11.2.5 Accessibility

Oracle Reports provides several ways for you to include accessibility features in your PDF file. The PDF format file follows the tagged-PDF standard defined in PDF 1.4. This standard along with Acrobat Reader 5 or higher provides you with features for inclusion in the paper layout. For information on enabling accessibility-related features offered through Oracle Reports from the command line, see Section A.5.1, ACCESSIBLE . For information about using the Oracle Reports accessibility properties designed to make PDF report output accessible to the disabled community Alternative Text, Headers, ID, Report Language, and Table Caption properties, see the Oracle Reports online Help. Additionally, refer to Chapter 43, Building an Accessible JSP-based Web Report in the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual, and to the Oracle accessibility site on OTN http:www.oracle.comaccessibilityindex.html , where you can learn more about accessibility and find the Creating Accessible Enterprise Reports Using Oracle Reports white paper.

11.2.6 Taxonomy

A PDF document can include global information about itself such as the documents title, author, creation and modification dates. This global information proves useful at the time of cataloging or searching for documents in external databases. Oracle Reports provides report-level properties to enable such a classification, known as taxonomy. They are: ■ Title ■ Author ■ Subject ■ Keywords Refer to the Oracle Reports online Help for more information on the taxonomy properties. Table 11–6 Taxonomy Properties Property Name Type Description Default Value Title String Document title. PDF document name Author String Documents author.

This enables you to scale the graph without compromising on the image quality. For more information, see Section B.1.50, REPORTS_GRAPH_IMAGE_DPI and Section B.1.52, REPORTS_JPEG_QUALITY_FACTOR .

11.3 Generating a Unicode PDF File

This section outlines the steps involved in generating a PDF file with a Unicode character set. Before using the font features covered in this section, refer to Table 11–4 to determine which feature best suits your application needs.

11.3.1 Font Subsetting

The steps involved in generating a Unicode PDF file using the font subsetting feature are as follows: 1. Set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8. 2. Set REPORTS_PATH to the font directory in which the TrueType font exists. For example, C:\WINNT\fonts. 3. Open the uifont.ali file and edit the [PDF:Subset] section to specify the TrueType font name. Example [ PDF:Subset ] Andale Duospace WT J = Aduoj.ttf Albany WT J=AlbanWTJ.ttf The specified font should cover the Unicode range that your report uses. 4. Create a report having MLS data and set its font to the Unicode font. 5. Run a report having MLS data with DESTYPE=FILE DESFORMAT=PDF.
