Report previews and prints with strange characters

I have a custom XI application which uses CCrystalReportViewer11 (C++ wrapper around ActiveX control) to preview reports. This works for hundreds of installations, but for one the text is displayed and printed with strange characters. If the customer exports the report the characters are displayed as normal. What could be wrong?

More than likely, it's a printer driver issue. It may even be that there is no default printer driver installed. Also, see if setting a different default printer driver helps. You can also set the "No Printer" option in the report by opening it in the designer and going to the File menu and selecting "Page Setup".

Crystal Report Preview and Print error

Hi,
I am trying my first Crystal report in SAP; I have created one report using OITE table and run it in Crystal Designer without any problem; Then I added it to SAP / Manager Crystal Report / New Report, but I get the following error message when I click the Preview and Print button every time;
The file does exist and the location is setup correctly; I dont understand why SAP can not find the file; Any comments?

Hi,
When you google on "[Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions|http://www.google.com/search?q=CouldnotloadfileorassemblyCrystalDecisions]" you will find quite some hits.
One that might be important for you could be http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/b0fc930f-5fc8-4475-bfe7-ad56616e838d/
That is depending on how the report is made.

Preview and Printing of Chinese Characters in Smartform

Hi everyone!
I have a development that needs to output in Smartform a combination of Chinese and English characters, on an English Logon,
When I debug the form, the Chinese characters are shown in the debug screen, but when it is previewed or printed, it shows garbage. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks a lot! Points for any helpful answer!

Hi
check this OSS Note
OSS Note: 776507
Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
IN06%WINDOW2
MT0024401289
CP11000000E

UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Crystal Reports 2008 and printing with Zebra printer issue

Hello,
Since we have upgraded the reports from XI to 2008, the reports are not printing well in the Zebra printers.
The report gets shrunk to half the size.
Is there something that needs to be done after the upgrade?
Thanks in advance

Both, install it on your PC first and test. If all is well then build or use the various deployment packages available from our download site.
You may want to test this with a few reports also. Open the report and check off use Default printer and test other printer options. I don't know what options the QA team were using so it's best for you to test. If you don't have a Zebra printer ask one of your customers to do some testing for you.
According to Zebra Developers all their drivers are based on the same code so they should all work the same. Once you have one working they all should work using the same options.
Thank you
Don

Report preview and printing performance issues in CRXI R2

Hello to all,
We have successfully upgraded a corporate Web reporting site from CR8 to CRXI R2 Server SP3 VS2005 Asp2. Using managed reports, and native Oracle data access, performance has greatly improved. The CRXI site displays the first page in half the time as CR8. These are often very large reports.
The problem we are having is when you try to print, export, or just page thru a report in previewer. It takes as long to go to page 2, or to bring up the print dialog screen as it did for page 1 to display in the first place. This is drastically different from the performance on CR8. On the old site, when a report displayed, you could flip thru it like a Word document. Hardly any pause at all. Clicking on the printer icon brought up the print box immediately.
Is there a way to tell the 'CrystalReportsViewer' to load all pages before showing the first page?
If not, is anyone aware of a third party replacement for the CRV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Joe Early

Hello Joseph,
What you're seeing is essentially expected behavior for a CR Server (BO Enterprise) based report. When you try to page through a report or print it you're basically rerunning the report on each button click.
To get around this behavior you can put your Report Object / InfoStore object into session and view, page, or print the session object from the viewer.
You can review [Business Objects Note 1203389|https://bcp.wdf.sap.corp/sap/sapnotes/display/0001203389] for an example with the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. You'll want to add check for the session on post back, etc. but the code should give you an idea of how to get started.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Wrong print preview and printed color from Lightroom 1.3

I am running Vista Ultimate and i just installed the driver for my Canon PIXMA Pro9000.
When i try to print from Lightroom 1.3 the colors are very muted, even when i do print preview the colors are wrong in the print preview screen.
No matter what i do i cant seem to get lightroom to Print Preview AND print with the right colors.
The image on this link http://www.pbase.com/charld/image/94711330
(on the left) is what i see and get when i do a print preview and print and my monitor image is on the right.
If i use Canon DPP the colors are not that bad, its a bit dark but that was easily fixed and i can get it quite close to what i see on the screen. My monitor is not calibrated..The images were all shot in RAW and converted to DNG...Do i need to re-install Lightroom as i don't think print preview has anything to do with the printer i have attached....
Thanks

