Report designer - Printing option - chops off columns to fit in page

When I run a report from report designer, it runs perfect(can scroll to end with all the columns) - but when i try to change to print format(PDF), it chops of many columns of the report to fit into the page... I have a query with 15 columns but in the PDF i get only 4columns.
Is there any workaround to squeeze in the whole report (*might be landscape) or Is this issue addressed in any OSS or SP?
Thanks in advance folks,
Voodi

Hi Karol, thanks for the answer. Sorry for all the dumb questions, but the report designer is altogether a new animal. Not to mention I havent worked on this.
I havent specified any page size for my report. When i run the report in the portal, the web page contains all the columns and not in PDF. Where can set the page size in the report designer to determine the size of my page.
And is there a way, where i can set an option to embed the report into PDF as a landscape(not while printing, but embbeding).

    Unfortunately not.
    You may try to work around to have set of virtual chars and key figures; but resposne time will not be encouraging.

  • XL Reporter: Report Designer -  Sales Document Type as Column

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question regarding report layout in XL Reporter - Report Designer. Here's the scenario:
    I have created a Sales Volume Report wherein the report should be able to display the quantity per material per sales document type (Sales Order, Invoice, Credit Memo). The Sales Document type is expanded as Column so that the user can view the total per Sales Document. My problem is, can i re-arrange the order of display of the 3 sales document selected. The current (and I think the default order is alphabethical) which is A/R Credit Memo, A/R Invoice, Sales Order. Can I re - arrange it in my Report Designer so that Sales Order will be the 1st column, followed by the A/R Invoice then lastly the A/R Credit Memo?
    Another question, can I change the Display Name of the 3 Sales Document Type? By default, the Sales Document Name is being retrieved by the system. For other fields which where not expanded as column, I can easily change the Display name of the field, but for the sales document, I don't have an idea. Hope anyone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Malu

    If you want the document types in a specific order, don't add as an expansion, but as individual summary comuns, then you can add them in the order you want.
    You can use simple Excel formula to rename the columns - hide the row with the column names & add a new row with if statements based on the value in the cell e.g. if (cell = 'Invoice" , "Inv-AR",'')

  • Printing large sized graphic, cannot find "fit to page"

    Hi I am working in Illustrator 10.
    I am trying to print a big banner (5x15') down to scale on a 8x11" letter sized piece of paper.
    When I print, Illustrator does not have the option in my print dialog box to "Fit to Page" or "Scale to page" or something along those lines.
    Does this have anything to do with tiling? I never understood that & I was never able to resize the dotted tile box.
    Anyway I have been saving as a .pdf in order to print these banners, but just wondering if I can do it directly from Illustrator.
    Can you print crop marks too?
    Please help.
    Thank you very much.
    Jules

    Save As to PDF. Print from Acrobat where you will have the option to Fit to Page etc to your printer.

  • ALV Report Output Print issue with more Columns

    Hi Experts ,
                             I'm facing an issue while printing an ALV report which has around 22 columns .If i reduce the column display in the code . I'm able to print but not with 22 columns.. I have used Line-size = 1023 and line-count = 60 , but still the problem persists .
    I also searched in SDN with similar issue but managed to get only the above solution which is not working .
    Any other ways of doing it , kindly suggest .
    Many Thanks,
    Kumaran

    175 characters is the maximum number of characters that can be generated in a line of a spool (next characters are stored on the next line of the spool). When the spool is printed, these line feeds are respected.
    What is possible (I don't know) is that ALV chooses its own format type instead of the format type you have chosen when you run your program in background. To check that, just look at spool attributes (SP01).

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement as below.
    I have a RDF report in that i am printing 3 copies of print in the printer,my requirement is in the second print copy i need to print a different footer.
    Ex: 1st copy footer:'ABC'

    Please help me on this.

    Than perhaps you don't have your mail system configured properly, such as a missing "smart host" or missing smtp relay in your sendmail configuraiton, or perhaps security options on your smtp gateway, or a networking or DNS issue, etc, etc.
    I suggest to try sending a normal e-mail and check the logs to make sure that it works, before troubleshooting the script.

  • Fonts when sending Reports via Printer Option (10g Reports / Redhat 5)

    When I send a Oracle 10g report to the printer, which PPD file is it using? The printer you install on the server or the one in ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory?
    I installed a printer on the Linux Server and copied the file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. I added some new fonts in the PPD so that the report would pick some Windows fonts that didn't exist originally on the Linux. I installed the fonts on the server and am able to see them in PDF Output options on the server.
    When I send the report with the same parameters to the printer directly, it doesn't see those fonts. I only modified the PPD for that printer on ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/PPD directory. So I was wondering if I have to do it on the installed server file as well or not.
    Any help is appreciated.

    This was a response that I received from Oracle Support. Basocally, I'd have to install the font in the internal printer memory to get this to work.
    Is there a way to send a Report to PDF in Oracle Forms and then at the same time once that PDF is generated, send it to the printer (without user interaction). That would take care of my problem. That would take care of my printing issue. I know PDF's work and I know I can print them displaying the fonts just fine.
    Support Response:
    Fonts need to be present in the PPD file as well as the internal printer memory .
    Reason is as follows.
    1)Based on PPD file , Font metrics will be used to create thye PS file with the correct font names.
    2)When the PS file is sent to the the printer, actual fonts are not sent . Note that this is a limitation of Oracle Reports PS driver on unix and . Hence, it is required to have a printer that has the fonts installed in its memory/system.
    Currently there is an internal pending enhancement request to upgrade the Postscript driver of Oracle Reports

  • Report With Print Option

    Hi Everyone,

    Hi.
    Already there will be a button to print in the Application Tool bar.
    Activate it in the Status of your MEnu and if needed write some code by looking into a std Program or on your own, such that it prints the document when it is pressed.

  • Will only give print option of "current frame" for a six page PDF document opened from link in Safari.

    I'm new to Mac having just moved from a PC.  The TD Ameritrade site provides statements as PDF documents which are opened by clicking on a link.  The document is displayed in a pop-up window and there is no problem viewing all pages by scrolling.  But there is no PDF toolbar and Safari will only allow me the option of printing the "current frame", not the entire document or several pages.  What am I missing?  Does the Mac not actually bring it up as a PDF? 

    Hold down the OPTION key and click on the link. That will cause the document to download to wherever you set DLs to go. Then, open it in Preview and print everything.

  • Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

    Dear All,
    We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
    we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second  page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
    efforts made:-
    Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
    Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
    But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
    Regards,

    See my answers below:
    a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
    b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
    c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
    d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
    Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

  • 6x4 photos print with picture off the end of the page

    HP Deskjet F2480 with Snow Leopard
    I have tried to print 6x4 photos from iPhoto and the preview appears correct but the photo comes out with the top of the picture missing and a white band on the other end. I called HP and they suggested I uninstall and get the latest software which I have done but it has not made any difference.
    Can anyone help please?

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  Great question!  I've been thinking about this one and a couple of things come to mind.  I've included a couple of links below that may assist.  One is loading the media, the other is for setting photo paper size, (in Windows) but you get the idea.  The odd part is that it appears correct in preview, which leads me to believe it's more hardware related (how the paper is loaded)   Close attention to the last paragraph.  Good Luck!

  • I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, and now every time I print, it cuts off the bottom of the page, and is missing content.

    Ever since I updated to OS X Yosemite, I have had trouble printing. I don't just use one program. I use many. Printing from the internet, Word, Preview, everything. It just won't print correctly. It has no margin at the bottom of the page, and continues as though theres more paper, and is therefore missing content. It's so annoying. I'm going out of my mind. what do I do?

  • Printing problem: "fit to page" option does not work, even from cmd

    hello!
    i am switching a company over to linux, that's why i am trying to make it shine as much as possible!
    unfortunately i have to explain why something as simple as printing an email to one page instead of 1 and half isn't working...
    no matter what i always get the same layout ... through
    a) print menues which give me the option to scale to page e.g. firefox's print menue or
    b) command line with the option found in (http://localhost:631/help/options.html#FIT_TO_PAGE)
    lp -o fit-to-page filename
    lpr -o fit-to-page filename
    they both do not result in a scaled to one page output, instead i get the same result a print without any extra configuration gives me (2 pages).
    i don't know where to report this problem!?
    since i don't know whether it is an arch, Canon, CUPS or postscript problem ...
    my setup is:
    manjaro/arch linux (latest packages)
    CUPS 1.7.1
    canon imagerunner irc2880 - printer language = postscript
    gnome 3.10
    (i use the canon "cque" aur package to get the only working ppd for this printer (cel-irc2880-ps-de.ppd) [working = print both b/w & color] ... ps stands for postscript.
    pls help or direct me to the right channels
    THANK YOU

    can anyone with firefox tell me whether the checked checkbox

    firefox -> print... -> options
    works for you?
