Broadcaster - PDF Output: number format

dear gurus
Where do I find the setting to set the display format for numbers of a PDF report sent with the BEx Broadcaster?
I'm currently setting up a lot of reports on our new BI installation. Most of these reports are sent in Excel (XML) format. When the user opens such an Excel file, all the numbers are displayed in the correct format.
eg. 1'000'000.00
(swiss-german format)
If I send the same report as PDF I get some (well, for me) wired format
e.g. 1,000,000.00
or 1 000 000,00
As far as I understand this, in Excel it seems to take the local user settings on the computer for displaying numbers an such. Since the PDF is generated on the server, the generator takes the format available (or set) on the server.
Tomorrow morning there will be a guy from the BASIS in our company. I'd like to have a clue what to tell him and how to make the PDF generator take our number format.

Hi Vineet
Thanks a lot for this advice. I did already test that by changing the number format in SU01 to different values. I did change that for the user which is set as permission holder for the query and also for the user that is set as broadcast sender. I have following options to set
1.234.567,89
1,234,567.89
1 234 567,89
All three settings did not have any impact to the report. The number format did not change. Furthermore there is no option for the desired format:
1'234'567.89

Hi,
You need to modify the template "0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT" with which webitem you want to export.
Then save as template with Z. This Z template you need to mention in "export to pdf" command button.
it should resolved your issue.

Broadcast Email to PDF output format

Hi All,
We are using the standard web template (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN) to broadcast email for PDF output format. I'm managed to received the PDF attachment email but however instead of one query, it contains duplication of the same query (repeated query) in the PDF file. We are also using the standard 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF web template.
Has anyone experience this issue before and what is the solution for this?

Problem with number-fields in PDF Output Using FOP

When generating PDF Output using FOP as described in the utilitiy provided in the HTMLDB Studio http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:12104450162492733947::::P44_ID:1522
formatted numbers over 1,000 are resolved as characters (because of the comma) and are therefore right justified. This results in alignment issues for numeric columns.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to work around this.
Thanks,
David

Hello,
Your probably going to have to edit the xslt to get the result either by stripping out the comma or by setting that column to explicitly align the way you want it.

PDF output not retaining same formatting as done in RTF

Hi All,
I have created a RTF template and need to show the output in PDF. Now in the RTF, as per the requirements, I am not enclosing my form fields in any table or inside any tabular cells. So I have to display the output something like this
Name : Peter
Age : 30 years
Address : New Jersy
Dept : Accounts
but after placing the form fields in their right places, when I see the output in PDF, the formatting is lost and values are NOT displayed at their desired places as set in the RTF template. So I get the PDF output something like this
Name : Peter
Age:
30 years
Address :
New Jersy
Dept :
Accounts
Is there a method to fix the form fields so that they don't move and i get the output in the same way as I have designed in the RTF template.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Ronny,
There is the concept of CONTEXT COMMANDS:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm#con_freeform
It may help to get what you want along with the example from the XML Publisher blog:

In Excel I need to two text boxes asking us to browse the files and compare the files PDF & CSV format.
Please suggest me if we have solution for this.
Thanks!

Hi
I'm afraid the Excel Application does not support this function currently, I am suggesting you to take advantage of a third party component to achieve this goal.
Thanks for your understanding.

Query about Email Address Format & PDF Output

I'm using XML Publisher and an RTF word template linked to an Oracle XML file to generate PDF Purchase Orders.
Part of the PDF output displays an email address.
If the email address is in this format:
[email protected]
then when the PDF output is generated, the address is outputted into a clickable hyperlink which sends an email to:
[email protected]
However, if the email address is set to:
[email protected]
then the resulting email hyperlink will only be sent to:
[email protected] (i.e. all to the right of the dot)...
Just wondered if there is any way to stop this from happening?
Thank you

Sorry - I know months have passed since I first raised this query.
Just double checking again, to see if anyone is aware of a workaround for this email issue? Is there anything I can do in the XSL in the background to force a particular email hyperlink format?
Thank you

What could be the problem here please?Could anyone please share the resolution.

Thanks for your time!

We are getting right hand side characters truncated for PDF output when Conc Prog is run through EBS.This is the problem.Is it a seeded or custom concurrent program? Does this happen to all requests or specific ones only?
But while saving the file on dektop and printing both left and right hand side characters gets printed well within the margin area.What if you print the same file from the server using the lp command?
What could be the problem here please?Could anyone please share the resolution.
Page size used is: 81/2 x 11 - Letter.What is the printer type/style?
Have you tried different printer?
Also, have you tried to adjust the number of Rows/Columns of this concurrent program?

PDF Output Issue

Hi All ,
I am facing a strange issue in PDF output format.
When I preview PDF output i am seeing some special character like *0E-00001111232* . The actual value should be *$ 2,343,500*.
When ever i face this issue immediately if i download and upload the same template its working fine. But after 15 days or 1 week again i am facing the same issue(On a regular interval).
Its not only for the number data type columns also for some varchar columns.
I checked the xml output its coming correctly , but only in preview i am facing this issue.
BIP Version : 10.1.3.4.1.
If any one faced with same issue please share your approach.
Thanks,
Ananth v

I guess that might be what format style i have to select for a 11" X 17" report.
or do i have to create a custom style.
