CSV and PDF export in interactive report

Hello all,
how can I make some of my columns which are visible in the report, not visible in the CSV and PDF exports. And how can I customize the width of the PDF export columns. In the normal reports it is possible in the print report settings but here I don't see such option.
Regards!

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

Problem with PDF generation from Interactive Report

Greetings,
I created an interactive report and chose CSV and PDF download options. I am able to create CSV but when I try to download a PDF it says that that acrobat reader cannot open the created pdf file. I am not sure what I should do to make it work. Please help.

Hey there,
That happened to me when I had an & sign in the page title name. If you have some weird symbols in the page title, try changing them. Then it will work.
PS
Make sure in the title name and page name there are no weird symbols.

Lightroom 5 book module trims pixels on JPEG and PDF export

I'm making a 12x12" book and want to export at 250dpi. I'm expecting my pages to be square and exactly 3000x3000 pixles. When I export to JPEG or PDF the pages are not square and JPEGs are 2968 x 3000.
I've seen the same question asked regarding LR4. It appears to not have been fixed or addressed in LR5.
I'm not using Blurb to create books which I understand is the publisher that requires these odd sized pages and why LR exports pages this way. Oddly, there is a special export for Blurb books; I wouldn't think that the generic JPEG and PDF exports should follow the Blurb standard. Idealy, I want my JPEG exports to be two-page spreads at 6000 x 3000 pixels. I can stitch together two pages in Photoshop easily enough, but not if the pages are not the correct size to begin with.
For now, I'll use LR5 to mock up a book and then re-create the whole thing manually in PS, which is really sad and such a waste of time given that LR is so close to being able to export exactly what I want.
Would love to see this fixed in an update soon.

These are both bugs that have been fixed since the LR4 beta. Thanks for bringing them up, though.

Download csv and pdf in interactive report

Hi,
I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged. Also when i download in csv format the report does not strip html tag from the data in the report. Interactive report does not seem to have the html strip option unlike in classic reports.
Thanks & Regards,
Nisha

Hi,
did you read the pdf inside an text editor. If you do, you'll surely notice an sql error or a java error.
I discovered for myself that the PDF reports aren't working anymore if I have 19 or over columns. The text buffer used by APEX went overflow.
Im seraching for a solution, but I haven't found one yet, except then reducing the number columns.

Error in exporting from Interactive Report to PDF format

Hello,
i am using APEX and from an Interactive Report i am trying to export using Download | PDF format. The table and corresponding report has only text fields. Database character set is UTF-8. Up to now i haven't been able to get a PDF file that can be open from Adobe Acrobat Reader. Every file fails opening with message like "Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf, because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This happens for every report i have tried up to now. If i export report in CSV format all are ok.
Is there a known bug with PDF download of APEX?
TIA

See this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
FOP & Cocoon are free (just need to install the software and configure) Bi Publisher I believe works only for Standard Reports and no Interactive reports at this time.. If you have the $$ BI Publisher is worth the investment!!
Also, it is rumored that APEX 4.0 will have the PDF generation built in as apposed to the current model where you need to bolt something on..
Thank you,

ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

Hi Apex team,
yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
Regards,
Jens
Edited by: j.gauger on 06.02.2013 14:10
Additional Information
The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Csv and pdf download not support

Hello,
When I try to download the following report to PDF output using the interactive report, I receive this error:
"Acrobat Reader could not open 'Report[1].pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as a email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
And CSV output.. I cant get correct font Example
The result I want get is: "Trung cấp nghề"
The result I get in fact is :"Trung c¿p ngh¿"
I write vietnamese(utf-8).
Help me!!!
Thanks

I am not sure how you have set up your PDF printing but I received the same error and depending on the type of report, I had to assign column aliases in the SQL for the PDF to open properly. The thread I posted is:

Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

Hi,
I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramamuni.

Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
2) Open your command prompt .
Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
then type build war
3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
level of webapps directory.
4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
& to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
\cocoon.
7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
- Print Serverr: Standard Support
- Print Server Protocol: HTTP
- Print Server Host Address:localhost
- Print Server Port: 8181
- Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
- Enable Report Printing: Yes
- Link Label: Print
- Response Header: Report Settings
- View File As: Attachment
- Output Format: PDF
- Report Layout: Default Report Layout
- Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
I am sure this will help you

The gallery widget and PDF export etc

Hi all,
I'm new to iBA so I have a lot of questions but I start with only two of them.
I made a Photo portfolio type of iBook, using mainly the gallery widget after the intro chapters.
Q1. Well, took some time to put it all together but now I'm close to finnish it, so I thought I had to preview how it looked as a PDF, and exported it.
Quite surpricing that only the the first image on all pages with the gallery widget was present? Is that how it should be?
I who thought the gallery widget navigations "buttons" would be converted to a link to the next image and that should get links for previous and next image and so fort, nutbut it didnt :-/
Ok I can make pages for all images, but 700-800 pages for just them doesn't seem smooth IMHO :-)
Q2. The gallery widget doesnt seem very flexable to handle both landscape and portright images att the same time, so I ended up making 2 pages for each gallery, one for landscape and one for portright mode images. What am I missing here?
Wishlist for iBA:
1. Make the gallery widget work for PDF export.
2. Make the gallery widget flexible to auto-handle landscape and portraight images. (In runtime, in landskape mode of the iPad, the landscape images are shown as much as possible, and the portright ones fit in hight with perhaps a lightgray (customable?) background on the sides, and vise versa when held in portright mode.)
/Cekari

1.) Widgets by design require a way to interact - PDFs are just 'readable', so naturally the interaction can't be used and the first image is akin to a placeholder showing where the widget is laid out. In iBA's case, I think the PDF is most useful for proofing, demo, etc. - if a valid preview is desired, either publish as preview (still limited for some examples) or share as an .ibooks file via iTunes.
2.) Layout your widgets in landscape, edit content in portrait and of course test in both. In those cases where you need a bit more control, bifurcate.
Thanks for your wishlist: As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

APEX 3.0: Region caching and PDF Export

Hi,
there was some comment in the APEX 3.0 Feedback Application that if a region has activated the new "Caching" settings, the Flash Chart data, PDF Export and CSV Export get also cached.
That seems to work fine for the Flash Charts, they display the cached data, but the new PDF Export and the CVS Export always requery the data.
Patrick
Check out my APEX-blog: http://inside-apex.blogspot.com
Check out the ApexLib Framework: http://apexlib.sourceforge.net

Hi Patrick,
That is correct, PDF and CSV exports are not cached. I don't know why this was stated differently in the feedback application.

Keynote and PDF Export

Exporting Keynote presentation in PDF via email is a great feature that has been awaited by potential business users.
However, PDF exports from ipad do not seems to be supported by acrobat especially on PCs/windows system. Font conversion seems corrupted and text appears with bullets.
Any hint on how to send keynote presentation converted in pdf properly ?
Many thx

I also ran into a bug with PDF export today. The PDF displayed properly on my mac, but when viewed on other laptops (and when uploaded to Scribd), the text was missing. :/
Workaround was to export the keynote file to my mac, then use the desktop keynote app to re-export as PDF.

Bounding box and pdf export

Hi all,
I'm using Illustrator CS4 and I have interest in the bounding box of a figure when I export it as a pdf. I'm using the crop area tool (also called ArtBoard, ToolShift+O) to set-up by hand the bounding box and then export the figure as a pdf. The problem is that I can observe spurious small white margins in the exported pdf. It seems that the bounding box is not perfectly set-up. Are you aware of this problem? Is there a work-around?
Thank you

I don't think there is per se any problem nor is AI doing anything wrong. Sounds like your bog standard antialiasing/ transparency blending, if elements are not placed and shaped in such a way that their rasterized output perfectly coincides with whole pixels plus the usual issues with trapping, overprint etc., which Acrobat will obey based on its own settings and the properties defined in your AI document and which particularly become relevant if blending modes, partial opacity and raster effects are involved. You need to look into those things more than anything else and find the right combination of settings...
