Export to .pdf produces block characters for text

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.2.0.290 with service pack 3 installed.  The format of my reports is exporting to .pdf format; but all text appears like hexadecimal block type characters.  The report is also very dim, low contrast.  This happens at all times, whether using the report is an app or exporting it from the Crystal Reports designer.

That's weird...
The blocks are due to the viewer not being able to find the font defined in the report when viewed.
Try changing the font to MS Ariel Unicode and see if that works. Only other possible issue is you are using Licensed fonts, CR will not embed those into a PDF.
Also need to know what language you are using and what font type? Make sure you don't use the fonts listed in CR Designer that begin with "@" sign, they are for text rotation and have been known to cause problems when exporting.
Thanks again
Don

  • How to export book pdf using custom presets for all book files in indesign using javascript

    How to export book pdf using custom presets for all book files in indesign using javascript.

    Hi jackkistens,
    Try the below js code.
    Note: you can change your preset name in below (e.g, Your preset name).
    var myBook = app.activeBook;
    myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "Your preset name", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);
    example:
    var myBook = app.activeBook;
    myBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File (myBook.filePath+"/"+myBook.name.replace(/\.indb/g, ".pdf")), false, "[High Quality Print]", myBook.bookContents, "Book_PDF", false);

  • CR4Ev2 problem exporting to PDF containing Turkish characters

    I know there are other threads with similar topics but I also know some people get irritated when people jump onto their threads with their own problems.
    I am using CR4Ev2 and on my machine which I have installed Eclipse on I have no problems
    exporting my reports to PDF, I have Turkish characters which display perfectly (they did not with
    CR4Ev1 so thanks so much for that)
    I have now exported my project as a WAR file and am trying to run it on another machine with the same
    Tomcat and Java versions.
    If I view the report via the CrystalReport Viewer the Turkish characters display with no hassel.
    But if I try export the report to PDF all the Turksh characters now display as ?, (as they did in CR4Ev1)
    Am I missing something, is there something that I am not including in my project that I need
    when exporting the PDF.
    I have installed Adobe Reader 9 on this new machine incase the Turkish langauge fonts were not in
    my version 8, but still get funny ? characters, I even installed the Turksih version of Adobe 9 and still nothing. Is there some other files that I could have installed on my Eclipse machine that I have not installed
    on the second machine.
    I have tried both the following commands to export to PDF
    CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, true);
    and
    CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, false);
    both dont work.
    I have also tried the following (which I used before with CR4Ev1)
    ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
    writeToFileSystem(byteArrayInputStream, EXPORT_OUTPUT); // EXPORT_OUTPUT = "c:\test.pdf"
    private void writeToFileSystem(ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream, String exportFile) throws Exception {
              //Use the Java I/O libraries to write the exported content to the file system.
              byte byteArray[] = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
              //Create a new file that will contain the exported result.
              File file = new File(exportFile);
              FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
              ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(byteArrayInputStream.available());
              int x = byteArrayInputStream.read(byteArray, 0, byteArrayInputStream.available());
              byteArrayOutputStream.write(byteArray, 0, x);
              byteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(fileOutputStream);
              //Close streams.
              byteArrayInputStream.close();
              byteArrayOutputStream.close();
              fileOutputStream.close();
    But that also does not work.
    Please can someone tell me what they think I am missing.
    Oh, another note with the CRJavaHelper.exportPDF(clientDoc, response, false); command
    It does work but I do get the following error in my console (both the Eclipse machine and the new one).

    Darren

    Ted,
    I have double checked the Java version and infact reinstalled jdk6u7 (multilanguage version) just to be
    100% sure, but that did not help.
    ON my Eclipse machine the Fonts are as follows
    Verdana(Embedded Subset)
         Type: TrueType
         Encoding: Built-In
    but on the other machine it is different
    Verdana
        Type: TrueType
        Encoding: Ansi
        Actual Font: Verdana
        Actual Font Type: TrueType
    So that does appear to be the problem, but the question is what controls this?
    As I said the project is exactly the same (same WAR file) so what I have done differently or what am I
    missing in the new enviroment.
    I set the "Text file encoding" for the whole project to UTF-8 before I exported the project (in Eclipse)
    but that didnt help. I even set the properties of each report to UTF-8.
    I am sure I am missing something simple.
    The only other difference is Im running XP Pro on Eclipse machine but W2KSP4 on the other, but
    surely that is not the issue.
    Cheers
    Darren

  • Program crashes when I try to export to pdf file using CR for VS2010

  • Export as PDF with embedded profiles for Grayscale images

    Does InDesign CS6 export pages with Grayscale images as PDF with embedded profiles?
    Possible profiles, for instance:
    – Gamma 2.2
    – Dot gain 20%
    – Black Ink ISO Coated v2 (ECI)
    Export mode:
    – Acrobat 5 or higher
    – No color conversion
    – Embed all profiles
    Test by Acrobat Pro
    Advanced > Print production > Preflight > PDF analysis > List objects using ICC/Lab/Calibrated Color
    [The question is not about the export of Color images as Grayscales]
    Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

    I wouldn't ever use different RGB profiles and different CMYK profiles and
    different Gray profiles in one doc – it's just necessary for tests.
    If you had a hypothetical case where your InDesign document's assigned CMYK profile and intended output was ISOcoated_v2_300_eci and you recieved grayscales for placement with different gray profiles assigned, I think you would have to make the conversion in Photoshop if you want the grayscales to be converted to your ISOcoated_v2_300_eci output intent space.
    So in this case I have a grayscale image with Dot Gain 10% assigned and you can see the 50% patch is reading as 50% in Info panel:
    If set my Working Gray space to the ISO Coated profile as above and do a Convert to Profile with the Destination set to Working Gray:
    The preview doesn't change but I get converted gray values—50% is now 44%:
    If I place the grayscale in an InDesign doc with ISOcoated_v2_300_eci assigned as the CMYK profile, the preview won't change (you have to turn on Overprint /Sep Preview), and the converted numbers will show in Separation Preview. The preview and numbers will also be unchanged in Acrobat if you export to default PDF/X-4

  • Export to PDF problems

    Much of our workflow (Prepress) involves taking in client files, laying them up in InDesign (either for sizing, position, or to build versions), and then submitting that file to our RIP.
    Exporting to PDF is quick, allows for the preservation of transparency, allows you to bypass InDesign's faulty color management UI, and can be batched via plug-ins like Batch Output. But, InDesign can cause a number of issues with the resulting PDFs. CS4 seems to be particularly bad in handling subset fonts. It will create documents that appear in Acrobat 8 to have the "undefined character", but look perfectly fine in Acrobat 9 (ID CS4 is the culprit here - it doesn't happen in CS3).
    I've had elements drop-out, transparencies disappear, and previews corrupted. Is there an export method that is stable and reliable? Or do we have to take a step backward to using the Print command and then Distilling?

    What is to be done to ensure that PDFs from ID CS4 output correctly from a commercial printer?
    We have recently had a costly problem with two PDF ads (producer: Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 Win) that I placed in a ID CS4 layout (Mac) and then exported to a new PDF 1.3 (producer: PDF library 9).
    Note: I have used the same ads before with InDesign CS3/Acrobat 8 workflow and they previewed and printed w/o problems!
    The new exported PDF from InDesign CS4 looked correct in Acrobat 9, but this time a few random characters from subset fonts (Swiss and Zurich) were missing in the printed ads. This was one costly mistake!
    After checking up the scarce information on this problem on the internet I opened the problematic InDesign CS4 PDF layout in Acrobat Reader 8 and the characters in the ads that previewed correctly in Acrobat 9, but were missing in print, were missing here as well!
    Then I tried to print the ID CS4 PDF layout from both Acrobat 8 and 9 to a HP PostSript2 laser printer and got missing characters from Acrobat 8 but all correct characters from Acrobat 9.
    This is a really disturbing problem since we have little control over how PDF ads that we get are produced as well as over the offset printing (RIP) workflow.
    In a nutshell, PDF production process that once worked in CS3 does not work reliably any more in CS4 and the only variable changed is the CS3 to CS4 upgrade on our side.
    Please help!

  • Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

    Hi Experts,
    When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
    Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
    As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
    Looking forward to hear from you guys.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Export to .PDF, hyperlinks issue

    Hello,
    I've been working with Crystal Reports 2008, and so far it all seems to be going well. There is only one issue that I've come across, and I was hoping for some direction.
    For some reason, when I export my form to .PDF, all hyperlinks are removed... I've found that I can export to RTF, then to .PDF, but this sometimes causes some formatting issues.
    Is there any way for crystal reports to keep their hyperlinks when exporting to .PDF?
    - Scott

