generation PDF Blob is not a valid UTF-8 string error

Hi,

I want to generate a PDF and attach it to an email, based on the Opportunity object. So far, it shouldn't be difficult...

So i've a VF page with the content , rendered as pdf and its controller. If i launch the page in a browser, it's ok.

I've another class (containing the method launched by an action button on the Opportunity layout) to get the content of the PDF and attach it to the email.

Before attaching it, i want to check if there is no error in the PDF, so I call the body.toString() method to do that (body is the blob).

Then i get the error "System.StringException: BLOB is not a valid UTF-8 string", while I used this method many times in the past without problem for other PDF generation.

        PageReference pdf;
        pdf = Page.QuoteTemplate;
        pdf.getParameters().put('id',opp.Id);
        Blob body;

        try {
            body = pdf.getContent();
        } catch (VisualforceException e) {
             body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text ... ERROR_COMPANYADDRESSNOTFOUND ... ERROR_COMPANYNOTFOUND');
        }
		
        if (body.toString().contains('ERROR_')){
            return 'warning';
        }

I searched for information, i find that examples of this error when trying to read the content of a document which is not in UTF8, but in this case i'm starting from a VF page and when i try directly to look at the page, it's ok.

One solution often mentionned is to use the EncodingUtil.base64Encode(body);

but then I cannot compare the content to find the "ERROR_..." (i think)

Anybody has an idea ?

Many thanks

integration EmailVision

Hi,

I have a order process for which I want to send the email via EmailVision.

What i want is:

- to keep the templates in Saleforce and send all the HTML content to EmailVision. that allows us to manage the whole thing in Salesforce and to be able to easily preview the result.

- to save the content of the sent email to the partner/customer as an activity (as it's possible with the messaging object)

- to fire the emails from triggers based on some status changes (a lot of template + multi language, so it's easier and not limited as for the # email alerts)

My problems are :)

- is it possible to use the messaging object to merge the fields between the template and the related record, without sending the mail ?

- i could use a visualforce page instead of a template to get the content (pagereference.getContent()) but i think it's not possible to use this method in a trigger.

- I could let the templates in EmailVision, but in that scenario how to save the content of the sent email as an activity ?

Has anybody experience with such an integration ? best practices ?

Thanks for your help.

page action redirect doesn't work with actionFunction

Hello,

I've 2 applications/pages (LSC and LSS) with the same controller, making the dispatching between both apps and an "action" calling a method "redirecOrLoad".

Both pages are defined like this:

<apex:page controller="HR01_HR08_Disp" action="{!redirectOrLoad}" sidebar="false" showheader="false" standardStylesheets="false" id="pagelss">

The dispatching is based on some properties of the user but can be forced as well to one or another app.

So the user can go to the page LSC and have the right to go to this page => load or he has to use the LSS and is redirected to it. Opposite as well => 4 possibilities.

For some reason, one of the 4 possibilities doesn't work properly. If i go to the page LSC while forcing the app LSS, it should then redirect it to the page LSS but doesn't do it (internal error, ...).

If i go the page LSS while forcing the app LSS, it's working fine, so it's not the page itself that causes the problem, it's the redirect.

Apparently it's the <apex:actionFunction ..> in the page LSS that are the cause of the problem. If i remove them the redirect works properly.

Any idea why the presence of actionFunction could provoke an error in the redirect of the page ?

Page LSS:

<apex:page controller="HR01_HR08_Disp" action="{!redirectOrLoad}" sidebar="false" showheader="false" standardStylesheets="false" id="pagelss">
<head>
    <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.JQuery}" />

generate dynamic javascript

Hi,

I've an app in 3 languages for which I've a translation apex class.

In my VF page, i use some javascript to display a modal (bootstrap) to let the user confirming his choice without calling the apex, so as to limit the number of calls.

My issue is i want to display the confirm screen in the language of the user.

I've tried to generate the javascript with some <apex:outputText > in it or simply {!mylabel} but it doesn't work.

<script type="text/javascript">
	var arrChoices = new Array();
	var arrNames = new Array();
	alert('<apex:outputText>{!labels.Title_Col1_Conf__c}</apex:outputText>');
	alert('{!labels.Title_Col1_Conf__c}');
	....
</script>

the alerts are empty.

I could make a remote invokeAction to get the labels in the correct language, but it seems a little overpowered for that.

Is there a simple way to do that ?

Thanks for the help

default value inputField with standard controller

Hi,

I've overwritten the "New" page of a child object. the page uses the standard controller of my object.

I would like to have default value in the Name and another inputField, based on fields of the parent record, but it doesn't work.

