No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

Close the IE window openeded after a Crystal Reports Report opened in Excel

Hi all
I wonder if any of you have an answer for this doubt:
I have developed a series of Crystal Reports reports which I open by using the opendocument command and by specifying the parameter &sOutputFormat=E. It works properly: When the user executes the report, an Internet Explorer window appears , followed by a File Download dialog box where the user chooses wether to Open, Save or Cancel.
This dialog box has a checkbox for allowing the user to "Close this dialog box when download completes". If the user had already checked this option ( for a previous download, for example), then the excel file gets saved automatically but the Internet Explorer window opened at first, remains opened which may seem like the report is still being generated, even it was already saved.
I'm wondering if there's a way to close this Internet Explorer window automatically, once the report was saved.
I greatly appreciate any contribution.
Gabriel Sanchez V.

Hi Don. You are right, as I mentioned, I'm using the opendocument command which gets called via an URL.
Did you mean this is not the proper forum to post my question? This forum is "SAP Crystal Reports Design" isn't it?. Could you please clarify this point?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Layout Issue after exporting crystal report XI in pdf format

Hi All,
I have developed a crystal report in XI version. I have set my page layout properties in the report to be in landscape orientation and A2 size sheet with No Printer(optimize for screen display) option unchecked. The problem is when I export the report in pdf and open the report in pdf for printing, it takes the printer preference settings that are set to portrait and letter format. If I change my printer prefence settings to landscape, it works fine. But, I do not want to change my printer preference settings and want that the settings that I am giving in crystal report designer must be taken for printing purposes in pdf.
I hope, I was able to put forward the question correctly without any confusion.
Can someone please help me out to find a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Akshay
Always quote the actual version of Crystal Reports you are working with. E.g.; CR IX is not quite enough and the best place to find the actual version is in the Help | About screen of the CR designer.
By CR XI, you could mean CR 11.0.x, or CR 11.5.x. If you are using CR 11.0.x, update to CR 11.5 (also referred to as CR XI R2). See this blog on how to.

How do I batch replace 100 different linked images in my AI file and export 100 different named PDFs?

Hi all!
This is driving me crazy...
So I have my A4 AI document with a QR code at the bottom (don't ask why I'm using QR codes, client work) and need to replace it and export the A4 poster as a PDF. I need to do this 100 times with 100 different QR codes and save 100 PDFs.
To summarise I need to,
Open A4 document (that has artwork already).
Drop in QR code A near the bottom.
Export as PDF A.
Repeat..
Open main document.
Drop in QR code B.
Export as PDF B.
And so on x100....
I have a experience with actions in Photoshop but not batch actions or scripts, and obviously need to run it in Illustrator...
Can anyone help?

Once the PC has booted evrything is O.K. I can restart the PC with no problems, it only seems to happen if the PC has been switched off for a while.

After further Investigation it seems that this error is Not responsible for my Blue screening......I started my PC after leaving it off all night, and it started normally, but i still have this error in the Event Log - System.....I have searched the Technet
forums (and there is a lot of ID 1012 errors) but non relating to my problem....If anyone knows what is causing this error and how to fix it, i'd be Grateful....although it does not seem to affect the PC in any way that i can see.

Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case
some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that
a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
Microsoft - Help and Support
If you are outside the US please see
Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.
Meantime we can try some available steps as a general troubleshoot.
1. Please remove the antivirus and run the system with a period. If the issue does not occur, mainly focus on antivirus settings and compatibility.
2. Disable Automatic Restart and see detail information on the blue screen.
1).Click Start, in the Start Search box enter sysdm.cpl.
2).Click the tab Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
3). Uncheck “Automatically restart”.
4). On the drop-down menu “Write debugging information”, choose “Small memory dump”.
5). Click OK.
When Blue Screen displays, you may find some useful information.

Where is the captured avi file ?

After capturing footage in iMovie , how do I access the raw AVI file ? It seems to be embedded in iMovie in the clips pane , but I want to access it so I can do a backup burn to DVD of the footage as a raw file .
Do i have to save it as an avi file ?

The Druid,
You can drag clips from iMovie to your desktop and they'll be copied there.
Alternatively, you can select your iMovie project and control-click or right-click and choose Show Package Contents. Your clips will be in the Media folder.
Just be careful poking around in there. It's an easy way to wreck your project if you move or delete something you shouldn't.
Also, copying your entire iMovie project file is another effective means of creating a back up of your media.

How can I tell if my EMET GPO is in place instead of the local xml file on a computer?

Hi,
I did the following commands on my test machine with EMET 5.1 installed:
emet_conf --delete_all
emet_conf --refresh
emet_conf --list
There were applications that came up but how can I tell if it is really coming from GPO and not the local configuration file that came with EMET 5.1? Am I suppose to see a "greater than symbol" prior to the name of the application or no?
When I ran rsop.msc on the machine, I can see that my group policy in place. But I thought I'm suppose to see a greater than symbol (like below) - which means the list of apps are coming from the GPO:
Executable             Path
Mitigations
>7z.exe                *\7-Zip
DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR
>7zFM.exe              *\7-Zip
DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR
>7zG.exe               *\7-Zip
DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR
>Acrobat.exe           *\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat            DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR
>Acrobat.exe           *\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat            DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray EAF MandatoryASLR BottomUpASLR
>Acrobat.exe           *\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat           DEP SEHOP NullPage HeapSpray
Am I wrong? Is that an EMET 3.1 "thing" only? Please let me know.
Thanks!

Never mind. I got it. If you do an "Emet_conf --List" it will turn out something like this that indicates you are getting your policies from GPO

Contacts: where is the local data file saved?

Where does Mountain Lion store the local data file for the Contacts app?

It isn't a file. It is a collection of files, indexed with a sqlite3 database, which is all stored in your user Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
To get to your User Library, in the Finder, hold down the option (alt) key and select Library from the Go menu.

Not able to download the complete data to the local PC file

Hi,
I have a BDC program where I am creating an Unix file and later downloading the same to the local PC file(Text file).
As far as creating the Unix file is concerned, there are no issues. It is working fine.
When I try to download the data to the local file(in my case.. it is Text file), it is not downloading the complete data. I mean, it is saying that 3,94,654 records are processed. But, it is downloading around 94,000 records only to the Text file. Approximately, 3,00,000 records are missing when downloading.
Can anyone tell me what the reason might be..?
My doubt is.... will there be any limit to the number of records to be downloaded to the local PC file(say text file).
Thanks in advance...
Best Regards,
Paddu.

Hi,
I have a similar program running for over 5 Lac records.
There could be issues with memory. Also check in debug if the internal table holds the complete records. If everythings fine then as suggested in upper reply
Create internal tables with 90,000 records and use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD with importing parameter APPEND = 'X' and with the same filename and same path.
Hope it helps.

How to reduce the size of file after delete some datas?

Hi,
What BDB release are you using? If it's one of the latest releases, then what you are looking for is the DB->compact() method:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_01/html/api_reference/C/dbcompact.html
The DB->compact() method compacts Btree, Hash, and Recno access method databases, and optionally returns unused Btree, Hash or Recno database pages to the underlying filesystem. Please let me know if it helps.
