Exporting responses in pdf format

If I export my responses in pdf format, would I be able to print the forms central form populated with the data?

Hi, when select a response, then click File -> Download Selected Response as PDF Form option would generate a pdf form that populated with the selected reponse data.

IllegalArgumentException error while exporting report in PDF format

Hi all,
we are using Crystal Report 2008, Java 1.5.22 and JRC 11.8.4.1094 to export reports in pdf format within java.
It is working fine for all reports except for a specific report where it gives IllegalArgumentException while exporting the PDF.
Below the error occurred:

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.

Selectively exporting sheets in pdf format

I have a Numbers '09 file with 12 sheets in it. I would like to share just 8 of these sheets by exporting them in pdf format. How can I selectively choose the 8 different sheets ? I currently find that the export command automatically converts all 12 of the sheets into a single pdf file.

Arul,
It wouldn't be too difficult to Print or Export the entire document to PDF and then open it in Preview and delete the four sheets you don't want, unless I'm missing something. Preview is powerful and easy to use.

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

 
Hello, 
 
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. 
 
The specific pattern of this application is as follows: 
 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #1 and export it as a PDF file 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #2 and export it as a PDF file 
... pattern repeats to report #7 ... 
 
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: 
 
"Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation." 
 
The error always comes from the call to: 
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName) 
 
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". 
 
Here are some specifics about the environment: 
 
Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB 
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 
SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64 
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 
 
Specifics about the C# application: 
 
IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1 
Type: Console Application 
Target platform: x86 
.NET Framework: 3.5 SP1 
Crystal References: 
- CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0) 
- CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0) 
 
Specifics about the report templates: 
 
The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport. 
 
Specifics about the database: 
 
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. 
 
A few items to note: 
 
- 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. 
- My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it. 
- 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) 
- The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs. 
- 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. 
 
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Steve

Jonathan & Ludek, 
 
Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys! 
 
I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions. 
 
Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today. 
 
- The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64. 
 
- The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql). 
 
- 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. 
 
- 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? 
 
- 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. 
 
- I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem. 
 
- I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know? 
 
- 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. 
 
- 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. 
 
- 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. 
 
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. 
 
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! 
 
Steve

Trouble exporting response into PDF

I've been trying to export a response to the PDF form for an hour now. It's "processing", but the PDF still hasn't been created. The forms aren't large, only consisting of 14 fields, a couple of which allow attachments. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've printed the responses from the detail view, but we would really like to be able to present them in the format of the PDF form.

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,

Hi Nalani500 ,
Yes, you can print the response in a PDF by following the steps suggested below.
1) Go to the response file
2) Select the response you want to print
3) Click on Save as PDF button and it would save the selected response in PDF format.

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

Hyperion IR 9.3.1 - Issue in printing the report after exporting it to pdf

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in printing the report after exporting it to pdf format using Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. I have set page size of report section to 11X17 inch landscape. Now I am exporting this report section to pdf. Report gets exported to pdf with size 11X17 inch landsacpe. But when I am trying to print this pdf it is shrinking the documnet size to A4 size paper and printing it rather it should print it on 11X17 inch paper size. Please suggest if there is fix available for this issue.
Thanks
Ujjawal

"File > Print Setup > Paper > Size" on PDF.
I think this issue is only to do with the printer and not IR.
I think the question now is "Can your printer print 11X17 pages or not".

Problem with diacritics when export in Acrobat(PDF)

Hello,
I use reporting service from Sql Server 2008 R2 and I have a problem when I export in Acrobat(PDF) format. All the 'ș' and 'ț' are after export in pdf just a square.
Can you please help me. Thanks.

Hi Alin-g,
SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services supports Adobe Acrobat 6 or later. So, please make sure your current Acrobat version meets the requirement.
Besides, the font in the PDF format may be different with that in the HTML rendering extension because GDI font substitution in those formats behaves differently. If there is a font missing on the client, you might see characters replaced with boxes (□).

Best screen size for exporting slideshow as pdf

Help please,I create slide shows for clients and export them in pdf format that are shown to numerours people but who are viewing the slide shows on different size displays ,what are the best settings both in silde show mode and creating and exporting as a PDF( height and width) so the images in the slide show will best and be maximized on all screens ?,size of the exported PDF is not a issue.
Any help is welcomed,Thanks
PS will there be any viewing difference ,if a slideshow created on a pc in Lightroom and shown on a Mac?

Having just tried to do the same thing, IMHO the Adobe PDF engine does not do the best job of resizing images. I exported at 1200x1600 and on my 1280x1024 screen there were noticeable jaggies on the text. The image itself was less noticeably degraded, but it was. For slide shows I use another product that does a much better job here, but you may not want to add another learning curve to your life. I think you should go to the PDF forum and ask around for a solution.
I can't speak to Mac/Pc issues.

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,

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.

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:
