Version 19.2.2 of APEX Office Print (AOP) is now ready to be downloaded in the download section. AOP 19.2.2 is compatible with APEX 5.1, 18.x. and 19.x (for APEX 5.0 we ship AOP 18.2.3)

AOP Template enhancements
AOP already had the ability to create a starter template based on the available data. With AOP 19.2, the template also contains the interactive or classic report tag(s) when Classic Reports, Interactive Reports or Grids are included. The template was further optimized, so you can create your own, beautiful templates even faster out-of-the-box.
New template type: AOP Report
AOP 19.2 is able to create a document without a template! AOP has a built-in template which will be used when an "AOP Report" is requested. The AOP Report is intelligent and adapts based on the Print Attributes defined in Oracle APEX. By specifying different settings, you can customize the AOP Report exactly as you want.
New data types: JSON & XML
AOP 19.2 includes two new data types. Including JSON and XML has never been easier. If you have a REST web service or you want to generate your own JSON and XML, you can just pass it to the AOP PL/SQL API and APEX Plug-in.
New data source: REST Web Service & GraphQL
The AOP Server now understands a REST Web Service or GraphQL and can do the call for you. You pass the url and some meta-data that the service needs and AOP will do the rest.
Classic Report WYSIWYG
One of the most liked features of AOP is the ability to generate Interactive Reports and Grids exactly as you see on the screen. AOP 19.2 adds the same ability for Classic Reports. Print Attributes are taken into account to customize the look and feel of the Classic Report. In your template, you simply specify {&staticId&}.
New output locations: (S)FTP & Database Directory
You can now tell AOP to send the output to an (S)FTP location or a database directory.
Interactive Grid Master Detail Support
AOP now supports IG Master Detail (Detail...) natively, no need to specify bind variables in order to display the correct detail records. AOP automatically displays the detail records for the selected master row.
PDF enhancements
- If you want a document multiple times, you can now define the number of copies - Ability to overlay text onto a PDF - Ability to lock a form in a PDF (lock a fillable PDF)
Other enhancements
- AOP will automatically pick up translated headers and labels - Percent Graph column support for Classic and Interactive Reports - The tag {&staticId&} works now for Classic Reports as well as Interactive Grids. This makes it easier to create your templates in case you change from one report type to another. - Improved JavaScript in the Dynamic Actions Plug-in - More native chart support and manipulations - New and enhanced samples in the AOP Sample App - Image, Barcode and QR-code rotation possible - New Getting Started section when logged in at apexofficeprint.com - REF Cursors can now be used as data source by using the AOP PL/SQL API - Added a function and procedure to check if the AOP Server/Cloud is available - Database directories are natively supported as the source for your template - Font APEX support - Improvements on default width and height of an Excel cell and the ability to customize - Excel number formatting and date format improvements
