Pdf version 1.3 in reports

Hi all,
Is there a possibility that we can generate pdf version 1.3 in reports9i.
Thanks in advance.

I am not talking about the acrobat version. The pdf by itself has an version. you can see that in
file -> document properties.
reports9i generates an pdf file with version 1.4.
I want a lower version pdf to be generated. Any idea if it is possible.

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

Displaying reports in excel version just like in its pdf version

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to display reports in Excel version that will look like it's PDF version?
Thanks in advance
Edited by: mr_bip_learner on Oct 4, 2011 3:17 AM

Well, for me, it looks almost the same. Can you please provide two screenshots so I can see exactly the differences? Anyway, I don't think you can achieve a IDENTICAL representation, but a very close one is possible.

Attaining PDF version 1.3 using Crystal Reports 10.5

Hi,
I'm using VS 2008 for a Web Application. I'm generating Reports using Crystal version 10.5. When I export the Report to PDF I'm getting PDF version 1.2. I'm using Windows 7 and my PDF Viewer software is Adobe Acrobat 9.0. Kindle Suggest me how to attain PDF version 1.3 using Crystal Reports 10.5
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik Sivakumar.

Hello,
For backward compatibility CR 10.5 exports to 1.2. There is no control over the version of PDF CR exports to in any version.
But this would be a great feature, add your suggestion to Idea place as an enhancement request.
Thank you
Don

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);
     l_filename          varchar2(255);
     src_loc             bfile;
     bdoc                blob;
     src_offset          number := 1;
     dst_offset          number := 1;
     amount              number;
begin
     l_itemtype := substr(document_id, 1, instr(document_id, ':') - 1);
     l_itemkey := substr(document_id, instr(document_id, ':') + 1, length(document_id) - 2);
     l_output_directory := 'USR_TMP_DIR';
     l_filename := Wf_Engine.GetItemAttrText(l_itemtype, l_itemkey, 'ATR_FILENAME');
     src_loc := bfilename(l_output_directory,l_filename);
     dbms_lob.createTemporary(bdoc, FALSE, dbms_lob.call);
     dbms_lob.fileopen(src_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
     dbms_lob.loadblobfromfile(bdoc,src_loc,dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,src_offset,dst_offset);
     dbms_lob.fileclose(src_loc);
     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.
procedure attach_document (p_document_id   in varchar2,
                           p_display_type in varchar2,

                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;

l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);

    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB' still runs havoc in 9! (Plus a PDF version problem)

This post is to warn people about severe issues, and how to avoid them. Issues with the CMYK color setting in FM9.x have been reported here earlier, such as:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237696#1237696
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237852#1237852
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1237165#1237165
However, I do not think this issue has been warned about anywhere near as much as it should have. And, as usual, Adobe is silent (they should have a big poster on their site warning about this issue! And they have even claimed that patches have "solved" the issues with CMYK).
Just recently, while experimenting with FM9 again, I had extreme problems, which, at first, seemed totally unrelated to this CMYK setting. But after having struggled extremely hard for many many many hours, I finally found out. Now is the time to inform others:
First a note about versions: FrameMaker 9.0p237, Acrobat Distiller 9.1, XP SP2
It looks perfectly okay on screen in FrameMaker, exactly as in FM8. But when saved as pdf, several things are "corrupted". Examples: no kerning after the letter 'T', such as the word 'Text'. Dotted leader for a right aligned tab disappears. Some objects from the master pages, such as a logo, become enclosed in a rectangle (a border of the frame/object), but it only happens on *some* body pages, whereas other body pages using the same master page are ok!!? Equations are formatted differently from the way they should, with the wrong font for number, etcetera.
Solutions:
1. When 'Save as PDF...', untick 'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB' in PDF Setup. Same setting is in the file's 'Format > Document > PDF Setup...'
A drawback with this method is that, as of Acrobat Distiller v9, it does not seem to respect the pdf version specified in the PDF job Options! I get PDF 1.6 with this method, despite my job option specifies version 1.5. (This happens also with FrameMaker 8 if Acrobat is v9.) So you *have* to optimize it in Acrobat in order to get a web friendly PDF (PDF 1.4 or 1.5).
or
2. Print to 'Adobe PDF'.
In this latter case, you can set the same 'PDF Setup' settings under the button 'Setup...', EXCEPT that there is no tick box for 'Convert CMYK Colors to RGB', and it does not matter what setting you have chosen in the file's 'Format > Document > PDF Setup...', it will be RGB conversion in any case. Make sure that after you exit the setting, the tick box for 'Print to File' is NOT ticked! This method respects the pdf version specified in the PDF job Options! I get PDF 1.5, which is what my job option specifies.
(For some reason, Acrobat/Reader does not render these two PDFs exactly the same, except in extreme magnification! Maybe it has to do with the different PDF versions of the files.)
In either case, the solution actually solves ALL problems I listed! Despite it seems to have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with colors! Some day in the distant future, CMYK might actually work! But, for myself, I would prefer a proper color management instead...
Best Regards,
/Harald

Oops!! Not until now I discover that under 'Solutions' I happened to write 'untick' where it should be 'tick'! I.e, colors SHOULD be converted to RGB in order to circumvent the problems! I.e it runs havoc in v9 when CMYK colors are NOT converted to RGB! Don't know how I came to write the opposite, but probably I started out by describing the situation where the problems are seen rather than describing how to avoid them.
Equally strange is that nobody corrected me, but perhaps the mistake was so obvious? (But whether you see problems or not might depend on what fonts you use. So, under certain special circumstances, CMYK might actually work without these reported problems.)
I am also a bit surprised that others haven't reported the issue that the PDF version set in PDF job Options isn't respected when using 'Save As PDF' and Acrobat 9? (Or maybe someone has, but I have missed it.)

Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
Anyone have idea?? Thx!

Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
stuck with the effect of the bug.

PDDocSaveWithParams does not change PDF version from 1.8 (Acrobat 9, Acrobat X) to 1.4

Dear all,
this post seems similar to this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1160826#1160826
but it is not.
Our customers prepare documents to be presented at regulatory authorities, and it is required that these documents have PDF Version 1.4, are linearized, etc. In a plug-in we change the document properties accordingly. This used to work fine with Acrobat versions from 6 to 9. Then came Acrobat X.
We detected the problem with a document created with Acrobat PDFMaker 10.0 for Word: a very simple 1-page 3-lines document with no Acrobat X features.
When using Acrobat X, after calling PDDocSaveWithParams, the PDF version was not changed as required. (We check this calling PDDocGetVersion from the plugin after saving.)
Doing the same conversion with Acrobat 9 seemed to be OK: PDDocGetVersion reported PDF Version 1.4.
But when opening the converted document in Acrobat X, it still reported "PDF Version: 1.7 Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X.x)".
Opening it in a text editor showed that the header was "%PDF-1.4", but it still had "<</Extensions<</ADBE<</BaseVersion/1.7/ExtensionLevel 8>>>>..."
With Acrobat 8 and below, the version could not be downgraded, but this was reported correctly.
Downgrading the version directly via the "Optimize" function of Acrobat X worked.
I could not test Acrobat 9, since I have no Professional version available.
In Acrobat 8 Prof, I saw the message "This file appears to use a new format that this version of Acrobat does not support.", and the "Optimize" function was disabled.
Now I have the following questions:
(1) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade the version with Acrobat X ?
(2) Is it a known problem that PDDocSaveWithParams does not downgrade correctly with Acrobat 9 ?
(3) Is it a known problem that Acrobat9 wrongly reports the PDF Version of the document, in this case ?
(4) Why is downgrading (or optimizing) disabled for Acrobat 8 and below ?
Thank you !

Remember that as of PDF 1.4, the version number in the PDF header can be overridden via a /Version key in the /Catalog dictionary. In addition, the presence of an /Extension dictionary (ISO 32000-1) will also override the header version.
The header version is JUST A HINT - it is NOT a guarantee of any sort.
Based on both of the above, neither of your "bugs" are bugs.
Acrobat 9 (and I assume X as well) are reporting correctly. If you have a PDF that you believe IS being reported incorrectly, please post!
If the Extensions dict is present, the Save command will NOT override it since it takes precedence.

Migrate Crystal Reports version 9 to Crystal Reports version 12

I have gone through some of the threads in this forum related to migration of Crystal reports from a previous version to CR 12.
Though it has helped me to a certain extent, the problem still isnt solved.
First, I have not worked with Crystal Reports earlier; this is my first attempt.
Second, I have an application which uses CR version 9 to convert to pdf.
The application is written in VS 2003. The application is hosted under Windows Server 2008 R2; Crystal Reports 12 runtime installed on the Server.
I have downloaded the VSIM for VS 2003. The reference dlls seem to have been upgraded to CR 12. However, when I run the application in the Server, I get the famous
"Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information."
error.
Oh, Just for the Info - this application works perfectly fine in my development environment under the Windows XP OS.
Would somebody out there please help me in resolving this issue?
I have spent a lot of time on this issue, doing research on my own and failing miserably.

Download [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] and compare what dlls are loading on the server as opposed to your dev computer. Then adjust as needed.

PDF version from BOE SDK

Hi,
We have installed BOE 4.0 and 32 bit SDK to interact with the app server. When we create PDF from crystal reports it is giving the PDF default version 1.7.
Is there any way to change the PDF version to 1.5 hence our dependent systems does not have the capability to read the PDF version 1.7
Thanks for your help.
FebiginR

There is no way to change the version of the PDF the SDK or the CR designer export.

Migration from Brio8 version to Hyperion Interactive reporting version11

Hi,
We are migrating from Brio8 environment to Hyperion Interactive Reporting version 11 environment. I am referring hs_migration.pdf version 11. I am using migration utility tool to do migration.
my question is if I am migrating artifacts from Brio 8 repository to Hyperion 11 reposotory. Will it migrate all the old UUIDS of all the reports to the new repository or will it create new UUIDS for the reports. If that is the case reports which were saved offline referring to webbased queries will work?

Hi.
We are just now attempting an upgrade from Brio 6.5 and the On-Demand Server to Hyperion 9.3. Are any of you able and willing to address questions as they come up? I understand the set up and security of the Brio product thoroughly .. and create reports and EIS sections. BUT ... the terminology change from Brio to Hyp 9 is daunting and I'm needing to know how to begin to construct what in Brio I think of as the "Catalog". I'm interested in keeping our initial Hyp9 implementation simple ... and not take advantage of all the options in Hyp 9 which are not part of Brio.
Thank you!
