Bug in PDF generation with Report Builder CF8

Hello
there is a bug in the calculation of the left margin of a
page.
I upgraded from MX 7.02 to CF8. My "old" Reports worked fine,
but when I export them to PDF an print them the left margin is
different.
I'm using metric settings in the Report Builder. I created a
new Report with Left Margin 2 cm and a single Field with the left
Property = 1 cm (0.9879 cm). The printed paper with these poperties
where fine. I could measure appoximatly 3cm . But if I use Report
Left Margin = 1.27 cm and Field left Property = 0.35cm. The left
margin of the printed paper is only 1.1cm.
So it depends on the choosen Values of report left margin and
the left property of a field.
Does anybody else have the same problem?

I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
- and some of them less visible than these file paths.
It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
the full path?
As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.

Cf8 report builder characterEncode ?

HI,all
I am using win xp sp3/cf8.01, cf8 report builder,mssql2k5,IE6
There is the following requirement in a program:
When there is Chinese character in the label of report builder, but not get Chinese from the Database, as the picture illustrate below:
When the label in the Report is Chinese word, the Chinese words will replace by “?” if the Report generated into pdf file.
The final result as the following picture shows:
If press F8 button, the situation is below:
If I change the pdf character Encoding into identity-H, the problem still cannot be solved. Is there anyone who can tell me why and how to solve the problem? Thanks very much!

This problem appears to be fixed in build 181436 of the

Dynamically passing text and url-based images as an input parameter to cf8 report builder

I'm unsuccessfully trying to dynamically pass text and url-based images to a group footer or the detail section via an input parameter or even hardcoded. The field has the attribute 'XHTML Text Formating' set to True. The following are failed samples of a simplified value:
"<img height=’300’ alt=’Document’ width=’300’ src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
or
"<img src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
This just results in the above text being output. The end result would have various text and images from a database as input by a user, thus the reason I cannot just use the hyperlink information attribute as I could if it were a single known image. I tried rtf and pdf report types. Ideas?

HTH,
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, although I don't know how many images my user might need or what sizes so that might be tricky.
Since my target output is rtf so that MS Word can be used to edit the result, I added a pagebreak to a MS Word doc and used the resulting html source to replace the rich text editor source code for the page break, but that did not help either. The page break was so a user could add an image later. Something is wrong with the Report Builder related to intepreting XHTML, especially anything that has an attribute, including URL-based image links. I hope they try to provide another update before CF9. I doubt my client will be going to CF9 for some time, since they are just completing the migration to CF8.

Does CF8 Report Builder work with CF7?

Title says it all. I have CF7 and I recently uninstalled CF7
Report Builder. I saw CF8 Report Builder on the adobe downloads
page and wondered if it works with CF7 (minus the new features of
CF8).

Hi Tarun,
The runtime distribution packages are for licensed users who have developed an application. As long as your app is for internal use only then there are no extra fee's. However if you are selling or installing your application outside of your company then please contact our Sales team to purchase a one time deployment license package.
As for making CR 2008 runtime work on and in 64 bit OS's, it won't happen. CR 2008 is 32 bit only. Next version of CR has both 32 and 64 bit runtime but it's currently beta only and should not be installed in a live production system.
Your other options are to use VS .NET 2008 and CR 10.5 runtime which does have a 64 bit runtime package but is limited as to which database types you can connect to and export types you can export the report to.
Thank you
Don

CF8 Report Builder duplicates subreport parameters

I am experiencing this problem running Report Builder under
Windows XP:
1. Create a report.
2. Create a subreport that has input parameters.
3. Add the subreport to the primary report and define
subreport parameters.
4. Save and close both files.
5. Reopen the primary report file.
6. Look at the list of subreport parameters for the linked
subreport
I routinely find that in this scenario, any subreport
parameter that I originally defined has been duplicated, such that
if I started with:
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
Upon reopening the primary report and insepcting the
subreport paramaters list I will see:
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
Which causes errors when I attempt to run the report.
What's the patch schedule for report builder?

Margin Bug in CF8 Report Builder???

Build: 193563
When I set my left and right margins to .50 inches the generated report comes out with a .25 inch margin left and .75 inch right. After a couple of hours searching the web for a solution and playing with various combinations of margins, I changed my margins to .49 inch left and .51 inch right and the report is much closer to centered on the page.
Is this in fact a bug in Report Builder CF801? Is there something I'm missing or should I look somewhere else for answers?

Report Builder can't setup RDS

When trying to setup RDS in the report builder for CF8 I get
an http 1.1 404 Object not found error.
Windows authentication is off and I can use RDS with
Dreamweaver.
Any thoughts?

Try and temporarily turn off Windows Integrated
Authentication.
If it works, double-check to be sure you turned it off for
the CFIDE directory permanently.

How to pass an array or structure, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder as parameters

Is there a way to pass an array or structure for example as parameters, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder in CF8? I believe this was recommended by users to be in CF8.

BrianO,
Although it's been a while, I thought I'd provide the code to do this for you. It works for me in CF8, and probably will in CF7.
Here I create a structure called My, and provide that one parameter to my CFReportParam tag.
<CFSet My = {
Client = "Client Name",
ReportDateFrom = DateFormat(ThisStartDate, DateMask),
ReportDateTo = DateFormat(ThisEndDate, DateMask),
PageHeaderImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Page_Header.png",
WatermarkImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Watermark.png",
GetBarSummary = GetBarSummary,
GetPieSummary = GetPieSummary
}>
<CFReport Template="#ReportPath#\SpendSummary.cfr" Format="PDF" Query="GetSummary">
<CFReportParam Name="My" Value="#My#">
</CFReport>
Inside the report itself, reference the given parameter as Param.My.PageHeaderImage for example. It can be referenced that way from any expression inside the report builder. You can even use the queries as the data source for charts (using the Data From a Query -> Query Builder -> Advanced) by entering "Param.My.GetPieSummary" where it says "Variable containing query object".

