Output of Reports in PDF

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is when running reports is run in 6i by default the output is shown in reports previewer. Instead of this i want to show this as a PDF output as a default what should be done to achieve this.
Please let me know.
Now, When i set the DESTYPE as FILE and DESFORMAT as PDF the output gets spooled into a directory specified by us.
How do i achieve it, Please help
Thanks in advance

Oh.. i thought you will hit here at last. But finding the path of the EXE every time in the client PC is not a suitable solution. So we cant hardcode the EXE path also.
But even here, we can handle in 2 ways.
1) Putting the EXE in the PATH variable of the SYSTEM
2) Finding the EXE path by reading the REGSITRY of the client PC.
But our current standards doesnt allows us to take either of this. Because we arent allowed to use HOST commands from the front end.
Anything else we can do to achieve apart from what i have said before
Many thanks for your participation and prompt replies.

Output of Report in PDF Format on the Web

I am running my application developed in developer 6i on the web. When is take the output of the reports in HTML format the output comes fine.
But when I set the report output format to PDF from registry the browser does not open the file & gives the message error opeing file. But the file is accurately created in server's temporary directory which can be opened separately without reports server.
I am using IE 5 & also tried 6.
I have installed Forms & reports server from developer 6i CD without 9iAS.
Somebody gave me the answer that there is some bug in reports server. Is it really a bug ??? Another thing is if it is a bug, it also exists in 9iAS.
Please help me out
Thanks

Output same Deski report as PDF and XLS

Hello,
will it be possible to generate (not schedule) a Deski - Report using Java SDK ?
desired workflow:
- generate/refresh the report to hold new data (User specific, Local specific)
- output this report in Formats PDF and XLS
- store the output - reports in Users inbox
The goal is to generate the report only once and output the same twice - as pdf and as xls.
As far as i saw in scheduling a report, it is only possible to produce one output (pdf or xls), if we need both, we have to schedule twice. And therefor we will have to generate the same report twice.
I found somthing like
binaryView = (BinaryView)documentInstance.getView(OutputFormatType.XLS);
binaryView = (BinaryView)documentInstance.getView(OutputFormatType.PDF);
in RBean for Webi - reports.
Looking forward for any idea.
Thanks in advance.

If you're on XI 3.x, then you can specify multi-format exports using Publications.
Otherwise, you'd need to export to a file using REBean SDK, then Enterprise SDK to create a new InfoObject for that artifact.

Changing the seeded rdf report output from text to PDF

Hi All,
I am trying to change the seeded report "Print Requisition Report" output from text to PDF. I changed the output format in the concurrent program definition from text to pdf. The report is now getting displayed in pdf format, but the alignment of the fields are changed. The output is not printing as it was printing while in the text output format. The output looks very sloppy, with uneven fonts and too much of text wrapping.
I tried some formatting and fields are somehow getting displayed but doesnt look in proper format. I am not able to change the font style in the report builder 6i, even if i change it is printing in the same font style with uneven font size. I think reducing the font size might help, but i am unable to change.We are on 11.5.10.2. Please provide your valuable suggestions on how to go about.
Thanks
Sarvesh

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the information. After the adjustments in the layout and the font change the report is now getting displayed without any clipping when clicked on view output. But when the same report is printed some characters on the left and and right side is getting clipped. Please help on how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Sarvesh

Oracle Reports in PDF output

Hi everyone ,
We are using Oracle 11g.
I have a custom Oracle report in PDF output. In some cases the value is changed. For example, when i run a query in toad i get a value 0.13, then I run my report, check the XML output - the value is still 0.13....but when I check the report output that is in the PDF format, the value is changed to 0.14. Do you have any ideas why it happens? Do I need a special coad in the rtf tag?
Thank you

What command did you type in to run your report in Unix? Did you give the full path of your rdf file. I guess that the system may not be find your rdf file correctly.

