Issues in Exporting WAD to PDF

Hello Friends,
I have an issue in exporting WAD to PDF.
I have web template that contains one chart and one grid, (both of them have different data providers). And when i try to export it to PDF, unexpectedly an additional grid appears, it is data-provider-query of the chart which i don t need.
Anyone has an idea on it, and help me sort this out, would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
If you want to schedule this,then you can very well use BEx Broadcaster.
You create Web Template using WAD and then invoke BEx Broadcaster->Create a Broadcast setting for that web template->You will have Overview of Scheduling in the Broadcaster Wizard,using which you can schedule the Web Template.
You can refer the following threads...

Issue while exporting report in PDF using crystal report XI

Hello,
I am facing issue while exporting a report to PDF through crystal report XI. Reports are generating properly in the crystal report browser but when I am exporting the reports in PDF or trying to get print by clicking on print button, reports not generating properly.
Allignment in the exported PDF reports getting changed and reports margin is also changes. Due to this some part of report is chopped and printed on the next page.
I have deployed my application on IBM WebSphere 6.1 server and I am getting following error which might help to identify this issue.

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Issue while exporting an interactive PDF

While exporting an interactive PDF I am getting the below issue.
The Go to page button is not supported in PDF. The button appearance will be preserved, but its interactivity will dropped.
Please let me know the reason@

Although the Go to Page action is not supported for PDF, you can simulate the same action by first creating New Hyperlink Destinations > Page(s). Then select the “Go to Destination” action, and select the Destination > Page #

Issue in exporting Crystal to PDF(Fixed Currency Number Value)

Hello EveryOne,
Currently working on report where one of my amount column i set the value as fixed currency and the data is appearing in crystal designer as below
$      300,000
$                 0
$          1,000
but when i am exporting to Pdf the results are appearing as
$300,000
           $0
    $1,000
Can anybody tell me how i can keep in PDF also as fixed currency. I am using Crystal XI.
Thanks In Advance
Ram

PDF export some times does its own thing, so not sure why you are losing the space.
You could convert currency to text, left justify and then place a $ with a space text to the text, that should force PDF export to keep alignment as you want.

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 export in Excel in WAD

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.
On the webtemplate I have two buttons to export to excel. One to export the content from the active tab and one button to export content in all tabs.
My problem is that when I export to excel it always add the current/active content twice. I've tried with both buttons and they work as expected except that they export one table to much (the active).
can anyone help / give a clue what to look for.
br,
John

Hi
Sorry I has been a while but the problem still occurs,
I've defined my export button group like this in a seperate template and I expected that it would only return the resultset from TAB_A and TAB_B but it also export the resultset from the tab I'm currently on.

Hyperion IR 9.3.1 - Issue in printing the report after exporting it to pdf

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in printing the report after exporting it to pdf format using Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. I have set page size of report section to 11X17 inch landscape. Now I am exporting this report section to pdf. Report gets exported to pdf with size 11X17 inch landsacpe. But when I am trying to print this pdf it is shrinking the documnet size to A4 size paper and printing it rather it should print it on 11X17 inch paper size. Please suggest if there is fix available for this issue.
Thanks
Ujjawal

"File > Print Setup > Paper > Size" on PDF.
I think this issue is only to do with the printer and not IR.
I think the question now is "Can your printer print 11X17 pages or not".

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign

Font issue in exported PDF from indesign:
In Indesign file we have kept a sentence in “Univers LT Std” (San serif font) with all caps style that was orginally in lower case. Refer below
When we selected the sentence in exported PDF some of the characters are not selected. Refer below.
If we enable “create tagged PDF“ in export PDF setting, then the problem is solved. Refer below.
Can you please check why this problem happened? In another project also we have faced this same problem but different font “Frutiger LT Std” with all caps style. Here also same San serif font. Please check and advise to solve this issue permanently.

