Display report in PDF w/o save

Hi,
I want to display Report on xmii browser without saving , I tried PDF action but it is giving error when calling url "File doesn't begin with %PDF-". When using image saver for saving file it saved on given path successfully.
I also used isBinary=true in url paremeter, which I found in forum for one of the reason of this error but still it didn't work.
Steps I am following for test case:
1. Create PDF document action block
2. Create PDF page action block - link to pdf document
3. Craete PDF text action block with some value - link to pdf document
4. Assign output parameter of PDF document action to BLS transaction output of type string.
5. call url:
http://servername/Lighthammer/Runner?Transaction=TestBLS/TestPDF&OutputParameter=Output&isBinary=true&Content-type=application/pdf
Please advise if I am missing something, I am using xMII 11.5.
Thanks and Regards,
Alok

Muzammil - Indeed Runner works with 11.5 too and its the Key to trigger a BLS trx via URL.
You can use Illuminator to execute Query templates so on via URL.
Alok - Your URL looks good but still if you are getting same error "%PDF" then check whether you are providing exact Output parameter you have mapped in BLS trx.
Also you can refer to below few threads on the same issue.
[Thread1|Displaying PDF files created with BLS in xMII 12]
[Thread2|Creating PDF]
[Thread3|Stream a PDF using Runner ?]
Hope this helps!!

After generating report in PDF in browser, save on client machine in diff.format

I want to display my report in the Web Browser (using Servlets), in PDF format.
Now, the user should be given the option to save this report onto his machine as a local file in a format of his choice (HTML, RTF, PDF, Excel). How can I do this?
null

Hello,
These formats are very different. You can only do this by re-running the report. You could put hyperlinks in the source PDF file that pass on the same command line arguments that were used to run the PDF report, except that DESFORMAT would be changed to another format (HTML, RTF, DELIMITED).

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the
report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.

Prasad.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

Displaying report in PDF with Zoom level at 100%

Hi,
I am using ReportDocument.ExportToHttpResponse() to export the desired reports to the PDF format. The report is being displayed on the screen immediately. I want to show the report at 100% zoom level every time the user export the report. My existing code segment for this purpose as follows:
                ExportOptions exportOpts = new ExportOptions();
                PdfFormatOptions pdfOpts = ExportOptions.CreatePdfFormatOptions();
                pdfOpts.UsePageRange = true;
                pdfOpts.FirstPageNumber = 2;
                pdfOpts.LastPageNumber = Int32.MaxValue;
                exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
                exportOpts.ExportFormatOptions = pdfOpts;
                rptDoc.ExportToHttpResponse(exportOpts, Response, false, "");
tried to find out any related setting in PdfFormatOptions object but to no avail. Please suggest any possible option to force the viewer to open the report at 100%.

Ali

Hi Ali,
Please refer to the 'Rules of Engagement' alwas provide enough information.
- Version of Crystal Reports with detail patch level.
- Version of Visual Studio
- Do you see the same behaviour when the report is exported from CR viewer export button?
- Try using [ExportToStream|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333533383337%7D.do]
rd.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:

See if it reproduces the issue.

Save the report in PDF format on the server: is it possible?

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:

2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user

Save SSRS Report as .PDF in Client Machine

Hi,
I am working on a SharePoint 2010 Visual WebPart, the saves a SSRS report as pdf on a button click. The code is mentioned below:
HttpWebRequest Req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(URL);
Req.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
Req.PreAuthenticate = true;
Req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)Req.GetResponse();
Req.Method = "GET";
//Specify the path for saving.
string path = @"C:\test\" + quoteID + @".pdf";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
Stream stream = objResponse.GetResponseStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len = stream.Read(buf, 0, 1024);
while (len > 0)
fs.Write(buf, 0, len);
len = stream.Read(buf, 0, 1024);
fs.Close();
stream.Close();
The code works great, however, when the user clicks the button the file is getting saved directly in the main server when the WebPart is deployed. So, now I want the user to be able to select the location in there system to save the file. How
to enable the "Open save file dialog" and let the user select the location. can someone help me with this ?
thanks.
Regards, Vikram

