PDF Print issue in Report designer

Hi All,
I am using Report Designer for formatting group of reports. The issue I face in all is the that when I open the print version of the output in PDF, the words break, for eg: "Department of Biochemistry" will be displayed as "Department of bioc
hemistry". I want to set up in such a way that if the whole word can't fit in one line, then the whole word should go to the next line and not break itself. I see that issue only in Print version whereas when I display the output, that issue doesnot come.
Can anyone let me know what setting I need to do to fix this?
Thanks a lot!!

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue on printing Large Reports

Hello All,
I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
Much awaited for your assistance

Matt,
On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc

Marc

Font issue between Reports Designer and Report Output

Hi.
I've succesfully migrated several reports from 6i to 10g (10.1.2.0.2) with and without parameter form. However, I have the following font issue:
- When report is run from Reports Designer, font is kept.
- When report is run from a forms module (through rwserver on the same machine, that is not really from an application server, but using Oracle BC4J or Developer Suite enviroment) the report output is different. In this case a bigger font is displayed and occasional truncation happens for some fields.
The question is: How can i avoid this difference in font behaviour?. Is it font.ali related?. How come this happen on the same machine(Windows XP)? These reports are to be deployed on Linux, where reasonably, and font machine is expected to happen.
Font used: Arial (Occidental) 9

this might be an issue with the printer that is associated also, and the permissions to the printer that you might have..
login to the application server machine and restart the reports server as an admin..try running the reports via the URL..i have a feeling that this issue might be somethiing to do with the permission(s) to the printer from your AS machine

PDF Printing issue (passing static items)

Hello experts,
I am starting out with PDF printing from Apex and have a small (I hope) issue. I have downloaded a demo from Oracle site and all works OK.
To test the ability to create my own RTF templates I have added an additional item on the page called P3_PAWEL
Then I have added a field in the RTF template (by copying the existing field from elsewhere in the template and changing its property name)
As a last step I have added the item in the Report Quearies page by clicking on Session State > and adding the P3_PAWEL item to the list.
When I now print the report all still works OK but I do not see anything on the report where (in the template) I put my P3_PAWEL text field.
Any ideas what else I am missing here?
Regards,
Pawel.

What you are after is the Oracle XML Publisher Desktop.
Goto :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html
and download Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 for Microsoft Windows. It is 100Mb.
It adds some buttons to MS Word.

Unusual InDesign/PDF/Printer Issue

I am currently using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Professional 8.
I received a CS4 file that I could not open from another designer, he saved it as a .inx file which opened in CS3. I made the changes to the document, relink the images, and when I would export to pdf, the images in the design will print with a faint box around them, when in fact they are images that are cutout (have no background). 3 images are .tiffs and one is a .psd. They all look fine on a computer screen, but when it prints, the box shows up. We printed the pdf on several different printers and on one printer there is a box around those images. On another printer the box is not there. I'm not sure if its an Indesign issue, PDF issue or a printer issue. I've tried exporting it as PDF/X-1a:2001, that didn't work.
Please help! Thanks.

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

PDF Print Issue

Hello ALL,
I'm stuck on an Issue w/ PDF printing for columns which has '&' (ampersands) in the data. I'm trying to escape the Ampersands in the SQL Query using the APEX_UTIL. URL_ENCODE, but the report doesn't show-up right.
I initially tried the replace with '%26amp;' , the PDF export works, but the IR report is messed-up. Can any of you guys shed some light on this ?
Thanks
Prashanth

Which broswer and what OS? You might want to configure the browser to open pdfs in stand alone in AA rather than within the browser window, or v/v.

Acrobat Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day!
I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer. It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up.
I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
Any ideas would be helpful. My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so! Cheers.
Jeremy

If you have X.5.8. look here:
I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

V10.1.5 upgrade - Adobe PDF printer issues - font embedding

Hi,
Accepted the 10.1.5 (Acrobat Standard) upgrade. Have started having "Adobe PDF" printer failures with MS Outlook 2010: Font embedding issues.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to tweak to tell it to substitute with another font when it runs into licensing issues?
I've re-installed CutePDF as a workaround, but would prefer to use the Adobe printer.
save-as-filename.log:
"%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: LucidaSans cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (B&H) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
500
/l
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
Regards,
JD

In the settings file you should be able to set to continue even if the embed fails. In that case, I think you will simply have the PDF without the one font being embedded. You can also set to never embed it in the settings file (if you can find it on your system).

CS6 PDF Printing Issues

For years I have succesfully used the "Adobe PDF" printer as a way to print PDF files from photoshop files. i create a lot of architectural images consisting of layers of raster images and text that are typically 24 x36 @ 300 dpi. I have used this process, rather than saving as a PDF, because printing resulted in the smallest file size. I have used this method for years with CS3 and for the past few months with CS6. Just recently I started getting the following error through a .log file:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller; ErrorInfo: DictCRC --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
( """""""!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"##" !" "! !! ###########$$$"!! !!!!!!! ...)
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Do other users use the Adobe PDF printer as a method for creating PDF files and has anyone else experienced this issue? I have figured out a work-around, but I would prefer that the software continue to perform as it has in the past.
Thanks!

I think I read somewhere that cups has changed from PDF to PS as the 'backend', and that means that a PDF that used to be fed directly to the printer, now has to be converted to PS. This same change has given me lots of headaches to print from libreoffice...

ADS pdf printing issue

Good Day;
I have a problem with PDF printing. Everything was working fine . The problem started when I scheduled the report RSPO1043 for spool Consistency check on every saturday. So from monday when I print PDF I am getting an error /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/spoolxxxxxx.PDA file doesnot exist. I can see only three files there except .pda . I assume the scheduled report delete the old archive files.
Is there any link between .pda file and the report RSPO1041?
Also my ADS_AGENT user get automatically locked frequently , What can be the reasons for the lock?
Thanks in advance ..
Regards
Seethy Meerasahib

Hi;
The Problem get resolved by resetting the password on services>Destination> at Visual Admin. Eventhough the lock get removed the .PDA file still doent exist. Everything is fine.

PDF printing issues [SOLVED]

Ever since cups got a major upgrade I've had constant problems printing PDF-documents. I've searched and looked for solutions for more than a month. My guess was that I had messed something up by installing some kind of conflicting package that I couldn't track down. However since I made a fresh install the other day on a new SSD I could get a fresh start.
Printer: HL-Brother 5370DW
Cups and its dependencies: updated according to stable repositories with nothing added from AUR or modified packages
Issues before on older install:
- pdf printing, using common Linux tools, resultet in documents filled with thin grey lines
- Acroread would work but then it doesn't have the same dependencies
Issues on fresh install:
- pdf printing works... but screw up font size and page layout (font size is for whatever reason bigger, marginals smaller, and paragraphs that don't fit are seen as thin grey lines as described earlier)
- Acroread still works
Debugging of cups don't give much since there's no obvious errors. Related to the printer the following can be noted:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Inserted workaround PostScript code for Brother printers
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Page = 595x842; 12,12 to 583,830
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] slow_collate=0, slow_duplex=0, slow_order=0
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Before copy_comments - %!PS-Adobe-3.0
A haven't noticed any issues besides the PDF related ones. Maybe it's related to the same possible reason as some suggest, a conflict between poppler and cups filter. Debugging of cups gives this:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] PID 7342 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) exited with no errors.
Does anyone know a solution for Brother printers like mine? Is there a solution in the pipeline that I could test?
