Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes.  For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there  is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same.  Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

  • Crystal report font issue when rendered as PDF

    Hi we are experiencing an issue with custom fonts within Crystal reports.  The font is an open type font that does appear to work if the report is viewed as a crystal report, but when it is rendered or scheduled into a PDF instance it fails and gives a Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when using openDocument and scheduling gives exporter error. Any help or feedback is appreciated

    Aaron,
    OpenType is not supported for PDF at least in:

    The ADAPT indicated has been postponed.
    I canu2019t find an official statement for XI 3.1, however, there is a test you can run and itu2019s to delete the Opentype font from the server and use the same font name but TTF instead.  At least, this behaviour has been reported here:

  • Crystal Report Viewer | Issue Default Exporting to Excel

    hi,
            if any 1 of the column is empty in the report then when exported to the excel the null valued column value is printed by the next column.
    For example if i have  columns such as A,B,C and B has null values, then B is replaced by c.
    Is this a bug?
    Thanks and regards,

    Editable RTF, because of the static nature of header and footer information, has restrictions on field display mapping Crystal page numbering to Word page numbering.
    RTF export does not, since header and footer information is not placed in header and footer, but in the body itself as static text.
    Sincerely,

  • Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

    I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
    I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
    The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
    On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:

  • Formatting Issue When Exporting Podcast/Blog

    Has anyone experienced this:
    You add a blog entry or podcast entry and the new entry has nothing but a white background and text. It doesn't follow the template to the rest of the site.
    thanks!

    Gully,
    Hi. This does sound strange. Does it do this only when you publish the podcast/blog to .Mac? Or do you also see this inside iWeb when you select "add new entry"? You are using .Mac, aren't you?
    can you post your URL so that I can take a look?

  • Report Header problem when exporting as Editable RTF

    Hey i was advised to post my query to this forum. My query is this Thread My report Header shows underneath my Page Header in Crystal reports 2008 can someone help me please?

    hi Demeleo,
    i was going through old forum posts and saw this one...did this get resolved?
    Hey
    I created reports in Visual Studio 2008 with crystal reports basic, i then upgraded to Crystal reports 2008 so i could be able to export them as EditableRTF. My first problem was i could not open my reports in VS 2008 anymore, but i do open them in The CR 2008 IDE. My problem now is when i export my reports my report header appears underneath my page header and my page number stays one. I noticed this happens when i export a report as EditableRTF.How can i Export my report to be editable without having this problems?
    using cr 2008 v1 (for cr server) i was not able to reproduce this issue when exporting to RTF.
    when exporting to Word, Editable, i can see this issue. mostly because the word export has the cr page header info going into the word page header.
    as the word export is essentially an RTF export anyway, i would recommend getting the latest patches / service pack for your cr and the RTF export should be what you're looking for.

  • Acrobat 9/9.1  - Coruption when export to Word

    Hi,
    I have been using Adobe Acrobat 9 for a few months now, both in version 9 and 9.1
    I have recently been asked to utilise the export to Word feature, which from experience in version 8, has and should be a relatively painless process.
    However, to my shock, version 9.x seems to have serious issues when exporting to Word. I find my documents are heavily truncated and often crash word on the second to last page of the document.
    I have tried this in our Production environment, Test environment and on a vanilla installation of Windows 2003, to no avail.
    I have tried the 'export to HTML' option as one of the guys on the forum suggested, but breaks the formatting considerably.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    You might try extracting page groups and see if it works on the page groups separately. It may just be one page or such that is having a problem. I really have no clue, but that might be a troubleshooting approach. As far as Adobe help, welcome to the world of Adobe. That is how a lot of us got to the forums.
    Actually, for a lot of things you will find more help here than from the Adobe help anyway. There are a few things that they might be able to help on that folks here can not, but that would typically require them to consult the coding folks.

  • XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

    Hello,
    is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
    We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
    But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
    Thank you

    Hi Ruhver,
    Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting.  If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting.  When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report. 
    Try this as a test.
    1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
    2) Click on the File/Page Setup. 
    3) Select the "No Printer" option.  This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
    4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
    5) Export it to Enterprise
    6) Test this report again.  Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
    Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format.  You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
    Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message.  This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
    Hope this helps,
    Jb

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0. 
    Thread:1220516 and
    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • Faxing a Crystal Report that has been exported to a PDF

    Hi. I am having a problem trying to fax a Crystal Report that has been exported to a PDF. I am using Windows XP Pro SP3, VB.Net 2008 and the Crystal Reports that came with it. The report exports to a PDF with no problem.  Generally, I can fax a document by putting <TOFAXNUM:12481234567><NOCOVER><DELETE><FINE> at the beginning of a document and send it to my fax printer.  The fax printer requires the <embedded code> to be in a printer font rather than a true type font. I put the embedded code as a report header on the report using Courier font, but it has a problem when it converts my font. I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with converting my font before it sends it to the printer.  Is there a solution in Crystal Reports to convert the font to printer font?

    I am using Table Adapters to filter my data from multiple Sql tables and processing the data using VB.net 2008. Once I have the data, I write it to temporary tables which are the data source for my Crystal Report. The Sql queries are not part of the Crystal Report designer. Within the VB.net , I export the report to a stream in PDF format. The VB.net code is done. I'm looking for a way to fax the report without having to re write my entire code. I don't think the report can be exported thru the designer the way I have my data sources set up.

    Hi Neetu,
    Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
    I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
    I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
    customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.
    Best Regards,

  • Seeting Custom Page in Crystal Report 2008 Issue

    We were using crystal report from a long time, our application uses crystal report (version 11 & 12)  & Visual Studio (VS 2008) I am using a separate crystal report 12 not the version coming with VS 2008. and recently we upgrade our application from VS 2005 to VS 2008 and upgrade crystal report from 11 to 12, The problem is we print a report in a custom page (height 20.40 cm  , width 38.10 cm) we use a dot matrix printer Epson LQ 2090 and the page orientation is portrait  and the report prints fine In crystal report 11 without any issues, but after we upgrade to crystal report 12 we are unable to get the printout in portrait even we save the crystal report page with the custom page still it?s prints in landscape. 
    The issue is in crystal report page setup when we select landscape  the horizontal  = 38.10 cm & vertical = 20.40 cm but since I print the report portrait when I change it portrait the values change into Horizontal = 20.40 & vertical = 38.10 but that?s not needed because our printer & the page is capable of printing 38.10 cm wide and 20.40 height , I don?t understand why the values get change when we change the page orientation it didn?t happen in crystal report 11.

    Hi, Rodney;
    I believe there was a known issue in the released version of CR 2008. Install the Service Pack 0 for CR 2008, that should take care of the issue.

  • Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size

    Hi there! So I am using Lightroom 3 on a pc and I have ran into an issue when exporting images. The DPI and image size (in inches) that I am selecting during the export process. For example I just exported a collection and set the dpi to 180 and the size to 7 inches on the long edge. My exported result is 457 dpi and sized at 3200x2134 pixels.. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I can do to correct it?

    The DPI setting in a digital image has no meaning at all. You need to learn how to calculate what you need in your exported image. The only measurement in a digital image that has any meaning is the number of pixels in each direction. It doesn't matter what you set that DPI to (actually it's PPI or pixels per inch). The image will have the same number of pixels regardless of the setting. If you need an image that is 5 x 7" (for example) at 200 PPI then you would want an image that measured:
    5 x 200 = 1000 pixels
    7 x 200 = 1400 pixels
    So you would need an image that is 1000 x 1400 pixels to have a 5 x 7" image at 200 PPI. The reason your exported image had such a high PPI setting is because you specified the number of inches you wanted the image to be. And there were enough pixels in the image that it calculated out to be that high PPI setting.
    I apologize, I don't explain this very well. But you need to learn to do the math to determine how large you really want your exported images to be.

  • Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

    Hello,
    I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
    I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
    Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
    Thanks

    The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
    Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
    You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
    My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

Maybe you are looking for
