Correct pdf from report 9i

Wanted know as it is correct to get pdf from reports 9i. I necessary to get the report with Cyrillic symbol. Use section [ PDF:Embed ] beside me was not got. I have taken Type1 font from resource Acrobat reader 5.0, made sure by means of program fontview.exe from supply Windows that this font contains Cyrillic symbols, has described his use: "Courier New" = "COM_____.pfm COM_____.pfb". As a result pdf file was got with embedded font, but Cyrillic symbols are don't care displayed not correct. When use [ PDF:Subset ] is got correct displayed pdf, but with use font Type3 that on my not quite well.
Thanks.

Hi,
Using PDF embeding with Type1 fonts will not give you the symbol as the Type1 fonts have characters only upto 256. The way to get the Cyrillic symbols properly is to use PDF subsetting. You need to use either UTF8 or any Cyrillic charcater set and use True Type fonts. Add proper entried to uifont.ali for subsetting. An example would be to add, "courier = courier.ttf". The ttf files location should be included in Reports path. Internaly when doing PDf subsetting, these are converted to Type3 fonts so you will always get that. It works properly with Acrobat reader 5.0 for displaying and printing purpose.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Rohit

Problem Exporting to PDF from Report Designer 2008

When I export my report from Report Designer unless I deselect the "Create Bookmarks from group tree" I get the following error: "Failed to export the report" If I deselect the option It will successfully create the PDF.
I am running Crystal Reports 2008 with service pack 2. I also have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 loaded on the machine.

You should start debugging by removing parts of the report to determine what is causing the problem. Once you find that part then re-post with a question on how to work around the problem.

An error occurs when rendering to PDF from Reporting Services

Hi there,
I am hoping that someone can help me, i have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this error. I have a report from visual studio 2008 on reporting services and it displays however exporting to PDF gives me the following error.

Hi brabe,
Based on your description, it seems that it is not the VS IDE issue, just to make this issue clearly, whether this issue is related to the SSRS or the report control?
If it is related to the SSRS like these threads
here and
here, my suggestion is that you could post this issue to the SSRS forum for dedicated support.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=sqlreportingservices
But if it is the Report control issue, you could get better response from this forum:

If I have misunderstood this issue, please feel free to let me know, please also provide detailed message about this issue, I will help you find the correct forum:)

Generating PDF from report - migrating from 6i to 10g

hi ,
i ran my existing report which is developed in oracle 6i in 10g report builder .
i got the output perfectly.
But when i say Generate to file PDF ,I Am getting below error msg .
REP-0069 :Internal error
REP-57054:In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
REP-214718514:Unable to retreive a string from the Report Builder message file.
REP-2147418514
can anyone tell me what should i do to overcome this ..
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
How do you execute your Reports ?
Do you execute it from the Builder ?
If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
(If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

Show BLOB (open a pdf) from Report in a new window

I use BLOB Support in Apex 3.2/4.0 (MIMETYPE..) at an IR:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/advnc.htm#sthref2199
Because my BLOB (pdf,...) should be opened without asking for download or open I use content_position INLINE.
That works fine, but I would like to get the opened document in a NEW window , not the same window ??
( If I klick the download with "open in a new window" it works fine)
Any idea?
I remembered Link-Attribute target="_blank" (that works fine)
So my first idea was
(1) defining the BLOB column as a Link (type=URL) call APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC and use Link-Attribute target="_blank".
But APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC needs an ITEM ... and what about MIMETYPE...
=>It will not work.
My second idea is
(2) Link from the report to another page having a hidden Item for the linked ID and
create an hidden ITEM (having the BLOB attributes) like described at Dimitrie's BLOG
http://dgielis.blogspot.com/2009/05/using-apexutilgetblobfilesrc-on-public.html
At this page a process on load before header call APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC with these items as parameters
=> Seems to complicated
Any better idea?

Hi,
You know I have to thank you for the solution as by asking your question you provided me with a way to solve my problem .....
As double clicking a pdf file when the application is open with no open document works as I want it to (i.e. showing the new document in the existing acrobat window), so I decided to try out a plain vanilla shell instruction in vba instead of the AVDOC.Open statement ... and ....although not very programmatically aesthetic .... it works.

Printing PDF from Report Region - Header Details

Hi,
I've searched around for a while but was unable to find an answer to my query.
I have a simple report region, which i added a "Print" link to the bottom of - this brings up a formatted PDF version of the report which can be printed out, i'm just using the default PDF layout.
When it comes to adding a header and footer the PDF still functions ok, but when i try to add any page items it all stops working.
I basically need the time and date to appear at the top of the report, i created a hidden field just using the PL/SQL command "SYSDATE" which does return the correct value. But when i try to add this to the header or footer in the format "This document was printed on &P1_DATE", the PDF doesn't work, and when i try to download it, IE says the filesize is 0b.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, either something i've done wrong or if there is a better method,
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Scott,
The PDF does download when I put a fullstop after the name of the item. Unfortunatly now the PDF displays as if the item "P1_DATE" is empty, i.e. it says "This document was printed on ",
I've made P1_DATE visible and it definitly displays a date, yet the exported PDF displays nothing where P1_DATE is referenced,
Just to confirm:
The Item is called P1_DATE
The references i've tried are &P1_DATE. and &P1_DATE
the date is populated by the code SYSDATE
Thanks again,
Iain.

Programmaticly name the PDF from report generator

Hi,
I'm currently developing an application that contains report generation.
Using report generation pallet I was able to make PDFs but the problem is that a dialog box appears asking me to give a name to the PDF.
Since the application will be running all the year generating weekly reports I need to make automatis naming for the PDFs because I don't have all the Time operator to name the file.
Thanks in advance
Tareq Al-Arja

I'm assuming that the method you are using to create PDF reports is to "print" them to a PDF writer. In this case, it is an issue that resides outside of LabVIEW. LabVIEW simply sends the document to the PDF "printer" and it is actually the PDF Writer that is querying you for the name. Since most printers don't require you to name files that you print, LabVIEW does not provide any way of sending this information programmatically.
If automation of those PDF names is imperative, you might be able to build PDF documents through ActiveX with Adobe and programmatically provide PDF names that way, but from my experience, Adobe does a pretty poor job of documenting their ActiveX functions. However, it may be something worth exploring if the issue is important to you.

How to create pdf from reports iView in VC?

Hello,
I have created a certain iView which presents a few BI reports in VC.
Is it possible to add to it a button or a link that by pressing on it will generate a pdf file with these reports so the client can download?

Hi,
It can paste data into a microsoft word document. But the chart is not pasted. instead data in all components in the particular iview (including table data and chart data) is coiped into clipboard.
Only, the category axis, value axis and data series fields are copied and can be pasted into excel. May be you can use an excel macro to make the chart with the data.
Try another method
For the button, give system action "print" with parameter "print screen".
The whole screen is printed to printer including chart(correctly displayed). You can redirect the print to a file. But i have no idea, what is the format of the print. may be you can try some picture viewers or do a google search for that

Pdf from reports 9i

Why if reference in sections [ PDF:Subset ] some font, for instance: Arial..... = "arial.ttf" then in file PDF this font is got more fat?

This is a new feature in 9i - "Font Subsetting".
You have to use [ PDF:Subset ] section in uifont.ali to specify this. This is supported for true type fonts.
For example,
Arial = "Arial.ttf"
When you generate the output to PDF, the subset of the font information(for the characters used in the report alone )is embedded in the PDF document itself.
This makes your PDF document fully portable and gives a standard look and feel. There is no need of having the fonts installed in the machine where this PDF document is being viewed.
As some font information is embedded into the PDF output, the resulting PDF looks slightly bigger. Anyhow, by default the PDF output from Reports9i is compressed (you can use PDFCOMP to control this).
Please see http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/content.html to know more about these new features.

Export to PDF from reports page

I have a report saved in .tdr format that contains multiple pages. When I try to export to PDF, it only exports the first page of the 7 that are contained in the report view. The only way I can seem to get all the pages exported to PDF format in a single file is to use the script command PicPDFExport call. It does not seem like you should have to use a script to export multi page reports from within the report view.
Does anyone know how you can export all the pages into a single pdf file without using the script command? (i.e. why does selecting File->PDF Export only export the first page from the report view screen?)

Jervin
I am using version 10.2 and yes when I stated mulitple pages, I did mean sheets.
I did notice this morning that if I dont have any of my data loaded (i.e. report contents empty) and I select the File->PDF Export, then it appears to export all sheets to the pdf. However, if I load my data and then refresh the report and re-try to perform the export function, then it only exports the first sheet.
Not sure why having data loaded or not makes a difference so I have attached both the .tdr report and .tdm/.tdx data so if you could investigate why this is occurring I would appreciated it. Also, as I mentioned before if I use the script command PicPDFExport then it appears to export all the sheets but I dont believe I should have to use a script command to perform this function when a menu option is available.

REP-0499 when generating PDF from report

Hi,
I have a simple query in data model where I'm selecting Oracle database object :
select a.shape from table a;
shape is shapedefinition type that is composed of :
Axis varchar2(1),
x number(2),
y number(2),
z number(2)
when I generate report it works fine but when I try to generate to PDF file I get this error : REP-0499: Column 'Axis' selected by the query is incompatible with report definition
But when I run similar report but database object is composed entirely of number types I don't have this prob.
As far as I can tell, nothing has been changed in Database and it seems like this error only happens when I try to select from database object that contains varchar2 type.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Davey, please send me an InDesign Server document that I could use to reproduce this problem. My e-mail address is [email protected] Thank you. --DougR

Problems printing PDF from Reports

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the Report's way of generating pdf-documents.
The report that Reports was supposed to create have some bullets where but when Reports converts the document to pdf it sometimes insert asterisks instead of bullets...but only sometimes. At other times the bullets are substituted with | signs ???
When I open the file with Acrobat reader, you can see the asterisks (sometimes) and (sometimes) the bullets, so I don't think that it is Acrobat.
How do I get it to print bullets every time?
Can it be something with fonts ?
All help is appriaciated very much as I'm going crazy soon :P
mvh Christian

Hi Christian,
I have a similar problem with Report 10g R1. We have a Report which contains a lot of informations, so all field have the little size they can (on report builder). Some times, the report is ok, but some times, informations are replaced by '*'. Report replace characters by '*' when there is not enough place !!!
If I compare a good and a bad report, I can see that the text has not exactly the same size !!! And I can see in the PDF (open with text editor) that there are some differences...
I have an open tar on metalink, but no solution for the moment...
Another thing, this occurs on our 3 production servers but not on our development server...

Then i change the two value's, press OK and my report is up to date.
So i want that every day, at 02:00 am, the report gets updated automatically with the values of pasted day. And email it to someone@somewhere
Can you help me please.

Export to PDF from Infoview does not show correct data - CRS 2008

I have a problem where users attempt to export a report from the Infoview interface to a PDF. The report shows correctly in Infoview while in Crystal Reports format, but when the use exports the data, the data changes and shows different values. To troubleshoot, I have tried this on different clients - without a change in the result. I have also pulled the latest instance of the report from this history on the Central Management Console. Interestingly enough, the same thing happens when I export to a PDF from there as well. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
I can't tell you offhand on what the issue is here, as various factors come into play.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Try opening the report in Crystal Report designer and export to pdf from there. Does this work?
- Instead of viewing the report and export; schedule a report to PDF and check the results.
- there is currently a know issue in regards of certain formulas and using font type "arial Unicode MS" that gives incorrect export to pdf. Maybe alter the font used.. or see if you take out any questionable formulas and try again to export.

Duncan

Saved PDF from Stored Procedure missing application item in report header

I am able to create and save the pdf from a stored procedure however the application item that contains the date is blank in the saved pdf. Report title displays correctly when running via APEX. I have tried to set this value with, apex_util.set_session_state('F111_DATE',sysdate); and also as a cookie owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));
and neither of these statements work. Example of code below...
vRequest := Utl_Http.begin_request(vReportUrl,'POST');
Utl_Http.set_header(vRequest, 'User-Agent', 'Mozilla/4.0');
owa_cookie.send('F11_DATE',to_char(sysdate,'Month DD, YYYY'));
apex_util.set_session_state('F111_DATE',sysdate);
vResponse := Utl_Http.get_response(vRequest);
Apex version 3.2/ 11g
