Landscape Report..

Hi everyone,
I have a Report with orientation as LANDSCAPE.As it more data to print Horizantally i am using LANDSCAPE.But some of the output is TRUNCATING when i print that report.
SECTION
width : 11 height : 8.5 and
CHARACTER MODE
Report width : 80.
with the above properties some of my data is truncating when i print the report.
So i changed the above values to the following.
b]SECTION
width : 15 height : 8.5 and
CHARACTER MODE
Report width : 120
This time when i print the report (During testing).It is printing well.But when it went to server .It got contracted (I mean report become so small even not able to read in PDF format).Could some one help me in solving this.
Thanks
phani

Could it be because A4 is actually 11.5" by 8.5" ?

In fact the ISO standard is 8.3" × 11.7". 8.5" x 11" is "Letter", which nobody uses any more.

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.

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.

We have a problem while printing a report designed for A4 Landscape character mode report.
While printing it is not printing in Landscape even if we set the Orientation correctly.
Can anybody give solution to this?

I belive this is a bug in ORacle Reports 6, for this what we are right now doing is we are copying a exsisting report which is done in 2.5 A4 Landscape, deleting entire body and then building it. Even though its a long way , it will serve the purpose

Urgent : how to display a "landscape" report ?

Hi all
I am developing a report application and my boss wants that the report will have a width of 29.7 cm and a height of 21 cm , so it will have the reverse of the normal report display.
How to do this ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Problem sending a standard landscape SSRS report to a printer

I have successfully used the Printer Delivery Extension sample (_//msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091(v=vs.100).aspx) in a vb.net winforms application to send a 28” X 17” rdlc report to a specialty printer.
However, I cannot seem to successfully send an 8.5” X 11” landscape report (rdlc) directly to a printer without preview or printdialog using the same approach.
I have tried setting the paper size to “custom” in Report Properties in the report design (this automatically reverts to “Letter” due to the dimensions). I also tried reversing the width/height dimensions in the report design and in the “PageWidth”
and “PageHeight” settings in the <DeviceInfo> configuration info for the output emf file. I have tried various combinations of PrintDocument settings (including setting DefaultPageSettings.Landscape=true), with no success. I also tried setting
the DefaultPageSetting pages size to one I created programmatically with the correct dimensions (1100/850). Even though it is defined as a landscape report, I get either a report broken over 2 portrait pages, or a report squeezed into a smaller area on a single
portrait page.
I don’t know if there is a device setting that would “tell” the emf file that this is a landscape report, but it’s almost like that information is not being passed, despite of all the settings I have experimented with.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I have researched this online and tried every suggestion I have read. According to other posts, some others had been unable to get this to work also.
UPDATE: This problem is still unresolved. The report now prints in landscape mode, but the intended 10"X9" report is being compressed into an area 8.5" wide. This is an excerpt of the code I am using:
    Friend Sub Run(ByRef report As LocalReport, printerName As String)
        Export(report)
        Print(printerName)
    End Sub

End Sub
Private Sub PrintListPage(ByVal sender

    Dim pageImage As
New Metafile(m_streams(m_currentPageIndex))
    ev.PageSettings.Landscape

    ' Adjust rectangular area with printer margins.
    Dim adjustedRect As
New Rectangle(ev.PageBounds.Left

                                      ev.PageBounds.Top

    ' Prepare for the next page. Make sure we haven't hit the end.
    m_currentPageIndex += 1
    ev.HasMorePages =

End Sub
When stepping through the code in PrintListPage using debug, ev.PageSettings.Papersize shows a width and height of 1100 and 850, and ev.PageSettings.Landscape is set to True. However, the rectangle shows a size corresponding to 8.5 X 11. In
Dim adjustedRect As New Rectangle(ev.PageBounds.Left - CInt(ev.PageSettings.HardMarginX), _
ev.PageBounds.Top - CInt(ev.PageSettings.HardMarginY), _
ev.PageBounds.Width, ev.PageBounds.Height)
I have tried swapping ev.PageBounds.Width and ev.PageBounds.Height, and actually hard coding numeric values for width and height, and the rectangle still appears to be dimensioned as portrait. Does anybody see what I am doing wrong, and how to fix
this?

With active debug i got following information:
The first mail in the debug-log is with the source code as quoted in my first post, the second mail is when i cut out the part which generates and adds the attachement. I had to make the adresses anonymous, but the second mail contains a lot more adresses then the first, although they both use the same query with same parameters, etc.
Have i done something wrong with the attachements? Overwriting headers, syntax errors, anything? I'm out of ideas...
edit: Had to cut out the debug-log because it is too big. It just said that everything was working ok, but the first mail contains too few adresses and the second (without attachement) the correct number of adresses. I can mail the log, if you like.

