Report 6i -bad Cyrilic in PDF

I have Oracle instance 8.1.7,character set UTF8.
My clients are Windows NT, with installed proper fonts and NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.CL8MSWIN1251(Cyrilic).
When I run reports(6i),output is OK(displays Cyrilic),but when I try to generate output to .PDF file, fonts are not OK.
What should I do?

Well, actually, it's a mixed bag.
-- 6i doesn't use the latest PDF standard and can't handle multi-bytes.
The workaround is horrendous. (I did it, once and only once.)
-- RTF output just dumps out the UTF8 values as if they were text,
which again does not meet the RTF standard for multibytes. Here
a workaround is much simpler. (Basically, post-process the file to
convert raw UTF-8 to the proper RTF syntax for Unicode. We've
been doing that in production for two years.)
-- HTML is easy. Tell Oracle to generate the charset command in the
header, and there you are.
For PDF, though, I'd wait for 9i (or someone who's smarter about
it than I am).

Changing the seeded rdf report output from text to PDF

Hi All,
I am trying to change the seeded report "Print Requisition Report" output from text to PDF. I changed the output format in the concurrent program definition from text to pdf. The report is now getting displayed in pdf format, but the alignment of the fields are changed. The output is not printing as it was printing while in the text output format. The output looks very sloppy, with uneven fonts and too much of text wrapping.
I tried some formatting and fields are somehow getting displayed but doesnt look in proper format. I am not able to change the font style in the report builder 6i, even if i change it is printing in the same font style with uneven font size. I think reducing the font size might help, but i am unable to change.We are on 11.5.10.2. Please provide your valuable suggestions on how to go about.
Thanks
Sarvesh

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the information. After the adjustments in the layout and the font change the report is now getting displayed without any clipping when clicked on view output. But when the same report is printed some characters on the left and and right side is getting clipped. Please help on how to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Sarvesh

Hyperion IR 9.3.1 - Issue in printing the report after exporting it to pdf

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in printing the report after exporting it to pdf format using Hyperion Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. I have set page size of report section to 11X17 inch landscape. Now I am exporting this report section to pdf. Report gets exported to pdf with size 11X17 inch landsacpe. But when I am trying to print this pdf it is shrinking the documnet size to A4 size paper and printing it rather it should print it on 11X17 inch paper size. Please suggest if there is fix available for this issue.
Thanks
Ujjawal

"File > Print Setup > Paper > Size" on PDF.
I think this issue is only to do with the printer and not IR.
I think the question now is "Can your printer print 11X17 pages or not".

Report margin on export to PDF

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2008, Project Server and Report Builder 3.0 and have just inherited an issue.
I have two reports:
D_Subreport: This report contains all logic and detail
D_Report: A report referencing D_Subreport as a Subreport
In one of our SharePoint project sites we run the D_Report, this has a dropdown parameter which allows multi selection. This works as expected - the report displays in the browser with no margins as per the designed report, on export to PDF it has a margin
set, I'm not sure where this is set(?), but it looks good to us.
The problem, when running the D_Subreport from another Project site (no multi select as it runs under the context of the project site) the reports displays as expected in the browser, however on export to PDF there are
NO margins. It seems as though having a containing parent report creates margins within the PDF, running Subreport directly does not.
How do I get it to display using the same margins as D_Report?
Thanks

Thanks.
My problem was that one report had margins and the other didn't - Plus it turns out a Subreport's margins are ignored by the parent report. I had to create a duplicate report in our scenario.

Integrating an Exisitng multiple page PDF file into a report and outputting as one PDF

Post Author: sditmer
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We would like to be able to PDF files into a report based on a file name contained in the detail of the report. For Example, I have some data in our database relating to a specifc PDF file including the name of the PDF that I would like to print in the header of the report and then print the actual PDF as the detail of the report. The PDF may be multiple pages so I would like the remaining pages of the report to follow on each page of my crystal report. Essentially I am trying to merge a report header onto a mulitple page PDF file as a single report. Is this possible to do out of the BOX with Crystal? Do I need some other tools to do this?

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).My Visual CUT software allows you to automate the process of merging the pdf export of your reportwith a pdf file named based on a formula in the report. The resulting merged pdf file can automatically be printed or emailed.

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

IE11 - Crystal Reports - PrintMode ActiveX now displaying PDF prompt (instead of printer prompt)

I asked this question over at stackoverflow and am now taking it here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20672254/ie11-crystal-reports-printmode-activex-now-displaying-pdf-prompt-instead-of
It's a simple straight-forward question. IE11 is breaking the ActiveX plug-in used for printing from the Crystal Report Viewer. All the pretty pictures are in the link I provided. But the jist is that for my ActiveX Print Mode reports, the PDF dialog is presented now instead of the normal Printer dialog (unless I use Compatibility Mode)
Other details:
I am using the Crystal Reports that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. For the life of me I can't remember how this got installed on one of my browser's (maybe an install from Visual Studio?) ... but I've been deploying the Crystal Print Control 10.5 (32-bit; version: 10.5.1.2285).
And as mentioned in the stackoverflow post I have all ActiveX settings enabled and ActiveX Filtering off.

