Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output
I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.
You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

Changing font in Oracle Report in PDF output
Hi,
I have created reports using dev10g(report builder). I can run report from client side in pdf format but I want to change the font (i.e from courier to Arial narrow).
How can I do this?
Is there anyone who can help me?
my unifont.ali file is:

# DESCRIPTION:
# Each line is of the form:
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet> = \
# <Face>.<Size>.<Style>.<Weight>.<Width>.<CharSet>
# The <Face> must be the name (string/identifier) of a font face. The
# <Style>, <Weight>, <Width>, and <CharSet> may either be a numeric
# value or a predefined identifier/string. For example, both US7ASCII
# and 1 are valid <CharSet> values, and refer to the same character set.
# The <Size> dimension must be an explicit size, in points.
# The following is a list of recognized names and their numeric
# equivalents:
# Styles Numeric value
# Plain 0
# Italic 1
# Oblique 2
# Underline 4
# Outline 8
# Shadow 16
# Inverted 32
# Overstrike 64
# Blink 128
# Weights Numeric value
# Ultralight 1
# Extralight 2
# Light 3
# Demilight 4
# Medium 5
# Demibold 6
# Bold 7
# Extrabold 8
# Ultrabold 9
# Widths Numeric value
# Ultradense 1
# Extradense 2
# Dense 3
# Semidense 4
# Normal 5
# Semiexpand 6
# Expand 7
# Extraexpand 8
# Ultraexpand 9
# Styles may be combined; you can use plus ("+") to delimit parts of a
# style. For example,
# Arial..Italic+Overstrike = Helvetica.12.Italic.Bold
# are equivalent, and either one will map any Arial that has both Italic
# and Overstrike styles to a 12-point, bold, italic Helvetica font.
# All strings are case-insensitive in mapping. Font faces are likely to
# be case-sensitive on lookup, depending on the platform and surface, so
# care should be taken with names used on the right-hand side; but they
# will be mapped case-insensitively.
# See your platform documentation for a list of all supported character
# sets, and available fonts.
# BUGS:
# o Should accept a RHS ratio (e.g., "Helv = Arial.2/3").

[ PDF:Embed ]
# This example shows how to embed Type 1 helvetica font into the PDF file:
# helvetica = "helvetica.afm helvetica.pfa"
# You need to specify the .afm file before the .pfa file.
# The font files must exist in one of the folders specified in REPORTS_PATH.
[ PDF:Subset ]
"arial narrow" = "Arialn.ttf"
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file:
# helvetica = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
# Subsetting TrueType Collection fonts:
# Typically, a TTC font contains several fonts in one file. For example,
# the TTC file, msgothic.ttc consists of three fonts in the order -
# MS Gothic, MS PGothic and MS UI Gothic. To subset MS PGothic, the
# entry in the PDF:Subset section of uifont.ali would be:
# "MS PGothic" = "msgothic.ttc,1"
# NOTES ON PRECEDENCE OF PDF SECTIONS:
# If you have entries for a same font in many PDF sections, then Font
# Aliasing entry will take precedence over Font Subsetting entry. Entries
# in Font Subsetting will take precedence over the entries in Font Embedding
# section.
# Generic entries for a font must follow more specific entries for the same
# font. For instance, if you want to subset helvetica Plain, helvetica Bold,
# helvetica Italic and helvetica Bold-Italic fonts, your entries must be:
# [ PDF:Subset ]
# helvetica..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
# helvetica...Bold.. = "Arialb.ttf"
# helvetica..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
# helvetica..... = "Arial.ttf"
# If helvetica..... entry appears in the top of the list, all the styles of
# helvetica font in the layout will be subset as helvetica Plain font.

Hi everyone ,
We are using Oracle 11g.
I have a custom Oracle report in PDF output. In some cases the value is changed. For example, when i run a query in toad i get a value 0.13, then I run my report, check the XML output - the value is still 0.13....but when I check the report output that is in the PDF format, the value is changed to 0.14. Do you have any ideas why it happens? Do I need a special coad in the rtf tag?
Thank youWhat command did you type in to run your report in Unix? Did you give the full path of your rdf file. I guess that the system may not be find your rdf file correctly.

Hi all,
Anybody currently running Oracle Reports in unix platform and the output is generated in pdf format & display in browser?
Can you please advise on what are all the environment variables that I have to set in order to get the report runs?
Besides, what are the specific printer setting that I have to set? as well as priviledge on directory if necessary.
My reports are created in PC with RDF format. When run in unix, can the RDF still be used or it has been to recompile? If recompile, how is this done?
I always get the following error but do not what is the cause:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'myreport.rdf'. REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document. REP-0110: Unable to open file 'myreport.rdf'.
Please advise.
Hope to receive your reply asap.

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character
Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
ThanksIf the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes

I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob
Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers
KHi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.
This here may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

How to Change Fonts in Oracle Reports
Hi All,
When ever i am changing fonts in my report it reflects me when i run them on reports builder installed on my local machine.
But when i put them on application server, these changes are not reflected. I am generating PDF reports.
Can some body help me what should i need to do to reflect the font changes.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
KamalHi Kamal,
Whether the font used in the report is installed in the machine where Apps server is installed? If not , use the feature ' PDF Aliasing' to substitue for that particular font.
For more information on this, have a look at the chapter "Managing Fonts in Oracle Reports" in Publishing Reports Manual. You can download it from http://download.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B14048_01.pdf.
Thanks,

Please advise?

DaveHi,
Perhaps it is not clear about what are the invalid characters its is showing.....is it showing asterisks.....Well if it does show anything like that then all u have to do is go and change the dimensions of the particular field in which it is showing such characters.......i mean u r to change the rdf file in Reports Builder.....and try changing the length and width by dragging the edges of the particular field and then save it and after that convert it into .xml and .rep files and then run it. -
