How to split a report in many PDF

Post Author: metoo
CA Forum: Other
I have a BO report that has two groups: year and location. This report has to be exported to different PDF files which correspond to the data of one of the groupsyear. For example, one pdf file has only data for 2004, another one for 2005, and so on. The VB code that I am using is below, labeled "Working Code" and works fine. Now, I want to create pdf files by location. So, I made a copy of the code and change some names and values and now it generates the different PDF files but it dumps the whole report in each file (all the locations) instead of just showing the data that correspond to the specific locationsee code below labeled "Not Working Code". Any suggestions on how to fix this? Does it have to do with what is in ""? "Location" is the name of the dimmension, should I be delcaring something else somewhere else?
"Working Code"
Sub creates_yearsPDF()     ExportToPDF "2004"    ExportToPDF "2005"    ExportToPDF "2006"    ExportToPDF "2007"              MsgBox "Exporting Year Report to PDF files has been completed."
End Sub
Private Sub ExportToPDF(strFName As String)
    Application.Variables.Item("Year").Value = strFName
    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ForceCompute    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ExportAsPDF "c:\PDF file for " & strFName
End Sub
"Not Working Code"
Sub creates_locationsPDF()     ExportToPDFL "North"    ExportToPDFL "South"    ExportToPDFL "East"    ExportToPDFL "West"              MsgBox "Exporting Locations Report to PDF files has been completed."
End Sub
Private Sub ExportToPDFL(strFName As String)
    Application.Variables.Item("Location").Value = strFName
    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ForceCompute    ThisDocument.ActiveReport.ExportAsPDF "c:\PDF file for " & strFName
End Sub

Hi,
You can create the Report directly in PDF by setting some of the Report Parameters
i.e. DESTYPE, DESNAME AND DESFORMAT as follows before calling the Report.
DECLARE
     PL_ID          PARAMLIST;
     PL_NAME     VARCHAR2(10) := 'param_list';
BEGIN
     PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST (PL_NAME);
     IF NOT ID_NULL (PL_ID) THEN
              Destroy_Parameter_List(PL_ID);
     END IF;
     PL_ID := Create_Parameter_List(PL_NAME);
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'FILE');
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'c:\test.pdf');
     Add_Parameter (PL_ID, 'DESFORMAT', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PDF');
        RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS, 'REPORT_NAME', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
END;Hope this helps.

How to omit the report column in pdf-print?

Hi, experts!
I have a column with html code (a link to another web-page). The html draws a button with redirection to a specific link. In the properties of that column I set an "html" format, so the code executes and the desired button appears... but! When I print this report (using printer friendly option PDF) it shows me the html code of the button, but not the button itself. So the question is:
a) how to omit specific column from a PDF?
OR
b) how to push OBI showing the button (not the html code)?
thnx 2 all in advance!

How to split the report into different versions view 1 agent delivery

Hello
I have a scenario where I need to send a dashboard to multiple users. The user information are stored in the table like the following:
USER Day Car Pay Type Cost Email
USER1
-10
-2
Honda
Customer Pay
500
[email protected]
USER2
-4
-1
AUDI
Customer Pay + Warranty
1000
[email protected]
USER2
-4
-1
PORSCHE
Customer Pay + Warranty
1000
[email protected]
Now I have a dashboard call Car, on this dashboard I have prompts like Date, Car, Pay Type, Cost, pretty much the same name as the columns in the above table. I have also set up session variables to pick up users based on the log in.
Now for user2, he is getting 1 email, which is the dashboard with both Audi and Porsche on there. Instead, he wants to 2 attachments, 1 for Audi and 1 more Porsche. Is there a way to achieve this using 1 agent?
Please let me know how to split the result sets based on user records in the table
Thank you

Hello,

How to split a report in several parts, displayed next to each other ?

