Printing Crystal report using Generic Text output - formating lost

Hi. I have an accounting system using Crystal to generate it's business forms, in particular invoicing as reports. Recently we have installed new printing system that needs generic text to capture and create the business forms (invoices) into a graphic and text. When Crystal sends data to Generic Text Printer, you can view it ok as a preview but it moves text around , bunches it up and formatting is never the same for two documents. I need resolution as the printing software needs fixed text in a specific location within the data file. Is there a way in Crystal to format fields so they dont move the data and bunch it up. The business forms written in Crystal have sub reports that are supressed if no data is to be printed, but finding text is moving and hard to capture a fixed location in text file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
Thank you for your responses.
Yes, I'm using a bundled version that came with VS 2005.
I'd love to download this update, but I cannot get there! I don't have an login and password for this site, and I don't know how to get them.
This is all I'd found about this issue in this thread:
http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=844
"I opened an incident with Business Objects. They said there is not a way to do what we want to do with the Crystal Reports for .NET assemblies. They are going to implement a way to create a postscript file and include it in Service Pack 3 of Crystal XI Release 2. They would not say how the postscript will be created (ie, ExportToDisk or any other method), only that they would include it in CRXI Release 2 SP3 which they intend to release sometime this coming winter. "
"Just an update...this has been fixed in Crystal XI Release 2 Service Pack 3.
I just finished testing, and it now allows you to print to a file without prompting the user. We are now able to create a postscript file."
Thanks,
Peter

How to display infinity symbol in Crystal Reports using PDF as output

Hi
I need to show infinity symbol (u221E) in reports. I am using a formula and based on certain criteria i have to display infinity symbol.
If (somthing ) then show 'Error' (String)
else if something then 'u221E' (String)
This works fine in RPT file preview , but when opens in PDF , it shows ? mark as if not understood.
I used ChrW (Number) but it has until 255 and does not have a number for infinity
Can someone let me know how do i do this

Thanks for your reply
The version is JRC 11.8.4.1197
It would not be feasible to upgrade at this moment, we are already in production and need a solution for showing infinity in PDF.
Can you suggest something using crystal formulas could be possible or any other solution please .

Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

Dear Experts,
I am using VB.NET
We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
Regards,
Eswar

Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.

Print Crystal Report directly from C# without using Report Viewer

Hello All,

We have a problem with printing crystal report over web using ActiveX Control. When clicking print button, it only shows a blank dialog web crystal viewer page without any error.

How do you reference a Formular Object on a Crystal Report using Java

Hi all,
I am trying to reference an object on my report which contains a Formula field.
I have read the following 2 threads, but they refer to textObjects:
[How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java|Re: How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java?]
[Changing the text of ITextObject programatically|Re: Changing the text of ITextObject programatically]
But I cannot even get those to work. I can reference a object which refers to a database field but as soon as I try
reference a textObject or reportObject I just get a NULL variable.
Below is the code I am useing
IReportObject dbField = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB1");
IReportObject textBob = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB2");
"BOB1" is the name of my DB field Object, and "BOB2" can be a Text box or a Formula item and I just get nothing.
I have just tested it with a FieldHeadingObject and that returns a valid object, so clearly I am going about this the wrong way
for objects I place on the reports which are not driven by the database items.
Ultimately what I want to do is reference an object in the Report Footer which will contain the RecordCount of the number of
records contained in the report, which I am them going to use to determine if the report holds data,
if it does I will print it, else ignore it and move on the the next report. I am doing this so that I can at an extra filter to split
a report up into groups and produce a sinlge PDF for each group instead of one massive PDF containing all the groups.
So if someone has a solution to any of my problems I would be very greatful, and I dont mind being told Im an idiot and should
rather do it another way, as long as you supply that other way
Thanks for the help
Darren

Forgot to add am using CR4Ev2 SP3

Right I have made some headway.
Firstly, Im an idiot. I was making changes and setting up test fields on my report, but then when running the app, I had it looking at
the backup report, which would explain why all the new textbox fields were not being found.
The stupiditity did force me to delve deep and work out a fair bit of how the reports work, so cant complain too much. BUT, I am still
not able to return values of Formula fields and formulas extra. Could someone tell me if this is even possible. I get retrieve the formula field
name, and properties but not its value once the report has been populated. Am I wasting my time?
Well I will continue dismantling my reports till I find the answer, or someone points me in the right direction.
If any one is interested this is the code I used to drill down to my text boxes:
IReportObject recCount = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("TB1");
ITextObject obj_RecCount = (ITextObject) recCount;
System.out.println(obj_RecCount.getName());
Paragraphs objP = obj_RecCount.getParagraphs();
for (int i = 0; i < objP.size(); i++){
     ParagraphElements pE = objP.getParagraph(i).getParagraphElements();
     for (int j = 0;j < pE.size(); j++){
          IParagraphTextElement pEE = (ParagraphTextElement) pE.getParagraphElement(j);
          System.out.println(pEE.getText());

Need to sum hh:mm:ss in crystal report using Running Total Fields

Hello,
I am new to .Net and crystal reports so please go easy on me.
I am trying to develop a crystal report using Visual Basic .NET. I have a column which displays the "Inbound Time" in "hh:mm:ss" format. I have to sum the total inbound time and display it.
I tried using the Running Total and i am not successful.
Here is the code which I am using in the Running total
WhilePrintingRecords;
if isNumeric({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}) then
{Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}
else
CStr ({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime});
NumberVar array test2 := [ToNumber(left(CStr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),2)),ToNumber(mid(Cstr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),4,2)),ToNumber(right(Cstr({Report3;1.TotalInboundTime}),2))];
StringVar test1 := CStr( (ToNumber(test2[1])3600)+(ToNumber(test2[2])60)+(ToNumber(test2[3])));
InboundTime is the time field which is in "hh:mm:ss" format.

