PDF report printing is displaying '?' mark instead of thai characters

Hi All,
When trying to print PDF report I am getting question mark "?" for thai characters.
In browser it is showing properly.The problem is happening only when I open pdf file.It is showing "?" mark instead of thai characters.
I tried developing simple application in apex.oracle.com and I could reproduce the problem.It is showing "?" mark.
Below is the link:

paswd: thai123
Thai characters are displaying properly outside Apex.So there is no problem with BI Publisher.
I also tried the suggestion given in below link but no luck
Re: Cannot print out Chinese , show as '?' in pdf report
When I try the same thing in apex.oraclecorp.com it is working fine .I could clearly see thai characters.It is working fine
My Adobe version is 8.x
Is there any difference compared to apex.oraclecorp.com and apex.oracle.com settings for BI publisher?
nls_language on server = 'THAI_THAILAND.TH8TISASCII and' 'PlSqlLanguage = AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8'
System Locale is set to thai and also the browser encoding set to thai windows
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Kind Regards,
Anwar

Hello Mark,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.

  • PDF Report prints Portrait Instead of Landscape

    Hi,
    We've created several PDF reports - some that print portrait and some landscape. For the portrait reports, they print fine both from Adobe Acrobat and directly from Oracle to the printer.
    When we try to print a Landscape report, it prints as Landscape from Acrobat, but portrait from Oracle. We followed note 421358.1 on Metalink on how to set up a new .cfg file , print style, and print driver for printing landscape reports, but now it's not printing at all when we assign the style to the report. We tried removing -pairs and -shrink from the cfg file (Oracle analyst suggetsion) and it's still not printing.
    Has anyone else had this much trouble trying to set up Landscape printing? We're using the acroread tool.
    Thanks,
    Suzanne

    If you've bounced your concurrent manager, double checked your command string and it still doesn't print right, what O/S do you have and what version of acroread do you have? There's a known bug in Adobe 7 on HP-UX where landscape reports will generate in landscape correctly(i.e. copies=0) but when sent directly to a printer, they come out portrait. It happened to us on our system.
    I tried -shrink and -landscape but it didn't work. Our user decided to just generate them and print them elsewhere.

  • PDF Report - Fonts not displayed

    Some of the PDF reports which display correctly, after being edited, don't display the text in the output PDF. This issue is happening when run as a concurrent request in Oracle Apps 11i, but in local machine, the PDF report works fine.
    This is happening with one developer user, but for the other it works fine.
    Any clue?

    In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

  • Does creating Excel,Word,PDF reports & printing in Apex need licensing ?

    I am new to this Apex 4.0
    I have installed the Apex 4.0 with Oracle 10g database.
    Now using Apex if I create any web application, and develop some reports in the web application.
    1) Now to do the printing of the reports in Excel,Word,PDF does Apex need some other components to be installed ?
    2) Does those components needs licensing ? or are they free like Apex 4.0 ?

    Hi,
    Yes you need other components
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/configure-printing-093060.html
    Some of solutions need license, like BI Publisher.
    There is also free solutions using e.g. Cocoon, Jasper reports ...

  • SQL Report - PDF Report Printing. How to show one row per page?

    Hello
    I have successfully created a simple SQL Report.
    Than I enabled Report Printing to PDF (default Report Layout).
    Export to PDF is working good by default.
    Now I want to see one report row per one PDF page. Is it possible?
    How I can change the amount of rows per PDF page using default report layout?
    I tried to create a User Layout with MSWord Plugin. it's quite suitable for data forms.
    But I still did not find a way around for my question.

    I would create an User Layout (.rtf) with MSWord. Load your XML data and use the table wizzard to put the fields in your document.
    Put this code after your last field and before the 'E' (= <?end for-each?> tag):
    <?split-by-page-break:?>

  • Reading PDF reports from Top to Bottom instead of from left to right in WS

    When viewing a PDF Report in workspace and you choose next page, it goes left to right then down to the next section left to right when you have multiple members in the column. Is there a way to change this so that the view goes top to bottom for the first member then moves right and does the same for the other members. I thought I once saw a setting for this.

    Hi,
    We have also tried to the same requirement.  But we can't. 
    Only one thing we can do is, the end report can be set at the bottom with the property of "Align to bottom".  But the Horizonal, vertical lines and grid not fills from the last item to end of report beginning.
    I think this is most required to view the document perfectly or neatly. 
    Particularly in indian localization this is the must since the customer need to be declared the specific neat format to the legal departments.
    Hope SAP Support should solve the issue.  But I am wondering this question has been posted many times by many people but unfotunately nobody I think get the solution.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Venkatesan G.

  • Java app is writing question marks instead of extended characters

    People,
    since I've installed an Sun E3000 with Solaris9 I'm having problems with accents (extended characters) in my java application: - it writes question marks instead of accents.
    This machine used to be Solaris 2.6 and we formatted/installed Solaris9 and got the problem since then.
    My application uses a thin driver to connect to Oracle9i database, and via unix I can call sqlplus and insert chr(199) and SELECT it (�) with no problems, but application writes ? in nohup.out.
    If you can point me in any direction, please let me know.
    Regards, Orlando.

    I'm pretty sure that the default locale "C" corresponds to the 7-bit US-ASCII character set. Again, this is all the methaphorical shot in the dark, but it's the only time that I've seen this happen. Sun's own documentation says to use something other than C or US ASCII if international or special characters will be needed.
    Here is my /etc/default/init for ISO 8859-15.
    TZ=US/Eastern
    CMASK=022
    LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-15
    LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
    LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-1
    LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-15
    LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-15
    LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-15
    If the system that you're using can be rebooted, try changing the /etc/default/init file to something like the above, but with the specific for your locale. Obviously, en_US is not your area, but I have no idea what Brazil's would be.

  • PDF file displays boxes instead of Japanese characters

    Hi,
    I am creating PDF files with a custom third-party set of sortware tools (Infragistics NetAdvantage).
    This particular PDF document contains Japanese text using the Meiryo font and this font is embedded into the PDF file. It works fine in Windows (using the Adobe Acrobat Reader application), even on a machine where Meiryo is not installed.
    But when viewed on the iPad, the text is displayed as a bunch of empty boxes.
    Also, I'm not sure if it's related, but when viewing the same document on Window XP using FoxIt (instead of the Adobe Acrobat Reader), the text is not shown at all - there's just an empty space and not even boxes.
    I would love to attach a sample PDF file here, but I don't see any way to do that... is there a way to attach files to these questions?

    So the empty boxes are indeed shown by built-in preview, and Adobe Reader is also not able to render the content and it appears as blank.
    After investigation , it turns out that system fonts on ipad does not have the required glyphs ( ~ symbol ) to render these characters. This is Apple’s bug and you may have to report this issue , indicating that it is not rendered in Preview / i-books on the ipad.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    Thanks,

  • Creating a PDF from a SAAS app creates boxes instead of Japanese characters

    I'm using an online app (Unleashed Software) to "print" invoices, and the printed invoices show boxes instead of Japanese characters. The really weird thing about this problem, is that it occurs only on certain devices. I've tested on Macs, Windows, Android, and iOS, and on some devices I get the problem, and on some devices I don't. It's not just a Windows problem, or a iOS problem. Additionally, I use different browsers, from Chrome, to IE, to Firefox, to Safari. Changing the browser doesn't seem to help when it's on a device that won't output Japanese characters in a PDF properly.
    I'm wondering how PDFs are generated when using online software. Since I can't reproduce the problem on certain devices, it seems to me that the software is using some local settings to render the PDF incorrectly.
    Any ideas of how I could go about troubleshooting this problem?

    Hi,
    Could you please answer the following questions
    1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
    Go to Help-> About to find out.
    2.What is the font you are using on the report?
    Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
    And export the report to PDF format.
    This may help you
    Thanks,

  • Reports Builder - problem displaying Korean characters

    Client-server setup (database 10G unicode AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8, client Windows XP AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and users have no trouble viewing characters in the application using forms.
    But running the reports through Reports Builder creates inverted question marks instead of Korean characters. The reports are not displayed on the screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.
    My question:
    1. Is Reports Builder Unicode compliant?
    2. If yes - where and how do we set up the correct NLS_LANG?
    3. If not - what is the solution?
    Thanks, Veronika

    But running the reports through Reports Builder
    creates inverted question marks instead of Korean
    characters. The reports are not displayed on the
    screen, but saved into *.csv file on the server.Is the Windows where you run Reports Builder Korean? What is the Windows Code page (ACP)?
    What version of Reports Builder / Developer Suite?
    You are not running the same report through a Reports server?
    In a general sense, for oci apps, there's a conversion from database character set to client character set when retrieving the data (to match client environment/locale), and likewise a conversion to the database character set when storing character data.
    With Korean (Hangul) characters in the db, these characters should be converted to replacement character such as inverted question mark (¿) when retrieved to a client with character set Latin-1 (iso 8859-1) - since its repertoire includes no Korean characters.
    So, if the client side os is code page 949, you could try indicating a client character set of KO16MSWIN949. (You could try also by "lying" if the code page is different, but then you need to take care to set NLS_LANG as needed as it might affect other apps.)
    Also, read this chapter of the Globalization Support Guide:
