Reports to WORD-format

I would like to know if it's possible to run
a report and then create a file that can be viewed easiely in MS-WORD. The layout has to be a table in MS-WORD

Yes, it is possible.
I don't know what a WORD table is.
We generate character based reports,
and bring them up in WORD, then
run a WORD MACRO to reformat the output.
Maybe the macro could change your WORD
doc to table format.

Problems in exporting crystal report to word format

Hi All,
I am getting trouble in exporting crystal report to word formats.
Here are my questions:
1) The exported word file will have a text "R..950" added on top right hand corner, How to get rid of it?
2) For those "Can Grow" fields, it can show multiple line data correctly in the viewer. However, the text box in exported word file will be too small to show all the content and lower half of the text is cut.
Thanks and Regards,
Cherry

Hi Asha,
Thanks for reply.
The version of crystal report designer and viewer which I am using is version 11 Release 2.
Besides, I guess it might relate to the format of report so I would like to tell you more.
Font Face: Arial Unicode MS (in order to show chinese characters)
Font Size: 9 pt
For the text "R..950" issue, I just found that some people in the internet having the same issue and they suggested that may relate to the locate. In my case, the locate is Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.).
If it is necessary, I may send you my report with sample for test.

Cherry

Report in Word format

Hi,
I'm calling a report from my form in word format. The problem is that every field in the report is being put into a separate text box in word. Is there any way I can display the output in normal word format?

Hi Sid,
Thats true, the output format of RTF does not give you a Word document where the whole text is displayed like a paragraph.
There is one way of getting output as a Word document, but it involves coding. You can write your report in JSP web source, and then specify the contentType for Microsoft Word. When you run this JSP, the browser will open the document using MS-Word.
However, the disadvantage is that you cannot generate the output of a JSP report to file, ie, you cannot specify destype=file

Export to Word format crashes IIS worker process

I'm using CR for VS 2005 in a Web application. While on development machine, everything is acting normal. I export the report to Word format without any problem.
However, after deployment to test environment, CR starts to cause problems. When I try to export the report to any Word format, it crashes the IIS worker process. I tried installing several CR for .net packages, but I can't manage to solve this problem. The export to .pdf and .xls works fine, as well as the other main functionalities.
Can anyone give me a link to the latest package for .net 2.0 (or vs .net 2005), or any hotfix where this bug is resolved. The release versions of the cr for .net 2.0 are quite a mess, and as I'm aware, installing none of them solved my problem.
I'm running Vista x64 on my development machine, and Windows Server 2003 on the test environment.

Here is the stack trace of the error:
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   Admin_Modules_ReportGeneratorControl.BtnExport_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) +212
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +105
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +107
   System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(
String eventArgument) +7
   System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl,
String eventArgument) +11
   System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint,
Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1746
This is the code of the BtnExport_Click event handler:
Response.Buffer = false;
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
((ReportDocument)Session["REPORT"]).ExportToHttpResponse(
(ExportFormatType)Enum.ToObject(typeof(ExportFormatType), int.Parse(DdlExportTypes.SelectedValue)),
Response, true, "Report");
I can guarantee you that the Session object IS NOT NULL and that the value taken from the Ddl is correct.
Also, this error crashes the IIS worker process. Here is the error log on that one:
Faulting application w3wp.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module msvcr80.dll,
version 8.0.50727.3053, fault address 0x00014ba1.
And again, this error only occurs on the test environment server that is running Windows Server 2003 and has installed redist package of Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0.
On the other hand, the Web site acts normally on the development machine, which is running Windows Vista x64. Here, the needed components for CR were installed during the setup of VS 2005 Team System Edition.
I think that this info will give you some more info on this problem.
Thanks, Dejan

To convert a crystal report into word(*.doc) format

Dear members,
I have designed and generated a report using crystal as tool,but
i want to convert this report into Microsoft word format(*.doc).
Can anybody please help me in this regard?
Thanks and regards,
Venkatesh.R

Hi
Simple way is to you use Cristal Reports Designer: you can use CR Report convertion function.
File/Export/Export Report... choose Word Document (rtf) modificable what can be opened with Word and saved how Word Document (.doc).
Other way:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Dim CrxReport As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrxReport.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.RichText, _
"c:\open_me_with_word.rtf")

Generating reports in .doc format (Word Document) using Java POI - HWPF

Hi
Can anybody help me how to generate the report in .doc format using POI API?
Please share the sample code, if you have.
Thanks in Advance
Dhilip

Hi,
I dont think that your requirement has to do with ADF capabilities.
You want to edit a word document with JAVA. For that reason, you will need an API, as the suggestions above.
You can do it without ADF and by using standard JAVA and the API of your choice. a static void main will do for that matter.
ADF comes into the game when you want to handle the document with your ADF application.
This means that you either want to get your new data to be placed on your doc from BC or any other DataControl or you want to do something else with ADF..
My guess is that you want to get data from ADF into your Doc.
You could create an API on handling your Doc and then use it into your ADF application.

