Comma in report column alias breaking PDF Printing?

It appears that some (but not all) special characters (e.g., a comma) in a report column alias causes an error when using PDF printing under "Print Attributes" for reports.
This query works fine:
select sysdate as "Date Today" from dual
But the query below causes the error "Adobe could not open 'report[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...":
select sysdate as "Date, Today" from dual
Does anyone know a work-around? My real alias is "Lastname, Firstname" so I would like to keep the comma!
We're using APEX 3.0.1 and PDF printing with Apache FOP.
Thanks ahead of time.
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
why not use the "Heading" property of a report column to show a speaking column heading? The column alias isn't really intended for that purpose.
Set the "Heading Type" to "Custom" then you are able to change them for each column.

  • PDF printing in the Builder

    I haven't yet installed APEX 3.0 in my own environment, but I was just curious about something.
    I see that almost all the report regions in the APEX development environment itself (the Builder app) have a new "Print" link that launches a PDF version of the report.
    Since the PDF printing feature requires a BI Publisher installation, would the APEX 3.0 installation automatically install that product? Or would those links be hidden if PDF printing is not properly configured? After I install BI Publisher or Apache XSL-FO, would those Print links magically appear?
    Thanks

    There could be any number of reasons, based on the information provided, it's hard to diagnose what exactly went wrong with the installation. Please check the forum for a situation that applies to your case. Given your file name 'Calificaciones.pdf' I take it you're not running this in English, so one possible issue could be the default paper size A4, and the issue we found with decimal separators. If not running this in English, please go to the print attributes page and check your page size. Change the units to "Points" and make sure you have whole numbers for page width and height. Should this be the issue, please use this work-around in other cases as well. We'll provide a patch to fix this soon.

  • How to omit the report column in pdf-print?

    Hi, experts!
    I have a column with html code (a link to another web-page). The html draws a button with redirection to a specific link. In the properties of that column I set an "html" format, so the code executes and the desired button appears... but! When I print this report (using printer friendly option PDF) it shows me the html code of the button, but not the button itself. So the question is:
    a) how to omit specific column from a PDF?
    OR
    b) how to push OBI showing the button (not the html code)?
    thnx 2 all in advance!

  • PDF Printing and preserving Control Breaks

    I'm testing PDF printing with apache FOP. it works, but I've searched on here and am not finding a solution to preserve control breaks. Is there an easy way to set this up? I'm trying to replace reports with Apex, and one of my developer. we wrote these custom reports, that work very nicely, but are tedious... user has ability to control break, etc. I can achieve all this from interactive reports, but printing is the problem.
    My thought if I can do this, is to generate the report on a printer friendly page, and just print from there.
    any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I am having trouble, too, getting PDF reporting to users in a way that they're satisfied with.
    1. Example of vanilla PDF without BI publisher.
    https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B5IT1IH9Rb7NNzM2MjgyODQtOTEzMC00NDJiLTg4MzgtOTExYmQ2OTJlODA1&hl=en&authkey=CNKg9bkD
    I have not found a way to change the margins or other column settings. So the reports will have minimal utility for our users, who are auditors and who like to save their analyses.
    I welcom help on how to use and override the Print Attributes > Page Attributes settings for PDF? Paper Size , Orientation, and width/height seem to work, but have no impact on the actual body printing. E.g. setting tabloid landscape 17x11 " works, but the report is still the same size as with letter landscape 11x8.5 setting. There's no way to set the margin.
    2. Example of my best work around. Here, the user prints from browser - Google Chrome - to PDF. I use free Windows PDF utility Bullzip PDF Printer. The same look and feel goes to a physical paper printer.
    https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B5IT1IH9Rb7NMDBhM2NiOTEtZmUwOC00NDY2LWFmOGYtYjJiMTVkZjgyZmQy&hl=en&authkey=CPm818sC
    Chrome however does not now have the option to print the background colors, so you can't get your tabs and other graphic elements to look identical to on-screen pages. You have to adjust the row count on the Apex page so all rows are displayed - if you do, the browser will print multiple pages until all rows have been put into the pdf. Another advantage for the users is that they can choose to display all the filter and grouping selections on screen and capture them in the PDF output, similar to what we do in one of our Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports applications.
    Other browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox) seem not to be able to print all the rows.

