Printing and Exporting to Powerpoint

Hello,
I'm a relatively new user of Xcelsius and hoping someone could guide me through the problems I have come across.
First -  Printing:  I've exported the Dashboard I created using Adobe and now looking to print it.  For some reason, when I print from the Adobe file the page always comes out blank.  The only way for me to print the Dashboard is to do so from Xcelsius in the preview mode.  How can I, and those receiving the Dashboard, print from the Adobe file?
Second - Exporting to Powerpoint:  I have problems exporting to Powerpoint.  I can export to Adobe and Word without issue; however, when I go to export to Powerpoint, all that appears is a blank grey canvas when Powerpoint initially opens.  How can I export to Powerpoint so that it works on each try?
Third - Creating a slide show of Dashboards:  I'm looking to create multiple Dashboards and have them displayed in one presentation to run in one slide show.  I've tried to copy and paste different Dashboards into a presentation but it won't allow me to do so.  Is there a way that I could have multiple Dashboards in one presentation and run continuously as a slide show?

Hi Jennifer,
you need to start slideshow to see the swf in the powerpoint.
If it still does not work, you can export your dashboard to swf and insert the swf manually into powerpoint slide. You can see this thread
Re: Export to PowerPoint
or this link
http://www.mix-fx.com/tutorials/importpowerpoint.html
for details on how to do it. The same way, you can export several swf files and insert each one in a separate powerpoint slide in your presentation.

  • How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

    I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print.  Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file.  However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it. 
    Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
         Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
         Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
         Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
         Dim Fname as string
         CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
         CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
         Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
         CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
         CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
         With crExportOptions
              .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
              .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
              .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
         End With
         CrReportDocument.Export()
         Response.ClearContent()
         Response.ClearHeaders()
                    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
                    Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
                    Response.Charset = ""
                    Response.WriteFile(Fname)
                    Response.Flush()
         Response.Close()
         System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
    End Sub
    So here are my questions?
    1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
    2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
    I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer. 
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer  ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; )  however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
    The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked.  The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead  (You have to do this check in a postback)
            Dim I As Integer = 0
            If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
                For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
                    Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & "<BR>")
                    If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
                        CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
                    End If
                Next
           End If

  • How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane

    Hi Experts,
    In BIEE 11g,
    How to hide the Print and Export button in analytics report or tasks pane ?
    For example:
    In console,I have created one userA which is belong to BIConsumer GROUP , when I make use of the highest user 'weblogic' to create one simple report, then the userA will login the analytivs to view this report (not dashboard), it will show the print and export as below.So customers do not want to give him the privilege for printing and exporting.
    In addtion, go to catalog->tasks(left corner), it will also show the print and export button. So how to hide or not access these button?
    Note: Maybe it can use the policy for consumer role for implementing this requirement, but I do not know how to modify the policy. Are you facing the problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. Create seperate folder for Reports & Dashobard.
    2. For BI_Consumer (userA) set the catalog permission to view Dashboard Folder only and remove permission on the Report Folder (you can give traverse permission but don't give Open permision).
    3. By this user won't be able to open or run any reports in that folder and the only way he can see the reports is through Dashboard and on dashboard the export and print buttone can be removed very easily.
    Mark helpful if it helps.
    Regards,
    Kashi

  • Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

    Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
    To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

    There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
    Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.
    Sincerely,

  • Error when changing the color of the dashboard and exporting to PowerPoint

    Dear All,
    I have been facing an issue with exporting my dashboard to PowerPoint.
    I did a first version of the dashboard, exported to PowerPoint and sent to a client. All worked fine and the client could open and customize the dashboard. After that, I was asked to change the color of all lines and backgrounds of the dashboard, so that it would fit the product colors we are working with.
    After this color change, the client cannot open the PowerPoint with the dashboard anymore because an error message appears saying that "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Some more details about the error are: AppName: powerpnt.exe; AppVer: 10.0.6842.0; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180; Offset: 00010f29.
    Any thoughts about what might be happening?
    I'm working with Office 2007 and Xcelsius 2008 but I'm saving the ppt in the previous version because the client is working with Office 2003.
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Vanessa

    If you have the clip in your viewer window
    to change the speed it is in themotion tab.
    I also use the right click alot and run in to this problem.
    You could just pull the clip to the end of your timeline,
    adjust the speed,
    then place the clip back where you want it.
    But that is not an efficent work flow

  • PDF Printer and Export to Word

    I was trying to export this PDF to word, and Vista would always claim that the Acrobat stopped working when it is checking the tags. Then later I was just trying to see if it would work if I start with a new PDF, so I was trying to print it. Now I get this:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: definefont; ErrorInfo: .notdef --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    /Font
    -dict-
    /PVRAAA+DY98+ZBHAlq-98
    false
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

    Thanks. Now that the PDF is smaller, I can convert it into a Word document.
    HOWEVER, now all the numbers are messed up. For example, when I try to select and copy the number 93.57 I will get (%&,*
    And its like that for all numbers in the document......

  • Captivate 5 and exporting to PowerPoint for storyboarding

    Hi
    In previous versions of Captivate I could export the slides to PowerPoint and would storyboard with my subject matter experts.  Is that a feature that is no longer available?  Ugh if yes that it's gone.  Please bring it back.  I can't possibly copy and paste each screen for the 20 modules I'm getting ready to develop averaging 75 - 100 slides per module.
    If the feature no longer exists please provide an alternative.
    Signed,
    Desperately seeking storyboarding capability
    thanks in advance for help

    Hi there
    Can you expound on the steps you used in earlier versions to output to PPT? Admittedly this workflow is a bit new to me, so I'm wondering if you could describe it, perhaps there is somehting in version 5 you could use.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Print and Export button doesn't work for Crystal Report  in VS 2008

    Hi,
    When I click on the Export/Print button, it looks as if something is happening but no window comes up. Below is the code in C#

            string Fname;
            if (!System.IO.File.Exists(strReportPath))
                throw (new Exception("Unable to locate report file:\n" + strReportPath));
            //CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.
            // Set the Crytal Report Viewer control's source to the report document.

            cr.Export();
    Can anyone tell me why is this happening, need to fix this urgently.
    Thanks,
    Reena

    Hi,
    I removed all the export code, now when the Page loads. When I click on the export/print button still nothing happens.
    "Error in File C:\DOCUME1\rpatel\LOCALS1\Temp\DailyTransaction {0CE72E59-0AF6-4859-9173-EF563869CBBF}.rpt: Invalid export DLL or export format. "
    My code:
    ReportDocument cr = new ReportDocument();
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    string strReportPath = string.Empty;
    cr.SetDataSource(dt);
    cr.Load(strReportPath);
    string Fname;
            if (!System.IO.File.Exists(strReportPath))
                throw (new Exception("Unable to locate report file:\n" + strReportPath));
    CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr;
    Fname = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString() + Session.SessionID.ToString() + ".rpt";
    cr.Export();
    The sample has Delphi example, it would be good if there is a C#/VB sample available.
    Thanks.

  • Print and Export failing

    When I click either the Print or Mail links in Reports in SSM 7.0 SP8 the PDF is not being created. Either we get an error dialogue box pop up  saying:
    'There was an error on this page.
    An internal programming error may keep this page from displaying properly.
    Error message: 'undefined' is null or not an object.
    URL: http://server:50100/strategy/pilorworks/reports_pmc.htm
    Line: #118'
    Alternatively the pop up where you add the annotation appears but never completes to deliver the PDF. The error dialogue also appears when using Operational Review.
    Using another machine we generate the PDF but the PDF which is created is not of the Report but rather is of a previous print  of a completely different report that we created fine a week ago.
    Where should I be looking to resolve this.

    Hi Colin,
    There is obviously something strange happening as I've had no problem with creating new reports, and then bringing up the print or email window - both things do an identical conversion of the screen using PD4ML and open the window in Acrobat Reader.
    I wonder, do you have the same problems with creating an Operational Review?  I ask because it's a very similar process which is going on in the background when you do that.
    Given that you're seeing something which was created a couple of weeks ago, there is obviously an issue with something that is being generated, but I'm not sure what.  I've not heard of PD4ML getting stuck before, but I suppose anything is possible.  I'll see what I can figure out.
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • Printing and exporting iCal events in date order

    I would love to be able to print out my gigs and events in date order so that I can give this list to the people in my band and my agents. 
    iCal does not do this and there are lots of people asking a similar question.  I don't know enough about programming to alter the scripts, and I love having my dates synced across all my toys, but is there another app or facility that will give me the same functionality of iCal with the print-in-date-order option?

    possibly could try calprint app??

  • Printing and export to PDF

    I am having a problem with my PDF file. When I print from Pages everything looks great. When I either export from pages as a PDF or save as a PDF from the print screen, I am getting extra margins on the top of the page. How can I get exactly what is printing to save as a PDF?

  • Character spacing messes printing and PDF exporting

    I'm having problems printing and exporting to PDF from Pages.
    The problem is that when I'm using Character spacing (ie. -7%) they display different on screen, on paper and in PDF. They display right on the screen. But PDF and printing get messed up, the spacing is not right and it adds more space to the fonts.
    I'm using:
    Mac OS X 10.5.1
    Pages 3.0.1
    Thanks,
    Fannar

    I was having the very same problem. I was trying to make a business card with my name centered and character spacing at 40%. The character spacing seemed to only work for the first character. When it came to print or export, the text had shifted left as if it were centered with the spacing applied.
    Fear not! I found a solution. Instead of directly printing or exporting as a pdf, I chose to save as a PostScript file in the print dialog. I could then open this file in Preview and save as a pdf or print with the designed character spacing.
    File>Print>PDF>Save as PostScript..
    This work flow also fixed some nasty degradation of smaller fonts.

  • I want to create a document in Illustrator that i can use for Print and Web - using 2 different colourspaces.

    Is it possible to do this?  I need to create a document so that I can export as a high quality CMYK for print and export the same file as RGB jpeg / pdf for web and email use.  Do I have to create the document with 2 different colourspaces, or can I change / convert the colourspace after I have created and finished the document?  or is there some simple way to select an RGB / CMYK option when saving/exporting?
    look forward to your reply!
    Tom

    Tom,
    In addition to what Monika said, the document can be either CMYK or RGB Colr Mode, but not both.
    And you are right in starting with the CMYK because that will ensure (to the degree possible) that the CMYK and RGB versions match in colour (gamut, the CMYK gamut being the more linited and almost entirely included in the RGB gamut); this will prevent more vivid RGB colours which will make the CMYK colours seem duller.

  • I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    I created a brochure in pages and exported it to a pdf format. The pdf looks and opens perfectly using preview but when opened in adobe reader (which my printer uses), fonts look odd, transparencies don't display...etc. Tells me error exists on page?

    Does this essentially mean there is no way to fix this problem on my end? It's a pity because the design and branding of my brochure will suffer if I remove transparencies and use different fonts. It also concerns me moving forward because it means the quality of print on my pieces will be significantly lower because most commercial printers use Adobe products.
