AS_PDF3_V5 new features
Hello everyone, a few days ago I posted the SQL for create PDF document directly from PL/SQL, based on original package by Anton Scheffer.Now I've added some new features (version 3.5.2):
- Procedure query2table now accept CLOB query fields, treat this as images and locate it into array of cells, using horizontal and vertical alignment and risizing if specified.
- New procedere query2labels that work like query2table but dispose record into multiple columns and rows. The scope is to create sheets with the same label with different contents like a mailing list.
- Begin of multilanguage errore messages (English or Italian).
- Added offsetY parameter to columns format type, it works like offsetX, but obviously acts on the ordered. Used in combination with cellRow and tRowHeight, allows the positioning of each individual field in an independent manner.
- Added a simplified call to query2table and query2label whit colors parameter as a simpliest list of hex rgb colors comma separated,
for example '000000,e0ffff,000000,000000,ffffff,000000,000000,d0d0d0,000000' .
2016-05-11. bugfix on callingh query2table with p_color parameter set to null
2016-09-06 bugfix in recursive call of write (for text on multiple lines)

AS_PDF3_V5 nuove funzionalità
Salve a tutti, qualche giorno fa ho postato il codice SQL per creare documenti PDF direttamente da PL/SQL, basato sul package originale di Anton Scheffer.Ora ho aggiunto alcune nuove funzionalià:
- Procedure query2table: ora la query acetta campi CLOB, li tratta come immagini e li posiziona all'interno della griglia, con la possibilità di allineamento orizzontale, verticale e ridimensionamento se specificato.
- Nuova procedere query2labels: funziona come query2table, ma dispone i record su colonne e righe miltiple. Lo scopo è di realizare fogli di etichette un po' come farebbe un programma di mailing list per la stampa delle etichette indirizzi.
- Inizio della gestione degli errori personalizzati con messaggi in Italiano e Inglese.
- Aggiunto il parametro offsetY al record dei formati colonne, funziona come offsetX, ma ovviamente agisce sulle ordinate. Usato in combinazione con cellRow e tRowHeight, permette di posizionare ogni singolo campo in modo indipendente.
- Aggiunta una chaimata più semplice per query2table e query2label dove il parametro dei colori è una semplice lista di colori rgb separata da virgol,
esempi: '000000,e0ffff,000000,000000,ffffff,000000,000000,d0d0d0,000000' .
2016-05-11. bugfix con parametro p_color null
2016-09-06 bugfix nelle chiamate ricorsive della procedura write (avvengono per il testo su più righe)
Come sempre commenti e correzioni saranno graditi.

Ciao Valerio, innanzitutto complimenti vivissimi per le implementazioni sul codice che hai apportato.
RispondiEliminaTrovo che questo package sia molto utile .. ho fatto un po' di test inserendo immagini e tabelle e i risultati sono entusiasmanti.
Ti segnalo un potenziale bug (che magari hai già riscontrato e risolto) nella procedura setCellFont dove il parametro p_vMode viene passato ma non testato per cui il font della testata (header) rimane sempre quello della tabella.
Ho aggiunto questo test:
if upper1(p_vMode)='T' then
v_vFontName:=nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).tFontName,g_fonts(g_current_font).family) ;
v_vFontStyle:=upper(substr(nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).tFontStyle, g_fonts(g_current_font).style),1,1));
v_nFontSize:=nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).tFontSize,g_fonts(g_current_font).fontsize);
else
v_vFontName:=nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).hFontName,g_fonts(g_current_font).family) ;
v_vFontStyle:=upper(substr(nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).hFontStyle, g_fonts(g_current_font).style),1,1));
v_nFontSize:=nvl(t_formats(p_nIndex).hFontSize,g_fonts(g_current_font).fontsize);
end if;
e ora funziona correttamente.
Inoltre, ho aggiunto il parametro p_Interline alla procedura query2table che trovo sia utile per avere il controllo dell'interlinea (altrimenti fissa a 1.2).
Sarebbe possibile, secondo te, aggiungere alla procedura query2table anche il parametro p_startY che permetta di posizionare la tabella con più libertà sul piano cartesiano?
Grazie infinite.

