Let's Print in VBCS!!!

Enhancing Document prints in VBCS: Secure Embedded Print Functionality

Introduction

In many enterprise applications, printing documents is still a critical business requirement. Whether it is employee records, approval forms, purchase orders, certificates, or contractual documents, organizations need a controlled and secure way to generate printouts directly from their applications.

Recently, our team successfully implemented a Secure Embedded Print Solution in Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS) that allows users to print documents directly from the application.

This project addressed common challenges such as document authenticity, and inconsistent print formats.

Our Solution

We designed and implemented a Secure Embedded Print Framework within Oracle VBCS that enables users to generate print-ready documents directly from the application interface.

Hands-on

The below is references of how we Embedded Print Framework within Oracle VBCS page.

• Create page with Business Objects, Here I explicitly call the table twice

FYR

• Added Button & named as "Print", create event against it & written a one line code

FYR

• We enabled Print Button ♥

FYR

• Let check it's outcome

Observation:

1. It prints with Application headers & footer.

2. It prints the same two tables in a one page, we need separately.

FYR

Handle Above issue

• With help of app.css we added logic to remove the unnecessary headers & footer , table breaks by adding ID(T2)

FYR

Result

we successfully added the print functionality in the VBCS page

Bonus Point

you can try the landscape option of print by writing in the app.css

Conclusion

Sometimes the most effective solution is also the simplest. Using Oracle VBCS page layouts and the browser's built-in window.print() function, we created an efficient print capability that produces both Employee and Employee Copy sections from the same dataset without requiring custom reporting or PDF-generation frameworks.

This solution demonstrates how Oracle VBCS can quickly address common business requirements with minimal code while maintaining a smooth user experience.
