Integrate a PDF Viewer in Oracle Forms

Below is a sample code showing how to integrate our java bean jPDFViewer in Oracle Forms.

The implementation class of the Bean Item


    oracle.forms.ms.jPDFsimple

The methods you can call

Register the bean
fbean.register_bean('BL.BEAN', 1, 'oracle.forms.ms.jPDFsimple');
 This is the very first operation you have to do.

Set the URL/File
fbean.invoke( hBean, 1, ‘loadDocument’, 'URL');
e.g. :
fbean.invoke( hBean, 1, ‘loadDocument’, 'http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oid/pdf/internet_directory_ds_10gr3.pdf');

The sample dialog
  • Download and unzip pdfvieweroracle.zip file. It contains the following files: jpdf.jar, jPDFViewer.jar, jPDFsimple.java, jpdfviewer.fmb.
  • Copy jpdf.jar and jPDFViewer.jar in your /forms/java/ folder
  • Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg configuration file:
        archive=frmall.jar, jPDFViewer.jar, jpdf.jar
  • Notice that we update the archive tag and not the archive_jini tag because this bean was tested with the Sun Java plug-in 1.6.
  • Open the jpdfviewer.fmb module (Oracle Forms 10.1.2)
  • Compile all and run the module

    The .jar files jpdf.jar and jPDFViewer.jar must be signed with the same certificate.
    The jar files provided are not signed
    .
