Overlapping text in Crystal Report

I am working with Crystal Report 2012. I am suppose to create a Crystal Report which may be exported to pdf . It has certain fields with "Can Grow" property. As a result of all this I am facing overlapping text issues due increase in the text length , I don't want to limit the length of text fields. I require an urgent help to deal with this issues.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Dell,
Is this the thing you wanted me to do :
If yes then I did this but I lost the contents of the Group Footer #6b.
Before applying , in-circled are the overlapping text which are possibly lost after the application
Before:
After applying these fields are missing
After:
According to me this might occur due to " Group by " which is removed afterwards.
Waiting for your reply.

JRC Export to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export

We need to Export report to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export using JRC. Is this possible? I see export ReportExportFormat CSV, PDF and RTF only. These exports are working, But I need plain text that looks like Text export of Crystal Reports Designer. I see this working in RAS 2008. What I can do to get this with JRC. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to design reports.
Thanks for any help.

Clarification

Thank you Jitin.
What could be solution to this problem?
If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
Thank you for your time.

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,
I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
Problem: Vertical text header is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
Please help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

Long Text in Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0

Hello,
I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to SAP BW > RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
Thanks,

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.

Arabic Text in Crystal Report

I am having issues in displaying Arabic in crystal report. I am pretty sure that the data stored in Oracle (10g) is okay because when I query the same data using SQL Developer or TOAD, it is fetching and displaying Arabic contents as well. However, when the same query is used in the Crystal report, it is converting Arabic text into some weird Characters like ãÎÊáÝ etc. However, when I type Arabic in Crystal report, it is fine. The only issue is when I retrieve Arabic data from the database in Crystal report and try to show it, it converts it into some weird characters.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 version 12.0.0.x and I used the font of the field to be "Arial Unicode" but still of no use. I even tried changing the font setting from "right to left"; still no use. I have also tried using various fonts like 'Arabic Typesetting", "Arial Unicode", "Arial Narrow" etc but problem is still there.
Any suggestions?

Sorry Fahran - not sure I understand. Are you saying that all connections cause the same issue in CR 2011 with SP 9?
SP 9 can be downloaded here:

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
CR8.5 help, displaying included or not included i
have a win app that calls the report, during rendering of report, the
win app will first create a temp table that holds all the fields for
the report, then the report is accessing that temptable. i want my report to display [not] included text for a field that contains the right value..here is the tricky part, the field is not in the temp table..is there a way for the crystal report to read the value of that certain field that is not in the temptable..so far.. i have a parameter 3 parameters, the value can be B/P/U ?B / ?P /?U each parameter have its own formula: @havefieldvalue if {?B} = "T" then "" else "Not" same for the rest..if the report generated have B then the report should display B - includedsame for the rest..

you can always use an array if there's no pattern to your positions:
var positionA:Array=[ [100,20], [2,222], [55,2], [201,111], [78,23] ];

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadComplete(e:Event):void {
 processData(e.target.data);
function processData(data:String):void {
 var tweets:Array = JSON.decode(data) as Array;
for(var i:int=0;i<5;i++){

tf.text = tweets[i].text;
tf.autoSize="left";
tf.x=positionA[i][0];

Overlapping Graphs in Crystal Report

We have a requirement of designing a drilldown for which we have used Group charts in Crystal report. Our requirement is to plot graphs on 2 different summary fields on the same level i.e we require that on change of Zone, graph should be shown for Average of MTBF and MTTR values in that zone. We are using Crystal Report 2008. There is a limitation in crystal that only one summary field can be shown in a single group chart, so we hade created 2 different charts for MTBF and MTTR and overlapped one on the other and made the graph at front as transperent. MTBF is a bar chart and MMTR is a line chart.
It works fine when we do a preview in crystal report, the top graph is transperent and we can see both the graphs.
But when we are viewing the graph through Infoview, the top graph is no more transperent and we cannot view the 2nd graph that is at bottom.
Can anyone help in solving the problem or is their any workaround to display 2 summary fields in one graph in group chart.
Appriciate any immediate help, we are in a critical stage and need to solve the problem ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Suchi...

Thanks for the promt reply.
We are not exporting the report, We are directly vieweing it in info view.
I have very little idea about infoview. Can you please let us know how we can change the setting for infoview and who can do this. We just have access to Crystal report and the Business View manager to create and use the prompt group and save our rpt file so that we can view it through infoview.

Modifying the lengh of a long text field- Crystal Report version 2011

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the long text field in my crystal report.
I'll desribe the problem:
We work with BW version 7.4 sp 5.
I created a BEX Report with an infobject of type Long Text (Long Text is XL).
I know the length of this field is 1,333 char.
When I run the Bex Report the field is displayed correctly (long text).
I then created a Crystal Report 2011 version 14.0.6.1036 RTM based on my BEX Query.
The problem is that the Crystal report brought this database long text field as a
String[70]. Thus I get only the first 70 characters of the field.
Can we modify the settings of the field to enlarge it to be 1,333 characters in
length?
Thank you,
Ayelet

Jumbled/Overlapping Text on CrystalReports 'Report' (Fixed by 'Disconnecting/Reconnecting')

Here's a fun one for you. Don't get mislead by the title, the issue actually isn't fixed, I just found an odd work-around.
Beginning very recently, most of the CrystalReports reports that are run have the text jumbled on top of each other.
Here’s the kicker, if you leave the report up on the screen and Disconnect your RDP session and then immediately reconnect (not logging off – just disconnecting) when
you come back in the report looks fine/perfect/as it should be.
Last night I ran Windows Updates and rebooted the server twice to no avail.

Hi,
1. What operating system version is running on the server?
2. What operating system version is running on the client device?
3. If the client is a PC, what version of mstsc.exe is installed?
4. What version of Crystal Reports is this?

Ingo,
Let me explain you again, I have crystal report, where I have 4 tables linked. I have one table called SKAT table and I I have SPRAS field in that table which is language key, It will show you all the langauges available in that table.
SAP side, when I enter SPRAS as EN and excute, I see only english records for all G/L description. When I enter German in SPRAS fiels, it will show German G/L Account Description.
But In Crystal Report, I have created parameter for this SPRAS field, User will select which language they want to select.
Now the problem is when I create the Paramter on SPRAS field and I run the report, In the Parameter selection, I see D, C and 1 but I don't see EN.
If user want to see EN , how they can see?
I hope it is clear this time.
Thanks

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Crystal Report for Enterprise not displaying Long Text from BEx

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Has Failed

Post Author: MWheeler
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
I get a setup error as soon as I hit "install" on the English upgrade to 2008 on my Windows Xp Sp2 machine. I am running XI developer edition on this machine. The Window title for the error message is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup Error" and the text is "Crystal Reports 2008 Setup has failed. If this continues contact http:
support.businessobjects.com". I tried to open a Support case on this, but the Create a Case screen didn't have anyplace to enter any data at all and ended up just timing out.

I have got the same error message.
I was unable to uninstall the program from the control panel.
Try to install Windows Installer CleanUp software, and uninstall with this program the previous version on Crystal Reports.

Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character can be seen at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
I also tried doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
but no luck.
If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation!

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;