Hi all,
I searched the forum, read the manuals, but couldn't find a way to do the following:
I have a page, containing several regions. The bottommost region contains a narrow (2 small columns) report, with several tens of rows. This forces the user to always scroll the page vertically to get a complete overview.
What I'd like to do is to split the display in sets of eg. 10 rows and display these sets horizontally next to each other. Something like this:
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
Is this at all possible ? And if so, can you hint me how ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Mark

How to split one request into many to reduce response time

Hi,
In a request I may get more than 20-30 materials for which, pricing info need to be returned. Its increasing the load on SAP and XI is not waiting for a long time to get the price. Please let me know a work around for this otherthan BPM.
Or is there any mechanism by which I can split the XML into multiple XMLs and process multi small requests.
Thanks
Seshu

Hi Seshu -
Timeouts can be tricky in synchronous cases with all the various components of XI. In your case, you've implied that the RFC receiver adapter is being used to talk to SAP and it's taking a long time for SAP to process this request and send back a response. Are you getting a '...MessageExpiredException'? If so, the parameter 'xiadapter.inbound.timeout.default' in the 'SAP XI Adapter: XI' J2EE service would be relevant (see Note 791379 for details). The 'syncMessageDeliveryTimeoutMsec' parameter of the 'SAP XI Adapter: RFC' J2EE service is only relevant if you're using the RFC sender adapter.
Other timeout settings may come into play. <a href="http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700005909032005E/XI30XI70_TroubleGuide.pdf">The XI Troubleshooting guide</a> has some good information on this.
Also, if this scenario is required to be synchronous, there's no way to split the request without using BPM as synchronous requests cannot be sent to multiple receivers.

Jin

Newbie How to do a FlattenPages of many PDF in a Batch?

I'm using Acrobat Pro 10. I have a PDF with a fillable form.
Example, 2 users fill out the PDF( with Adobe Reader) and Upload it to server.
I want the server to run a routine( batch process) to take those
2 PDF's and make it Flatten.
I will eventually want to combine those 2 PDF into ONE PDF,
where I can search on a word.
How can this be done or is there a better way?
TIA
SH_42

It can be done with Acrobat, but Acrobat cannot be used on a server to run automated processes. This is a licensing restriction, but Acrobat is also technically unsuitable. It wasn't designed and engineered for such use. You will have to look for products that have been designed specifically for server use.

Do I have to use PL/SQL? Appreciate any thought you have on it!

i doubt the second column string operation can be acheived within single query to break it into rows.
but here is the pl/sql to do it.

Word splits document into lots of PDFs

I've got a 24 page Word document that I'm trying to print to PDF format. I keep getting messages saying page borders are outside the printable area, but when I click continue, lots of PDFs are created, some with 2 pages, another with 9 etc.
How can I export the word document as a single PDF?
Thanks in advance

I realise this is a slightly different question, but it's very related. I also have had preview split my documents into many pdfs, and I'm sure it's because of the section breaks.
However, I need to keep the section breaks in my Word document becuase some of the pages are in Landscape layout, while others are in Portrait.
Is there a way to combine the pdf's that were formed? Or "stitch" the documents together?
Thanks for the help!

Remove encryption or protection for many PDFs in Action Wizard?

Hello,
I can remove encryption manually for each PDF file, but I have hundreds of files so it is impossible to do it manually.
From what I know, in Action Wizard, I can only add encryption for many files, there seems to be no 'encryption remove' function in Action Wizard for me to apply to many files.
So, my question is, how do I remove encryption for many PDF files at once without having to so manually?
Thank you.

Sir, what you said makes perfect sense but it may work only in case the files are protected with a password.
This case seems different.
I remove the protection manually by choosing Protection --> Encrypt --> Remove.
No password whatsoever.
After that, I am able to Edit Object, Edit Document Text, Add or Edit Text Box.
To make sure I followed your steps correctly, this is how I did it:

How to split table in the report so it shows on the next page?

Hi,
How to split table in the report so it shows on the next page? Im trying to fit long (many columns) table into my report page. It is too long however. I want it to wrap and show the rest on the next page. What I get now is table cut at the page end and rest is not visible.

Yes, this might be that the amount of data will cause table to grow and exceed 1, 2, 3.. pages. In that case I would probably want to have, lets say , one half of columns on 1st page then the other on the 2nd page and then repeatedly the same sequence down across all pages. Is there a way to achieve this?

How to generate a report in pdf from a stored proc

Hi, i need guidance on how to generate a report in pdf from an oracle stored proc.
The environment is oracle 10gas + 10gdb.
On a specific event, a PL/SQL stored procedure is called to do some processing and at the end of the processing to generate report which has to be sent to the printer (and optionally previewed by the user).
Can anyone assist me with this?

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:
