Junk in Pdf Report & rwconverter.sh

O/s : Solaris, Application Server 10g
1. Basic Q: Do I need deploy .REP along with .RDF on application server 10g? or only .rdf is ok !.
2. reports in pdf shows junk instead of Arabic ! My db is using ar8mswin1256.
3. when I run
rwconverter.sh userid=modtest/modtest@test10g source=/oraas/ias10g/MID/forms/modtest10g/ALLOWANCEPERSONS.rdf stype=rdffile dtype=repfile batch=yes compile_all=yes
it is converting to .rep but displaying REP-25200 also.
BUT when i run (by removing batch)
rwconverter.sh userid=modtest/modtest@test10g source=/oraas/ias10g/MID/forms/modtest10g/ALLOWANCEPERSONS.rdf stype=rdffile dtype=repfile compile_all=yes
then I click ok when converter window pops-up. But no 25200, and rep file is generated??
any idea ??
thanks to all who stopped here...

Hi Mubeen,
Check out 275328.1 on Meta link. This document just went across my eyes today. If I am not wrong it should say something like..
REP-25200 : Converting 'tmp/abc002.rdf to abc002.rep..
sometime followed by another error
REP-0759 One or more PL/SQL Libraries have been modified since the report was saved.
These messages are usually shown for informative purposes and in either case you must get a REP file generated. Please go through the document.

Hi,

I tried the same in 9ids , which is working properly. I have done exactly the same setting in 9ias, but it is not working.
The Oracle ias report service dialog shows version 9.0.2.0.3
My 9ias settings
NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.KO16KSC5601
In uifont.ali the settings are
[ PDF ]
.....ZHT16BIG5 = "MSungStd-Light-Acro"
.....ZHS16CGB231280 = "STSongStd-Light-Acro"
.....KO16KSC5601 ="HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro"
Installed the Korean font(HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro) from Adobe site
the font file HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro exist in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Resource\CIDFont
also installed the asian Suit 2000(Union Way) on the ias server.
I have checked the Smoothing display option also in Acrobat 5. The Document font is showing
Origial font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID) Encoding=KSC-EUC-H
Actual font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID)
Anyone please let me know do i need to do any other changes or i need to apply any patch . Please reply, Thanks in advance
with Regards
Rohit.

Hi Navneet,
Thanks for the immediate reply.
As such there is no change in both the report servers , same output in win2000 and win2003. I am generating the rep from 9ids for both 9ids and 9ias, and i am using font UWKMJF which is korean charecter support, but 9ias is generating some junk charecters with spacing , 9ids is working fine.
The PDf Document font is showing
Origial font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID) Encoding=KSC-EUC-H
Actual font = HYSMyeongJoStd-Medium-Acro type=type1 (CID)
which is same as 9ids, but the data displaying in the pdf are not proper.
As you mentioned about the patch, which patch i have to apply. can you please also mention the patch numbers.
Please help me.

Apps 11i (11.5.10.2) on Sun Solaris Postscript / pdf reports issues

Hi,
We are using Oracle E-business suite 11.5.10.2 with UTF8 Characterset on SunSolaris.
We have some custom reports with text as output format and they work fine. Now
I changed the output format to pdf on concurrent program definition screen,
then submited concurrent request, output is generated but it all junk
characters.
Then I changed standard concurrent programs "Active users" output format to
pdf, then submited concurrent request, output is generated but this is in
proper text, it is not junk characters.
Then in the metalink I found the note 340695.1, then I understood that this a
limitation with UTF8, then I changed the custom concurrent program output
format to postscript, then submited concurent request, output generated and
opened with ghostvewer and still the output is junk characters.
Then I changed standard concurrent program "Active users" output format to
postscipt, submitted concurrent reqeust, output generated, when viewed this in
ghostviewer it is all proper text, it is not junk characters.
My question here are:
1) Is there any thing we are missing here
2) How come standard reports works but not custom reports
Do I need to configure anything else..
I appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks
Giri

The best way to use PDF reports in 11.5.10 is via XML publisher.

Oracle Reports - PDF report

I have a PDF report designed using oracle report builder 6i. This report has a margin that prints the total of all the quantities to be ordered via a QUOTE. If this report prints beyond one page, then the total will print on all the pages. Users do not want to see the total on all the pages but only on the last page. I really need to keep these total fields on the MARGIN section of the layout. Is there any way, i can still keep these fields on the margin and print them only on the last page of the report? The report builder do not let me set the 'print condition' as the 'last page' because it is in the margin section. Any idea on this issue??

