Landscape Report - Need to resize for printing it portrait

I have a financial report that I run often and it was originally designed as a landscape report. I want to reformat this report so that it will work for printing it in portrait. I don't really want to take a bunch of time to redesign this, I just want to resize the whole thing so that it will work to print portrait instead of landscape. I was originally using my printer driver to do this because it had a resize functionality that seemed to work pretty well for this. Now, however, after that printer died, I can't do that anymore with the new printer's driver. Any ideas how this could be EASILY resized for portrait? I have a bunch of fields in this report and it's going to be complicated and time consuming to mess with it much, so I'm wondering if there's some shortcut to do this quickly and easily. I'm using Crystal Reports 9.

Export to PDF format, it should resize your rpeort for you.

Hi. I need a driver for printer Hp scanjet N 6350.

I need a driver for installing to my iMac, i cany find officially driver Hp Scanjet N 6350. Please help me

I would recommend VueScan, you can get a trial copy to test it with then buy the app once you are convinced it works. You can find it by clicking http://www.hamrick.com/

RGB Logo uses Overlay transparency... need in CMYK for print but color changes in overlay

I am working with a logo someone else created in RGB using the Overlay transparency. When I convert it to CMYK just one area seems to "change color".
I tried inserting both versions here - but it isn't working too well. Basically, in the image below the outline of the "scales" appears darker in the CMYK version for printing. Any ideas on how I can adjust it to print in the same vibrant color the RGB is showing?

fill in info RGB is light (like on your screen) and adds more light when mixed, CMYK are pigments and adds more color or multiplies, when mixed

Need to resize to print BUT do not want to crop image content PE 5.0

I have scanned an image into PE 5.0 The dimensions are:
Pixels: 2321x2915,
Document: 7.737x9.717,
Resolution: 300.
I want to print this image so it fits in a 5x7 frame. It's a portrait and there isn't any room to crop to fit without losing valuable image content. I've tried everything (I think); using my printer options to print to size, resizing in PE 5.0, etc. I still end up with a 'cropped photo'. I tried scanning to a 5x7 size and I still get an irregular size image that won't fit in a 5x7 frame. Is there any way to scale the dimensions of this photo, maintaining aspect ratio, to fit a 5x7 frame without cropping any content?
I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out (very humbling experience :) - so any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Mark & Juergen - thank you so much for your responses. Your examples are exactly what I got when I tried adding canvas and that's not what I wanted; it would only add canvas on two sides.
I guess I've worked with spreadsheets too long, scaling to fit the paper is a slam dunk in Excel :) I was hoping for some creative work-a-round but I guess it's time to get a bigger frame and a custom mat. Thank you, I really appreciate your time and expertise.

HELP!!! My settings are wrong need to send for printing

Hi
I am doing brochure's for my company. I am from South Africa.
I use Illustrator for the brochure, Layout and Text.
Last month the printer had problems with printing the brochure. I discovered my settings are wrong.
This was the settings:
Colour Setting
Settings:     Custom
WorkingSpace
RGB:               sRGB IEC61966-2. 1
CMYK:            U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Color Management Policies:
RGB:               Off
CMYK:             Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
Profile Mismatches: Ask When Opening (ticked)
                               Ask When Pasting ( Not Ticked)
Missing profiles:       Ask When Opening (Ticked)
Then I did research On Adobe Community Help and changed it to the below but its wrong too
Colour Setting
Settings:     Europe Prepress 3
WorkingSpace

                               Ask When Pasting (Ticked)
Missing profiles:       Ask When Opening (Ticked)
Can someone help me to set it right according to RSA printers settings, something like a default setting.
Last Month the printer said the below:
- fonts are not embedded.
- black is not on overprint and is 4 colour black
I never had this problem before, so I have no idea what went wrong all of a sudden.
Now when I open my prevoius work on Illustrator or Photoshop, a small window pops up saying work is not according to this settings, etc.
Please help. Im desperate.
I need to start my new brochure tomorrow
Thank you in advance

You should get a preflight checklist from your print vendor. Here's what I have set in Illustrator...
You should also send the print vendor a press-ready PDF. Not all of the file problems are limted to color settings. For instance...
"Last Month the printer said the below:
- fonts are not embedded. "
When you Save As > EPS, select "Include Fonts" in the selection process; and when Save As > Press Quality PDF, select "Embed Fonts" in the Settings dialogs.
"- black is not on overprint and is 4 colour black"
In Preferences > Appearance of Black, select "Accurate Black" in both screen and print; in your file, set appropriate Black elements to Overprint in the Color "Attributes" dialog.
Whenever you are not sure what the printer is talking about, ask them to explain what they mean and help you fix the problems. If they refuse, ask them where you can get help. Most good shops will be willing to help you.