Without tags a PDF is a silly amount of letters, images and lines, with tags all itams a kept in their semantic context. So work with tags as it is the only way to get correct selections and export to other file types like Word DOCX.
Without tags InDesign reads from left to right from top to bottom and the font geometry might influence the correct order of letters.
Why should anyone work without tags today? If you open a tagged PDF in Acrobat DC it is much faster than without tags.

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.

WAD: Add export to excel/pdf button?

Hi all,
there's a standard component to add a button to export to pdf or excel format?
Also i have another problem, in some web reports i have graphs in different containers, if i export them to pdf all the graphs in every container is exported, there's a way to customize this and export only the data from the current container?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi Stefano,
The item you are looking for is a button group. When you define the buttons you can choose eather XLS or PDF and you can also specify which objects you wish to export e.g. your container object.

SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

Hi ZZ02,
I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
as the report design structure.
Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.
For more information about enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension, please see:

Hello Andrea.
I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering. There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
=============================================
Symptom
Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
Environment
Windows 2003
Apache Tomcat 5.0
Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
Reproducing the Issue
Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
Cause
When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
Resolution
Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
=============================================
Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
I hope that this helps.
Regards.

InDesign crashes every time I export to interactive PDF??

I am using InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 professional.
I have restarted the computer several times. CS6 is all up to date.
I have experimented on several existing documents as well as brand new documents. It makes no difference.
Interestingly, InDesign DOES export the interactive PDF just fine, I can open it and it works. However, before the document finishes processing, InDesign pops up an error message saying that InDesign has stopped working and must shut down. So when I have many PDFs from various files to export, it's a major pain to have indd crash & recover documents every time.
Files crash no matter what the content, I've tried new doc with only a yellow circle. I've tried new doc using only system fonts.
I've never used interactive PDFs before today, so I have no idea if this is a recent problem or not.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!!
-Tia

Peter, ID is patched to version 8.0.2 & I followed the steps to replace my preference (and confirmed they were deleted) and I'm still having the same issue of ID crashing whenever I export an interactive PDF.
I've tested it on all four of our computers here, and it does it to everyone--so I'm guessing it's something system-wide on our part. I am going to trying uninstalling some plugins that we all have and report back later.

"Memory full." error while exporting report to PDF format - CR2008SP2

 
Hello, 
 
I am developing a C#.NET application that uses the CR2008 SP2 .NET libraries. This application performs some database updates and uses CR2008 SP2 to run 7 different reports and export the results to PDF files. This application is a console application that only uses Crystal to export the rendered reports - it does not use previews or printing. 
 
The specific pattern of this application is as follows: 
 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #1 and export it as a PDF file 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #2 and export it as a PDF file 
... pattern repeats to report #7 ... 
 
This application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. The problem occurs when I try to run multiple instances of this application at the same time. When I run multiple instances of this application at the same time (against totally different databases) each instance will start up happily and begin running through the process described above. After a few moments one or more instances will fail during the report export. The specific error is as follows: 
 
"Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation." 
 
The error always comes from the call to: 
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName) 
 
I have watched the memory consumption of these instances of my application while they are running. They never seem to exceed approximately 52MB each. At this time task manager reports over 1GB of physical memory free. These numbers lead me to believe that memory is not actually "full". 
 
Here are some specifics about the environment: 
 
Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB 
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 
SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64 
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 
 
Specifics about the C# application: 
 
IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1 
Type: Console Application 
Target platform: x86 
.NET Framework: 3.5 SP1 
Crystal References: 
- CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0) 
- CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0) 
 
Specifics about the report templates: 
 
The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport. 
 
Specifics about the database: 
 
Each database is approximately 1GB in size. The database contains many tables but the reports only access a handful of tables. Each table that the reports access have maybe a few hundred rows tops. Most have less than 100. Likewise, when the reports perform their selections the resulting rowset for the reports is anywhere from about 20 records to a few hundred records tops. 
 
A few items to note: 
 
- Multiple instances of my application need to be able to run on a single machine at the same time. It is a specific design requirement. 
- My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I change the export format from PDF to HTML32 or HTML40 (have not tried any others) 
- The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs. 
- I have taken steps to ensure that I am properly disposing of my CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument instance just after each export is complete. I have tried to use the "using" keyword, as well as explicitly setting the instance to null and calling the .NET framework garbage collector. This did not seem to help. 
 
