Creating PDFs in PSE 7
Hi,
I've been looking everywhere to find out what options are available (if any) to create a PDF in PSE 7.
I know how to save a single page, or multi page PDF, but I can't seem to find much options for making the PDF smaller in size.
One problem I have is creating a one page PDF can take up to 1.5mb, whereas if I take that SAME PDF and add a blank page, it will save as 350kb.
Any ideas why that might be?
Thanks!
Yes, just Save As. You might want to check out the online version of Acrobat. I think you can use that a few times before it starts to cost, or there are other PDF creation programs. CutePDF is popular, and free, but I don't know if it has any settings like compression level--haven't used it in a while.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.
Hi,
Can you please share the logs?

Random error when using cfpdfform to create pdf
I have a series of pdf forms that have been created with extended rights in reader using both Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro X. I use cfpdfform to pre-populate the form and name it with a unique guid. Some people randomly are getting the error in reader "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no lonfer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I have tried to replicate the error using the exact same settings of windows, browser and reader version and cannot replicate. I have researched extensively online and see many people experiencing the same error message but no clear resolution found. Below is the code that I am using to save the prepopulated form. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Create PDF crashes webapplication
Hi,
We have a website that creates PDF-reports using SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit) SP1. The site runs on Windows 2003 R2 x64.
The site (w3wp.exe) crashes every now and then when a report is generated in PDF. We cannot trace it back to specific reports, users or actions. It seems to be random. We don't have this issue on x86-webservers with the same application and CR-version.
We got a memory dump from one of the crashes. The dump can be found [here|http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZFVJ7FEZ] (zipped, about 330MB). Microsoft already analyzed this dump and this is the conclusion :
Here is my analysis: as you already noted, the stack goes from the SAP component to msvcr80, based on the method name (without the private symbols we cannot see the arguments passed etcu2026) it looks like they are initializing something which requires memory to be moved around, hence the call to memmove_s

First, itu2019s interesting to note that the destination pointer does not look to be valid; the call to msvcr80!memmove_s comes directly from crxf_pdf!UXFInitializeW (there are no u201Chiddenu201D calls in the middle):

The exception (an Access Violation) is actually thrown in msvcr80 while it is trying to copy the memory as a result of the move call:

Unfortunately without the private symbols we cannot see what that memory belongs to.
Anyway since I have access to all Microsoft private symbols, the fact that I cannot find this specific one I think means this is part of the SAP components. I think we can conclude the problem originates from the crxf_pdf.dll and manifests itself in msvcr80.dll because of some wrong parameter passed into that call.
All help would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
ThomasHi Thomas,
Since you have RAS available use this code and test again:
private void ExportToPDFRAS_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
//rpt.Load("c:
Reports
Group.rpt");
rcd = rptClientDoc;
// Declare a PrintOutputController to allow documents to be exported to PDF
PrintOutputController rasPrintOutputController;
CrReportExportFormatEnum rasReportExportFormat;
CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOpts = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions();
diskOpts.DiskFileName = "c:
reports
reports1.pdf";
// Set the CrReportExportFormatEnum to export the report as a PDF file.
rasReportExportFormat = CrReportExportFormatEnum.crReportExportFormatPDF;
rasPrintOutputController = rcd.PrintOutputController;
// Use the Export() method of the PrintOutputController to export the report to a ByteArray.
ByteArray tempByteArray = rasPrintOutputController.Export(rasReportExportFormat, 0);
Byte[] byteStreamOutput = tempByteArray.ByteArray;
System.IO.Stream oStream;
byte[] byteArray = null;
oStream = rpt.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
byteArray = new byte[oStream.Length];
oStream.Read(byteArray, 0, Convert.ToInt32(oStream.Length - 1));
// this is used to verify the file so I saved it to disk
System.IO.File.Create(diskOpts.DiskFileName, Convert.ToInt32(oStream.Length - 1)).Close();
System.IO.File.OpenWrite(diskOpts.DiskFileName).Write(byteArray, 0, Convert.ToInt32(oStream.Length - 1));
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(diskOpts.DiskFileName, System.IO.FileAttributes.Directory);
oStream.Close();
CR requires contiguous memory space so for large reports IIS may not be able to handle cleaning up it's memory fragmentation when objects are freed up. It's a common problem with Java app's also, Java doesn't have a good memory manager either.
Because of the lack of ability to pass files through Forums I suggest you purchase a support case if you don't have a Support Contract and work with a Support engineer here to debug the problem. We can get the PDB's for those files to you if that helps MS determine what their issue is...
Thanks