Image resizing for printing

Hi,
I have a simple applet that prints a gif image provided by a 3rd party. I'm using javax to do the printing. My problem is that the image is printing huge, since it's high res, and I'd like to slim it down. Is there a way to do this within the print classes, or do I have to manipulate the image before passing it to the applet? Pseudo-code is below.
Thank you for any help.
Jeff
URL url = new URL(codebase + "filename.gif");
PrintService ps = (previously defined print service)
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(OrientationRequested.REVERSE_LANDSCAPE);
DocPrintJob job = ps.createPrintJob();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(url, DocFlavor.URL.GIF, null);
job.print(doc, aset);

You should resize the image and pass this to yous Doc objecty.Check this
Image inImage = getImage(new URL(codebase + "filename.gif"));
          int maxDim = 120;
          double scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getHeight(null);
          if (inImage.getWidth(null) > inImage.getHeight(null))
               scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getWidth(null);
          // Determine size of new image.
          //One of them
          // should equal maxDim.
          int scaledW = (int) (scale * inImage.getWidth(null));
          int scaledH = (int) (scale * inImage.getHeight(null));
          System.out.println(">> "
               + inImage.getSource().getClass()
               + " aspect ratio = "
               + scaledW + " , " + scaledH);
          Image img = inImage.getScaledInstance(scaledW , scaledH, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);The rest is yours.

Need Function Module for Printing Rates,Discounts and Taxes in Invoice.

Hi All,
For our Invoice printing I need to get a function module which will provide me the rates,discounts and taxes against each item line of the Invoice No.
Finall it will be printed accordingly.
Can anyone help me regarding this with input parameter example.
Thx in Adv.

Hi,
As far as I know there is no fun module to print all this stuff.
You have to get this data from KONV table by passing the VBRK table KNUMV field.
Then check for all the Rates and amount KBETR and KWERT fields for the respective condition Types.
You have to loop the KONV internal table and write all the condition rates and amounts in the script driver program.
see any Std script for this.
Regards,
Anji

Exporting/Resizing for printing

Help! Please be gentle with me...
I have 100's of images a friend wants me to give them so they can print them.. I don't know what size, some will be 6 x 4 and some might be 8 x 10's
Imported and converted to DNG into LR I image has dimension size of 3264 x 4912 or 4912 x 3264. Some have been cropped.
When exporting them all as a batch, I am confused as to a general settings to use
I am thinking Jpeg Quality 80? Not checking re size to fit and DPI 300.
I have been experimenting and the file sizes exported vary hugely from 456k to 4.29mb for 1 image
Any help is much appriciated
Thanks

Thanks for your replies..... Now I am totally confused! I can't look at LR as I'm importing at the mo....
Ah, the min dimentions to print an 8 x 10 are 2400 x 3000 I believe, so if all of the images are at least that then they would be able to take the memory stick into a printers and get a printed image? what would happen if they chose a 4 x 6 or 5 x 7?
Thanks, really appriciate your help

Need quick help for printer that vanished

My printer was giving me trouble (it wasn't printing when I asked it to); while monkeying around in the printer setup utility, I somehow managed to delete the printer (an Epson Stylus Color 740) from my system--so now my computer thinks I do not have a printer hooked up! How do I get that beautiful printer of mine back in the loop? Thanks!

There should be an "Add Printer" button on the Printer Setup utility, click it and follow the prompts. There is also a menu item under "Printers" that brings up the same dialog

Color profile for print

Do I need color profile for print taged in the file?
I need to print some photos at LAB (photo lab) and they print in color space sRGB.
I have created through Adobe Raw a JPEG file, which has untagged color profile.
Is it necessary to have a color profile for a print at photo lab tagged in the file or better not?
Thank you for explanation.

Since you say the printer "prints in color profile sRGB", it sounds as though you should save your images tagged with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.
If I'm understanding you correctly "Lab" does not mean "print lab", it's an acronym that describes an alternate color space for representing an image, fundamentally different from RGB. Print houses normally don't expect an image to be sent to them in Lab mode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space
In all seriousness, you should ask these questions of their customer service:
1. What format should I provide the image in (JPEG, TIFF, etc.)?
2. Should I tag the image with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile?

