Issues exporting to pdf

I recently encountered two issues when exporting a report from the viewer.
The first is that on the export dialog, if the type selected to save the file as is not rpt or xml, the files with the same extension selected are not show on the window.
The second is that, if you export to pdf and don't set the extension on the file name, the file is recorded with a name like "<filename>.pdf .pdf". This also happens with other extensions.
Are these know issues of the export funcionality?
Thanks

Hi;
I've tried here and do not see either issue that you are describing.
See if installing Fix Pack 2.4 helps:

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.

Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

Hi Experts,
When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
Looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay.

InDesign exporting to PDF - .eps and .ai color issue

I've been reviewing a lot of help forums and have played with a lot of solutions and can't seem to fix this one.
With no updates or changes to my usual settings I've noticed an issue with my company logo when I export to PDF from InDesign CS6. Once I open the PDF all images and color spaces look fine, but the logo is muted, as if I set the opacity to 60-70% before exporting.
It happens with both EPS and AI files. It does NOT happen when I place the logo as a JPEG, but I need transparency and quality on these PDFs. Don't say PNG please, same issue with quality.
I don't understand how it changed when I changed nothing.
Any guidance would be appreciated, and I know I couldn't have possiblty provide a complete set of variables, so let me know wheat else would be helpful.

Thanks for both your responses. It appears that everythign in the original logo file and InDesign file are accurately set up. I've explored any back corners to see if something is off, but it all reads the same space/model/mode.
I've inserted an exported image to show the issue. The file formats from top to bottom is: AI, EPS, JPEG, PNG
Any other ideas?

Hi Pradeep,
I dont think this can be done. There are various issues with exporting web items to PDF, one of them being formating. We had a similar issues and opened an OSS with SAP and they stated this was how it was designed and SAP do not provide a better way of formatting PDFs.
Thanks,
Nick.

Issue with Crystal Report export to PDF

Have a report in Crystal Report 2008. The report runs fine, but would like to export it to PDF/EXCEL, but nothing happens when I select the Export type(i.e. PDF,Excel, etc).
Steps to replicate:
1. Run Crystal Report
2. Click on EXPORT button.
3. Select the Export type (PDF).
4. Click on EXPORT - Nothing happens nor does it return any error.
Would someone be able to provide some tips on this issue
Thanks

The problem is that the 3rd party is using some CR SDK. We don't even know what SDK that is. They should be coming here and asking us to help them on your behalf. It is almost impossible for us to help, not knowing how they implemented the SDK, which SDk, etc..

Font issues exporting PDF in Keynote 6.5

Is anyone else experience font issues exporting PDF's in Keynote 6.5?
My entire team has been having issues specifically exporting the font Merriweather. It's been fine in the presentation itself, but in the PDF - it's spaced out aggressively and the font weight/type/size is always wrong.
It's been a real hassle, as our brand body copy font is Merriweather and we've never had a problem with it.

The conversion issue seems to be tied to OTF fonts. Converting Merriweather to TTF, deleting OTF versions from Font Book, and/or System Font Folder worked for us. Clearing font cache and restarting can further flush out any legacy conflicts.

Export to .PDF, hyperlinks issue

Hello,
I've been working with Crystal Reports 2008, and so far it all seems to be going well. There is only one issue that I've come across, and I was hoping for some direction.
For some reason, when I export my form to .PDF, all hyperlinks are removed... I've found that I can export to RTF, then to .PDF, but this sometimes causes some formatting issues.
Is there any way for crystal reports to keep their hyperlinks when exporting to .PDF?
- Scott

Hi, thanks for your reply,
You know, I've never tried it just out of Crystal Reports 2008 until now. I ran the report, then in the preview tab, I clicked on the field that had the hyperlink formula in it...
Clicking it just selected the textbox. I tried the same thing in CR2008 Viewer, with no success. The odd thing is that, if I export the report to rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the hyperlinks are there. It's just not there in the viewer, or in the exported .PDF.
I'll explain how I did the hyperlink, and hopefully you can tell me whether I'm doing something wrong.
I have a field in our database with the full path to the document that I want to link to. The path is similar to
xx.x.xx.xx\subfolder\subfolder\filename.PDF. This path will work so long as the report is being viewed on a PC connected to our local network (which it is).
Then, in my query, I select the path as one of the database fields. If I just put the field into a text-box, the value is printed correctly, so my query is grabbing the correct path.
Then, on the text-field that I want, I right click, select 'Format Text...' and select the 'Hyperlink' tab. Then I set the hyperlink type to 'A file', and under hyperlink information, I select the formula button. I then bind the formula to the field with the path in it, save changes and retrun to my form.
Within CR2008, it doesn't look like there are any hyperlinks, and clicking the field just selects the text. If I export it to .rtf, excel, word, html, etc. the link is there, and it works fine. As I've said, it's just the CR2008 viewer and exported .PDF files where the hyperlink doesn't appear.
Now, on a whim, I decided to just type the path into the 'file path:' field in the hyperlink tab. Doing this manually allows the link to be clicked in CR2008, but I still can't get the exported .PDF file to recognize the hyperlink. Even if setting the static path allowed my links to be maintained in an exported .PDF, I need the Path to be set based upon the field in our database.
So, that's where I am now. If you can see something I've done wrong, or something that I haven't tried, please let me know. This is the only thing that I've come across that is causing me any trouble so far. I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer, Thanks.

