Apex 4.0 Paper Layout Reports

Hi All,
I'm exploring Oracle Apex for the first time. I have just downloaded Apex 4.0 and would like to see if I can create a paper layout report. For example I would like to produce a Profit & Loss statement as well as a Balance Sheet from my existing database tables.
I have done something similar in Oracle Reports 6i some years ago.
In Apex I have managed to create an interactive report as well as a SQL report. However, these don't look anything like a plain A4 report. I'm guessing this is possible with Apex ?
Do I need to change the default theme for the page I have created ?
Any hints will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Billy

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I have had a quick look on the net about your proposed solution to use cocoon. Although, it seems as though this may work it appears to be quite a tedious way to go from a user point of view.
As for BI Publisher, it's quite expensice the last time I looked.
I would have thought Oracle Apex could do something so basic out of the box. Maybe not !
Thanks
Billy

  • Print Button in paper Layout reports

    Hi All,
    I have created a paper layout report with desformat = html.Its working fine.
    Now my requirement is to print the report after the report is displayed on the browser.
    Can I keep print button in reports ?
    Please suggest me a solution.
    Regards
    Srini

    Add some javascript to your report to submit the page to the printer. Use one of the report escapes (look at the properties of the report...double click the report in the object navigator). You can actually add some javascript in one of those escapes to submit the print job after the page has been loaded. I have never used one of those report escapes but that should work.
    if you can do that, you should also be able to add an html button to the top of the page to accomplish the same thing or add a hyperlink to the report that submits another report with desformat = pdf which will probably print out much nicer. All of this should work with using report escapes.

  • Crashes every time i try to view the paper layout of a specific report...

    When opening a report developed in reports 6, i am unable to edit/view the Paper Layout with the following error (basically a standard microsoft error):
    Reports Builder has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience....
    Error signature
    AppName: rwbuilder.exe AppVer: 10.1.2.0 ModName: rw.dll
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 001928b6
    I am still able to view the Layout Model in version 6i for this report, it just crashes every time in 10g (i have also checked on other developers computers here, and exactly the same thing). Also, i have tested the rdf in a 10g r2 application server environment, and the report does run successfully!
    Any ideas out there for things to try would be appreciated...
    Cheers,
    Tim.

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for answering. No, it crashes anyway. I tried changing the identity plate color in all different modules. I was able to change it once when I had just bought a new computer and installed Lightroom, but now I can't. I wonder if there are any cache files or anything causing this. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to fix it myself. I wondered whether LRB is causing a problem simply by having it installed, but as I said, after I removed it from the Web Galleries folder, the problem still occurred. Is there any way to recreate the identity plate in Photoshop (same font and size etc.) and reimport it into Lightroom? I need to finish my website and my name is sol light, it is barely legible. Any fix or workaround would be appreciated.

  • Reports 9.0.2. How to dynamically set graphic/chart width in paper layout?

    Hi there,
    I have a graphic with vertical bars in paper layout. Its width ranges from quarter of a A4 page width to several ones spanned. I have made the page width large enough but can not control the graphic width dynamically and when too much data must be shown on the X axis the bars get too thick to read.
    Is there another way except of?:
    - making the graph middle-sized and hoping that the client will not notice the visual glitch when too much or less data is the case;
    - using JSP (this is not an option here).
    To make the things worse, when the graph is expanded beyond a A4 page width or something its border reflects the change, but its contents is ugly shrunk.
    As I browsed this forum, I got convinced that the only way to get the graph under control at some extend is to use JSP web report.
    Anyone with experience on this? 10x in advance folks.

    Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

  • How to screen capture paper Layout model in oracle reports

    Hi,
    I have several reports and i need to be able to capture paper layout (model) view in pdfs or jpgs for presentation etc. Short of going and doing screen prints, is there an automated/batch way to do that since i have several reports. One path that comes to my mind is the XML route with appropriate style sheet that preserves the pdf look and feel)
    Note that i am not asking to run a report with data which i can do manually, but instead need the layout model in the jpg/gif/pdf formats.
    Thanks,

  • How to dislay other language font in Report Builder paper layout?

    How to I display other language font (e.g. chinese) in Report Builder paper layout?
    I have no problem displaying Chinese characters in web layout.