Creating pdf report from xml publisher report
Hi,
I'm newbie to xmlpublisher env.
We've a report in Oracle 11i developed in unix shell script and run as concurrent program generating check details which will be printed on checks.
I was asked to migrate this report into R12 in pdf format.They provided rtf template and xml data.I installed xml publisher desktop.I would like to know how I can create pdf template,if necessary changing the position of fields on the template.
Thanks,
KiranHi Kiran,
Sorry to say, but no you can not use the desktop or standalone edition for integration with EBS.
In your case there are 2 alternatives for you:
1) Update the Unix shell script so it's ok for R12 (it did a good job for a long time on 11i)
2) Leave the unix script and redesign for BI Publisher (ebs edition)
Both are taking the same effort in my opinion, only since you moved to R12 it's a good learning moment to get to know the strength of BIP.
Since you task is to modify the standard Oracle solution, which i guess is an rtf template provided download the MS Word plugin and adjust the template
If any detail help needed please contact me directly -
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 won't create PDFs by itself or within an Office 2007 application. Please help.
Well, needless to say, everything was working fine when our department was running Acrobat 7 and Office 2003. We made the choice a few weeks ago to upgrade to Office 2007 and Acrobat 8. Both are pushed via Group Policy. One other thing to note, as I think it might be an issue, is that our users have their My Documents redirected to a server. I only mention this, because the Default PDF Output Folder within Acrobat 8 is My Documents.
Here are the strange things that we've noticed so far:
1) When you open up the Adobe PDF Properties within Printers and Faxes, the Location displays an "x" followed by two non-standard box characters that I can't seem to write out here. I've uploaded a screen shot if that makes it easier. On a manually installed copy of Acrobat 8, this location box will say My Documents.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_weird_characters.png
2) The Adobe PDF printer port grabs LPT1, even if there is another printer already on that port. This behavior is seen when being pushed via GPO. When it's manually installed via the disc, Adobe PDF gets it's own special port "My Documents\*.pdf" with a description of "Adobe PDF Port". When I try to see if I can add such a port on the GPO pushed computers, it doesn't list it as an option. Here again are two screen shots to show what I'm talking about.
Weird Port:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_weird_port.png
Adobe Port:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_correct_port.png
Ok, so those are just the oddities seen after performing a GPO installation.
3) When I right click on a Word 2007 (*.docx) file and choose "Convert to Adobe PDF", it asks me where I want to save the newly created PDF at. It will start converting it, but a few seconds later a balloon error pops up saying that the document failed to print.
4) When I try to create a PDF via the Word 2007 ribbon add-on for Acrobat, I get the same error.
I decided to bump a standard user up to administrator of the local machine. All these errors go away and they can create PDFs to their heart's content. As soon as I bump them back down to a standard user, new errors arise.
5) Now when they try to create a PDF, they get prompted TWICE for the PDF Save As location. When I click on Convert to PDF via the context menu of the Word 2007 file, I get the Adobe PDF Status box, then a few seconds later, I get the Save Adobe PDF File As box. I tell it where to save the PDF to. I then get a second box asking me where to save the PDF to, but it's titled different. This new box is "Save PDF File As". Whatever location I choose there, I get an Access Denied error and an Adobe Printer error that the document has failed to print. I've created screen shots of those as well. Here they are in order:
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_01.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_02.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_03.png
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_access_denied_04.png
Does anyone have any solutions whatsoever to fix this? I'm not about to go around to 100 computers and install Acrobat manually when it should work correctly via GPO. If Acrobat doesn't like the fact that a user My Documents is redirected to the server, I noticed that I can change the default PDF file location within the Adobe Customization Wizard. I've not tested that yet to see if it would even help.
I should mention that I have tried running a repair. Didn't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling via GPO. Didn't help. So, we've installed the Microsoft Office PDF Creator plug-in and that works perfectly. For the time being Acrobat Pro has basically dropped itself down to a reader for all intents and purposes.@ Bill@VT: I did try adding a port. That's the problem. When it's on a problematic installation, those special Adobe Port aren't available for me to choose from.
OK, I have some new information regarding my issue. I've done some more testing and this is what I have learned and how I arrived at that conclusion.
b It appears to be an issue with the 8.1.2 update.
1) I manually installed Acrobat 8.0.0 via the executable file I downloaded from Adobe Licensing. I had to go through all the installation prompts, enter the serial key, accept the EULA, etc. I even applied the 8.1.0 update. At this point, everything was fine. Any user on this computer could create PDFs via any method. The Adobe PDF Port was correct and no listed under LPT1 like in the above screen shots. And My Documents was listed as the Default PDF Location, even though users have their My Docs redirected to the server. Like I said, everything worked perfectly.
2) I decided to install via the Administrative Install Point (AIP) on the server for Acrobat 8.1.2 and the corresponding transform file. After doing this, the problems came back. My first assumption is that the transform file is causing the problem.
3) To verify that it was in fact the transform file I perform an install from the AIP using the AcroPro.msi file only. No switches and no transform file. Guess what? Problems are still there. So, that wipes out the transform file problem.
A couple of notes:
It could be related to the AIP and doing administrative installation upgrades to 8.1.2. My next test is to install 8.0.0 from scratch and manually upgrade that installation to 8.1.0, then 8.1.1, then 8.1.2 to find out when and if it breaks.
I was able to get a contact number for Adobe's "Volume Licensing" department, so I might end up giving them a call. In fact, even if I narrow down what appears to be the problem, I'm still going to have to give them a call to find out what can be done about it. Because at the moment, the issue is there for 100+ users and something needs to be fixed. All I'm doing at this point is working backwards to figure out what may have caused the problem in the first place. -
How do I use auto-form recognition to create PDF forms in Acrobat XI?
I used to use Acrobat 9 to create PDF forms that would allow me to fill in text into the fields that were created. Acrobat XI seems to have changed the way this function is performed. Previously, I could run an auto form recognition wizard, do some minor tweaking, and be done. Now, when I attempt to follow the process in Acrobat XI, I get the following message that pops up: "No new form field annotations were detected.", and no fields get created. I could do this manually, but the process of doing so is very clunky and cumbersome. Once I create a new text field, I must then go back and resize it. This would not be a problem if I was only working with a few fields on a single page, but I have a six page document with multiple fields to create (text fields, check box fields, etc.). Perhaps I'm missing something, but there seems to be no simple way to do this anymore. It's making me want to just install Acrobat 9, so that I will have back the feature that I used to have. I'm using Acrobat XI on Mac, but I'm assuming the function should be the same in Windows. I can use Preview on the Mac to simply type in the text that I need, but I was hoping to pass along the PDF so that others can use it as well. This is not just a one time thing.
There are no APIs for C# and external applications for this conversion. There is however an API for Acrobat plugins to perform this operation. So, if necessary, you could write a custom plugin (that calls the API you need) and expose that via some form of IPC to your C# app.

