Exporting pdf Format

Hi,
I developed a report with 8 columns ,when trying to export the output in PDF format.The 8 columns are being printed in 3 pages i.e first 3 coulmns in 1 page next 3 in 2nd page and remaining in 3rd page.
Please guide any seetings reqd for printing them in 1 page .i.e settings for landscape etc.
Best Regards,
Mahi

Hi mahi,
You do set it to potrait and then import with pdf format and see if you can get all columns into it.But the better and suggested way to discoverer data is importing it into excel sheet which will be clear to understand and the end user can filter data and analyse it.
Hope it helps you.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • Problems with the report export in PDF format

    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum.
    I'm developing a web application that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports.
    I have three problem:
    1) I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
    with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
    2) I want to print multiple reports one after the other to reduce the time (possibly joining two or more reports into a single PDF)
    3) I want to insert, in the jsp page filters, the number of pages to print from the same report (without
    opening it with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word))
    Can anyone help me? or can give a simple java code to do the same.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Error in exporting from Interactive Report to PDF format

    Hello,
    i am using APEX and from an Interactive Report i am trying to export using Download | PDF format. The table and corresponding report has only text fields. Database character set is UTF-8. Up to now i haven't been able to get a PDF file that can be open from Adobe Acrobat Reader. Every file fails opening with message like "Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf, because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This happens for every report i have tried up to now. If i export report in CSV format all are ok.
    Is there a known bug with PDF download of APEX?
    TIA

    See this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    FOP & Cocoon are free (just need to install the software and configure) Bi Publisher I believe works only for Standard Reports and no Interactive reports at this time.. If you have the $$ BI Publisher is worth the investment!!
    Also, it is rumored that APEX 4.0 will have the PDF generation built in as apposed to the current model where you need to bolt something on..
    Thank you,

  • IllegalArgumentException error while exporting report in PDF format

    Hi all,

    Hello Andrea.
    I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering.  There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
    1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
    Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
    =============================================
    Symptom
    Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
    The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
    Environment
    Windows 2003
    Apache Tomcat 5.0
    Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
    Reproducing the Issue
    Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
    Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
    Cause
    When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
    Resolution
    Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
    The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website. 
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
    =============================================
    Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
    I hope that this helps.
    Regards.
    - Robert

  • "Memory full." error while exporting report to PDF format - CR2008SP2

    <br>
    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    I am developing a C#.NET application that uses the CR2008 SP2 .NET libraries. This application performs some database updates and uses CR2008 SP2 to run 7 different reports and export the results to PDF files. This application is a console application that only uses Crystal to export the rendered reports - it does not use previews or printing.<br>
    <br>
    The specific pattern of this application is as follows:<br>
    <br>
    - perform some database updates<br>
    - render report #1 and export it as a PDF file<br>
    - perform some database updates<br>
    - render report #2 and export it as a PDF file<br>
    ... pattern repeats to report #7 ...<br>
    <br>
    This application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. The problem occurs when I try to run multiple instances of this application at the same time. When I run multiple instances of this application at the same time (against totally different databases) each instance will start up happily and begin running through the process described above. After a few moments one or more instances will fail during the report export. The specific error is as follows:<br>
    <br>
    "Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation."<br>
    <br>
    The error always comes from the call to:<br>
    <br>
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName)<br>
    <br>
    I have watched the memory consumption of these instances of my application while they are running. They never seem to exceed approximately 52MB each. At this time task manager reports over 1GB of physical memory free. These numbers lead me to believe that memory is not actually "full".<br>
    <br>
    Here are some specifics about the environment:<br>
    <br>
    Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB<br>
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64<br>
    SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64<br>
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP2<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the C# application:<br>
    <br>
    IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1<br>
    Type: Console Application<br>
    Target platform: x86<br>
    .NET Framework: 3.5 SP1<br>
    Crystal References:<br>
    - CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0)<br>
    - CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0)<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the report templates:<br>
    <br>
    The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport.<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the database:<br>
    <br>
    Each database is approximately 1GB in size. The database contains many tables but the reports only access a handful of tables. Each table that the reports access have maybe a few hundred rows tops. Most have less than 100. Likewise, when the reports perform their selections the resulting rowset for the reports is anywhere from about 20 records to a few hundred records tops.<br>
    <br>
    A few items to note:<br>
    <br>
    - Multiple instances of my application need to be able to run on a single machine at the same time. It is a specific design requirement.<br>
    - My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time.<br>
    - My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it.<br>
    - My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I change the export format from PDF to HTML32 or HTML40 (have not tried any others)<br>
    - The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs.<br>
    - I have taken steps to ensure that I am properly disposing of my CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument instance just after each export is complete. I have tried to use the "using" keyword, as well as explicitly setting the instance to null and calling the .NET framework garbage collector. This did not seem to help.<br>
    <br>
    Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.<br>

