Report 6.0 in PDF

Hi,
Can anyone help me out in this
I want the report ouput in pdf when i call if from forms instead of saving to hardisk. I have tried using the following parameter
destype - file
desname - c:\test.pdf
desformat-pdf
It creates the file in c:\ drive but i want the user to view the report in pdf instead to saving it. My report version is 6.0.5.28.0
Regards

I'm not sure if you still need this or if your user has gotten used to the new way of doing things, but if you extend the validity date of the form you used to output in table T5UX7, you should be able to produce the older version of the wage list. You can get to the table via the IMG: Payroll > Payroll USA > Tax Reporter > Tax Form Definition > PDF Based Forms > Define Validity Dates and Form Parameters.
Something else that we've done in the past for our users was to download the TemSe file into Excel and create a macro to parse and filter on the EE detail records.
Hope this helps!

Not able to print the report I created in pdf portrait using report 6i

Hi
I created a report using oracle report builder 6i in pdf format portrait style. When I run the request from apps instance could see the exact output I wanted from "view output" but am getting printout from the printer I selected in different format i.e it prints in such a way that if we open a pdf using notepad how does the data in it looks,in the same way am getting the printout. I tried with different formats like postscript,html,..etc But still am getting the prinout in the same format as I told above. I can take print out from viewoutput but I want the print out directly from apps request. The thing is using the same printer I get prints when ran for other report requests which were in landscape and portrait also but nt sure report requests with pdf format working or not. Please help me if you know the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance

Dhar,
In order to use the PDF output type in Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) there are some server and EBS setups that have to completed first. Your EBSA DBA or Apps Server Admin will need to make these setups. I don't recall what setups were involved, but I do remember it took us a while to get everything configured correctly before we were able to use the PDF output type.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Report generation in HTML, PDF over Word

Hi,
I am building a report by generating it in Word, PDF formats. To generate the report with data in a certain format i am using MS Word API to get a better layouts for the content, fonts, alignments, etc. I am able to bring the application with format i require, but the only problem is the performance is pretty poor and if the data is huge it will hang. Hence i am thinking of generating the doc. in PDF , probably i need to use the adobe PDF library and do it. My question here is what is the advantages of generating a report in "HTML" and "PDF" when compared to "Word"? If there is any article on this, pls do provide. Whether the performance will improve? Any ideas of using Adobe PDFAPI, if samples are there pls. do provide as well. I need a help from the gurus regarding this. Please do respond.
Thanks,

How to run 2 reports to send 1 PDF e-mail attachment instead of 2 e-mails.

I used 9i Reports to create 2 reports in a PDF format. I run these reports from a 9i form using the web.show_document command. XML is used to send the 2 e-mails with the reports.
Is there a way I can combine the running of the reports to make one PDF to created 1 e-mail attachment or run the reports at the same time and attach 2 PDF files to 1 e-mail.
I have no problems running 1 report and sending 1 e-mail attacment!
This is example of the XML used in creating the e-mail:
- <destinations>
- <foreach>
- <file id="Test" name="REPORT_1.pdf" format="pdf" instance="XXXX">
<include src="report" />
</file>
</foreach>
- 
- <mail id="ex1" to="&DESNAME" from="&DESNAME" subject="&DESNAME;*;&p_postal_number: was submitted for
approval on &p_postal_date">
<body srcType="text">This is to notify you of a new submission that requires an approval before being
sent to out. Please use the URL link below to review the information as soon as possible.
https://xxxx.aaaa.sss.com:234/web_html/static.html AAAA Administrator</body>
- <attach format="pdf" name="Report_1&.pdf" srcType="report">
<include src="mainSection" />
</attach>
</mail>
</destinations>

You can use iText to combine two PDF files into one.

Exporting or Printing each page of a Crystal Report to a separate pdf file.

Is there a way to export or print each page of a Crystal report to a separate pdf file? If possible, I would look to use the family nunmber field in my report as the file name. This is not required, but would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
Standalone CR Designer doesn't have the ability but CR Server or BOE does. Or if you have a .NET or Java you could write an app that would spit out one page at a time.

Automatic Storing of Report Through Delivers in PDF Format to Local Disk

We need ihelp on our problem below.
Goal : We want to automatically download the IBOT reports in to a PDF file on our local hard drive for archiving purposes. We are able to get this working and the code is working fine with IBOTS calling Java Script in Windows environment and IBOTS calling Java Classes for AIX (our obiee is installed on AIX).
Problem : Java script code is able to return the name of the report which is chosen as the content for the IBOT -> under Delivery content Tab select content tab(containing the name of the report). Thus my downloaded PDF file is containing the report name which is good and what we need.The Java classes have been combined as a JAR File with 3 other dependency JAR Files which are needed to talk to the Scheduler Classes which are as follows.
C:\OracleBI\web\javahost\lib\scheduler\schedulerrpccalls.jar
C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\WEB-INF\lib\xdocore.jar
C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\applications\xmlpserver\xmlpserver\WEB-INF\lib\versioninfo.jar
However when we now invoke the ibot with java classes on AIX box,we are not able to get the name of the report in the download file. We are not able to find the right JAVA supported method for OBIEE delivers to get the report name. In short what we want is the equivalent of this Java script code below in Java classes for OBIEE.
Java script which returns the name of the report is done by this one line code.
var foldername = GetConfigurationValue("Log Dir", "iBots") + "\\" + UserID
we need the equivalent of this "GetConfigurationvalue" in OBIEE scheduler Java classes to get the name of the ibot.This is a mandatory requirement from the business users to have the name of the downloaded report on the AIX Box using IBOTS and Java classes.
Thanks

Concatenate different reports in a single PDF file

Hi,
I need to concatenate different reports in a single PDF file.
What I want is to have a single PDF file as a result of a single URL request; but my request runs different reports having a single file as a result.
In other words, I already have the report A, B and C.
I'd want to build a new report "D" that invokes A, B and C returning a single PDF that contains A + B + C.
How can I do it? Is there a SRW function?
Thanks in advance for your help

You can concatenate pdf's together using Ghostscript on unix. Just a bit of scripting.

Date not showed when report is viewed in PDF .

Hi,
We have a text field that shows the date on which the report is running.Date is not showed when report is viewed in PDF.But in HTML we can view them . Can any one help me out?
Totally there are four pages for the report.

I have observed the PDF driver iin EPM 11.1.2.x is not up-to-date and technically the Date (Text) is there just like in HTML. However, when you increase the View (Zoom in), it eventually does show up.
I have chatted with Oracle Support, and they will not address it with a patch for now.

FM for converting PDF to XSTRING - display R/3 report in Portal as PDF

Hello SDNers,
Requirement:
I am trying to display an R/3 report in Portal as PDF. I am trying to do it with the following logic:
1. Call a RFC enabled FM from my Webdynpro Java appln.
2. The FM then submits the Print request for the R/3 report and then gets the spool.
3. Convert the ABAP spool to PDF (using FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF).
4. Convert the PDF to XSTRING and send it back to the calling Webdynpro appln.
5. Using the XSTRING regenerate the PDF using some Webdynpro Java APIs.
The Problem / Question:
The output of the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF is a table of type "TLINE" which includes TDFORMAT and TDLINE.
To get the XSTRING I am using the FM "'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING". This FM only uses the "TDLINE" and completely ignores the "TDFORMAT". When I import this XSTRING value into my Webdynpro for Java appln., and assign to the corresponding UI element, my PDF does not show up.
My FM code is like this:
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
      EXPORTING
        src_spoolid                    = gd_spono
        no_dialog                      = 'X'
TABLES
   pdf                            = t_pdf
IF sy-subrc 0.
ENDIF.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT t_pdf INTO w_pdf.
        CONCATENATE
          output
          w_pdf-tdformat
          w_pdf-tdline
        INTO output.
      ENDLOOP.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
        EXPORTING
          text   = output
        IMPORTING
          buffer = outputx.
I doubt if "'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'" is the right FM to use in my scenario.
If we had a smartform, we could have used the FM "CONVERT_OTF" , but in our case we do not have a smart form and I am not able to figure out which FM should be used.
Please suggest if I am doing any thing wrong.
Thanks for Reading.
Regards,
Raj Kumar

Hi
check this thread
spool to pdf conversion
It looks like you are missing translate in you processing of the table t_pdf. Something like the following line is missing:
TRANSLATE gd_buffer USING '~ '.
Loo at the standard program RSTXPDFT4 as well. It converts spool to PDF and then you can download it to your desktop.

Format on HTML report different than on PDF view

I have a Quote report based on Product Revenue that we send to our customers. I have it formatted nicely when initially displayed and also when viewed with the Printer Friendly HTML option. But... when I view it as a PDF, it is not even close.
The layout of the report uses a narrative section with HTML formatting to get the elements to align correctly, per the documentation. The HTML I use is as follows:
Narrative Section formatting code:
<table width="600">
<tr><td colspan=3> <div align="center"><b><font size="5" face="Times">
@10</font><br>
<font size="4" face="Times" > Prepared Exclusively For: @8</font></b>
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr> <th width="250"><div align="left">Quote Details</div></th> <th width="50"> </th><th width="300"><div align="left">Sales Manager Info:</div></th></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote ID: @9</td><td> </td><td>Name: @16</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Quote Date: @15</td><td> </td><td>Email: @17</td>
<tr><td>Quote Expiration: @14</td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=3><div align="center"><b>Phones - Cell:</b> @18, <b>Work:</b> @20, <b>Fax: </b> @19 </div></td></tr>
</table>
Notes: @11Is there another way to get the HTML view and PDF view to look the same (or at least close)?
(more details and examples here --> [HTML and PDF Views|http://crm.nurserysupplies.com/images/CRM_HTML_and_PDF_views.doc])

To date, this is considered a product limitation. I just talked with an escalation manager regarding this very issue, and he offered to bring this up with the product managers/engineers on 5/15/09. I recommend escalating this issue and asking your escalation manager to do the same.
We are trying to create a customer contract based on Opportunity information.
The best way to accomplish what you are trying to do is: Click Printer Friendly > Click HTML > Click on File - Print in browser window > Either print to PDF using a pdf printer from adobe or the cutepdf or print a hard copy.