Ciao Giuseppe,
Eliminaprima di tutto ti ringrazio per i complimenti e per i suggerimenti.
Ho aggiornato il file del package con le modifiche che hai indicato, incluso il parametro p_startY
(se ti interessa vedere dove cercal il commento #Valr 2014.09.18 add p_startY parameter).
Grazie per la collaborazione
Valerio
Ciao Valerio,
RispondiEliminati segnalo un bug nella procedura write.
procedure write
( p_txt in varchar2
, p_um VARCHAR :='pt' -- Add by ValR
, p_x in number := null
, p_y in number := null
, p_line_height in number := null
, p_start in number := null -- left side of the available text box
, p_width in number := null -- width of the available text box
, p_alignment in varchar2 := NULL
)
quando richiama se stessa nei vari rami IF non viene passato il secondo parametro p_um e quindi viene sollevato un errore.
Ho corretto la procedura nel mio ambiente di test mettendo in tutti i punti p_um come secondo parametro e mi sembra ok.
Sto cercando di capire se c'è un modo per gestire il testo "full justified". Magari a te viene in mente come fare.
Grazie
Giuseppe
Ti ringrazio per la segnalazione, ho corretto il file allegato al post seguendo le tue indicazioni.
EliminaCiao
Valerio
How you can share code with so many bugs?
RispondiEliminaLet's take the procedure colorTable, at the beginning is reference to uninitialized collection
function colorTable(p_vColors in varchar2) return tp_colors is
t_colors tp_colors;
i pls_integer;
v_vColors varchar2(100);
v_vColor varchar2(6);
v_vColorDef varchar2(6);
BEGIN
t_colors(1):='000000';
t_colors.extend(9-t_colors.count);
v_vColors:=p_vColors;
,,,,,
Thanks for the tip, and I apologize for the bug.
EliminaYou can correct the error by replacing
BEGIN
t_colors (1): = '000000';
with this
BEGIN
t_colors: = tp_colors ('000000');
If you prefer you can re-download the files already corrected.
Sharing this package we have been identified and corrected the bug and have implemented some functionality requested by other users
Greetings

Hello,
RispondiEliminaI'm trying to use query2table but when I execute the proc, I'm facing ORA-06531: Reference to uninitialized collection
The proc says
as_pdf3.query2table(myquery, null, NULL, NULL, NULL, '2pt', 25, 0, 1.2, 530, null);
and I have set myquery before this line
Thanks for helping
Hi, I apologize for the error that occurs because there are two calls to the procedure with different parameters.
Eliminawhen p_colors is zero is considered varchar2 and fails when attempts to convert it to a set of three colors.
I hope to patch it as soon as possible.
I have never encountered this error because usually specific colors to use, your example line becomes :
as_pdf3_v5.query2table(myquery,null,
as_pdf3_v5.tp_colors('000000','d0d0d0','000000',
'000000','ffffff','000000',
'000000','e0ffff','000000'),
null, null, 'pt', 25, 0, 1.2, 530, null
);
I
I do not have the ability to test at home (now is 9:50 pm) because I haven't an Oracle server, i will do it tomorrow morning from my office.
New version 3.5.11 solve your problem, remebre to use '' instead of null for p_colors parameter
EliminaHello! How can you put a word with word wrap in the header of the table? I have tried but it leaves the sides if I center it and if I align it to the right the word is cut off. I reviewed the code but did not know how to make an improvement. I appreciate your help!
RispondiEliminaHi Danielle,
Eliminacan you send me an example of your code ?

Hi Valerio
RispondiEliminathank you very much for your effort
i want to generate a pdf file from database which contains "Arabic text", when i use this package characters appear as (????????).
please is it possible to help me to make this package identify arabic characters and fonts.
i am really appreciated in advance.
Hi Khitam,
RispondiEliminaI'm not an expert, I just added some features to Anton Sheffer's package, and don't know all the technical details.
In example 4 shows the load_ttf_font function.
This function uses the WINDOWS-1252 codepage by default, if you have not already done so try to use a true type font that contains the characters in Arabic and to set the WINDOWS-1256.
Hello, i have two variables with dynamic text and set WRITE one after each other, but i got a problem when first one fill all page, then second one write its text over first one, how can identify when page is full?
RispondiEliminaThanks.
Hi Guarjila
Eliminayou can get current Y position calling thi function
as_pdf3_v5.get(as_pdf3_v5.c_get_y)
and page lower limit
as_pdf3_v5.get(as_pdf3_v5.c_get_page_height)-
as_pdf3_v5.get(as_pdf3_v5.c_get_margin_bottom)
I hope I was helpful
Hello Valerio, how are you doing?
RispondiEliminaFirst of all, thanks for the long support you've been giving to this package.
Si I'm creating a simple table and I have some trouble with the headers, some of my text is big, and to fit I need to set a big width, is there any way to fit the text in the header by increasing the row height? I already did this but it doesn't fit. Is there anyway to do this?
Hi
Eliminamaybe I didn't understand.
Have you used querytable to create a table, but the column headings are very long and would you like to increase the height of the header row?
query2table have parameter t_hRowHeight to set the height of the header, but currently it does not include wordwrap of text in header.
The procedure to look is show_header.
The solution depends on what you need.
Do you want to be able to split over multiple lines by adding \n as a line separator in the header text?
In this case it's simple, just iterate the parsing of \n, write the line and increment the position by the height of the font used.
If, on the other hand, you want text to fit automatically, it's a little more complicated.
Considering that the headers are fixed, I propose the first solution. I just have to find the time to write the code
