PDF format printing problem... (complex 6i reports conversion to 10g)

Hi All,
I hope somebody has solved this problem and could give me a hint. We have a lot of complex reports in 6i (client\server) and PDF format is the only option for us in 10g, I believe.
The previews of the report in 6i and 10g (PDF format) are very similar. When we send the report to the printer from 6i preview, the printout also looks the same as in the preview (with about 3mm sides margin), but when we print a PDF version of
the report with the default settings for Acrobat Reader, the printout gets huge
margins and it is absolutely unacceptable for our company. When we change “Page Scaling:” to “None” in Acrobat Reader printing settings, some information of the report doesn’t get printed on the paper (being cut off). This report has a landscape orientation and a legal paper size and these settings are also setup in the printer driver as default (for Oracle PDF writer). The testing was done on the developer workstation with local OC4J and a local report server (10g iDS).
I also tried to generate this report into PDF file by Oracle 6i Reports (client-server). Same problem. In Acrobat in looks fine, but in Acrobat preview, it only looks OK
when "Page Scaling:” is set to “None”, however, when it gets printed the report
data is being cut off (left and top parts). If "Page Scaling" is set to "Fit to
Printable Area" (default), the report on paper gets resized with huge margins.
I hope it is not an Acrobat Reader v8 problem.
Thank you

Hi,
Was it a character mode report? While converting character mode reports to bitmap reports you have some layout problems. You might be facing similar issue it seems.
And there are many other formats supported by Reports 10g, not only pdf.

  • PS CS5 PDF Large Format Printing Problem

    I had to create a file for a sign (9 feet by 20 feet - 100 dpi) in PS CS5. Problem is I now need to send it to the sign printer. I need to make a PDF from the file but the save as makes the file size bigger than the PSD even with changing the compression settings. The other problem is I cannot print to PDF as when I try that the Acrobat X save as dialogue box never appears. The screen just goes back to the artwork. I have deleted the preferences, reinstalled Acrobat, etc. What can I do here?

    To maintain vector output capability from Photoshop in PDF you can't output PDF by way of printing and using Acrobat Distiller. From the File Menu you choose Save As and then select Photoshop PDF from the list of file formats. It will retain vector data from embedded fonts and vector shape layers. I just tested it using Photoshop CS 5.5 64-bit and then viewing the results in Acrobat X.
    That being said, Photoshop is a crude tool for passing along vector-based artwork. I don't like the vector shape layers feature very much at all because I find it very user un-friendly. I very much prefer to use Adobe Illustrator in conjunction with Photoshop. It's so much easier to control. I often paste AICB formatted paths into Photoshop's paths palette via the clipboard and then use the vectors as sources to create fills and other things. I'll manually create clipping paths on photos in Photoshop and save TIFF images with the clipping paths active to knock out the background when placing the TIFF in an InDesign or Illustrator layout. I'll create other vector objects in Photoshop to later export in .AI format to Illustrator. Ultimately the end result winds up in Illustrator as a single page layout or in InDesign as a multi-page layout. Both Illustrator and InDesign are far more capable than Photoshop at combining vector-based art and raster-based art together. When you save a PDF from InDesign or Illustrator there is no doubt your raster content and vector content will remain intact. Like the solution with Photoshop, in InDesign and Illustrator you simply choose to save the file in PDF format. No need for using the print to PPD and Acrobat Distiller post process step. Distiller comes in very handy for creating PDFs from lots of non-Adobe applications.

  • Printing problem in Web report (PDF)

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    I have resolved this, there are two ways to do it.
    1. Save the report to hard drive & then give print out.
    2. Reduce the length of URL less then 254 it will work
    Thanks

  • Why does the first page of construction plans in pdf format print correctly, while the drawings on other pages shrink?

    Help! I am trying to print out construction drawings saved as a pdf to a wide format printer. The first page prints correctly, no matter what page I start on. The rest of the pages have the drawings way too small and off center. I am having to resort to printing each page separately. Why is this happening?

    Hi there ashp,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Formatting/Printing Problem

    I am new to Pages, so maybe someone can help me... I put together a newsletter, using one of the templates, in Pages 06. It says it is set up to print on an 8.5x11 paper, the rulers confirm it in Pages (both visually and in Print SetUp), but when I go to print, it shrinks the document and moves it to one corner of the page. It is exporting into pdf the same way. I don't know whether it's a formatting problem or a printing problem, but I need it to cover the entire page and be the correct size. Any help would be great!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Do you have Comments turned on? In Pages 2/iWork '06, there is no warning when you go to print.

    When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.

  • Printing problem in ABAP report

    Hi All,
    I have a ABAP report with line size 225 and line count 65. We are taking print out of the report on Dot matrix printer.
    When taking the printouts, while going in to the 3rd page the logo on the top of the page is getting printed on the data and further going down as the pages are getting printed.
    Please suggest how to control this so that the logo gets printed on top for every page.
    Hope I'm clear.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have used the no standard page heading.
    We are taking prinouts on a letter head page.

    Good Bye

    Vector fieldVector = new Vector();
    SPParameters spParams = new SPParameters();
    ReportFactory     reportFactory = new ReportFactory();
    // Setteing the report Name (Path Appended)
    reportFactory.setReportName(ReportsCoreDataConstants.REPORT_PATH.concat("Test_Rep2.rpt"));
    //Setting the parameters for the report
    ParameterField paramFeilds = null;
    System.out.println("fiscalYearCode:"+fiscalYearCode);     
    paramFeilds = spParams.createParams("IPFISCALCODE",fiscalYearCode);
    paramFeilds.setReportName("");
    fieldVector.add(paramFeilds);
    //Creating the ReportSourceInstance
    reportFactory.setFields(fieldVector);
    String exp = "";
    try {
         ReportFactory l_reportFactory=null;
         l_reportFactory = reportFactory;
         if (l_reportFactory != null) {
         CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
         viewer.setParameterFields(l_reportFactory.getFields());
         viewer.setOwnPage(true);
         viewer.setDisplayGroupTree(false);
         viewer.setHasZoomFactorList(false);
         viewer.setHasLogo(false);
         viewer.setHasPrintButton(true);
         viewer.setHasRefreshButton(true);
         viewer.setHasToggleGroupTreeButton(false);
         viewer.setHasViewList(false);
         viewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
         viewer.setSeparatePages(true);
         viewer.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
         viewer.setReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh(true);
         viewer.setReportSource(l_reportFactory.createReport( request.getLocale() ));
         viewer.refresh();
         viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(),out);
         viewer.dispose();
    } catch(Exception e) {
         exp = e.toString();
         System.out.println("Exception in JSP : " + e.toString());
         e.printStackTrace();
    }

    I think ScreenRaghu is right. If you look at the generated source, your jsp becomes an action and processHttpRequest() method is invoked everytime some action happens. So when you click the export button, request object no longer has the values your report needs. Either put the values in session or via link or db or whatelse.

  • Printing problem in ALV report.

    Hi,
    I have made an ALV report using 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY' FM. There are 18 coloumns in this report which i want to print in A4 paper. Thses all coloumns are printing but the font size is too small and also printing start from left most i.e. no margin for FILING. How to increase font size and left margin for filing. Kindly suggest.
    Regards,
    Rajesh Vasudeva

    Hi
    The font size depends on the format you've choosen for the print.
    The abap list arranges the page as grid: colunmXrow.
    Every colunm of a page means a character.
    If you use the standard format X_65_200, it means you're page is arranged for 65 row and 200 colunm:
    that means the size of a character is optimized to can print 200 chararcter in a A4 page.
    If you use the standard format X_65_132 it means you're page is arranged for 65 row and132 colunm:
    that means the size of a character is optimized to can print 132 chararcter in a A4 page.
    So that mean the size of format X_65_132 will be bigger than X_65_200, because in the same space (page A4) it needs to write 132 char instead of 200.
    If your report print NN char, u should use the format wiith number colunm is closer to NN.
    If there isn't a format or u use the first available format or u create a new one by trx SPAD.

    I have a pdf file with 10 pages or so.  The pages change from landscape to portrait every so often.  When I tell it to print, the file will only print until the orientation changes, then it will quit.  Is there a way to get the file to print completely?

    There is no standard way to do it.
    You can manually use javascripting to create custom hover boxes.
    You will have to understand the way HTML generates (it has flat image and AREA maps which isolate the areas of flag image w/ coordinates). Then enhance the AREA maps to override the standard hover boxes.
    If you know javascript very well then you can use even available javascript frameworks to get highly customizable hover boxes. But it will involve considerable effort.

  • Printing problem in standerd report.

    Dear Gurus,
    In standard report of maintenance scheduling overview and simulation plan through T-code IP19. I am getting the graphical report.But I am not able to print that report.
    Is there any special method to print the Graphical print out in SAP.
    Is there any setting in functional customization for it.Or only Basis guy can fix the problem?
    Please help on this issue.
    With Best Regard
    Pankaj U. Nimkar.

    Hi Pankaj,
    Please check if your printer is configured with the system or you have selected in the pop-up window when you click on print icon.
    Destination: Local
    Print Mode: Pages
    Even if there is no printer configured with the system you are able to save the file to the desktop as *.TIF file and print later.

  • Safari adobe pdf preview printing problem

    Hello,
    I use HP laserjet color 1600. After downloaded Maverick, I can't print pdf preview from Safari anymore. Error is "filter failed" or "bit depth and / or color not supported by threshold set".
    Problem is that this is an official dynamic pdf document protected, that you can only fill in on line; I can't dowload it as regular pdf file.
    Still before I installed maverick, I could always print those type of pdf preview from Safari.
    So I already updated java and adobe, as my printer software, and I already launched "system updates"... I mean after I install Maverick.
    But I'm still stuck
    Any tips to solve it ?
    Thanks
