Example

The following example shows how to use the DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT using Signature 2 (Pre-defined report query and RTF or XSL-FO based report layout.). In this example, the data for the report is taken from a Report Query called 'ReportQueryAndXSL' stored in the current application's Shared Components > Report Queries. The report layout is taken from a value stored in a page item (P1_XSL).

BEGIN
    APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
        p_file_name           => 'mydocument',
        p_content_disposition => 'attachment',
        p_application_id      => :APP_ID,
        p_report_query_name   => 'ReportQueryAndXSL',
        p_report_layout       => :P1_XSL,