Crystal reports using xml at run time??

Post Author: avnkkishore
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have very simple requirement.
I would like to create a crystal
report using XML. This
XML file will be decided at run time
(not at design time).
Hence i have added a crystal report viewer control to my windows form and did
not choose any data source (i left it blank currently). Now i am trying to load
XML file with the following simple code.
            PropertyBag
crLogOnDetails = new PropertyBag();
crLogOnDetails["Local XML File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xml";
crLogOnDetails["Local Schema File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xsd";
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.Attributes = crLogOnDetails;
            // create
"Host" table
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table tbl;
            tbl = new
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
            tbl.Name =
"Host";
tbl.ConnectionInfo = conn;
rcDoc.DatabaseController.AddTable(tbl, null);
I am getting exception exactly at the above line (i.e. when adding table to
Database Controller) saying "COMException was unhandled" with error code
0x80004005 Unspecified error.
Can any one please help me regarding how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,

Crystal report 8.5/ changing the format conditionally

Post Author: Amsa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Using Cyrstal Report 8.5 I have a letter on the crystal report which get populated from the sql database by the sql procedure..That letter includes the Name and the full address. And if the customer has the apt number it prints that as well.So this is how it goes. Amin Shah91 09 Tample AveApt # 31Elmont NY, 11373 so each line there is accociated with the field from the stored procedure. But what happens is that when the customer doesnt have the Apt # that line prints empty and there comes a blank line. So for that I have to shift that TownState row up. I don't know how to do this. If anyone can help please.Thanks.

Post Author: rroberson
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
split up the section the address is in so that Apt # 31 is in its own section (can all still be in details or a single group -- you just break it apart using "insert section below" or by splitting the section with your mouse). Lines below show breaking of sections. __________ Amin Shah91 09 Tample Ave ____________ Apt # 31_____________Elmont NY, 11373_______________ Then choose "suppress blank section" for the Apt #31 section. If you have anything in the section besides database fields you will need to conditionally suppress those as well so that the section really is blank (and therefore will be suppressed by the 'suppress blank section').

How to print Crystal Reports XI

Help! I need to print my report using Crystal Reports XI. In order to do this, I need a password, but the person who registered the product and created the password is no longer here. No one knows the password.
How do I print or get another password?
Thanks,
Jane

Hi Jane,
We need to have password for the database when we want to preview the report.
For now if we don't have the password try to create the new database or get the password for your old database from your DBA.
But, try to check if the previous person who know she password has left the report with in any location with saved data option .
I.e. To save the report with Preview mode as you want to have a look at the report template.
Else we need to create a new database with ODBC Connection, and create a new report.
Regards,
Naveen.

Printing Crystal reports via Great Plains 10

Hi,
I am unable to print (to printer) crystal reports in Great Plains 10. I can preview the report, export and print the exported file but the Print button does not respond when I click it (no errors, nothing) in the Crystal preview screen. We are using Crystal XI, Developers Kit.
I have set the report to 'No Printer', verified that I can print other files from the server, verified the default printer and I have spokes to GP (Microsoft), nothing has helped with this issue.
OS:
MS Windows Server 2003
Standard Edition
SP1
Thanks,

Hi Carolyn,
Great Plains is an OEM partner of ours and they MUST resolve this issue for you. If they can not figure out what the problem is they can create a case on line to get help from Support to help you.
Not sure if you have Crystal Reports Designer or not but if you do can you print from the Designer? If you can then it's an issue in Great Plains software.
Thank you

Problem with NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on different machines

We have 5 machines here in our workgroup which have the same state regarding security patches and other system updates. We recently found out that there is a problem with the NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on the different machines.
If I would open the VI on MachineA the control could be loaded. If I would open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineB to MachineA and open the VI the control could not be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineA to MachineB and open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. MachineB could load the version from MachineA and MachineB but on MachineA only the own version will load. I have seen that both versions have the same GUID for the Microsoft Webbrowser but are different in some other aereas.
Since printing HTML Reports is part of the application which will be distributed as application I want to know if someone else have seen such a behaviour or has got problems distributing an application.
Also I want to know which additional information is stored in an Active-X container about the control beside the GUID.
We have Win XP Prof SP2 with MS IE 6.0.2900.2180 on all machines in the workgroup.

Hi Tom,
this is the VI <vi.lib>\Utillitiy\NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi copied from a machine that can load and run the VI and it will print. On this machine the control in the VI is white.
This VI will give the "Control could not be loaded" message on my machine.
The file shdocvw.dll is 2006-10-23 16:18 size 1.460 KB and I verifyed that both machines have the same version of this file.

Hi
i'm trying to print crystal report layout from sap b1. when i preview the report as pdf file, i have the option to choose Fit in size option and then the layout print O.k with out any margins that been cut.
The problem start when i'm trying to print the layout directly from sap b1 (printer button) which cause the page to be cut in it width margins.
How can i control the printing of crystal layout when i'm printing it directly from sap b1? do i have the option to chose 'Fit page size' from sap system?
