NI-supported Direct to PDF Report LV Toolkit

NI, that is not right how you moved my idea to duplicate with this old idea from 2010.
My new idea received 12 kudos in 24 hours. The old idea has 60+ kudos but how is anybody to find it? Nobody will even consider an idea from 2010. The ideas exchange system is flawed in this respect.
My post and the feedback received clearly points to the fact that after 4 years the solutions provided for this on the tools network are inadequate.
I don't purchase hardware from NI and I don't do data acquistition. I rely on NI in-built tools and have noticed a steep decline in NI's production of new tools for LV. I don't believe the LV communitiy is large enough for companies to produce good (reliable and proven) add-ons for LV due to economics.
I own the report generation toolkit but don't use it as it's too cumbersome, has too many dependencies and takes too long to develop. This idea is completely un-related to the report generation toolkit.
In my opinion as a long time LV user, NI should develop a library for direct to PDF reports.

Hi battler,
I apologize for any frustration this has caused you. R&D strongly considers the Idea Exchange when we are preparing future releases. My understanding is that ideas are set as duplicate with an old one, such as yours, so that all of the input from customers can be consolodated. This does not mean that your input is not highly valued and not a part of the process of making our future releases, and as it is still a recent post, is something we will be paying attention to.
Have a great weekend!

Reports Sugestion - Data Template Support for Downloadable PDF Reports.

This is something that I miss in APEX reports that I would like to see. Right now I have BI Publisher tied to my APEX install but there are reports I would like to move over but I hate the fact that APEX does not have the ability to use BI Publisher XML Data Templates! It seems like if you have the integration this would be a natural thing to have so you could use complex report and APEX security (as I found a few issues in BI Publisher that are deal killers for running a few of my newer reports directly on BIP). Most of my reports are too complex and would require extensive XPath coding to setup using RTF templates. This just seems like something that would be very useful in APEX.

David:
I should have a whitepaper on this subject by the end of the month.
http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/12/more-changes-to-flexwsapi.html
I know this doesn't help you right now so I will describe how it works. Create a Manual Web reference as described on Tyler's blog, except for the SOAP Envelope, using something like:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pub="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<pub:runReport soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<reportRequest xsi:type="pub:ReportRequest">
<attributeFormat xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_FORMAT#</attributeFormat>
<parameterNameValues xsi:type="pub:ArrayOfParamNameValue" soapenc:arrayType="pub:ParamNameValue[]"/>
<reportAbsolutePath xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_ABS_PATH#</reportAbsolutePath>
</reportRequest>
<userID xsi:type="xsd:string">#APP_USER#</userID>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">#P101_PASSWORD#</password>
</pub:runReport>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
You can hardcode format to pdf if that is all you wish to download. You can also hardcode the userID parameter, reportAbsolutePath, and the password parameter if you wish. Use something like DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT as the collection name.
Now create a page and create a before header process of type Web service that invokes this reference. The document's binary data will be stored in a node of an XML document in the collection encoded in base64 format. You will need another process that converts that to a BLOB and then presents a dialog to the browser to save the document. You can accomplish with a process like the following, after the call to the Web service:
declare
l_mime varchar2(48);
l_name varchar2(4000);
l_base64 clob;
l_blob blob;
l_size number;
l_xml xmltype;
l_ns varchar2(4000) default null;
l_path varchar(255) default '//multiRef';
begin
l_mime := flex_ws_api.parse_response('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportContentType/text()',l_ns);
l_name := 'test.pdf';
l_base64 := flex_ws_api.parse_response_clob('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportBytes/text()',l_ns);
l_blob := flex_ws_api.clobbase642blob(l_base64);
l_size := dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob);
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-length: '||l_size);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(l_name,chr(10),null),chr(13),null)||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
I hope that helps. Stay tuned for the white paper and sample application.

How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using JRC ?

Hi,
Good Day !
How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Java Reporting Component (JRC) in desktop (Swing thick-client) ?
My GUI program will generate a RPT report, then i can export to PDF file, this is ok, no problem.
BUT
i want it direct to generate a PDF report, not a RPT report.
The code like below (2 java files)
ClassA.java
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(XXX, 0);
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "XXX", DomainClass.getXXX());
new ReportViewerFrame(reportClientDoc);
// End of ClassA.java
// Begin ReportViewerFrame.java
public class ReportViewerFrame extends JFrame
       //Initial window frame properties.
     private final int XPOS = 80;
     private final int YPOS = 60;
     private final int WIDTH = 760;
     private final int HEIGHT = 550;
     private ReportViewerBean reportViewer = new ReportViewerBean();
     private ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
     public ReportViewerFrame(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws    Exception
          //Initialize frame properties.
          this.setResizable(true);
          this.setLocation(XPOS, YPOS);
          this.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
          this.setTitle("Crystal Report Java Viewer");
          //Add GUI components to the frame including the ReportViewerBean.
          addComponents();
          //Add GUI listeners to the frame.
          addListeners();
          //Set the report that the ReportViewerBean will display.
          this.reportClientDoc = reportClientDoc;
          reportViewer.setReportSource(reportClientDoc.getReportSource());
          reportViewer.init();
          reportViewer.start();

Does the Report Generation Toolkit support Office 2007?

With the hot-out-of-the-oven Office 2007, Microsoft has done a complete overhaul of the Office environment that we all have spent many years learning to perfection (well.. almost). Lucky those who got a head start as part of the Office Beta program.
Well, NI claims that the current version of the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit supports "Microsoft Office 2000 (Word, Excel, and Graph) or later" and therefore literally also the new Office 2007.
I doubt that the ActiveX API has remained unchanged when developing Office 2007, so let's use this thread to uncover the experience you have with calling Office 2007 applications using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit.
Anyone???
- Philip Courtois, Thinkbot Solutions

We are currently working on a maintenance release for the Report Generation Toolkit to support Office 2007. You can install the current toolkit with Office 2007, but you will have some problems. If you copy the four LLBs from the Compatibility\Office 2003\vi.lib\addons\_office folder on your Report Generation Toolkit CD to the corresponding vi.lib\addons\_office location in your LabVIEW folder after installing the toolkit, things will work for the most part. But you won't have 100% compatibility until the maintenance release is done.

Add hyperlink in a page to direct to a .pdf report in oracle ADF jdeveloper

Hi,
I want to put a hyperlink, which will direct the user to the report. but I am getting the problem with, "where should I put the pdf file" any help please???
here is my code:
<a target="_blank" href="/faces/DocumentationKNM.pdf">Guide Book</a>
what should be the href?

Well, this obviously depends on where the pdf report is on your server and if it's accessible from the web application. For this it must be somewhere in the web root of your application. To access the report somewhere else on the server you can implement a servlet and stream the report from there.
Summary: we need to describe your use case in more detail.

Display report directly to PDF instead of when user selects that

Hi, We have a requirement where we want to export report directly to PDF when user runs a report. We have a Java application where parameter screen for Crystal reports is displayed. When user clicks process button after selecting parameter then a new ReportViewer window appears. Right now after running report user selects export option to export to PDF. They want to open report directly to PDF instead of opening report / selecting export option.
We have Crystal reports saved in BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS. We are using .NET SDK to do this.
Thanks,

You can export and stream directly using RAS.

SSRS should directly upload my report to PDF after taking parameters from user

Hi
I have a client requirement where 6 paramaters are declared in a report. And these parameters are explicitly entered by user who accesses the report. After entering parameters user clicks on "View Report".
Requirement is "View Report" should directly export the report to PDF. Instead of showing it in default viewer.
Some one please help.
It is very critical and urgent requirement which I should complete.
Thanks in Advance!!

Ok, then I hope only by using the SSRS tool we can't redirect as per your requirement. Once it is rendering only we can export to few formats.
Alternatively you can try Data Driven Subscriptions. It can directly send the PDF's. Even there is having some limitations. If your requirement is suitable within those limitations then u can use right ?
Try it! .... All the best

JasperReport, generate pdf report supporting Farsi

Hi,
The pdf report generated using JasperReport is not displaying data in Farsi[inspite of me setting the ENCODING parameter to 'UTF-8], however if I use the same JRML file to generate word, XLS or HTML report, am able to view Farsi values.
Could you please let me know what I need to do so that Farsi characters can be viewed in 'pdf', 'txt' and 'csv'.
Inputs will be appreciated

Suggestion about Report Generation Toolkit

I'm adding report generation capabilities to a labview product test application. The report will be 2-4 pages long with text and plots. For other applications, I've used Word Templates in the past using VBA and Visual Basis 6. I had been planning to use the Report Generation Toolkit, but when I tried to run the examples Labview doesn't find the installation of Office, (I'm using Windows Vista). I've already read other posts about this particular problem and other issues with the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, including upgrading to Office 2007 and beyond and I'm beginning to wonder if there might be a better longterm solution than the Report Generation using Microsoft Office.
The two alternatives that I'm considering are HTML, and Simplicity AI's PDF toolkit (free),
http://www.simplicityai.co.uk/products_services/products/pdftoolkit/
which I still have to investigate. I figure I could always generate in HTML and then print to PDF using something like PDFcreator (free).
If anyone has any comments/reviews/suggestions about the report generation from Labview, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Hello PointOnePa,
What examples were you trying to run? Here's a good example on how to create report in Excel

Which version of LabVIEW and Report Gen you do you have? For Reort Gen 2009, it offers support for MS Office 2007/2003/XP

How to add entire new row at the top of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp

Hi for past 3 days i was thinking and breaking my head on how to add entire new at top table created in pdf report from c# windows forms with iTextSharp.
First: I was able to create/export sql server data in form of table in pdf report from c# windows forms. Given below is the code in c#.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;

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(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPTable inner = new PdfPTable(1);
inner.WidthPercentage = 115;
PdfPCell celt=new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Paragraph("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",14,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK))));

The code executes well with no problem and get all datas from tables into table in PDF report from c# windows forms.
But here is my problem how can i align Title(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) center of pdf report with image named:logo5.png immediately coming to it's right?.
As the problem i am facing is my title or Header(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) is at top of my image named:logo5.png and not coming to it's center position of my image.
Second the problem i am facing is how to add new entire row to top of existing table in pdf report from c# windows form using iTextSharp?.
given in below is the row and it's data . So how do i add the given below row and it's data to my top my table in pdf report from c# windows forms using itextsharp?
as you can see how i create my columns in table in pdf report and populate it with sql server data. Given the code below:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer= PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("Technician22.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);

doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");

table.AddCell(dr[6].ToString());
dr.Close();
table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
So my question is how to make my column headers in bold?
So these are my questions.
1. how can i align Title(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) center of pdf report with image named:logo5.png immediately coming to it's right?.
2. how do i add the given below row and it's data to my top my table in pdf report from c# windows forms using itextsharp?
3.how to make my column headers in bold?
I know that i have to do some modifications to my code but i dont know how to do it. Can anyone help me please.
Any help or guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

How to go to a particular object in drill down detail pdf report?

In drill down html reports I could directly go to a particular object in the detail report from the summary report by using hyperlink destination property in the detail report and hyperlink property in the summary report.
How can I do the same thing in drill down pdf reports? The summary pdf report is opened first and then clicking on any of the object in summary pdf report should direct me to the same object in detail report.
Thanks for your help.
-Jayshree

Unfortunately PDF doesn't support this concept. You could ensure that the detail report has bookmarks, then the user can easily see the different sections of the report.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Unable to print PDF reports on laser printer?

Hi
Our requirement is to print the PDF reports directly on the laser printer after submitting through concurrent requests. We have configured the local printer attached to the user, installed printer as network printer on IBM AIX server and configured the printer configuration in ERP instance. Whenever, we print garbage is printing. Then came across this metalink document (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports From The Concurrent Manager [ID 338990.1]). According this document, i have downloaded PDF converter 'xpdf' through this link http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf.
As far as i know, extracting the xpdf.tar file itself will install this software. Modified and un-commented this line pasta_pdf.cfg file with 'preprocess=pdftops {infile} {outfile}' command. Still the printer is printing garbage.
How to verify that XPDF is installed properly or not?
Regards

I think that means tool is either not installed or not in path:-
"The Xpdf language support packages include CMap files, text encodings, and various other configuration information necessary or useful for specific character sets. (They do not include any fonts.) Any or all of these can be installed by simply unpacking the tar file and adding a few lines to your xpdfrc configuration file (see the README file inside each package for details).
have you seen what needs to be changed in xpdfrc configuration file?
Thanks,