Hi William,
Moved your post to the .NET SDK forum.
CR for VS 2008 was included in the installer of Visual Studio, you can remove it from Add/Remove Programs.
Unfortunately the CR Basic that comes with VS 2008 only had one patch released and that's it. IE 11 was not released when it came out so we could not support it.
Currently there are no versions of CR or our SDK packages that do support it.
Crystal Reports Developer for Visual Studio SP 9 will support IE 11. You can get it from the Overview Tab and then on the left side. But it requires VS 2010 or above and SP 9 will support VS 2013 and IE 11.
In VS you could select either ActiveX or PDF:
I don't have IE 11 but to change the PDF go into the Add-ins menu:
See this link for supported OS's and VS's:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/b4JiAw
Also, IE 11 is likely on Windows 2008 Server or possibly Window 8.x.
Best thing to do is upgrade VS and then download the CR installer into VS so it supports current OS's and Browsers.

Using Adobe Acrobat - Is it possible to execute JavaScript to report to LMS to track pdf was viewed?

Question: Using Adobe Acrobat - Is it possible to execute JavaScript to report to LMS to track pdf was viewed?
What I would like to do is to create a pdf with an Acknowledgement button that when click will report (via JavaScript) to the LMS (Learning Management System) that the end user viewed/acknowledged the pdf.
Can this be down with JavaScript in this fashion?

Thanks, (My fault, as I should have specified this.) Due to legacy reasons I need to use ie, and so I can't use the PrintPdf firefox plugin. So from reading the rest of that thread, the best method does seem to be to get hold of a copy of acrobat, and add a Print() script in each file, and open it in a new tab.
At least it gives me somethigin to try anyway :-)

Using reports to "just" create a pdf file

Hi All,
I'm using oracle aplication server 10g.
I have a situation where i must send several emails into my clients. I want to use the reports server to create several pdf files attached into a "pretty" mail message.
In the end the user will get a full report in a "pretty" html message with several pdf files.
I have already done a very flexibal pl/sql procedure that can send emails into any mail server and using any amount of attach files.
I have already done the reports and i can call them find from the find from oracle forms creating a pdf file.
My problem is that i can't stop the oracle from calling the browser and showing the report on the user screen. I simple want to generate the reports... create a html email message attach the reports (pdf) and send them into the user
Using the build in email support in oracle reports is out of the question because it's a bit limited.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
But i do not want to use reports to send the email, i just want him to generate a pdf file and NOT OPENING the pdf file on the user browser, having that i will use my own pl/sql procedure to send the email with the pdf file attached.
I need this because because reports is a bit limit in the email respect, and with a build in email procedure i can do a lot more things (mail queues, elaborate messages, mail store etc)
PS: i'm using the rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product package to run the reports

I'm using Oracle Reports 10g
I have a report that output to a pdf, I have to make the report misaligned from report builder runtime (screen) so it aligned when it runs from the applications server development to pdf; that works in our development server & pdf is aligned
In out testing application server which has the same exact setup, the pdf is misaligned (all the time, althought it is aligned in development all the time)

Good Morning Samin,
This is interesting question.

Under 9ias , Reports 6i not opened in pdf

My application is written using Developer 6i and runs under 9ias on Windows 2000. I call reports from within my forms and use web. show document to open up and display the generated pdf file. This opens up another browser and runs acrobat reader from within the browser to display the report. This works fine.
My application is used by 4 users named A,B,C & D.
A & D operating system is windows 2000 profession.
B operating system is windows 98.
C operating system is windows xp.
The problem I am facing is ..
1) A & D can run the reports and reports displayed in the PDF,this work fine. But after later date, when D try to run the reports,it can't display in pdf .But A can run the reports and it displayed in Pdf.
2) B & C Can't run the reports from the starting day .The reports not displayed in pdf.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what causes it and how can it be fixed ?
Many Thanks.

Finally got the files. All the xml and the pdf outputs
are created in the c:\winnt\system32 in the 9ias server.
But I've no idea why the output is created there instead
of reports60_path and how to change this setting.
May be 9IAS server exe is in that folder. I would be very
happy if someone could explain the reason and how to change the setting.

Oracle Reports 6i -- Image embeded, formatting PDF, Excel

I am using Oracle Reports 6i on Windows 2000. I run the reports from a Java application, using the RWServlet, passing in the URL all the parameters needed.
Now I need to run from my application oracle reports created by somebody else. Initially those reports were run from a client/server application in the client's Report Runtime environment. And I need at my turn to create others with the same look and feel.
The existent reports do not appear to use any template.
I was going through the Oracle Reports documentation, but I still have to clarify some things.
Here there are my questions:
1.- The company logo image
I found in the Layout Model/Main Section/Margin an image object, but I looked in the Property Palette and there is no path to the image, just under Boilerplate there is a object of Type Image.
How does the report know what to embed in the report's header?
2.- Printing reports in different formats: i.e. PDF
When the reports are run in the client/server Report Runtime environment, the user can print the report in different formats including PDF, Delimited, XML, etc.
Is there a way to print the report in PDF or any other format from my web application that uses the RWServlet?
3.- Report appearance in the browser
Run in the browser the report loses formatting as opposed to client/server.
Is there a way to make the report look good through some sort of general configuration, or should I fix each element that doesn't look god in Live Previewer, or somewhat else?
4.- Report in Excel
Is it possible to save the report to an Excel file or to generate it in Excel from Oracle Reports?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)
