Export To PDF Issue

I have an old server (Windows Server 2003 x86) that I used to export lots reports as PDFs and it has worked perfectly. The new server is now setup (running Windows Server 2008 R2 x64), and the export seems to have gone haywire. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 and an .NET 4.0 application using the CrystalDecisions version 12 libraries.
The report is 1 page long, 8.5 x 11, but when exported to a pdf it is spreading across 3 pages with lots of white space including an entire blank page at the end. This only happens when running it on the server through either a web application, or windows application. I am able to actually preview the report in Crystal, view and export and it looks good.
Any ideas what would be changing the report into a 3 page pdf? I have installed the correct merge modules, Crystal Reports 2008 and it hasn't help.
Thanks,
Eric

No, the report is created using the standalone Crystal Reports 2008. The .NET application just references the libraries that exports the report. The report is used by a couple different applications, so it doesn't live inside one of the projects.

Export to PDF Issue (SSRS 2012 with Integration SharePoint 2013)

Problem Description: We have an operational report that returns around 43,000 records, based on a stored procedure. The Stored Procedure itself runs pretty quickly (under ~15 seconds).The report renders in 20 seconds.
However, we get an error like “Sorry, something went wrong” (see below) approximately 2 minutes after we choose/select the PDF as a rendering extension for export. The download of the .PDF never starts.
Sorry, something went wrong

Things Also Done
1) I also tried exporting the report through excel and found no issues (it exports successfully and no issue when i open the file). The size of the exported excel (.xlsx) is 4.28MB. The timerendering value for export to excel is approx. 77 seconds.
2) I also tried creating email subscription (PDF as the rendering format) for that report and it works successfully. The size of the attached PDF from the email is approx. 1.43 MB. I can also open that PDF file with no issue. And the size of the email with
the attached PDF file is approx. 1.48 MB.
That all said, we would like to seek for your assistance to determine what is causing the failure of exporting the report to PDF issue directly from the reporting site. (Let me remind you that the email subscription for the same report with attached
PDF works with no issue)

Hi roel2000,
According to your description, you get error when exporting the report into PDF. It works properly when exporting in excel or PDF format within E-mail subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, the Excel and MHTML(e-mail subscription) render extensions are soft page break renderers. The PDF render extension is hard page break renderer. It has different render behavior between these two kind of renders. This might cause the
error. Since we are not clear about your report structure, please refer to rules in the link below and do the troubleshooting.
Rendering Behaviors (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Crystal reports 2008 Arabic content export to PDF issue with JRC

hi there,
I am using JRC for our JAVA application, The report contains of partial Arabic & Englishand while viewing report arabic text is shown correct. While exporting to PDF, the arabic content was reversed (reversed characterwise).
If I call from BO server and then exporting to pdf is fine. Only the problem is when we call the report from local.
Is there any fix for this issue? Please help.

No, seems you are the only having this problem.
Try downloading Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com and filter on crw32.exe and then export and look in the logs to see if any permissions are denied or missing dependencies.
Be sure you are a local PC Administrator when installing also.
Thank you

Export to Pdf Issue in IR

Hi All,
I am having issues with export to pdf in Hyperion IR. I am using the following code to export a report section to pdf:
ActiveDocument.Sections["R-Pdf_Report"].Export("C:\\Temp\\Report.pdf",bqExportFormatPDF)
It exports the report to pdf but the pivots in the report appear to be in a messed up format. The lines are omitted randomly and the pivot border appears to be broken at few places. When I print it, the format of the pivots comes out perfectly fine. Just that when the user sees it in the soft copy pdf format, it appears funky.
Can anyone suggest what a fix for this could be?
Thanks.

Open the analysis, go to the Results tab.
On the top of the Results tab, click the 5th icon from left. A popup window will open there u can Set the orientation to “landscape” and save the analysis.
Mark if helps,
Thanks,

Exporting to PDF Issues (color)

I have a series of INDD CS6 files I'm exporting to PDF. Each file includes an identical linked image (our corporate logo). When exporting, all files export perfectly except for one. On that one, everything is exporting to color except the logo, which is gray scale.
As mentioned, the original linked image is identical. PDF exporting set-up is identical.
I'm baffled.

could be some minor file corruption--try this--make a 'new' document (same size) - then in questionable document--select all--then copy/paste in place in new document--then try exporting again

Exporting A PDF issue

I've built an dialog window (figured out my issues with the ui from the last post). I'm having a problem exporting a file via a button "export"
when I leave the code outside a function, it works fine. Builds the PDF with the preferences on build of the dialog.
with(app.pdfExportPreferences)
        exportGuidesAndGrids = true;
        exportLayers = true;
        exportNonPrintingObjects = false;
myDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, new File(myPath+"/filesname.pdf"), false);
When I put it in a onclick function, or call a named function from the onclick I get errors. What am I doing wrong, and How can I get it to work with a button selection?
   Thanks

Well I'm using extendscript toolbar, Im not getting any error messeges just an orange bar telling me where the errror is (tried to find that to turn it on so I could actually know what the error is)
We can assume that the window is open. The button in the window trys to call the function while its still open. Can I have a widow open and export? I did try a close as the first command for an onclick function, followed by the eport but it still gives me an error

Exporting to PDF Issue

I have a Report that was created using Crystal Reports XI Developer. The report prints invoices (text) and also images (blob values). The report uses the oracle OCI database driver.
When I run this report from Crystal Reports XI Developer and export it to a pdf, the size of the pdf is around 12 meg.
When I run this exact same report but using Crystal Reports for Eclipse and change the datasource programatically to use the oracle jdbc driver, the size of the pdf is around 56 meg!
What would cause such a drastic file size change? Both pdf files have the same number of pages so the reports look identical.
Things to note:
     Database: Oracle 10g
     Crystal Reports For Eclipse : 1.0.2.v795
     I used the "JRCExportReport.java" as an example to programatically export       the report to a pdf.
Any help would be greatly appreciate
Marty

