Fonts when sending Reports via Printer Option (10g Reports / Redhat 5)

When I send a Oracle 10g report to the printer, which PPD file is it using? The printer you install on the server or the one in ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory?
I installed a printer on the Linux Server and copied the file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. I added some new fonts in the PPD so that the report would pick some Windows fonts that didn't exist originally on the Linux. I installed the fonts on the server and am able to see them in PDF Output options on the server.
When I send the report with the same parameters to the printer directly, it doesn't see those fonts. I only modified the PPD for that printer on ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. So I was wondering if I have to do it on the installed server file as well or not.
Any help is appreciated.

This was a response that I received from Oracle Support. Basocally, I'd have to install the font in the internal printer memory to get this to work.
Is there a way to send a Report to PDF in Oracle Forms and then at the same time once that PDF is generated, send it to the printer (without user interaction). That would take care of my problem. That would take care of my printing issue. I know PDF's work and I know I can print them displaying the fonts just fine.
Support Response:
Fonts need to be present in the PPD file as well as the internal printer memory .
Reason is as follows.
1)Based on PPD file , Font metrics will be used to create thye PS file with the correct font names.
2)When the PS file is sent to the the printer, actual fonts are not sent . Note that this is a limitation of Oracle Reports PS driver on unix and . Hence, it is required to have a printer that has the fonts installed in its memory/system.
Currently there is an internal pending enhancement request to upgrade the Postscript driver of Oracle Reports

Put logo in ABAP list/smallest font when sending to spool

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement. I did a ABAP list, not ALV, classic one, I also send it to spool and then convert to pdf and download to pc.
Now our customer wants a logo for it, also as the report is long, when print it or downloading it to pdf, some of parts are missing. So they say that can't we take it in smallest fonts??
So is it possible to place logo for a classic ABAP list and is it possible to send it in smallest fonts when sending to spool or downloading to pdf??
I will be pleased for your replies.
Thanks.

Hi,
ABAP lists are simple reports with just rows and columns with text only. it is not possible to put a graphic into an ABAP list. For graphics, you need to use a sapscript form or smartform to create the spool.

Aidan

Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?
Thanks!

Printing Oracle 10g Reports in Line Matrix Printers

Hello!
I encountered problem when printing a generated report in Oracle 10g Reports to a Line Printer. When the report is in PDF format, the fonts when printed on line printers become scattered and the orientation of the report rotates 90 degrees. If I use HTMLCSS format, the pages are not of fixed size. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

1. Setup CUPS Printing Environment in Linux / Unix (on many modern Linux systems, CUPS is the default Printing System at the moment). The details of setup / build of CUPS is beyond the scope of this article. For details, please visit CUPS sites and documentation :
http://www.cups.org
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
The setup of CUPS is complete for our purposes, once you are able to print PDF documents directly from unix shell as follows :
$ PRINTER=yourprinter
$ export PRINTER
$ lp test.pdf
OR
$ lpr test.pdf
* The "yourprinter" above should be substituted with the name of your printer queue defined in CUPS and "test.pdf" is any pdf document available on this server.
2. In reports.sh, set the following parameter and restart the Report Server:
REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING=YES; export REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING
3. Setup PDF functionality (including Font Subsetting / Embedding etc) to display the output as required in PDF format. To check this, run the report with the option "...destype=cache&desformat=PDF...".
4. Run the report with parameters "...&desformat=PDF&destype=printer&desname=yourprinter&...."
This way, Reports Server generates a PDF file in cache and sends it to CUPS printer queue, ie the "desformat=pdf" option is no longer ignored with "destype=printer".

