Multiple PDF outputs from front-end

I am working on a report that always shows one page per customer. When user generates report from front-end interface, this will call BI Publisher report and report shows entire customers information in one PDF (with X pages for X customers). Users want to see X number of PDF documents with each PDF having 1 page for customer when this report is invoked on demand from a front-end application. Is this possible in BI Publisher?
I know there is bursting functionality, but it is applicable to scheduled jobs.
Please could some one help me to figure out if this is possbile in BI Publisher or not.
Many thanks in advance.

so look at library to work with bip by java api
as example of merging Merging pdf documents using the BI-Publisher API</title> //<title>AMIS Technology Blog &raquo; Mergin…
may be some split method exists
so you can seek for some java api for working with pdf and as your report contain X customers on X pages thus customer per page then you can try to split by page

Exporting to multiple PDF's from one report

I have a requirement to create multiple PDF's from one report.
My thought is that I can I can create a foreach loop that cycles through one of my groups. I would then like to have each file have the name of that group.
If anyone could help me on how to code this in C# that would be great. I need to know where I should be putting this code (program.cs or crystalreport.cs) and how I run it. I am assuming I don't need the viewer for this function, since this is all on my end and no users need to have access to it.
My other requirement is to have each of these reports be put into their own folders at C:\. Thanks for the help in advance!

OK. Yup, you should be able to do this. When I was reading the initial post it looked like you might have ben wanting to export only a certain section of a report (which is a no go).
Anyhow, first thing you want to do is apply Service pack 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
Next, you want to look at a few sample apps and go over some docs. What you want to achieve can be done by using parameters or selection formulas.
A good coding resources is the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23]. Don't worry about the title, it will apply to CR 2008 also.
Next, sample apps can be downloaded from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
[CR 2008 developer library|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.chm]
[API reference|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_apiRef_12_en.chm]
Not sure if you are thinking of this being a web app, but here are some resources for that:
[Interactivity and Reports in Web Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/208edbbf-671e-2b10-d7b5-9b57a832e427&overridelayout=true]
Before starting your project, you should have a look at [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40bccdfd-88a6-2b10-1da1-c47a54b625a7] to make sure you are using the right SDK for your purposes.

Can we run in Background job which can pick a file from front end ?

Hi All,
I would like to run a report in Background job , for this i need to pick a file from front end services(Local drive or share folder)
Is there any alternate FM=>GUI_UPLOAD to upload data from front end services or any other solution for this?
I am getting error=> "No batch" and " Cannot perform frontend function in batch input mode"
Could you please help on this ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Prasad.

Hello Prasad,
IF you keep your file on a shared folder on your front end, you can access it via OPEN DATASET if your application server has access to that path.
You can test it out by asking Basis to try and access your front end file from the app server itself.

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system

Facing challenges during creation of replica of .IDF file/Pdf output from 4.7 system into of Adobe forms in ECC 6.0 system.
If anybody has easy way to make those forms...
Please suggest...

Hi Shabeer,
the first thing is that you are running on a very very low RAM.
For ECC 6.0 with dual stack SAP System to run you should have atleast 4 GB of RAM.
For your Dispatcher issue kindly check the status of your Oracle database and the connection from SAP To Database.
You can check the oracle status using brtools utility.

How to get name of table from front end

Hi,
How to get name of table from front end in EBS 11i?
thanx
Ashish

Hi
Sandeep is correct. The "Help"/"Record History" will give you the table/view name, but sometimes this particular menu function give me a "Record History is not available here." error message.
I then use the following menu functions (this will also give you additional information, like column details).
1) Open Forms
2) Click on Help/Diagnostics/Examine (*you might have to enter the APPS password at this point)
3) Change "Block" to "System"
4) Change "Field" to "Last_query"
The system will populate the "Value" field with the query that was executed in order to populate the form.

Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.
- Todd

Hi Todd,
Please refer to this link:
paper layout & web layout
As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

John

Downloaded PDF file on front end is not opening

Hi,
We have a requirement to open the Master Data Governance documents (which are stored as RAWSTRING in a DB table)
from an ALV on double click.
We are downloading the binary content(converting XSTRING to BINARY) as a file with appropriate extension onto the front end temp directory using GUI_DOWNLOAD of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and opening the file using method EXECUTE of the same class.
Everything is fine and documents are opening in their respective editors, expcept that a few PDF documents are not getting opened properly after downloading. Happened with an excel attachment as well.
The message "Adobe Reader could not open 'XXXXX.PDF' because it is either not a supported file type or....." appears.
Please let us know the way ahead on this issue.
We have gone through the previous SDN forums, but we did not get anything which fixes this issue.
Thanks,
Sampath.

Could you post the non-working code?
Posting the rawstring may also help.

Output for front end

Hi,
I've attended an interview on SQL and PL/SQL yesterday. Being a fresher I prepared only basic concepts. But I was posted a question regarding output for the front end application. The question is
"I'm having an exception in a function from a package. Now I can get that in backend using dbms_output.put_line. Tell me how the front end guy will come to know about the error/exception"
Please answer me

Your question isn't clear.
You can't get the exception in the back end using dbms_output unless you have an exception handler in the function. Then you can use dbms_output to capture the error code and message and use put_line to write it to a buffer.
It is up to the code calling the function to request the text from the buffer.
If you asking how a tool like sql*plus can get the dbms_output text then use SET SERVEROUTPUT ON and when the package function completes all DBMS_OUTPUT text will display.

Grayscale pdf output from Illustrator (?)

Some of my real estate clients want me to do grayscale versions of their flyers in addition to the color version sometimes. Is there a way to take a cmyk pdf that was output from Illustrator (complete with vectors and images, etc) and output to a new grayscale pdf correctly? There seems to be no way to do that in Illustrator aside from editing them within the app (not the best way). Illustrator does a bad job with converting embedded/linked cmyk bitmap images to grayscale...they end up over-saturated and look incorrect.
Converting all vectors is easy with Ai CS3's Live Color, so no worries there. I'm just looking for an easy automated way to do this from the cmyk Ai file.

Right, it's a problem in Snow Leopard. It looked to me as if you were answering the question of what method to use in Snow Leopard, and print to PS is problematic. For that matter, the result is the same if you print to PS and distill or do it in one step by printing to PDF if you use the same settings, so unless you use a watched folder for distiller, I can't see any reason to use two steps.
