Problems with formatting negative numbers in Reports PDF web output.

Hi,
I have a problem where all the values in a column are right-aligned. The values are all numbers. If a value is negative, then the value is placed a character to the left, putting it out of alignment with the non-negative values. I can't figure out why this would be.
The problem doesn't appear in Reports Builder, or when the Report is generated to a PDF: File > Generate to file > PDF.
The problem only appears when the Report is called through the web application we've created for our client. It is output to a .pdf in a web browser- Internet Explorer 6.
I am running Oracle 10g.
Any ideas on solving this?
Regards,
James Sharman.

Just some clarification-
in Reports Builder, the values look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
but when running from the web application, they go wierd and look like this:
100.50
100.00
-100.00
100.00
Regards,
James Sharman.

  • Application Express 3.1 + BI-Publisher + problem with formating numbers

    Hello together!
    I use the Oracle BI Publisher Template Builder for Word (10.1.3.4) to generate RTF-Templates. I upload these templates in Oracle Apex (Advanced support-->BI-Publisher/OC4J as print service).
    It works well, but I have a problem with formating numbers.
    In Template Builder I define following number formats, for example: #.##0 for numbers like 1.454.234 and #.##0,00 for numbers like 54,80
    In Template-Builder Preview it looks well.
    But whatever I do, in use with Oracle Apex dots and comma are allready interchances in the printout.
    That means,
    1.454.234 become 1,454,234 in PDF-Report
    54,80 become 54.80 in PDF-Report
    Other than that, the layout is exactly the same like in Template Builder defined.
    What's wrong?
    Do I have to change any country parameter?
    Juliane

    I also had the same problem. I tried with normal formating of 99g99g999d99 instead of ##,##,##0.00 and it has resulted correct way.

  • Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server  2008

    Dear all,
    I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button'  on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter'  First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
    Could any one help me with this?
    I appreciate looking forward to your reply

  • Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf

    I'm having problems with the Adobe reader for iPad.
    Whenever I modify a pdf file, adding notes or any other mark up, I'm not able to see any of the markups in the file when I open the same file with another application or I send it via e-mail.
    Only the digital signature is still visible.
    Thanks

    You are correct. When i open it with Adobe i get my mark ups etc. When i use Apple`s pdf view i do not.
    Problem solved.

    Re: Problems with notes and mark ups in pdf created by Pat Wibbeler in Adobe Reader for iOS - View the full discussion
    Can you share what applications you are using to view the notes after emailing? You have to view the document in a Reader that supports annotations. Apple ships a built in pdf viewer (like the one used in iBooks) that many iOS developers use (e.g. Dropbox, email). This built in PDF viewer does not support rendering annotations. However, many other applications (like the Adobe Reader for iOS and the Adobe desktop products) do support Annotation rendering. Similarly, one of our competitor's PDF viewers (PDFExpert) supports this functionality as well. Annotations are part of the PDF standard and the specification is widely available and we would love to see more renderers support it!

  • HFM 9.3 - FR Studio - can't format negative numbers with minus sign prefix?

    How can negative numbers on an account balance report be made to appear with a leading minus sign??
    This is a necessary requirement for generating an export file for loading to our new Tax software, but does not appear to be a format option.

    Have you tried going into Format Cells - Number - Negative Number Symbols - and typing a minus sign in the prefix box?

  • Problems with hyperlink when converting .docx to .pdf using Word 2010

    I have a Word 2010 .docx document that has a link to a web site in it. The link works fine in Word, but does not work after the conversion to PDF. I am using the Acrobat add on in Word to create the PDF.
    There is a pound sign ( # ) in the Word doc hyperlink and it is being changed to a percent sign ( % ) during the conversion to PDF. Any suggestions?

    I will report the bug. I had read about some other problems with .docx files so I saved the .docx to .doc and then converted but I got the same results.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Problem with index of numbers in BSP Front end

    Hello All,
    I am facing the below problem. Request your help.
    Scenario: When I am trying to add the projects in the Front end , I am facing the problem with the index of numbering of the projects.
    Example: If I am adding 6 projects ( at the max only 4 on each page i-e there are 2 pages ), then the index is wrongly numbered and the arrow (for direction of the pages) are wrongly displayed. The direction of the arrow is pointed to the next page rather pointing to the previous page and the index of numbering of the pages is wrong.
    Request you to please suggest if this is any code fault in the table maintainance activity in the backend (BSP).

    Hi Irina,
    If you mean the number range is skipping 10 numbers in between runs then its because of the buffering in the number range.
    To avoid the buffer influencing the number range, pass
    'X' to the function module parameter: IGNORE_BUFFER.
    This should resolve the problem.
    Cheers,
    Aditya

  • Facing Problem with passing Values from One report to another

    Hi,
    I am Hemanth, I have developed 2 reports. Firast Report High Level Summary, Secong is detailed. First report is developed using Union(4 union) , I am having 4 columns. The report is generating the data. I have used Navigation option on Client Column to move on to Second report. In Second report with in Filter i am using Prompted option. Due to some problem, the client value from first report is not passing to the second one. The second report is getting generated for all the clients.
    Normally i have used this Navigate option in other reports and that works fine. I have even tested with Union, it works. This time it is giving some trouble.
    Please, let me know whats going wrong.
    Thanks for the help.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat 11 Pro - problem with right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" output folder

    I'm migrating from one machine running Windows XP Pro with Acrobat 8 Pro to Windows 7 Pro with Acrobat 11 Pro.
    On the XP machine, when I right-click on a document and select "convert to Adobe PDF" the process works just fine - it always outputs the file to the target destination I have set in the Adobe PDF printer definition.
    On the Windows 7 Pro/Acrobat 11 Pro machine, the exact same settings are ignored: the PDF will always end up in the same folder as the source file.
    Both the source folder and the destination folder are on one of my office's networked drives.
    Under the Printing Preferences, I have the output folder address set the same on both machines, so it *should* go to the right location on the new machine.
    Oddly enough, on the Acrobat 11 Pro machine, if I select Adobe PDF as the default printer and do a test print, it *does* print to the correct folder!
    This has got me stumped!
    Thoughts?
    (update from later in the day)
    If Adobe PDF is selected as the default printer, I *can* select a bunch of documents, right-click, select "print", and Word will open up, and they'll print to the correct target folder.
    So, it's "just" the right-click "Convert to Adobe PDF" that doesn't work correctly.

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Synching problems with pages and numbers

    After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

    Found a solution, but it is odd:
    On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
    Go figure ...
    Hope that this helps someone else.

  • Problem with opening a Numbers document

    I have a problem with a Numbers document, which I created 3 weeks ago and step by step extended with additional functionality. I'm not anymore able to open the document. I can rename the document and maybe - I didn't try - delete the document. But when I'm clicking on the file's icon, the error message appears "Tabelle kann nicht geöffnet werden". It seems that the file is defect but how I it be revived. What steps I have to do to re-open the document?
