Export Arabic Crystal Report To PDF

Hi,
I am using JRC component to build crystal reports in English & Arabic. All works well except exporting Arabic crystal report to PDF?
Crystal File Format Schema: 12.0.0
I was reading another 3 years old thread and this was stated there:
"If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe" Any from SAP can you please confirm that does this still hold true? And are there any chances or plan to add support in future?
Regards
SC

Please disregard that part of the previous message.
As mentioned earlier, it depends on which of our products you are using to export the report. If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe.
If you are using the Crystal Reports designer or BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK to export the report, you will need to ensure you have the character set installed on the same machine; for BOE SDK it needs to be on the machine with all of the services.

Exporting a crystal report as PDF and Attaching to an email via code - Filename Issuses?

Post Author: alynch
CA Forum: .NET
I need to export a crystal report as a pdf and send it out via email. I have created a subroutine that works but the attached filename come up as "untitled.txt" so the receiving machine believes it is a text file. If I rename it on the recipients machine to a ".pdf" I can open it with acrobat and it looks OK. Does anyone know how to rename the file as a pdf prior to sending it out?
Thank You.

I have included a copy of the subroutine:
Dim repdoc As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
Dim diskOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim ExpOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions
Dim MailOpts As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.MicrosoftMailDestinationOptions()
repdoc = Me.CrystalReport11
repdoc.Load("C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\WindowsApplication3\WindowsApplication3\CrystalReport1.rpt")
ExpOpts = repdoc.ExportOptions
With ExpOpts
.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.MicrosoftMail
.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
End With
With MailOpts
.MailMessage = "Message"

RTF inccorect text when I export my Crystal Report to PDF

Hello,
I'm facing a quite unusual problem.
I've developped a VB.NET 2008 application for my customer that creates Crystal Reports from manually-entered text.
There's a part where the user can enter RTF text in a RichTextBox control, or import from a RTF File.
Here's what I do :
I'm typing a three-lines example in Word 2007 and save it in RTF.
Then I import it in my application into the RichTextBox.
When I display the report, everything looks fine, but when I export it to PDF, "i" letters are inserted after each "t" letter.
It looks like it appears only after a "bold"-ed text. Here's and example: [http://screencast.com/t/31t4X86XBs3]
I'm using CrystalReports Editor Included in Visual Studio 2008.
Has anyone already encoutered that issue ?
Regards,
Guillaume

See [this|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=29094456&messageID=7206473] forum thread for possible clues to a resolution. In a nut shell, as long as the Calibri font is up to date, the other two steps are;
1) Ensure you are using the latest Service Pack as suggested by Jonathan
2) See what USP10.dll is loading (use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility)
Also, if this is a win app, compile it to an exe and run the exe to see if the issue persists. (when running the app exe, the USP10 loaded should be from the CR bin directory. when running ion the .NET environment, the USP10 will load from win\system or other)

Exporting a crystal report to PDF through web server makes fonts smaller

Hi, I've investigated this issue and found information on the registry keys, and this has fixed crystal designer - so I can load a report, export to PDF and it looks normal. However, when compiling reports through our web-app, the fonts are still small. I've placed keys in both the Business Objects and Crystal Decisions folders on both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but it doesn't seem to affect the re-distributable at all. Anyone know how I can overcome this?

Hi
Please update the thread with the following information:
1. Platform for web application development.
2. Version of crystal reports (for e.g 11.5.8.826,11.0.0.896)
Thanks

Export Crystal Report to PDF

Hi,
in my Crystal Report (2008) is a chart, designed with Xcelsius 2008. The report is displayed well. When I export my Flash-Chart from Xcelsius to PDF the chart is displayed correctly in PDF document.
When I export the Crystal Report to PDF my Flash-Chart is displayed completley grey in PDF document. There is the same issue when I schedule my Crystal Report to PDF on BO Edge-Server.
Is this a known issue and can be fixed?

I am bringing this subject back up because I am still having problems with this. I am using CR 2008, Xcelsius 2008 and Edge 3.1 Enterprise Server along with a Visual Basic 2005 program. I have Adobe Reader 9 loaded on both my local machine and the server where Edge is installed.
I have a report that is passing flash variables to an embedded .swf file which is a pretty simple horizontal stacked bar chart. When I view this report in CR on my local machine everything on the report is correct and I can print it to PDF and it is correct when I view it with Adobe Reader. I can also print the report to a printer and get the desired result which is the most important thing here.
My next step is saving the report to the Enterprise server. I then run my Winform Visual Basic program that passes the paramters to the report and schedules it to run on the server. The report runs fine and we access it with InfoView. Again the report looks fine because when we open it, it opens with Adobe Reader on the server. The problem is when we try to print this instance of the report from the server the chart keeps doubling up the stacked bars so there are two of them instead of the one.
Does anybody have any ideas????
Thank you in advance.

many thank's

Hi Ludek
Thank you for your response. I have installed SP3 and ProcMon and still the same result.
I applied a filter on ProcMon to filter out items where the path contains 'export'.
There are a few items where the result is 'NAME NOT FOUND' but I don't think it necessarly had anything to do with the barcode. These include items such as 'EXPORT\MailDestType','EXPORT\DisableExportLiveOfficeSupport'','EXPORT\ExportDirectory' to name a few.
What drew my attention was the ACCESS DENIED result on specifically the EXPORT\PDF folders. The detail for these are Desired Access : All access, however the very same entry appears a little futher on as a SUCCESS but this is detailed as Desired Access: Query Value.
So in summary it looks something like this:
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : ACCESS DENIED
Desired Access : All Access
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : SUCCESS
Desired Access : Query Value
There are a few other entries that follow this pattern that exists in other locations such as HKLM\Software...
Could this 'ACCESS DENIED' be the problem? and If so how do I, and should I give user XXX this ALL Access its looking for.

Converting a crystal report to pdf and then opening the pdf automatically

I am successfully exporting a crystal report to a pdf file using code in vb.net 2008 in a windows application.   The crystal report is open in the viewer control and the user presses a button to export it.
I create a variable with the report name and the location.. All works correctly. However, I want the pdf to be open once it is saved which I believe is the case when you create the pdf using the build in crystal export control. But I am not using that.
I presume I could call another form and use the adobe com control, but i prefer to do this in one place.
How can I accomplish this.
Thanks
smHaig

How about if I filter the open dialog box using the pdf name and folder. Then that one would be the only one open in the dialog box and if the user selects it, it would open. Have not tested yet, but this popped into my mind.   Seems better than a button on the form with the crystal view to open another form . Or I could have the adobe com object over laying the cr viewer and just make it visible if they press a button to open the abode file..
Maybe people have tried this and could comment on the better choice to view the pdf
1. call another form that contains the adobe com
2. place the adobe control over the cr viewer and make visible if user requests to see pdf.
3. use a filtered open dialog box.

Unable to display Crystal Reports 2008 PDF output on smart phones

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but here goes. I am just finishing a large ASP.NET web app which makes extensive use of Crystal Reports 2008 and a CrystalReportViewer control. My users routinely e-mail the reports in PDF format. This works great, except now they tell me that when the recipient of the e-mail tries to open the PDF on an iPhone or Blackberry, it will not open. The PDF's open fine on desktop computers.
Here is the code which generates the PDF and attaches it to the e-mail msg.
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to make these PDF's visible to smart phones?
Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
What happens if you export from Crystal Reports designer?
I just tried if and BlackBerry tells me I am about to download a file that cannot be viewed on the phone. It doesn't say why though.
Going through the Platforms file it doesn't mention smart phones so it would indicate we don't support them in that format.
HTML worked but not pretty. You'll have to see what Blackberry does support. I found this one kbase article from them:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11245&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=206744335&stateId=1%200%20206742756
I'm testing more but I believe this is a blackberry limit and not CR.
Seems they do support it but very limited.
Thank you
Don

Exporting 'drillable' Crystal Reports

I have produced some 'drillable' Crystal Reports that I can export as Crystal Reports.
We would like to distribute these reports to wide audience so I've looked at exporting these as PDF but when I do the report is no longer 'drillable', is there a way around this?
I believe that there is a free Crystal Reports viewer that we could distribute to those receivieng this report but is this the best option for handling this if we need to export and distribute this report as a Crystal Report?

You can use Crystal Reports Server - or Enterprise to distribute the reports but exporting to other formats does not mean that those applications automatically inherit Crystal functionality (drill-down for example).
As for 3rd party tools that would be up to you to research.

Invalid export DLL or export format when export with Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
     We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
Development environment:
.Net 2008
Crystal report 2008
SQL Server 2008
+Server Environment:+
IIS7.0 in Classical mode
Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
    We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
    Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
Thanks

Hello,
Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
Thank you
Don

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
