Export to MS Word: Page Header section placement

Hi,
I am somewhat new to Crystal Reports but I was hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. The problem I am having is when I export my report as "MS Word - Editable" my Page Header section ends up showing up before my Report Header section in the resulting rtf file.
More specifically, in the original report I am using the Page Header section to display the column names and the Report Header section to display the report title, etc. Thus my report format is as such:
Page 1
[Report Title]
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Page 2
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Once I export the report to an rtf file the format is changed to:
Page 1
[Column Names]
[Report Title]
[row1]
[row2]
Page 2
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Is there any way I can change the rtf export to match what the original report shows i.e. the column names displaying after the Report Title? Do I need to put the column names in a different section? Thanks very much in advance for any help.
Tom

How to control X-UA-Compatible tag in page head section?

Hello !
We are developing WebCenter Portal applications using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.
All our pages are based on ADF.
Currently, we have 2 similar projects (actually – they are two different branches of same source project).
But the have one unexpected difference - when I check html-code of generated pages in one project I see
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html class="p_AFMaximized" dir="ltr" lang="ru"><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="*IE=8.0*"><link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/portal/adf/styles/cache/portal-desktop-3kotcg-ltr-ie-8.0.css"> ...
And in another:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html class="p_AFMaximized" dir="ltr" lang="ru"><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="*IE=7.0*"><link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/portal/adf/styles/cache/portal-desktop-dkw9cq-ltr-ie-7.0.css">
We have no ideas why one generate content="IE=7.0" and another content="IE=8.0".
We compared all possible configuration files, but have not find any difference.
I've googled, but found only post by Frank Nimphius that is applicable to 11.1.1.4. As far as I understand in that version ADF didn't put meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" in page head section.
The problem is that our pages looks awfully in IE7. And we don’t have to provide IE7 compatibility.
So, my question is - why one project generate content="IE=7.0" and another – 8.0 and how to control it?
Thank you in advance,
Boris

Suppress the Page Header section on a specific Section

Hello,
I have a single page word document I want to append to the end of a report I have, so I placed it in Report Footer b. The word document fits perfectly on a single page without any header. I tried simply supressing the Page Header on the last page but because of the length of the the word document it gets cut in half, so the 2nd to last page includes a header and forces the word document onto 2 pages (one with a header and one without). I tried supressing the Page header the last and 2nd to last page, but that results in the printing of an extra page as the word document without a header only takes up one page.
Is there some way to supress a section based on what section is currently printing ie.
WhilePrintingRecords;
Section "Report Footer b"
I am open to any suggestions on how to simply add a report footer section without a page header.
Thanks

Unfortunately that also suppresses on the 1st report footer section (RFa)
I tried adding an additonal conditon
OnLastRecord AND Pagenumber >= TotalPageCount - 1
However, this results in the addition of an extra blank page, which changes the page count to 1+ what it should be. This may confuse some users.
Can I specify a specific record? How would I go about doing that?

Exporting WEBI to Excel - Dropping Header Section entirely

When I am saving a BIR2 WEBI report to Excel it drops the entire header section and just saves the detail. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Becko,
Is this XI R2 or XI 3.x ?
Also, have you tried exporting the report from different viewers. Different viewer types can be chosen from Preferences page in Infoview.
Thanks,

How include an extra image in page header section.

Hi,
I need to include a new image in the blue header section of the page. There is already one corporate branding image in that header. The requirement is to include one more image in the middle of the header section.
Any thoughts please?
Abdul Wahid

Thanks keerthi,
Though I already tested this approach. The problem with this option was that its multi linugual and the two languages are English and Arabic and both are written in opposite direction...but image remains one directional..
smiling..
In other thread (https://forums.oracle.com/message/11258546#11258546)I could bring two images in header by adding an image child and setting its css properties in controller. However, I want this controller to be available on all the pages so that it can bring the image on all the pages.Thats why I thought to attach the controller to the footer region. But I think new item inclusion using personalization is not working in standard footer.
Thanks bro..

