Format change when report open in report expert

Hi all,
I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
Thanks

The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below.
While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine. I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK.
However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off. The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field." All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column.
When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces. I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0.

Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
Thanks kindly for your assistance,
-Marty

I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
Thanks!

Setting always change when i open ms word on my pc..

why every time I make a setting with ms word for mac always change when I open it with ms word program on your pc?

Why would you expect a setting in one program on one operating system to affect the setting in another program on another operating system? I likely did not understand your issue from your description. Or do you mean for example if you create a document using red for the type color that the color changes to another color when you open the document in another installation of Word?
I suggest you ask in the Office for Mac forums. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

Format changing when IDCS3 file exported to PDF

I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options, we are required to do it this way where I work), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least. Many of these are also multi-line and not using the indents means we have to manually tab lines over.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?
I tried posting in the Acrobat forums and it was suggested since it's an export issue that I might get more help from the InDesign folks.

Given that the file is being exported to PDF and not going via a driver route, there really is no reason why changing the default printer should make a difference whatsoever in this particular case. Changing default drivers in Microsoft Office applications, yes, but for this situation, no. And since Acrobat doesn't change formatting, the issue sounds like some problem associated with InDesign. Please report this problem directly to Adobe Tech Support and be prepared to send them sample files. Thanks!

FM 10 xref format changes when updating file

I'm authoring in structured FM 10 using a DITA 1.2 application on Windows 7, but working with FM documents rather than XML files. I was having problems updating cross-references in my existing (structured FM 7.2) files after upgrading to FM 10 -- FM was changing all xref formats to DITA Default Format, which blew away all of my defined formats. So I opened one of the standard structured templates included with FM 10 (DITA_1.2/app/technicalContent/template/topic.template.fm), thinking that I set up my structured application incorrectly.
I know I must be missing something simple, but this is what happens when I create and update a cross-reference:
Using the unmodified structured template and the unmodified DITA 1.2 application that comes with FM 10, add an fm-xref element.
Using the DITA-Cross-Reference dialog box, create the xref (doesn't matter if it's an internal or external xref).
Select See_Title_and_Page xref format. Xref looks fine in the source document.
Select Edit > Update Reference, and select All Cross-References.
When I click Update, FM updates the xref but changes the xref format to DITA Default Format. I can see that the See_Title_and_Page format included in the template uses the <$paratext> building block instead of <$elemtext>, but I can't delete or modify this format and I can't create a new xref format, either, since the DITA Cross-Reference dialog box doesn't give me those options.
However, if I create a new FM book and add this file to it, and then select Edit > Update Book, and select All Cross-References, FM updates the xref and maintains the xref format I chose.
So, why does updating a file remove the selected formats from all xrefs and replace them with DITA Default Format, while updating a book does what I'd expect (and what FM has always done)? And why can't I modify an xref format using the template/DITA 1.2 application that comes with FM10?
Thanks for any assistance.
--Steve

Hi Saurabh,
Thanks for the reply. I guess it's reassuring to know that the automatic reformatting of xrefs by FM isn't due to something I've overlooked. As long as there's a workaround, I'll keep updating xrefs from a book. Not a great workflow, but it won't block our writing for now.
On the other issue: Thanks, I do know how to edit xref formats and import them from a template. My confusion, however, stems from two things:
I can't edit xref formats in the DITA Cross-Reference dialog box, which is all you see if you're using the DITA 1.2 template that ships with FM 10. I can edit the formats from the Cross-Reference dialog box, but I can't figure out how to access that when using Adobe's template. Adding a new xref or selected an existing one just activates the DITA dialog box, which doesn't have an Edit Format option (shouldn't it? wouldn't you want to be able to edit those formats? or do you always have to do that from one of the application files?).
The DITA Default Format won't go away. In my own docs (DITA 1.1 FM files), I can get to the Cross-Reference dialog box and edit xref formats. If I delete the DITA Default Format, save the file, close it, and then reopen it, the unwanted DITA Default Format is back. I can reapply the formats and element defintitions from the template as much as I like, but any time the file is reopened the deleted format reappears. It won't die, and I have no idea where it's coming from (definitely not the template or the EDD, which I've checked and reimported). Is this some odd default behavior of ditafm_app.dll?
Again, thanks for responding.

I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

Why does the format change when i share a presentation?

I develop a presentation in Keynote in my Imac. I then place it in a flash drive and pass the presentation to my MacBook. When I open it, all the fonts are changes, it has added bullets, the sizes have changes and many of the pictures are gone. I have the same fonts installed in both computers. How can I stop this?

I can't even see where that setting is.. for my information all the footage is from a GoPro so what I've had to do is convert them to .mov and Apple ProRes 422 now. Now when I have them in final cut the samples in 'All Clips' and in the time line look ok in till I hover over them and then they have the red hint again, they do how ever export the right colour now but this is going to make colour correction difficult

Hue of monitor changes when Aperture opens

For quite sometime now, whenever I open Aperture or Final Cut pro the hue of my screen changes. I have the desktop set for solid gray, I think it's medium. But when either of the two programs open the hue chages and I have a blueish cast, the destop looks more like Aqua Graphite than solid gray.
My 17" MBP has the dual graphics cards. Intel HD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. I am thinking the hue shift happens when the card in use switches. I calibrate with a Spyder 3 and I am concerend that I have 2 very different calibrations and not sure which one is the calibrated one.
I have been playing around with Lightroom 5 Beta and when it opens there is no hue shift.
I have an external monitor also, but I am traveling right now and can't recall if this behavior is mirrored with it. I usually only have it on with editing software use.
I was going to post screen shots of the two different screens but to me they look identical when viewed on my screen, they both swiich hues depending on what software is running.
Any thoughts about whats going on here ?

To add to the info. If I switch the graphics card automatic switching of,f the screen goes to the blueish hue regardless of the software that is running. So it is a graphics card switching issue. Nothing at all to do with Aperture or FCP.
I'll be spending some time on one of the other forums to get to the bottom of this. For now switching off the automatic switching followed by a restart, then turning it back on gets it working correctly it appears. But for how long ???

Persistent prompt date format changes when reopening report in Webi

Hi all
I have a PERISTENT prompt that asks for a date when you run the report. The format is "MM/dd/yyyy". I also have a variable that displays this value in the form:
=ToDate(UserResponse([Query 1];"Please enter date:");"MM/dd/yyyy")
When the report is run the prompt works and you select the date from the calendar and all works fine. You can refresh the report and keep the persistent date prompt value if you like. Great.
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
On my report I get #ERROR associated with the above variable. This is because the peristent value in the prompt has been "re-loaded" in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a".
The only way I have found to resolve this is to refresh the report and reselect a date which makes the persistent prompt kind of useless if you close the report.
Any suggestions on solving this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
When opening the report in something other than modify, does the problem also occur? I too have noticed different behavior with persistent date prompts and whether running in modify or Infoview modes. Most deployments do not give their users the ability to run a public report in modify mode (though, possibly they could copy it to their own Favorites and run it in modify mode there). So perhaps this "problem" is by design and is resolved by running the report in the more common Infoview mode?
Thanks,
John

Headers and footer formatting changes when word docs are loaded to pages

I have loaded template word documents from my Imac to ipad pages. If I turn around and email the template out, the heading formatting has changed.
Is there a list of specific fonts I can import word-docs with to not do this?
Also, when I click on the document in pages to change the header, it has three sections, Can I combine the sections to make 1 or 2 sections?

Hi, I have a similar problem with Word (.doc) files containing a Table converted to Pages. Having read that Pages can convert from Word, I bought iWork instead of Office for Mac. I need to work on Word documents sent to me as attachments and find that Tables do not survive the conversion to Pages properly. Often the text within a Table is shown but, if a lengthy text (i.e. more than a page), the Table does not continue to the next page and the text becomes hidden below the visible Table. If I cut out some text from the middle of the Table, the missing text is revealed, progressively from the bottom of the Table. In other words, the text is there in the document but cannot be seen if it is more than can be fitted on one page. Any ideas on how to sort this? I am not encouraged that iWork 09 does not appear to help in a similar problem to mine.

Old Iphoto book was changed when I opened it. How to revert back?

I have 2 previous Iphoto books that I made and now I have Iphoto11. When I clicked to open one of the books, Iphoto11 totally changed the book and made it into a new version. How do I get the old version back the way I had it?

