Fonts supported by crystal reports XI

Does Crystal reports XI support postscript fonts?
Does Crystal Reports XI allow postscript fonts to be exported to PDF? (I know that this was not possible in Crystal Reports 9. Has this been resolved in XI?)
Many thanks in advance...

First check is to ensure the Java JVM can see the font. The Java SDK comes with the JFC demo Font2DTest. Do the fonts show up there?
Note that the Java JRE has a lib/fonts directory, where you can place TrueType fonts that the JRE then would use.

Printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI

I have an issue with printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI utilizing Manhattan Associates Performance Management (PM) UI application.
The font is applied to a field that is converted from a number to a text using the CStr formula in Crystal Reports XI in order to display the value as a barcode.
The barcode on the report is converted successfully in the PM UI 100% of the time. However the business tries to print the report using the print or the export the report functions and the barcode is not converted 100% of the time into a barcode only the value of the field displays.
The font is installed on the server that the business accesses and I have installed the font on the web server for our testing environment, but it still does not aide with fixing the issue.
Does anybody have any experience with this issue?
Thank you

Code39Wide-Regular Fonts in the crystal report cannot be embedded with PDF

Hello ,
Good Day!
We are using Code39Wide-Regular Fonts in the crystal report for bar codes. While converting this report to the PDF format from Crystal viewer, we are getting the following error. It seems like this particular font cannot be embedded with PDF format.
Error - Failed to Export the report
Code39Wide-Regular- Font is not allowed to be embeded in document,
File - F:\Apps\9.40\Crystal\sfc\jobprtx.rpt
How can we solve this issue permanantly (Not a workaround )?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Philip, Due to licensing issues CR cannot embed licensed fonts in a PDF file. Your only work around is to export the report to editable Word format and then open the file in Word 2007 and get the export to PDF plug-in available from Microsoft.
This will not be fixed in this or upcoming version of CR.
Thank you

Windows 7, 64 bit support to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP5

Will the Windows 7, 64 bit support to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP5 be added?
Moving to CR 12 is the only solutions?
What are the options?
regards,
Srini

Hi Srini,
No, XI R2 is getting close to legacy mode so no new OS platforms will be added unless some large Partner requests it. Cr 12 is the only option, R2 will likely anyways. It wont be officially supported but it should work.
Thank you
Don

Where is the Tech Support for Crystal Reports

Where is the technical support for Crystal Reports? I have just been through one of the worst technical supports circles in my entire career - this phone# to that phone# and only to be told you cannot talk to a Tech Support person. My dilema for anyone that can help - I am using Crystal Report 2008. I have mapped to a database in MS Access 2002. I copied the database to my desktop and created a test report. I can see the fields in the Field Explorer. I have dragged the fields onto the report and they are visible in Design View. I can see the data in the fields when I browse the fields. In the Preview View I do not see any data what-so-ever. I have not changed any defaults and have not suppressed or hidden information. The $1M question: Why can't I see the data on my report? I never had the problem when I used Crystal Reports v8.

The datasource shows my database. I believe that is what you meant. No data. IT has asked me to ask ? if in the Control Panel DSN if we need some information there. I don't have a clue - I am just a report writer and not an IT person.

Hi Esha,
VS supports Managed Code now, using unmanaged C++ code may or may not work. As we've all told you, CR 6 is 12 years old now and it had no concept of Visual Studio 2010 or managed C+. It's still c+ so if you get it working then great, if not there is absolutely nothing we can do for you. There should be no reason it won't work as long as the C++ dependencies included with VS 2010 still supports 1997 VS 5/6 C++ runtime. If those dependencies are not available then Cr likely won't work.
For the last time, upgrade to CR for VS 2010 and move to CR Assemblies, you can still write and use CR in Managed C+, lots of people do, we don't have any samples for you though. Lot's of C# samples which is MS's replacement for unmanaged C+.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications
Bottom line is we can't Confirm if it will work, you are mixing 1998 and 2011 technologies so there is absolutely no guarantee from SAP this will ever work and you will never get one from SAP. You are on your own....
There are so many reasons why it likely won't work to list, OS's, DB clients, Windows Dependencies, SECURITY, to name a few that even if it did work does your Company want to sell and support something that if your users have issues there is no way of ever getting it fixed?
Seriously, It's time to talk to your Product team and catch up with current technologies and Crystal Reports.