Page Header will not underlay page footer

Hi,
Using CR12, when I mark my page header to underlay following sections, it will not underay the page footer. In fact, if the sections overlap it tells me that the page header + the page footer are too big for the page. Is the a bug or a feature? What's the work around?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
When you use the Underlay option, the section can underlay multiple sections with enough space to display the data. But a section cannot underlay its sister sections
A Page Header section can underlay all sections up to, but not including, the Page Footer.
I hope this helps you,
Regards,
Prashant

SQL expression field is not displayed on the page header if no records

Hello
I'm creating a quite simple report. In this report I've got a SQL expression field which returns a DateTime
I display this field on the page header section.
Everything is working fine except when my principal query doesn't return any records my SQL expression field is not displayed. It doesn't seem to be evaluated.
So, I would display this field even if my Details Section doesn't contains any record.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Can someone help me?
thanks

Hello,
I thought about creating a formula but the value I need is stored in a database.
So i created a simple SQL expression field.
SELECT CONVERT(DATE,j_1) FROM VW_STD_DATEFIXING
And this expression doesn't have any dependencies.

In the page header section of the Print Setup, can I just reference a loaded work space item. Something like: #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#Shield1inch.JPG
If so, what is the syntax to it. I know I can reference application items like &APEX_USER.

How to hide Application page header depending on REQUEST value

Hi All:
APEX 4.0
I have created an APEX application (authentication is public) using Theme 20. This application has Page Header section. Below is the body definition from "One Level Tabs" page template used for this applicaiton.

In our CRM application, we have create an iframe to show this apex application using this URL:
http://ke4000dev.xxx.com:8040/pls/apex/f?p=BIEXPRESS:1::*CRM*
As you can see the REQUEST = CRM
I need implement the following in this APEX:
If Request = 'CRM' then
hide Page header
else
show Page header
end if;
Can you suggest a solution for doing this?
Basically when this APEX application is displayed in our CRM iframe, we want to get rid of logo (part of page header) to save some space.
Thanks in advance!

Conditional Suppression Page Header

My report contains one subreport placed in RFb. The data in the subreport is unrelated to the data in the primary report, so each report requires its own set of column headers. When printed, the subreport requires at least several page. Subreports have no page header section. In my subreport the column headers are placed in the RH section of the subreport, but these headers do not show up after the first page of the subreport. In addition, the headers in the primary report appear in the subreport, though they are inappropriate.
To workaround this problem I placed the primary report headers into PHa and the subreport headers into PHb, both in the Primary report. I want to use conditional formatting (suppression) to control the appearance of these headers WhilePrintingRecords.
The objective is to suppress PHb until the SECOND page of the subreport. (The subreport has a title page, so that MUST be the first section on page 1 of the subreport). PHa is suppressed AFTER the primary report is done. The last section in the primary report is RFa (or is it? See below).
Using Basic syntax I placed the following formula into RFa of the Primary report.
'Determine last page of Primary report.
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
Formula = nLastPgSec1
However, I have found that the value of nLastPgSec1 increments by one as each page of the subreport is printed. The only way this can occur is if RFa of the primary report is evaluated with each page, even though the subreport is placed in RFb.
I know this is probably difficult to follow without a visual of the design.
Can anyone tell me how to control the conditional formatting to accomplish what I need?
Thanks,
Art

After a night's sleep I saw my problem. The solution was to set the value of nLastPgSec1 by placing it in the DETAILS section of the primary report (not a report footer). The formula is:
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
If OnLastRecord Then
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
End If
Formula = nLastPgSec1

Conditional display of headings based on drill-down page or section shown

<div>Crystal Reports 10</div><div>I have a report (originally written by someone else) with 1 drill down page.</div><div>The drill down shows section group footer 2.</div><div>I am adding a new drill down from the 1st drill down. This will show the details section.</div><div>There are headings which are displayed in the page header section.</div><div>I would like to suppress or hide these headings when the 2nd drill down page (details section) is shown.</div><div>I figured I could do it based on whether a section, or a field within a section, is displayed on the page or not.</div><div>How to accomplish this?</div>

Thanks for asking this question.Â
There is a formatting function (under the Document Properties group of functions) called GroupLevel().Â It returns what level ofÂ group you're on.Â You can use this along with the SuppressÂ conditional format to show/hide a section based on where the user is located.Â Â
This would be a great one to "show" as a sample.Â I'll add it to my task list for submissions up here.Â
Again, thanks for asking the question and start the ball rolling!

