Printing PDFs in report S_ALR_87013611

Dear Experts,
we use report S_ALR_87013611 (cost centers actual/plan variance) to print with option: all variation reports (in separate spool requests). Output device is a PDF-printer, Windows printer is a PDF-creator (with option automatically save a file).
SAP creates the file names by concatenating user name, spool number and system-ID.
Since there are about 200 cost centers we donu2019t want to rename the files manually. The file name should contain the cost center e.g.
I have found the OSS notes 441954, 450987 und 480561, where you can maintain userexit01 u2026 userexit06 in program SAPFGRWE.
Has anybody done this or similar one before to give me a hint, in which of these 6 subroutines I should implement my coding? Does anybody know the variable I have to change (file name).
Thanks and kindly regards
Britta

Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?
Thanks!

Problem in Print PDF dashboard report

Thanks in advance,
I have created the report like below in obiee.
Name__ Salary__ Period Year
Selva___ 15000__ __3__ 2009
Suresh__ 10000__ __3__ 2009
Selva___ 15000__ __2__ 2009
Suresh__ 8000__ __2__ 2009
Selva___ 13000__ __1__ 2009
Suresh__ 10000__ __1__ 2009
Selva___ 10000__ __12_ 2008
Suresh__ 7500__ __12__ 2008
Here i included the calculation field based on presentation variable for displaying the value for last 4 months and include the default value year=2009 and period=4
after creating this report i run this report for different prompt (Year and Period) its displays the correct result based on prompted value.
but my problem is when i going to take print as a PDF for this report then i display the result based on default prompt (ie, Year=2009 and Period=4) even though i changed the result in print PDF it display the values based on default prompt.
could any body help me to solve this problem?

There seem to be a number of similar issues in that version, if found this one 'Presentation and request variables not passed when Downloading Data http://ID 795952.1'
on metalink as SR 3-871969451. I believe this is te same basic issue affecting your print to PDF. Its fixed in version 10.1.3.4

Printing PDF from Report Region - Header Details

Hi,
I've searched around for a while but was unable to find an answer to my query.
I have a simple report region, which i added a "Print" link to the bottom of - this brings up a formatted PDF version of the report which can be printed out, i'm just using the default PDF layout.
When it comes to adding a header and footer the PDF still functions ok, but when i try to add any page items it all stops working.
I basically need the time and date to appear at the top of the report, i created a hidden field just using the PL/SQL command "SYSDATE" which does return the correct value. But when i try to add this to the header or footer in the format "This document was printed on &P1_DATE", the PDF doesn't work, and when i try to download it, IE says the filesize is 0b.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, either something i've done wrong or if there is a better method,
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply Scott,
The PDF does download when I put a fullstop after the name of the item. Unfortunatly now the PDF displays as if the item "P1_DATE" is empty, i.e. it says "This document was printed on ",
I've made P1_DATE visible and it definitly displays a date, yet the exported PDF displays nothing where P1_DATE is referenced,
Just to confirm:
The Item is called P1_DATE
The references i've tried are &P1_DATE. and &P1_DATE
the date is populated by the code SYSDATE
Thanks again,
Iain.

Problems printing PDF from Reports

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the Report's way of generating pdf-documents.
The report that Reports was supposed to create have some bullets where but when Reports converts the document to pdf it sometimes insert asterisks instead of bullets...but only sometimes. At other times the bullets are substituted with | signs ???
When I open the file with Acrobat reader, you can see the asterisks (sometimes) and (sometimes) the bullets, so I don't think that it is Acrobat.
How do I get it to print bullets every time?
Can it be something with fonts ?
All help is appriaciated very much as I'm going crazy soon :P
mvh Christian

Hi Christian,
I have a similar problem with Report 10g R1. We have a Report which contains a lot of informations, so all field have the little size they can (on report builder). Some times, the report is ok, but some times, informations are replaced by '*'. Report replace characters by '*' when there is not enough place !!!
If I compare a good and a bad report, I can see that the text has not exactly the same size !!! And I can see in the PDF (open with text editor) that there are some differences...
I have an open tar on metalink, but no solution for the moment...
Another thing, this occurs on our 3 production servers but not on our development server...

Print Quote the report is in PDF but need to be new RTF template

We have 11.5.10 apps, the Quote screen is an OAF screen.
When clicking Print Quote the report is in PDF, They want to include a new RTF template for printing instead of PDF.
The new RTF template is created. But what I do not know is how the quote screen will take the new template. I can use XMLP to upload the RTF template but that may not be sufficient to make it appear in the Quote screen.
I am looking at the profile ASO:Default Layout Template. Am I headed the right way?

Printing out a report in PDF format

Hi,
A colleague and myself have been converting an existing system for our customer from the traditional client/server architecture to a web-deployed system on 10g application server. I have been converting the reports from report 3.5 to reports 10g. The reports work fine but the problem we have is more to do with the printer than the reports itself.
We have a requirement to print a barcode label (and some other text) to a DataMax printer. This printer seems to be quite fussy about the fonts that are used and essentially if you don't use the DataMax fonts the label comes out blank. I have managed however to produce reports as PDF and if I click the Printer button in the adobe control the report will print out as a bitmap image on the printer.
Is there any way that I can produce the report as a PDF file and get it to print automatically ?

