BlankPages and PageNumber

Hi all!
I have one logical page, which contains three physical pages.
Sometimes third physical page cannot fit all data and it repeats logical page.
So, i recieve 6 pages, where 4th and 5th are blank.
I remove blank pages with 'Runtime settings', and in output recieve only four.
And when I put <PhysicalPageNumber> field, it counts all six pages, while in output I have only four.
The forth page has <page=6>, but it should be <page=4>.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks before

Paul,
The BLANKPAGES parameter is only meant to not print out blank pages as a paper saving enhancement. It
doesn't have an effect on the page numbering as what happens is the report is completely formatted and then blank pages are not sent to the printer. As
this is done after the formatting the report, it is not possible to change the page numbering in the current architecture.
However there haws been an enhancement request filed for this and is under consideration for the next release
Thanks

Printing document in jsp

Hello,
I'm developing a web app which deals with invoices, delivery notes and that sort
of things and i need to print the documents i create and show in the screen but
just a part of the jsp page as i don't want the menu of the app to appear in the
document to be printed. what can i do to print just a part of the jsp?
so i have to send the information to pdf? what do u recommend?
Thanks for your help

You could implement a "printer friendly" version of your invoices which opens in a popup and then you can use window.print() to initiate the print dialog. This way you don't have to put any HTML controls on the page to be printed. You should advise users to turn off any headers in the browser which will also get printed, such as filename and pagenumber, this cannot be disabled automatically.

Suppress the Page Header section on a specific Section

Hello,
I have a single page word document I want to append to the end of a report I have, so I placed it in Report Footer b. The word document fits perfectly on a single page without any header. I tried simply supressing the Page Header on the last page but because of the length of the the word document it gets cut in half, so the 2nd to last page includes a header and forces the word document onto 2 pages (one with a header and one without). I tried supressing the Page header the last and 2nd to last page, but that results in the printing of an extra page as the word document without a header only takes up one page.
Is there some way to supress a section based on what section is currently printing ie.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Section "Report Footer b"
I am open to any suggestions on how to simply add a report footer section without a page header.
Thanks

Unfortunately that also suppresses on the 1st report footer section (RFa)
I tried adding an additonal conditon
OnLastRecord AND Pagenumber >= TotalPageCount - 1
However, this results in the addition of an extra blank page, which changes the page count to 1+ what it should be. This may confuse some users.
Can I specify a specific record? How would I go about doing that?

Blank page at beginning of report

I have a Crystal Report where, in the Section Expert, I have told it to create a new page after every "details" section. This is working great for the design of my report. However, the first page of the report shows the page header and is blank.
Any way to get rid of this blank first page but maintain a new page after the details section?
Thanks.

Hi,
Use this OnLastRecord and PageNumber = 1 in Formula editor for new page after every "details" section.
Recheck 'Print at Bottom of Page' in common tab for new page after every "details" section.
Check 'Keep Together' in common tab for new page after every "details" section.
See how the results displayed...

Paging in JSP ! HELP! HELP! HELP!

somebody can order an example to me of paging of results in JSP... or tutorial address that has some scritpt and. since already I am thankful!
[email protected]

If you are interested in creating some type of paging functionality you will need a few things. First, i will assume you have some set of data that you want to page. Let's say you have an array of Objects that has 100 total elements.
You will most likely define a pageSize value that defines how many elements to display on the current page. You will also want to define a pageNumber to represent the current page that you are on.
So lets say that you have a pageSize = 10.
You should define some Java method in a class that has access to the complete array, which takes the pageSize and pageNumber as parameters, and returns an array of the same type.
For example, lets say you have a class called EmployeeSet
public class EmployeeSet
private Employee[] totalEmployeeSet;
public void setEmployeeSet
//some code that populates the totalEmployeeSet array
public Employee[] getEmployeeSet()
return totalEmployeeSet;
public Employee[] getCurrentEmployeePage(int pageSize, int pageNumber)
// some logic to check that parameters are within valid range
Employee[] currentEmployeeSet = new Employee[pageSize];
//now store the current range into your current set
//loop through the totalEmployeeSet starting at the correct
//point (pageNumber*pageSize), and store each element
//into the currentEmployeeSet
return currentEmployeeSet;
I left out some important logic to determine whether the inputs to the method are valid or not, and whether the current page can display 'pageSize' elements or not. I am sure you can figure that out.
I hope this helps some.

Indexing a book using Indesign CS 6

Hello,
Did not use Indesign for 10 years ... and - when starting it up again with a newer version - I was surprised in an unpleasant way that it is still not possible to create footnotes inside tables in a normal way without creepy workarounds. And a lot of other wacky stuff which prooves to me that Adobe uses this programm as their ever-living milky-cow without much thoughts about making its stable a little more confortable. But enough about it and sorry for my interruption.
So I want to create an index in my book ...
3 questions please ... and thanks for your help!
1) Is there a maximum of entries for the index?
2) Is there a way to have a better oversight when having hundreds of entries? Now topics, sub-topics and pagenumbers take 3 lines of space in my index-panel. So one has to scroll a lot when having many entries. Is it possible to have topics, sub-topics and pagenumber(s) on ONE line?
3) I started my book with 2 unnumbered pages. But the index-numbering uses the page-numbering as found in the pages-panel. I can start a new section but then my footnumbering also starts again ... (I will not repeat my grudges here about this EVERLASTING problem).
Is there a solution without manually correct all pagenumbers after generating a new index?
Thanks again for your appreciated help!
Sincerely yours, Peter.

Dear Mr. Spier (Beste Peter), thanks for your help.
But I still do not understand how this index-panel works.
Let us take as a start a book with two non-numbered pages followed by automatically numbered pages.
So ...
An "indesign"-page 10 (just an example) is MY page 8.
Indesign page 10 is mentioned in the pages-menu and when adding topics in the index-panel of the SAME page, they ALL have a number 10.
But the strange thing is, that when I generate a new index and paste it somewhere in my book, the above mentioned topics do CORRECTLY refer to MY page 8.
So I'm happy with that but I seem have to missed something. For instance (looking around on internet) most people prefer to adjust page-numbering optins to their master-pages what I did not.
And (to Peter or someone else)
does anybody know the answers on my two other questions ...
1) Is there a maximum of entries for the index?
2) Is there a way to have a better oversight when having hundreds of entries? Now topics, sub-topics and pagenumbers take 3 lines of space in my index-panel. So one has to scroll a lot when having many entries. Is it possible to have topics, sub-topics and pagenumber(s) on ONE line?
Thanks.

News Archive Link - Next to pages 1 20 wording

Hi,
Has anyone been able to create a link to another iview that's would be visible next the the >20 page information.
I will reward highly with points.
Kai

Hi,
The url you are forming is not correct. The values of minrow and pagenumber should be passed as p_arg_names and p_arg_values. You should also pass the maxrows value.
It should be something like this
http://domain/pls/portaldad/portal.RPT_1010220949.show?p_arg_names=department&p_arg_values=10&p_arg_names=_page_number&p_arg_values=2&p_arg_names=_min_row&p_arg_values=4&p_arg_names=_max_rows&p_arg_values=3
This url calls a report which takes a bind variable department.
Thanks,

Can't delete blank page in combined files PDF

I combined a number of files to create a new PDF binder in Acrobat X, then added a blank page in the middle using Tools > More Insert Options > Insert blank page. I later decided I didn't need the blank page and tried to delete it but received this error message:
One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted.
I gave up, trashed the PDF, and started all over again. But the new binder included the blank page in the same spot, and it won't let me delete it! I tried creating the PDF using my old Acrobat Pro 8. It created the file correctly, but when I closed the file and reopened it, it opened in Acrobat X - with the blank page again! How do I get rid of the blank page?

Open the file in Acrobat, delete the blankpage, and save the file.

Print page 1 only

I would like to add a condition to an invoice form - Crystal Report 2011, to print only US invoices and page 1 only. I tried the following :
'USA' in {@BilCountry} and PageNumber = 1
But it is giving me the following error:
This function cannot be used because it must be evaluated later.
Any ideas how I can do this ?
Thanks,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
You cannot use the PageNumber function in the record selection formula.
Change the record selection formula to:
{@BilCountry} = 'USA'
Go to the Section Expert > Select Details Section > Click the formula button beside Suppress and use this code:
PageNumber > 1

Position of Textframe with a specified text

Hello,
i have a list of ordernumbers in a textfile. Each ordernumber is separated via a Carriage return. I also have an InDesign CS4 Doc with textframes containing the ordernumbers.
I now need to get the coordinates and pagenumber of the textframe with the ordernumber.
The result should be a file with
ordernumber page x y
Can anyone help me doing it?
Thanks

Clamp Page Footer error?

I have a report with multiple pages and I use the 'Clamp Page Footer' option to eliminate the white space at the end of the page. However I don't want to do this on the last page. So I use this simple formula on the option:
if PageNumber <> TotalPageCount then
true
else
false
This works in any other section I try except the clamp page footer section. I get the error : "A constant expression is required here" (highlighting the 'PageNumber') field.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.. Ant

try
not onlastrecord
if not onlastrecord and PageNumber = TotalPageCount then
true
else
false

Pagenumber and totalpagecount is always shown 1/1 for .txt format.

When I export my report in .txt format somehow the pagenumber/totalpagecount is always shown 1/1.So I had placed formulae as page_num :-
whileprintingrecords;
if recordnumber = 1 then 1
else if recordnumber mod 10 = 0 then int ( recordnumber / 10 ) + 1;
and a formulae for total page count as :-
if isnull ( {rpt.account_number} ) then 1
else if count ({rpt.account_number} ) <= 10 then 1
else if count ( {rpt.account_number} ) > 10 then int ( count ( {rpt.account_number} ) / 10 ) + 1;
This formulae worked fine for all reports except 1 where we required to suppress some of the records in the report according to a flag.
example : there are 10 accounts of flag a,b,c,d.We needed to show only those flags having 'a' or 'b' flag.The rest of the records were suppressed as in the summary of report only count(c) and count(d) was required.Display of these records were not needed. But the total page count and page number formulae failed in this case as it also took into consideration those accounts too which are to be suppressed.
What alternative can be applied? Is there anyway that the problem of pagenumber/totalpagecount always showing 1/1 for .txt export can be solved.If not what change can be done in the formulae I have written?Any completely different suggestion is also acceptable.Only the criteria is that it is compulsory for me too export the report in .txt format.
Please suggest!!

Hi Som
Can you try using the following formula:
totext(PageNumber,0,'') & "/" & totext(TotalPageCount,0,'')
and for the suppression condition, just right click on the formula and give the suppression condition for "Suppress" option.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Set top and bottom inset spacing values in Text Frame Options via jsx script

I am looking for a way to set the top and bottom inset spacing values only to 2 points in Text Frame Options via a .jsx scrpt.
For years, I have used a script that sets Preferences, such as:
with(app.storyPreferences){
    opticalMarginAlignment = false;
    opticalMarginSize = 12;                // pts
I would like to add the code to this same script that would make Top = 0p2 and Bottom 0p2 but leave Left and Right as 0p0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the full .jsx file that we now use to set preferences.

Questions on Iframes and PAR structures

Hi,
I have a few questions on Iframes, JSP's and PAR structure for Portal Application Projects in NWDS.
1. Can I change the source of an iframe from one jsp to another instead of one html to another.
2. My Jsp's are in Portal-Inf/pagelet because whenever I add a new JSP I add a new Portal application object. So how do you refer to the relative path in the calling JSP. e.g <iframe name = "myframe" src ="<relative path>BlankPage.jsp" width="100%">. What would be the relative path. I tried pagelet\jspname.jsp but it does not work.
3. In general how do you type the relative path for objects in a PAR project structure?

Hi Prem,
1.Yes,you can.
2.You dont have to,you can copy and paste as many as Jsp's inside the pagelet.I use beans to customize the BHTML UI properties.So you can make your IFRAME source tag as variable.
<iframe
     id="Nedbrowser"
     name="Nedbrowser"
     style="relative"
     width="<%=myBean.getFrameWidth()%>"
     height="<%=myBean.getFrameHeight()%>"
     frameborder="yes"
     marginheight="0"
     marginwidth="0"
     scrolling="yes"
     src="<%=myBean.getUrl()%>">
</iframe>
Your approach of setting relative path wont work as it is.You have to do something more
1. in JSP you have to use a import statement like
<%@ page import="com.sapportals.portal.prt.resource.IResource" %>
<% IResource rs = componentRequest.getResource(IResource.JSP , "pagelet/BalnkPage.jsp"); %>
and in the IFRAME tag you can do something like this
<iframe
     id="Nedbrowser"
     name="Nedbrowser"
     style="relative"
     width="300"
     height="400"
     frameborder="yes"
     marginheight="0"
     marginwidth="0"
     scrolling="yes"
     src="">
</iframe>
<% Nedbrowser.setSrc(rs.getResourceInformation().getURL(componentRequest)); %>
3.There are so many forum pages on this matter.Just go ahead and search for IResource in SDN.
Goodluck

How to know how many rows including headers and footers does subreport has from Main Report

Hi, we are sturuggling with subreports. Main report has 3 subreports, each subreport is inplmented in a group header(3 subreports and 3 group headers). We would like to print a group header under subreport as a column header every page, and need a page break when group number is changed. This report exports a MS Excel(97-2003) report file.
In main report, [New After Page] is checked under Group Header #1d from [Section Expert]
In each subreport, [Repeat Group Header On Each Page] is checked under the highest group from [Group Expert]
Here are two issues;
Since Crystal Reports has more rows than Excel in one page, colmun header in each subreport is being printed in the middle of the page. It should be printed at the top of the page
When Subreport has many rows and has to be printed in more than 1 page, a page break is automatically inserted before column header. It should be printed right below column header which is Group Header #1
We have been trying to pass row counts(count of group header because group header is used as the details) using a shared variable from Subreport 1 to Subreport 2 via main report since Subreport2 cannot predict how many rows Subreport 1 has.
Here is what we are trying but we are getting an error which is "A constant expression is required here" under main report
- In Sunreport 1
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar SubGroupCount := DistinctCount({Table.Field});
- In Mainreport
shared numbervar SubGroupCount;
if(pagenumber) = 1
then (SubGroupCount)
else 50
Is there any solutionss or better ways other than above?
Thank you,
Main Report: Group Header #1a --> as Page Header
Run Date: mm/dd/yyyy Report Name
Main Report Group Header #1b --> Subreport 1
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Main Report Goup Header #1c --> Subreport 2
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Main Report Froup Header #1d --> Subreport 3
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6

Thank you for your reply and sorry for my complicated explanations. The report has confidential information, so I replaced to some fake data but I believe you can still see what I am trying to do..
Main Report
Subreport 2
Output1
Output2: the following page
--> more rows are printed..
We have two problems;
1. The column header in Output2 is supposed to be pronted right below the last row in Output2, however, a page break is automatically inserted. But even in the same output document, it works for some group when it has a few rows..
2. Since Crystal Reports prints more rows in one page than MS Excel does, Column header is not be printed at the top of the page.
I tried the way you advised me but it did not work..
