ORDS PDF printing in APEX desupported - confusion

MatthiasHoysJan 2 2020 — edited Jan 3 2020

Hi,

The ORDS 19.2 release notes say the following:

Support for generating PDF responses for PL/SQL Gateway calls will be removed in ORDS 19.2.0. This will impact the features in Oracle Application Express relating to generating PDF documents. Future versions of Oracle Application Express will move to a new mechanism to generate PDF resources.

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/rest-data-services/downloads/ords-releasenotes-192-5592784.html

However, we have an APEX installation using APEX 5.1.4 together with ORDS 19.2, and PDF printing using ORDS still works.

The APEX 19.2 release notes say the following:

7.1.3 Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS)-based Printing Desupported

Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS)-based Printing is desupported as of this release.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/application-express/19.2/htmrn/index.html#HTMRN-GUID-A7400F11-3C2B-4391-901A-…

Does this mean that for example ORDS 19.4 can still be used for PDF printing with APEX 19.1? And what about APEX 19.2 with a pre-19.2 version of ORDS? Does that still support ORDS-based PDF printing?

Thanks

Matthias