Crystal Reports Designer (crw) and Crystal Reports for Eclipse (cr4e) use different PDF export engines, so there isn't an equivalence in performace.
Generally, I find that text-only PDF from cr4e is smaller, since it doesn't subset fonts, but indexes them, but image and chart intensive PDF from cr4e is larger, since it doesn't compress images down as much as crw.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

CR XI R2 pdf export font size issue

Exporting a report to PDF using Crystal XI R2 seems to be reducing the size of the fonts. When printing directly from CR and exporting to PDF and printing from the PDF viewer the font sizes are smaller. Any ideas on what I can do to correct the problem?

Please refer following SAP note:
Business Objects Notes Get Help | Close
   1220516 - Font size decreases when report is exported to PDF from Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Language   English     Version   1     Validity: 07.05.2008 - active
Edit Print View Show change log Show Internal Memos
Content:    Summary   |   Header Data   |   Other Properties
Symptom
In Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 the font shrinks by approximately 10% when a report is exported to Adobe Acrobat Format (PDF).
Cause
This behavior is due to the way Windows and UNIX, and therefore Crystal Reports, handles low point size fonts on a low-resolution screen. Text layout in the absence of a printer driver will consistently be rendered differently than in PDF.
Crystal Reports currently shrinks the font by 10% to prevent any truncation this difference may cause.
Resolution
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the behavior
Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal eports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
In UNIX, an X server client such as x-win32 must be installed. Add the keys as follows:
Launch the X server client.
Source <bobje install>/bobje/setup using env.sh (for example: ./env.sh).
Create the registry keys as detailed above.
Restart the Report Page and Cache Servers.
====================
NOTES:
If using Windows 2003 Server, upgrade to Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher as well as creating the above registry keys.
Use the appropriate path to access the UNIX regedit as follows:
AIX: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/aix_rs6000/crpe/mw/bin-aix4_optimized/regedit
Sun Solaris: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-sunos5_optimized/regedit
Linux: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-linux_optimized/regedit
====================

HELP! Exporting pdf issues - no email links and gray boxes around text

I'm a newbie to indesign, and trying to learn the program as I go. I need to export my pdf for onscreen viewing. When I "print" it works, but I get no email links, and those annoying white lines here and there. I read that exporting would solve the email link issue, but it opened another can of worms for my project. Now all my graphics have black or gray boxes across them, almost like censor boxes. But my email links work.
Learning Adobe is like learning a new language, and I have far from mastered it. So when I exported, I used the lowest resolution presets, assuming it knew what worked better than I did. After dozens of unsuccessful exports, can someone please help??
Also, I've been reading posts that say to convert all spots to color to resolve the white line issue. But it's grayed out in the ink manager. What is the secret to unlock it?
Thank you!!

Thank you for any and all help!
I have CS5.5, running on windows 7. It is up to date as of 1 month ago. Here's a sample of my problem pages. Also, a screen shot of what it should look like. My guess is it has something to do with the transparencies, since it's 2+ layers of embossed objects. If I export in Acrobat 4 (1.3) these boxes don't happen. But then I get the thin white lines across my graphics, and no email links. As for spot colors, I confess complete ignorance on all color issues, but I'm trying to learn as I go. How can I export this correctly?

Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

Hi Experts,
When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
Looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
Search for the following in the search bar at the top right of SCN's page:
ForceLargerFonts
UsePrecisePositioningForText
TruncationAdjustment
All these are registry keys that you might need to apply on the machine.

InDesign exporting to PDF - .eps and .ai color issue

I've been reviewing a lot of help forums and have played with a lot of solutions and can't seem to fix this one.
With no updates or changes to my usual settings I've noticed an issue with my company logo when I export to PDF from InDesign CS6. Once I open the PDF all images and color spaces look fine, but the logo is muted, as if I set the opacity to 60-70% before exporting.
It happens with both EPS and AI files. It does NOT happen when I place the logo as a JPEG, but I need transparency and quality on these PDFs. Don't say PNG please, same issue with quality.
I don't understand how it changed when I changed nothing.
Any guidance would be appreciated, and I know I couldn't have possiblty provide a complete set of variables, so let me know wheat else would be helpful.

Thanks for both your responses. It appears that everythign in the original logo file and InDesign file are accurately set up. I've explored any back corners to see if something is off, but it all reads the same space/model/mode.
I've inserted an exported image to show the issue. The file formats from top to bottom is: AI, EPS, JPEG, PNG
Any other ideas?

Hi Pradeep,
I dont think this can be done. There are various issues with exporting web items to PDF, one of them being formating. We had a similar issues and opened an OSS with SAP and they stated this was how it was designed and SAP do not provide a better way of formatting PDFs.
Thanks,
Nick.

Issue with Crystal Report export to PDF

Have a report in Crystal Report 2008. The report runs fine, but would like to export it to PDF/EXCEL, but nothing happens when I select the Export type(i.e. PDF,Excel, etc).
Steps to replicate:
1. Run Crystal Report
2. Click on EXPORT button.
3. Select the Export type (PDF).
4. Click on EXPORT - Nothing happens nor does it return any error.
Would someone be able to provide some tips on this issue
Thanks

The problem is that the 3rd party is using some CR SDK. We don't even know what SDK that is. They should be coming here and asking us to help them on your behalf. It is almost impossible for us to help, not knowing how they implemented the SDK, which SDk, etc..
