Facing issue in PDF print on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard

Hi,
I am facing one issue on using Guided Navigation Link on dashboard.
I have created one Guided Nav. Link on dashboard and renamed it as "RAW DATA".
It was working fine.It is coming as RAW DATA link and when I am clicking on the link it is drilling down.
Till now it is working fine and good.
But in Printer friendly option of dashboard when I am selecting PDF option( To save it as PDF) it was showing text "Guided Nav Link 1" instead of "RAW DATA" in the downloaded pdf.
Please give me some solution.
Thanks in Advance

Try this:
1) Drag Guid. Nav. Link to dashboard in a new section.
2) Click on properties of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
3) For the source request, click on browse and navigate to the report.
4) In the Link Properties, check the "Use Dashboard Oject name as link object" checkbox and click "OK."
5) Click on the Rename button of the Guid. Nav. Link object.
6) Type in the name you wish to appear in the link and click "OK."
When you click on Print>PDF, the name of the link will appear in the pdf instead of "Guid. Nav Link 1."

OBIEE Guided Navigation Link - How to open in New page.

Hi,
I am using Guided navigation links in OBIEE dashboards to link some of my reports.
When i click on the Link it opens the report on the same page. Instead i have to open the report in a new page. This Option is available in 'Link OR Image' section, not in 'Guided Nav. Link' section. Please suggest me if there is any way to achieve this.
Thanks
Swami

Hi
We have the same need: from within a report we have guided navigation to a detail report, that uses the values of the record in the master report as filterparameters. When clicking a row in the master report , we should open the detail report in a new window, while leaving the master report in the dashboard open. How can we achieve this?
Swami just mentioned the Link or Image object to indicate that this possibility of choosing the same or a new window is present there, and asked where to find the same choosing option for guided navigation.

Issue with PDF Printer in Acrobat 6.0 on windons 8

I use the PDF writer on acrobat. I had an Windows XP PC which died and the new PC is windows 8 (no xp available).
The s/w I have is Acrobat 6.0 standard it had issues w/ compatibility which I selected to load anyway.
It gave 3 errors all the same Warning 20225 A Acrobat 6.0 setup unable to create Adobr PDF Port Monitor, the PDF Printer may be unavailablr.
And it is.
I down loaded and installed the to updates
Ac60BaP1 and Acro-Reader_6.0.2_Update
Still has the issue.
Can you help me?
Is there a copy of 6.0 which would work I could download and use my license key on the disk I have.
Customer service could not help only upgrades from 9.0 and did not know the issue
I just need the PDF writer actually for my Resume print, currently looking for a job laid-off so money is tight.

You might be able to use Acrobat and Distiller, but the print driver and AcroTray will probably not work. For AA6 (assuming Acrobat and Distiller work), install a PS printer and set the port to FILE and change the name to Adobe PDF. Then when you print to the Adobe PDF printer (or use PDF Maker -- of course PDF Maker for AA6 will not work with OFFICE 2007 or later) you will create a PS file (probably have a PRN extension). Just open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. The 3rd party options are always there, but have pros and cons.

Setting pdf printer settings use framemaker FDK

I am trying to create a framemaker client that will save a book as a pdf file. This client will do all the steps automatically and will be activated nightly on a build server.
My problem is that when I use the command F_ApiSave() with the arguments set so that the file will be correctly saved, I get an error in framemaker that says I must set the PDF printer property: "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." to off. This option is already set to off by default, but my client must be changing it to on.
Is there any way to change this option using the Framemaker API in C on windows?

Doku for pdf printing ends in a dead link

Hi everyone,
I want to setup pdf printing in APEX.
The most important installation doku is
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
Since there is APEX 4.0 it results in 404 page not found.
But there is no newer documentation in 4.0
Is there a new url or copy?
As far I know, the doku describes how to install the fop.war with oc4j.
Is it possible to use tomcat instead of oc4j, because oc4j is not free (I am using xe and apex 3.2)
I know, there is the posibility to use cocoon, but I need a small footprint
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
Here's the new link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/configure-printing-093060.html
... the link changed due to OTN using a new system, it's not related to APEX 4.0, so it's still the old document. Not sure about Tomcat, haven't tried that yet.

Marc

Using variables as filters in analyses launched by Guided Navigation links

I'm trying to build a navigation link that will launch an analysis and have the filters in that analysis respect the values of either Presentation Variables or Session Variables. I'm having success with an ordinary column. I'm not having success with a number that I need to type into a prompt.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Created a dashboard prompt based on the Month column. When a Month is selected, that selection populates the Request (Session) variable called Selected_Mo
2. Created an analysis with:
- a filter on the Month column: = Selected_Mo
- the Month column
- a column showing the value of Selected_Mo
3. Placed both of those onto a dashboard page. When I select a value of Month, the month in the analyis changes, and the column showing the value of Selected_Mo changes. So far, all is good.
4. Placed an Action Link on the dashboard. That action link launches the same analysis that I can see on the dashboard.
5. Clicked the action link. The value of Month that I selected on the dashboard is shown in the analysis.
Now, I'm trying to do the exact same thing with a numeric entry field in a dashboard prompt, and I'm running into a stumbling block. I want to type a number into a field in a dashboard prompt, and populate a session variable called Change_Pctg. Selecting "Variable Prompt" in the dashboard prompt only lets me populate a Presentation Variable. But no matter. I've created a "dummy" field like we used to do in 10g, just creating a Column Prompt against a column formula of 1.
When I put the analysis onto the dashboard, it's correct. I can enter a number into the dashboard prompt field, click Apply, and that value is shown in the analysis on the screen. I'm filtering against that value as well, and the number of rows is right. So I know that I'm setting the value of that Change_Pctg session variable.
But when I click the action link, only Selected_Mo is respected by the target analysis. The Change_Pctg session variable is ignored.
Any thoughts?

