Print preview summary

All,
I posted a message back in November wondering if anyone had implemented a
print preview mechanism in Forte. I got a record number of responses saying
"no...but let me know what you find out". A few people responded with
solutions.
I still get private responses from list members wondering what I found out.
I should have posted a summary earlier, so here it goes. By the way, if you
do not care about print preview, I would suggest going for the delete key
now, this may get wordy.
The application I am working on has numerous forms that were done using Forte
printing with page templates. The users wanted to preview these forms on the
screen. The application is cross platform, Windows NT and Macintosh. I
ended up implementing a preview window in Forte.
Other solutions:
1. ActiveX control. Plenty exist for Windows not sure about the Mac.
2. External viewer programs. GhostView is the best and cross platform.
However, the implementation is "clunky" and may not be liked by your users.
You have to print to a file and then open the file with the viewer. It ends
up being quite a bit of work just to preview a form.
The Forte solution was relatively easy and a natural extension of the current
printing architecture, which in this application was very good. Basically,
the page template is a Forte window, all I wanted to do was display this
window on the screen instead of the printer. I made a preview window that
contains a view port of a empty grid field and nested the print windows main
grid in the preview windows view port. Add some buttons for paging (back,
next), printing and a goto page drop list and your almost done. The preview
window works very much the the Forte window workshop screen. Button bars and
a view port. Make the screen resizeable and give the view port grid cell 100
percent of the justification weight for resizing purposes. I pass the
preview window an array of print windows. As you page you just iterate
through the array and nest the corresponding window. The reports I am
dealing with average no more than 6 pages. If you have larger reports you
may want to build each page on demand (performance vs. memory trade off
here).

Hi M Stofko,
Indeed the + and - characters to give the information about the summary task is no longer displayed in PDF printing of MS Project 2010. Nevertheless there is a space for subtasks that indicates they are located under a summary task, which are still displayed
in bold.
As a workaround, I can suggest you to insert the "summary" column:
Hope this helps.

  • How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

    Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
    Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
    I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
    1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
    2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

    Hi,
    You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
    Following idea could be your task flow
    Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
    |
    v
    Router
    1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
    2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
    hope it helps,

  • The Mozilla WHITE start page is blocking the upper left Firefox to Print to Print Preview, so i can not see what is on the Printer Glass

    The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
    I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
    But no "click here to update".
    So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
    And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
    I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
    HEEEELP,,,,,,

    Hi,
    Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview. Please note that you may have to change to the tab of the site to be printed to see the print preview of the page.

  • Why does Print Preview of a .eml file recursively open the same .eml file? I can't print it.

    Hello. I saved an email from my IMAP account locally to file as offlineemail.eml. When I try to open the .eml file later in Thunderbird, it opens up ok, no problem. When I do Print Preview just before sending it to my printer, two windows pop up. In the background is the first window, the Preview itself. However, it only shows "about:blank" in the Preview body. In the foreground, a window with Title: Opening offlineemail.eml. Body: You have chosen to open: offlineemail.eml which is: eml document (27.9 KB) from: /tmp. What should Thunderbird do with this file? [Radio button] Open with [dropdown] Thunderbird (default); [Radio button] Save file; [Checkbox unchecked] Do this automatically for files like this from now on. [Push buttons] Cancel Ok. The Ok button remains greyed out until I click one of the radio buttons. I click Open with Thunderbird, the Ok button is now active, and I click Ok. Here, the same email opens up just fine again in a separate Thunderbird window. I do a Print Preview, and this whole paragraph of steps is repeated. I never see the preview. Any ideas why this would be? My Thunderbird version: 31.3.0. My OS: linux openSUSE 13.1"Bottle". File manager: Thunar 1.6.3 for the XFCE desktop.

  • User gets odd behavior when print previewing calendar

    User calls with an odd problem.
    She is using 32 bit IE 9 with our SP 2010 farm.
    She goes to her department calendar. She sees events.
    She presses Print Preview. No events are shown on the page.
    She tries to export the data to Outlook - it tells her there is too much data.
    She calls me.
    I look - her default view is running into the resource throttling of the farm. So I try to create a unique view that only shows this week's events.
    It works fine for me. Print preview and printing work as well.
    When she looks at it in her browser, it works fine.
    When she tries to print preview - no events show up on the preview page.
    She tries to export from the new view - Outlook gets no events.
    She is using IE9, so the IE7 comments in old threads are not relevant.
    I set the web part configuration to 12 inches as one conversation suggestions. That doesn't help.
    Does anyone else have any ideas of things to try?

    When I look at the custom calendar within SharePoint Designer, the page has a ListView Web Part but not an XsltListViewWebPart.
    I have tried several times to step through blog entries that describe editing the page, setting the view of the web part, etc. At one point whatever I tried turned the calendar view into a list view ... sigh. I created a new calendar view and made it
    the default.
    I have asked the user to try the print preview out today to see if it works for her after I created the new view.
    The really odd thing about all of this is that at least 2 people don't have the problem with not seeing event data in the print preview.
    It _almost_ sounds like some sort of machine specific issue she is having.
    I wonder if I should ask the admins to repair Office 2010 on her machine to make certain the DLLs are all working properly.

  • Vendor Ref. no. not displayed in print preview in vendor aging report

    Dear SAP team,
    Vendor reference number is not displayed in print preview/print on vendor liabliteis aging report,
    but this vendor reference number actually show in report,We are taking report by journal postings,
    vendor reference entered in NumAtCard in AP invoice get copied to Ref2 in Journal Entry,then
    why it is not showing in print preview/print.
    Whether this is an application error / missing functionality ?
    We are using SAP Business One 2005 B (7.40.252)  SP: 00  PL: 36.
    Whether upgrade to latest patch 2005B PL46 will solve this issue ?
    Jeyakanthan

    Hello Jeyakanthan,
    I would like to draw your attention to the enhancements we delivered within Aging Report in 2007 version and plan for 8.8 release.
    The primary enhancement in 2007 version is reflecting new concept of Internal Reconciliation with more convenient backward reporting.
    Within the 8.8 release ...
    - when you generate the aging report you can group the report by customer or sales employee in the customer receivables aging report, and by vendor or buyer in the vendor liabilities aging report;
    - when the aging report has been generated, you can view multicustomer/multivendor detailed information in the aging report window. There is no need to double-click each customer/vendor row to view the details.
    We would strongly to recommend you to upgrade to 2007 version or join the ramp-up of 8.8 release soon.

    hi all,
    Thru a workaround i brought up vendor reference number in print preview/print,
    Applied formatted search in  journal remarks of ap invoice thru query
    SELECT $[OPCH.NumAtCard]
    ,this will populate vendor ref. no in journal remarks
    which can be displayed in details in aging report.
    Is there any solution other than above to bring vendor reference number in print ?

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

  • Crystal Report print layout error during print preview

    Hi Everyone,
    When I try print preview a marketing document, it will work the first time, and then when I try to print preview again it brings up a window asking me to login into the database with the sa username and password.
    When putting in the correct password, the login fails.
    When I click cancel, SAP hangs up and requires a restart.
    All print layouts were done in Crystal Reports, and imported via the report layout manager.
    This occurs on all marketing documents where there is a crystal print layout.
    Anyone will be able to help me with this?
    Thanks

    Hi Rahul,
    Your solution worked. Thank you very much.
    I also did not include a stored procedure into the connection that was needed in the layout.
    This could have also added to the problem (for future reference).

  • JasperReports - how to save as PDF from Print Preview page?

    Hi all!
    How can I save reports created with JasperReperts (with iReport tool) as PDF?
    On print preview, when I select it is as PDF, and click on "save", nothing is saved. Also, I get NoClassDefFoundError despite I included all nessesry classes (did I?). Here are list of included classes
    jasperreports-1.2.7.jar;
    jasperreports-1.2.7-javaflow.jar;
    commons-beanutils-1.5.jar;
    commons-collections-2.1.jar;
    commons-logging-1.0.2.jar;
    commons-digester-1.7.jar;Here is my code:
    void printWithPreview() {
        try {
          JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
          JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
          //byte[] pdfasbytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print); // can I use it somehow?
          JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        } catch (JRException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }Can you help me with this?
    Also, I need to know, how to limit options "save as" only to PFD (on same Print Preview page)?
    Thank you in advance!

    Right!
    I was missing iText.jar.
    So, you need only this code to get report preview and feature to export to pdf, html and other formats:
    void printWithPreview() {
        try {
          JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
          JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
          JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
        } catch (JRException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }You do not need to save it specificly to c: or other "hard coded" directory.
    Thanx 1000 times!!!
