Customizing graphs in PDF outputs

Hi All,
I am building an RTF template which will be uploaded to Apex v3.0 This template includes a graph - a 3D pie.
I am using the BI Publish plugin to build the template.
Apart from choosing the "style" of the graph, is there any other way I can customize the given graph (change size of fonts, colours, etc)?
Many thanks for any pointers in the right direction!
Pawel.

Pawel,
Could you please post this question on the XML / Publisher forum? The people over there know much more about the Word plug-in and to what extend you can customize graphs, etc:
BI Publisher
Thanks,
Marc

  • CS6 PDF Output - Custom Template?

    I recently installed the windows version of CS6 Bridge.  I would like to create a custom template for pdf output.  However there is no "Custom" box in Template drop down box and the new template and recycle bin icons do not function.  What do I need to create and save custom template in Bridge pdf output?

    While the Output Module of Bridge is a good idea it is not "ready for prime time" in either of the two functional areas.
    I guess that's why they left the old-style methods available on the installation disk.

  • Urgent: Custom font style not appearing in PDF output only

    Hi,
    For a customer, I received customer specific font styles(ttf font files) which I installed on my machine and then copied those files in Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts as well as in JRE/lib/fonts. Then I created a template in word and font there appears as custom font.
    Now I am getting that font style in all output formats(rtf,ppt,excel) except the PDF output. I am using Oracle BI Publisher desktop alone. Not sure what I missed because of which text font is not changing in PDF version only. I checked the PDF properties and there also custom font is not getting mapped.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is the link that describes how to set up the font mapping for PDF output: Look for "Font Mappings (for PDF output)"

  • Report Pdf output getting Junk characters for some boiler Plate fields

    Hi All
    For Dunning Letter Report registered in Oracle Applications,made changes in Column headings like added customer number as Kunde for German Letter

    Maybe you check the NLS_LANGUAGE-settings on the client where you "edit" the reports-definition.

  • Output Post Processor is unable to generate the PDF output

    Hi,
    We are using a custom RDF to generate PDF output using a RTF template built using XML. We are facing some problem while running this XML report. The report is completing with warning because of the following reason.
    "The concurrent manager has timed out waiting for the Output Post-processor to finish this request."
    The problem is not because of the temp space because we printed a sample XML report which is having thousands of pages.
    We have tried by changing the value of the profile option "Concurrent: OPP Process Timeout" to 5000, 10000 etc. But still the issue is not resolved.
    The report is giving the output if the number of rows are less. It's failing for bulk number of rows.
    It would be greatful for us if any one of you can give ideas on these...
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Sairam
    there might be something wrong with your template,
    might be improper usage of Conditional and Looping statments,
    might be improper usage of nested tables,
    just check you template once again
    report should work for any set of data(small or large),

  • Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

    Hi All,
            I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
            Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

    Hi Bogdan,
    The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
    I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
    Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
    Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
    Available fields are Font Name and File
    --> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
    --> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
    Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
    Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
    Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
    Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
    Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
    Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
    Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
    Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
    Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
    Select your new mapping set.
    Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
    Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
    Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

    Kindly help me out in this.

    Hi Vishnu,
    I read the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM documentation, if I am trying to download binary type of file, It is mandatory to pass file size.
    In my case, since I am having PDF file, so i don't no how to get the size of the pdf file.
    As you said, if i use Convert_OTF FM, i don't have data to pass to the OTF and LINES tables.
    I am having values of PDF in xstring format in ls_output1-pdf, which i got using the below FM.
    CALL FUNCTION lv_funcname (FM name)
        EXPORTING
          /1bcdwb/docparams  = ls_docparams

    Kindly tell me what values i need to pass to the FM you mentioned in order to get the size of the file.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Karthikeyan G.
    But still I am not sure, how the pdf output is coming for single input whereas if i give in a range, its failing. In single input, i am not giving binary file size still the output is coming.. but for range its not. Kindly help me out in this.

  • Problem with PDF output quality

    We recently upgraded to CS4 Suite Design premium and i am having problems getting illustrator to print high quality output.  I have a file created in illustrator which contains 300dpi tiff images created in photoshop (CMYK colorspace in both photoshop image and illustrator file)  when i print this file to pdf everything looks hi-rez except these images.  i have attempted adjusting all the obvious settings in the print dialoge box including:  Output/Printer Resolution, Graphics/Postscript level, Advanced/overprint and transparency flattener options/custom settings.  and nothing has worked.  Other things i have noted, is that in the print dialog box the only presets listed are Custom, Default and Default Web/Video/Mobile.  I have looked through the online help files and found the info on how to add "High Quality Print" to my adobe pdf presets, however it doesn't work.  furthermore i have tried the instructions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WSA79FA899-BC95-401e-BD44-5B26BC31B369.html  where it says to move the files from "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Application Support\Adobe PDF"  however there is no folder called "Application Support" on my system.  I have run out of ideas.
    The odd thing here, is that i can take the AI file into photoshop, and print a "High Quality Print" from photoshop with no problems, but i'd like to remove this step to speed up my workflow.
    I've attached both the high-quality pdf output from photoshop and the low-quality pdf output from illustrator for reference. (look closely at the logo's)

    Figured it out myself! yay!  (only took my entire moring)
    The solution:
    Dont print to PDF!
    SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
    This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

  • PDF output from payment program (trancode F110)

    We currently use 3rd party software to create PDF files of individual remittance advices from the payment run program, by passing the spool output print stream to this software, which recognises each different vendor remittance, and creates a separate file for each one.
    Due to cost restrictions, we want to no longer use the external software and want to do this all within SAP.
    I have looked at various functions available to create PDF output, and think CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF is the one to use, however, when I have tried a simple test of this FM, it creates one pdf file for the spool output, but we need to create separate PDF files for each different remittance advice, per vendor.
    Can someone suggest a way that we can do this?
    Thanks,
    Michael.
    PS. I am an ABAPer.

    Hello,
    Maybe you can start with Adobe forms in SAP, for printing the technology is free, it is quite an emerging one and there are plenty of tutorials. Maybe you can start from here: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d and create your own customer forms.
    Note there is SAP ADobe forms forum under NetWeaver and you can find me and other SAP Adobe people there.

  • PDF Output Issue

    Hi All ,
    I am facing a strange issue in PDF output format.
    When I preview PDF output i am seeing some special character like *0E-00001111232* . The actual value should be *$ 2,343,500*.
    When ever i face this issue immediately if i download and upload the same template its working fine. But after 15 days or 1 week again i am facing the same issue(On a regular interval).
    Its not only for the number data type columns also for some varchar columns.
    I checked the xml output its coming correctly , but only in preview i am facing this issue.
    BIP Version : 10.1.3.4.1.
    If any one faced with same issue please share your approach.
    Thanks,

    I guess that might be what format style i have to select for a 11" X 17" report.
    or do i have to create a custom style.