Unable to display Crystal Reports 2008 PDF output on smart phones

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but here goes. I am just finishing a large ASP.NET web app which makes extensive use of Crystal Reports 2008 and a CrystalReportViewer control. My users routinely e-mail the reports in PDF format. This works great, except now they tell me that when the recipient of the e-mail tries to open the PDF on an iPhone or Blackberry, it will not open. The PDF's open fine on desktop computers.
Here is the code which generates the PDF and attaches it to the e-mail msg.
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to make these PDF's visible to smart phones?
Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
What happens if you export from Crystal Reports designer?
I just tried if and BlackBerry tells me I am about to download a file that cannot be viewed on the phone. It doesn't say why though.
Going through the Platforms file it doesn't mention smart phones so it would indicate we don't support them in that format.
HTML worked but not pretty. You'll have to see what Blackberry does support. I found this one kbase article from them:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11245&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=206744335&stateId=1%200%20206742756
I'm testing more but I believe this is a blackberry limit and not CR.
Seems they do support it but very limited.
Thank you
Don

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

Exporting a Report to PDF

Post Author: helfrich
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am re-writing a VB6 app to VB.NET 2005. I have a viewer control that I use to display the reports in when I want to preview the report on the screen. The VB6 app can also automatically export reports to PDF format silently (no user input or screen output). I would like to do the same in VB.NET. In the VB6 app, I simply set the viewer control's ExportOptions.PDFExportAllPages = True (I also set the DiskFileName FormatType, and DestinationType parameters). I then display the form containing the viewer with the .Hide parameter. This exports the report without displaying the report on the screen. I have not been able to find any information that allows me to do the same thing in .NET with Crystal Reports XI.
I have tried creating a ReportDocument object, but when I execute .Export(), I get a "Missing parameter values" error - absolutely no other information.
For example:
Dim crExportOptions As New ExportOptions
Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim crFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
Dim crReport As New ReportDocument
crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\Test.PDF"
crExportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = crFormatTypeOptions
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestiniationType.DiskFile
crExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions
crReport.Load("C:\Test.rpt")
crReport.Export(crExportOptions)
This is where the error occurs.
I also tried setting Viewer.Visible = False followed by Viewer.ExportReport(). The viewer does not display, but this prompts for the export filename. The whole idea is for the export to be completely invisible to the user.
I don't care which solution I use:
1. How can I get rid of the "Missing parameter values" error using the ReportDocument
or
2. Is there a way I can use .ExportReport(), but preset the export filename so there is not prompt?
TIA for any help anyone can offer.

Here's a snippet of code from one of my recent projects that should offer some help.
        Dim crOrderPrintout As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = New rptPublicOrder
u2018clear the dataset, give it the appropriate parameters and fill the data adapter
        Me.dsReceiptDetails.Clear()
        Me.SqlSelectReceiptDetails.Parameters.Item("@ReceiptID").Value = sReceiptID
        Me.daReceiptDetails.Fill(Me.dsReceiptDetails)
        u2018set the data source and paper size for the report
        crOrderPrintout.SetDataSource(Me.dsReceiptDetails.Tables(0))
        crOrderPrintout.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperLetter
u2018These are the printing options, Printer, File or Viewer
        Select Case My.Settings.PrintType
            Case "Printer"
                crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
            Case "Viewer"
                Dim frmReportViewer As New frmReportViewer
                frmReportViewer.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crOrderPrintout
                frmReportViewer.ShowDialog()
            Case "File"
                crOrderPrintout.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\test.pdf")
            Case Else
                crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
        End Select
u2018close the report
        crOrderPrintout.Close()
The file option will print directly to a file without prompting the user. As for the missing parameter values if I had to guess either it's the dataset missing a parameter or the report requires a value. Example:
crOrderPrintout.SetParameterValue("ParamName", sParamValue)

Report in PDF format and email it to some clients, using Database Trigger

Hi
Is it possible to run a report in PDF format ad email it to some clients after a specific event through Database Trigger. For example whenever a client makes an entry into order entry table (through entry form), a trigger should execute on Orders table, this trigger should execute or generate a PDF formatted report and finally mail it to Sales team?
I have
ORAS 10g(10.1.2.0.2)
utl_mail configured.

In Reportsconfig.properties file the http port is 7778,
