Problems in exporting Urdu data to pdf through Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
We have a designed a crystal report in latest Crystal Report SP2. The database used is MS Access, the data is in Urdu langauge. The data is displayed properly on crystal report main preview.
The problem is only when we export the report to PDF there is a data loss. The content is not properly exported.
Some additional unexpected characters are also getting inserted.
But the same content is proper if we export the report into .rtf or .doc format.
I have tried this with Arial Unicode MS and C-DAC UROT-GIST Galid fonts.
Please help.
Regards,
Sitaram Gaikwad

CR only support UTF-8 fonts.

Error exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We are getting following error while exporting Crystal report to the PDF and preview in IE:
Description: Failed to export to a pdf file -- Selected exporter does not support one of the features used in this report. MyReport {DCA37817-1414-45A7-8DF9-75503B8CD0FE}.rpt
This report having chart object as subreport, however export to Excel works fine and we could see chart fine in Excel. Any other reports without charts are exporting fine to the PDF format only this one having issue.
Report developed with Crystal Reports 2008/SP2, server we are running this report having CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge file installed successfully. We can't install 12_2 or 12_3 downloaded from your site because of errors we are getting while setup with these merge files somehow.
Server configuration: Windows 2008 RC2 64bit, .NET framework 3.5, project executing report compiled as x86 ASP.NET project.
Thanks for help!

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

Hello All
When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Some additional details.
CR2008 version 12.3.1.683
Adobe Reader version 9.3.3
Windows XP Professional
Thanks
Phillip

If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.
Thank you

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Exporting Options in Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to make my report for my users.   I am also programming a viewer in vb 2005 so the users can view the report without changing it. In the viewer I need to be able to export to excel or pdf or any other format. I want the user to be able to specify where and how to export the report. However when they press on the export button it is giving a save as dialog box, which, while it gives options to save as excel or pdf, it does not give the options such as to application, or to file, which are there in the full crystal report product.
My form gets the report name, sets up the data source and then displays it in a
CrystalReportViewer object.
CrystalViewer.ReportSource = MyReportDocument
        CrystalViewer.DisplayToolbar = True
        CrystalViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
        CrystalViewer.DisplayStatusBar = True
        CrystalViewer.EnableDrillDown = True
        CrystalViewer.EnableRefresh = False
        CrystalViewer.EnableToolTips = True
        CrystalViewer.ShowExportButton = True
The export button is there, it just does not give all of the options that I would have expected. I see there are ways to programatically use the options, however the export dialog box that appears in crystal reports 2008 would be useful to the user here. Is there a way to make that box show up. Perhaps it should be and I am doing something wrong. I am very new to .net and crystal 2008, we used to use crystal 8.0 with vb6 for a viewer. In that version the export dialog box showed up correctly. Thank you for your help. Also, if i am posting this in the wrong forum area please let me know so i can post it where it should be.

You are doing things the correct way, unfortunately the export dialog is very basic. If you want this extra functionality, you will have to code it yourself.

Problem in Exporting Dashboard data using IR 9.3.0

hi all,
I am working on Hyperion IR-9.3.0. I have two OLAPQuery sections (as OLAPQuery & OLAPQuery 2). I am collating the data from these two
OLAPQuery Sections into a single Dashboard.After doing so I am exporting data present on DASHBOARD to PDF format using
ActiveDocument.Sections["Dashboard"].Export'',(bqExportFormatPDF,true,true,true);
I have succeded in performing above steps.
Now my problem is the number of columns after collating both OLAPQuery section becomes 18. But after Exporting(Dashboard) To PDF format i
can view only 13 columns. I tried exporting after reducing column width to lowest size possible but still i can't export complete data to PDF.
So how to EXPORT complete data from DASHBOARD to PDF file?
Thanxs.

Did you used query section or pivot section in the dashboard

Problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.