    If your NLS_LANG is properly set to chinese character set and if you are choosing the right chinese fonts, in Reports builder, your report paper layout should display chinese characters properly.
    If you are generating to PDF, then you might want to use PDF subsetting to display the chinese characters properly.
    See the documentation on how to use PDF subsetting.

  • Report Designer - Formatting in paper layout

    Hello,
    I have been struggling with a request to develop a very detailed report in printed (paper Layout) format.
    I am OK with the data output, but spending too much time trying to get the graphical formatting to an acceptable level.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on my issue below?
    Or - does any one know of a source for online help/totorials specifically for graphical layout part of design in paper layout?
    My Project is a shipping document. It has address type information repeating at the top of every page, item details in the body, and static general information at the bottom of each page.
    My challenge is with the static information at the bottom of the page.
    - If the document contains only a few item detials, the bottom information should remain at the very bottom of the first page and not move upwards
    - If the document contains more than one page worth of detials, the bottom information should print at the bottom of every page.
    So far, I got it to stop moving upwards, but now it is missing on page 1 and only prints onto page 2
    next part. In the static information is space to include a total Qty (the total is easy). I need the total to print only on the last page, all previous pages should print text such as 'Continued on next page'
    If anyone could give me a push in the right direction, i would be very grateful.

    Hamid,
    To simplify, I have removed any repreating frame from the bottom leaving only a large fixed frame containing multiple fixed frames.
    On your first suggestion:
    If I change Print Obect On: to 'Last Page' as sugested, I get an error 'Obect M_1 has an illegal print condition'. If I leave it set to 'All Pages', it prints but moves up the page immediatly following the last record
    On your second suggestion:
    I moved the fixed frame outside of the margin. And received very simiar results.
    I had read that I might need to use an anchor to make the position releative to another object. Might this be the case?

  • Need help adding a second page on reports builder, paper layout.

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I need to create a paper layout using Reports Builder (10.1.2.0.2). This report will print out the following:
    1) Invoice
    2) VAT Slip (on a separate page)
    So far I have created the invoice part and it is printing properly. Now I want to add the Vat slip. When I use the "Trailer Section" on the rdf report, I create a frame and inserted some text. The report ran just fine. Then in the same frame, I added a repeating frame. And now the report is completing with the following error:

    If you have created your own template (but it sounds like you haven't) you will need to 'capture' that page so it repeats on following pages.
    The whole process is described here:

    If above is your layout
    make two different sql query and show them in order in layout.
    But i don't like it.

  • How to call the JSP(Web layout) instead of paper layout...

    Hi,
    Iam using Reports 10g. I have created a simple employees report. I have added a listbox in the jsp page by adding small Html and javascript code like below.
    <form action="http://www.wwt.com/reports/rwservlet?10000_reports_listing&p_extranet=p_extranet" name="First" method="post">
    <select name="p_extranet" onChange="First.submit()" >
    <rw:foreach id="RGSOURCE" src="G_SOURCE">
    <rw:getValue id="mysource" src="SOURCE"/>
    <option value=""><%= mysource %>
    </rw:foreach>
    </select>
    </form>
    When I run this report in the report builder as Web layout, Listbox is displayed with values inside.
    But when I move it to Apps server and run it through URL,
    listbox is disappeared. I think report is running the Paper layout instead of weblayout ??????????
    Could you please tell me what is the problem and How to force the Weblayout or JSP to run ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You are running a jsp report through rwservlet. In this case paper layout will be displayed. You have to deploy your jsp as web report to get the web layout. Please refer to the doc below, which describes how to deploy the web report.
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10314_01/pbr_run.htm#1011901
    To run the jsp report, URL may look like
    http://www.wwt.com/reports/<jsp name>?<parameter list>
    Hope this helps

  • How to refer a field created at the paper layout?

    Hi,
    I created a field for total pages of a report in the paper layout.
    How do I refer to it in the formattrigger since I don't want to show it if there is only 1 page.
    I tried putting & or : in front of the field name but it is not valid since the field is not created in data model.
    Thanks for any help in advanced.

    You can't reference the total number of pages in any way (an often heard complaint on this forum).
    The workaround is to use srw.get_page_num on a format trigger of a field that you put at the end of the report. Then you know you are at the end of the report. If the page number is 1, you know there is only 1 page. Still a bit tricky how to use this in your case, but you may find a solution.
    I knew I posted something about this before. Here it is:
