Boxes in PDF, RTF and HTMLCSS format

Hi People--
I am having a strange problem when I execute the Report
( Reports 6i RDF running against Reports 6 Runtime on Solaris) and dump the output to PDF, RTF or HTMLCSS formats.
There are boxes all around each of the fields. The same report has no boxes when I run and print it in the Live Previewer on Windows. HTML format works fine except that all
the borders have disappeared and it looks too pedestrian.
Any thoughts?
thanks in advance!
Vinny.

Navneet--
There seems to be more to it than this. This problem
occurs even when I run the RDF on Windows and generate
it to a file of formats RTF, PDF and HTMLCSS. Every
field has boxes around it though there are no borders
for any of the fields. Is there some property that I
am setting right or something I have to set to make
the conversion smoother and look authentic.
thanks again!
Vinny.

Problem in HTML and HTMLCSS format of reports

Hi
I'm using Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 to build a tabular report, in the repot preview everything is ok but in the real time I have two problems :
1- When I try to generate html file or access the report with desformat=html some graphical formats like lines and background colors are gone!. When I see the source of the generated HTML file the tables border is 0. I changed the border to be 1px with solid style and black color but nothing happened.
2- When I try to generate htmlCSS file or access the report with desformat=htmlCSS the graphics is there but when I print the report there is some shift between the generated page and the printed page i.e: the printed pages are not the same like the report's pages. I added some code in the after page property as a page break but nothing changed
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you in advance

Hi
The best way to organize data and images to get them next to each other is to use a table (no borders) in your RTF template. Create a two celled table and drop the image into one and the text next to it.

Reading EPUB, PDF, MOBI and other formats ...

Now I don't understand why I can't find an app which is capable of reading large PDF/EPUB formats, but I've found an app that is capable of reading large MOBI format. The largest file it ever read is over 30 MB ... I need an app that is capable of reading large EPUB/PDF files, any suggestions?

You could try the Abite reader http://albite.org/reader
It's free, and there are many version of it.
If I remember correctly, epub files are just zip files with the resources in it, html and images.
There is an app called "Editori pdf", search for it at the store. Here a link, it doesn't work for my phone, so I don't know how good it is: http://store.ovi.mobi/content/363956

PDF reports and forms11g, Weblogic, call report from form, parameters

Hi All.
I had difficulty to put to work reports 11g on pdf format. this is how I solve it.
I hope help any of you and also anyoe can correct me if Im wrong.
1. I have installed an configured the weblogic server 10.3.3, also Forms, Reports, Portal, Discoverer 11.1.1.3.0 and database 11.2
2. I re-compiled my forms and reports 10gR2 on 11g, also the pll libraries.
3. This is how I call the report from my form, I add parameters to a parameter list called PL then invoke the rp2rro prucedure that is located at rp2rrp.pl library:
PL := create_parameter_list(TDATA);
add_parameter(PL,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
add_parameter(PL,'ORIENTATION',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PORTRAIT');
add_parameter(PL,'EMPRESA',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANY);
add_parameter(PL,'NB_EMPRESA',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANYNAME);
add_parameter(PL,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:CG$CTRL.DESFORMAT);
rp2rro.SETREPORTSSERVER(:GLOBAL.REPORTSERVER);
add_parameter(PL,'SESION',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(SESION));
Add_Parameter(pl, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'SCREEN');
rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(REPORTS, :CG$CTRL.REPORT_TYPE, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, PL, NULL);
destroy_parameter_list(PL);
4. when pr2rro gets the parameter list (PL) did not find the Desformat parameter that I sent from the form. so I edit the pr2rro.pll library. this is the zone of the code edited:
(just added the number var "Desfn" that the get_parameter_attr() will need above.
PACKAGE BODY rp2rro IS
     /* Package variables */
rp2rroDesformat varchar2(30);
     rp2rroDesname varchar2(200);
     rp2rroDestype varchar2(30);
     rp2rroReportOther varchar2(2000):='';
rp2rroComm_mode number := Synchronous;
     rp2rroReportServer varchar2(100);
     rp2rroVirtualDir          varchar2(100);
rp2rroReportsInterface varchar2(30);
/* this line by ingenio*/
     Desfn                    number;
5. a couple of lines above, you can find this:
(here I added get_parameter_attr(mparamlist_id,'DESFORMAT',Desfn,rp2rroDesformat); to asign the value of the parameter called Desformat to the rp2rroDesformat var)
PROCEDURE rp2rro_run_product(product NUMBER,reportFile VARCHAR2,commMode NUMBER,engine NUMBER,fileLocation NUMBER,mparamlist_id ParamList,display VARCHAR2) IS
BEGIN
     /* Handle only calls to Reports */
     /* this line by ingenio*/
get_parameter_attr(mparamlist_id,'DESFORMAT',Desfn,rp2rroDesformat);
          IF product = REPORTS THEN
          Handle_rp2rro_run_product(product, reportFile,commMode,engine,fileLocation,mparamlist_id);
          END IF;
END;
Its now working fine with PDF, RTF, HTML, Delimited formats, Not with EXCEL(spreadsheet) Im working in that.
I accept any help.
Thanlks
Edited by: Ingenio on Nov 29, 2011 2:44 PM

I solved my problem editing the rp2rro.pll library,I debugged the library and I found the format sent by forms was missing, so I catch it and set it directly:
GET_PARAMETER_ATTR(mparamlist_id, 'DESFORMAT',vnumb,vvalue);
               setDesformat (vvalue);

Csv rtf and xls files in file sender

Hi Experts,
I had a requirement to design an interface, its basically just a file to file with certain mappings as per business requirements.
The input file is currently expected in .csv or .xml or .xls.
My query (can be even be considered juvenile:-) ) is ,
if csv can be processedd with FCC, why is it that xls cannot?, saving the xls as csv can be done but since its an automated process it will be out of scope to do t manually
The other query was, with more files expected in rtf and other formats..what is the best way to outline the interface?
Request you to elucidate on the above
Regards,
Ibrahim

XLS is a different format. It is not a text file. Eg. a PDF ... is of a different format... it is not a text file.
For any format other that a TEXT file, you will have to custom code. FCC will apply only to text formats and csv is a text format.
For excel, PDF etc you can use modules to read or write contents
eg. /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/05/17/trouble-writing-out-a-pdf-in-xipi

If you have different formats to be read, make sure you configure different adapters for each and not a single adapter.
A single adapter can be used if all you need is to pick files and drop them somewhere doing nothing on the content

Generating reports in RTF and Excel on Sun Solaris

hi,
Could any one of u out there kindly tell me if it is possible to generate reports in RTF and Excel formats on a Report Server running in Sun Solaris machine. We use Reports 6i.
Because I am able to generate a report in RTF format on report running in Windows NT machine, but on Solaris i get a message that the Reports Server terminated abnormally!.
Thanks,
Prabhu S

Could you please tell us whether you fllowed any special procedures
or made some specific settings to launch RTF reports ?Can't help much, I'm afraid. The report and web server settings were
all made before I got here, and are not visible to me.
We can get RTF from report builder/generate-to-file and when running
reports on the web. Our servers are all Sun/Solaris boxes, although
we display on DOS boxes. Excel we get from a program, not from the
report server.
Report builder 6.0.8.10.1, database claims to be 8.1.7.0.0.
Sorry I can't help much more than saying "yes, it can be done".

Dynamically Generated HTML/PDF/RTF?

Hi guys,
This is similar to something I asked recently, but I've got a better idea of what I need and how to ask. I'm still fairly novice at programming, espeically applets.
I'm working on an applet for an educational purpose that will generate an array of study items...probably 30-50, I haven't decided on the size yet. It's for foreign language study, and the items are foreign phonetic characters, no more than 3 per item. I'd like to output them in a print-ready format, probably essentially a grid, with some space for the student to write their answer next to or under it. I've seen some free libraries out there that can generate pdf, rtf, and HTML, most notably the iText libraries.
I really want to do this as an applet. So my question is, how would this, or another library that one of you knows that would be better, be implemented? Would the output be a file on the server? Is there a way to make it generate the file to the users local cache or something, or give them an option to download it without it going on a server, since it is randomly generated and not uniform for other users? (I assume that would require making it a signed applet?)
Any help you can give would be really appreciated.

Okay, but this would work very well as a web application.What's a good resource for learning to work with them as opposed to applets? (Told you I'm a novice! ) Well, if you're a novice it might be better to concentrate on the regular Java stuff and sure, applets too.

Printing Header and Footer once in HTML and on all pages in RTF and PDF using one RDF

Hi,
I am using a single RDF to generate reports in HTML,PDF and RTF.
For printing the header only on the first page I used the
following trigger
begin
srw.get_page_num (page_num);
IF upper(:P_FORMAT) = 'HTML' THEN
if page_num = 1 then
return(true);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
ELSE
return (TRUE);
END IF;
end;
I alo require to print the footer once on the last page in case
of HTML and on all pages for RTF and PDF.Is there any way I can
get the total number of pages or is there any other way to
acheive this. ???
Any help would be appreaciated .
Thanks,
Alka

Generally, one template can not create nice output in all formats. In your case, you would need a format parameter to suppress headers/footers if it's value is 'EXCEL'. The problem is (I wish someone would correct me on this) that we can not refer the standard parameter already there and have to create another, user-defined parameter.

Drilldown and printing reports in PDF and HTMLCSS

I have created several reports and linked them together using
hyperlinks giving drilldown capability. The reports are being
generated via the Reports Server on a remote machine.
I have initially tried to do this using PDF due to its far
better print capabilities but there appears to be a problem
using drilldown with PDF. You cannot use the back key in the
browser having gone from REP1.PDF to REP2.PDF, all you get is a
little box in the top left corner of the browser.
So, I have also tried using HTMLCSS and pagestreaming (due to
the size of the reports and the slowness of creating the reports
in HTMLCSS) but now I cannot print out the entire report but
have to do it one page at a time.
As a work around solution I have created a before report trigger
which submits to the reports server a PDF version and added a
button on the pagestream section to print it out. What I don't
like about this is that I need to hardcode the name of the
reports server into the report itself as I use the RUN_REPORT
command. The problem being that I use a different reports server
for the test environment to the production environment and have
no wish to change all the reports just before they go into
production.
I would be interested to know if other people have come across
the same or similar problem and how they overcame it.
Thanks in advance
Ralph.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

Report Generate to File PDF, HTML,Excel and Others Format

Dear Experts,
I am using Oracle 9i and Developer 6i. How I convert report in PDF, HTML, Excel and others format after generating the report. When i try to generate, then giving the following error message:
REP-0999: Unimplemented Error.
How can I solve it, Please help me.

Do the column headings display ok but the data does not?
If so it may be related to the font size. i.e. the whole report may not fit on the page when scaled for pdf output.
