Question : Generating report.rdf to a pdf format and save it in oracle on the unix box to further ftp to network directory

http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/GeneratingCSVFiles.php

This link provides info to save csv files in oracle. Can I also save a pdf file. Actually I want to automate a report ( pdf format) and save by using
 v_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(location     => 'EXTRACT_DIR',
                           filename     => 'report.pdf',
                           open_mode    => 'w',
                           max_linesize => 32767);

Is there q way to do this and later I will ftp the pdf report o network directory. Any one to help?

Yes, that link describes how to use the supplied PL\SQL package: UTL_FILE to have a database stored procedure create an ASCII file.  No, UTL_FILE cannot create a *.pdf file.  It only creates ASCII files.

If you have Oracle Reports, you can have a report create a *.pdf file.  But, Oracle Reports is a separate product.  It is not included in the Oracle database software or license.