Report won't print in Landscape

Post Author: williamk
CA Forum: General
Hello all,
I have a report that was created and published as a Landscape report. However when I go to print it from the Crystal Report ActiveX Viewer it wants to print it as Portrait. This problem seems to be intermittant. Sometimes and from some computers it will print correctly. Most of the time it wont. I went onto the Business Objects XI Enterprise Server and changed the Print Setup for the report to Custom Settings | Landscape | Letter, but it didn't help. Also, when it does print incorrectly I get this message:
Crystal Report Viewer
The report you are about to print is a pre-formatted image of the actual report data. Changing orientation or paper size may result in loss of objects on each printed page. Do you wish to continue?
Any ideas?

Post Author: V361

Just curious, when you say intermittent, do you mean on the same computer ? or that it runs on some computers but not on others ? (Might want to check graphics resolution on the target PC and see if mucking with that solves anything)

PDF Report prints Portrait Instead of Landscape

Hi,
We've created several PDF reports - some that print portrait and some landscape. For the portrait reports, they print fine both from Adobe Acrobat and directly from Oracle to the printer.
When we try to print a Landscape report, it prints as Landscape from Acrobat, but portrait from Oracle. We followed note 421358.1 on Metalink on how to set up a new .cfg file , print style, and print driver for printing landscape reports, but now it's not printing at all when we assign the style to the report. We tried removing -pairs and -shrink from the cfg file (Oracle analyst suggetsion) and it's still not printing.
Has anyone else had this much trouble trying to set up Landscape printing? We're using the acroread tool.
Thanks,
Suzanne

If you've bounced your concurrent manager, double checked your command string and it still doesn't print right, what O/S do you have and what version of acroread do you have? There's a known bug in Adobe 7 on HP-UX where landscape reports will generate in landscape correctly(i.e. copies=0) but when sent directly to a printer, they come out portrait. It happened to us on our system.
I tried -shrink and -landscape but it didn't work. Our user decided to just generate them and print them elsewhere.

Printer Setup for HTML reports (Landscape)

I'm trying to print an HTML report in Landscape, the Report Orientation VI only works with Standard Reports, and I can't find anything that will let me modify the "Printer Setup"
Anyone done this?

Jeff,
To print an HTML report it first has to be rendered. To render HTML, you need a browser. For example, you can render HTML in either Internet Explorer or Firefox or Opera, and all three might render the same data slightly differently. To simplify the situation let's say that you're using IE. Once IE renders the HTML, you then have to get it to send the rendered output to the printer. So you can see why it isn't time or cost-effective for NI to try and necessarily support these functions. For the end user however, I'd guess that quite a few people have had this problem.
I have had to do a lot of digging around to get HTML reports to print right. My solution has been to use an ActiveX container with an IWebBrowser2 object (Internet Explorer). This will let you load and print HTML reports programatically however (glancing back over some old code) I don't see immediately how you can print a report in Landscape. With an ActiveX container however you can call the IE print preview function which will let you (the user) modify the report printing to Landscape. It's not a programmatic solution since you have to interact with the GUI but it works. Also, once you set the setting to Landscape, everything printed afterwards using your ActiveX container will also print in Landscape.
Something else which may not apply to you (but maybe--I'll at least mention it) is printing a landscape single image... that's usually why I needed to print landscape... to print out a full page screenshot of a graph or something. I do this in portrait mode by just attaching the control image but rotating it first and adding the HTML code to make it 100% of the vertical page.
Last but not least, if you are 100% set on using a programmatic implementation to print a landscaped report (no user interaction), the best thing to do would be to build on an ActiveX implementation so that your report is being loaded and printed from an embedded IWebBrowser2 object. With the IWebBrowser2 object there is an option for using a pre-defined print template. This option is NOT for the faint of heart and requires you basically to re-program the whole IE print-preview functionality. However, it's not impossible either, it just takes the time of learning basically how the IE print preview interface works and then adapting it to your application (in this case, landscaped printouts). This is also the ONLY way to change HTML report headers and footers. The print preview interface in IE is written entirely in javascript--you can get details on msdn (search for "print preview templates"). However, there isn't really enough info there to do things with any ease. So....
If you get to the point where you get an ActiveX container working and want to fool with the IE print preview javascript templates, let me know. I have extracted the entire template and associated images from the windows DLL it is stored in so I could adapt it and change the headers and footers for my reports and things of that nature.
Now that I mention it, I believe that is the only way also to actually set landscape or portrait--by programmatically changing the printing margins (so it prints 11x8.5 instead of vice versa).
Anyway, hope that helps...

Report with system configurations of a landscape

Hello,
Is there a way (report, t-code...) to get a report of all components in a system, or systems of a solution. By components I mean, server info (cpu, memory...), installed OS, SAP Version, SAP SP versions...
The aim would be to easily extract the desired info into an excel sheet.
Thanks in advance.

Custom Purchase Order Report

Hi,
We are trying to move away from pre-printed carbon copy forms and print Purchase Orders to our laser printer. To do this we need to customize our Purchase Order (landscape) report to include our Company logo/information and formatting lines/boxes/shading.
What would be the best way to do this?
Is it possible to somehow combine the PO text from Oracle Financials with the PO graphic file (a post script file)? Can the form be changed in Oracle Financials somehow? or with Oracle Reports? Has anyone used or heard of a third party solution that would do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
