APEX

Hi,

I am using ApEx 3.1 and Oracle 10g and XSL-FO

I have a problem in downloading a PDF file:

(1) I have a report query (produced an xml file), report template, and report layout.
After I linked the new PDF report into my application, when I click on the button, the PDF “File Download” popup shows only two buttons (“save” and “cancel”) with a warning message “The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download”, and the file name shows up as “f.pdf”. I am able to open the saved file (f.pdf) in Adobe Acrobat and it looks fine.

(2) In “Home>Application Builder>Application xxx >Shared Components>Report Queries>Edit Report Query”, when I click on the “Test Report” button, the “File Download” popup shows with all three buttons, (“open”, “save”, “cancel”) --- it shows the correct name of the file, and, no warning message! At this point, the file can be opened with the “open” button”, or, be saved to the disk. The saved file opens with Adobe Acrobat and the contents are identical to that of the file “f.pdf”.

(3) I created another application (within the same workspace) with just one page, linked the PDF report in this application, and clicked on the button, and got the same response as in (2).

It looks like I could try to create a new application by copying page by page from the application quoted in (1), and see if that would solve the problem. It is time consuming, the outcome is uncertain, and also could create some other problems

What could be the cause of this problem? Any alternatives? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Vasan
