PDF export for WAD

Hello Experts,
We have a unique requirement, wherein we have to put some around 10 text elements on the report header.
These elements have to be aligned in the Web template, some 3-4 elements left aligned 3-4 in center 3-4 in right aligned.
I am able to achieve this through putting the Text elements in a table adjusting the width.
But my problem is when I do a PDF export all these text element gets Right justified.
According to an SAP OSS note(1069368) web items are exported sequentially while conversion to PDF.
Can anyone please suggest an alternativer to achieve this? like usage of conatiner/Group etc..
Thanks and regards,
Karan Goel

Hi Experts,
thanks for the valuable inputs. Container with Tables does not work here.. i already searched SAP notes that web items export is not possible through WAD.
only Solution i have found is using report designer layout for export of PDF.
But this has its own drawbacks.
Thanks and regards,
Karan Goel

  • PDF export for  columns formatted as HTML

    Hello,
    I've created a report having some columns formatted as HTML .
    in the PDF file exported from BI Answers dashboard, HTML tags are shown instead of formatted value.
    (for example : "div style="width:100%;background-color:#FF3300">89.12%</div" instead of 89.92%)
    Any ideas how to fix this ?
    BI version : 10.1.3.3.3
    Thank you.

    Hi dragosv,
    I've also encountered similar problems to that. The OBIEE process does not first evaluate the code before it exports to other tools like PDF and Excel.
    Here are two options:
    1) Submit an SR to Oracle and have them declare it a bug
    2) Print to HTML first, then print the HTML to PDF. It adds a step but at least you can download your document the way you want.
    Best regards,

  • Adobe Reader 9 incompatible with keynote pdf export files

    Dear all
    I've been creating lectures using keynote for quite a while and it has been working fine. I'm relying on using pdf export for my students to print out my lecture notes.
    However, since Adobe Reader 9.0, my exported pdf files do not appear right on Adobe -- they look perfect using a pdf viewer but not with Adobe Reader (they seem fine with Adobe 7 !!)
    It's a pretty bad situation, IT services are of no help and don't know why this happens (and are unable to provide another pdf viewer for University computers). I might have to start using a different programme which I really don't want to do.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    I can export as ppt (loosing some of the nice layout) and quicktime but that's not really a proper alternative.
    Btw it was tried out on a number of different University computers (and sometimes, the disappeared text, appears when highlighting the document)
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I just DL'd the newest iWork, with KN 5.0.5, and have Reader 9.4.1. I exported a few of my KN presentations to pdf, and the result was fine with both Preview and Adobe Reader (but then, I had no problem before the update, either). So whatever the problem is, it's not universal.
    But I might still suggest a possible solution for those who are experiencing the problem (which I can't test conclusively, since I don't have it): Once the KN has been exported to pdf, open the pdf file with GraphicConverter, and then save it as pdf (to make sure I was saving a whole new file, and wanting to test it against the original version, I changed its name a bit). For me, again, both Preview and Reader open the new pdf file fine. But my theory is that saving with GC might possibly alter the file sufficiently to make it good for Reader, when it wasn't before.

  • How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

    Hello,
    I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
    I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
    Date Name
    2011 Leina
    I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
    I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
    1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
    2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
    It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
    Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
    Thank you !
    Edited by: leinadjan on Aug 1, 2011 11:15 AM

    To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
    table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
    By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
    table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

  • SSRS 2008 R2 - Column Headers of a tablix visible while scrolling - Then the column headers not visible on 2nd page onwards for PDF EXPORT. it's vice versa. Hence it is possible to provide both at same time ?

    Hi,
    I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
    I have two TABLIX in a report.  One is TABLIX with row/clumn grouping. 2nd one is flat view.
    Here each tablix is dispaly it's data on single page for each.
    My Requirement on First TABLIX is:
         1. I have to make column headers visible on scrolling down
         2. Export to PDF - column headers must be visible on all the pdf pages  for same tablix data.
    But ... either one is achieved at my end.
    so ... any suggestions please to achieve both at same time.
    thank you in advance.
    best regards,
    venkat.

    Hi G.V.Naidu,
    According to your description, the first tablix is matrix to use display data.
    In SSRS, if we want to fix matrix header visible while scrolling and repeat header columns on each page, we can select the corresponding option to enable this function. Please refer to the steps below:
    1. Right click tablix, and select Tablix Properties.
    2. Select “Keep header visible while scrolling” and “Repeat header rows on each page” to enable these function.
    If we are use table to display data, please refer to the article about Repeat Header / Keep Header Visible in Tables.

  • Crystal Reports for VS 2010 corrupts "some" Thai chars on PDF Export

    Any Thai character that contains a symbol above it (like an umlat in English) gets corrupted when exporting a report to PDF, yet the same report can be exported to Excel or Word without any issue.
    See the following character - once with a symbol above one without:
    ล้ ล
    The PDF file will not display the first character - instead it displays the second character overlayed on a box (like you get when the font does not contain the required character)
    If I create a text field in the Crystal designer, it does the same thing - but when I right click and edit, it displays correctly - until I click out of the field when the problem returns. So this suggests the problem is before the PDF export and maybe with the designer - but then why does it work if i export to Word?
    I have tried may different fonts - including those specifically recommended and used by the Thais, but all have the same issue.
    My work around at the moment is to use Word instead of PDF, as I do not believe there is a configuration change I can make that will resolve the issue, but would love to hear otherwise.
    I am using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 version 13 running on Windows 7 x64. I have a beta 2 download of v14, but it requires a key code which i do not have, so as yet ahave been unable to verify if this issue is resolved in that version.
    if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know
    Cheers
    Jed

    Thanks Don,
    (Good to know that version 13 I am running is the correct one)
    I have tried many UTF-8 fonts, with largely similar results, but this testing here is with Cordia New - a font largely aimed at Thai Language and the one our Thai customers always use.
    I have confirmed that right click and export from the IDE still shows the box on certain characters - but note that the box does not replace these characters (as would be the case if they were missing) but rather overlays them - which is why my subject includes the word 'corrupt'
    All testing so far in on my Windows 7 development machine - so no user issues are involved
    The code if fairly simple at this stage - define and load a data set - then link it to the report and use the built in export to disk functions:
                    OutboundSummary rpt = new OutboundSummary();
                    rpt.SetDataSource(outboundSummary);
                    string tempDir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP") + "
                    string filename = tempDir + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss");
                    rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename + ".pdf");
                    rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, filename + ".doc");
    If anyone wanted to verify, here is a piece of Thai text that will show the problem
    ผลรวมแฟกซ์ที่ยังอยู่ในคิว
    To better illustrate the problem, the attached image will help
    [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/hweh42.jpg[/IMG]
    I am coming to the conclusion that perhaps these characters are not single characters - at least do not appear as such with each font - and perhaps Windows does some magic to make them appear correctly. I can see that Word automatically converts them to a suitable font - i.e. a mixed language text file imports into word with different fonts for different languages - and you cannot change the font to one that does not support the language. I can specify Arial from Crystal which does not contain thai characters at all - but export to word and they show correctly.
    Crystal spits the data out and Word converts it correctly, but acrobat does not - so maybe it is their fault?
    I have all language packs on my machine - and doing Chinese next suggests that even if I find a thai font that worked, it would not work in chinese, so am thinking word or rtf might be the winner.
    Cheers

  • I've just subscribed to Acrobat PDF Export in order to convert pdf files back to Word.  Where is the icon for my desktop.  I don't seem to have the program to do so?

    Where on my PC do I access the PDF Export to convert pdf to Word?

    A very good morning John,
    As far as I have understood, there is no problem with ExportPDF. You might need to check whether the fonts in your PDF are embedded or not.
    For this, open the PDF in Reader/Acrobat and go into File>Properties and click on Fonts tab to check for the same.
    If the fonts used in the PDF are not present in the system, then MS Word may not be able to retain the layout of the file.
    Please check.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Exporting PDF format for web viewing, fonts look bad

    Hey everybody I'm relatively new to indesign so sorry if this is a simple one. I'm doing a newsletter in indesign, which will be used stricktly for web viewing. Whenever I export the file as a pdf the body text fonts look a bit off, as though they are slightly pixelated around the edges. This is not as noticable in the artcile titles with larger font, but any smaller font (i'm using size 14, and futura book) and it gets this pixelation, it is even more noticeable in the thinner type sets of the font. Another odd thing is the first page of the newsletter the fonts are more messed up looking than the following pages where the same font types and sizes are used, the only major difference is the first page has a photo on it, but the fonts that look weird are below the photo not overlaying it or anything like that. I turned off all the compression on the pdf export, also tried it will varying amounts of compression but still have the same issue. And I am viewing this in Mac's Preview program, not acrobat.

    Ok, just checked through all the flattening preview highlights and everything looked fine in that. Since my exported document looked perfectly fine in acrobat, but sort of pixelated in mac's preview, is there any way around that?
    If you are serving the PDF via a web address it will very likely be viewed in a browser (not downloaded and opened in an app like Preview or Reader). All of the browser displays have slightly different anti-aliasing, which you can see if you zoom in on a screen capture of the text. Here's a line of text from your PDF at 100%, magnified to 400% in Photoshop. From top to bottom Safari, Chrome, Firefox:
    There's nothing you can do about the anti-aliasing quality of the different browsers and apps. The PDF you posted has live transparency, so it isn't a flattening issue.

  • Maximum Image Quality for PDF Export

    I'm having a pretty big pain with some of my images, and I wanted to make sure that when i'm exporting my document to a PDF, I'm getting the very best resolution possible. I've attached a screenshot of the settings I'm using... are these the best settings I can set for getting the best resolution from my PDF
    export?

    First, the cost of printng isn't necessarily directly related to quality. There are too many factors such as full color and additional spot plates, the size of the run, and the size and type of the press to make any judgements based on price, not to mention the skill and standards of the printer. And then you still have many printers willing to do the same quality work at a variety of prices depending on location, market, and how busy they are. Kind of like making a genearlization about the price of a car.
    @ Luke, setting downsampling to none will guarantee that all images are sent at full resolution, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. As already pointed out there is no advantage in sending more data than required to print the image. The OP has alread chosen ZIP compression, which is lossless, so he isn't introducing any jpeg artifacts, so all the downsampling is doing is setting a ceiling above which images will be downsampled. Images below that threshold will be sent at full res.

  • What PDF export settings to use for highest possible resolution printing?

    I use indesign to create a roughly 68-page marketing booklet. The document is landscape and setup to print on 8.5" x 11" as a landscape book with facing-pages. I upload a PDF to a professional printing company to print a full bleed booklet. The book usually includes roughly 15, full-page, high resolution images as well as numerous other high resolution images throughout so it is important that the resolution is as high as possible and the images come out clean when printed.
    On my old computer, I had a custom PDF export preset that I used to produced hi-res, print quality pdf's that were approximately 528MB in size.  I recently got a new computer and I lost that old Preset...  Now, when I use the "high quality print" default setting, the file size is about 74MB, much lower than what the documents used to be. I have played around with some of the settings, but I still cannot get the files to come out near as large as they used to be. 
    Is this an Indesign doument setup issue, or an export issue?  What settings should I use in order to produce the largest, highest-quality, highest-resolution PDF possible?
    Thanks for an input and guidance!

    The size in mb is pretty much irrelevant and is going to vary with the number of pages and the type and quantity of graphical content.
    The HQ Print preset downsamples  raster art to 300 ppi if it's over 450, and uses jpeg compression to reduce file size. This is usually more than adequate for commercial printing. For fine art printed at a 200 lpi screen you might want to change the downsampling to 350 or 400 ppi and use zip compression (lossless) or no compression at all. I suspect your custom preset used no compression, and might not even have downsampled, but there's no advantage to sending more image data than the RIP needs to process the image.

  • RDC XI R2 - Documentation for pdf export registry options

    Where can we find documentation explaining the various registry options for controlling pdf export behavior?
    For example, ForceLargerFonts, UsePrecisePositioningForText, etc...

    Actually you can find a kbase and blog...
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=1435991
    Short story is, set for CR 2008 but I verified from our source code it does exist in XI R2 also:
    How to enable the registry keys for PDF exporting?
    - Open the regedit on the machine and set the registry key at the similar location below:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal ReportsExportPDF]
    The following are the registry keys for PDF exporting:
    u2022     ForceLargerFonts
    Purpose: To deal with text truncation issues.
    Value:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal ReportsExportpdf]
    "ForceLargerFonts"=dword:00000001
    0 u2013 disable
    1 - enable
    u2022     UsePrecisePositioningForText and TruncationAdjustment
    Purpose: When "ForceLargerFonts" doesn't work, implement this one. This one is to deal with text truncation issues as well.
    How to use:
    The new behaviour is controlled by two registry keys,
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.0Crystal ReportsExportPdf]
    "UsePrecisePositioningForText"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.0Crystal ReportsExportPdf]
    "TruncationAdjustment"=dword:00000005
    The new behaviour is turned on when u201CUsePrecisePositioningForTextu201D is set to 1.
    u201CTruncationAdjustmentu201D is used for adjusting rounding. Itu2019s only activated when u201CUsePrecisePositioningForTextu201D is set to 1. Its valid values are 0 to 10. Default value 5 should be sufficient for eliminating virtually all truncation issues.
    Itu2019s worth mentioning that u201CForceLargerFontsu201D setting is ignored when u201CUsePrecisePositioningForTextu201D is set to 1.

  • PDF Export - How do I resample images for 25% print?

    Using OSX 10.6 and CS3 504.
    I've built 6x large format pages at 1885mm x 600mm that will be printed on an HP5500.  Content includes text, images, and objects with fills/strokes etc.  All images have been resampled in Photoshop to produce an effective resolution of around 150dpi for printing at full size.
    My printer is going to do a test print for me, at 25% final size.  He has asked for images to be no less than 100dpi for 100% output.  He has asked for Generic CMYK so I'm using the PDFx1a2001 preset.
    As recommended on here in a previous thread, I've placed each of 6x pages of the 100% PDF (75mb) into a new document and scaled each down to 25%.
    I then export to PDFx1a2001 again, and the resulting PDF is 45mb.
    My question is, how do I give him the most efficient file that will:
    take ages to transfer to him
    not be too large for him to process
    give me good enough quality to see how things look.
    Do I need to change the resample numbers in the PDF export dialog?  Or should this be OK?
    Many thanks.

    You can print the original PDF to a PostScript file at 25% and run it through Distiller if you have it. But I would just export a 100% file with images at 25 ppi and have the printer scale down when printing.