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

CR XI landscape report not printing correctly on one particular server

Post Author: BronxJedi
CA Forum: General
I have a report that was designed in Crystal XI (11.5.0.313) that is not previewing or printing correctly when the users access it on our production server. The report is designed as a landscape report, for an 8.5x11 size paper; however, when this report is previewed on the production server all of the data is pushed over to the left, as though the computer is trying to cram it all into a portrait-sized layout. Furthermore, when viewing the Document Properties of the report in preview it says that the page size is 11x17!
This report, I should mention, is part of a web application designed in Visual Studio. When users select a report to run the application actually displays the report as a PDF document in an Adobe Reader window. So, when I mention "preview" in this post it is not the Crystal Reports print preview window but rather an Adobe Reader window previewing the report as a PDF document.
None of the other landscape reports in this application are demonstrating this same problem. Also, the report in question previews and prints perfectly fine when it is run on other computers or servers.
Currently, we have eliminated design flaws in the report as a suspect because all of the pertinent properties in the report's design are set properly. We have also eliminated the users' printer settings as the culprit because the problem exists no matter who attempts to print that particular report and no matter what printer is chosen.
Right now we are operating under the assumption that the problem lies within the server (which is a new box that just replaced one which died...the hardware on this new box is different, I am told by our server guy, but everything else was mirrored from the old box); however, we are unsure of what to examine in our attempts to fix it.
The production server is running Win 2003 Server, R2, SP2 and there are no apparent printer drivers installed on the production server. We are using Adobe Reader 8.0 on all machines that can access this report.
If anybody out there has had this same problem or knows of anything else we can check (either on the production server or within the report's design) we'd appreciate it. Why would only this particular report be exhibiting this problem and why on Earth would the Adobe Document Properties think that the page size is 11x17?
Thank you,
Sean

Once you find an erroneous report, can the report be re-run over the same data (same parameters, same underlying data records after record selection) and the error duplicated?
Can you dump the data read by Crystal in the Detail section of the report? (Verify the data is as expected...)
Can you post the stored procedure? (Please wrap it in markup to keep it readable. A sample of both crosstabs wrapped in the markup would be helpful, too.)

Cannot print Landscape report to PCL printer - Solved

Has anyone been able to print a landscape BIP PDF to a PCL printer?
I am on EBS 11.5.10.2, with BIP 5.6.3, and PASTA 3.0.4.
The first report template I tried creating (Discrete Job Pick List Report) in XML Publisher / BIP happens to have a landscape layout, 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high.
The report is created successfully as a PDF, but I can't get that PDF to print successfully on my PCL printers - the output is truncated on the right. It looks like it is trying to print the landscape report on portrait paper.
Not sure if that makes sense. It is not rotating the report contents to fit on the paper.
I configured PASTA as instructed in MetaLink:
Note 338990.1 - How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager,
Note 356501.1 - How to Setup Pasta Quickly and Effectively, and
Note 365111.1 - How to Setup Pasta for PCL Base Printers
I submitted a TAR/SR on this and they referred me to
Note 421358.1 - Custom Landscape Reports In PDF Format Print in Portrain Orientation
And basically told me what I was trying to do was not normal, and that I should get a PostScript printer. That's not an option, since all of our printers do PCL, but not all of them do PS.
Has anyone been able to achieve this?
Thanks,
Steve

(changed original subject to add 'Solved')

The SR conversation on this topic ended with "EBS does not have any seeded code or driver that can covert a PDF file to PCL, however. If such a third party tools exists, it can be placed (called) within the preprocessing section of the pasta_pdf.cfg configuration file." The documentation recommends "acroread", but I think this is an obsolete utility, plus it doesn't do PCL.
I could not find a third party tool to convert to PCL in the preprocess section of PASTA, while doing landscape, but I did find a third party tool that can replace the "ntPrintCommand" part of PASTA. It is called "GSPRINT", and it is part of GSview. I am on a Windows platform, so this is perfect for me, since it works with the Windows printer drivers at a bitmap level, and no PCL or PostScript conversion or preprocessing is necessary on my part. It takes the PDF as input directly, and prints it.
Here is the essence of my pasta.cfg file now (named pasta_gsprint_landscape.cfg)
outputFormat=text
ntPrintCommand=c:\utils\gs\gsview\gsprint.exe -printer "{printername}" -landscapeThe outputFormat=text so that PASTA will not do anything except preprocess and print. I took out the preprocess, so all it does is print using gsprint.
Since this makes pasta pretty much just overhead, I'm going to look into the option of running gsprint directly and taking pasta out of the loop completely.

BUTTON FOR PRINT A REPORT

Hi Guys!!
Hey, I need to print "directly" in the local printer or in the default windows printer, a report without download it to excell or PFD. Is there a way or a scrip to create a button to do this on the Web Application Designer?
Thanx and Regards!
Luis.

Hi Guys!!!
Thanx for your replies, both answers are very usefull, but i still have some issues applying your solutions, first, the pice of javascript that Arun shows it's very usefull and it works in an excellent way, but, is there another pice of JavaScript that i can use to print without the header line and the footprint and also in an horizontal way?, this is because some reports are to wide to print it as the default print option. i search on several pages, blogs and forums but i cant find something that can correctly apply on this.
And about the button with the command "[LAUNCH_BROADCASTER]". that Pradnya shows, i made the button and insert this command, but when i hit the button instead of the Bex Broadcaster wizard, it shows me an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" window. my reports are published in the BI Portal, not via Bex Broadcaster, is it could be the problem?, do i have to make a setting or how can i solve this issue?
Again Thanx a lot for your replies and best regards.
Luis