Exporting report to Word, Word editable or RTF adds page breaks

Our workforce management software (Aspect Workforce Management) uses Crystal 2008 for customer reports. Previewing, printing, and exporting to HTML, PDF, and Excel all work fine but exporting the report to Word, Word Editable, and RTF results in a document that contains extra page breaks in the middle of pages or other strange paging behavior.
With the regular Word export and the RTF export we see some pages containing the first half of the page at the top of a page followed by a break then the second half of the page on the next page at the bottom of the page. E.G., lots of empty whitespace at the bottom of a page followed by lots of empty whitespace at the top of the next page which ends with content that should have been at the bottom of the previous page.
The Word Editable export doesn't seem to insert weird page breaks but every page says 1 of N as the page number in the footer. Other export formats number the pages correctly.
Our customers are demanding a fix for this problem, which seems to be a Crystal defect. I don't understand why PDF and HTML and Excel all page correctly but not Word, Word Editable, or RTF. How hard is it to generate the export without causing extra page breaks or incorrectly numbered pages?
Is this problem acknowledged by SAP to be defect in the word, word editable, and rtf export options? Is SAP intending to fix this problem?
John Hansen

And good morning to you too John:
So, if you wrote the code your self and it is in .NET, why was the issue posted to the SAP Crystal Reports Design forum rather than the .NET - SAP Crystal reports forum? Note that each forum as a nice description in the header as to what sort of questions should be posted in that forum. In light of you posting the issue to the SAP Crystal Reports Design forum, I feel it was a pretty fair to ask the questions I did ask... (?).
I feel that the way this communication is going, it may be a good idea if you do a bit of searching on these forums. Also, use the search box at the top right corner of this page (it will give you results for KBases, blogs, wikis, articles and more...)
If you do not get what you need from that, it will be best for you to create a phone case here:

Note that if what you report is deemed to be a bug in the CR designer or the CR SDK, your phone case will be refunded.

Export excel setting Page header once per report not working

Hi All,
      I am having a java web application which creates the predefined template reports in pdf or xls or rpt format. I have a requirement where in case of XLS format, the page header should be displayed ONCE PER REPORT. I have Crystal Reports XI release 2 and Java 1.5.
    I am setting from java code
     formatType = IReportFormatOptions.CeReportFormat.EXCEL;
     reportFormat.setFormat(formatType);
     IExcelFormat formatExcel = (IExcelFormat)reportFormat.getFormatInterface();
     formatExcel.setExportPageHeaderFooter(IExcelFormat.CeReportExportHeaderFooterOption.ONCE);
I have installed a patch named Excel Export patch which basically sets some registry entries
Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal
Reports\Export\Excel\PageAreaExportType to 0 for default behavior, 1 to display no page area, 2 to display page area once per report, and 3 to show the page area once per page.
Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal
Reports\Export\Excel\ColumnWidthBaseArea to 0 for default behavior, 4 for column width based on detail
section.
I have set PageAreaExportType to 2 and ColumnWidthBaseArea to 0 and 4.
Still i see the page headers repeating on every page. Could you please help me in resolving the issue?
Thanks in advance.

Currently in our new version of java application, we are not using DHTML viewer. Predefined report templates are published on crystal server and from Java application, we send the report parameters to the crystal and also specify the format type.
Exporting excel from the crystal template is working fine with the page headers repeating only once (have set the page header show once per report option before exporting it to excel). But the same is not happening from the Java application. i have attached the required files to the message that i posted. If you have the access you can take a loot at them.

Document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section

Dear all,
I have a document library using 3 Content Types with metadata columns and a Word-template.
The values of these metadata columns should be displayed within the Word-documents created from content type.
So I've inserted document info fields into the Word-template to display them.
But unfortunately the placeholders are not updated when opening the document again, after metadata values had been changed e.g. by using the edit-form within the list.
From what I have seen so far, this only refers to document info fields resident in header or footer sections.
But this is where I need to place them.
Does anybody know this issue and has an idea of how to fix it?
Could VBA be of use here?
Best regards,
Ben

Hi,
Based on your description, document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section.
Per my test, document info fields in Word will update when placed in document header-section.
Refer to the following article about Add SharePoint Metadata to Word Documents:

If I misunderstanding the issue, Please offer a screenshot about your issue.
