Page format issues

My wife has typed in 200 some pages of recipes in to a template with master pages like a cookbook formatted to 8.5 x 11" pages. Now she wants to have them landscape 5.5 x 8.5 pages. Is there a way with out changing each page individually?

You could try the 'booklet' or 'folder card' page layout options. Alternatively, you could change your printer setup to print two pages per sheet.

Batch printing - page format issue

I am creating a smartform in a batch job and sending it to various printers throughout our company. The form is going to the printer but it attempts to print in the A4 (DINA4) page format. I have the smartform set to print (under the Form Attributes -> Output options tab) in Letter format though.
I am passing output_options to the smartform FM. The field that I am setting is the printer (output_options-tddest). output_options is of type ssfcompop. I would imagine that page format would be a field in that structure but I can't find it. Do you know of any other way to change the page format in a batch job via ABAP code?
Thanks,
Davis

The field in the ABAP code is output_options-tddest (that gets filled with the 4 character printer code) and the following:
output_options-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediatly
output_options-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after printing
In the Smartform I went to the Form Atributes page and selected the page format on the output options tab. Then when I created the batch job in SM36 I added a step (an ABAP program) and assigned a printer to that step.

Davis

"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

Page Format different than doc

I have converted a pdf file to a word doc so I can insert into my document but the margins are different and the form is being cut off when I insert. I cannot change the margins on my document do to the large content. How can I get it to fit?

Hello Peter,
All our projects reside on a shared network drive. We both
have access to them. When I say "my PC" or "my partner's PC", I
mean that the project is open on my or my partner's PC. But it is
the same project, not a copy of the project.
We tried your suggestion, and both projects generated letter
size documents on my side, and A4 documents on her side.
Since my original post, we have reinstalled RH as suggested
on a different message board. This did not solve this problem. We
have checked and installed update files from the Adobe site - no
change. We've even had our techies poke around, but they couldn't
come up with anything.
Our only working solution so far is to generate the Word
document and change the page format manually. Which doesn't sound
too bad, except that 2 of our projects each require 17 different
pdf files - so it makes for a lot of manual attention as opposed to
a simple "Batch Generate".
As I wrote in my first post, I'm not sure if this is a RH
issue, so I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks

RTF Formatting Issue for a Conventional Report

Hi,
I have started using XML Publisher. I am unable to do one of my requirement to design the RTF template because of following issues. My report should look like this.
|....|........................|.....................|
|....|....Name...........|.......Value......|
|.1..|......AAA..........|........100........|
|.2..|......BBB..........|........200........|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|....|.......................|......................|
|..........Total..........|....Cont./Sum...|
|..................................................|
|.............................Page.X.of.Y....|
I have a requirement to design a template in RTF like the one shown above. Here I wanted to place a page break as soon as the group member records are printed. And I need to print the sum (this is already stored in a tag in the XML) against Total. But, if the number of records are more than what can be accomodated in a page, I need to print "Continued.." and till it come to the last page where i can print the sum. Also, I need to display the page number right below the Total.
I have created the basic design, but I have the following issues:
I have placed the Total section in the footer and then, Page break (both with Ctrl-Enter and <?split-by-page-break:?>) doesn't seem to be working.
If i place the Total in the body section, i need to print remaining part of the body with dummy lines, otherwise, the Total will come right below the last record. I want the Total to be in the bottom of the page.
Any help in resolving this is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joby

This problem has been solved in 5.6.1 - you can now have a different page format
for the last page, so you could put the summary table into the footer of the last page.
Please check "Last page only content" in the 5.6.1 user guide (page 2-46)
Hope that helps,
Klaus

Save as PDF Page Formatting

Hi All,
I built a tool in Excel 2007 which allows the user to publish a formatted output to PDF. To get around the fact that the excel pulls the printer metrics from the active printer, I had the tool load up the MODI printer and use its metrics so I always
had a consistent borderless printer driver source across all users and all was well.
I have a problem on the horizon though, my work is moving their OS across to 64bit Windows 7 and the MODI does not run on 64bit.
Is there a way to manually define the printer metrics and force excel 2007 to use those as a pass through when creating a PDF, alternatively can I just tell it to ignore the active printer like you can in word?
Failing that Is there a better fixed page formatting method in either Excel 2010 or 2013?

Hi,
Do you mean that you built a tool to load up the MODI printer and use its metrics, but the the MODI does not run on 64bit, so you want to manually define the printer metrics?
Since You said you want to manually define the printer metrics and I think the issue is more related to the feature of Excel, I'd like to move it to Excel IT pro forum.

Reports exported to Excel - Formatting issues

We have two Business Objects Enterprise servers (boxi r2 and boxi r3.1 sp3) running side by side. We find that reports created using boxi r2 and exported to Excel format look fine. When we run the same report and export to excel using boxi r3.1 sp3, we encounter the following formatting issues:
<ol>
<li>All columns do not fit on pages. The last 2 to 3 columns spill over onto extra pages.</li>
<li>There are some columns where most of the values are blank, but when a row is exported that has a value in that column, all subsequent column positions for that row shift.</li>
<li>All rows do not fit on page. The last two rows flow onto a new page, then there seems to be a page break.</li>
<li>On some reports dates are displayed as ######.</li>
<li>On some reports column headings are not centered.</li>
<li>I would appreciate any input that would help us determine a fix for the formatting issues we are encountering.</li>
</ol>
The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.
Here is the code from the application that does the export:
                            ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                            DiskFileDestinationOptions diskOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
                            diskOptions.DiskFileName = filename + ".xls";;
                            exportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOptions;
                            ExcelFormatOptions XLOptions = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                            XLOptions.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                            XLOptions.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                            exportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = XLOptions;
                            rptDoc.Export(exportOptions);
Please note the following details about our environment:
<h5>Report Designers:</h5>CR Designer version: xi Rel 2
<h5>Developer environment</h5>Has the following installed:
- Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
- VS .Net 2008
- Crystal reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Umm, the code you provided has nothing to do with Business Objects Enterprise...(?). So, I'm a bit confused by the mention of BOE and "The report is executed using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" in essentially one paragraph.
Can you pls explain?

Converting files to PDF causing formatting issues.

Hello.
I am experiencing issues with converting an Excel file to a PDF and retaining its format. The first page converts fine, no formatting issue.But every page after that is shrinking the font and making the images smaller. This employee has tried to save the Excel file as a PDF and tried printing it through the Adobe print driver, but both are producing the same issue.
The troubleshooting steps I have taken to try to resolve this issue are below.
reinstall Adobe Acrobat
tried modifying the margins
tried a different machine
Cleaned the Temp folder
Any suggestions on a fix for this?

Hi Bill.
Thank you for the response. I tested what you have suggested and this did not work. When Adobe PDF printer is selected, it looks fine in the print preview, but once the Excel sheet has been processed, the format is not correct. I tested this also with printing a hard copy to a printer, still the formatting looks fine in the print preview. Once the file has been printed, it is not formatted the same. I have also removed the Adobe Driver and installed it again. Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

Hello,
is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
Thank you

Hi Ruhver,
Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting. If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting. When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report.
Try this as a test.
1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
2) Click on the File/Page Setup.
3) Select the "No Printer" option. This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
5) Export it to Enterprise
6) Test this report again. Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format. You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message. This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
Hope this helps,
Jb

Format issue causing iBook navigation problems

Hello!
I created an iBook for a client, but some of the default functions of an iBook aren’t working when it’s previewed on iPad. My question is: since the file format seems to be the issue, what can be done to alleviate it?
Problems
When previewing the iBook on the iPad...
Framing features such as navigation bar, book info, bookmark tool, etc. are missing
The pages lack animated page turns
Right and left page edge riffles are missing
When the iPad is turned vertically…
Pages scroll top to bottom instead of left to right as they should
All images disappear
Basically, the iBooks works mostly well in landscape mode but not so much in portrait mode. The client checked other iBooks to compare and the iBook I created is the only one with problems with the interface functions.
Steps Taken To Save & Preview File
Saved the iBook file as an IBA file. I also Exported it as an iBooks file.
Sent IBA and iBooks files to the client to preview on his iPad (I don’t have one so I can’t preview it myself).
The client opened the IBA file using iBooks Author then clicked the “Preview” button.
The IBA file cross-loads to the iPad and the problems can be seen.
The client also attempted to load the IBA and iBooks files on the Book Proofer application (this application does accept IBA and iBooks files), but that didn't work either. The client told me that are some file format issues unrelated to content, leading me to believe that it's a format issue.
Technical Specifications
iBook Author version I used to create iBook
1.1 (the latest)
iBooks version client used to preview iBook
iBooks version 2.1.1 (April 16, 2012 release)
iPad version the iBook is being previewed on
1st Generation 64GB iPad
File being used to preview on iPad
The IBA and iBooks files for the iBook
Could it be file format incompatibilities? Has anyone had this issue before? I hope the information I provided is useful. Any insight about these issues is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Catrina

Again, sorry, a 'Shared' .ibooks file has the same format as what users download from the store.
You don't need to be in the store to circulate that file. 'private' as defined depends on you. Email that file if possible and/or put it on your own server/dropbox and share the link to trusted individuals.
If you're sending the .iba file to someone that then uses it in iBA, they need to use the 'Shared' menu to generate an .ibooks file, then drop that into iTunes and sync to their device.

Excel Export Formatting Issue

HI,
I am working with CR XI R2 and asp.net2.0.
I am facing some formatting issue when the report is exported to excel.
I have to maintain the same formatting as in the crystal report ,when the data is exported to excel.
My report is a tabular report.I tried exporting the report from Crystal report designer.Not via web application.
I have used the data only option.When i used the other option (Excel 97-2000(xls)) the text was getting rotated at 90 degree but other formatting was not exported correctly.So i found data only option was more appropriate in my case.
I hope same things can be achieved by asp.net also one we get it in the designer.
while exporting from the designer,the main issues i am facing are
    1) In the report some headings i have put at 90 degree rotation.
        When it gets exported to excel the headings are getting exported with 0 degree rotation.
2) I have applied some back groud color for groupfooter and page header.
     This setting is also not getting exported .the report is getting exported with out any back ground color formatting
Is there any way to attach the exported pdf and excel file ,so that the issue would be more clear for you all.
Please let me know if you require more information.
Regards,
smitha

Hi Smitha,
Use the other option of Microsoft Office Excel Workbook(*.xls) instead of (Excel 97-2000(xls))

Migration from crystal reports 8 to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)

Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the formatting issues
Or it's something else
Let me know

CA Forum: General
Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
Thanks