Is there a way to create pdf files offline?
Is there a way to create pdf files offline?
Certainly, that's what Acrobat does. (But not Adobe's PDF Pack).
Note that you will need an internet connection to install Acrobat and (so far as I know) every month to check your license. So it's no use if you will be off net. -
What do I need to create PDF files on my iPad?
So, in trying to resolve the frustration I am having in using Adobe Reader for iOS to create PDFs (without having to pay Adobe another 25% of my current Creative Cloud subscription....) I logged a sales eqnuiry via Adobe website.
I get a call back withint a couple of hours. Not bad.
He immediately asks how many computers I have enabled for my Creative Cloud account. Only one, I say.
Well, he says, then you can install Creative Cloud on your iPad.
No I can't, I said - Creative Cloud for iPad is a very skinny client, only handles Photoshop, and view some file formats. Not a full Acrobat function.
Oh, he says, let em check. Eventually comes back. Yes, you are right he says. You have to pay us another $15 per month on top of the $50 per month Creative Crowd (even though CC already includes Acrobat Pro) you already pay, just so you can create PDFs on your iPad.
That's ridiculous, I say - Adobe does not know how customers want to use your products. More people are going to use a desktop plus tablet - or laptop only. But if I have a desktop and a laptop I can have Creative Cloud on both. I accept that they are different OS, but don't make excuses like "Acrobat.com is a different product to Acrobat Pro" - I already pay for the latter in my CC subscription, so why should I be price gouged another 25%? Makes Adobe look plain greedy - and still they don't want to pay tax in Australia....
If it was no more than $5 per month on top of the CC subscription, maybe I would go for it - but anything more is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY in my opinion.Hi GrattanGuru,
You have creative cloud subscription as you have mentioned. Under Adobe Reader to convert PDF to other formats Adobe offers online service called Acrobat.com services: https://www.acrobat.com/en_us.html
That would be the reason support person might have told you on call, that you have to pay for that service.
Under creative cloud you are getting Adobe applications. However under Acrobat.com you are getting online services which are providing Acrobat functions online.

An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
GOOD NEWS
I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
(1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
(2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
(3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
(4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
(5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
(6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
(7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
(8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
(9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
(10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
DON'T USE PDFWRITER
The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
Case 3: Acrobat 3
Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.
- DovYou're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

Error while creating PDF using asynchronous
Hi,
I was using Asynchronous call to generate PDF. It was
working for some time. Now it is showing error.
We are not able to able to create PDF reports at that time.
When we are checking the exception log of the CF Server, we can
find the following error.

Anyone having idea about this error?
Please help to track this.
Thanks in advanceIf the report didn't change, then perhaps the data did. Check
to make sure the data being supplied to the report is as expected.
I have run into mysterious errors where an expected value was of
the wrong type or a required value was now blank. It is also
possible to have existing logical errors in an iif() or other
dynamic evaluation expression that was not previously examined;
until now. So, is there any unexpected or exceptional data the
report cannot handle?
