AP Checks Report RTF or PDF??

Hi all,
I just started working on the AP Checks report in XML Publisher. I was wondering whether I need to use the RTF type or PDF type template. I was told that the PDF type template is better for check printing, because it allows us print the data out in fixed position. Is that right?
Any thoughts???
Thanks!!

Hi,
I am struggling to complete the AP Cheque Printing report.
Could you please let me know the step which you followed and could you please send the rtf that you are using.
Followings are the steps I did.
1. Create rdf and register in APPS.
Executable is defined in Customization AP application
Concurrent Program is in Payables application.
2. Create Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher administrator in Payables.
3. Attached the Concurrent program in AP Format set up.
4. Make the Payment, The report is calling and showing completed normal but the output is not coming.
5. Then I run the XML report Publisher and pass the request id then the output is coming as PDF.
But the requirement is when we make the payment , The output should come and it will go to the printer for printing..
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Pradipta

Print Quote the report is in PDF but need to be new RTF template

We have 11.5.10 apps, the Quote screen is an OAF screen.
When clicking Print Quote the report is in PDF, They want to include a new RTF template for printing instead of PDF.
The new RTF template is created. But what I do not know is how the quote screen will take the new template. I can use XMLP to upload the RTF template but that may not be sufficient to make it appear in the Quote screen.
I am looking at the profile ASO:Default Layout Template. Am I headed the right way?

PAYABLES NOT GETTING THE REPORT OUTPUT IN PDF AFTER APPLYING RUP5 R12

Hi All,
RDBMS:10.2.0.3.0
Oracle Apps :12.0.4
OS:AIX 5.3
Problem Description:
We are presently facing an issue in Payables not getting the report output in PDF esp for the reports "Invoice Register", Invoice Hold Report and also other reports. We were able to generate the reports till our last test performed on last Thursday. This instance was cloned over the last weekend and probably the new upgrade to RUP5 R12,would have impacted it.
Concurrent Programs submitted are completed normal but on clicking "view output" results in Blank PDF output.
The error message what was shown is as below:
"Adobe Reader could not open 'AcrC.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)".
Where could we locate ther above 'AcrC.tmp' of Adobe Reader..
could anyone please share such an experience encountered for resolution..
Would appreciate an early response..
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

I suggest you speak to your DBA/sysadmin. This is not likely to be a reports problem.
Check that you can see the output from apps through the viewer (the report may not hav output anything)
Check whether you can print anything on that printer from apps.
May also be worth checking to see if you can print to another printer from this report.

Dear Alexander,
Thanks for the reply.
In this I am using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. I have checked the settings from SPAD that is also same in both servers for particular output device. But the patches are diffrennt in both the servers, the server from which layout is not coming properly having the high level patches in compare to the other server(which is working fine).

Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?
Thanks!

We installed the sqlserver 2012 sp2 cu3 in our lab, but unfortunately the issue cannot be duplicated, so I provided the following options for your reference.

Printing Header and Footer once in HTML and on all pages in RTF and PDF using one RDF

Hi,
I am using a single RDF to generate reports in HTML,PDF and RTF.
For printing the header only on the first page I used the
following trigger
begin
srw.get_page_num (page_num);
IF upper(:P_FORMAT) = 'HTML' THEN
if page_num = 1 then
return(true);
else
return (FALSE);
end if;
ELSE
return (TRUE);
END IF;
end;
I alo require to print the footer once on the last page in case
of HTML and on all pages for RTF and PDF.Is there any way I can
get the total number of pages or is there any other way to
acheive this. ???
Any help would be appreaciated .
Thanks,
Alka

Generally, one template can not create nice output in all formats. In your case, you would need a format parameter to suppress headers/footers if it's value is 'EXCEL'. The problem is (I wish someone would correct me on this) that we can not refer the standard parameter already there and have to create another, user-defined parameter.

