PDF output not correct.

I'm using: Report Builder 10.1.2.3.0
When I run the report thru the Builder, the report prints out at 100% in PDF format.
When I run the report thru the application server, the PDF defaults to 6.5% (like a postage stamp size).
Please note this is the only report that does this.
Is there something on the report builder that I have to change?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I suppose that the Application Server is running on a UNIX platform ?
I suggest to open the PDF files (the one created on Windows and the one Created on UNIX) in a text editor and compare the decimal separator
used in the PDF file.
A wrong decimal separator may lead to problems (The decimal separator used depends on the LOCAL variables set on the UNIX platform)

Barcode in PDF output not coming in Oracle R12.1.3

Hi,
We have a rtf template for Invoice report. In this report we have to display barcode in PDF output. In our development instance barcode is coming properly. But in our test instance barcode is not coming(same template is available in Development and Test instance).
We are using wocrb.ttf and w128l.ttf font files and we have these files available at $OA_JRE_TOP/lib/fonts path.
Also, we have config file available on $OA_JRE_TOP/lib directory. and this config file has correct path of both the font files.
Still the barcode is not coming in Test instance.
Request you all to please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
SA

PDF requires the font be registered correctly, since it is not appearing you have missed something in your configuration.
The most common error is the font family name does not exactly match the font name in Word. (Open the font on your PC and the name is present there also.)
You can use the xdodebug.cfg troubleshooting method, then see what error appears in the xdo.log when the font is accessed.
See the following note for xdo.log:

PDF Output Not Displaying Turkish Characters

Hi,
We've configured BI 7.0 System with an Standalone Portal+BI Java System running both on SP11 Stack without problem.
For BI Web Reports, we're taking PDF Outputs and getting Turkish Character Problems. On the screen we can see everything correct, even Excel Export displays Turkish Characters without problem but PDF Export is wrong. I've checked the "<b>Note 1007116 - Form output in incorrect language</b>" but not sure whcih form to check? And also if this is the problem?
If anyone can help us, it'll be great

Hi Ade,
I tried all possible combinations of fetching the data. Writing a PL/SQL function and assigning the data to placeholder in before report trigger. Also, tried to use a query and then assign the data to placeholder through formula column. Directly assigining the database column on field without using placeholder.
While trying all the above options, I ensured that width is set to 4000 characters.
But all in vain. It works fine for 2000 characters but not able to print 4000 characters.

PDF output not including links

I've searched these forums and read posts that the problem with links not working in PDF output should have been fixed in version 6. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 8 (with all suggested patches), but when I create a PDF output it has no links in body text or in the Related Topics list at the end of each topic. I went into the PDF settings dialog box and checked for the PDF to include links, but it's not working.
I'm developing in Windows XP creating WebHelpPro.
What must I do to get links to work in a PDF (other than on the Bookmarks tab)?
Thank you.
Sylvia

Hi Sylvia
Out of curiosity, what do the links point to?
My thought is perhaps it is a type of link that isn't really capable of being transferred to PDF.
Cheers... Rick

PDF output not printing specific Czech character

Hi,
On the XML template i have harcoded some Czech characters like, měna & Peněžní
if any Czech character has small v on top of the character, then the report output prints as ? instead of that character. For examplae, měna & Peněžní in PDF output prints as m?na & Pen??ní . It prints rest of the Czech characters correctly. The issue happens only with PDF output. When i keep the Format as EXCEL then it prints the Czech characters correctly. Can any one help me on this issue.
Thanks
Shankar

Can somebody help me on this.

PDF output not retaining same formatting as done in RTF

Hi All,
I have created a RTF template and need to show the output in PDF. Now in the RTF, as per the requirements, I am not enclosing my form fields in any table or inside any tabular cells. So I have to display the output something like this
Name : Peter
Age : 30 years
Address : New Jersy
Dept : Accounts
but after placing the form fields in their right places, when I see the output in PDF, the formatting is lost and values are NOT displayed at their desired places as set in the RTF template. So I get the PDF output something like this
Name : Peter
Age:
30 years
Address :
New Jersy
Dept :
Accounts
Is there a method to fix the form fields so that they don't move and i get the output in the same way as I have designed in the RTF template.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

PDF output not showing all 4000 characters

Hi,
I have a placeholder column of character data type and its width is 4000. When I execute the report and see it pdf output it shows only 1980 characters with last line characters going beyond the report margins.
Is there a way to display all 4000 characters?
Thanks,

R12.1.3 - Reports 10g PDF Output not opening from SRS window

Gurus,
Your help will be highly appreciable for the below context.
While trying to open a report output, following error occurs and won't show the PDF format correctly.
"There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document(135)".
Object Type : Reports 10g with graph
Conc Program Output Type : PDF
Note: Currently issue happening only in DEV instance not in UAT/Prod instance.
Thank You.

Hi,
When you click View Output, press the Control key and see if you get an open/save dialog. If one is displayed, save the document and try opening it directly from the PDF reader.
If this does not resolve the issue, post a screenshot of the error.

Image in PDF output not good

I am embedding an image in the Indesign document and outputting it as a PDF file. The image in the PDF file is not really clear. It appears pixellated. It is a JPG image and I tried both lossy and lossless compression. But the same image (it is a black and white sketch) embedded in MS Word comes out very well. Can I know the reason?

The blurryness and pixellation is due to the preview setting on the placed object. Faster processing if you handle multiple HQ images/objects.
To change the preview setting. Select an object, right klick (for i386) and goto "Display performance". Select "High Quality Display". You will see the preview quality of the object change. Sometimes, if the object is not linked, the blurryness will also come out when the ID-doc is exported to PDF or printed... even though the settings is "High Quality Display".

FM10: PDF output not including part of graphic in header

Here are my versions: (TCS3.0)
FM 10.0.1.402
Acrobat 10.1.1
Distiller 10.1.133
I have a book recently created in FM10. I needed to add a very large table. I followed Barb Binder's instructions for setting up landscape master pages (from the IconLogic 8/9/11 Skills & Drills newsletter). Everything worked perfectly. I was able to create the master pages and body pages using them, and eventuallly get the large table in the doc file. So far so good... I wanted to see how the new pages and table would look in PDF, so I did a File > Save as PDF. The PDF was created as expected.
However, I have a strange issue with our company logo in the header. It's in the header on all pages of this document and looks fine on all pages in FM - both on the body and master pages. But in the PDF, the last letter of the company name is cut off. I cannot figure out what's going on. I've also tried to Print to File using the Adobe PDF printer and creating a PS file that I then distilled to PDF. Same problem no matter what method I use. In the PDF, the logos on all non-landscape pages are fine.
Here are some screen caps.
The document open in FM - this shows the Telesoft logo on left and right body pages using the landscape master pages:
Here is the LandscapeLeft master page:
The LandscapeRight master page:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeLeft page in the PDF:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeRight page in the PDF:
Notice the final "T" missing for the header graphic on both the right and left pages. On the master page, there is plenty of room in the anchored frame that holds the graphic, so the frame isn't cutting anything off. The exact same headers are used on both the regular and landscape master pages and all is well in the PDF for the regular pages.
I really appreciate any suggestions!
Kim

I wonder if you repeated your steps with a *.png graphic if you would see the truncation in the horizontal layout?
OK, I tried it....interesting, but mixed results.
I created a portrait master page, deleted the header text frame, and imported a png image onto it. The png is on the page, not inside a frame. I then rotated the portrait page to a landscape master page. After several other imports, I have the following on the landscape master page.
1. The png from the original PORTRAIT master page.
2. The png imported to the LANDSCAPE master page without further rotation.
3. The png imported to the landscape master page with a rotation to match 1.
4. The png imported into the footer TEXT frame (which is now perpendicular on the left side of the page). This created an anchored frame to hold the png.
5. The standard text frame for the body text.
6. A copy of 4 but rotated back to portrait.
Then, on the body page that uses this lanscape master page, I imported the png. As per normal, this created an anchored frame below the line to hold the png. Of course it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, because the text frame was rotated with the page.
RESULTS in the PDF:
a. ALL the png images were complete, EXCEPT 1 and 4. Interestingly, 1 was clipped on the right (bottom in landscape) and 4 was clipped on the left (top in landscape).
b. The png in 4 was NOT selectable, as Kim noted. When I clicked it, only the anchored frame was selected. When rotated back to zero degrees (6), the png was then selectable.
HOWEVER:
I was going to show a screen shot, but the png I used had company information in it. So, I created a png (Photoshop) of a flower, and created another master page with all six items.
c. THIS master page showed NO clipping on ANY of the png images.
d. To be complete, I created another png image from an eps file using Illustrator to mimic the workflow that created my original png. AND there was NO clipping of any of the png images in the PDF.
So, the results are mixed. But my tests indicate that the best way to create the master page is to rotate the page FIRST, then import the logo image. Do rotation after the import to get it into the correct orientation. DO NOT import the image into a background text frame (header or footer or other) that is on the master page. This creates an anchored frame holding the image, but the image is not selectable.
Hope this helps,
Van

BI Publisher PDF reports not displaying correctly from EPPM 8.2

Hi,
I have setup EPPM to run BI Publisher reports as specified in the documentation. I can see all the reports correctly and can run the reports ok after specifying the reqd parameters. However, when the report completes and tries to open the PDF output in Acrobat, the screen flashes and no output is displayed. This is when running P6 within Internet Explorer. If I run P6 in Firefox, the PDF output opens correctly.
I presume this is due to an IE setting or because the add-ons aren't configured correctly. Has anyone had the same sort of issue ?, and if so, how did you fix it ?.
Thanks
Nik

Hi Khaja,
Font mapping is done using xdo.cfg file right ? If yes then yeah I have done it. But the barcodes are not displaying. Infact to display special fonts such as chinese,russian etc I have just pasted the corresponding ttf files under java home and not made any changes to xdo.cfg. But still the specail fonts are displayed properly.Problem is in displaying barcode fonts.
Thanks,

Some of Chinese character is not displaying correctly in PDF output

Hi all
I'm involved in the 1st Peoplesoft project in Korea and having a difficulty with displaying Chinese character in PDF output.
Usually Koreans can translate their name in Chinese and that Chinese name is displayed in personal information in their company as well as Korean name.
With Oracle BI Publisher I made rtf template that includes employees' Chinese name and tried to export to PDF output.
Most of Chinese character was fine but '李' character that was ok in HTM output was crashed in PDF output.
So I researched and tested some solutions.
Here's what I did.
I downloaded and installed five fonts(ALBANWTS.ttf, ALBANWTT.ttf, ALBANWT.ttf, ALBANWTK.ttf, ALBANWTJ.ttf) in client machine(c:\windows\fonts\) and did mapping job with xdo.cfg configuration file.
After that I previewed PDF output in the rtf template and checked embeded fonts in the PDF file.
I can see the newly installed font was embeded but still '李' character is crashed.
My problem is little bit different from others becuase only one Chinese character is crashed by for now.
The Chinese character '李' is very common last name in Korea and I believe Simplified Chinese character font have in it.
Please let me know if you have any solutions or experiance.
Thanks and best regards
Kwangbock.

Hi James

PDF output does not match Frame TOC

My Frame TOC is accurate, the tags are correct. My PDF output has the correct Units in place. However, in the PDF TOC on the left nav, the Unit 5 Lessons appear in Unit 4, the Unit 6 Lessons appear in Unit 5, Unit 6 has no Lessons, Unit 7 is correct. I have spent a full day troubleshooting this. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Strange things can happen thanks to the PDF setup > Bookmarks tab, though I suspect you have already checked that. I've occasionally shot myself in the foot by using two styles for level 2, for example, and not noticing that one of them had decided to sidle into the .pdf navigation as level 3 …
Counsel of despair, if you have full Acrobat, would be to adjust the bookmarks manually so you can hand over the deliverable. Hope someone will come up with a more convincing answer, though!

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.