Crystal reports 2008 Arabic content export to PDF issue with JRC

hi there,
I am using JRC for our JAVA application, The report contains of partial Arabic & Englishand while viewing report arabic text is shown correct. While exporting to PDF, the arabic content was reversed (reversed characterwise).
If I call from BO server and then exporting to pdf is fine. Only the problem is when we call the report from local.
Is there any fix for this issue? Please help.

No, seems you are the only having this problem.
Try downloading Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com and filter on crw32.exe and then export and look in the logs to see if any permissions are denied or missing dependencies.
Be sure you are a local PC Administrator when installing also.
Thank you

Font Rendering issues in export to PDF-SSRS

Hi,
Its a very strange issue,I am facing from last two days.
I have created a report having text with Gill Sans MT font.I am able to see the text in the mentioned font properly on report server as well as on my development machine.
Issue occurs when I export the report to PDF, as when i open the report in acrobat reader to view the font of the rendered text,it shows the font as Gill#20Sans#20MT which causes the text rendering up in Arial(default font).
If I Export from Word document the font is set as GillSansMT i.e name without spaces and text is rendered in correct font.I have installed the required font on both the locations i.e. report server as well as Development environment.
Thanks & Regards,
AS

Hi Anand Sardesai,
Since the Gill Sans MT font is not been installed on the production server at first. Please make sure the font is installed correctly and that font embedding is granted font. If the referenced font is not installed on the report server, the resulting PDF
file might not contain the correct mappings and might not display correctly when viewed.
Reference:

Alternatively, I recommend you reboot the server try to resolve the issue. There is a similar issue for your reference:

Alignement issue when exporting to PDF

Hello,
I'm having some alignment issues when exporting an InDesign file to PDF.
I have a couple of square pictures, touching eachother at the edges. These are aligned bang on in InDesign (the lines overlap), but when exporting to a PDF and viewing in there, it seems that some seem to jump up slightly.
Is this just a display issue or a setting issue when exporting to PDF?
Thanks
Benny

The detail is cropped too tight for me to tell how many photos are intersecting there. Is there a vertical intersection as well? If not, I think you're looking at a very slightly non-rectangular frame, if there is, then you might still be looking at a non-rectangular frame, or the frames are not perfectly aligned, which doesn't surprise me if you snapped to a guide -- I find that less than 100% reliable since CS6.
Presuming that you've zoomed in to show us the problem, that's probably a single pixel misalignment and you'd be very hard pressed to see it in printed output without a loupe.
You can check the bottom edge of the top photo, and the top edge of the bottom photo(s) for being out of horizontal by using the direct select tool to select the corner points and seeing if the y-coordinate is the same on both sides of the frame.
My printer tell me to always overlap frames, rather than butting them, for trapping, for what that's worth, but I don't always do what he says, and I've never had a problem.

Export to Pdf Issue in IR

Hi All,
I am having issues with export to pdf in Hyperion IR. I am using the following code to export a report section to pdf:
ActiveDocument.Sections["R-Pdf_Report"].Export("C:\\Temp\\Report.pdf",bqExportFormatPDF)
It exports the report to pdf but the pivots in the report appear to be in a messed up format. The lines are omitted randomly and the pivot border appears to be broken at few places. When I print it, the format of the pivots comes out perfectly fine. Just that when the user sees it in the soft copy pdf format, it appears funky.
Can anyone suggest what a fix for this could be?
Thanks.

Open the analysis, go to the Results tab.
On the top of the Results tab, click the 5th icon from left. A popup window will open there u can Set the orientation to “landscape” and save the analysis.
Mark if helps,
Thanks,

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

InDesign export to PDF Print color issues

Hey there,
I'm working on a document in InDesign, have been for many hours now. So far whenever exporting to PDF print there have been no problems. Now all of a sudden, if I change a color in the InDesign file and export to PDF, nothing actually changes on the PDF anymore.
Any idea what's going on? Did I accidentally change a setting or something?
Example: Say I have a shape that's Black. I export it, it's black. Now, I go into the document and change the shape color to Yellow, export it; still black.
Regards,
SL

Chrome's built-in PDF browser does not even begin to conform to the PDF specification. It might be fine to read PDF files from the simplest of Word documents, but not output from any graphic arts source.
(The same is true for Apple's Preview application under MacOS and their PDF viewer under iOS!)