Unable export crystal report XI to pdf on window server 2003 SP1

I have a class asp function to export crystal report XI to pdf file, it is workable at winXP but when i copy it to window server 2003, it exported the file with zero length (file size is 0kb).
when i try to open the zero length pdf file, it shows the file is already open or in use by another application.
when i run my export function, i can see there is a new file created at the folder "C:\windows\Temp", when i try to open the tmp file, i get the message "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process", i can open the tmp file after i end the process "w3wp.exe network service", the data in the tmp file is exactly what i need to export to the pdf file.
At the window server 2003, I have installed the Crystal Report XI developer edition,
For the web application folder and the pdf export folder, Read, Write and Modify permission has been set for the following accounts:
1. myServer\Administrators
2. myServer\ASPNET
3. myserver\IUSR_myserver
4. myServer\IWAN_myserver
5. Network Service
6. System
7. myServer\Users
I think it is the permission problem, but how to set the right permission at the window server 2003 SP1? please advise. thanks

Hello,
It is a permission issue. When you export Crystal first tries to write the file to the local TEMP folder and then delete it to see if it has read/write permissions. If it fails to delete the file you need to give the TEMP folder on the WEB server permissions for your application. Check Microsofts WEB site on how to set permissions on shared folders for your ASP application.
You may want to search in forums also, this looks familar.
Thank you

Conversion of oracle 10g character (.txt) reports to bitmap (.pdf)

Hi,
I have two queries:
1) I want to convert oracle 10g bitmap (.rtf) reports to bitmap (.pdf) reports. I can do it by converting desformat. But the problem is .rtf reports have PAGESIZE 13 inches x 11 inches. After conversion to .pdf I need to have A4 size (11.7 x 8.3) . This also I can do it manually by changing width and height. But the issue is I'm getting error that : some object is out of body. So I have to change the marging of each and every report manually by trail & error method. Which is consuming lot of time.
So any one please provide me solution so that I can generate .pdf report in A4 format with out any issues. (By changing any class files, etc..)
2) I want to convert character(.txt) reports to bitmap (.pdf) reports. Again its having same problem as mentioned in (1). So any shortcut or any method for doing it.
Please let me know whatever you know abt this issue.
Thanks in Advance

Don't think there are any shortcuts you can convert 13x11 to 11.7x8.3 without modification of the layout. changes or moves of the frames/fields are expected if they are beyond 11.7x8.3.

Saving ALV Report tree to pdf

Is it possible to save ALV Report Tree to pdf for all versions (old & new) of SAP? If yes, then what is the way to save the ALV tree to pdf in different versions, which also includes BW & APO systems? The ALV tree also includes some hotspots, if that also matters in some way !!

Hi
call this function module
CONCATENATE l_fullpath '.rtf' INTO l_fullpath.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
__EXPORTING
____filename = l_fullpath
____filetype = 'ASC'
____write_field_separator = 'X'
__TABLES
____data_tab = lt_tree.
Where lt_tree content looks like this :
COL1__________COL2
Parent1________(initial)
(initial)_________child1_1
(initial)_________child1_2
Parent2________(initial)
(initial)_________child2_1
etc...

Check report guidelines

Hello All,
We are working on BI Publisher version of the check report. Payment process program is kicking Format Ever Green program. After registering the data definition, template, I still see the output as XML. So I have modified the after report trigger to call 'xml report publisher' program.
Am I following the correct process or can we directly generate the PDF output, with out calling 'xml report publisher' program? Please confirm.
I know it is a some basic question, but struggling for the correct approach,

Hello All,
I just searched and found that we need to apply "4303528 11.5.10.2: XML Payment format does not use default template" patch.
But the same program 'format evergreen' is used by UK, US, CA countries. And UK paper size is different from US one. So we need to create different template for the three countries. How can we dynamically select the templates( and generates the PDF output in one step) or do we need to handle this in After report trigger only? Please advice...

Linux - Turkish font - RTF working, PDF replaced with ?

