How to define PDF layout when exporting?

With Discoverer 10g 10.1.2.45.46c, is it possible to define the PDF layout (landscape vs. portrait) and also can I shrink the report to fit x pages?
If not, are these future features?

In Viewer, the export to PDF and print to PDF generate identical output. If you want to change the size or the layout of the PDF output, go to the Page Setup screen in Viewer and set the page options appropriately. Then, when you click to send the worksheet by email and select PDF as the export format, the generated PDF will pick up the layout properties from the page setup options.
More information:
In the print dialog in both components you can do the following and more:
- Specify the paper size (A4, Letter, etc...)
- Specify a shrink value (i.e. shrink to 40, 50, 60%, etc..)
- Specify that the print output should fit in 3x4, or 2x4 pages, etc...
All this is documented in detail in the Discoverer doc.
For Discoverer Plus, take a look at Ch 18 of the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus User's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), B13915-04
For Discoverer Viewer take a look at the Oracle® Business Intelligence Discoverer Viewer User's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.1), B13987-04.
Ch 4 - Dialog reference - has a section titled: "Printable Page Options page: Content tab" which should give you some idea of the print capabilities available there.

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
Hi,
I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

How to create a hyperlink when exporting .pdf?

Hi guys,
I've been doing quite a bit of research on how to make an object into a hyperlink when exporting my .ai as .pdf.
So far I've come across guides that show the method of using Object > Slice and the Attributes' Image Map, but none of them seem to work when I open my exported .pdf.
How do you guys create objects with links when exporting .pdf?
Thanks in advance.

InDesign, most probably.
Or create the PDF in Illustrator and use Acrobat (Pro) afterwards to make links.
Depends on what's inside the document.

How to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a container?

Hello,
I'd like to use an object of type CL_SALV_TREE, that is placed on a custom container (and therefore not displayed in fullscreen).
But how do I get the functionality to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE not in fullscreen mode? If you use it in fullscreen mode, you just have to define the function code in your gui status and everything is ok.
But since I want to place my CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container, that method does not work. If I call <my_salv_tree>->get_functions( ) it returns a table, that holds just six entries. So, the appropiate function for storing a layout does not seem to be in the default set of functions, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a custom container. But how do I activate this function?
I already call the functions get_layout() and set_key() - so that shouldn't be the problem. Or is just not possible to use CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container and have the possibility to store layouts?
Kind regards, Lars

How to keep User Order when exporting a collection?

I made a collection of about 300 VC's, chosen from many folders in my catalogue. These images were taken over a 10 year period, using 3 different cameras and having different names and file types. The collection was sorted by "User Order". I spent a good deal of time organizing the collection so that the images made visual sense when shown as a slide show on a digital album.
I exported the collection to my hard drive as jpegs, and checked the box to place them back in my catalogue, in a designated subfolder within my parent folder. All went well except they are now completely out of order, and that order makes no logical sense whatsoever - not by date, metadata, filename, attributes, nothing that I can figure out. I have to start all over again to reorder them - something that will take several hours.
What did I do wrong? How can I keep my designated user order when I export a collection?
I am using LR 4.3.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi Rene,
Lightroom does not maintain user order upon exporting. It would make no sense when not exporting back to catalog, but when exporting back to catalog I can see that it may be desirable - consider making a feature request (Idea) here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
In the mean time, I *think* what most people do to assure export ordering is to name the files according to desired order, then sort by filename. I could be wrong about that, but that's all I got.
Beware: If said approach is adopted, one would not be able to do incremental exports and maintain such ordering (e.g. when single image added to publish service), so all files would need to be re-exported if such change was made.
I have requested access to sort order and added-order via plugin for plugin-assisted remedy, but so far no go.
Another idea (which may not be acceptable) is to use capture-time to maintain sort order of exported photos (via a plugin like Exportant), then it would be easy enough to maintain user order by manipulating capture time (of exported photos I mean, post-export), but then you'd lose the true capture-time, granted: capture time could be put into some other field, but that might foul things up downstream... hmm - sorry for rambling/brain-storming out loud.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea.

How to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

How to maintain pixel size when exporting?

When exporting an edited image (ex: 20 MB) from Aperture to a desktop folder, I choose file>export>versions>jpeg original. When I open the exported image in the desktop folder (it opens in preview), the Tools/Inspector window says that the image is now only 2MB. This has not always happened. Can someone tell me what I might be doing or not doing that is causing this, or what settings I need to change?
Thank you.

golindy,
JPEG is a lossy format that relies on two ways of reducing the file size. The first is the lossy part that throws away data that is percieved to be unimportant for human vision, the resulting data is then further compressed losslessly using the same type of compression zip uses (this is why zipping a JPEG doesn't lead to further size reduction).
The more you throw away in the first part, the more likely the image is to suffer from 'compression artefacts'. The number you select on export determines how much data gets thrown away.
I don't know what '12' officially means for Apple, but from eyeballing files, it seems like it throws away pretty close to zero. So a file output with 12 is top quality.
Aperture has always worked the same way here, it hasn't changed during any update.
However, some things that may affect it are:
1) The effeciciency of the both compression algorithms seems to improve over time.
So a year ago, a 20 Mega Pixel image might compress down to a 5MB file using a quality setting of 10. Today that very same file may compress down to a 4MB file at quality 10. But it's important to note, the quality of the file will be the same, quality 10. All that has happened is the more efficient algorithm has allowed an extra 1MB of file space saving.
2) The raw converters periodically get improved with new rendering. One area that has continually improved in Apeture is noise supression and more natural sharpening.
These impact the first part of the compression process. A noisy image with harsh shapening will compress less than a clean image with more subtle sharpening. So better raw processing can also impact the exported size. Note, this one works in both directions, an improved conversion that resolves more details will output a larger file size, whereas an improved conversion that gives less noise will output a smaller file size.
So in your case, I think what was happening was you were not losing quality, just gaining file size efficiency, and now you have changed to quality 12, you are exploiting that file space saving by now outputting higher quality files.

Retain multi-page layout when exporting to PDF

I have created a multi-page layout, I want to export this to PDF but retain the multi-page view so the client can easily understand how it will look. Currently it exports to single pages rather than the nice 3 page spread I have created.

Actually it seems it doesn't need to be created as facing pages, as long as you have the doc set not to shuffle and you've dragged the pages together into a single unit. Check the "Spreads" box in the export dialog.

How to define cells/columns for export/re-import to another app

I want to export a basic contact list to then import into another program (it's an email program, doesn't matter). It's a basic table with 3 columns: first name, last name, email address. How do you define the columns/cells so when importing in another app it knows what is what. Want to export as a tab-delimited or comma-delimited text file.
thx.

Christopher,
It's hard to say what that un-named other app might require for field identification, but your best bet is to have the field titles in a Header Row.
To produce a comma-delimited text file, assure that your data table is the only thing in your document. Isolating the data in this way will prevent complications. Then, File > Export > CSV.
To produce a tab-delimited text file, Select and Edit > Copy the table in Numbers and then Edit > Paste and Match Style in a Pages doc. Save the Pages doc.
Regards,
Jerry

How to remove ' undefined exceptions', when export to excel within portal ?

hi friends :
   when I export sth to excel within portal , there always appeared 'undefined exceptions' , sure . im not define excepthions but i do not wanna dislay it , coz it distoyed the the overall sense of the report , and others do not understand what's that mean
   i think it should be configured somewhere ?
   thanks very much :L

Hello Bruce.
I just want to clarify the situation that you are referring to... Are you saying that when you log into the Infoview application and view a report, then click the "Export this report" button from the viewer. Then it gives you all of the various "File Formats" that you can export to. In that situation, you wish to only see PDF and Excel as options.
If that is the situation that you are referring to, then there is no documented or supported way to remove the "File Formats" that can be exported to from the Crystal Reports viewer. The Infoview application is a "black box" that is provided as-is by SAP BusinessObjects for customers to make use of. For that reason, there is no documented way to make changes to it.
Regards.

Damaged .pdf file when exporting / printing

Post Author: darrens
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
I scoured Google, these forums, and Crystal support but haven't found a solution to my issue.
I have a Crystal report (version XIR2) served from an Enterprise server. I also have a ASP.NET C# application that calls and runs this report in a DHTML CrystalReportViewer. The actual report runs just fine.
Clicking the print button in the report viewer's top toolbar causes the viewer to attempt to export the report to a .pdf, from where you can actually print it. This is where my problem lies! When Adobe Reader opens and attempts to open the temporary .pdf file generated from the viewer, I get the message "Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." This also happens when trying to export the report directly into PDF format. Everyone who would run this report, including me, is using Adobe Reader 8.1.
Exporting to other file formats seems to work just fine. Excel and Word have no problems.
Also, interestingly enough, exporting to PDF and trying to print in Internet Explorer 7 works just fine! These problems seem to only occur in IE6. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to use IE7 yet, so we are stuck with IE6. Additionally, we are stuck using the DHTML viewer, so other viewers, like the ActiveX or Java viewers, are not options for me.
I had found some articles in Business Object support saying this problem was related to WebSphere, and there were various solutions I found related to that. However, WebSphere isn't used anywhere in our organization, so this problem must be stemming from elsewhere.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read / reply to this thread. If anyone needs more information, feel free to ask!
Thanks,Darren

Hi,
I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ Maybe you can have a try.

How to change file type when exporting a report with a background job

Hi,
I've set up a background job in SM36 to execute a SAP Query I've created, set to send the results as a file to an external email address. When it arrives the file is a .htm (and it seems to cut out after a few pages of data), but I'd like it to export as a .xls, .txt or .csv.
I've checked the job, the query and my user settings, but I can't find where the change the file extension used - can anyone please tell me how to do it?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Shiva,
Can you please confirm where in SQ01/2 the file path information / settings are?
Thanks,

How to really resize photos when exporting?

I need to cut and resize images to 170x170px and I am trying to do the job by using iPhoto 08.
No problem for editing and cutting the photos, but when I use the Export command to resize them to 170x170 I see that only photos with a bigger pixel size will be reduced to 170x170 while smaller ones eg. 119x119px are not resized to 170x170.
I know I will loose detail but it is what I need to do. I also want that the pictures are using 72 dpi and not more.
Is there any way to do this using iPhoto08 ?
Which other software can I try to do these simple and common operations?
Thanks

I also want that the pictures are using 72 dpi and not more.
Don't worry about dpi unless those small file are for printing. The only values you need to consider are the pixel dimensions.
To enlarge an image from 117 x 117 to 170 x170 you'll need an application like Photoshop Elements for Mac which can change pixel size, dpi and print size like this.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
