I use a SQL server DataBase on Windows server 2003 with service pack 2. i use Crystal Report 10 with ODBC connection. I read that the nice DLL is "Crdb_odbc.dll".I saw a VB code "How to format a text object" on this site :http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=crxiTechrefenpdf&sliceId=&dialogID=7686352&stateId=1%200%207680692--' Create a new instance of the report.Dim oReport As New CrystalReport1Private Sub Form_Load()' Declare a TextObject object.Dim oTextObject As CRAXDRT.TextObject' Declare a generic Object.Dim oObject As Object' Declare a Section object.Dim oSection As CRAXDRT.Section' This variable is set to true once the' text object is found.Dim bText As BooleanbText = False' Search for all the report objects in each section.For Each oSection In oReport.SectionsFor Each oObject In oSection.ReportObjects' Find the first text object.If oObject.Kind = crTextObject Then' Get the text object and exit the loop.Set oTextObject = oObjectbText = TrueExit ForEnd IfNext oObjectIf bText Then Exit ForNext oSection' Format the text object and change the text.With oTextObject.BackColor = vbYellow.BorderColor = vbRed.BottomLineStyle = crLSDoubleLine.CanGrow = True.CharacterSpacing = 125.CloseAtPageBreak = True.FirstLineIndent = 25.Font.Italic = True.Font.Bold = True.Font.Size = 14.HasDropShadow = True.Height = 900.HorAlignment = crLeftAlign.KeepTogether = True.Left = 200.LeftIndent = 750.LeftLineStyle = crLSDashLine.MaxNumberOfLines = 16.RightIndent = 250.RightLineStyle = crLSDotLine.Suppress = False.SuppressIfDuplicated = True.SetText "Hello World".TextColor = vbBlue.TextRotationAngle = crRotate0.Top = 25.TopLineStyle = crLSSingleLine.Width = 3000End With' Set the report source of the viewer and view the report.CRViewer1.ReportSource = oReportCRViewer1.ViewReportEnd SubSo, i would like to do the same thingswith winbatch language.

How to create a text object at runtime?

Hi,
I am using crystal reports for visual studio 2010 and using c# to programming.
I need to create a text object in a specific section like section 2. and also I need to control the text object's position and text.
I tried to move a object like:
reportDocument1.ReportDefinition.Sections[j].ReportObjects<i>.Left = 0x8760;
but object's position doesn't change at all.
How can I do these (create a text object and change a object postion)?
Thanks

Hi Don,
Thank you.
I have downloaded a RAS ( report application Server ) sample.
The sample uses the Business Objects Enterprise XI release 2. I am using win 7 and crystal reports for vs2010. Can I use this version of crystal reports to create a text object at runtime? If not, what is the lowest version I have to purchase to achieve what I want?
Basicly I need following capabilities at runtime:
1) craete text objects, line objects, image objects.
2) change text object, line object and image object positions, sizes, values of text object. If can I like to be able to change font as well.
3) supress objects, sections.
4) change section's height

How to work with text objects in b2b frontend

Hi,
My functional team has assigned new text ids "0012","Z005" and "Z025" in text object "CRM_ORDERH"
and text procedure "ZORDER02".
Now they want me to add five new text input fields to b2b order creation page and they want the data entered by customer to be saved under these text ids.
Suppose there are five fields A,B,C,D and E.Now they want me to send the contents of A under "0012"
and concatenation of rest of four fields to "Z005" and "Z025".
I have no clues what all I need to do.Can anyone please let me know what all I need to write and how to get this requirement done.
Thanks in advance

Hi Laxman,
Thanks for the quick turn around.
I dont get it in the get_head method. I am doing a crm_order_read and reading the output text table.
It has two text ids instead of three which i updated in change_head method.
I checked in debugging in the text_maintIn_ow function module and
i saw that this text id was failing to get updated , the message "Z* text id not maintained in procedure Z100001'. This procedure is assigned to TA and the text id id not assigned to TA. The process type is still TA the first time CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN is called along with these extension updates. So the text maintain function gets the control data for TA and not for the ZPRO process type.
I have all the text ids maintained for process type ZPRO.
Here is the code when the user selects the process type ZPRO in ISA from the basket page.
And in our case we dont have any payment method page in ISA after this selection.
Code:
Change_head
READ TABLE ct_orderadm_h INTO ls_orderadm_h INDEX 1.

Do you know how to change the Text Object for Billing Document?

Hi,
If you execute Transaction VOTX or VOTXn it will take you to Text Determination. The Billing Doc & Sales Document both has the VBBK as Text Object for me and is it like that for all.
I need to change the Text Object to VBRK for Billing Doc, which is the ideal because I am using the Function Module READ_TEXT to retrieve text. This work perfectly for Sales Document which has VBBK as Text Object, but does not work for Billing Doc where it through as error message saying Text 0020000021 ID 0002 language EN not found.
Thank You
Kishan

Hi kishan,
For updating these text you can use FM 'SAVE_TEXT'.
As for your problem, to get the parameter you need, go to the billing document, go to the text, and display it in plain page mode.
Then you do 'GO TO' -> 'HEADER', and a pop-up window open with the parameters you need Obect type, ID, Name, ...

How to convert a text object to a Group?

There are some text object present on Adobe Illustrator document. Each text object is required to convert in individual group, so that some entities can be inserted under those objects turned groups.
In the APIs available with AI SDK, there can not be found an API to have the conversion directly. There is a provision of 'ReleaseToLayer' but it will not serve the purpose.
Will it be possible to have such coversion?
OR
It will also do, if a Group is created and the text object is able to be moved under the Group.
Is there any API to create a 'Group' ?

I'm not quite following what you're trying to do exactly, but I'm sure there's a way to do it.
You can create a group using the AIArtSuite (NewArt). You can iterate through a text object using the objects found in IText.hpp. You can load an IText object using the functions in AITextFrame.h (usually GetATETextRange). If you're trying to break up parts of text into separate groups, you'll have to do that manually using these APIs. If that's not what you're trying to do, I'm afraid I'm just not understanding your explanation; maybe you can try and clarify it.

How to format bold text in SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method?

Hi Gurus,
I'm using the SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method of SELFITEM object to send a message to an user's inbox in SBWP tx.
The description task has formatted text in bold using <H>Example</>. But at moment to display the message in user's inbox the text appears plane, without bold characters.
How can I do to display the text formatted in bold?

Hi Gurus,
I debuged the method and found that the text is sent without format (ASCII).
The method used the FM SWU_GET_TASK_TEXTLINES and only obtain the "ascii_text_lines" table:
CALL FUNCTION 'SWU_GET_TASK_TEXTLINES'
EXPORTING
    task              = workitem_task
    usage             = 'W'
    linewidth         = line_width
    language          = send_language
    container_handle = wi_container
TABLES
    ascii_text_lines = text_lines
EXCEPTIONS
    wrong_usage       = 01
    text_not_found    = 02
    text_system_error = 03.
This is the reason because the method don't sent the text in bold.
One option is to create a subtype object with a method to send the email in HTML format (Thanks for Pavel García for this tip)

How to format body text using CL_DOCUMENT_CLS ?

I am using classes CL_DOCUMENT_BCS and CL_BCS to send email with a PDF attachment. The email has several lines of text in the body. It functions properly. The messages are appearing in MS Outlook. The emails are type "PLAIN TEXT".
The following code is used-
document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
                i_type    = 'RAW'
                i_text    = lt_text
                i_subject = lv_subject ).
LT_TEXT is define as TYPE BCSY_TEXT. This is a table of lines that are 255 characters each.
Each line in LT_TEXT is a new line in the email. I want to format the body of the email, eliminating the forced "newlines", and allow it to wrap based on the recipient's window size. Some lines should start a new paragraph.
How can I control this?
I tried using
i_type = 'EXT'
This sent an email of type "HTML". This is better, but it sent the body text as another attachment. The email had no text in the body.
Ideas?
Do I need to use the I_HEX parameter?

Hi
Take a table as mentioned below.
GT_OBJTXT LIKE SOLISTI1
       OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,      " Mail Text options
and populate the data that you want to print as body in this table line by line.
Formating/allignment only can be done while populating the table. U have to check the mail and keep adjusting the allignment.
And after populating send the table to one table parameter in funciton module that is...
            CONTENTS_TXT               = LT_OBJTXT.
This will populate the mail body.

I don't think you need any loops and there is certainly no need o convert to numbers and back!
(scanning and formatting operations are expensive!)
Read the file as a plain string, then convert it to a 1D array of strings, one line per array element.
Reshape to a 2D array of proper dimensions and transpose to fill columns first.
Use spreadsheet string to array (now with tab as delimiter) to generate the desired string.
Write the string to a new file.
Here's a simple draft (LabVIEW 8.0). Look ma, no loops!
Modify as needed.

How to format the text in an XML file

This should be a fairly easy one. A fairly easy one that seems to be hard to actually find.
When I write out the XML file, it's all on a single line. Not a huge problem all things considered (it works), but an annoying one.
Here's the a snippet, to show what I'm doing. There's not enough information for this to actually compile, if one is so inclined, just comment out a bunch of things and have it write out aribitary data.
Is this a case where I just need to manually write the formating myself?
public void saveXML(File file){
        try{
            Document doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().
                newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
            //give that document a root
            Element root = doc.createElement("root");
            doc.appendChild(root);
            Command[] command=getCommands();
            for (int index=0; index < command.length; index++){
                Element element = doc.createElement("Command");
                root.appendChild(element);
                //get the name of the parser class this command should use
                String pName=command[index].getParser().getClass().getName();
                //remove everything but the last word
                pName=pName.substring(JavaMUServer.PARSER_PATH.length());
                //set the information.
                element.setAttribute("name",
                    command[index].getName());
                element.setAttribute("parser",pName);
                element.setAttribute("method",
                    command[index].getMethod().getName());
            TransformerFactory tFactory =TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
            StreamResult result = new StreamResult(
                new FileWriter(file));
            transformer.transform(source, result);
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
    }

Well, that helped quite a bit. Seems however when I set the indent property, rather then indenting it just makes new lines. Rather counter intuitive.
Here's the slightly modified code (changed one line really. Tried setting a few different properties.)
public void saveXML(File file){
        try{
            Document doc = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().
                newDocumentBuilder().newDocument();
            //give that document a root
            Element root = doc.createElement("root");
            doc.appendChild(root);
            Command[] command=getCommands();
            for (int index=0; index < command.length; index++){
                Element element = doc.createElement("Command");
                root.appendChild(element);
                element.appendChild(doc.createElement("sample"));
                //get the name of the parser class this command should use
                String pName=command[index].getParser().getClass().getName();
                //remove everything but the last word
                pName=pName.substring(JavaMUServer.PARSER_PATH.length());
                //set the information.
                element.setAttribute("name",
                    command[index].getName());
                element.setAttribute("parser",pName);
                element.setAttribute("method",
                    command[index].getMethod().getName());
            TransformerFactory tFactory =TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
            transformer.setOutputProperty("indent", "yes");
            //transformer.setOutputProperty("method", "xml");
            DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
            StreamResult result = new StreamResult(

How to format a text field for credit card numbers?

OK, I found this conversation, http://forums.adobe.com/message/3598185, that gave some useful insight, and I adapted the code presented in it to make sure the user types in a 16-digit number, and it tells them to do it right if they don't.
Here's my problem:
With the code as given, I can either get a single string of 16 digits (i.e.: 1234567890123456), or, I have to make the user manually type in the spaces to get the usual CC format (1234 5678 9012 3456).
What I'm hoping for is some code that will let me allow the user to simply type in 16 uniterrupted digits, but that will then display that entry in the expected format. (So, user types 1234567890123456, but the field once they tab or click out of it will show 1234 5678 9012 3456)
Here's the code I have thus far (like I said, copied alomst verbatim from the link above):
In the Format tab, under Custom Format Script:
function checkFormat(s) {
    if (!s) return true;
    var aRE = [
        /^\d{16}$/
    return AFExactMatch(aRE, s);
In the Format tab, under Custom Keystroke Script:
(function () {
     if (event.willCommit) {
         var isValid = checkFormat(event.value);
         if (!isValid) {
            app.alert("Please enter a valid 16 digit credit card number with no spaces or dashes.", 1);
            event.rc = false;
I'm sorry it's so simplistic. Though I've rooted around in other programming languages (HTML, C++), so I'm not a complete noob, I don't know anything about Java at all...
Thanks in advance!