Hi All,
Im back to trying to get my application working on Linux again, and have arrived at the next bump in the road.
Versions:
CR4E v2.0.4.r825
Java 1.6.0_13
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Background. Originally develeoped and tested on Windows, and got everything working 100%.
We then moved the App to a Linux enviroment.
First problem I came across was directory referencing, and case sensitivity, which I managed to solve.
We then had issues where all fonts in the PDF outputs were shown as LucidaSans. This was solved by following the
documentation found on [http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/]
This allowed us to correctly output the TimesNewRoman font.
Everything was going well until we needed to display Turkish font. On our Windows test enviroment everything is working
perfectly, on the Linux, not so much.
The way the Turkish font is used on the report is I developed a UFL which receives numbers and then looks up certain codes
in a properties file, which contains the unicode representation of the Turkish characters. These are then interpreted by
Java and a String is formatted and returned to the Report.
If I look in my logs I get the following:
com.crystaldecisions.reports.formulas.k.a(SourceFile:4554) - Function 'numbers2words' returned: s(beu015Fyu00FCz doksan TL )
So we can see that the correct characters are returned. ( ş )
What I found out that if I tried exporting the Report as a PDF the text returned gets converted to - be?yu00FCz doksan TL
The Document Properties of the PDF produce on Linux lists the fonts as
DejaVuLGSans
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
Actual Font Type: Type 1
TimesNewRoman
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: TimesNewRomanPSMT
Actual Font Type: TrueType
Yet Windows version is as follows
TimesNewRoman(Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Built-in
TimesNewRomanBold(Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Built-in
BUT if I export to a RTF document, all font looks perfect, on both Windows and Linux.
RTF code looks something like this if this helps anyone
{\posx260\posy9866\absw5518\absh-1919 \sl240\slmult1\par\fs17\f1 be\uc1\u351\'3Fy\u252\'3Fz doksan TL \par\par\par}
Any ideas on what I need to do or what I have not done, I will take any sugesstions. Also will give additional info if required.
Thanks Darren

Thanks Ted,
That did the trick.
Although I must say that I find it strange that originally we had no TimesNewRoman fonts on the Linux box,
so we setup the msttcorefonts package as per [http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec]
This then allowed us to print TimesNewRoman font on our PDF, but we still had no Turkish characters.
So by placing these TTF files into the Java /lib/fonts directory and amending the fonts.dir file we all of a sudden had the Turkish characters.
It almost seems that applying the fonts the first time only half solved our problems, and then once we made them avaliable in
the Java lib/fonts area it solved the UFL issue.
Anyways, its working now so we all happy.
Cheers
Darren

Printing reports issue (Word/PDF/Excel...)

Hello Apex masters,
Here's the deal:
I have a page in which I have
1. report - "sql query" type: "select * from dual", Print Attributes: Enable Report Printing=Yes, Output format=PDF (default options)
2. button item: "Apply filter", Button Request=Filter
3. Branch: target type=page in this app, page=same page, when button pressed=APPLY_FILTER
Behavior:
1. If I login, open this page, use the "Print" url from the report, a PDF file is successfully generated.
2. If I login, open the page, click on the "Apply filter" button and then use the "Print" url from the report, an empty PDF file is generated. (same thing happens for Word,excel etc...)
I also have some other items on the page, but I guess that it shouldn't make a difference.
My workspace is on apex.oraclecorp.com.
Thanks a lot,
Andrei

Andrei,
Given that you' re running this on an Oracle internal site, could you email me login information for your workspace or re-create this sample on a workspace I can access?
Thanks,
Marc

Open a PDF report from a PDF report

I would like to open a PDF report from a PDF report, but in a new IE window.
I have the following code attached to an item in the report:-
function F_RECONFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
IF trim(:btch_ref) = 'PL' and trim(:recon) is not null and trim(:recon) <> ' ' then
srw.set_font_weight(srw.bold_weight);
srw.set_font_style(srw.underline_style);
srw.set_text_color('blue');
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('onMouseover "window.status="Click here to see what is in your shopping basket"; return true"'||'onMouseout ="window.status=" "; return true"');
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?cmdkey=famis+desformat=pdf+report=FAMREP011+p_orderno='||trim(:recon));
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_blank');
-- srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target="_blank"');
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;
All of the commands work except for the 2 srw.set_hyperlink_attrs commands. The "onMouseover" and the "target" seem to have no effect. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Michael

The built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs does not work , if the report format is PDF. There is no way to open another PDF report from a PDF report in a seperate window. Also think there is no way to hide URL which apperars when the mouse pointer moves over the hyperlink.
In other report formats like HTML, the built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs works.
