Printing images with Crystal Report 9

I am trying to create a Crystal report with images (and text) drawn from my collections management database (EMu), but the images have a poor quality that they are unrecognizable. The EMu images are jpegs 800 (h) x 682 (w) pixels. The tech people at EMu tried their best to resolve the problem, but finally decided the problem must lie in either how Crystal imports the images, or what it does with them afterwards. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how might we resolve it?
thanks,
Camelia

We inserted the image as an OLE Object>Media Clip>moved it to back
The Emu images are imported on my local drive; when I open the pictures they look ok, only after I run the reports with Crystal the quality of the pictures deteriorates.
thanks,
camelia

Images with Crystal Reports

Somebody pls. advise if it's possible to display images with Crystal Reports ?!
I want to generate a Price Catalog with images.   I have uploaded images into the system.
Unfortunately, Oracle Report Builder has let me down.
A short tutorial on how to achieve this will be useful as i am still trying to get acquainted with CR.
Cheers - Mave

Hi..
I saw your snap shot, in your snap shot you are selecting table fields. The option is much before selecting table fields.
Like :
a. Select Standard Report wizard
b. It ask you to connect to your datasource (ODBC / OLE DB /Native)
c.Once you connect to your database you will see below options
   - Your Database Name
      Add Command
      Tables
      Views
      Stored Procedures
Here you need to select Add Command and it will opend a window to type your sql.

Hello Brian.
Thanks for you answer.
I do just like you say but i have the same problem.
My report is like an invoice: i have an header, a body with a group and 2 sections and a footer.
All the pages of my report must be printed on a background image (A4 format).
This is the problem.
If i create a report with image in a single section all is ok. But in my report if i use a small image, the image is printed and hide columns separator (simple vertical lines) and show data but the following sections lose their right position.
If I use the original image (A4 format) CR return the following error:
header or footer too large for the page
o similar word (I translate from italian to english because I am working with italian version).
Do you have other solutions?
Thank you wery much.
Best regards

Print layout different with crystal report 2008 runtime

Hi,
I have reports which I print on a pre printed stationary. With Crystal report 11.5 run time it works fine.
Now I am using Crystal Report 2008 run time and with this I found that layout on the print is different than the actual layout in the design.
The print with CR 2008 run time is not exactly matching with the pre printed stationary. Whereas it is working fine with the 11.5 run time.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report>
3) Look at page 2 and compare to page 2 from the CR2008 designer (also, see attached compare.jpg file which is a screen shot of both views) - note missing group on page 2
4) Export to PDF, DO, RTF - same issue
5) Print to printer using the viewer print button - same issue

Converting a binary string into a JPEG image in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi Gang
Iu2019m having problems converting a binary string into an image in Crystal Reports 2008
I have JPEG images stored in ECC. ECC stores the data in binary format.
Iu2019m using the ECC function module SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET to retrieve the data. This function module has an export table, FILE_CONTENT_BINARY, which returns several lines of data. Each line contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
When I drop the T_ FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE field into my Crystal Report detail section, I wind up with a report that displays all the lines in FILE_CONTENT_BINARY table. (in my case, 19 lines are displayed.)
I created a formula to collect all the data into a single string.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:= data & {SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET.T_FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE}
I added the formula to the detail section and itu2019s doing a great job collecting the data.
I then inserted a picture object in the report footer, opened the format editor, navigated to the u201Cpictureu201D tab, and inserted a formula for the u201Cgraphics locationu201D.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:=data;
data
My clever idea turned out to be a disappointment . . . . my picture object is blank.
Does anyone have a solution for converting a binary string into a JPEG image?

Save the JPEG in a format CR supports. Refer to the help file for the file types.

Can't Print Landscape from Crystal Reports Viewer XI

Save report with data.
Open that report with Crystal Reports Viewer XI. Report will display landscape.

Viewer will attempt to scale output to fit on portrait paper, with varying degrees of success.
Checking the properties of the report from Viewer (File...Report Properties...) shows a "Page Orientation" of "Landscape" and a message "Page Orientation and size defined by the application (no page information set by report author)."
Any ideas on how to get the report to print landscape? It prints that way from Crystal Reports XI.

Hello Glenda,
as you refer to the legacy technology I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
Thanks,
Jagannath

Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control? We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options. In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

Can't Print preview draft crystal report.

Print preview draft crystal report.
Error message:
One or more fields could not be found in the result set.
Use verify database to update the report. Error in file POR20009. Rowset column could not be found.
It occurs when trying to print (or preview) a DRAFT document with the report being a Crystal report. No problems when the document is NOT a draft. This happens on both SAP 8.8 PL16 and PL17.
Updating the report and saving it again (as suggested by the error message) does not fix the problem.
The DRAFT or u201CNORMALu201D document type uses the same Crystal report. Something seems to be different when passing parameters from a Draft report?
I can preview DRAFTS and NORMAL reports from the Crystal Editoru2019s preview pane. This is only happening when launching from within SAP.
Is this a bug?

Hi Maeve,
Can you please help by posting what exactly was the solution to this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Integration with Crystal Report

Hi everybody,
I have to integrate a process with Crystal Report.
A customer need to have a task form with a Print button that prints a report created with Crystal Report.
I know that you can use webservices to call Crystal Report, but I've not found articles about this integration with Oracle.
Have you ever faced with something like that?
Do you think it's possible?
Thanks
Marti

Hi Nomadus,
I have to use Crystal Reports because this is what my customer already has.
Actually it's an integration with NO Oracle products.
Any idea?
Thanks