I'd like to abort this post. I've been able to replicate the error using a much simpler method. Refer to the post entitled 'Passing Presentation Variables to Guided Navigation'.

OBIEE 11g Guided Navigation Link

Hi All,
In 10g I used the guided nav link to link main menu page with hidden dashboard page, so that also presentation variable is passed to the report published on the hidden page.
I'm not able to find this on 11g, if I use a link to the hidden page the presentation variable is not pass to the report even if this presentation variable is created on a dashboard prompt.
Any Idea?
Regards,
Daniele

Hi Balaa ,
That doesn't what Daniele try to achieve . We are clearly missing the Guided navigation for passing the value assigned under presentation variable of the prompt.
It is not to address how to set the prompt in different scope .

I too use multiple report queries which are then converted to XML and passed to the FOP server, I'm not sure what you want is achievable in the report queries. Alternatively you can use XSL in the style sheet to conditionally display output.
e.g.
<fo:block font-size="8pt">
<xsl:for-each select="//ROWSET2/ROWSET2_ROW">
<xsl:variable name="vContactTypeName">
<xsl:value-of select="CONTACT_TYPE_NAME"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$vContactTypeName = 'URL'">
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="CONTACT_TYPE_VALUE"/></fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>
Hope that helps

HELP - How can I default PDF printing to use Custom Scale 97%?

We just upgraded an old computer to new hardware. The old machine automatically defaulted all PDFs to print to Custom Scale 97%. Because of our letterhead it's critical that this value remain defaulted to prevent wasting large amounts of stock. How can we default this setting again in Reader XI?

As an update, I got this working on my local machine. Unfortunately it isn't taking on the print machine yet. I made the following registry changes:
bprintExpandToFit (1)
bprintSetPageSize (97)
bprintScaling (2)
Locally it works using version 11.0.06. The print machine keeps re-setting the registry values however.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Facing issues while creating Debit memo using FM SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE.

Hello,
           While trying to create a debit memo with reference to a Billing document with help of Fm SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE I'm facing two issues.
1. While the Debit memo is succesfully created - and VBELN of VBAK is getting updated- the doc flow table VBFA is not getting updated with the debit memo number.

Having issues with PDF printing in Acrobat 7 Pro

The issue I am having is when I print from adobe Acrobat 7 it prints the page really tiny in the middle of the page, I look at all the printing options and change them and get the same result. Just wondering if anyone else seen this and what I can do to fix this.
Thanks

when you get to the print screen it looks fine on the page, I've tried all the other options for scaling and when it prints it prints really tiny in the middle of the page. I have the paper set to letter. I did't see any options about shrinking the print.

PDF printing problem using generic template

Good Morining,
I am having problems displaying mulitple rows in my report heading in my pdf report.

This displays correctly on the Oracle Hosted site. On my site I will only see the first 2 lines and everything else gets cut off.
I am currently using Apex 4.2.2.00.11.
Thanks,

Using Guided Nav. Link to realize requeats swapping in dashboard

Hello,
I faced a problem when I use the Guided Nav. Link in dashboard,
I want to realize requeats swapping in dashboard.
I have a prompt, there are two values, 'SALES' and 'BUDGET', and I have set a presentation variable named 'pv'.
I have create two request, and each request has included three columns, the 'request1' is including 'YEAR', 'SALES', 'TYPE'.
The 'TYPE' value is 'SALES', and I had set a filter in this request, is equal to 'pv' .
The 'request2' including 'YEAR', 'BUDGET', 'TYPE', The 'TYPE' value is 'BUDGET', and I also had set a filter in this request, is equal to 'pv' .
Now I put the prompt in dashboard, and set two Guided Nav. Link,
one is point to 'request1', specify ‘Reference from Source request’ as ‘Yes’, source request as ‘request1’ , show section as ‘if request returns rows’,
'Request or Dashboard' was point to 'request1'.
Another is point to 'request2', specify ‘Reference from Source request’ as ‘Yes’, source request as ‘request2’ , show section as ‘if request returns rows’,
'Request or Dashboard' was point to 'request2'.
now when I select 'SALES' in prompt, it will show link to 'request1', when I select 'BUDGET', it will show link to 'requeat2'.
I want to ask how can I show the table/chart directly, not only show a link.
How to do it?
Thank you!

How to do it?
Don't use Guided Navigation Link Dashboard object here. Instead use 2 section with Guided Navigation Conditional Section to show the section which inturn will show the reports embedded into it (add these two reports to two different sections) and not the link. Click on section and the conditional navigation option will be there.
Hope its clear
Thank you!
