Image Print problem in PDF Reports

Hi,
I have imported a JPG image on the layout using Reports builder 6i using File -> Import -> Image. Once imported, this image is displayed correctly in the report layout editor. But, when I run this report (Pdf format) from Oracle Apps, this image is displayed with half side displayed as solid black color and the other half side with the actual picture.
I have tried to change the size of the image, import other type of images (BMP) & tried dynamic image using "Link File" option, but nothing could work.
Appreciate your help on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes. I have tried running that report with other images of different formats & size. But nothing worked out till now.

Printing problem when PDF is sent to the printer with certain fonts - missing text

I'm running into a printing problem when PDFs containing certain characters of the Calibri font are used. The text in large sections of the PDF is missing on the paper version, but the text is there on the screen. It's also happened when the PDFs we created were e-mailed out to a client and printed on their printer. The problem is not present when printing directly from the programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Visio, etc.). I've been trying to get tech support from Adobe on this, but every time I call they apologize and say they will call back in 4-6 hours with an answer. Same result each time, no call back. If anyone from Adobe is listening, it's case number 184891587. The font appears as an embedded subset when I look at the document properties. Sometimes deleting one or two Characters allows for larger text blocks to be printed - i.e. removing a long dash in bold from the heading of a paragraph makes the paragraph reappear when printed to paper from PDF. In all cases the PDF appears correct on the screen. Printing as an image allows the text to appear, but the image quality isn't acceptable for small text, even at the 600 dpi setting on the printer. If the PDF is sent out by e-mail, we do not have control over the end-user's printer setup anyway, so we need this to work in all cases.
The setup/process I'm using is as follows:
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit
Microsoft Office 2013 - problem is present when printing documents from Word, Excel or Visio. Even other variations on documents.
I've tried Acrobat versions 11.0.0 to 11.0.5 as well as Acrobat Pro 11.0.0 and 11.0.1. Same Result
Printing to Adobe PDF as the printer, from the third party application
Printing to a Xerox printer from PDF using Acrobat - Text missing
Client prints to Konica printer - Text missing
I print to the wide-format Ricoh (which also does 11x17) and the text is present.
Is there something I'm missing? Is the entire font not getting embedded into the PDF file? I noticed that rolling back to a much older version of the Calibri font (1.02 compared to 5.72) makes the problem mostly go away, but it's not completely gone. Is it possible the font is too large to be completely embedded? Where can I go from here?

Success! At least for now. It looks like my problem was fixed with Adobe's most recent update, 11.0.06. From the release notes:
PDF creation
Added support for Lotus Notes 9.
Added support for WebCapture in IE 11.
Added support for conversions from AutoCAD 2013.
3652540 A blank pdf is created for files having hidden visual style.
3601108 Flow Chart converts as a multicolored square.
3654345 Word documents missing parts of images in conversion to PDF.
3654572 Temporary file size increases when creating pdf by combining multiple files into one PDF.
3670155 PDF file created with Distiller XI prints incorrectly to some printers. (Emphasis mine)
3599407 Checkbox check marks do not appear in these files.
3663233 IE Web Capture in localized OS: Icons and drop-down menu items are missing and conversion dialog is not localized.
3651931 Chrome Only: Few web pages when converted to pdf from Chrome plugin doesn’t show up the Save As dialog.
3597910 EPM Mode On: Web capture is not working on Windows 8-32 bit when cache folder is missing.
3610644 Firefox 23.0: With Firefox version 23.0 (latest), the WebCapture icon shows up very dim as if it is disabled.
3650244 ODA falis to convert DWG files to PDF for large files.
I don't know if that's definately what solved the problem, but it sure sounds similar and this is the update that made the printing problem go away. We can't get the PDFs to fail at this point with our printers, even with Calibri 5.72. I'll come back to thread if we have printing problems at the end-user locations.

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I have resolved this, there are two ways to do it.
1. Save the report to hard drive & then give print out.
2. Reduce the length of URL less then 254 it will work

Image Printing Problem

I make use of Crystal 10. I have a report that print 1 page per record. This page include data and 3 images. Recently, this report started to print some pages correctly while other pages images printed black. Would appreciate if someone can highlight what happen because after rebooting the crystal report server, the problem goes away. Need to find the root clause and not reboot server all the time.
rgds,
Loh

Hi Loh,
Need a lot more info.
Are you using CR Enterprise?
Are you using a custom application you or someone else wrote?
You'll have to monitor the WEB servers resources or local browser cache etc.
What have you done so far to debug the issue?
Thank you

Printing problem with .pdf

27" iMac (2012), OS X 10.9.1, Canon MF4770n laser connected by ethernet cable through AirPort Extreme, HP C4200 connected directly via USB
The Problem: I received a .pdf file via e-mail and downloaded it. It consisted of a series of forms in unknown original format. I needed to print them out, sign them and return them. I opened .pdf in Preview but when I tried to print it, I got only blank pages from the printer. The printer seemed to be operating normally in all other respects.
What I have tried:
1. Successfulloy printed material from other applications using the same computer and Canon printer.
2. Successfully printed a different .pdf file from Preview using the same computer and Canon printer.
3. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Preview on the same computer and the HP ink jet printer.
4. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Adobe Reader using the same computer and Canon printer.
Since I was able to print the .pdf using Adobe Reader, this problem is not critical but it is rather mysterious. Any suggestions would be appeciated.

Using ASK.Com - my favorite web browser - does not require you to download anything to use it just enter the url -

*just a heads up - whenever you have problems with a printer
1. stop the print queue on your system
2. shut the printer power off for about a minute to clear any printer memory
3. turn on the printer
4. start the print queue

HP Officejet100 Mobile L411a intermittent Bluetooth printing problems with PDF files

Hello,
Our company provides computer-hosted medical devices controlled by an application running on Windows7 computers we supply. We are currently using the HP Officejet 100 as a Bluetooth printer. In some of our customer offices, we experience printing problems using the printer in Bluetooth mode (there are never problems if the printer is connected by a USB cable.)
The printing problems typically affect PDF files printed through Adobe Reader 10, and the symptom is one of the following:
Send a print job to the printer. It doesn't print and eventually the print queue shows an "Error Printing" message. If any print jobs are removed and the printer is power-cycled, the problem goes away for the time being.
2. Same as above but power-cycling does not cure the problem and nothing will print, even a test page.
In either of these cases there are no problems if a USB cable is used.
The PDF files we are trying to print are typically 5 pages with 3 of the pages having a lot of graphics and the remainder being text only.
Has anyone seen this behavior and is there anything we can do about it?
Thanks.

I don't anything about this printer, but I do know that bluetooth is really flaky with large files since it's got a crappy transfer rate, could be that the transfer is dropping and freezing the printer up. Does it have encryption turned on?

Problems with PDF report generation on WEB application

Hi friends.
I have the following problem.
I heve many reports running on a client/server system. But we decide to move one by one, the menu options of the system to the WEB, using iAS. Most of the reports works just fine, but some of them works wrong.
But I am not talking about the data or something like that, I am talking about the layout format. All of them out a grey rectangle in all the pages of the PDF reports. The report doesn't have any color inside, but when we move the file, to the UNIX server and test it, it is generated not in a white normal report but grey and white colors.
anyone have an idea what is it happend?
thank you folks....
abdel.

hi shivanjali..
the problem may be due to your local system settings..
try this..
open internet explorer.-> click on tools menu-> click on internet options-> select connections tab-> press lan settings-> uncheck the proxy address if you have any and press ok....
now try your web report.. hope it will help your concern..

Fonts problems with PDF reports and Lexmark printers

Hi,
since yesterday we use Oracle Reports Services 10.1.2.3.0 as our productive reports services.
When we print PDF reports on one of the following printers, the fonts size isn't correct (in the report defined as font size 8, on the paper the font size is about 16!).
- Lexmark T620 PS3
- Lexmark W820 PS3
The printers work correct if I print out a PDF file via Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Best regards
Flo

Hi,
I'm afraid that this was a couple of years ago so I can't remember the font we used.
If memory serves then I think it is something to do with True Type fonts.
Have you searched Metalink? I think that's where I originally got some advice about the fonts in PDF documents.

Printing problem in ABAP report

Hi All,
I have a ABAP report with line size 225 and line count 65. We are taking print out of the report on Dot matrix printer.
When taking the printouts, while going in to the 3rd page the logo on the top of the page is getting printed on the data and further going down as the pages are getting printed.
Please suggest how to control this so that the logo gets printed on top for every page.
Hope I'm clear.
Regards
Adi

Thanks for the reply.
I have used the no standard page heading.
We are taking prinouts on a letter head page.

Printing Problem in Crystal Report From JSP

Hi,
I m calling crystal report from JSP.Report is parameterized.I m passing parameters from JSP.Report is displaying on the page,but when I try to print or export the report by pressing Print or export Button ,it displays an error message "Some parameters are missing values".
Please guide my,what should I do? Following is the code.
Good Bye
AQ
Vector fieldVector = new Vector();
SPParameters spParams = new SPParameters();
ReportFactory     reportFactory = new ReportFactory();
// Setteing the report Name (Path Appended)
reportFactory.setReportName(ReportsCoreDataConstants.REPORT_PATH.concat("Test_Rep2.rpt"));
//Setting the parameters for the report
ParameterField paramFeilds = null;
System.out.println("fiscalYearCode:"+fiscalYearCode);
paramFeilds = spParams.createParams("IPFISCALCODE",fiscalYearCode);
paramFeilds.setReportName("");
fieldVector.add(paramFeilds);
//Creating the ReportSourceInstance
reportFactory.setFields(fieldVector);
String exp = "";
try {
     ReportFactory l_reportFactory=null;
     l_reportFactory = reportFactory;
     if (l_reportFactory != null) {
     CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     viewer.setParameterFields(l_reportFactory.getFields());
     viewer.setOwnPage(true);
     viewer.setDisplayGroupTree(false);
     viewer.setHasZoomFactorList(false);
     viewer.setHasLogo(false);
     viewer.setHasPrintButton(true);
     viewer.setHasRefreshButton(true);
     viewer.setHasToggleGroupTreeButton(false);
     viewer.setHasViewList(false);
     viewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
     viewer.setSeparatePages(true);
     viewer.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
     viewer.setReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh(true);
     viewer.setReportSource(l_reportFactory.createReport( request.getLocale() ));
     viewer.refresh();
     viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(),out);
     viewer.dispose();
} catch(Exception e) {
     exp = e.toString();
     System.out.println("Exception in JSP : " + e.toString());
     e.printStackTrace();
}

I think ScreenRaghu is right. If you look at the generated source, your jsp becomes an action and processHttpRequest() method is invoked everytime some action happens. So when you click the export button, request object no longer has the values your report needs. Either put the values in session or via link or db or whatelse.

Showing dynamic images in BI Publisher PDF report

I defined a RTF report layout in BI Publisher. Almost done, but one requirement missing...
I should be able to include a dynamic image (so every "object" on the report has it's own image).
At first I embedded the base64 converted image in the XML output, but then I am running into the 32K limit. (Small pictures render fine).
Although Marc Sewtz sort of promised in June 2008 (!) : "One issue, which we'll address in the next version of Application Express, is the 32k limit on report columns." on his blogpost http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-question-about-pdf-printing-feature.html , it still not addressed.
So I tried to embed the image in the report using a trick described on the forum (and BIP documentation), by embedding a dummy picture and set the "Alt-text" of the picture to
(as an example) : url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}.
The strange thing is, that works fine for HTML Output and Excel output, but not for Word and PDF (why it does work for Excel and not for Word is very mysterious....). And of course I need a PDF output.
I also tried to embed a FO snippet:
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="url:{'http://www.oracleimg.com/us/assets/oralogo-small.gif'}" />
</fo:block>
But that doesn't (seem to) work on any output...
But
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src="D:\Users\rhartman\Documents\PrintScreen Files\Screenshot004.jpg" />
</fo:block>
does produce the image on the PDF output.
So who has an idea how to solve this issue?? You'll be rewarded with a lot of pionts ;-)
TIA
Roel

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!
Roel

Image not displaying in pdf report using XSL-FO and using Oracle 11g databa

Good Afternoon,
I have created over 15 reports using XSL-fo, with the following syntax to display an image on the pdf:
fo:block margin-left="0.24cm" margin-right="0.27cm" margin-top="0.0cm" ><fo:external-graphic content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="scale-to-fit" width="1.73cm" height="1.57cm" >
<xsl:attribute name="src">'url("http://readiness:7780/i/marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")'</xsl:attribute></fo:external-graphic>
</fo:block>
This syntax works fine when using Oracle 10g, now my database has been upgraded to 11g and my image no longer displays in the reports. I have already upload the image into the database as a workspace image.
I have tried to point the image @ the image by using url(#WORKSPACE_IMAGE#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif)
or <img src ="#IMAGE_PREFIX#marforcom_symbol_rpts.gif")
and it still doesn't work.
I have searched this forum trying to come up with a solution that will fix my problem and am unable to.
Current config: Oracle 11g, using pl/sql gateway.
I need to know how to point the xsl-fo file to the database, where the image now resides.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi,
I think you need load images to database XDB virtual directory /i/ and then use #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution.
This might help to access /i/
http://www.apex-blog.com/oracle-apex/accessing-i-using-ftp-170.html
Or use this to load images