Prohan,
I have never been able to get PDF generation working from APEX. I have asked for some help on this forum, but go no responses. And I just won't spend the outrageous license fees for Oracle BI Publisher. But I have been successful in doing what need with some simple methods.
1. If the email has some simple tables or formatted information from the database, use a PL/SQL procedure to generate an HTML formatted message and the utl_mail package to send the html formatted email. I use this for many customer and internal emails from both APEX and Oracle Forms applications.
2 There is a stand-alone product PL/PDF (http://www.plpdf.com/) that allows you to generate PDF files directly from PL/SQL (again not APEX specific). I have demoed this product and it works pretty well, but I am not using it at this time because of the licensing that requires a fee for each database instance. It's not really that expensive, but it's more than I want to spend for the number of databases I have.
3. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can export XML file from the database and create "mail merge" type PDF documents. But you can also do this with Word and a simple CSV or Excel output. Both of these are pretty easy from APEX. I have used both. I found the Work mail merge to be a little easier for end users to use, so this is my primary choice. But Acrobat Pro method also works well.
If you are interested in any examples of these methods, let me know and I can send you something.

Printing PDF report directly to printer, not using orarrp utility

The orarrp utility works only with Windows machines and it
requires installation on both the client machines and servers to
support. We need a more general solution.
Adobe has a java application/applet/javabean (and support
classes) to view PDF, and it is easy to write a java driver
which can be used in place of the orarrp utility. However,
Adobe's Java Viewer is extremely slow, does not produce quality
output, and is explicitly not supported by Adobe.
My question then relates to Reports. When the Report server
returns a PDF in the Previewer, I'm expecting the JINITIATOR,
used by Forms, is also used to support the Report frame and
functionality, including eventual printing. If this is the case,
is there not a set of classes, downloaded with Jinitiator, which
support the fonts, and printing of PDF to locally attached
printers?
And if so, shouldn't we, in Java, be able to make use of these
classes and their APIs to print PDF files directly to locally
attached printers without the need for Previewing first?

within a forms trigger:
1. generate the report
2. copy from iAS to local
like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

How to directly print PDF file(which is stored in SAP) in ABAP report?

Hi experts,
I searched SDN for printing PDF file but everything is about OTF to PDF and to use fm: CONVERT_OTF which is not the solution for my problem.

Can BI Publisher comes with EBize be used to print pdf report from APEX?

Hi,
We have EBiz suit (11.5.10) with APEX 3.2. Both are working fine. I want to enable APEX to develop PDF reports. I would like to know whether I can use BI Publisher comes with EBiz to print PDF from APEX.
If yes where can I get instructions on how to setup APEX with BI Publisher with EBiz.
TIA
DineshS

I'm not aware of the BIP/XMLP Web Services being available in the embedded EBS version (XML Publisher 5.6.3). But you might be able to create your own wrapper to the XMLP APIs in EBS.

Print List Processing Report to PDF

hi all,
i've read many forums about convert info into PDF. but i'm very new to understand those forums.
In case I want to print list processing report as PDF (not hard copy thru printer). First, user types the data on the screen then click on 'Execute' button, then the system shows the result on screen. After that user asks system for print the screen on menu bar by List=>Print.
So please advise me how to get the spool id, then export as pdf. As my opinion, i may use CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and GUI_DOWNLOAD. But where is the place I should put the methods on?
Thanks in advance.

How to print pdf file in SQL Server Reporting services report using command prompt?

Is there a way to automatically print a SQL Server Reporting services report on command prompt? For eg: We can save a pdf file using rs.exe utility. I want to print a pdf using rs.exe utility. Is it possible? I don't want to install any 3rd party software.

Thanks Simon for replying to my question.
In oracle form, there is oracle command to print the report from command prompt with the help of rwrun.exe
e.g: rwrun.exe REPORT="D:\Test\REP_25\MLA.REP" DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER" P_FORMNAME="MLA.FMX" P_SPRACHE="E" P_SPRACHE_NR2="1" P_WHERE_BEDINGUNG="order by land_nr" USERID="test/test.world" PSV_NAME="PSV_DEMO" PSV_JOB_ID="PS$9583" RECURSIVE_LOAD="NO"
BATCH="YES" NONBLOCKSQL="NO" ARRAYSIZE="1" PARAMFORM="NO" ERRFILE="c:\temp\psv16.tmp"<
and to save the report we just need to change DESNAME="c:\temp\OC_100001349.pdf" DESTYPE="FILE" in above command instead of DESNAME="testprinter" DESTYPE="PRINTER".
DESNAME and DESTYPE are the input parameters of the respective report.
In SSRS, we can run the file from the command prompt and save it.
rs -i "C:\Users\pujarswa\Documents\reports\new\LoadReport.rss" -s ww2004760:80/ReportServer_MSSQL -v fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
-v reportPath="/TipsReport/LoadListTabular" -t -v format="PDF" -v LandNr=4 -u ap\swati -p test@# -e Exec2005
But we cannot use same command for printing as you said we need to create another script for printing files.
I have gone through the links but I dont want to use Adobe Acrobat Reader exe for printing because client it may not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their machine.
Also I want to pass a input parameter as type="Printer" to my report which will print directly for me and same I can acheive in command prompt passing type="Printer" fileName="C:\Users\pujarswa\Desktop\TipsReportLoad.pdf"