Sending variables via the e-mail report

I don't have an LMS, so I'm sending via e-mail some courses to my coworkers and getting their answers via the e-mail report, one of the problems with this is that I cannot validate name, last name, user's e-mail, and business unit automatically.
Once I get the answers I copy and paste the results in Excel in order to do the grading and analysis, I do it this way because the Quiz results analyzer either gives only the final grade or shows each anser student by student.
The way I solved this before was adding a question slide for each field and making them survey questions, the issue with this is that the users need to fill 4 or 5 fields and if I use questions it also means 4 or 5 pages.
Is there a way to fill this information using Text Entry Boxes and sending the content via the e-mail report using variables?
As far as I know this was not possible in previous versions of Captivate, I just upgraded to 5.5
Thanks

Hi Zameer,
Are you talking about an interactive report or a normal classic report and enabling printing on that?

"Rend Error" when sending image via iChat/AIM

On my brand new iMac aluminum, I am unable to send, and friends are unable to send, images via iChat AIM 3.1.8 (V445). When either of us try to send, we get the message "An undefined AIM error has occured. The server message was: Rend: Error"
I then spin around and use my old G4 iMac to send an image - no problem. My buddy is also able to send to me, no problem.
Both computers are connected to the same Linksys WRT54G router. When I searched for the term 'rend' only one thread came back which suggested to change the port from 5190 to 443. I did this and it didn't help.
Any other suggestions?

Hi Craig,
In the Linksys set up pages you have Application and Gaming (Which is where I think you are talking about)
In there there are several options.
Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, DMZ (possibly UPnP Forwarding and QoS)
Disable any Port Forwarding or Port Triggering. DO not use the DMZ.
Save settings. (you should still have Web browsing and Mail abilities).
GO to the Administration tab on the top row.
Enable UPnP.
Save Settings.
UPnP allows multiple computers to use the same ports.
This way the Linksys can be left doing DHCP if you wish and it will not matter if your computer gets a new IP every now and then. Also the Ports are opened by the application and close after a timed period of non use.
You can limit the "Hops" to the number of devices the computer is from the Linksys (1 ?) to make it more secure.
On the main set up page you could limit the the DHCP range to the number of computers you have to prevent outside connections.
The ports you describe so far are only the TExt chatting and file sending ports

The "database vendor error 556" indicates that the query to the database returned with error 556. It's vendor specific. Look up your database vendor's documented error codes, to see what 556 indicates.
Doing a bit of googling looks like the issue is that the ODBNC datasource does not exist. Remember that there are 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC datasources. If your app is 32 bit, the DSN must be 32 bit, if it is compiled as 64 bit the DSN must be 64 bit.

Surname not recognized when sending mail via FM

Hi SDN,
I am on WAS 6.20. SRM System.
I have a BSP, which sends mail via FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
when putting a normal dialog user in the ICF Service of the BSP I get a mail in my email client, which shows as sender the forename, surname of the corresponding SU01 SAP User. When putting service user in the ICF service the sender, which shows up in my email-client is always 'www' even though I changed fore- and surname of this service user. Why is that?
regards, matthias

I am with you. I think they still have a dud server in their farm and when you get it you get the error message. How to get to level two support is the trick I think.

When sending document to printer it now says waiting

when sending photos or document to my printer, i now get a message in my print center that says waiting. I have been able to print

What you see at the top of the iTunes window is usually the name of the folder where your "iTunes Library.itl" file resides (that is your main library file). By default that folder name is "iTunes" and that's why you'd see it displayed, not because that is the name of the program.
But now with "Library.xml" showing I wonder if you re-built your library by opening your .xml file? Just for kicks, you might hold the Shift key as you launch iTunes and select "Choose Library" at the prompt, then navigate to where your "iTunes Library.itl" file resides and see what comes up.

Iphone 5 crops picture when send it via text message.to with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side. Any help?

I have iphone 5 and when I take picture and then later send it via text message to another person with iphone 5 the photo they get is always cropped on the right side. Any help?

Make sure the contact has a 10-digit number, not just the 7-digit number.
If that isn't it, does the problem only happen with iMessages, SMS or MMS messages?
Try tapping Settings > Messages, then turn SMS and MMS off. Test, then repeat again only leaving SMS or MMS on.
