Print to pdf option in report

I am working on a drill-down report...
So I have a Summary and a Details report...
Now i need a way to select multiple records in the Summary report so i can print the details for those entries...
I don't want to use the default "save as pdf" option...
It would be nice to add a link or a button...
Is there any way I can do this...

Hi Dhananjay,
According to your description, you have a drilldown report where you have different summary report and entries for toggling down to see detail reports. Now you want to select different summary reports, collect detail reports of those selected summary reports
and put them into a PDF file by using a link or button, right?
In Reporting Service, we cannot collect part of the report into a PDF by only using a link or button directly. What we can do is using parameter to filter multiple records, and using “Go to a report” action and passing this parameter to another report.
Then show the detail information on this report based on different summary. At last export this detail report to a PDF file. We have tested this case in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
Go to your summary report. Create a parameter for summary (select allow multiple values).
Create a filter in dataset.
Create a new Textbox, type “View Detail” in it. Right click on this Textbox, select Textbox Properties.
Select Action tab. In select a report from the list, select your detail report. Add the summary parameter in Use these parameters to run the report.
Go your detail report. It supposes to have a parameter for drilldown already, now you just need to select allow multiple values in Parameter Properties.
Also create a filter in your dataset (use the parameter you have created for drilldown).
Save and preview.
Select summary in dropdown list and click “View Report”.
Click view Detail.
Export report into PDF file.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

No print to PDF option

Very recently (after the latest security update?), I've lost the option on the print dialogue to print to a PDF. A work-around is to preview and then save the preview as a PDF, but I would like to have the print to PDF option back. I've run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions after already booted up and also booting up from an OS-X install disk. When running repair disk permissions after booting up from my startup disk, it takes very a long time and generates many warnings about SIUD files that have been modified and will not be repaired. Related? Any ideas how to get the PDF drop-down option back?

It happened to me too, apparently spontaneously, a month after installing Leopard, so I doubt it is a printer install issue. AppleCare first said "its a Word problem - call Microsoft", but it happens in all applications including iTunes and iPhoto at least. I called AppleCare back and then they said "its an Adobe problem - we don't support it". They wouldn't even try to tell me if the underlying program is Adobe or Preview or what. (How can they not even try and support their own aps, even with a purchased AppleCare program??) I searched Adobe and they disclaim any support of native ap "save as pdf" functions. Repairing permissions and deleting plists for anything I could find related and updating prebinding in Terminal didn't help. I use the pdf function A LOT at work and the workarounds through other aps is too inconvenient. I also can't afford to reinstall the OS every month. Grrrrrr....

Acrobat PDF 8 printer missing pdf options

I have seen this discussed in a few places, but have never come across a fix that works for me. Basically when trying to print to the pdf printer, the pdf options is not available in the drop-down of printer settings. This is affecting about 10 of my machines at different sites.
I have tried removing the ppd and letting Acrobat repair it. I have also tried multiple other suggestions to change the permissions of the ppd file. the other method I have tried is to remove the pdf preferences from ~/Library/Preferences.
I am running 10.4.11 on all of these machines with the latest version of Acrobat 8 professional.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
-Ken

I've been playing with this for a couple of months now and haven't got any closer to a solution. It is not application specific. The problem can be seen when printing from any application to the Adobe PDF 8 printer.
The only thing I can think of that may be different is that I modified the Adobe installer to include the volume serial number for our organization.
Things I have tried that have not worked:
* Cleared caches, preferences, fixed permissions, verified no disk problems
* removed PPD, and PDF plugins from /Library/Printers/PPD\ Plugins/ and /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf088
* removed preferences and application support files from /Library and ~/Library
* Let Acrobat repair everything
* Reset print system
* Ran all updates
* Manually uninstalled CS3 and re-installed
I have the same problem on Leopard, but I am able to fix it by fixing the two aliases located in ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.print/AdobePDF8/Aliases/ Or just simply delething them and letting them regenerate.
I know more people out there are having the same problem, I just don't see any answers out there that actually work.
Thank you,
Ken

Print booklet: pdf option?

Hi, I'm using Adobe CC InDesign and I'm trying to "print" (save) a booklet but I only have the post script option and I want to save it as pdf to print it later.
What can I do? Thanks

Unless you use Windows or an older version of OS X, and have an older version of Acrobat Pro that installed the PDF printer (see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Acrobat’s Adobe PDF Printer Replaced in Snow Leopard ) you don't have a print to PDF option available. You'll have to print to Postscript, then distill.

I am missing the 'print to pdf' option on my entire adobe creative suite 'HELP!'

I really need some help. After installing a new printer to my computer I noticed that my adobe programs would not longer allow me to Print to PDF. I originally thought it was a problem with my mac, but after doing tech support with them, we discovered that it is actually a problem within my adobe programs. After talking with mac, I decided to try uninstalling my new printer and rebooting my computer - this made no difference. Then I made sure all my adobe updates were current. ALL UPDATED. I also tried downloading a trial of the new acrobat 11, still nothing. Finally I uninstalled my entire suite and reinstalled it. Throughout this whole ordeal I rebooted my computer after every step. NOTHING.
Please help, I really don't know what else to try and I haven't been able to find an answer within the forums.
Just to make sure that I am clear. I am trying to resize a huge amount of PDF's created from illustrator files and would like to do this by printing to pdfs. When you try to print now, there are no options because there are no printer drivers at all.
Argh!
hope someone has an idea, I'm working on a project with a deadline and really require a solution.
Thanks
Gilbo Jaggins.

Hi, thanks for answering. No, I haven't updated the OS recently. However, doesn't the Adobe suite utilize it's own print to pdf driver? This is what I was told by Mac. Safari, Textedit, etc, all can print to pdf, so can't be a Mac issue.