    <br>
    Jonathan & Ludek,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys!<br>
    <br>
    I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions.<br>
    <br>
    Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today.<br>
    <br>
    - The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64.<br>
    <br>
    - The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql).<br>
    <br>
    - During runtime I connect the report to the database by looping through the ReportDocument.Database.Tables collection. For each Table found I create a CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo instance, fill in the table name, server name, database name, user ID, and password, and use Table.ApplyLogOnInfo() to apply it. I do the same thing for the subreports collection if there are any. Like I said, about half of the reports contain a single subreport.<br>
    <br>
    - The report templates are currently set to use the "SQLOLEDB" Provider. The Database Type is set to "OLE DB (ADO)". I am not entirely sure what you mean by trying a different database driver. I assume you mean to change the provider? If so, given the fact that we are using SQL Server 2008, what would I change it to?<br>
    <br>
    - If I do not perform the database updates during application runtime (instead, perform them ahead of time and then allow the application to only render the reports) then I still have the same problem. Nothing changes.<br>
    <br>
    - I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem.<br>
    <br>
    - I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know?<br>
    <br>
    - Regarding fragmented memory: It is hard for me to believe that, given the amount of memory free on the machine once all processes are up and running (1GB+), and the size of the processes (~50MB), that a contiguous block could not be found. Maybe there is some Crystal process that is attempting to balloon out of control, but as far as I can tell my application is not getting very big. I will not rule this out of course because I don't know for sure.<br>
    <br>
    - Regarding killing the process once a report is rendered: The problem with this is that the application needs to perform these 7 groups of updates and render these 7 reports in a specific sequence all as part of one complete "pass". Also, this application needs to be able to be able to handle a scneario where one or more instance of the application is started on a single machine at roughly the same time (pointed at different databases). The application actually does work fine in this regard (staying well within the capabilities of my 4GB laptop even when 8 of them are running) except that I always get the same error when I choose PDF as my export format.<br>
    <br>
    - I ran a test today where I changed the export format to HTML40 and started 8 instances of the application at the same time, each working from a different copy of the database. The instances ran a little slow but did complete in good time with no errors. Please note that changing the export format to PDF will cause the application to fail with the "memory full" error if even only 2 instances are running at the same time. The only way I can successfully complete a run with the export format set to PDF is to run only 1 instance at a time. I can run it over and over all day long and it will not fail, as long as only 1 instance is running at a given time. As of yesterday I had only proven that the application would complete when using the HTML40 export format when 2 or 4 instances are running, but today I doubled it again (to 8) and still no failure while using HTML40. This is possibly the most interesting fact about this problem, and is another reason why I am skeptical that memory fragmentation is the culprit.<br>
    <br>
    We would like to solve this problem because we would like to continue to target the PDF format. It is the standard report export format for our applications. If we cannot solve this problem we may call a meeting and decide whether to proceed with the HTML40 export format, or possibly dump Crystal from this project altogether.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks again for your interest in our problem and your timely and helpful responses. I'm really not sure where to go next ... maybe change the database provider in the templates? I will need some specific advice in this area because I'm not sure what to do. Any more ideas you guys have will be greatly appreciated on this end!<br>

  • Issues in exporting SSRS report to PDF format in Report Server - Blank spaces are deleted

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a problem in exporting SSRS report to PDF format. It deletes all the blank spaces when I use bullet in a Text box and try to export to PDF formt in Report Server . For example
    •             Project submitted to the TRC
    Result in PDF format:
         • ProjectsubmittedtotheTRC
    I also noted that when I try to export to PDF in Visual Stuio 2005 (Business Intelligence development studio), it does not delete any blank spaces and shows the correct aligned Data in PDF format.
    Please help me as it is frustrating a lot
    I would highly appreciate for your quick response 

    Was there ever a solution found for this as i have the same issue.
    When bullet point is entered in a field all the spaces are removed when exported to PDF
    i tried exporting to excel and it does not remove spaces, however this is no use to me as it needs to be in PDF
    Using IE 7 (Don't think the browser has anything to do with it as this happened via a subscription)
    Didn't know SSRS had specific Service Packs, i though they came as patches to SQL Server (SQL Server is on Service Pack 3)
    This should be easy to replicate all you need to do is copy text containing a bullet point into a sql server database field and then add this field to a report export to pdf and the spaces are gone
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark Brunton

  • Change in report format after exporting from pdf format to excel format.

