ok.

    Y at - it a bug known with download PDF of APEX?

    TIA

    Do you have a printer (Bi Publisher or FOP/Cocoon) server configuration? If not, then you will NOT be able to generate a PDF file...

  • Error opening pdf file, but then it still opens

    I have problems when I open a pdf file. I use the code below to open a pdf file.

    on mouseUp me
    Acro = bafindapp ("pdf")
    If acro = empty then
    acrofile = me.pPDF
    alert 'this program was unable to find suitable for your system software to open a PDF document. It will open www.adobe.com, where you can download a free viewer.
    goToNetPage " " http://www.Adobe.com "

    on the other
    Open the moviePath me.pPDF & "Resource\" with acro
    end if

    end

    When it comes on a button, adobe reader software will open, but gives an error stating that "there was an error opening this document. This file is not found. »


    When I hit the button on the advice of the error, the PDF opens.

    No idea why I get this message even if the pdf file opens after rejecting the message would be appreciated.

    The reason why I assumed, or asked, if it was only Windows is due to your use of the forward slash as the separator file. To make the cross-platform script try the following:

    on mouseUp me  acro = baFindApp("pdf")  if ( acro = EMPTY ) then    alert "This program was unable to find a suitable program on your system to open a PDF document. It will open www.adobe.com, where you can download a free viewer"    goToNetPage "http://www.adobe.com"  else    mPath = _movie.path    tFile = mPath & "Resource" & mPath.char[length(mPath)] & me.pPDF    if baFileExists(tFile) then      OK = baOpenFile(tFile, "normal")      if ( OK < 32 ) then        -- see docs for numbers and their meaning        alert "Error opening file:" && OK      end if    else      alert "File not found:" &RETURN& tFile    end if  end ifend

    Your CSV file using "comma" as the separator. Though Excel CSV file separator is 'semicolon '.

    Try to define 'CSV separator' = ';' in the section 'report attributes' - 'download '.

  • Cannot open Lightroom downloaded from CC

    I downloaded last week. It does not open. Control Panel says it isn't here. Said networkit is on is not available, BUT I can see the .exe in my records, as well as modules. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I click the icon and a timer appears and disappears and nothing happens. Tried to open it from the folder using .exe, but nothing happens. No error messages except if I go to the control panel and try to fix it and he said: this is not. When I open the start menu, only the Catlalogs show so something apparently did not download properly. I can't uninstall it. I can't open it. I am completely frustrated. Watched a lot of tutorials and it looks like a wonderful product. Photoshop CS6 CC works very well. Can not understand why it does not open, run, and seems invisible to repair or uninstall, even when I corrected where it was. He opened once but only the catalog. Then nothing.

    ANY help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Thank you. I got it running without doing so. But I have more problems now with PS CC. But this is the wrong forum. Thank you!

  • Unexpected changes in opening pdf download with 37.0.1

    This is my first time asking a questions, so I can't do quite right. In any case, after you download the update on 37.0.1, look at a PDF has become different. I now get a separate download window (which I did not before) and when I go to the downloaded pdf file, I now have to answer several questions until I'm able to get the drive to run. In my view, a PDF file is just automatically open in a new tab without having to do anything. Is it possible to restore this behavior? Thanks for your help.

    Please, try the following and see if it works:

    1. go in the preferences of firefox by typing "subject: preferences ' in the address bar.
    2. choose the tab 'applications' on the left.
    3. type 'pdf' in the search box that appears.
    4. you should get something similar to the attached screenshot. Click the menu drop-down and choose 'Preview in Firefox' like action.

  • How to open Zip downloaded from firefox in the android platform

    as above. I downloaded a file on the net via a link and its an ebook in ZIP format. The android version of Firefox refuses to allow me to do anything with it

    Hello

    To open ZIP files, you must download an application for the opening of the zipper. In one, you can use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winzip.android

    Then, when you install that, open it and go to your download directory. It must either be in sdcard0 and sdcard sdcard1, then proceed to download.

    Once you find, tap and hold the file, and then click unpack here and it will extract the files in the ZIP folder.

    I would like to know if it works!

  • Interactive report and branch back JS error

    I get errors in applications where I combine search engine with interactive report.

    Search form, I got hit research and management in the definition of application when this button is clicked.

    After that, I show area with interactive report (condition is "request = Expression 1"), but after that I'm getting various JavaScript errors when I start using report functions.

    One of them is:

    http://shrani.si/f/37/fv/4NxVgKRO/ireporterror.png

    I get this error when start using the interactive report features (Select column, filter, download,...).

    I tested in all browsers (IE, Chrome, Firefox).

    I created a sample application:

    Test of IReport

    http://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/Apex/f?p=23423423:1

    Workspace = carine

    User name = [email protected]

    Password = carine

    The problem is with the type of condition on the report. You sense that she only show when the query is set to "Search FOR", but this causes calls ajax to failure - where the javascript errors. It's a little a thorny problem honestly. It's probably because ajax calls do not have this defined demand value (they probably their own value request to work, more a request value is not persistent in any case) that they simply can't.

    To work around that, I copied the page to page 5 and used instead something to test in condition. Then knit popups and you don't get more of these javascript errors.

  • Cannot open a PDF file from a link in another PDF file

    Hello, I'm having a strange problem on some of adobe readers my users. (2 users on PC windows 8.1)

    I created a "choser app' (see image below) which is essentially a 'choser from one easy page" for the different "forms", I created which worked perfectly until this week. Basically, there are 12 buttons and when the user press one of these buttons, the form chosen live / app opens that they can then fill out and send required title.

    However the 2 users who have problems, cannot open forms at all. They click on the button, but nothing happens at all. Software Adobe reader fits all just not as there are links to all.

    Choser 'app' works on all my PC users except 2, so I know it isn't an error in location or make updates etc... Someone at - it clues or ideas.

    I tried to go into preferences - manager of trust - internet access from PDF files - change the settings - PDF allow to access Web sites... but this made no difference to all the.

    Thank you

    is not serious I fixed it. If anyone else is having the same problem, so I fixed it by doing the following:

    Enhanced - Security Edition-Preferences

    Uncheck "enable protected at startup mode" - restart adobe reader software

    Oddly, I had not to uncheck it on any of my other PC users (Windows 7 & 8.1), but was necessary for some reason any on those trouble with opening PDF links from the 'app PDF selector.
