CR XI's packaged JRC export to PDF, Wingdings2 font acts weirdly

I have used Wingdings2 font for a certain template. I developed the template in Windows.
In the production environment (Linux), we have put the font files in the jvm's font folder as instructed in Wingdings not exported correctly in PDF by Crystal Reports XI JRC in Linux
The weird part is the PDF exported shows "P" instead of a tick mark in user's machine. We asked users for a copy of the said PDF and when I opened it in my machine, I am able to see either "tick mark" or "P". I usually see the tick mark and it takes me about 1-5 times opening again the said document to see the "P" mark instead of the tick mark. I have Wingdings 2 installed in my PC.
Please help us resolve this problem. Thanks!

The JRC (Java Reporting Component) SDK does not have the functionality to export to Excel, but it does for PDF.  You will have to use the RAS SDK to export to Excel but as you have found, you will need CR Server.  The next release of CR4E will have support for Excel exporting (ETA TBA).

  • Export to PDF - Change Font size

    Hello everybody,
    We were exporting reports to PDF file using te "Export to PDF" option in WAD. We recently have updated the BI environment with the SP17 patch. After the patch, the font size of the reports in the export PDF file has become very small and hence not clear.
    Is there a place where we can adjust the font size of the Texts seen in the "Exported PDF reports"?
    Please help me with your Knowledge and Experience,
    Shameem

    Hi Rane,
    Thank you for your input. I am aware that we can zoom the document and see the content. However when we print the report, the reports are not as clear as it was before SP17 installation. Thats the problem.

  • Exporting to PDf reduces font size of one item only

    I am using VS 2010 with the latest CR release. Within my crystal report I have a barcode (using IDAutomationHC39M) with set font size of 10. When I click on the "Export" button and choose PDF, all of the text stays the same except for the barcode which gets reduces to a font size of like 3 or 4 (its really tiny).
    I can print it using Adobe PDF and the Barcode will stay the same font size of 10, but I want to avoid that if possible.  What do I have to do to make the barcode export with the correct font size?

    See if the KB [1218753  - Font size decreases when exporting or scheduling report to Adobe Acrobat (PDF)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333733353333%7D.do] helps.

  • Export to PDF and font size

    Hi,
    When I export the report to PDF, the font size is getting reduced. It is because of the legal size I have set in the report. If I set the print size to letter the font size are retained after export to pdf. I am using CR for visual studio 2005. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Priya

    Hi Priya,
    Try with this:
    Go to the following registry sub key:
    HKEY_USERS\[your security profile]\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
    Right-click the sub key and click New > DWORD Value. Name the DWORD value "ForceLargerFonts" and set it to the value of 1.
    Note :Backup the registry before making any changes.

  • Export to PDF changing font size

    Hi,
    I have gone through the posts on this topic and was wondering if anyone has a formula to predict what will happen to the text or what looks best in PDF?
    I am using Arial 10,11 and 12 on some reports and Times New Roman 8, 9, 10 and 11 on others.
    The worst effect is that all reports have a group of text boxes on the top right hand corner which have borders.
    The reports are basically text documents so have lots of word wrapped text.  In CR these paragraphs are close to the right hand edge in line with the text boxes at the top.
    In PDF the right hand edge of the paragraph moves in by 3-4cms.  Setting the paragraph to Justify rather than left Justify keeps it at the right, but has lots of white space which looks bad.
    regards
    ps

    Try with this:
    To resolve the behavior
    Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
    Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
    Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
    Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
    Type: DWORD
    Recognized Values: 0,1

    Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.

  • Exporting to PDF problem - font turning to rectangles

    Hi
    when exporting from Indesign CS4 to PDF I am recieving feedback from a number of clients that they are seeing text as rectangles.
    This appears to be happening with one particular font (Meta Pro). PDFing to earlier versions of Acrobat doesn't seem to make any difference either.
    I can resolve this by turning text to outlines but don't want to have to do this all the time and never had this problem with CS2
    I am running CS 4 on Windows XP Professional, version 2002, Service pack 3.
    Any help gratefully received!

    Very strange - most likely they don't have Meta Pro and the font wasn't embedded. Are you exporting or printing to postscript then distilling?
    If you're distilling then make sure that Distiller knows to Always Embed that font.
    Either way check the PDF and go to File>Document Properties and check the Fonts and make sure it says Embedded Subset (or at least embedded) beside the font.

  • MS Word crash when exporting to PDF, and font style is bold

    If i try to convert a doc file to PDF from Microsoft Word using fonts like Times New Roman, everything works fine; by using a font like Myriad Pro, Minion pro, etc. if i use even a single word in BOLD style, with other plain text, during export Word crashes, faulting in module pscript5.dll.
    Any information about this problem?
    Thanks.