I would create a trigger for your MARGIN totals so they print only on the last page.
Have the trigger return TRUE if current page = total pages, else return FALSE.
This will make sure your margin totals are only visible on the last page.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:

Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));
cell.Colspan = 6;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);

table.AddCell("No.of Reuse");
table.AddCell("Verification");
table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());
table.AddCell("@count".ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[12].ToString() + "-" + dr[13].ToString());

var writer2 = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

Example: Clicking in a button "print" on my already open and filled pdf form, and gathering all my 30 itens (see that i am only showing 5 itens on my form. but on my form exists a "Add" button to add itens on variables) on a dropdown list and generating a new pdf report with all these itens listed.
Thanks!

Report Logo - Displays on HTML, not on PDF report

Hello once again Gurus.
We have a system environment setup where we have BI Publisher Enterprise and Apex 3.1.2 talking together to create PDF reports on a Oracle 10g database (R2 I think, I'm uncertain). As part of a business requirement, depending on what project you are looking at within our apex application, when printing a report you see a logo specific to the project. We have already developed this using a RTF template with a dummy image embedded, and +url:{concat(.//URL,.//PROJECT_ID)}+ in the Alternative Text field of the Web tab of the Format Picture dialogue.
This worked fine when using the RTF templates as Report Layouts within Apex and as templates within a BI Publisher report.
However, now logos aren't appearing.
I am not sure if we have upgraded the version of BI Publisher, but we are running Apex 3.1.2.00.02 on Dev and Apex 3.1.1.00.09 on test and prod, however none of these environments are outputting logos in the PDF reports.
Curiously, if I go into the BI Publisher interface and ask for the report to be outputted as HTML, the image shows. Running the HTML version of the report from Apex also shows the logo -- but the logo isn't showing in the PDF reports.
As I continue trouble shooting, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: We are on BIP 10.1.3.2

If anyone could give us any insight on this, it would be appriciated.
I'm unsure if its a permissions problem with the PDF seeing the image, or something related to server setup. We currently have a redirect in place to production that doesn't include the :7777 in the URL, and for some reason, if the G_URL for the image is changed to this portless URL, the image is embedded. However, this redirect was in place for another application, and will soon be locked down, so is not available for a long term solution to this problem

Custom Filename for PDF Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to download pdf for a report. I provided the download action as a column link on the report. Clicking the link I direct to the URL for the custom report I created (f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT= MyReport). Pdf gets downloaded with the name MyReport.pdf. But I need to provide a custom name for the downloaded pdf, it should be based on the Id value of the report column something like this Emp123.pdf where 123 is the employee Id (selected row's employee id value in my report).
I searched in the forums and came across this thread APEX 3 PDF Report Export Custom Filename? but here its mentioned that
" In this case there's no separate attribute for the file name. And we don't do substitutions on the report query name, so setting the name dynamically as you described in your sample, won't be possible. "
Since the thread is a old one so posting a new one. Any pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh

1. Call the report with utl_http.
2. Store the output as a BLOB. Either local variable or store it in a table.
3. Print the blob.
Here is how you can print the blob and read the package spec for utl_http.

Displaying both Hindi and Arabic numerals in Oracle 10g PDF report

Hi….
Oracle experts told us to ask “In how many ways we can do it in oracle?” instead of asking “Can we do it in Oracle?” , I need ONE way to solve the following problem, it toke to much time and I don’t know if it can be solved !
The problem:
Can we print in - Oracle 10g reports - a PDF report with BOTH Hindi and Arabic numerals?
Well, at design time everything is fine, you can use right-to-left, left-to-right and the print preview is showing BOTH Hindi/Arabic numerals fine, but when I tried to produce it as a PDF, unfortunately its not, means its either all Hindi or all Arabic numerals !
I tried everything possible, environment variables: NLS_LANG, REPORTS_BIDI_ALGORITHM, and REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERLS, setting Digit substitution to Context in windows regional settings, uifont.ali is modified properly according to metalink note, but nothing solved this issue!
I noticed something, when I used the DESTYPE=printer and DESNAME=PDF995 (one of the PDF printers) , it worked fine , means the problem could be in the generic PDF generator of the Oracle reports server,
But even with PDF995 you still need to feed the file name, which is not suitable for multi-user environment that need the report to be displayed via web browser.
Does anybody face this before?
