Crystal Report as PDF without Crystal Report Viewer

Hi,
i have a question to a Crystal Report document. The situation is, that i have a document in InfoView. If i open the Crystal document, it will be launch the Crystal Report viewer in the IE. The next step is to use the export function, to create a PDF Document.
Now, i would like to open a PDF Document directly, without the Crystal Report Viewer. How can i configuration that?
Thanks for help.

You could always schedule the report to PDF format, then when you clicked to view the Latest Instance, it would come up in PDF format.

Issue while exporting report in PDF using crystal report XI

Hello,
I am facing issue while exporting a report to PDF through crystal report XI. Reports are generating properly in the crystal report browser but when I am exporting the reports in PDF or trying to get print by clicking on print button, reports not generating properly.
Allignment in the exported PDF reports getting changed and reports margin is also changes. Due to this some part of report is chopped and printed on the next page.
I have deployed my application on IBM WebSphere 6.1 server and I am getting following error which might help to identify this issue.

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Issues in exporting SSRS report to PDF format in Report Server - Blank spaces are deleted

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem in exporting SSRS report to PDF format. It deletes all the blank spaces when I use bullet in a Text box and try to export to PDF formt in Report Server . For example
• Project submitted to the TRC
Result in PDF format:
• ProjectsubmittedtotheTRC
I also noted that when I try to export to PDF in Visual Stuio 2005 (Business Intelligence development studio), it does not delete any blank spaces and shows the correct aligned Data in PDF format.
Please help me as it is frustrating a lot
I would highly appreciate for your quick response

Was there ever a solution found for this as i have the same issue.
When bullet point is entered in a field all the spaces are removed when exported to PDF
i tried exporting to excel and it does not remove spaces, however this is no use to me as it needs to be in PDF
Using IE 7 (Don't think the browser has anything to do with it as this happened via a subscription)
Didn't know SSRS had specific Service Packs, i though they came as patches to SQL Server (SQL Server is on Service Pack 3)
This should be easy to replicate all you need to do is copy text containing a bullet point into a sql server database field and then add this field to a report export to pdf and the spaces are gone
Thanks in advance,
Mark Brunton

Can I create report in anyway without using reporting studio client

Hi All,
I am using hyperion 11.1.1.1.0.0.
I am creating reports from hyperion reporting and anlysis.
I want to know, is there anyway of creating reports from workspace?
If not then how can I create reports without accessing report studio client.
Thanks

In 9.3.1 (at least) you have to use the FR Studio, I'm pretty sure it's the same in 11.
What happens in the workspace if you select from the Hyperion/Oracle menu:
File/New/Document
In 9.3.1 there are options for:
- Interactive Reporting
- Web Analysis
- Report Books
- Batches

Reports attachement pdf printing after report printing

Oracle : 9.2.0.6
forms 6.0.8 reports
os : linux :
I have a peculear requirement for the inhouse application.
I generate a standard Purchase order report with normal requirements using d2k reports. This report is being printed as soon as the transaction commits and goes to the printer.
The Purchase order comes in 2 pages dependsing on the items and terms and conditions.
I have a standard Pdf doc comp_prof.pdf (which changes regular intervals conists of various comp. info and not related any database activity).
Currently this information is being printed manually after the Purchaae order is being printed.
I tried to incorporated in after report trigger. I was not succesful.
Pl. help what are the various options I have to solve this.
If I convert a PO to mail this doc also should go.

the pdf need to print is not from oracle d2k report. That is pdf is a particular location. The pdf is not getting generated form oracle or any d2k component.
It is a standard any pdf doc consists of 3 page information.

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

Export Arabic Crystal Report To PDF

Hi,
I am using JRC component to build crystal reports in English & Arabic. All works well except exporting Arabic crystal report to PDF?
Crystal File Format Schema: 12.0.0
I was reading another 3 years old thread and this was stated there:
"If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe" Any from SAP can you please confirm that does this still hold true? And are there any chances or plan to add support in future?
Regards
SC

Please disregard that part of the previous message.
As mentioned earlier, it depends on which of our products you are using to export the report. If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe.
If you are using the Crystal Reports designer or BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK to export the report, you will need to ensure you have the character set installed on the same machine; for BOE SDK it needs to be on the machine with all of the services.

Exporting to PDF in Crystal XI

After exporting a report to PDF in Crystal XI multiple text objects in the PDF are grouped together and appear as one block (one text object) and therefore cannot be moved, removed(deleted) or edited SEPARATLY using the Touch-Up Tool. Exporting same reports in Crystal 8.5 using 8.5 export dll (crxf_pdf.dll) works perfectly fine. All objects get exported separately and therefore can be manipulated in PDF.

CA Forum: Exporting
For everyone else that is having this problem...
Still have no response from Business Objects regarding this problem. I demoed software called Visual Cut to use for bursting pdf documents. I went back this morning and looked at it again and it solves the issue. The Visual Cut software allows for exporting rpt files to pdf and the output is exactly the same as the rpt. We have not yet purchased the software, but are planning now on buying it soon. So I can't offer much advice in terms of using the software on a day to day basis, but in the tests that I've done, it solves the export issue and works great in sending pages from a pdf to different printer trays. I also needed support during my testing and the response in three separate instances was less than ten minutes each time.
I still wish Business Objects would step up and fix the problem. If it was a problem in 8.5 and 10.0 - they released a hotfix for 10.0. Then why was it still a problem in 11 (and then no hot fix was provided that I could find) and it is STILL a problem in CR 2008!

Exporting Crystal Report to pdf

Hi,
We have a crystal report that is stored in Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1. The requirement is to connect to the Enterprise and export the report as pdf in .NET web page. I see a lot of RAS samples. But we are required to use the Business Objects Enterprise sdk dlls for this purpose.
Can somebody provide me a sample for this.
Thanks
Irene

Hi Adam,
Yes I am trying to use the Page Server option of RAS to open the report. That is only one working due to firewall restrictions.
But I was trying to set the report parameters in the report Object and assumed that it should be reflected when opening the report. But that does not seem to work. So now what I did is, I tried to set the report source to report viewer control and change the parameters through code.
        boEnterpriseService = boEnterpriseSession.GetService("PSReportFactory");
        boReportAppFactory = (PSReportFactory)boEnterpriseService.Interface;
        ISCRReportSource objRep = boReportAppFactory.OpenReportSource(boInfoObject.ID);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = objRep;
        CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterFields objFields = CrystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo;
        CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue objDis = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue();
        objDis.Value = "Product Category";
        objFields[0].CurrentValues.Clear();
        objFields[0].CurrentValues.Add(objDis);
        CrystalReportViewer1.ShowFirstPage();
So the report shown in the viewer is opened with the parameters specified. But now I have the problem of exporting. I need to export this report with the parameters specified in code to pdf.
What are the options. I tried using the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument so I can do the export but am getting Communication Failure:FWM 0001.
Is there any way of directly exporting the report from the viewer without user intervention ?
Thanks
Irene

Without Crystal Report on SAP Form yet

Hi experts!
I follow this thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3500063 I wonder if someone has solved this issue I've tried many different ways without success.
Summarizing: When you try to assign a report document or a CRAXDDRT Report to a crystal report viewer on a SAP B1 form like is showed below you get an exception "Specified cast not available"
   ' on Next line exception raised "Specified cast not available"
            RepViewer.ReportSource = cryRpt
I also tryed to create a crystal decisions windows form crystal report viewer, get the report source an assign it to the report viewer but I get the same error (oRpt is a report document which is loaded previously)
     Dim oCRForm As New CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer
     oCRForm.ReportSource = oRpt
     RepViewer.ReportSource = oCRForm.ReportSource
If I set the path directly I get the same error
     Dim sRptPath As String
     sRptPath = Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath() + "\Report.rpt"
     RepViewer.ReportSource = sRptPath
I'm using CrystalActiveXReportViewerLib14.CrystalActiveXReportViewer, VS2010, VB, Windows 8 Pro
Is there another way to show it on a SAP B1 form ?
Best regards.

Wow. You're mixing a number of technologies and terms, none of which really make much sense:
1) CRXDDRT is not used in an .NET apps anymore and you would not be licensed to use it anyhow.
2) You are not licensed to use the CrystalActiveXReportViewerLib14.CrystalActiveXReportViewer.
3) You are using the Crystal Reports Assemblies for .NET (not craxddrt...).
4) You are using Crystal Reports for B1.
To use CR in a .NET application, you must use the CR viewer for .NET. Any additional queries should be posted to the SAP B1 forum:
