Blank PDF files in Crystal 8.5

Hello,
I have one application in VB 6.0 with Crystal 8.5. In this application I have a lots of reports (rpt files). All are working without problems when I export to pdf format, but I have one report with 6 sobreports. When I export to pdf and the report dosen't have all information in the subreports I get the pdf file without problems, but when the report has all the information and I export to pdf the viewer export the file but without information
or in blank!!.
Please Help me !!

Not a problem :).
If you will consider going to the CR XI RDC, you might as well go all the way to CR XI release 2 as the support on that one will be a bit longer than CR XI release 1 thus extending the life cycle of your product(?). And you can download CR XI release 2 for free from here:
http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp
Note that at the bottom of the download page, there is a link to the latest Service pack for CR XI r2. I'd recommend downloading an applying that.
Now, there is one more thing to consider when porting to the RDC; you will not be able to use the VB 6 deployment and packaging wizard to create a deployment project. You will have to use the RDC merge modules and create a deployment project in InstallShield or Wise or MS Visual Installer, etc. The merge modules can be downloaded from here:

Just wanted to mention that as this may have been an unanticipated surprise and who needs those...

  • Linking dynamically to a pdf file from Crystal

    I have a Crystal report in which I need to embed a link to a .PDF file   I pass the year and zone into the report which I then need to use to dynamically link to the proper .pdf file within Crystal.  I tried adding an OLE object and selecting .PDF but I need this link to be dynamic to attach the correct .pdf, not static.  Is that possible?If yes then could you please let me know how to do it.
    Thanks

    Depending on the version of CR... with 11.5 and higher, search the help file for:

  • Getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on computers other than my Mac

    I need some assistance.  I keep getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on anything other than my Mac.  I create them in either Illustrator or InDesign and I make sure that I select High Image Quality.  I can view them just fine in my Acrobat reader, but the minute I send them out to others or view them on a PC with Acrobat Reader 7 i can't view them.  I get this message "There was a problem reading this document (111)"  Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

    Many PC users still use older versions of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. I know some people that absolutely refuse to update beyond Acrobat Reader 4.5, often times, that can contribute. Also if you've run PDF Optimizer and removed all the fonts. That can cause a problem.
    Also, make sure you save pdf's with the .pdf extension. As much as they say the opposite PC's need to see that extension.

    Hi Leilam,
    I suggest you lower the amount of pages you are printing to PDF and combine the separate documents later. Try creating a 20 page PDF file first and if it works print the next 20 and so on. In the end you have 5 - 20 page documents, which you can then combine in Acrobat and save the resulting file accoringly. Check how much hard drive space you have (maybe it's getting low) and I also you:
    Repair permissions regularily, run a utility such as MacJanitor or Cocktail to clean up your machine. Creating a large PDF file requires both RAM and available HD space that the MAC needs to use as a Spool or temporary storage space. ie: if the resulting PDF is 100 Mgs, the OS requires a little more than double that space before you begin to create the file.
    if the above fails, try deleting the Preferences and rebooting to clean out the RAM.

  • Generating blank PDF file

    Kindly help me to generate relational modal diagram to PDF.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jen,
    why do you use Data Modeler 2.0 - There is Data Modeler 3.0 and also 3.1 EA2 is available. I'll recommend you to go with Data Modeler 3.1 EA2.

  • Blank PDF files

    Anyone know why Safari is saving blank PDF files? It used to work fine. I have OS 10.6.8

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • How to put pdf file on crystal reports.

    Hi all,
    I'd like to put pdf file which is the attachment of Item master on crystal reports.
    I tried OITM.attachment but it only shows the location where the file is, not file itself.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi you can add it as a hyperlink (just remember: all the attachments are in this one line, so you need to separe it by ";")
    or you can simply use the insert>OLE object>Adobe ...
    Be vary it has some limitations.
    I think this is what you are looking for

  • Crystal Reports 8.5 and blank pdf file

    Post Author: JimLW
    CA Forum: Older Products
    We have an old asp application and we are moving it to Windows 2003 server. The reports are coming up fine in the viewer. However, when we export to pdf, xls, Word, we the file names are being created in the appropriate folder but they are 0 length. Programmatically, I'm trapping for errors and the application is throwing an error right after the report object runs the export method. The error number is 507. Any thoughts.

    There is a document for Crystal Reports in Citrix environment written for exporting error, but I think it could be applicable for your situation.
    I quote it here:
    "... errors occur because Citrix Server and Terminal Server use the User Path Variable rather than the System Path Variable for clients.
    Solution:
    This solution has been written for Crystal Reports 8.5. The directory path to the Crystal folder may be different in other versions. For example, in Crystal Reports 9, copy files from c:\program files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin to winnt\crystal.
    By default, the Crystal Reports export drivers (DLLs) are installed to the %systemroot%\Crystal directory (generally C:\Winnt\Crystal), which is not included in the User Path Variable. Each user will have a specific User Path Variable making it difficult to update each one.
    Steps to Resolve:
    Therefore, to resolve these issues, copy files from the Crystal directory to the Citrix Serveru2019s or Terminal Serveru2019s System directory.
    1. Copy the files from the following directory:
    %systemroot%\Crystal
    CAUTION
    Do not delete the %systemroot\Crystal directory. Other Business Objects products may require this directory.
    2. Paste the files to the System directory. For example, in Terminal Server, the System directory is generally:
    Winnt\System32
    NOTE
    Verify the correct directory location in your environment.
    With the DLLs in the System directory, the User Path Variable will be able to locate them. The error messages should be resolved and exporting should be successful."

  • Why when I save an Illustrator CC file as PDF, I get a blank PDF file?

    Hello - I recently migrated to Illustrator CC and have a problem saving my files as PDF. When I save as PDF, a blank file is created, that tells me the following message: "Questo le Adobe® Illustrator® è stato salvato senza contenuto PDF. Per inserirlo o aprirlo in altre applicazioni, occorre salvarlo di nuovo da Adobe Illustrator con l'opzione Crea le compatibile con formato PDF attivata. Questa opzione si trova nella nestra di dialogo per il formato Illustrator nativo, quando si salva un le Adobe Illustrator con il comando Salva con nome." that in english would be something like: "This AI file has been saved without PDF content. In order to import it or open it with other applications, you must save it again from AI checking the "create PDF compatible format". This option is in the dialog panel for native AI format...". I have always saved as PDF for the printer when I used previous AI versions with no problem, but now the same file gives me this problem with AI CC. I tried to save as PDF other new files, but the result is always the same, whatever file - whatever PDF settings I choose - whatever name I give - whatever way I save the AI file (with or without the PDF compatible file option). Can somebody help me? Thanks!

    John,
    You may try the following list, or it may be one for Creative Cloud support (all Creative Cloud customer service issues),
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Save As PDF saves a blank pdf file

    Hi,
    The save as pdf function used to save the the main part of a web page.
    After the current update now the files created still have several pages, but they are all blank. No text visible.
    Is this a bug or is something wrong with my setup?
    This is on a Droid X with 2.3.3 (Gingerbread), FireFox 27.0
    I love this function. I hope it can be fixed.
    I wish this function was in the Desktop Browser too.

    Hi,
    I've tried it on a couple of sites, both didn't work.
    I've tried opening the pdf with qPDF Viewer, and Kindle, and on my desktop with Foxit Phantom.
    Perhaps I didn't make this clear. I'm using the Menu/More/Save as PDF browser function. The browser is creating the PDF, it's not downloading the PDF from the website.
    I've reverted back to the 23.0 version and it's all good again.
    So even if the PDF is being created via a cloud service the problem is in the FireFox app.
    If you want I can setup or find a test case for you.
    Update.
    I got a few samples for you.
    Apparently it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. This is with version 27.0. Version 23 always worked.
    I supplied a screen-shot of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/home and the resultant pdf; Products.pdf. Notice that is omits all styles.
    Also, WordPress.com - Get a Free Blog Here.pdf is the home page of wordpress.com. Notice it's blank.
    Also, The Mystic Sage Musings.pdf is missing styling. url: http://mystic-sage.com/blog/; also missing the heading picture, but it has the text.
    However, the site I was originally having problems with; http://isiopolis.com/about/; comes out correct now. The pdf is: About Isiopolis _ Isiopolis.pdf
    I tried to upload a zip files with the samples, but it won't let me.
    You can get the zip file from here: http://gwsystemsdns.net/files/Samples.zip

  • I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

    I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
    It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.
