Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

Generate PDF file from a report using greek characters

Dear all,
I tried to generate a PDF file from a Report having greek characters on it.While in previewer I could see everything OK, when PDF file was generated all greek characters had been substituted by symbols...
Any ideas, suggestions and workarounds are welcome.
Thanx a lot!

hi Kiriakos,
which version are you using ?
please test this with reports 9i since PDF support
has been enhanced there.
to test i would suggest to run the report from rwclient
as well and specify desformat=pdf and to a generate to
file within builder to see if the same behavior occurs.
if this problem reproduces there as well i suggest
to contact oracle support to log the problem.

Creating a PDF-File from a report within a service

Hello,
I have to create PDF-Files from a report within a windows service.
My source is as follows (quick and dirty) using Microsoft Report Viewer 2012
Imports Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms
Dim reportViewer1 As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer()
Dim objRDLC As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalReport()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "MyApplication.MyReport.rdlc"
Dim deviceInfo As String = "<DeviceInfo>" & _
"<OutputFormat>PDF</OutputFormat>" & _
"<PageWidth>21cm</PageWidth>" & _
"<PageHeight>29.7cm</PageHeight>" & _
"<MarginTop>0.7cm</MarginTop>" & _
"<MarginLeft>0.7cm</MarginLeft>" & _
"<MarginRight>0cm</MarginRight>" & _
"<MarginBottom>0cm</MarginBottom>" & _
"</DeviceInfo>"
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
'Fill Report with data
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource("dsInfo", dt))
reportViewer1.RefreshReport()
'Output Report as File
Dim byteViewer As Byte() = reportViewer1.LocalReport.Render("PDF", deviceInfo)
Dim newFile As New FileStream("MyFileName", FileMode.Create)
newFile.Write(byteViewer, 0, byteViewer.Length)
newFile.Close()
'Clean up
newFile.Dispose()
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
objRDLC.Dispose()
reportViewer1.Dispose()
In most cases everything works fine.
But the service crashes after some/many reports (e.g. after 270 reports or after 1.400 reports). There is no fix number of reports that causes the service to crash.
The service crashes with the following error:

Unfortunately, it is not a piece of code that I can send. The SQL would be embedded inside Oracle Reports tool, and you would have the option to save the output of the report in PDF format.
Once you have the Oracle Report developed, you can execute it from command line prompt and save the output to a pdf file. In your case, the cursor would be embedded inside Oracle Report

Generating delimited file from a report in reports 6i gives error rep-1814

Hi all,
We are using reports 6i.
We have a report from which we are trying to generate a delimited file.
We are encounterign the error REP-1814 The object vertically can never fit.
After looking into forums we came to know that there is something like DELIMITED_HDR should be set to NO..
Also we observe dthat this is done using th following command
set_report_object_property('exp039r', null,
' DELIMITER=tab' ||
'DELIMITED_HDR=no');
We tried doing that but, it is not working. Is there anything we should do to get it work.
Thanks and Regards,
Hima

When trying to generate pdf file from firefox 7.0.1 , getting corrupt content error, used to work with previous versions of firefox

We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users. One of our users upgraded to firefox version 7.0.1 and they tried to generate a pdf report, now a screen pops up with Corrupted Content Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected. I recreated this issue on my pc yesterday by installing firefox 7.0.1. Any hints as to what I need to look at would help. Cannot provide the url because it is a secure website for law enforcement. Thanks.

You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

How to generate PDF file from HTML file using Acrobat API's

Hi,
I want to generate a PDF file from an HTML file on server side(C# .Net).
Their is a COM interop called "AcrobatWeb2PDF" availaible but could not find any document regarding how to use it.
I cant use "Adobe live cycle PDF Generator" as we just have license for Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.
Please help...
Thanks and Regards,
Anand Mahadik.

> It is hard to believe that Adobe doesn't provide a toolkit for generating PDF files, so many web based applications have vector based content that needs to be converted to PDF!!!!
They do, it's just not free (A company in business to make money? I'm sure IBM would never think this way... ;)). As mentioned you have Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator, which you can customize and extend with Java. You also have the Adobe PDF Library SDK, which is written for use with C/C++ although if you license it from Datalogics (the only company in NA Adobe allows to license the PDF Library) you will also get .NET and Java interfaces (part of the DLE - DataLogics Extensions).
> There must be a way to generate PDF dynamically on a server or from Javascript!
JavaScript? Not really, no. As far as I'm aware JavaScript has no file system access capabilities without some form of intermediary (like sending the data to a webservice that writes it out to file). How would you create a PDF file with JavaScript?
The PDF Standard is also in ISOs hands now (ISO 32000-1:2008), it is no longer owned by Adobe - you can download a copy of the specification from them and write your own library based on that as well.