    Hi, thanks for your reply,
    You know, I've never tried it just out of Crystal Reports 2008 until now. I ran the report, then in the preview tab, I clicked on the field that had the hyperlink formula in it...
    Clicking it just selected the textbox. I tried the same thing in CR2008 Viewer, with no success. The odd thing is that, if I export the report to rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the hyperlinks are there. It's just not there in the viewer, or in the exported .PDF.
    I'll explain how I did the hyperlink, and hopefully you can tell me whether I'm doing something wrong.
    I have a field in our database with the full path to the document that I want to link to. The path is similar to 
    xx.x.xx.xx\subfolder\subfolder\filename.PDF. This path will work so long as the report is being viewed on a PC connected to our local network (which it is).
    Then, in my query, I select the path as one of the database fields. If I just put the field into a text-box, the value is printed correctly, so my query is grabbing the correct path.
    Then, on the text-field that I want, I right click, select 'Format Text...' and select the 'Hyperlink' tab. Then I set the hyperlink type to 'A file', and under hyperlink information, I select the formula button. I then bind the formula to the field with the path in it, save changes and retrun to my form.
    Within CR2008, it doesn't look like there are any hyperlinks, and clicking the field just selects the text. If I export it to .rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the link is there, and it works fine. As I've said, it's just the CR2008 viewer and exported .PDF files where the hyperlink doesn't appear.
    Now, on a whim, I decided to just type the path into the 'file path:' field in the hyperlink tab. Doing this manually allows the link to be clicked in CR2008, but I still can't get the exported .PDF file to recognize the hyperlink. Even if setting the static path allowed my links to be maintained in an exported .PDF, I need the Path to be set based upon the field in our database.
    So, that's where I am now. If you can see something I've done wrong, or something that I haven't tried, please let me know. This is the only thing that I've come across that is causing me any trouble so far. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer, Thanks.

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0. 
    Thread:1220516 and
    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • I can't get InDesign CS3 to export a pdf properly

    Hi all,
    Actually I have resolved the problem but I thought I share with you all.
    I have done up a booklet in CS2, containing 70 over TIFF images, all of them with clipping path done in Photoshop. In between this project, I upgraded to CS3 from CS2. After I amended and saved the .indd file to CS3 version, I encountered problem exporting the booklet to pdf. The pathed text and images were missing from the pdf.
    1. I tried export the pages to JPG, everything looks fine.
    2. Thinking probably the .indd file size is too big. I deleted some pages and export to pdf again. Same problem.
    3. Then I read in the forum that some users encounter problem with TIFF images with clipping paths done up in Photoshop. BUT since I have 70 over images to re-save to psd as some suggested, I decide to put it aside first, hoping it's not clipping path that causes the problem.
    4. Fed up and desperate. I started troubleshooting by deleting one element at a time and try export to pdf. Elements like path text, rounded corners boxes, color-filled boxes, etc.
    5. FINALLY, I found out it was the dotted outline that causes the problem. I successfully exported the pdf after I remove the dotted outline! But client has approved the design and layout, so I can't simply remove the dotted outline! Luckily, I still able to export to pdf without error after I re-applied the dotted lines to the boxes.
    If you encounter the same problem as me, probably you want to try re-apply all the dotted or any fancy line by setting it to 0pt, then to your desire thickness again. =)
    Please share how you resolve your PDF error too!

  • Picture quality decrease if auto export to PDF

    Hi,
    I am using crystal report 8.5 developer version and MS Access (2003).  I have created a report with a JPG company logo inserted.  If I manually export the report to PDF.

  • Export to pdf for thai characters get blank result.

    Dear expert,
    I have a problem, when export Sales Order that contain thai characters to PDF in SAP B1 2007A SP01 PL08, the page converted to pdf successfully for english characters, but not for Thai character. Thai characters did not display anything, just blank.
    I did refer to note 339832 , and i guess this note is for R3 system, and I think for B1 also should use the same method when export to pdf.
    So, anyone have any idea to enable Thai characters to export to pdf in SAP Business One?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    - then click on Email icon to send email with attachment (I want to attach the SO). But, when I check the pdf before send the SO as attachment, i find out that the Thai characters missing/blank (as JimM said it is limitation in SAP for pdf function currently).
    - the email sent successfully, but only the SO attachment is not correct because of Thai characters missing.
    As per your suggestion, yes I can print as pdf first, then manually attach to email, but this involve too many manual steps just to send one SO via email.
    Any way, thanks to all of you for reply.
    JimM, thanks for the info and I will try to proceed to SAP development team for future use.

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.
