PDF Report Form

My company has download a trial of Designer and we are trying to create a report that will span multiple pages. The number of pages will be dynamic as they will be creating a report from a database.
I have tried to create a simple PDF form with a field that is automatically filled in from the Database. I can effectively pull the records back using a next button but, it will only show me 1 record at a time (1 page). Basically, I need one form to be auto-filled from a database and then have that form repeated for each record.
I have been browsing through the help files and online for some answers but am having trouble trying to find what im looking for.
My question is, Is it possible to create a multi page report using LifeCycle and where do I need to look? I have been reading about repeating subforms but can't seem to get them to work. When I click on the "Repeat Subform for Each Data Item" button it seems to still only be creating one page.
Just looking for a point in the right direction..
Thanks
Justin

Typically, you would create a data connection to this data base (via an ODBC data connection) in Designer using the Data View palette.
Then you would create fields to display the information from the data connection (which displays the data nodes for a single record) on the form and you would bind each data node in the data connection to a field on the form. (You can get a head start with creating the fields and binding them by simply dragging the data nodes from the data connection in the Data View palette.)
If you wanted to display one record per page, you would first have to place all you bound fields in a subform and then place this subform inside a
flowed subform (this is probably the step you were missing). You can make a subform
flowed by using the Content property on the Subform tab in the Object palette. Once the subform which contains the bound fields (let's call it the data subform) is placed in a flowed subform, you can then select the data subform and make it repeatable (as you've done before).
Next, you would have two possibilities:
Make the data subform as big as the page subform such that when a new instance is created, as the records are imported from the data connection, it automatically flows onto the next page.
Use a conditional break set on the data subform (use the Conditional Breaks property on the Object palette's Pagination tab) which specifies an expression where a change in a record value (could be an index value which changes for every record) triggers a break to a new page.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is

"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from

I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

Creating a PDF report from a Form

Hi all,
Is it possible to create a PDF REPORT from a table based Form?
Thanks,

You can NOT use FOP and the BI Publisher RTF editor to make templates for PDF output.. You need an XML style sheet editor to format the report layouts..: http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php

App Server 10g2 - PDF Reports called from Forms go to a background window

Hi all
We have Application Server 10g2 in use, mainly for legacy forms and reports. We also have the Secure Java Web.Show_Document bean (frmrwinteg.jar) installed. Since the application of the October 2008 CPU when a form calls a PDF report, it will pop in the background and leave the Internet Explorer window with the form at the front. We have not changed any configuration settings which could affect this.
Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer? We'd appreciate any tips on this. Thanks.

Well I am not sure if this is the original question. Here is what SebastienL mentioned originally:
Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer?He also mentioned this:
Before, the PDF window would open in front of IE, like any new window should. Now it opens in the background and IE stays in front.And it seems to be happening not just for him but for all users (on multiple client machines) as he mentioned this:
This occured overnight after a CPU patch to everyone who uses the system.If I am interpreting it correctly (and I don't claim to be correct in my interpretation), the issue is not about having to open PDF in the same IE window as the Forms. I am guessing SebastienL is looking to have PDF document appear in foreground (on top of Forms IE window) vs. it showing up in background (behind the Forms IE window).
Did I get it right SebastienL?
It does sound very much client configuration issue but I doubt (if my above assumptions are correct). Let me dig around and see if I can find something.
Thanks

Help inserting a filled out pdf form into a pdf report.

Why can I not insert a filled out pdf form into my pdf reports? I am new to Adobe Acrobat X.

See what it says under: File > Properties > Description > PDF Producer
If it's an XFA form, is should say something like "Adobe LiveCycle Designer [version#]"
You can also open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) and enter the following line of code:
xfa
and with the cursor on the line, hit Ctrl+Enter, of the Enter key on the numeric keypad.
If it's an XFA form it will return:
[object XFAObject]
Otherwise, it will return "xfa is not defined" and other stuff.

Open PDF report on clicking a URL link

Hello,
I have a requirement to open a PDF report when clicking on a URL.
Example : Open a Purchase Order PDF report when clicked on a URL from a different web based system (non APEX). I was able to open APEX pages from the web pages but i am not sure how to open a PDF report. I will have to pass PO number in the URL.
I would really appreciate it If anyone can give me some direction. I have created PDF reports within APEX and called from within other Pages in APEX but not outside of APEX.

Sorry I really didn't mean to be stupid ;)
below is my requirement. We use oracle ebs and we use forms version. Our requirement is to open various PDF reports by clicking a buttons/menu in different forms with in Oracle apps forms. We have APEX developer who can create PDF reports in APEX easily but the technology on ebs side is complex to develop simple PDF in the way users want. So we were thinking if we create a PDF report in APEX..and call the apex report from ebs. Is this possible? Inow we can call other APEX web pages from EBS.

Control the page height and page width of pdf report using pasta_pdf.cfg

Hi All,
I've followed the note: 338990.1 (how to print publisher PDF reports via the concurrent manager) in metalink to print a PDF REPORT. Everything work fine except the page height and page width is used as default (8X11). Is there anyway that i can custom page height and page width size such as: legal (8.5X14).

%% ============== Preprocessing Command ==================== %%
% Pasta can use a preprocessing command to invoke any executable
% that supports an input file and an output file (a filter program).
% You can use redirection. Pasta will invoke the filter program
% to preprocess the Pasta output before passing it to the printing
% command. By using the preprocess option, you can generate output
% formats other than the formats Pasta currently supports. For

% You can use {infile} and {outfile} in this option.
% {infile} is the output file generated by Pasta. You can use

% file and will be deleted after being passed to the
% preprocessing command. {outfile} is the output file generated
% by the preprocessing command. Pasta names it temporarily and
% it will be deleted after being passed to the printing command.
% If you want to keep it, you can name it by using the '-o'
% command line option. Pasta will copy {outfile} to the file you

Hi,
You may convert the spool of your report into PDF quite simply, this has been discussed many times in this forum.
If you want to provide additional functionalities, especially of your report consists in a table (well, that is generally the case, isn't it), you can use a tableView that provides sorting, filtering, ...
Besides, it is also possible to turn the tableView content into Excel but you already have this one...
Any reason (release ?) you chose BSP over Web Dynpro ABAP ?
Best regards,
Guillaume

Here i am the report Image and report xml path using
String reportPath= request.getRealPath("/reports");
String reportImagepath= request.getRealPath("/images");
Does this work on webtogo?How does it look for the location of reports folder and then the xml file?

Pdf reports not getting generated

Hello All,
We are having an issue in generating the pdf reports.. we are getting errors as mentioned below
REP-0069: Internal error
REP-57054: In-process job terminated:Terminated with error:
We went through the below mentioned note as well :
REP-0069, REP-57054, REP-3000 in R12
Our's is a multi tier Oracle E-Business suite setup with multiple nodes as mentioned below:
a , b -- Web and forms
c, d -- Concurrent tier nodes
e, f -- Database tier nodes
In the $APPL_TOP we did the below command to see what is setting for the DISPLAY environment variable.
grep DISPLAY *.env
it gave the results as mentioned below :
instancename_a.env : export DISPLAY=a:311.0
instancename_b.env : export DISPLAY=b:311.0
instancename_c.env: export DISPLAY=c:311.0
instancename_d.env: export DISPLAY=d:311.0
Could someone please advise and help us regards this as to what all needs to be checked and verified for a multiple node instance ..we are not able to get which is that environment setting which is incorrect or missing which is causing these seeded report related error messages.
thanks
