PDF Generation problems in Reports 3.0

Hi,
I am generating PDFs from Oracle Reports 3.0
The PDF generation is fine in some datbases.
But in some database,when the records are more, during PDF
generation, Dr.Watson error is encountered, saying access
violation.
Can any one please clarify whether the error is due to memory
constraints on the system or if it has something to do with
Oracle Reports setting, while generating PDFs.
Do note that the reports are running fine, when the report has
less number of records.
Any help in this matter is appreciated.
Regards,

Hi!
Remove cache from output dir from time time.
(i.e. from virtual dir where report server puts output)
let me know ...

  • APEX 4.1 - APACHE FOP PDF generation problem.

    Hi all,
    I'm having problem with PDF generation using APACH FOP on OC4J.
    When I test my print server as described here:
    http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/heres-another-posting-on-pdf-printing.html
    everything works without problem. But when I upload my Layout to APEX and try to generate PDF from apex I'm getting error:
    oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Unexpected EOF.
         at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrors1(XMLError.java:320)

    I could see similar post here:
    Handling Special characters in call to apex_util.download_print_document
    But it doesn't explain my case as it's crashing even when I generate empty pdf(no data so no special characters, only empty XML file with no data should be sent to print server)
    Is there any way to see what xml is sent do print server for processing? That could eventually show where is a problem.
    Palo

    My mistake, there was really an "&" character in my template. now when I replaced it with %26 it works.
    However I would be still interested if there is a way to see what data is APEX engine sending to print server cause it will help me to find this kind of errors.

  • Reports 6i Pdf generation problems

    Hi,
    I am using reports 6i with graphics. when I see the report inside the previewer the vertical tick marks on the X-axis appear fine, but when I generate to PDF the same tick marks appear inverted which can only be seen with the help of a mirror.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Paras

    Paras,
    Looks strange and interesting. Hope you have a mirror with you always now.
    Well. We have not come across this problem and not been able to reproduce also
    You can try generating to a eps file and convert it to PDF using Acrobat distiller and see how it comes out.
    You can log a TAR through Oracle metalink if you have a reproducible testcase
    Thanks

  • Problem with PDF generation from Interactive Report

    Greetings,
    I created an interactive report and chose CSV and PDF download options. I am able to create CSV but when I try to download a PDF it says that that acrobat reader cannot open the created pdf file. I am not sure what I should do to make it work. Please help.
    -Vatsa

    Hey there,
    That happened to me when I had an & sign in the page title name. If you have some weird symbols in the page title, try changing them. Then it will work.
    PS
    Make sure in the title name and page name there are no weird symbols.

  • RH PDF generation problems: wrong (A4) page size and Word 2013

    I am trying to generate a review PDF of a handful or topics. It generates, but first I get an error:
    (I have Word 2013 installed.)
    Then the PDF generates, but it is A4. I never use metric for anything, so where it is picking up A4 I can't imagine. I have all my PDF settings to letter. I checked Edit > Properties > PDF settings > Advanced settings, everything. It's all set correctly. Even all of my Word templates (which I am not using for this project anyway) are letter. Like I said: No metric pages or units of measure used ever. Not in Word, not in FrameMaker, not in Acrobat. Why does RoboHelp default to A4?
    And why does it not consider Word 2013 "newer" than Word 2000?

    Word 2013 is not supported by any version of Rh. The first part is correct so Rh throws the error message notwithstanding the second part is wrong.
    You haven't mentioned the version of Rh you are using (please see the forum sticky topics) but you might find you can right click Properties in the print layout and generate to Word there. Using that route you may find the answer to the A4 issue. I'm puzzled by that as normally Rh defaults to Letter.
    Are you using the PDF add-on or a full version of Acrobat, if the latter which one?

  • Problem with PDF extract in a report

    Hi guys,
    We are facing a peculiar problem with PDF extract in a report. When we run a report and export PDF , all the records in the result set are populated in the PDF. however, if I navigate away from the report and return back to the same report, and click on export pdf (with the result set already populated) i get a blank PDF document without any records. If i run the report again and then export the PDF it works fine.
    Export excel works fine for all cases.
    I am assuming it has got something to do with the way the system handles the cache for PDF export.
    I also found that this occurs only when we have a value list filter with "none" set as default,and in this case, initially on opening  the report for the first time the query does not get executed automatically.
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    immanuel

    Hi Immanuel,
    Have you tried clearing the cache? My guess is, it is probably a defect.
    Regards,
    Vikram

  • Font problem in reports produced in PDF format

    Dear all,
    All our reports are developed by developer suite 10g (under windows) and deployed on an Application Server 10g (on Linux).
    We had a problem with displaying the arabic letters, but this was solved by following the steps in the metalink Note no 726205.1 for generating arabic pdf reports on unix.
    Now, the problem is that the font used in the reports is ARIAL, but when the reports are displayed (in PDF format) the font is TAHOMA. This font conversion happens in both Arabic and English reports !
    I wonder how can I correct this behaviour.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    Naglaa

    Steve,
    I remember that fonts in PDF generated by Oracle Reports is a big topic and a subject of many Metalink notes (metalink.oracle.com).
    Note.210318.1 Ext/Pub How To use font embedding in Reports 9i for PDF output
    Note.207711.1 Ext/Pub How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i for PDF Output
    Note 232975.1 "Windows/Unix Font Issues: What Information is Required to address the Issue and How to Work Around Issue"
    Especially on Unix and Linux systems, there are some font mapping required. I suggest to run this question on the Reports forum here on OTN where I think you have better chances for an answer.

