Converting OBIEE Answers / Interactive Dashboards into .pdf or .xls files

Hi all;
I’m a freshie here as well as in Business Intelligence industry. Right now, without prior knowledge about this tool, I’m working in OBIEE answer.
Is it possible for us to convert OBIEE answer report/dashboard into .pdf or .xls files? Other tools like Cognos and Business Object have their own utilities to convert the tool’s reports into those formats. I believe OBIEE also have that essential, but untill now, i couldn’t find it.

You can download Reports on Dashboard to PDF and HTML from:
Click Printer Friendly icon placed at bottom left corner and PDF or HTML.
You can download individual reports on Dashboard:
Page Options ==> Edit ==> Report Properties ==> Report Links. Check the options you want to see below the report.

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

How can I use pdf pack to convert cubase documents (music scores) into pdfs? I am looking for the former possibility to install acrobat like a printer but i don't have this option with "pdf pack". Can you help?

Hi mariab,
What format are those music scores (I'm not familiar with cubase documents). But, it may be that Adobe PDF Pack doesn't support that format. In that case, Acrobat is the way to go. You can then print your files to PDF as you'd like. You're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days to see whether it's going to work for you. If you decide it is, and you'd like to use it going forward, you could convert your PDF Pack subscription into an Acrobat subscription.
Best,
Sara

SEARCH: Widget that shows a PDF or XLS File

Hey,
I am looking for a widget which can show me a pdf or XLS file (Picture would be a possible work around).
Best would be to show a small kind of thumbnail and a magnifying class to look up details. So far about the wish list .
Reason is my weekly time-planner - I use a XLS sheet in adoption of Steven Covey's "7 Habits of highly effiective people" - and in order to be even more effective, I would like to make this visible
Thanks for the help

for PDF, try this out...
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashclipping.html
allows you to use a URL to display in a window. nice widget. I use it to check a site or two, but i have tested on local PDF files, and it works fine...
eg:
URL = file://localhost/Users/usernamehere/Desktop/example.pdf

Can't download pdf and xls file

Hi, I want to download an attachment from my gmail .When I clicked to download, it will go to icloud.com and displayed like this."Your file will begin downloading automatically.Don't see it? Try again>
The attachment contains both pdf and xls files.
I have tried many times.
Please help me.

Hi amusa123,
I don't get it. So let me try to explain again what you are describing:
- You open a mail in Gmail (I guess Gmail in the browser, right?)
- This email has an attachment (a excel sheet, right?)
- You try to open the file, which immediately starts downloading the file to your Mac (usually the file gets downloaded into the Downloads folder)
What I don't get, where do you receive a message regarding icloud.com?
With kind regards,
David

Folks
Wondering if anyone can shed any light on how to check PDF/DOC/XLS files passwords?
I'm not trying to crack the password, I'm writing a program where people are uploading files, but I don't want people submitting files that require passwords to open them.

How to convert Chineese script O/P into PDF?

Hi,
I have a requirement like "Irrespective of login language i need to send both english as well as chineese PDF's to multiple recepients.I m using CONVERT_OTF FM to do so.So when i login into EN and run the script english PDF comes fine but in chineese PDF i m getting chineese Descriptions as junk values.
I am providing a piece of code.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
         TABLES
              otfdata = tb_otf
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS = 1.
I am not using spool concept instead i m taking the script output into tb_otf while closing the script o/p.
Then i am calling FM CONVERT_OTF to convert that tb_otf into PDF format.
So how can i avoid those chineese characters coming as junk values.
will CONVERT_OTF work for other languages because inside the FM there is a statement "cur_system_lang = SY-LANGU." In my case sy-lang will be either EN or Chineese.
Kindly provide some solution.
Thanks in advance,
Rithwika

Converting Smartform in Crycllic languages into PDF format

Hi All,
I have a smart form that needs to be converted into PDF and sent by mail as an attachment.
I have a problem with Cyrillic Languages (Bulgarian).
When i use FM convert OTF to PDF its giving some garbage characters insteading of printing cyrillic letters.
The output is correct when I see the print preview of the smartform.
Please can anyone suggest me in this regard.
I appreciate any help.
Regards,
Abha

Before doing the conversion OTF -> PDF you should provide proper printing device . Only then you can assure the correctness of conversion to different lanuguages.
data: ls_output_options      type ssfcompop,
      ls_control_parameters type ssfctrlop,
      l_devtype              type rspoptype.
translate language to upper case.
ls_control_parameters-langu = language.
ls_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
ls_control_parameters-getotf    = 'X'.
" get device type from language
call function 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
    exporting
      i_language                   = language
    importing
      e_devtype                    = l_devtype
    exceptions
      no_language                  = 1
      language_not_installed       = 2
      no_devtype_found             = 3
      system_error                 = 4
      others                       = 5.
" set device type in output options
ls_output_options-tdprinter = l_devtype.
call function l_sf_function_module
       exporting
                  control_parameters   = ls_control_parameters
                  output_options       = ls_output_options
                  user_settings        = space

Converting Illustrator File into PDF/X-1A File?

Can someone provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to convert a CS2 Illustrator file (mac) into a PDF/X-1A File that would be suitable for hi-res printing in a major publication? My AI file contains mac fonts (which can either be outlined or kept as is) and one CMYK image. All colors are already in CYMK mode in my AI file.
Thanks!
Tuan

You don't need to outline fonts for a PDF file. Choose File > Save As. Choose Format: Adobe PDF (pdf). Choose the PDF/X-1a:2001 PDF Preset.
But it's always a good idea to check with the printer for special requirements, if possible.

Convert Pdf To Xls File On Mac

The problem is the fact that the stories come in PDF format. They all are complicated, with multi table, and normal 60-100 pages in length. You need to change PDF to XLS format to put them within the administration process. Get more info >>> https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdftoexcelconverter/

Do you have a question?

How do I save my new data into a new .xls file? i am running my VI in a continious mode

I am using a Data Acquisition Board to get my pressure and displacement signals. Have to measure it continiously. I am able to save the data continiously but not in new XLS file for new experiment. If any of you could hepl me with it

This depends upon how you are writing it to file. If you are using the "Export Waveforms to Spreadsheet File" VI, then you can actually just open this file with Excel and you will see all of the data fine. That's the easiest way to do it. If you are wanting to write to Excel directly, you can use ActiveX calls to do this. If you choose the latter, I would suggest purchasing the Report Generation for Microsoft Office Toolset for LabVIEW. It provides VIs which write your data directly to Excel files.

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.