You can use below snippet.
string strURL=path;
  WebClient req=new WebClient();
  HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
  response.Clear();
  response.ClearContent();
  response.ClearHeaders();
  response.Buffer= true;
  response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + Server.MapPath(strURL) + "\"");
  byte[] data=req.DownloadData(Server.MapPath(strURL));
  response.BinaryWrite(data);
  response.End();

Not able to save deski report as PDF through infoview

Hi,
when I try to save a deski report as PDF through infoview error appears as:
Your request could not be completed because a failure occurred while the report was being processed. Please contact business administrator.[RCIRAS0546] (Error: INF)
we are using BOXI 3.1/ SP2.
Please let me know the possible solution for this.
Thanks
DLN

Are you migrated from earlier version to 3.1.
YES,
here you go,
Have a back door way to fix the problem...
We were having the same issue with DeskI documents while upgrading from XIR2 to XIR3.
It's tied to documents that are set to Refresh on open
If you import the report, set it to "not" refresh then publish it, test it and it should run fine. Once you get it working correctly you can republish the report again and turn the "Refresh on Open" back on.
It should work fine from that point on.
Thank You!!

Save SSRS Report as pdf using Reporting Services

I've been trying to convert a SSRS Report to PDF and save to
my local drive using the Reporting Web Services. Though I'm able to
generate the corresponding pdf file but the contents of the file are
missing. I've checked that the report I'm trying to convert is not an
empty one. Only the header section is present there within the generated
pdf files. Below is the code I'm using:

Save webi report as pdf programmatically

Does anyone has any SDK code sample or can point me to the location of code sample on how to save a webi report as PDF file programmatically? Also, is the ReportEngineSDK is sufficient for this task or I need some other SDK?
We are running XIr2 SP1 on Windows Server 2003, with Tomcat as web container.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I think Using ReportEngine SDK you would not be able to save the webi report in PDF format.However it could be possible if you schedule a webi report to PDF format to unmanaged disk.
You can refer the following tutorials given in developer library's BusinessObjects Enterprise SDKs. You can either use .NET or Java SDKs.
How to schedule a report to a destination (FTP, SMTP, Disk, Printer, Inbox)
How to schedule and view Web Intelligence documents
Here is the link for developer library:

I do not have InDesign so I can't help you there.
Here is an article from Adobe:
http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/exporting-publishing-pdf.html
Export an open document to PDF for printing
Choose File > Export.
Specify a name and location for the file.
For Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS), choose Adobe PDF (Print), and then click Save.
When you select the Adobe PDF (Print) option, you cannot include interactive elements in the PDF. To export an interactive document to PDF, see Create interactive documents for PDF.
Do one of the following:
To use a predefined set of job options, choose a preset from the Adobe PDF Preset menu.To create a PDF/X file, either choose a PDF/X preset from the Adobe PDF Preset menu, or choose a predefined PDF/X format from the Standard menu.To customize options, select a category from the list on the left and then set the options.
For Compatibility, choose the lowest PDF version necessary to open the files you create.
Click Export (Windows) or Save (Mac OS).
To reset options to the default, in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click Reset. (The Cancel button changes to Reset.)

Display report on the web in pdf format

I am attempting to display a report in pdf format where I have passed parameters to it and it doesn't work.
We are using Oracle Reports 6i.
If I use the following CGIcmd line
a: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?a+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This report is displayed in HTML format.
For the following test I only changed the format from HTML to pdf.
The CGIcmd line became
b: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?b+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
In this instance there is no report but there is a 'broken image' icon displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. There are no error messages.
This is the preferred method.
As a test I also tried allowing the parameterer form with both HTML and pdf reports.
The CGIcmd line was set to
ax: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This displayed the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in HTML format.
When I use the following CGIcmd line
bx: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
As before, this displays the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in pdf format.
The only problem is where we are attempting to use the URL to go directly to the report in pdf format.
Thanking you in advance of any help
Michael Redford

Hello ,
You can try out the following
1. Click on the Report name and bring up the property palette to show all of the properties for the whole report.
2. Under Report Escapes->Before Form Value, change form method from POST to GET .