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Steve

Jonathan & Ludek, 
 
Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys! 
 
I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions. 
 
Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today. 
 
- The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64. 
 
- The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql). 
 
- During runtime I connect the report to the database by looping through the ReportDocument.Database.Tables collection. For each Table found I create a CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo instance, fill in the table name, server name, database name, user ID, and password, and use Table.ApplyLogOnInfo() to apply it. I do the same thing for the subreports collection if there are any. Like I said, about half of the reports contain a single subreport. 
 
- The report templates are currently set to use the "SQLOLEDB" Provider. The Database Type is set to "OLE DB (ADO)". I am not entirely sure what you mean by trying a different database driver. I assume you mean to change the provider? If so, given the fact that we are using SQL Server 2008, what would I change it to? 
 
- If I do not perform the database updates during application runtime (instead, perform them ahead of time and then allow the application to only render the reports) then I still have the same problem. Nothing changes. 
 
- I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem. 
 
- I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know? 
 
- Regarding fragmented memory: It is hard for me to believe that, given the amount of memory free on the machine once all processes are up and running (1GB+), and the size of the processes (~50MB), that a contiguous block could not be found. Maybe there is some Crystal process that is attempting to balloon out of control, but as far as I can tell my application is not getting very big. I will not rule this out of course because I don't know for sure. 
 
- Regarding killing the process once a report is rendered: The problem with this is that the application needs to perform these 7 groups of updates and render these 7 reports in a specific sequence all as part of one complete "pass". Also, this application needs to be able to be able to handle a scneario where one or more instance of the application is started on a single machine at roughly the same time (pointed at different databases). The application actually does work fine in this regard (staying well within the capabilities of my 4GB laptop even when 8 of them are running) except that I always get the same error when I choose PDF as my export format. 
 
- I ran a test today where I changed the export format to HTML40 and started 8 instances of the application at the same time, each working from a different copy of the database. The instances ran a little slow but did complete in good time with no errors. Please note that changing the export format to PDF will cause the application to fail with the "memory full" error if even only 2 instances are running at the same time. The only way I can successfully complete a run with the export format set to PDF is to run only 1 instance at a time. I can run it over and over all day long and it will not fail, as long as only 1 instance is running at a given time. As of yesterday I had only proven that the application would complete when using the HTML40 export format when 2 or 4 instances are running, but today I doubled it again (to 8) and still no failure while using HTML40. This is possibly the most interesting fact about this problem, and is another reason why I am skeptical that memory fragmentation is the culprit. 
 
We would like to solve this problem because we would like to continue to target the PDF format. It is the standard report export format for our applications. If we cannot solve this problem we may call a meeting and decide whether to proceed with the HTML40 export format, or possibly dump Crystal from this project altogether. 
 
Thanks again for your interest in our problem and your timely and helpful responses. I'm really not sure where to go next ... maybe change the database provider in the templates? I will need some specific advice in this area because I'm not sure what to do. Any more ideas you guys have will be greatly appreciated on this end!

Unable to export reports to PDF in BI portal.

Hello All,
I am facing problem when trying to export reports to PDF in BI portal. It gives the error message "Error while generating the PDF".
ADS BI export library is enabled in R/3 as suggested in SNOTE 1836587 and 944221.
I have replicated the issue in the development portal, the export to PDF functionality is working fine for few user ID's. i checked the authorisation trace for the user ID's facing the issue, but no error was found in the trace.
This is the detailed error message. Please suggest on this.

Hi Gaurav,
Check if the URL in the ConfigPort_Document SOA destination is correct. Also, check if the os_libs directory under the /usr/sap/SID/JXX/j2ee directory. If it does, then stop the SAP system, rename the os_libs directory, and restart the system.
Try generating a PDF report.
Cheers!
Hemanth
