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

But its running correctly in paper layout for 1000 employee.
please help me
tanks in advance

Hi,
Whether you can able to get the output in the remaining destinations like html,rtf,etc ?. Let's try with PDFCOMP=0 in the commandline and generate the report. This is could be a possible workaround . Please update me on the result.
For information on PDFCOMP, have a look at the section 'CommandLine Keywords' in the document 'Publishing Reports Manual' ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B14048_01.pdf).
Thanks,

Hello,
I have found a similar problem, I think the problem my be with your acrobat settings.
On Acrobat 5. open an existing pdf file. Then on the menu go to Edit\Preferences\General. => A new screen should pop-up, click on 'Options' on the left hand side, and then check out your WEB OPTIONS. I tend to untick the 'Display PDF in Browser' and leave the others ticked.
I hope this helps.

Save a report 6i PDF file onto the database server

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, whereby I need to generate a PDF report and then send that report via Email. The problem I have is my email procedure is looking for the file which is in the directory on the server where the database is stored, While the PDF is generated on the local machine. Im using reports 6i.
I know in reports 10g the file is generated on the report server itself but Im afraid same is not the case with reports 6i.
The other problem is the local machine does not have the access to the directories on the server. I tried to change the directory path in the database to look at the C:\ but it doesn't work, it says invalid directory, I think the PDF report file needs to be on the server where the database is installed. Is there a way I can pick the PDF file from the local machine instead of the server where the database is installed?
Im not too sure what is the way forward, All I need is to generate a PDF file and mail it.
The procedure that I'm using to send the email attachment is :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE email_attachment(
xfilename VARCHAR2,
xloc VARCHAR2) IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
Send_Mail.attach_text(
conn => conn,
DATA => '<b>This is a test Email.<b>',
mime_type => 'text/html');
send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => xfilename,--'test.pdf',
floc => xloc,--'File directory',
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
in the forms 6i email with attachment can be sent only through database folder/file. From the client it can not be.
Here is one alternate solution.
1. Share the folder from db server which is used for email directory and keep changeable for everyone.
2. After generate the report like RUN_PRODUCT keep the below command.
HOST('XCOPY CLIENT_PATH\FILE_NAME SERVER_PATH');
3. This command will transfer file from client to db server. After this execute your procedure which is sending email.
Hope it will work.

Problem in converting reports to PDF format - bug

dear all,
There is a problem in converting the reports in PDF format.
The situation is that if we use the tool bar icon in SAP B1 to get the reports in PDF format, there are printing errors. The output PDF file does not contain the exact data that is in the report, the values are getting interchanged and mismatched.
But if we do the same using the print in the PDF option in choose from printers window as we do regular pringting, the document is printed properly.
what may be the cause for this bug like thing. How can we solve it??
please help me..
thanks and regards,

In oracle 2.5 version report builder how to add option to generate/save the report as pdf file?

I am working with reports of 2.5 version and i got a requirement for adding an option to save the report in pdf format. Can anybody please help me on this asap
Thanks & Regards

Display report on the web in pdf format

I am attempting to display a report in pdf format where I have passed parameters to it and it doesn't work.
We are using Oracle Reports 6i.
If I use the following CGIcmd line
a: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?a+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This report is displayed in HTML format.
For the following test I only changed the format from HTML to pdf.
The CGIcmd line became
b: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?b+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
In this instance there is no report but there is a 'broken image' icon displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. There are no error messages.
This is the preferred method.
As a test I also tried allowing the parameterer form with both HTML and pdf reports.
The CGIcmd line was set to
ax: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This displayed the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in HTML format.
When I use the following CGIcmd line
bx: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
As before, this displays the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in pdf format.
The only problem is where we are attempting to use the URL to go directly to the report in pdf format.
Thanking you in advance of any help
Michael Redford

Hello ,
You can try out the following
1. Click on the Report name and bring up the property palette to show all of the properties for the whole report.
2. Under Report Escapes->Before Form Value, change form method from POST to GET .

How to export the report in HTML format for desktop application

Hi,
i have wrote the JRC desktop application to export the report and i am able to export it in PDF and other formats as mentioned in "ReportExportFormat" API.
i would like to know is there any API there which can export the report in HTML format.
i know it would be possible with web based application of JRC, but how can i do it in desktop application?

There's no mechanism for static HTML pages that displays the report.
You can use the CrystalReportViewer DHTML viewer, but that's 'interactive'.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Unable to view the reports in PDF from Workspace

Hi Experts,
I am able to view reports using Worksapce in HTML but not in PDF whereas ghostscript is installed on the FR reporting server. Bin and Lib folder of ghostscript are also in PATH of FR host. Please help how can I view the reports in PDF format.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Vivek,
Thanks for your reply. I am using the Hyperion Financial Reporting (11.1.1.3) server on Windows 2003 32 bit and GNU Ghostscript is only available for unix type of OS. On one of our old 9.3.x env on Windows 2003 is working fine with regular ghostscript. So seems issue is something else. Is any log files which I can review and post the error for you ?
Thanks

Getting IllegalThreadStateException, while exporting the report to PDF

Hi Friends,
I am using JRC to create report in PDF format.
But intermitently I get java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException while trying to export ReportClientDocument into PDF format using the PrintOutPutContrller.
The I am using for this is
ExportOptions exportoptions = new ExportOptions();
PDFExportFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportoptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
exportoptions.setFormatOptions(pdfOptions);
reportInputStream = reportClientDocument.getPrintOutputController().export(exportoptions);
The exception I get is:

Hi Ted,
Thank you for the answers.
In our applications the Report will be generated in two ways.
1. A user clicks on a link on web, and the report is generated in PDF format and sent via http.
            At present we are creating a new
            ReportClientDocument for every request and using ExportControl.processHttpRequest() API
            the report in PDF format is sent user through response.
2. Quartz schuduler trigger a job, whose work is to generate Report in PDF format into a file, and the
          generated pdf file is sent to users via mail.
          Here I user ReportCLientDocument.export() API to get the InputStream and use the input stream
          to create PDF file.
It is possible that a user is requesting a report on Web Page and the same report is being generated by Scheduler at the same time. But in each case a separate ReportClientDocument is being used.Since Report containse a huge data, and it takes time to generate PDF file so, it is possible that a given RPT file is opened by two spearate ReportClientDocuemnt (one via web user and other via Scheduler) at the same time.
The have got rid of my earlier exceptions by sycncronizing the ReportClientDocuent.export() API.
But now am getting following exception intermittently.
2009-05-01 16:47:45.859 GMT+05:30 [ERROR] [ReportJob.java:137] [AnalyticsScheduler_Worker-10(34)] - [] Could not generate the Report.

Report in PDF format can not support double byte character ?

Hi :
I am developing the simplified chinese application , when i generate the report in PDF format , i found all double byte character did not display correctly . i am using dev6i+patch5 , why ?
it is a bug of form or not ???????
HELP !!!

try this ,Install acrobat4.0 or above and make sure you got acrobat distiller which will add a acrobat distiller printer in you windows. print report direct to that printer (don't change desformat) and you should got your PDF file with correct font setting.