I got the solution from another forum:
http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?t=1613
1. in the Print module, clicking on the Print Settings button ...
2. Choose your media type
3. Under Print Quality choose High
4. Under Color Intensity choose Manual. In the subsequent dialogue box choose None.
5. In the Print right hand panel under Color Management choose your print media - PR1 for Photo Paper Pro, SG1 for semi-gloss &c
6. Rendering intent Perceptual.
7. Hit Print and OK.
this resolved my issue!!

Preview and print a Crystal report prompted for the sa password

Dear All,
Our customer has Crystal report add-on to be installed. When we Preview and print a Crystal report, we got a window prompted for the sa password. Even we type in a correct password, it still says wrong password...
Every time when I open my report in Crystal Basic 2008 on the server, then go database expert >> My connections >> click + in front of the connection name, it asks my sa password. I type in my password then save and close. Next time when I open the report and go my connections, I have to type in my password again. This only happens on one customer.
Any idea? Thanks a lot.

Yuka

Hi Yuka,
1) All their SAP client workstation, they have to have use SQL2008 CD and install SQL Client on it
Correct, MS does NOT support MDAC or WDAC when connecting to SQL 2008.
2) Then go ODBC >> SQL Native Client 10.0 >> Create a new connection to SAP server. Should we use sa user or another use that has the same authorization as sa?
Correct again if they are also using ODBC to connect, as for using the sa account or creating a new one is up to you. I suggest creating a Crystal account with what ever rights your app needs, this way if tracing it turned on etc. you can confirm who is actually running the report.
3) Then from MY Crystal report, I have to use ODBC connection as well?
Just to clarify, if you created your reprots using OLE DB then they can do so also. But you need to update your connection properties. Open each report click on Database, Set Location, scroll down to OLE DB and expand and then choose MS SQL Server Native 10 as your OLE DB provider, fill in all the logon info and then verify the database. Do the same for each subreport also.
Save your report and either send them the new one or if you are doing this remotely then replace the original report.
VERIFY your reports to confirm they still return correct data and do work as expected.
Or if you are using ODBC then yes you do select the MS 10 driver with a new DSN. Then do the above to update the reports to all use ODBC as their data sources.
Hope this is all clear now....
Thanks again
Don

Error in Preview and Print in Crystal Report Viewer 2.0.0.7 in Workstation

JIT Debugging
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example
configuration
    system.windows.forms jitDebugging=true
configuration
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

"Preview and Print " report extension in Order Management

Looking for help on how to add extra information to this report.. I did setup the profile to implement the how to implement PrintExtensionObject interface with method getPrintExtensionXMLFragment.... and created the class file and compiled on Java_top. ( Am very new to java)
-- enabled the logs
-selected an order in OM and via action button (preview and print)
--Shows error message "An error occured during the PDF document generation. Please contact your system Administrator."
As per the fnd logs table (SELECT * FROM fnd_log_messages WHERE message_text LIKE '%PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc%';)
shows the following ..
PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc: Checking for Customer Extension Class
PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc: Custom Extension Class Found
PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc:Successfully instantiated the Custom Extension Class
PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc: Retrieving Custom Extension XML failed
So I am sure that the issue is on the class which I made.. but not sure what is the cause (Again as mentioned I am new to java) and can anyone help me on this..
( I did check the PrintAMImpl.java which calls this profile (Custom class) and can see the above message.
(Oracle PrintAMImp.java related codes are this
s29 = ((OADBTransaction)getDBTransaction()).getProfile("ONT_PRINT_CUSTOMER_EXTN_OBJECT");
if(s29 != null || s29 == "")
if(flag3)
logfile.writeln("PrintAM:writeBusinessDoc: Custom Extension Class Found", 1);

Any help will be appreciated

There is a custom extension class available for this "Print and Priview" report. You can implement that and return the SQL Query in the class so that it gets executed and adds the custom attribute information at the end of XML file and you can modify the layout to add the information. The extended java class can return "select statement" or XML data. If it returns select statement code executes the query and adds the xml data at the end or returned XML data will be added. Look for Profile "OM: Printed Document Extension Class Name"

Print preview and print doesn't show the correct out put result when i connnected with EPSON LX-300+II

I hava an html webpage with css & print css. The print preview and print doesn't give correct output there is alignment problem when i connected with EPSONLX-300+II. But iam connected with hp laserjet they show the correct output with firefox. Please fix the problem as soon.....

I have same problem as you, but later I know how to deal with it.
1. change your print default preferences to
print quality into (120x144 dpi, or other which suites you)
mine goes well to 120x144 dpi
2. Before print enter File->Page setup, set true to option shrink to page width
in order to fit your page into your desired paper
(firefox will resize your content to suit the paper you choose).
If you dont want this you can disable this option.
3. Still in Page Setup, if checkbox "Print background (color & images)" is unchecked then
white text will be printed black.
Set this checked if you want to print white text as it is color.
I hope it answers your question.

Preview and Print in Actions Tab

Hi,
I have customized the sales order acknowledgement report and created a new report with my modifications and designed a rtf template to view the output.
I need to call my new template in the place of Preview and Print.
I referred to Note:341206.1 which states to update the template. As I have modified the report itself , this doesn't works. Can anyone let me know to do the same?
Thanks
GM

I found metalink note 404144.1 where is explained how to customize the data source. However I don't know how to define such java class. I'm just a beginner in JDeveloper.
I hope this help. If you are interested please continue the thread. I will try to help, it's very interesting to me.

Printer printing with truncating characters on both sides using Style PDF

Hi,
DB:11.1.0.7.0
Oracle Apps: 12.1.1
OS:Linux Red Hat 86x64
We are using Printer name XYZ with Printer Type: HPLJ4SI
Style: PDF Publisher
Driver:PASTA_PDF
Issue: The same printer works fine in DEV env but not in INT env.
What could be the issues here and where could be the fix?
Could anyone please share such an issues faced before?
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Hi,
Yes.Verified.
Printer style: PDF Publisher :
User style: PDF Publisher
Layout: Columns: 132 Rows :55
Report Definition:
Output Format: XML
Columns: 132
Rows: 45
Style: PDF Publisher
Exactly the same setups are there in both the environments but still it's printing with truncated characters at both left and right margins of the page in INT only.
In DEV it's printing fine.
So, now where else could we be looking for the fix.
Thanks,

Adding New View Objects/Link on "Preview and Print" - Order Acknowledgement

Hi,
Can we add New View Objects/View Links for the existing "Preview and Print" Order Acknowledgement.
I want to add for the 2 new functionalities i.e., for Charges (from OE_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS_V ) and the Line Level Notes, which is currently not supported by Oracle.
Can anyone help me on acheving this functionality?
Looking forward for your response.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Muru

You can do that. You should first create the new business objects(AM, VO, VL) in jdeveloper, create your new regions in jdeveloper, associate the AM to the top level region(stackLayout) you create. Use personalization and add a stack layout in the Preview and Print page, set the extends property to point to the new region which you had created. Donot forget to deploy all the files in middle tier before doing the personalization.
The AM which you had added to the stackLayout will automatically be nested with the root AM of the page during runtime.

How to Customize Preview and Print / Sales Order Acknowledgement

Hi,
Our client needs some additional attributes on a sales order acknowledgement print ( Preview and Print ) output.
The current layout is based on ONTORDDFFN.xml and ONTORDDFN.xsd
How to customize the same to include additional attributes like Territory and Shipping instructions etc.These new fields are not there in xsd or the xml.
Appreciate your great help.
Regards,
Raju

Per Oracle you need to implement the method "getPrintExtensionXMLFragment" of PrintExtensionObject.java. Oracle has given the flexibility that getPrintExtensionXMLFragment can either return a XMLFragement or a sql query.. If the code in getPrintExtensionXMLFragment returns a string which starts with "select" Applications code will execute that query and the corresponding XML will be appended to the main XML. This needs to be written in a CustomClass and then set to the Profile " OM: Printed Document Extension Class Name".
I would like to know if somebody has extensively added columns at the different levels (header, lines, Addresses, Line Discounts, Charges) and the same additional cols. were implemented in the CustomClass. Let me know.
Regards,
Rajesh.