Hi SAP guru's,
I have a problem while exporting the data from a report to an excel file.
The problem is that after exporting, the excel file seems to have some irrelevant characters....I am checking this using SOST transaction..
Required text (Russian):
Операции по счету
№ документа     Тип документа     № учетной записи     Дата документа     Валюта     Сумма, вкл. НДС     Срок оплаты     Описание документа
Current Text :
   ? 5 @ 0 F 8 8 ? > A G 5 B C
!   4 > : C       "" 8 ? 4 > : C      !   C G 5 B = > 9 7 0 ? 8 A 8        0 B 0 4 > : C         0 ; N B 0      ! C <       ! @ > : > ? ; 0 B K        ? 8 A 0 = 8 5 4 > : C
Can you help me making configuration settings if any?
Regards,
Avinash Raju

Hi Avinash
To download such characteres you need to adjust code page to be used during export. You can review SAP note 73606 to identify which code page is required for this language
Best regards

Crystal Reports 2008 export to PDF does not render Japanese fonts

Hello,
I have searched the forums for this issue, and there does not seem to be a clear resolution to this problem. We are using CR2008 to create RPT files that are bundled with our custom .NET 2005 application, which then generates reports in PDF format by running the RPT files against an access mdb database using the CR2008 runtime (our application is deployed on a different machine than the one that is used to create the RPT files). The issue we are having occurs when data in the access mdb file contains Strings with Japanese characters. The system that our application is running on does contain the eastern asian language fonts so if a user opens the mdb file using access, they can see the Unicode strings in the database rendered properly (rather than the usual boxes and garbage). However, once our application generates the report filling in the rpt file with data from the mdb and exporting the report to pdf format, the entries that should contain Japanese font data, which leads me to believe the problem is in the export pdf function of the crystal reports 2008 runtime. Is there anyway we can configure the runtime to properly embed the fonts in the PDF so that the users can view the Japanese content from the database. Our users end up viewing reports on both OSX and Windows using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for the quick reply!
1) Exact version of Crystal Reports. (Open Crystal Developer. Go to Help> About Crystal Reports).
12.0.0.683
Type: Full
2) What happens if you export the report to PDF format from the standalone Crystal Reports Designer?
Same result. The entry shows up as giberish in the report designer preview...however, by doing this I stumbled upon something. See below
3) Are you able to export the report to other formats without any issue?
See Note below
NOTE:
In another part of the report, I just put the fields in question directly in the report (that is, not embedded in a text object). That part of the report when run produces the correct non-gibberish, properly rendered Japanese result (in the CR designer preview). The same field, however, when embedded in a text object, results in the gibberish being shown in the designer preview as well.
Now when I export this to PDF, that ends up turning both areas into the incorrect, gibberish result. Both the one that did properly render in the preview (field not embedded in text object) and the one in the text object.
Exporting to any other format (tried xls, rtf and html) results in correct rendering for the field not embedded in the text object and incorrect rendering for the field embedded in a text object.
Hope this helps with the problem, and I think it means this thread probably still belongs under this current forum.
Cheers

Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character can be seen at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
I also tried doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
but no luck.
If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation!

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

Crystal Report 2008 Area Chart Data Label Problem

Stacked Area Chart (Layer Cake) Issues:
We would like to use a Crystal Report (2008) Stacked Area Layer Cake chart to show the workload RPD's (Sum of Resources Per Day = Y value axis) and Data_Date of the study (M,Month of study date = X value axis, using fiscal year type cycle Oct - Sept).
Each Stacked Area represents the workload RPD's for a single project, or group of projects.
When showing labels or series information the chart becomes overloaded and not visible to read because there is over 400 data points.
Is there a way to break this dataset down so that values and/or labels are visible, using the crystal report options available? To suppress multiple layers and show a single label per layer?
We tried using the Color Highlight to group and display them by group and condition. The labels and series data points are still over crowded.
We also need to overlay the chart with the Average FC Totals from an additional Crosstab report. Is there a way to overlay this over the 1st layer of the report?