Dimitris.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

Hi all,
When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
Has anybody come across the same?
Regards,
Hakan

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:
1) the user requests a report
2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user
Thanks a lot

PrintOutputController.export, get the byte stream, save on server.

Print Report in PDF format

I have a report region based on sql query. I want to print that report region in PDF or word format. How can I do that.
It may further be stated that I dnt have print server configured. Is it possible to do this wihout the configuration of report server.

Syed,
If you want to use the PDF printing functionality built into APEX 3.0, you do have to configure a print server, see this document for further information:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
There have been discussions on other solutions on this forum, but whichever solution you choose, you'll need to install something that actually generates a PDF or Word (or RTF) document. As an alternative, you could perhaps use the CSV export to open your report in Excel, that option is available out of the box.

Marc

Issue while exporting the report to other formats

When the rpt file created in the BO server is used to view the report through the report viewer, there are export options available to choose from. If this export option is tried as MSExcel or Word document, the alignment, page headers and all are not coming in the same way like in the one generated through the PDF.

Hi aparmar,
Which version of the Crystal Report and Business Objects you are using?
Which SDK's you are using in your application to export the report to RTF format?
Also if you are using JRC in your application, you can follow the given link:
Font size in exported report
I hope the above link might be helpful.
Please revert if you need any other information.

How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric f

Hi,
Please help me!
How to create rtf template to view report in Word and Excel, with numeric formatted fields (like this 999 999 999,99 with spaces between numbers) and then end user be able to process those fields with Excel tools (sum, etc).
Thank you.

From what I have seen Excel can not handle 999 999 999.00. You can use 999999999.00 and then format it as you want in the xls bt you can not have values like 999 999 999.00 coming from publisher output and have functions on the values in Excel

Report in RTF format not displaying

We are trying to produce a 9iAS Rel2 9.0.2.x report in RTF format. Trying to bring this report up in IE produces the following popup box:
Internet Explorer cannot download rwservlet?config=test from host.domain.com
IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Using other formats (HTML, PDF) for this report work fine.
Windows has .RTF mapped to be opened in Word.
The config entry includes:
destype = cache
desformat = RTF
mimetype = application/rtf
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Exporting report to Word, Word editable or RTF adds page breaks

Our workforce management software (Aspect Workforce Management) uses Crystal 2008 for customer reports. Previewing, printing, and exporting to HTML, PDF, and Excel all work fine but exporting the report to Word, Word Editable, and RTF results in a document that contains extra page breaks in the middle of pages or other strange paging behavior.
With the regular Word export and the RTF export we see some pages containing the first half of the page at the top of a page followed by a break then the second half of the page on the next page at the bottom of the page. E.G., lots of empty whitespace at the bottom of a page followed by lots of empty whitespace at the top of the next page which ends with content that should have been at the bottom of the previous page.
The Word Editable export doesn't seem to insert weird page breaks but every page says 1 of N as the page number in the footer. Other export formats number the pages correctly.
Our customers are demanding a fix for this problem, which seems to be a Crystal defect. I don't understand why PDF and HTML and Excel all page correctly but not Word, Word Editable, or RTF. How hard is it to generate the export without causing extra page breaks or incorrectly numbered pages?
Is this problem acknowledged by SAP to be defect in the word, word editable, and rtf export options? Is SAP intending to fix this problem?

And good morning to you too John:
So, if you wrote the code your self and it is in .NET, why was the issue posted to the SAP Crystal Reports Design forum rather than the .NET - SAP Crystal reports forum? Note that each forum as a nice description in the header as to what sort of questions should be posted in that forum. In light of you posting the issue to the SAP Crystal Reports Design forum, I feel it was a pretty fair to ask the questions I did ask... (?).
I feel that the way this communication is going, it may be a good idea if you do a bit of searching on these forums. Also, use the search box at the top right corner of this page (it will give you results for KBases, blogs, wikis, articles and more...)
If you do not get what you need from that, it will be best for you to create a phone case here:
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100?resid=S6I@hgoHAkEAAGsiyVkAAAAR&rests=1282226845369
Note that if what you report is deemed to be a bug in the CR designer or the CR SDK, your phone case will be refunded.