Mail barcode support in Crystal Reports 2008 - does it really exist?

We are looking to add mail bar codes to our existing reports. The cover letter of the report includes a mailing label and we would like to add a mail bar code underneath it. I called 888-229-2276 yesterday and explained what I wanted to do. I was instructed to download a trial version from the website and take a look at the help as this feature was added in Crystal Reports 2008. The help didn't explain much more than right click the fieled you want to bar code and select the Bar Code option listed. What this created was a regular bar code that looks like a UPC you would find in the grocery store. I tried both Azalea fonts, but got the same result.
How does one create an Intelligent Mail barcode or PostNet barcode?

Having dealt with both PostNet and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB), using CR XI R1, here are a couple of things that might shed some light:
1. PostNet and IMB are vastly different, so you choose which one you want to generate. PostNet requires some calculation based on the zipcode and/or zip+5 whereas IMB requires specific information such as Mailer ID etc assigned to your company by USPS.
2. You can download a PostNet font, which can be found on the web as shareware etc. IMB font can be downloaded from USPS for free. For more info on IMB check out [https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailmailpieces]
3. IMB is very specific to your company and as such requires a thorough understanding of the type of mail you will be sending and if it is bulk or BRM etc etc. It would be better to consult with the USPS customer rep for your company to determine if IMB is appropriate for you.
4. PostNet is a breeze compared to IMB. All you need do is determine if the barcode will be based on zip or zip+5 and delivery point codes which determines if the barcode will contain 32, 52 or 62 bars. You then download the font from the web and off you go. Information on how to calculate/generate PostNet barcodes is all over the internet, the key is downloading the font.
I bet it is all clear as mud but feel free to post if you have more questions.

Have you tried updating the printer drivers? or checking your Control Panel to see if the printer is setup correctly?

Support for Crystal Report XI runtime on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I was wondering if Crystal report XI runtime is supported on Windws Server 2008 R2.
I've found this url http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e06b8953-a62b-2d10-38b9-ca71f747e2b1?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&59511066859035
We are develping with .Net framework 2.0.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Roberto.

Hi Roberto,
By 'Crystal report XI runtime' if you mean CR 11.0, then it is not supported with Windws Server 2008 R2.
See the compatibility chart.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?original_fqdn=wiki.sdn.sap.com&pageId=56787567
The link you have referred is for Crystal Reprots for VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 which is the lates version of CR which provides the SDK.

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh

Flawed Support Offerings - Crystal Reports

Finding information on your web site is extremely cumbersome and awkward. I'm looking for solutions to ClickOnce deployment of Crystal Reports 2008. Searching forums gives me lots more questions, few answers. This kind of problem should be in a technical note or FAQ somewhere, where is it? or why not?
Downloaded files all seem to be corrupted (regardless of what browser you use.) example ClickOnce Fix 1.6 and 1.7
If you actually get a non-corrupt file, there are no instructions contained within on what to do with it.
Crystal Reports contains an auto-update feature. But it doesn't seem to work!
Were can I find useful information on ClickOnce deployment of Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 within a Visual Studio 2008 application? Where are valid non-corrupt files? Where should these files be placed? Should deployument files be "download from the vendor" or downloaded from the deployment directory?
Edited by: Shane Brodie on Sep 4, 2009 6:35 PM

Hi Shane,
For your download problems try using a download manager, it may be that it was interupted and caused a byte to get altered.
Could also be the site has problems, try again.
With the changes to the support sites those links in CR Designer simply re-direct to the way SAP supports downloads. They are still there, just a different way to get them.
As for documentation you will find it under the BusinessObjects tab above and the Articles. We now separate the file from the info. Just select the Product and version and you'll find all the info you are looking for. Do not use IE 8, it's a known issue with this version.
Thank you for your feedback. I'll pass it onto those who manage the site.

Code 128 Font included with Crystal Reports?

We are currently running Crystal Reports v11.5. We are attempting to print out work orders through Sage Mas 500 software, which uses Crystal Reports to print out the documents. I was under the impression that Crystal Reports came with the barcode font Code 128.
My question is, did it indeed come with a font for Code 128 in order to generate barcodes? And if so, where can I find this font located at to install (Perhaps an option I'm overlooking during the install or the Program Files after the install)?
Thanks,
Jason