    >issue with the latest version of Acrobat and not previous versions?
    I certainly don't work for Adobe, so this is only a GENERAL comment, based on many years experience with many different programs from several vendors
    When a program goes from 8.0 to 8.1 it is usually bug fixes but no major changes to the actual source code
    When a program goes from 7.0 to 8.0 that usually indicates major changes in function AND in the source code to create the program
    As an application programmer (used to be COBOL, now in a different job and use MS Access) I know that any program with more than a few hundred lines of source code WILL have problems
    When you consider that Acrobat is most likely written in C/C++ and will most likely have MANY thousands of lines of source code... it is not at all surprising that it went from 8.0 to 8.1.0 to 8.1.1
    It would not surprise me at all if Acrobat's routines for checking and using fonts had changes in that part of the source code... and IF that happened it MAY be that font handling is either "stricter" and that leads to "catching" a font that is "marginal" in operation... or that the error trapping routine changed and is causing a problem
    I personally have no idea if a corrupt font is your problem, but it does not surprise me at all that a 7.0 to 8.0 program change COULD introduce changes in the way fonts are processed

  • Export to PDF wrong font

    I have a web site that creates 2 reports using the Garamond font. One is size 12, the other is size 14.
    When I export on my development machine, the PDF has the correct fonts in it (embedded subset), however, when I move onto my QA machine, one of the Exported PDFs has Arial, and the other has TNR. I checked, and the fonts are installed on the server.
    Any suggestions?

    Try with installing acrobat on server.
    We need to do  comparison of the dlls on both machines where it is working fine with where we are having issue download the modules utility from here:
    [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]
    Run your app. Leave the issue on the screen and start modules. Go to the File menu and select New List -> memory modules. Save this file as client.mdl. Repeat the above on your dev computer, save the file as dev. Then compare the two mdls. You can do this manually, or modules has a compare feature under the Module menu.

  • PDF export - problem with embedded font

    Dear all,
    I refer to a problem which was already discussed [here|Export to PDF wrong font;. I was asked to start a new thread and provide further information. Here we are...
    The issue is nearly the same:
    - We have a solution which both has a WinForms and an .aspx UI.
    - We have a report, used in both solutions.
    - The WinForms solution uses the Crystal Viewer to preview and print and export and so on.
    - The web solution creates a PDF file and prompts to open or save. In this PDF, the font is substituted with Arial. This is actually the concrete problem.
    1) Version of CR
    on MY machine (MAYBE different on production environment, I have to check this):
    Crystal Reports 10 (10.0.0.53327)
    Crystal Reports Basic Runtime forVisual Studio 2008 (10.5.0.0)
    Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit) (13.0.0.99)
    Crystal Reports , version for Visual Studio 2010 (13.0.0.99)
    2) CR Service Packs installed
    Nope.
    3) web / win app?
    Both, see description above.
    4) Is this happening on dev or deployed system?
    On deployed system. It ONLY affects the web solution on the server, which is a Win7 64bit. My developement machine also is a Win7 64bit, it works on this device. On a colleagues machine (WinXP) it works, too.
    5) What is the actual font?
    The Font was exclusively developed for the customer by a designer, but it is fully embeddable (I already checked this).
    6) Link to a screen shot that shows the issue
    I do not know whether this really helps to NOT see a font replaced by Arial...
    I hope you can help me. If the description is a little confusing, please ask, I will try to explain better, promised. Thank you, have a nice weekend!
    Greetings,
    Jens

    Hi Don,
    thank you very much for your reply!
    The font is True Type, embedding allows preview/print.
    What exactly does "Then make sure the WEB Servers have access to the font." mean? It is installed on the machine. I'm not really familiar with that server config stuff, as it is usually not my job...
    Do we have to install the update (it is called support pack 2, right?) on the developement AND the deployment machine? Or only on the developement environment?
    Best regards,
    Jens

  • Displaying Missing Font Dialog when exporting to PDF?

    Does anyone knows a way to display the missing font dialog again, after it has been shown when the document was opened? We need to export to PDF with font embedding/subsetting, but if a font is missing, the substituted font is embedded instead.
    InDesign warns when fonts are missing when it exports to PDF via the UI, so at first I thought I was simply suppressing the error dialog, but IPDFExportPrefs->SetPDFExErrorControl(kExportErrorControlWarnAndContinue) in combination with IUIFlagData->Set(kFullUI) doesn't help.
    I can already detect when a font is missing ( thanks to IDocumentFontUsage->GetNumMissingFonts), but I can't get the missing font dialog to display again. I tried IFontUseWarningManager->WarnUser but that doesn't work. If there is any other approach, I'd be grateful to hear it.
    I already searched the forum but ironically, I find only messages from people trying to suppress the missing font dialog...

    Check the fonts have embedding permissions.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html allows you to generate bookmarks from any pdf by embedding Crystal formulas that act as invisible tags.

  • InDesign crashes when i export a pdf, overprint preview and package

    I am using CS6 on a MacBook Pro. I have version 10.8.5.
    I am working on a manual (original file not created by me).
    I was trying to pacakge all the files together but it kept crashing. I do not see the blank window some people have been seeing when this happens. I only get the window about letting Apple know about the problem and submitting the problem to Adobe.
    Under Preflight all systems are fine, I have the green light.
    I checked that paragraph styles, character styles and master pages did not have fonts missing.
    I went through all files and noticed some eps's did not have fonts converted to outlines so I made them outlines and relinked them.
    I also changed all RGB to CMYK.
    I converted the file to an IDML, reopened InDesign. I also resaved the file to a different name.
    These did not seem to help unfortunately.
    If there is no visible problem, what can one do? At this point I am trying to pdf one page at a time to see if I can pinpoint as to where the issues lies.
    InDesign also crashes when exporting a .pdf and when I try to run an overprint preview. So strange..

    Well I don't get why this would have been the problem, but I removed the logo that was on the cover and on the back. Since the logo was all vector, I copied it and pasted it into InDesign (so no links). This allowed me to create a .pdf and to package. This logo has been used several times over and over so not sure why this was part of the issue..

  • Applescript: Packaging and exporting PDFs for multiple files -- need some tweaks

    I found and tweaked a droplet script that isn't quite working right. I am hoping for some help with getting it to work the way I want. I tried and failed to learn to do this myself. Your help is greatly appreciated!
    Here's an example: I drag two files called "filename.indd" and "filename2.indd" onto the droplet. The script I have right now will output the packages and PDFs into the following folder structure:
    export folder
         filename folder
              filename.pdf
              filename folder
                   filename.indd
                   [Package contents]
         filename2 folder
              filename2.pdf
              filename2 folder
                   filename2.indd
                   [Package contents]
    Here's the folder structure I need (using a dialog box or script that intelligently knows that the directory to save in is the same as the files I dragged on to the droplet would be amazing):
    dialog box to choose new directory set to baseFolder
    or
    baseFolder <---- set to the current directory of the files I dragged onto the droplet
         filename folder
              filename.indd
              [Package contents]
              PDF folder             <--------new folder "PDF" created
                   filename.pdf
         filename2 folder
              filename2.indd
              [Package contents]
              PDF folder             <--------new folder "PDF" created
                   filename2.pdf
    Here's a script I found and modified:
    property baseFolder : (path to desktop as text) & "exports:"
    on open mgItems
              repeat with mgThisItem in mgItems
                        tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign"
                                  try
      open mgThisItem
                                            set mgDocName to name of active document
                                            set text item delimiters of AppleScript to ".indd"
                                            set mgShortName to text item 1 of mgDocName
                                            set targetFolderPath to my createFolder(mgShortName)
                                            set text item delimiters of AppleScript to ""

                                            set properties of PDF export preferences to properties of PDF export preset "[Smallest File Size]"
                                            tell the active document to export format PDF type to mgProofFilePath without showing options
                                            tell the active document to package to mgPackageFilePath with copying fonts, ignore preflight errors, copying profiles, updating graphics, including hidden layers, copying linked graphics and creating report

    end open

  • Crystal reports 2008 Arabic content export to PDF issue with JRC

    hi there,
    I am using JRC  for our JAVA application, The report contains of partial Arabic & Englishand while viewing report arabic text is shown correct. While exporting to PDF, the arabic content  was reversed (reversed characterwise).
    If I call from BO server and then exporting to pdf is fine. Only the problem is when we call the report from local.
    Is there any fix for this issue? Please help.

    No, seems you are the only having this problem.
    Try downloading Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com and filter on crw32.exe and then export and look in the logs to see if any permissions are denied or missing dependencies.
    Be sure you are a local PC Administrator when installing also.
    Thank you

  • JRC for Eclipse 2.0: Export to PDF with Flash Objects in RPT file

    Hi,
        We've a few reports created with Flash objects in it ( from Xcelsius). We are trying to generate the reports and export it to PDF using the new JRC for Eclipse 2.0. The exported file size is big ( 600MB) but there is no flash object or data in it. Can you please help us with this one?
    Thanks,
    Bala

    Hi, Ted. Thanks for looking into this.
    I asked a similar question last September in this [thread|CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing;. It's my understanding that exporting flash objects to pdf is not support in  CR 2008.
    In CR 2008, when I export a report containing a swf to pdf, the flash file is not rendered in Adobe Reader. It looks like there's just a picture. In fact, in CR, if you r-click on the swf and do Format Flash... | Flash, you can change the picture used for export and printing. The default picture is what I'm seeing in the pdf.
    I'm creating the swf using Xcelsius 2008. In XC 2008, if I export to pdf, the flash object is rendered. Why the difference?
    The same Adobe reader is being used in both cases.
    I'd be glad to send an .rpt with embeded swf for you to test.
    Thanks again.
    Tim
