Exporting Report to PDF file

I am interested in exporting a html db report with charts to a pdf file. Is this possible? If not what license/package do I need to do it?
I am not an oracle expert so any direction would be appreciated..

This link is broke. Try: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:::::P44_ID:1522
Search this forum for PDF.

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
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 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 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 object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

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.

Oracle Discoverer - Export report as PDF

Using Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 with Adobe 7 installed. We do not see an option to export as a PDF file. It was my understanding this should be an option. Is there a way to add PDF as an export option?

Hi,
You cannot export to PDF from Discoverer Desktop, however, you can use Discoverer to print to the Adobe PDF Converter print device which will generate the Discoverer report in PDF format.

Exporting report to PDF error

This code has worked for years, but now I'm getting the following error when programmatically exporting a report to PDF:
"File does not begin with %PDF-"
My environment info:
Crystal Reports Developer XI Release 2 sp1
VS 2005 - .NET 2.0
IIS 6
Few lines of code used to export:
Response.ClearContent()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
' Export the document to PDF
oRpt.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, False, "")
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
One of the common answers that I've seen is uncheck the "display in browser" option in Acrobat, but that doesn't work and isn't really a viable solution anyway. I'm looking for a real permanent solution if one exists. TIA.
Michael

Hi folks, you're never gonna guess in a million years what the issue was. Yes, I finally found the problem. In my code where the db connection properties are set for the Crystal report document, it gets the values from the app's db connection string in the web.config (the one that ISD creates). It parses that string to set the properties, but it doesn't handle a "trusted connection" setting in that string. Well, some time ago, I set that db connection string to a "trusted connection" setting (to test something), so the app continued to work fine, and I never set it back to a fixed user id and pw. So, the actual problem was that the Crystal report was encountering a db connection problem, but it was spitting out a bogus message of "File does not begin with %PDF-". The strange thing, that isn't resolved yet, is why is the "problem" not throwing an exception or causing an error prior to the export/stream process. The only logical conclusion is that Crystal doesn't attempt to connect to the database until the export/stream process begins, and then it's too late and spits out an error message in the stream that is not in a proper PDF file format.
These issues are the kinda things that make you want to throw your monitor out the window. Once again, my love/hate relationship with Crystal Reports over the past 12 years has gone to the "hate" side. Thanks for your willingness to help.
BTW, the way I figured it out was to use the CrystalReportViewer and run the report - sure enough, it displayed the db connection error message, which led me down the right path.

Exporting Report to PDF in Landscape

Hello All,
After my Hyperion report finished, I exported the result into PDF. Due to having too many rows, HTML and Excel are not viable options. After the export finished writing to a PDF file, I checked the report and realized that unless I find a way to save the result in a Landscape mode, each page of the report will be broken into two pages. Does anyone know how to export reports in PDF format in a Landscape mode?
Thank you,
Seyed

Hello Ameuras,
Thank you for your help. I was able to use the information in your response and then save the PDF report in a Landscape format. However, this still prints each row on two pages. Next, I will try your other suggestion to see if using 'Scale To Fit' would solve this problem.
Thanks again,
Seyed

Hi Gaurav,
Check if the URL in the ConfigPort_Document SOA destination is correct. Also, check if the os_libs directory under the /usr/sap/SID/JXX/j2ee directory. If it does, then stop the SAP system, rename the os_libs directory, and restart the system.
Try generating a PDF report.
Cheers!

The directory allows for writing files. I can manually export a file via the viewer. When I try to open this file I get an error that another application is using the file (Crystal?)Code I use:<% reportname = "Radar.rpt" ExportFileName = "Radar.PDF" If Not IsObject (session("oApp")) Then Set session("oApp") = Server.CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application.11") End If Path = MID(request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED"), 1, (LEN(request.ServerVariables("PATH_TRANSLATED"))-22)) & "Reports\" If IsObject(session("oRpt")) then Set session("oRpt") = nothing End ifOn error resume nextSet session("oRpt") = session("oApp").OpenReport(Path & reportname, 1)session("oRpt").MorePrintEngineErrorMessages = False session("oRpt").EnableParameterPrompting = False 'session("oRpt").DiscardSavedDataWith session("oRpt").Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties ' .Item("DSN") = "test" .Item("User ID") = "test" .Item("Password") = "test" End With session("oRpt").ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue(Cint(request.Querystring("CustomerID"))) End SelectIf Err.Number <> 0 Then Response.Write "An Error has occured.

Hi Ludek,
I trid the SP, but doesn't work. I can send the font to you, it is only 50K. If you would like to try I can send it to you, but i am not sure how i can upload the font file. I guess any none Windows standard font will have same issue, i guess.
For now, i am going to give up and use image file instead.
Thanks,
Lan
Do you know if it is well-known issue in CR?
- No I do not.
where i can get any SP of CR for VS2008?
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
Runtimes for SP1:
CRRedist2008_ia64.msi

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255282008E/CRRedist2008_x86.zip
I would not mind testing this, but I need to know if there is a free download of this font available. I Googled the font name, but a quick search did not come up with anything.
Alternatively, you could try CR 2008 (12.x) and see if that will do the trick for you. An Eval of CR 2008 is available here:

Issue while exporting report in PDF using crystal report XI

Hello,
I am facing issue while exporting a report to PDF through crystal report XI. Reports are generating properly in the crystal report browser but when I am exporting the reports in PDF or trying to get print by clicking on print button, reports not generating properly.
Allignment in the exported PDF reports getting changed and reports margin is also changes. Due to this some part of report is chopped and printed on the next page.
I have deployed my application on IBM WebSphere 6.1 server and I am getting following error which might help to identify this issue.

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:
