Accents not displaying in pdf reports

We are currently using Oracle Application Server 10G 10.1.2.0.2 (Oracle Forms and reports) and moving to 11g database with a AL32UTF8 character set.
Our forms call the reports and generate them in pdf format. Our problem is that the accents are not being correctly displayed.
Can anyone offer any suggestions that may help?
Thanks so much.

We are upgrading our database to 11g.
The nls_lang is set AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8. Accents are fine through the forms but reports are another story.
Our servers are windows based (windows 2003 for the server). All of our reports are called from the forms and we use the in progress report and generated them as a pdf.
The accents I'm testing are:
ÀÁÂÃÄÅÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÑÓÔÒÕÖâãäåæçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÿĀāĂăĄąĆćĈĉċĊČčĎĒēĔĕĖėěĚĘęĜĝĞğĠġĢģĤĥĨĩĩĪīĬĭĴĶķŃńŇňŌōŎŏŐőŔŕŘřŚŜŝśŞşšŠŨũŪūŬŭŰűŹźŻżŽžǑǒǓǔǕǖ
When I run a report through the report builder - everything displayed properly. If I run the same report as a pdf, then these accents are garbled.
Is there something on the server I need to set?
Thanks

Image not displaying in pdf report using XSL-FO and using Oracle 11g databa

Good Afternoon,
I have created over 15 reports using XSL-fo, with the following syntax to display an image on the pdf:
fo:block margin-left="0.24cm" margin-right="0.27cm" margin-top="0.0cm" ><fo:external-graphic content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" width="1.73cm" height="1.57cm" >
<xsl:attribute name="src">'url("http://readiness:7780/i/marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")'</xsl:attribute></fo:external-graphic>
</fo:block>
This syntax works fine when using Oracle 10g, now my database has been upgraded to 11g and my image no longer displays in the reports. I have already upload the image into the database as a workspace image.
I have tried to point the image @ the image by using url(#WORKSPACE_IMAGE#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif)
or <img src ="#IMAGE_PREFIX#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")
and it still doesn't work.
I have searched this forum trying to come up with a solution that will fix my problem and am unable to.
Current config: Oracle 11g, using pl/sql gateway.
I need to know how to point the xsl-fo file to the database, where the image now resides.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi,
I think you need load images to database XDB virtual directory /i/ and then use #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution.
This might help to access /i/

Or use this to load images

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Some font changes not displaying in PDF output

Hello,
I have Developer 2000 R 2.1 on my workstation and I produced a report from an Oracle table in PDF format. It displays different font weights, styles and colors (black or red) depending on values in a particular column. We have Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 and Reports30.
The PDF report is perfect when it is displayed through the 'Live Previewer' or displayed using 'PDF' under 'Web Preview'. After I send my 'REPORT.rtf' to the server and compile using 'conv.sh', I get a 'REPORT.rep'. When I try to display the PDF report from a web page, using 'REPORT.rep', the some font changes are missing. No italics, no bold in some instances. It does show 'red', but not in all the correct places.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much for any assistance.
Paul

Hi,
the PO Output for Communication does not use the $OA_MEDIA variable so you have to provide the full path to your images, example url:{translate(concat('/d01/oracle/prodcomn/java/oracle/apps/media/',BILL_TO_LOGO),' ','')}
Hope this helps as it works for us.

Urgent: Issue while displaying the PDF Reports Using XDO Common region

Hi all,
In our product code we are trying to display the PDF Reports, using the xdo common region.
Previously we were writing the pdf reports direclty onto the response direclty.
This displays the report onto the browser but if navigate throw browser back button, it doesn't displays the report as the response stream is empty while navigating through back button.
So to solve this issue, i tried to write the report using the OAHTMLWebBean and xdo common region. Here is the code:
ByteArrayOutputStream xdoOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XDOUtility.retrieveReport(xdoOutput,
parameters,
prop,
appMod
BlobDomain bxdoOutput = new BlobDomain();
bxdoOutput.setBytes(xdoOutput.toByteArray());
String redirectURL = DocumentHelper.getOutputURL(pageContext,
bxdoOutput,
"Report",
"PDF");
OAHTMLWebBean outRegion = (OAHTMLWebBean)createWebBean (pageContext, OAWebBeanConstants.HTML_WEB_BEAN, null, "IFRAME");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("src", redirectURL);
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("width", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("height", "100%");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("title","Report");
outRegion.setHTMLAttributeValue("name","Report");
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().addIndexedChild(outRegion);
This successfully displays the report in the XDO Common region. But now the issue is that there are hyperlinks in the Report displayed where from where the user can navigate to other detail pages.
When we click on these links, a new session starts in the xdo common region.
Is it possible that when the user click the links in the report displayed, instead of starting a new session in the xdo region, the detail pages is displayed with in the older session.
Regards
Sandeep

Adobe Reader Will Not Display Large PDFs

When using the Adobe Reader app on PlayBook it will not display some PDFs. It seems that it will not display PDFs that are too large.
Some files that might be too large do not display while smaller files do display in the app. The too large range could be in the 12 MB region where the good range could be 6 MB or less.
I tried to submit feedback to BlackBerry on this issue but it returned my email saying it could not process my request. I am hoping that they read it here.
Here is a link to a page with both readable and unreadable files:
http://www.bossus.com/backstage/product_manuals/?group=2
A readable PDF is the owner's manual for the RV-3. A unreadable PDF is the owner's manual for the RC-3.

That looks like a perfectly good PDF, but since it's trying to open in Microsoft Word, that means your file association for .pdf files is incorrect. You should change it to point to Adobe Reader instead of Word.
If you are on Windows, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-file-open-program#1TC=windows-7

BEx hierarchies not displayed in Crystal report parameters

Hi All,
I am trying to using a Bex query that has a cost center hierarchy with a variable that allows users to select specific nodes or even cost centers. In BEx reports, this query works fine and gives the users the view of the cost centres in a hierarchial manner. However, in Crystal reports, the query provides a drop down menu displaying a simple list of all the cost centres (not in a hierarchial manner). This confuses the user as to which element is a node and which is a cost centre
Kindly suggest how can we achieve the cost centre hierarchy to appear in the parameters in Crystal.
Thanks

Hi,
this is a duplicate to this entry:

Country name in Chinese not displaying in PDF

Hi Experts
I am working on a Chinese localisation DB and when I export any docs to PDF the country name disappears. Print preview is fine . I have checked the forum and found the following link Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc which was helpful but unable to resolve the issue even after using different Chinese recognisable font. Just like to know how to get around this ?
Has any one comeup with this kind of issue ? Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Johnson

Hi All,
The issue has been fixed. There is a SAP note 1406074 as per the sap note,
Exporting Chinese/Japanese character correctly, involves a setting of the layout in SAP Business One.
1. Open the document layout.
2. Go to Print Layout Designer > Display Document Properties > Format tab;
3. Tick the "E-Mail Layout" checkbox, and choose a Chinese / Japanese font (E.g. MS Mincho)
4. Save the layout and set as default.
5. Export to PDF.
I had always changed the format to Chinese but never ticked the ' E-mail Layout box' This is just for information & thanks to Gordon and Rakesh for the inputs.

0.00 is currency not displaying in ALV REPORT......

Hi All,
There is a currency field in the internal table which is not displaying only value 0.00 if the value is 0.03 then it is displaying in ALV.
I have checked the Internal Table passed in the FM: REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY but it is carrying the value 0.00. But while displaying it is not displaying in the report.
I have also checked the Field catalogue there is no such conditions mentioned.
Kindly help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi MP,
while handling witht eh currency fields make sure that the following are taken care of
in the field catalog use:
gs_field-datatype = 'CURR'.
gs_field-inttype = 'C'.
also the following
fieldcatalog-no_zero = 'X'. should be taken care of otherwise it will not display the zeros appearing in the final internal table for ALV display.
Hope its helpful

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

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!
