HTML in exports (PDF/CSV)

Hello all,
I have the following problem with reports and export files of reports containing HTML code.
On screen everything looks fine but in the files special characters are replaced by something else.
E.g. ° is shown as &deg and ' is shown as &#39
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance
Florian

Hello,
I get the same results on apex.oracle.com.
On screen it looks like this:
ARP coords refined to N513658 E0065140, apt elev chgd to 213'. Rwy 09/27 lengthened to the west to 4921' (1500m), both THRs dsplcd 328' (100m), TORA/LDA rwy 09/27 -- 4593' (1400m). For light acft below 2t MTOM THR 27 dsplcd 1640' (500m).
In any export it looks like this :
ARP coords refined to N513658 E0065140, apt elev chgd to 213 & #39;. Rwy 09/27 lengthened to the west to 4921 & #39; (1500m), both THRs dsplcd  328 & #39; (100m), TORA/LDA rwy 09/27 -- 4593 & #39; (1400m). For light acft below 2t MTOM THR 27 dsplcd & nbsp; 1640 & #39; (500m).
I had to insert spaces after every "&" to show the problemin this post.

  • Generate & Export PDF/CSV on the fly without holding entire contents in mem

    Hello Everyone,
    We are using Crystal Reports JRC (in our server side application. In a typical use-case the generated report is exported into the pdf/csv format and streamed to the client/browser.
    My question is with regards to the current interface/implementation of the JRC export api(s), which returns an InputStream which is basically a ByteArrayInputStream?, Why ByteArrayInputStream ? why not a custom InputStream imeplementation which really benefits from the streaming approach, and give you the option to stream the contents as they are generated on the fly, instead of it holding the entire report contents in a byte-array, as is the case with using ByteArrayInputStream. Since, this often seems to choke our system with regards to memory footprint, when the generated report contains huge dataset.
    Please comment? Is that not possible ? Is there any reason why ByteArrayInputStream is the only way to retrieve the report contents ?
    Thanks,
    Farhan.

    Hi,
    According to your post, a problem occurred when you exported the HTML table to Excel(.CSV).
    The following code for your reference:
    function toCSV() {
    var data = document.getElementById('reportstable');
    var csvData = [];
    var tmpArr = [];
    var tmpStr = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < data.rows[0].cells.length; i++)
    tmpArr.push((data.rows[0].cells[i].innerText || data.rows[0].cells[i].textContent));
    csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
    for (var i = 1; i < data.rows.length; i++)
    tmpArr = [];
    for (var j = 0; j < data.rows[0].cells.length; j++)
    tmpArr.push(data.rows[i].cells[j].innerHTML);
    csvData.push(tmpArr.join('\t'));
    var output = csvData.join('\n');
    SaveContents(output.replace(/&lt;/g, '<').replace(/&gt;/g, '>'));

  • Export pdf as html by Acrobat 9.2 on windows 7

    Dears,
    i have a problem with exporting pdf as html by Acrobat 9.2 on windows 7.
    after exporting, images and text may have wrong positions or wrong width and height of the images.
    is the problem in the compatibility between acrobat 9.2 and windows 7 ?
    what can i do ?
    Thank you in advance....
    amt

    thank you, but i think that i can get 90% representation of the pdf,
    but that didn't occure,
    also i saw examples for some tools which can do that, but for pdf version 1.5 and i think that is on old windows too.

  • Exporting PDF text to html

    How can I export PDF text and post the exported text on a web page, to which I can then apply Google Translate?  Our organization post PDF articles from our journal.  (I can manually block and copy the text, so I know the text can be captured.)  I want a program/app/software to run on our website that will allow a user to extract the text from the PDF and display the text as html.  From there, the user can apply Google Translate.  So does anyone know how I can do this?  It doesn't seem like a difficult task -- I can do it manually -- but I want an app that will do it automatically.

    Thanks for the reply.  Do you have any idea how I could do what I want to do, perhaps with some other software?

  • Mass export PDFs to CSV/XML?

    Hi,
    I remember Acrobat Professional used to have a mass export to CSV function a year or so ago, which I think has now been removed as I can't find it anywhere. I have over 200 PDFs I need in a spreadsheet any which way it will spit them out, no particular format reqs, and can't figure out a way to do this without 3rd party software which I really want to avoid due to the nature of the data I'm handling.
    Any thoughts?
    Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

  • How to aviod html tags from Report column heading while export to csv

    Edited by: pnr on Jul 5, 2011 5:00 AM

    Hi Nr
    Here is how I approached this problem.
    Go to report attributes tab
    under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
    Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
    create function get_heading return clob as
    v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
    v_col_heading CLOB;
    begin
    IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
    v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
    ELSE
    v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
    END IF;
    return v_col_heading;
    end;
    Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
    return get_heading;
    Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • JasperReportIntegration tool - Report coming back as HTML instead of PDF

    Using:
    * Apex 4.1.1 (using EPG)
    * 11G SE
    * Apache FOP as print Server
    * Dietmar Aust's free tool on integrating JasperReports
    I've recently created a second APEX instance locally (from externally hosted instance) and copied the application (via application export) and parsing schema (using exp/imp). Everything works fine except when I try to print reports (for JasperReports) it comes up as garbled HTML instead of PDF.
    In my hosted instance it all works fine.
    Since the necessary packages to integrate with Jasper reports goes into the parsing schema for application, all necessary objects are imported as well during the exp/imp.
    The only thing different about the hosted and my local instance is that the hosted one is XE where as my local one is SE but I don't think this is a factor at all.
    The other difference is the hosted instance uses Apex Listener while mine doesn't. Again don't think this a factor as well.
    My print server is enabled and working and I can print tables as PDF reports.
    I am not sure if I need to enable something or missed a step needed so the reports come up as expected as is the case in hosted instance. Any hints or suggestions welcome.
    Cheers.

    Hi Dietmar, I couldn't do it as I couldn't find that line I needed to modify. The XLIB_HTTP package goes upto line 45 and those lines referred in that post goes upto 89,90.
    But then I was due to change from EPG to Web Server + Apex Listener (for other reasons) which in turn solved my issue anyway.
    create or replace PACKAGE "XLIB_HTTP"

  • How to purchase Export PDF in France - how to overcome security on a PDF file

    I've been trying today to get subscribed to Adobe Export PDF, but since I live in France, it doesn't seem to be available for purchase.  I found a page in French where I was invited to subscribe, but it took me to the French Adobe Store, where this item does not seem to exist.
    However, I did reach a page where I was invited to try it out, which I did with a PDF page, really wanting to transfer it into a .csv file, but tried Microsoft Excel as the nearest available.  However, when it had tried to process this PDF file, I got the message that the security on the PDF document was such that I couldn't export anything from it.  I checked the security on the document and found, surprise, surprise, that yes, I couldn't export from it (or much else either). 
    So, is Adobe Export PDF supposed to override the security on the original documents, or do I have to have another (paid for) version of Adobe in order to use this facility?
    If it is supposed to override the security, how can I purchase, or otherwise access Export PDF in France?
    If the security settings continue to prevent any access, do I have to go to the original provider of the document to get them to change the security settings?
    Any help would be gratefully received.
    Perhaps someone can get on to Adobe in France to ask them to make their pages more logical?  i;e. don't invite people to buy something which apparently is not on sale here.  If it is, then please make it available on the store page.
    Thanks

    Good day,
    Unfortunately, our ExportPDF service is not yet available for purchase in France.  Update: Adobe ExportPDF is available in France. 
    As for any security settings applied to a file, you would have to contact the file's originator to obtain the document password and remove that password within Adobe Acrobat (separate program), or obtain an unsecured version of the file.  Our service will not allow you to circumvent any security settings that have been applied to a file.
    Kind regards,

  • INdesign CS3 suddenly crashes when trying to export pdfs

    I have exported PDF-x1as from Indesign for years with no issues. Suddenly today, indesign crashes when I select EXPORT. I have indesign CS3 on a macbook pro running 10.5.8.
    I work from home, and have to get some pretty huge projects out to the printer, and so I'm getting nervous about this not workling!! I'm trying to remain calm.
    I've restarted indesign with the control, option, and shift keys down, supposedly renewing the prefs. When that didn't work, I reinstalled it from my original disks. Still doing the same thing.
    Please say someone knows a fix!!!

    ok - I've spent countless hours now searching for an answer. I was about to upgrade to snow leopard hoping that would solve this issue, when, buried deep somewhere in these forums, I found the solution that, at least so far, has worked for me! Here it is, in case anyone else is having issues:

  • Writing Html Content into PDF using JSP

    Dear All,
    I am using JSP to generate Employee payslip dynamically. Presently i am diplaying payslip as on-screen display.
    Here i want to give option "Save as PDF". I am able to create PDF file using IText Libraries. i want to integrate HTML code into the PDF file.
    Writing HTML Content (using HTML Tags) into PDF.

    Well it is a difficult ask and i believe we are trying to re-invent the wheel
    Just to make my life simple i could have choosen either sample API given below to serve my cause
    1).[http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/] (Apache FOP one can simply write an XSL template of their and then substitute the values from respective DTO's by using XSL - XML transformations and can generate content in different formats which includes PDF aswell)
    2).[http://jasperforge.org/plugins/project/project_home.php?group_id=102] (Just design a simple report template using iReport and create a jrxml files and write a small code snipett such that you can pass few details at the runtime and can export the report in different formats which includes PDF aswell)
    3).[http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreereport/] (Is much similar to what jasper offers in order to compile these you can either use pentaho product IDE or BEA/Oracle Actuate report tools)
    You can simply try searching for different examples for getting more help on using the respective API's
    Hope that helps :)