Acrobat uses JavaScript and not the Java programing language.
Many script samples are for different variations of JavaScript and Adobe has its own variation.
Also if you make spaces or other white space characters part of the value, you need to remove them from the validation.
A custom validation script could be:
    var cardValid = function(cardNo){
    var sum = 0, iNum;
    for( var i in cardNo += '' ){
                    iNum = parseInt(cardNo[i]);
                    sum += i%2?iNum:iNum>4?iNum*2%10+1:iNum*2;
    return !(sum%10);
// process non-blank values
if(event.value != "") {
// strip blanks, "-", or "." from value
var cCardNumber = event.value.replace(/[- .]/g,"");
if(cardValid(cCardNumber) == false) {
app.alert("Invalid Number.\Please re-enter.", 1, 0, "Invalid card Number");
event.rc = false;
} // end not empty value

How to format the text in a Digital Signature for a PDF in landscape orientation?

I have a custom Digital Signature plug-in which prompts the user to enter few details on a dialog and then renders the signature. Now, the problem is for a page which has PDPageGetRotate value as 90. In this case, the entire content(text) in the signature is rendered reversed i.e its displayed upside down. However, for a page in portrait mode, i.e with rotation value as 0, signature is correctly displayed.
Can anybody help me by explaining which callback/method to use to frame the text appearance? I think there needs to be some change in the parameters passed to DigSigAPCreateLayeredStreamEx, am i correct?
Let me know any comments/suggestions on this issue of correctly rendering text in a digital signature for a rotated page.

Just setup the appropriate transformation matrix.

How to format text inside text boxes?

i'm sure there's a simple solution for this, but for the life of me, I can't find how to format the text (eg font type, size, colour, etc) inside a text box (one of the editing tools) in Acrobat 8 Standard.
Is it just not possible, or is it just a case of extreme ignorance?
Thanks for your help.
cheers

You may need to mark the text first after opening the text touchup tool. Then use ctrl-E or right click for the properties.

Text object gets deleted in Adobe Reader 11

In Adobe Acrobat X i was inserting text objects to one of the pdf . It opens properly in Adobe Reader 10, but in Adobe Reader 11, when I click on that PDF file, text objects which i have edited gets deleted.
Here is the source pdf file link which i am editing(http://incometaxsoft.com/pdf/Src.pdf)
This the pdf file link which is already edited and for which text gets deleted when double click on pdf in adobe reader 11(http://incometaxsoft.com/pdf/result.pdf)
So how can i prevent text object from deleting?

The problem is not only seen in Reader XI. It is also seen in Acrobat Pro 9 and 10. The problem is caused by incorrect modifications to the PDF.
It breaks this principle: if software creates an appearance stream for a "standard" annotation it must match the standard appearance of the annotation exactly. Software which supports annotation is free to use EITHER the appearance stream OR the annotation dictionary to show it on screen, and it is not predictable which one is used.
The problem is that the original PDF contains a "FreeText" annotation with the text "WWWW" in top left. When you say the text is deleted that is not a full description of the problem. The new text disappears but the original WWWW reappears.
This has started happening in Reader XI because it now has support for editing FreeText annotations, so it is doing the correct thing and rebuilding it from the dictionary.
The editing solution is simple and neat. Unfortunately it is also fundamendally flawed because
(a) the original annotation dictionary is not changed to match
(b) in any case the free text annotation cannot express a detailed filling in of multiple locations
If this had been tested using Acrobat the problem would have been seen before.
I recommend you add actual page contents to the page.