  • Bug Report: Static LOV's and PDF Printing with Tabular Forms

    I have a tabular form, which acts as an editable report. Some columns are 'Standard Report Column' and some are Select Lists, using Static LOV's with the contents of
    Yes;Y,No;NThe purpose of the page is to allow users to edit yes/no attributes of a row. Then, they can print the report.
    To make the current sort of the report reflect what is being printed to PDF, I've used a Report Layout associated with the report region, as oposed to a report query. A report query in this case would not reflect the sort of the report (all columns are sortable asc/desc).
    Anyway, I link my report with the layout created, and go to run it. I get this message.
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 50: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "," when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":= was inserted before "," to continue.
         Error      ERR-1000 Unable to determine LOV from "declare function x return varchar2 is begin Yes;Y,No;N return null; end; begin wwv_flow_utilities.g_query := x; end;".
    OK      
    report error:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data foundI'm guessing the product is trying to take my static LOV and place it in a function to be able to generate which value is being displayed as text, from the select lists. However, it doesn't work.
    I've been able to get around it - by adding a YES_NO domain to my domain_codes table (a table which associates abreviations with full meanings), I can set by select lists to be query based select lists using the SQL select code_meaning, code from domain_codes where domain = 'YES_NO_CODE'. This still allows the user to dropdown Yes/No fields, and the PDF printing doesn't break.
    It is just me, or can't the PDF printing handle static LOV's in tabular forms/reports?

    Hi Patrick.
    I've tried STATIC:Yes;Y,No;Nwhile stating it is a Select List (static LOV). The values that are rendered on the page are
    [STATIC:Yes]
    [No        ]
    ----------I tried the same thing with STATIC2 instead of STATIC, and the same thing happened.
    It also broke if I tried STATIC or STATIC2 under Select List (query based LOV). This is within a report where there is no hyperlink to say 'Create/Edit static list' or 'Create Dynamic List', as there is under select list items.
    However, I am finding that for some reason, the values being sent to the PDF are not the values in the database (Y/N), but the showing values (Yes/No). This happens when I use the domain_code select query as the query based LOV.
    Furthermore, I cannot get any columns not rendering on the page to be generated in the PDF. I have a column that groups items depending on values, and I want this grouping to display in the PDF instead on the original value, ideally.
    Cheers,
    K.

  • How to Print the Report Column headers on each page of any report

    Can someone offer assistance on how I can go about achieving the ability to show and print the Report Column headers on each page of any report using the Print Attributes of APEX 3.0? These reports will be printed using Excel and Word.
    I read a thread with a similar request but the answer seems vague for my level of understanding.
    I am connected to a print server and using BI Publisher.
    Thanks,
    Ric

    Hello Ric,
    >> These reports will be printed using Excel and Word.
    I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. You are using a very powerful tool – BI Publisher – why do you need Excel or Word for printing? Is there a special need only Excel or Word can provide?
    One of the major advantages of using BI Publisher is that it's taking care of all these tedious tasks like reasonable page breaking, headers and footers, and also table headers.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

    I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system.  We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
    My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report.  When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date.  However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
    Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading?  I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
    In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string.  See below for actual display:
    The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail): 
    Fund    Account Description          Balance 07/01/2014     Budget/Goal FY 14-15     YTD Actual 02/28/2015         Ending Balance 02/28/2015
    In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names.  See below:
    In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
    Fund           Account Description           Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE.     Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY.     YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE.     Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
    Second, all data display correctly.
    Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
    Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
    Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
    Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
    Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
    One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
    I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

  • Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue  on printing Large Reports

    Hello All,
    I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
    I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
    If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
    But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
    My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
    Much awaited for your assistance

    Matt,
    On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
    I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc
    Regards,
    Marc

  • Not able to print the report I created in pdf portrait using report 6i

    Hi
    I created a report using oracle report builder 6i in pdf format portrait style. When I run the request from apps instance could see the exact output I wanted from "view output" but am getting printout from the printer I selected in different format i.e it prints in such a way that if we open a pdf using notepad how does the data in it looks,in the same way am getting the printout. I tried with different formats like postscript,html,..etc But still am getting the prinout in the same format as I told above. I can take print out from viewoutput but I want the print out directly from apps request. The thing is using the same printer I get prints when ran for other report requests which were in landscape and portrait also but nt sure report requests with pdf format working or not. Please help me if you know the solution for my problem.
    Thanks in advance
    dhar

    Dhar,
    In order to use the PDF output type in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) there are some server and EBS setups that have to completed first. Your EBSA DBA or Apps Server Admin will need to make these setups. I don't recall what setups were involved, but I do remember it took us a while to get everything configured correctly before we were able to use the PDF output type.
    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

  • Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

     Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer.  I can ping all
    network devices. I can connect to the internet.
    On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
    Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
    The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

    Hi,
    After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller. 
    Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
    available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
    As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
    refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
    go through beneath article for more details.
    1.  Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
    2.  Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
    3.  Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
    Hope it helps!

  • Print PDF report directly to a network printer (dot matrix)

    Dear All,
    I have a report of PDF output generated from an XML Report..

  • Exporting or Printing each page of a Crystal Report to a separate pdf file.