Need to add print and download options for report in new window

Hi,
On one of the columns empid of the report1 (which is on the dashboard) , I am using navigation and pointing it to report2.
Report1 has all the links, print, download and refresh (I enabled them using the section properties) but when I click on empid and it takes me to report2, then I don't see any links under that report. I want to include print and download links for report2 when it opens in the new window.
I know, one way is to embedd that report in the dashboard page and hide it, but is there any other way of doing it?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Just to clarify again, I am using a navigation from report1 (which is on the dashboard) to report2 (which is not on the dashboard).
As per the requirements, I can't put my report2 on any dashboard page and hide it and then use navigation. Also, I can't enable the print and download options for report1 which is already on the dashboard. Doing this gives me print and download options for report2 but that is not the requirement.
Is there any way to have print and download options for report2 when I am directly navigating to the report2 from report1 and not the report2 on any dashboard page which is hidden.
I will really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
RonnyPlease explain why you can't do what I said. What is the "requirements" that prevent this? It would be transparent to the user, really. They just click and get their report.

No "convert to pdf " and no " print to pdf " option after install

I installed adobe acrobat reader professional 8 at home ( WIN 7 ) and everything works great there, but after installing it at work ( WIN 7 ) i have no option when i right click a file in the drop down menu that says " convert to adobe pdf ", and also in word i have no option to " Print to PDF " in the printer menu.
Thoses options are on my home PC but not work PC ? the only thing i can think of is a USER RESTRICTION that is in place that does not give my user account the option to use thoses two options ?
Im I wrong ? and if so how can i get thoses options at work like i have at home ?
TY for any help giving

First, you either have Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 Or Adobe Reader 8. Acrobat Reader Professional 8 does not exist.
If you have Acrobat, we'll try and work this out. If you have Reader, you don't get either of those items since it's made for viewing/printing PDF's.
My suggestion is to open the application you installed then go to the Help dropdown and see whether it says Acrobat or Reader. Also, be sure you don't have both products installed since that could cause similar issues as this.

Print: Compress PDF Option Help - Leopard

hello,
as a preface, we're a photography company that routinely saves PDF files with images to send to clients for approval.
i understand that with leopard, they removed the Compress PDF option from the print menu. i followed the instructions, opened it up with Preview and saved as reduced file size. the images all came out VERY grainy. with the Compress PDF option, the image quality was great.
so i went and restored Compress PDF using this link: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
however the images still come out as grainy as they did with the "reduce file size" option. anyone have any advice on how to get it working like it did in the previous OS?
thanks much

I had more or less the same issur.
Try this tip I posted :

Print to PDF option is not there anymore

I was trying to create a PDF via PRINT.
I was changing the settings and now the option to print to PDF is gone.
any ideas how to get it back?

I'm working on CS5 and when printing, under the Color Management pull down, there is one for Output.
There is a button on the bottom right "BLEED"
You can set the size there.
I also found my Print to PDF...
it's under PRINT SETTIINGS.
I could have sworn it was in the lower left, but that's browser.
still don't see how to set bleeds if I Save As.

Print: Compress PDF Option is Gone!

Print: Compress PDF is Gone in Leopard for PowerPoint. I used it often. I tried to compress in Preview but the resolution is way too grainy. Help!!!!!!

OK - one step forward!
You need to create a new "Filter" in Colorsync. Start Colorsync, select Filters, press the + button to create a new filter. Give it a meaningful name like "Compress PDF Medium Quality".
Click on the down arrow at the right and select Add Image Effects Components.
Choose Image Compression from the list - image Compression attributes will appear.
Change MODE to JPG (it works for me)
Change the QUALITY to near maximum (you may need to experiment with this)
Close this new filter by clicking on the arrow at left.
Now OPEN the PDF with the Colorsync FILE/OPEN menu selection.
Select EXPORT from the Colorsync FILE menu
Your new filter should appear in the drop-down menu for Quartz Filter
Doing this reduced a 1Mb PDF to 450Kb and the image quaility was acceptable. The built-in filter reduced it to 280K but image quality was poor.

Saving/Printing as PDF- options

Hi all,
Question about saving and/or printing an FM book as a PDF. Is there a way to specify what version of PDF it is created in? I am trying to create and save a doc as a pre PDF Version 1.5 -- I don't see this option anywhere. Is it possible? Or does it just create the PDF in the version according to what is installed on my machine (i.e. it creates a version 1.5 b/c I am using Acrobat V9 Pro Extended )?
I'm using Windox XP, FM 9.0p237 as part of the TCS2.
TIA,
Adriana

Have I mentioned lately how grateful I am for these forums?!
Arnis - thank you very much. That is the setting exactly I am looking for! I appreciate the fast and accurate help so much.
Another question related if you don't mind -- when I print the FM book as a ps file, as soon as I open the ps file it opens automatically with distiller and creates the PDF in whatever settings I last used in the distiller. Is there a way to just have the distiller open, then select the compatibility, then create the PDF file? As it is now, I open distiller, select my settings, close the distiller, then print the FM book as ps file, and then run the distiller on the ps file. But then I have to remember to put my compatibility settings back to "Standard" before my next job.
Thanks again!

Print another PDF inside Oracle Report

We print an oracle report to PDF via oracle Forms, some customers have seperate PDFs that they want to link to the run oracle report.
Ideally they want to merge the two into one document. Has anyone had any exprience of this or know of annyway to acheive it?
I know there are a few 3rd party software providers that caim to merge 2 pdfs but wondered the community thoughts?
Thanks

I did do a search and found the itext librarys but also when searched with oracle found that others were looking for ways to build it into the oracle application server.
I wondered if this had been something that Oracle had looked into acheiving that is all and when you suggested i look at examples i didnt know if you meant an oracle example.
Thanks ill review the website and see if i can get what i need.
