Cannot Print Excel report in Excel Online

Hi,
I have a Excel report that retrieves Project Data (using the OData feed). The report is housed in the Reports document library created with a PWA instance. When using Excel Online to view the report in the browser, I receive an error message saying that
the report cannot be printed (from the browser). Instead the message states that the Excel file should be opened in Excel.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this a limitation of utilizing Excel reports in Project Online?
Thanks,
Roland

From what I can tell, only highlighting (selecting the cells) and using the print selection works. You can't set the print area in Excel (desktop).

I Cannot print a report with windows XP

Hi,
I am trying to print a report but it is imposible, after a while, I have to reset the PC.
Here goes some data: The report was built in Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0 and Oracle 7 Server Release 7.3.4.0.0 and the printer is HP LaserJet 2300 Series PCL6 and the operative system Windows XP.
Anybody know what should I do to print?
Thanks

Cannot print doc to pdf after online adobe acrobat pro 7 installation

downloaded CS2 from adobe website, installed successfully, can read pdf file, but cannot save words or excel doc to pdf, please help!

There is no chance that Acrobat 7's PDF printer can work in 64-bit systems. This PDF printer is used in converting Word and Excel documents to PDF.
So it is time to upgrade Acrobat along with upgrading Windows.

Cannot print Landscape report to PCL printer - Solved

Has anyone been able to print a landscape BIP PDF to a PCL printer?
I am on EBS 11.5.10.2, with BIP 5.6.3, and PASTA 3.0.4.
The first report template I tried creating (Discrete Job Pick List Report) in XML Publisher / BIP happens to have a landscape layout, 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high.
The report is created successfully as a PDF, but I can't get that PDF to print successfully on my PCL printers - the output is truncated on the right. It looks like it is trying to print the landscape report on portrait paper.
Not sure if that makes sense. It is not rotating the report contents to fit on the paper.
I configured PASTA as instructed in MetaLink:
Note 338990.1 - How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager,
Note 356501.1 - How to Setup Pasta Quickly and Effectively, and
Note 365111.1 - How to Setup Pasta for PCL Base Printers
I submitted a TAR/SR on this and they referred me to
Note 421358.1 - Custom Landscape Reports In PDF Format Print in Portrain Orientation
And basically told me what I was trying to do was not normal, and that I should get a PostScript printer. That's not an option, since all of our printers do PCL, but not all of them do PS.
Has anyone been able to achieve this?
Thanks,
Steve

(changed original subject to add 'Solved')

The SR conversation on this topic ended with "EBS does not have any seeded code or driver that can covert a PDF file to PCL, however. If such a third party tools exists, it can be placed (called) within the preprocessing section of the pasta_pdf.cfg configuration file." The documentation recommends "acroread", but I think this is an obsolete utility, plus it doesn't do PCL.
I could not find a third party tool to convert to PCL in the preprocess section of PASTA, while doing landscape, but I did find a third party tool that can replace the "ntPrintCommand" part of PASTA. It is called "GSPRINT", and it is part of GSview. I am on a Windows platform, so this is perfect for me, since it works with the Windows printer drivers at a bitmap level, and no PCL or PostScript conversion or preprocessing is necessary on my part. It takes the PDF as input directly, and prints it.
Here is the essence of my pasta.cfg file now (named pasta_gsprint_landscape.cfg)
outputFormat=text
ntPrintCommand=c:\utils\gs\gsview\gsprint.exe -printer "{printername}" -landscapeThe outputFormat=text so that PASTA will not do anything except preprocess and print. I took out the preprocess, so all it does is print using gsprint.
Since this makes pasta pretty much just overhead, I'm going to look into the option of running gsprint directly and taking pasta out of the loop completely.

Printing oracle report from oracle forms

At our place, our clinet machines are upgraded to IE8 (Internet explorer 8), and some users are having probelms when they print pdf reports from IE8. If they save pdf report on computer and use adobe acrobat reader, then they can print, but when they hit print button on the IE8 they are unable to rpint.
Please advise why some users cannot print pdf reports from IE8. Thanks

Hi,
has anyone managed to resolve this yet?
seems as though some sort of impersonation mechanism is necessary for the machine running the reports server to identify to the printer as the client username running the report..
i do know it's possible to pass to the rep server a parameter called "authid",
so if for example i run the following -
http://<server>/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&authid=rsorero&userid=bla/bla@bla&server=repsrv&destype=PRINTER&desname=\\printsrv1\myprinter1&desformat=PDF
then in the report server queue (showjobs) i get the owner as "rsorero" instead of "ANONYMOUS"..
but that doesn't translate to an OS user on the server side, and the print is still owned by [server]$..
any insights?

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Printing web report by Excel

Dear BW people,
I tried to use the solution of Tobias Kaufmann to print web reports by means of Excel. When I apply this way of working to my report on BW 3.5, it works just fine. ut... when I do exactly the same on <b>BW 3.10</b> no Excel file is generated (though the HTML report refreshes).
I tried to search a reason for this in debugging mode several times and for several hours and I discussed this issue with colleagues but without any result. Anybody with experience on this topic on a BW 3.10 server? If so, did this work and were some modifications necessary?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Bart

It seems that the two notes in the requirements part is necessary for our BW3.10.
Still I still have three issues regarding the page setup of a printed Excel sheet. After spending a LOT of time, I was able to solve the problems... Is there a OfficeHTML-BW expert ?
1° I would like to put filter values in the header of each printed paper. The How To document uses this parameter in the @page section:
mso-header-data:"&L&0022Arial,Fett0022&12&G&C&0022Arial,Fett0022&14<&[REPTXTLG]> und
<&[DATAPROVIDER_1/REPTXTLG]>";
Is there a way to replace the queryname () by filter values?
2° On the first page the table has columnheaders (normal), but on the second page these headers are not repeated.
3° Even when I remove the <x:FitWidth>1</x:FitWidth>
<x:FitHeight>2</x:FitHeight> and the use <x:scale>100</x:scale>, the result of the report is ALWAYS printed (fit to) 1 page. Ofcourse the texts are way to small. How can I make sure the report is printed in a normal way?
I hope someone can answer at least one of my issues.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Bart

Report Generation Toolkit, Print Excel Report, LabVIEW Crash

Hello,
when printing a report generated with the report generation toolkit for excel my build application crashes on our customers PC.
When I run this application on my PC it works fine.
The problem is the active X invoke node that trys to print the report but i cant get any error messages to find out where to locate the problem.
Maybe that there is a problem with the active X node or the Excel Version on the customers PC?
I use LabVIEW 2010 and Excel 2007 the customer has Excel 2003 SP 3.
I changed the report to generate it in Word where the Print_Report.vi fine on both PCs. But in Word Report there is called another active X invoke node to print the Report. So it seems for me that there really is a problem with the Print in Excel active X invoke node.
Mybe someon can help me in finding out whats the problem.
Greetings Daniel.

I downloaded Yosemite and now I cannot print on Mac Word, Excel, and Power Point

Please help.
I download Yosemite a few weeks ago and now I cannot print documents on Mac Word, Excel, and Power Point. I attempted to reinstall the software and it still doesn't allow me to print documents. Below you will see the error messages I get when I try to print. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Update MS Office suite to be the most up-to-date version and also run Software Update to see if there are updated printer drivers for your printer.
Going forward please post Office for Mac questions in the correct forum, this is an iMac forum. There is an Office for Mac forum hosted by Microsoft, the link is Office for Mac Product Forums

Printing Excel Instance from InfoView using Excel 2003

Hi
I have problem with printing Excel instance within InfoView. We are using Active X as viewer - but when user schedules report in Excel and when it opens that instance - it opens in Web Excel viewer within InfoView. At that point there is no standard menu if user uses Office 2003 or actually Excel 2003 on its own machine so user cannot print instance. Can anybody help with this. If you try to open instance on machine that has Office 2007 there are no problems since instance gets open in full Excel.
Thanks

What version of Crystal Reports are you using? Any service packs or hot fixes installed?
Can you open other xls files with 2007?
Have you ever exported to excel before?
I export to -excel (97-2003) data only- and open the files with Excel 2007 with no problems. Excel 2007 complains about the old format (xls) and wants to convert it to the new excel format. I alsways ignor it.
Maybe the 'garbage' you are seeing is because the layout of your crystal report is not working for the export. Is all the data there but you have extra cells and/or lines, or the data is pushed to the left? I find that I must have the fields packed tightly with no space between them and no space above or below the fields, or I get extra cells between and lines above or below them.
Most of my exports are detail lines with a single line header and columns are set to match the detail line. When exporting multiple lines where the fields do not line up exactly with the ones above them, I may use one or more empty text fields that matches the size of the fields above them to fill the empty space. Sort of like:
line 1:{field1.}{field2...}{field 3}
line 2:(text...}{text.....}{field 4)
And you may need to turn off 'can grow' on all fields as they may cause miss-alignment. All the data will be there when you export it, even what you can not see in Crystal. You will just need to format the cells in Excel to see it.

Whats The Best Resolution To Use When Printing Excellent Quality Photos?

Hi all
My grandparents have given me quite a big task to do as they want me to edit, save on to disc or discs and print there old family photos, I am going to edit the photos from Photoshop CS3 Extended at the highest possible Resolution so the photos look amazing when printed from a normal printer or at a proper photo lab. What is the highest possible resolution I could use on the photos without making them look all pixelated (or what ever it looks like) when printed? I was told by a friend that 300 pixels/inch would yield better but is it possible I could go higher? they are family photos so I would like them to look as amazing as possible for the next generation which will be me, my cousins and our future families.
Many Thanks for reading this and Many Thanks to the people who will reply to it. Very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Oliver

Hi ID. Awe
Thank you for the resolution pixel/inch number but I will use 300ppi on Photoshop CS3 Extended because it seems popular on here and my friend did say 300 pixels/inch would yield better, okay so I should not go over board blimey as I wont be able to control how it is down-sampled for output, I had better be careful then. My scanners resolution is 4800 dpi optical and up to 19,200 dpi enhanced and the colour is: 48-bit and 8-bit greyscale but when I look in the scanner settings it only goes up to 24 bit colour hmmm? How do I down-sample to 8-bit for output? Do I use Photoshop for that? As my printer will not allow me to down-sample the 8-bit colour. I just want the photos to look amazing thats all.
Hi John Joslin
If you ask you shall receive, I will be getting my photos printed at Kodak or at the Devon Camera Centre. I do have a inkjet printer it is the HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one= printer, fax, scanner, copier. Thank you for the warning John it is nice to know if I was to use my inkjet printer but I am going to have my photos developed at a photo lab so the photos will last allot longer. My printer resolution is 1200 and up to 4800 dpi optimised.
Hi Donald Reese
The highest resolution my scanner can go up to is 19,200 dpi, could you explain to me what interpolation is please? is it another selection I can select within the scanner settings? That does sound logical to have extra data to downsize from, instead of trying to upsize from a low resolution scan because I suppose it would make the photo look a bit pixelated.
Hi Gernot Hoffmann
That is interesting that by using 300ppi or 288ppi which is good for an accurate pixel preview by zoom=400% and this is OK for the reproduction of photos by high quality offset printing and for large format inkjets and for inkjet proof printing thank you. Thank you for the simplified version:-D
Hi Ed Grenzig
I did think that scanning is more important but I did not know how high I should go with the resolution on that either, thats true that the scans can be no better than the picture that I am scanning. Yeah I suppose it also is trial and error using different settings. Extra pixels won't make your picture any sharper than the print. That is what they said about the freeview box until they found out that it made the picture clear as it had a higher resolution then the tv itself but I will give it ago.
Yeah good idea I will experiment myself on similar photos to see if increasing the resolution helps and how much it helps, depending on the type of photo. Yes I definitely will keep my original scans because as you said I can always go back and re-edit them in the future. I agree all editing software will get better as time goes on and they will probably laugh at my edits when they look at the capability of their future software. True that my present printed photos will not last forever as they will deteriorate. As johntolliday below said he usually scans his photos at 600 ppi and I will probably do the same or higher if needs be. Thanks for the great tips, I did think could I use my camera to take photos of the original photos if they are to big for my scanner and of course I can like you said, I would not shot the photos though as I do not want holes in the photo lol.
Hi johntolliday
Yeah I will be getting the photos professionally printed at a photo lab as you said Unless you are using they will not last as long as a print printed on photo paper by the very expensive photo lab machines and I do not have archive quality inks or paper and anyway they are to expensive. Cool that you do most of your prints and enlargements online and have been very pleased with the results. I also thought that inkjet printers are not really up to the job when it comes down to printing excellent quality photos.
I will try your suggestion and scan my photos at 600 ppi or more depending on the picture quality, I do not seem to have a selection for 16 bit colour on my scanner settings I only have Millions of colours (24-bit), 256 colours
(8-bit), 256 colour web palette, 256 colour system palette, 256 grey shades (8-bit greyscale) and Black & White
(1-bit) so I guess I will have to stick with 24 bit colour. Sounds like a good idea to down sample to 300 on Photoshop and print from there. I have never enlarged photos before but there might be a time when I might need to.
A huge thank you to everyone who has posted on here you all have helped me out allot and I know where I am going now before I have to say I was going around blindfolded, if you have any more tips about scanning or even printing please feel free to post. Thank You again.
Kind Regards, Oliver

Apps for Excel Online and IFrames

We've just submitted an app for approval. The report we received indicates that the app doesn't load in Excel Online. This is because we include an X-Frame-Options: DENY header when we serve the app, which tells the browser not to render it in iframes.
We really don't want to leave off that header, for security reasons. Not very many browsers support X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM, so I don't think that's a good option. Is there some way to render the app without iframes? Or some other solution that
doesn't involve compromising security? We can't be the only ones who have run into this.

Hi Santosh Sutar,
To test the apps for Office using Office online, we need to have an Office 365 Developer Site (a SharePoint site preconfigured for apps).
Then we can change the Start action to the broswer and set the site url with the Office 365 Devloper site like figure below:

Problem with 'sort and filter' feature of embed codes in Excel Online Web App

So my question has to do with the Excel Online feature where you can share a spreadsheet and embed it in a website with the option of allowing users to sort and filter the data. (The option is under the "Interaction" heading.)
One of the options if you look closely is "Let people sort and filter" which is not checked off. In the embed code you can see "AllowInteractivity=False". The problem is that when I check "Let people sort and filter"
the embed code changes completely - going from:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&wdAllowInteractivity=False&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
to:
<iframe width="700" height="900" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?cid=dontworryaboutitEDFD383&resid=6BAA9620AEDFD383%21107&authkey=AFj3X8xq2U3IfDE&em=2&Item='Sheet1'!A1%3AI32"></iframe>
If I manually change 'false' to 'true' that doesn't do the trick so I'm not sure what to try next.
Any thoughts?