    Hi,
    I got a problem while exporting the pdf format of the Report to Excel format "Fully-Foramtted Grids and Texts".
    The format gets automatically changed.
    Is there any solution to this problem.

    Can you give some more details?
    Which version are you using (and which patch level - if any).
    Also what formatting is default on the reports and what is the default format in excel.
    What exactly is different between PDF and excel?
    Another possibility is that font substitution is going on??

  • How can i export PDF as a Booklet formate in InDesign?

    Hi,
    I am currently working on 48 pages book. Book design is complete and i want to send it to printer as a spread in Booklet formate. how can i export pdf as booklet format?

    In this situation we strongly needed PDF in booklet layout. so is there any suggestion for saving that instead of printing?
    You have to save a postscript file using the Adobe PDF 9.0 PPD, as Eugene is showing in #6, and distill the .ps file to PDF using Distiller.

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.

  • Exporting pdfs to word and excel file formats  and translating

    Hello, I am new to this forum and came here because I am a professional translator. Although we should be given documents in their original file format, in the real world translators have to convert pdfs such as manuals or annual reports into word or excel files. Given the fact we often work for agencies, and/or do not work directly with the people who created the original files inthe first place, with the best will in the world we normally have to make do with converting the pdf file, or lose the job.
    I would like advice on the best way to learn more about  pdf to word and excel conversion and ways of keeping formatting when it is helpful and removing what is not.
    The general problem is (well the problem is really ignorance on my part!) of course getting the "look and feel" similar in the converted document and knowing more about manipulating the formating and elements which get converted.
    Any help or pointers to online tutorials whether multimedia or text much appreciated.
    David Hardisty (david1610)

    Thank you Lori, this is so clear! I am a teacher as well and there are clear presentations and wonderfully clear presentations and this is in the latter category.
    A tiny suggestion. You would not believe how many pdf files exported to word I have received that are Portuguese content and the sender has not set the language to Portuguese! So in your text entry you might want to mention the language setting. I know it is obvious, but as we know sometimes we cannot see the obvious!
    I will need to look far more carefully at the final things in your video.
    Are there any special considerations for exporting pdf files as Excel? My original doubt was I had to translate some accounting documents. 95% of the document was numbers which did not changing (except for commas to periods and vice versa due to different separator conventions). I did not now how to just select e.g. the vertical column with text. I will go back and try with this suggestion because in this case the look and feel of the numbers was important and the precise fonts etc. seemed to cause problems. But now I am getting out of my depth!
    Thank you again!

  • Automator Workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format

    Does anyone know of any automator workflow to export Numbers documents in PDF format? I tried this program: Convert to PDF 1.2
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/converttopdf_mauriziominelli.htm l
    But it gives an error.

    Reading carefully is often useful.
    The description of the tool which you tried clearly states :
    *About Convert to PDF*
    *_Convert all of your text files to PDF_. This action uses the underlying cups printing system ability to convert files, it’s a simple front end to the command line tool cupsfilter.*
    As far as I know, but maybe you don't, *_a Numbers document isn't a text file._*
    I already posted a script exporting Numbers documents as PDF.
    Here is an enhanced version which apply only to Numbers '09 (or maybe higher) :
    --[SCRIPT save2Numbers&PDF.app]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
    déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir save2Numbers&PDF
    Le script enregistre le document au format natif de Numbers
    et l'enregistre dans un fichier PDF.
    S'il existe déjà un PDF homonyme, il est renommé en lui ajoutant une chaîne
    construite sur sa date de modification.
    --=====
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    +++++++
    Save the script
    as a Script: save2Numbers&PDF.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose save2Numbers&PDF
    The script saves the document in the native Numbers format and saves it in a .pdf file
    If such a .pdf already exists, it is renamed with a stamp matching its modification date.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox
