Generating .pdf file from Reports Builder 10g

Hi,
I made a report in Reports Builder 10g and every label and field I set, but when I print the report throw reports builder field are displaced randomly, i.e. they are not where I set them in paper layout. In print preview everything is OK, but when I print it everything(fields) is in the mess. Please help.

APEX doesn't output PDF natively, so you have to use an external report server for this. There's a link on apex.oracle.com entitled PDF Printing that discusses the options.

  • Unable to generate PDF file from reports

    Hi,
    After running the report when I tried to generate the output to pdf file, I see the number of pages being generated again, I dont see any file being created although it prompts for the file name. Any suggestions
    Thanks in Advance

    I dont see any output pdf file being generated, I have seen in all the folders and when I click the Generate to File option, it prompts me for the file name and the path for the file and then the report runs again on the screen instead of generating the file.
    Thanks in Advance

  • 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!

    The second question is about the usage of iTextSharp library, which is not a MS product, please post in their forum for help:

    hi,
    regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
    but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
    In the report you should set the properties like
    destype to 'file'
    desname to 'path with file name'
    desformat to 'pdf'

  • 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.

    Hi (datasci),
    You can create a linked server in SSMS, then create a procedure to join three sheets. Then you can call the procedure in a dataset.
    As we tested in our environment, we create a linked server and the procedure like below:
    --linked server
    EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
    @server = 'ExcelServer',
    @srvproduct = 'Excel',
    @provider = 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',
    @datasrc = 'c:\Book3.xls.xlsx', -- the path in the server where SQL server locates
    @provstr = 'Excel 12.0;IMEX=1;HDR=YES;'
    EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'ExcelServer', 'false'--, 'sa', 'Admin', null
    go
    --procedure
    CREATE PROC proce2
    as
    SELECT a.Name,a.Amount,b.PtNo,b.value,c.Gender
    FROM ExcelServer...[Sheet1$] as a
    left join ExcelServer...[Sheet2$] as b on a.Name =b.Name
    left join ExcelServer...[Sheet3$] as c on c.PtNo =b.PtNo
    Then we call the procedure in the dataset, we get the expected result:
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • 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.

  • Generating PDF-files from HTML-page saved as Unicode?

    I have followed this Quick Start on how to generate a PDF-file from HTML using web services in .NET: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000093.html
    It works just fine when the html-page is saved as ANSI, but when it's saved as UNICODE I get problem. The code runs without errors but the PFD looks really strange. Any suggestions on how to solve this? I really need to use UNICODE as my application needs to handle different languages (including for example Chinese).

    I found out that UTF-8 worked as well so the problem is solved. :-)