You can't. Evidently the themes that you had used in the previous version of iPhoto are not available in iPhoto 11. The only way you can get that particular theme back is if you have a backup copy of the older library and can install and run the previous verson of iPhoto. However, depending on the version of iPhoto, you may not be able to order a copy.

Modified date changes when just opening PM file

We use modified dates frequently at my business. We have lots of things that reoccur only once a year, and we'd like to keep the file dates listed as such in the folder views.
All the sudden, however, Pagemaker files have started updating the modified date to the moment you touch the file, even if you make no changes. If you open it, it now becomes today's date & current time. It's really messing up our method of doing things.
It's not happening with any of our CS4 files, or any Microsoft Office files. Also, it's only happening on files stored on the server. It doesn't happen when we do a test of saving a Pagemaker file locally. The problem is, we don't store anything locally. Everything is stored on the server so everyone can access the file and so it's backed up.
We have a Windows based computer environment but an Apple server with OS 10.3.8 (Tiger--- yeah, I know, old, but it's as far as we can update that server at this time and are looking at getting a new one sometime, but it might be a year or so.)
The "modified date" problem has taken place only in the past 2 weeks. We have not done anything significant for changes or updates for quite a while on either the local computer or server ends. We restarted the server recently just to refresh things, and also added another user to the server and set some permissions for that user in the past 2 weeks.
What could be causing this all of the sudden, and how can it be fixed?

Acrobat 9 makes PDF versions 4.0 and higher. You need a PDF version 5.0 to handle transparencies well. PDF version 4.0 doesn't handle transparency effects well at all.
Pagemaker needs Acrobat 5 to be able to directly export PDF's with custom job settings. It only generates a PDF version 4.0, but works for our needs in Pagemaker.
I choose to keep both Distiller versions to make our work easier. When you have 20 ads open in Pagemaker, and you send the first one as a postscript through the print window, it sets up the "File, Export" in Pagemaker to use the correct PDF job setting, and then you can just do "File, Export to PDF" for the next 19 ads and it makes perfect PDF's. Works slick instead of having to make postscripts of all 20 ads first and then run them through Distiller. If you only have Distiller 9 installed, it doesn't let you select any custom job settings from your Distiller. Crazy, I know, but that's what I've figured out we have to do to get it to work. Have to have Distiller 5.0 to control PDF settings in Pagemaker and still be able to export from the file menu directly to PDF.
Distiller 9 is used for all other more advanced design pieces created in InDesign or Photoshop that are saved as a postscript first and PDF's are made the long way in those cases (running postscript through Distiller 9 at the end).

Modification Date changes when updating Open With?!?!

Forgive me if this is mentioned elsewhere. I have been searching these forums and not seen this problem.
If I do a 'Get Info' on a file in the Finder and change the application it opens with, the Modification Date changes to 'now'. Why in the world would this happen? This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file. I am simply changing the OS's metadata about which app to use. This info isn't even stored in the file itself, as evidenced by burning such an document to a CD or moving it through a network server then opening it on a machine with different default apps for certain extensions.
Is this just another wacky step backwards in the world of the Apple OS X Finder, or am I missing a way to avoid this?
PowerMac G5 2.5DP Mac OS X (10.4.3)

This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file.
Actually, I am using "Panther" now, and can confirm that changing the application to be used to open an individual file through "Get Info" does in fact change the modification date.
When the "Change all" button is used, the modification date of other files of that type won't be affected by this change since that modification is presumably made somewhere in the "Launch Services" database to set the "default" application to be used for that file type. Perhaps this is what you were thinking of.
However, for that first file (or any file changed individually), the file is in fact modified, and the "Open with" information is stored with the file, in its "resource fork". Usually, a 'usro' resource (specifying the application) and an 'icns' resource (for the app's custom icon for that file type) are added. You can try this yourself - drag any image from Safari.app to the "Desktop" and open the info window for that image - such images usually don't have a "resource fork". Make note of the file's size, then change the "Open with" application. You should immediately see an increase in the file's size (to account for the addition of the "resource fork") accompanied by an update of the file's modification date to reflect this modification.
