It is not working working properly
And if it works then also it not the actual solution.
i want that when i double click the text item (in which the filename is written), that file should be opened in Acrobat Reader.

Note: in text item item only filename is entered & its path is picked from a variable in which i have stored the whole path i.e. where that file resides

Hi Ashish,

I have the same problem with the file opening pdf from forms 6, although in fact what I need is to recover data of the file, already I open it, but I cannot recover data, you can help me I am using package DDE.

look:

filename := 'C:\file.pdf';
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe'||' '||filename,DDE.APP_MODE_MAXIMIZED);

ConvID := DDE.Initiate('acroview','control');

DDE.Execute(ConvID,'[DocFind(H:file.pdf),TOTAL,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE]',1000);

--here oracle marks to error NON ORACLE EXCEPTION

not that I can need or that this bad one. I thank for much the aid.

Did you use 'message;pause;' pairs to determine which line is failing? Is this your first form? Is this a new Oracle Forms installation?

Hi David,

Thanks for the aid.

I have put a message to exactly know the line in which it marks error, it is not my first form, but the first time that attempt to recover data of a file pdf, and is not new my installation of forms.

I have a idea, to keep the file like .txt since if I can open the file, but marks the same error to me. The line that use is the following one:

DDE.Execute(ConvID,'[DocOpen(C:\ORIGINAL.pdf)]',1000);
DDE.Execute(ConvID,'[DocSaveAs(C:\ORIGINAL.pdf, C:\nuevo.txt)]',1000);

Greetings!

Remember that you have to either duplicate the 'message' command or follow it with a 'pause' command to get the 'real' message to display.

Please post all of your code. Also search this forum for 'pdf'. There are many threads covering the display of pdfs.

Hi David,

Again, thanks.

The error that marks to me is:

Now with respect to the code, he is everything what I have because what interests to me or what I need is to recover data of a file pdf, but still profit not to save the file like .txt

I repeat, please post all the code in your trigger and specify on which line it fails. Please use the 'message;pause;' pair method to determine the line which is failing.

Searching this forum for 'dde.app_begin' returned http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/404889/67467/?srch=DDE.App_Begin#msg_404889 Try this alternate method of determining the path to 'acrobat.exe'.

Let's go back just a bit, have you added new code to this form? Perhaps a new library call? Did you do a Ctrl-Shft-K (Compile All) before Ctrl-t (Generate)?

Hi,
I do Ctrl-Shft-K (Compile All), but my problem follow.

I don't added new code or library. Some other idea, my form if it open acrobat, but what it does not work is the DocSaveAs

Thanks a lot.

Googling 'DocSaveAs' found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.word.document.saveas(VS.80).aspx and http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=6647 and http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=6636 plus others in the Acrobat User Community Forums.