  • PDF Generation has problems

    Hi there,
    Our company uses Colffusion to make PDFs for our client.
    Recently, the PDF generation is incredible instable, causing
    corrupt PDF files or performance issues.
    I found out, that the problem lies within the including some
    picture. This slows down almost everything or sometimes the
    generation does not happen at all.
    Is there a solution for this? Is there a hot fix for that?
    Thanks for your reply

    Try <cfreport> instead of <cfdocument> which give
    better results for these type of pdf conversion and image
    issues...

  • PDF generation : FileNotFoundException problem

    Hi all,
    I'm developing a dynamic PDF generation module in web application using iText framework. This module creates PDF on the server side then sends it to the client. Sometimes, Even though the PDF file is created on the hard disk, I got FileNotFoundException when calling the servlet that sends it.
    My program is very simple (no thread used) :
    1- The client calls enters some inputs,
    2 - The iText based class generates the PDF,
    3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).
    4 - The request is redirected to servlet that sends the PDF.
    What could be the problem ?
    thx,

    In fact, I don't know what you mean by:
    3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).What do you mean by this? Did you save the proprietry PDF object? Or the java.io.File object? If it is the PDF object, does its class implement java.io.Serializable?
    Um ... Here are some suggestions ...
    First of all, make sure that the file really exists there.
    Secondly, try to write a Java SE program to read the file using the absolute path you provided.
    Then, if the Java SE program works, I think the reason may be that you haven't closed the "OutputStream" which writes the PDF file, or the security settings of your JSPServer prevents you from getting the file.

  • PDF generation on APEX applications Reports

    Hi all
    PDF generation on APEX applications is Facilitated in Interactive Reports in the Down load Option,
    When we Choose this pdf Down load Option,this is not Working.
    why this is not Working?
    But this Down load Facility in Interactive Reports is Working fine with Excel Format
    Do we need to Install & configure FOP/Cocoon or BI Publisher to Enable PDF Format DOWNLOAD
    OR
    any Other Work around Availble for this
    please Suggest
    tahnks Alot

    To generate PDF file from APEX reports, you either have to install & configure Bi Publisher or FOP/Cocoon..
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    There are alternatives (jasper reports, pl/pdf), but they are also items you need to install and configure..
    Thank you,

  • BI 7.0 Web PDF Generation

    Hi folks,
    I do have a severe problem with PDF generation and it looks like a common issue.
    I integrated Button to convert my Management Webreport to PDF, no big issue so far.
    But the generated PDF is not bevaing like expected. We do have a BI report that contains 3 charts horizontally alligned by a table to fit the screen and 1 table below
    those charts.
    This report fits perfectly on one page landscape.
    When generating PDF locally (PDF generator installed on client PC) Internetexplorer ==>PDF works as expected.
    When using the Button in Webtemplate to use the BI functionality to export to PDF the PDF is a mess.
    All template items are displayed in sequence taht means instead of 3 horizontal charts I see 3 charts and 1 table underneath each other.
    It looks like the old fashioned 3.x print function.
    My question:
    Is there a way to influence the PDF generation. Maybe a class ( like former 3.x  Table Interface) to modify to render the PDF like the template appearance?
    We cannot install PDF clients locally nor can we ship management those reports coming from BI. Report designer is no alternative because of missing functionality.
    TIA
    Joerg

    Thanks so far,
    currently when using the container item and referring by command wizard ( export to PDF) the system is not generating any item.
    Error Message 'file has no page and can't be opened...' occurs.
    I think this is a really urgent Development issue because I think printing via PDF is getting more and more important since not everyone is using IE7 ( which is not fully supported by SAP either) to scale pages for printing.
    Best regards
    Joerg

  • Pdf opening problem ?

    Hi,
    I am generating pdf output type reports with Oracle Reports .
    I am getting problem while trying to open the pdf file.
    My Problem is " There was an error opening this document.
    The file is damaged and could not be repaired ".
    Why i am getting this kind of problem ?
    If i see the size of pdf , it is showing 1456kb.
    Any thing wrong at the time of pdf generation ?
    How many number of pages of report pdf supports ?
    In my database i have 55 thousand records for this report.
    Is this the problem with more no.of records showing in the same pdf file ?
    Is there any limitation to show the no.of records in oracle reports ?
    Thanx for help .
    Srini

    We have been experiencing a similar problem. In our case the reports do not have any graphics of any kind in them. But the problem occurs when using report servlets to serve the report back to the client and the PDF file is greater than 35M in size. For us, the reports jserv actually dies with a JNI panic while the client tries to download the pdf file to their machine for display. The problem does not appear if you serv the report via cgi. The only solution that I have been able to do is to have the user re-run the report with a smaller dataset so that the output pdf file size will be smaller.
    Our setup: 9iAS 10222 Patch 10
    reports served via servlet
    all report output is PDF

    You should make sure that you are on the latest patch set (patch 10 from metalink). If this still reproduces then I would suggest you contact Oracle Support and work through the issue with them