When not overwriting the "New" page, i use a custom button with the values in parameters. But in this case, when overwriting the page, the parameters don't seem to be taken into account by the VF page.

Have I to create an extension controller and set the default values there or is there something "more simple" ?

Thanks

not repeating table with inputfield

Hi,

I try to have a table in a visualforce page, but not a repeating table, so i cannot use <apex:dataTable>.

First column with label (big width) and then 2 columns with input fields (smaller width).

Have i to use the <apex:inputfield> for the fields ?

If yes, how can i make them appear on the same line ? They appear always on separate line.

If no, how can i make the <input> related to the SFDC fields so as to save the value in the correct field ?

I tried this :

<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2"></td><td  colspan="2">Total</td><td  colspan="2">Part</td></tr>
<apex:outputText >Label bla bla</apex:outputText>
<apex:inputField value="{!Building_Cost__c.CA1a_Real_Rent_Total__c}" label=""/>
<apex:inputField value="{!Building_Cost__c.CA1a_Real_Rent_Part__c}" label=""/>
</table>

How to test a change on the status (Chatter) of a user ?

Hi,

in a test class I need to test some trigger when the user changes his Chatter status (What are you working on ?) but i don't know which field i have to use.

If i export the User fields, i find the status in the CurrentStatus field, but apparently i can't set the value of the field in my test class.

I simply do :

usr.currentstatus = 'bla bla bla';
update usr;

but i get the error "Invalid field currentstatus for SObject User".

Anyone an idea ?

EmailTemplate not translated

Hi,

i've Registration object from which i want to send an email template to the Contact related to the Registration.

My email needs to be in the language of the Contact (French, Dutch, English) so i use this

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Confirmation Registration" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Registration__c" language="{!recipient.language_email__c}">

<messaging:htmlEmailBody >
<html>
<body height="100%" width="100%">
{!$Label.Dear}<br /><br />

...

My $Labels are translated in the 3 needed languages.

The email is sent based on a change of status of the Registration.

If i use the "Send Test and Verify Merge Fields" button of the EmailTemplate with the corresponding Registration and Contact, it works fine.

However if change this status in Apex or on the Registration record itself, the mail is always sent in English.

Any idea why it doesn't work otherwise ?

Thanks for your help

update erases a value set by trigger

Hi,

i've an object Registration for events, with lookup field to itself (one parent registration and some children registrations) and a field Contact__c to the Contacts.

When inserting the registrations, i have a trigger (before insert) checking if i can link them to existing Contacts or if i have to create new Contacts (based on email in the Registration form).

After inserting the parent and children registrations, the controller of my page sets the Status__c to a new value so as to fire a workflow rule and to generate the membercards with EmailTemplate. I do the update after all inserts (parent and children) so as to send one single mail with all the membership cards of these registrations. Problem is when updating the Status__c of my registration, the Contact__c doesn't contain the value set by the trigger and so erase the Contact__c of the registration.

I can of course reload my Registration before updating the status, but it means one more SOQL statement.

Is there a way to avoid this SOQL statement without having the value of Contact erased ?

Thanks for your help

Error: Unknown property in VFpage with custom controller

{!child.reg.Firstname__c} is working fine, but not {!child.indexChild}

include HTML field in template

Hi,

i try to insert a field including HTML in a HTML Email template. This field including HTML is filled in by a trigger based on the records of a related list (that's why i cannot write the HTML direcetly in the template), but of course the result is the <a> are written as so in the sent HTML and are not links.

Is there a way to do that ? I could send my email in the trigger itself but in this case, i've the problem with the limit of 10 SendEmail in one transaction.

no inserted data in automatic PDF sent

Hi,

I've a site, in which users can select some choices.

The object behind has a child relationhip with the different items chosen by the user.

After inserting the record and the children items, i would like to send a PDF by email to the user to confirm him the selection he made.

The problem I've is the controller of the PDF page doesn't find the children of the object, as they were not there.

If i look in the object, everything is ok. If i add a commandlink on the last page to generate and send the pdf, it's ok too.

The problem appears only when i want to automate the PDF sending => insert and send in the same user interaction.

Has somebody an idea ? Is it a matter related to the order of the actions, like insert is asynchronous and then when the call to the PDF generation is done, children are not really inserted yet ?

Thanks for your help

I don't understand why I've to rerender the embedding outputPanel.

redirect with action attribute doesn't work

Hello,

I've a site with a wizard in it. When the user goes to the site, i check in the first page if this user is already came. If so, i load the saved state of his wizard and make a redirect to the correct page of the wizard.

To redirect him, i use the action attribute of the page.