ColdFusion Report Builder 9 Using MySQL query's

Hey Everyone
I have been pulling my hair out for several days with this, I have all of the Adobe ColdFusion 9 dev books, and Google returns a cluster of information that doesnt seem to work. I was hoping someone could help me out here.
So what I did was open query builder in Adobe ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, I clicked the icon at the top that says report query and placed the following mySQL information, which works fine.
MySQL
select name.soc_sec, name.last_name, name.first_name, nmcrs.course,nmcrs.crs_txt AS Course_Title ,practicl.day_cod,CAST(practicl.start_hr AS VARCHAR(2)) + ':' + CAST(practicl.start_min AS VARCHAR(2)) AS Start_Time,
CAST(practicl.end_hr AS VARCHAR(2)) + ':' + CAST(practicl.end_min AS VARCHAR(2)) AS End_Time, nmcrs.section, nmcrs.sch_yr, nmcrs.sm_desc, nmattend.attend_txt,address.phone,address.cell_phone,
address.e_mail
From name
--INNER JOIN nmprg ON name.soc_sec = nmprg.soc_sec
        INNER JOIN nmcrs ON name.soc_sec = nmcrs.soc_sec
        Left Join crssect ON name.soc_sec = crssect.crs_id
Inner Join practicl On practicl.sid = nmcrs.sid
        inner join nmattend on name.soc_sec = nmattend.soc_sec
        Inner join address On name.soc_sec = address.soc_sec
WHERE (name.camp_cod = 'California') AND (nmcrs.sch_yr = '201213')and (nmcrs.semester = '1') and (nmattend.attend_txt = 'SP') and
(nmcrs.section not like'w%')
group by name.soc_sec, name.last_name, name.first_name,nmcrs.course,nmcrs.crs_txt,practicl.day_cod,practicl.start_hr,
   practicl.start_min, practicl.end_hr,practicl.end_min,nmcrs.section, nmcrs.sch_yr,nmcrs.sm_desc, nmcrs.grade,
   nmattend.attend_txt, address.phone,address.cell_phone,address.e_mail
ORDER BY nmcrs.section, name.soc_sec
Now I place my fields where I want them in the desgner, I double click the field to open the expression builder and all I have to type is something like query.Start_Time
When I run the report it lists all of the start times that match my criteria.
good
So my trouble is, I would like to use an if statement to make something happen based on the start time and cant get it to work. I have tried using <cfscript> <cfif> <cfquery> if, IIF, nothing works, mainly because once I use one of those tags it no longer recognizes the query.Start_Time.
I was wondering if someone could give me an example on how to do this like
<cfif (query.Start_Time) IS '12:0'>
query.Start_Time = '12.00'
</cfif>
or
<cfscript>
if(query.Start_Time == '12:0')
     query.Start_Time = '12:00';
</cfscript>
I mean I know thats wrong and Its probably not that simple but all I need is a simple example to work off of and one would be greatly appreciated. Or even an example in the mySQL info I provided would work too. Please Help
Thanks
Shawn

Shawn, forgive me not focusing on the direct question, but I want to clarify first that this is not the right forum for that question, about the CF Report Builder. This forum is for CF Builder, the relatively new CF IDE (integrated development environment) for CF, based on Eclipse.
Your question about the CF Report Builder should be directed to its own forum, the CF Reporting forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion/coldfusion_reporting
I do understand the easy confusion (the name CF Builder is awfully close to the CF Report Builder). Also, the forum name “CF Reporting” may not have jumped out as a place for RB questions. (For any readers who may be interested, the list of all CF-related forums is at http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion)
That forum is not as busy, no, but then the Report Builder is quite a bit older, having come out with CF 7, and not really having been updated much since then. Still, there are folks there who have replied to questions asked, including Adobe staff.
Since I don’t read that forum myself, and won’t see your question asked/answered there, let me point out something else that may help (in case others there would not). You say “I have all of the Adobe ColdFusion 9 dev books”, and that may mean various books like the CF Web App Construction Kit books that Ben, Ray, myself, and others have done.
But did you know that there is an entire chapter on the CF Report Builder in the free online CF9 manual called “Developing ColdFusion 9 Applications” (a 1300-page manual which many miss entirely , as happened with the versions for CF8 and 7 as well). Many people never even know there is any such “documentation” from Adobe for working with the CF Report Builder. I’ll note also that we (writers of books) may not always get into all the detail that’s in those docs because, well, we don’t want to duplicate their effort. But I know even some writers/bloggers/forum respondents never even know of the manuals, as they are rarely referred to.
In your case, with the CFRB, it’s especially important to be aware of its substantial chapter:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24 -6fc2.html
For instance, you may already know about this but there you’ll learn that there is a QUERY attribute for the CFREPORT, whereby you can build the query dynamically (as any CFQUERY can be) and then pass that resultset to the report. That may suffice to solve the challenge for you, but if it does not, then you may want to at least take a moment to peruse that chapter before proceeding to ask the question in that other forum.
And if the book doesn’t help (and I grant it may not) them one more suggestion before you may re-post the question on the other forum: it really may be best for you not to make reference to MySQL or CF9 in your subject, as you did here. There’s doesn’t really seem anything about your challenge that’s specific to them, but saying it in your subject may limit who would read/reply (if they don’t use with MySQL or are not yet on CF9).
Hope something there’s helpful.
/charlie
PS If you may feel that this answers the question, please do mark it as such in the forum web interface, if you would please. Thanks.

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,
For quick review of new features, try virtual labs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx
As to the Report Builder features, we can refer to the following articles:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213578.aspx