<apex:page sidebar="false" showheader="false" controller="Move_North" cache="false" action="{!ad.loadCafState}">

ad is an object created in the controller of the page.

The function loadCafState is looking like:

pageRef = new PageReference('/apex/HR01_Confirm_And_Send');
pageRef.setRedirect(false);
return pageRef;

(I don't use /apex/ in my real code, it's just to debug.

With the parameter of setRedirect = true, i move correctly to the page, but i lose all values preloaded. Normal if i refer to the documentation.

With setRedirect = false, the page seems not to be redirected, and doesn't display the css anymore ???

In the documentation, i find "If set to false, the redirect is a server-side forward that preserves the view state if and only if the target page uses the same controller and contains the proper subset of extensions used by the source page"

What is a proper subset of extensions ?

When is executed the method in the action attribute compared to the execution of the controller ?

Thanks for your help

I've 2 problems:

1/ when uploading one attachment, i would like to refresh only the block where is the upload file, and not all the blocks. Currently, if I select the values in the dropdowns of the first blocks, and then upload a file, all the values of the dropdowns are lost after the refresh. I tried the <apex:actionRegion> as i saw on another topic, but it doesn't work. I used also the {!$Component.uploadFile} to determine which id of the loop should be rerendered, but without success.

2/ when uploading the file, i would like to display a message "uploading ..". I used the <apex:actionStatus> but it disappear almost instantly. At the end of the upload, i switch the <ouputText> to be displayed. This happens much later the actionStatus disappear. I don't understand why.

Thanks for your help.

default datepicker displayed on page ?

Hi,

I just created a new page in my app (by copying the structure of another page), and for some reason a datepicker without css appears at the end of the page.

When looking in the source, this datepicker is after the </apex:form>.

Does anybody know why this datepicker appears ?

Thanks for your help

Record Type supported in Visualforce pages ?

Hi,

in one of my visualforce page, there is a picklist for which the record type that sets the options available doesn't seem to be taken into account .

I read some posts about that, and i understood correctly it should be fixed since Winter 11 release, but it's still not working in my VF page.

So is this issue still opened and do i have to manage the options dynamically, or is it fixed anyway.

Thanks for the feedback.

custom clone : ID creation only when saving

Hi,

for my project , i need to clone some records but with the possibility for the user to change some fields (reset the status, ...). So i don't use the standard Clone button.

In my Apex class, I use the clone() method and then insert :

request = [select Id, Circuit__c from MyObject where id = :request.id];
clonedRequest = request.clone(false);
insert clonedRequest;

return new PageReference('/'+clonedRequest.id+'/e?retURL=%2F'+clonedRequest.id);

The problem i have is in this case, this code has created a new record ID, even if the user cancels it (due to the insert).

Is it possible not to insert the new record, but to see a temporary version which is really created only when clicking on the Save button (as the standard Clone works) ?

Thanks for your help

triggering apex method of extension controller

Hi,

i'm new in Trigger and Apex methods, so it's probably a dummy question.

I have an object SGRequest with a custom button to send PDF. (code found on the site of Jeff Douglas)

So i have a controller extension

public with sharing class SGRequestPDFEmail{

public SGRequest__c request {get;set;}

public SGRequestPDFEmail(Apexpages.Standardcontroller con) {

request = (SGRequest__c)con.getRecord();

}

public PageReference sendPdf() {

PageReference pdf = Page.SGRequestPDFTemplate;

// add parent id to the parameters for standardcontroller

pdf.getParameters().put('id',request.id);

// the contents of the attachment from the pdf

Blob body;

try {

// returns the output of the page as a PDF

body = pdf.getContent();

// need to pass unit test -- current bug

} catch (VisualforceException e) {

body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text');

}

Messaging.EmailFileAttachment attach = new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment();

attach.setContentType('application/pdf');

attach.setFileName(request.File_Name__c);

attach.setInline(false);

attach.Body = body;

Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

mail.setUseSignature(false);

mail.setToAddresses(new String[] {request.email_author__c});

mail.setSubject('PDF Email Demo');

mail.setHtmlBody('Here is the email you requested! Check the attachment!');

mail.setFileAttachments(new Messaging.EmailFileAttachment[] { attach });

// Send the email

Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { mail });

ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.INFO, 'Email with PDF sent to '+request.email_author__c));

return null;

}

This works fine, so when clicking on the button, the mail is correctly sent with the PDF in attachment.

Now i would like to trigger this after changing a field Status__c in my object SGRequest__c.

trigger SendPdfOnApproval on SGRequest__c (after update) {

for (SGRequest__c sgr : Trigger.new){

if ((sgr.Status__c != trigger.oldMap.get(sgr.id).Status__c) && (sgr.Status__c == 'Approved') ){

sgr.sendPdf();

}

but of course, sgr doesn't know the method sendPdf ...

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks in advance

generation PDF Blob is not a valid UTF-8 string error

Hi,

I want to generate a PDF and attach it to an email, based on the Opportunity object. So far, it shouldn't be difficult...

So i've a VF page with the content , rendered as pdf and its controller. If i launch the page in a browser, it's ok.

I've another class (containing the method launched by an action button on the Opportunity layout) to get the content of the PDF and attach it to the email.

Before attaching it, i want to check if there is no error in the PDF, so I call the body.toString() method to do that (body is the blob).

Then i get the error "System.StringException: BLOB is not a valid UTF-8 string", while I used this method many times in the past without problem for other PDF generation.

        PageReference pdf;
        pdf = Page.QuoteTemplate;
        pdf.getParameters().put('id',opp.Id);
        Blob body;

        try {
            body = pdf.getContent();
        } catch (VisualforceException e) {
             body = Blob.valueOf('Some Text ... ERROR_COMPANYADDRESSNOTFOUND ... ERROR_COMPANYNOTFOUND');
        }
		
        if (body.toString().contains('ERROR_')){
            return 'warning';
        }

One solution often mentionned is to use the EncodingUtil.base64Encode(body);

but then I cannot compare the content to find the "ERROR_..." (i think)

Anybody has an idea ?

Many thanks

generate dynamic javascript

Hi,

I've an app in 3 languages for which I've a translation apex class.

In my VF page, i use some javascript to display a modal (bootstrap) to let the user confirming his choice without calling the apex, so as to limit the number of calls.

My issue is i want to display the confirm screen in the language of the user.

I've tried to generate the javascript with some <apex:outputText > in it or simply {!mylabel} but it doesn't work.

<script type="text/javascript">
	var arrChoices = new Array();
	var arrNames = new Array();
	alert('<apex:outputText>{!labels.Title_Col1_Conf__c}</apex:outputText>');
	alert('{!labels.Title_Col1_Conf__c}');
	....
</script>

the alerts are empty.

I could make a remote invokeAction to get the labels in the correct language, but it seems a little overpowered for that.

Is there a simple way to do that ?

Thanks for the help

default value inputField with standard controller

Hi,

I've overwritten the "New" page of a child object. the page uses the standard controller of my object.

I would like to have default value in the Name and another inputField, based on fields of the parent record, but it doesn't work.

Have I to create an extension controller and set the default values there or is there something "more simple" ?

Thanks

not repeating table with inputfield

Hi,

I try to have a table in a visualforce page, but not a repeating table, so i cannot use <apex:dataTable>.

First column with label (big width) and then 2 columns with input fields (smaller width).

Have i to use the <apex:inputfield> for the fields ?

If yes, how can i make them appear on the same line ? They appear always on separate line.

If no, how can i make the <input> related to the SFDC fields so as to save the value in the correct field ?

I tried this :

<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="2"></td><td  colspan="2">Total</td><td  colspan="2">Part</td></tr>
<apex:outputText >Label bla bla</apex:outputText>
<apex:inputField value="{!Building_Cost__c.CA1a_Real_Rent_Total__c}" label=""/>
<apex:inputField value="{!Building_Cost__c.CA1a_Real_Rent_Part__c}" label=""/>
</table>

How to test a change on the status (Chatter) of a user ?

Hi,

in a test class I need to test some trigger when the user changes his Chatter status (What are you working on ?) but i don't know which field i have to use.

If i export the User fields, i find the status in the CurrentStatus field, but apparently i can't set the value of the field in my test class.

I simply do :

usr.currentstatus = 'bla bla bla';
update usr;

but i get the error "Invalid field currentstatus for SObject User".

Anyone an idea ?

EmailTemplate not translated

Hi,

i've Registration object from which i want to send an email template to the Contact related to the Registration.

My email needs to be in the language of the Contact (French, Dutch, English) so i use this

<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Confirmation Registration" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Registration__c" language="{!recipient.language_email__c}">

<messaging:htmlEmailBody >
<html>
<body height="100%" width="100%">
{!$Label.Dear}<br /><br />

...

My $Labels are translated in the 3 needed languages.

The email is sent based on a change of status of the Registration.

If i use the "Send Test and Verify Merge Fields" button of the EmailTemplate with the corresponding Registration and Contact, it works fine.

However if change this status in Apex or on the Registration record itself, the mail is always sent in English.

Any idea why it doesn't work otherwise ?
