It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • Format Changes when Exporting to PDF

    I'm using Crystal 12.0 and have an issue very similar to these threads listed below. 
    While viewing a report on my development machine, all is fine.  I can export to PDF and the formatting is OK. 
    However, when the report is exported to PDF on the web server, the spacing between some of the text is off.  The spacing is used for a CrossTab cell in a "Display String" that I changed using "Format Field."   All that's supposed to happen here is several spaces are used to move the text under the proper column. 
    When exporting to PDF on the web, the text moves over to the left like it's missing some of the spaces.  I wondering if the below threads apply to Crystal 12.0.

    Format Changes when Exporting to PDF
    Thanks kindly for your assistance,
    -Marty

    I'm having a very similar problem using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. Everything is perfect when running in VS 2008, it takes the report and exports it to PDF format via VB code. The PDF file is idenitcal to the report. However, when run on the server the one page report (when exported to PDF) gets chopped into ten 4x4 chunks. So the PDF file is 10 pages....its like puzzle pieces of the original.
    I've drawn a bunch of lines on the report to look like boxes - perhaps this is causing issues? The font on the report is Arial.
    The server has the 10_5 runtime installed and it is set to the same default printer as the development PC. I have been stuck on this for days and would really appreciate any advice you may have.
    Thanks!

  • When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls

    When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls
    If I rename the file, it opens just fine, if I don't it opens all in one column.
    I had found a fix on my old macbook, but just got a new MBP and it's happening again.
    Can't remember or find where the fix is.
    Thanks!

    That's from June 11, 2007!
    Working from my defective memory, this happened to me, but stopped if I unchecked 'Open safe files after downloading' in Safari Preferences/General.
    At least I think that's how I stopped it - it hasn't happened since!

  • Format change when report open in report expert

    Hi all,
    I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
    concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
    when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
    suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
    according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
    In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
    Thanks

    The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
    you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
    when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
    while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

  • Format changing when IDCS3 file exported to PDF

    I am using Acrobat 8 version 8.1.2, and InDesign version 5.0.2.
    I am noticing a very specific problem when exporting some files to PDF from InDesign.
    We often have a format where we have a numbered list of right-aligned number, followed by some text, a leader line, and then another number at the end of the line. This is set up with a left indent and a first line left indent (rather than using the numbered list options, we are required to do it this way where I work), and then the necessary tabs later in the lines.
    I am finding since we switched to IDCS3, that when I export to PDF, lines containing this format change in the PDF. The text that appears after the number in the front of the line is pushed over on top of the leader line, leaving a huge white space. On rarer occasions, it will move things in lines that have no indents, but contain tabs that aren't being used.
    I have been able to get the files to export correctly by removing the left indent and first-line left indent and using tabs instead (or by removing unused tabs). But we have hundreds of files set up in this manner so going in and changing how they are all set up is problematic to say the least. Many of these are also multi-line and not using the indents means we have to manually tab lines over.
    Is this a known issue? Does anyone know why this might happen and how I can prevent it?
    I tried posting in the Acrobat forums and it was suggested since it's an export issue that I might get more help from the InDesign folks.

    Given that the file is being exported to PDF and not going via a driver route, there really is no reason why changing the default printer should make a difference whatsoever in this particular case. Changing default drivers in Microsoft Office applications, yes, but for this situation, no. And since Acrobat doesn't change formatting, the issue sounds like some problem associated with InDesign. Please report this problem directly to Adobe Tech Support and be prepared to send them sample files. Thanks!

  • Crystal Reports Formatting issues when exporting to Word Editable document

    Version: CR XI, I am editing a document exported from CR to Word Editable
    When exporting to a Word Editable (.rtf) document the formatting changes.  For example: lines that were drawn in the report do not come across, there  is a tab in front of each line and a carriage return at the end of each line and spacing and justification formatting are not the same.  Is there a way to export to Word Editable and keep the formatting integrity? This report was developed by a third party but I can edit it if needed.

    Pages 5 is, as an early reviewer put it, "an unmitigated disaster." Not only does it lack some 100 feautres that are present in Pages 09 (4.3), it is also VERY buggy, A quick look through these discussions will reveal a painful litany of data corruption, files that cannot be opened, lost data, and other anomalies. Links do not export reliably to PDFs, and, as you've discovered, export to .docx format is unreliable. Sadly, the best advice is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 4.3 or — yes, it's come to that — Word instead.

  • How to use auto fit selection when downloading to csv file

    hi,
    I am working on reports, i need to download to a .csv file. I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD is there any option for it where text fits exactly in a single cell.
    For Eg:
    I excel there is an option (Format-column-Autofitselection).
    Then the column size increases or decreased according to the text size.

    Dear Josephine,
       There is no option the way you want of autofit. Rather while opening the CSV in excel u can do the required formatting.
    Regards,
    Deva.

    I haven't tried printing to PDF. I will try that and see what happens. Unfortunetly, where I work we are required to export to PDF rather than print to PDF, so if it works it will only be a clue for me rather than a solution.
    Thanks for the reply. I'll try a cross post to the InDesign forms.

  • How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

    When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes.  I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved.  What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

    Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader.  When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista.  It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
    Take care :-)

  • How to correct UTF8 when download to csv or excel

    Hi,
    when download function in IR to export to csv or excel, how to keep utf8 characters correctly ?
    Thanks & regards

    "hlthanh",
    If you want the CSV download to always be encoded in utf-8, then you should set the application-level attribute "Automatic CSV Encoding" to No.

  • Formatting problem when downloading classical report output to excel sheet.

    Dear Experts,
    My classical report o/p looks like:
    SI    Name   ID
    1      xyz     11
    2      abc     22
    3      eet      33
    4      jnc      44
    When I download the same to a excel sheet from List->Save->file->Spreadsheet and save it.
    The formatting looks like this:
    SI   Name   ID
    1     xyz               11
    2     abc               22
    3     eet                33
    4     inc                44
    That is the heading and column entries are in different columns.
    There is no GUI_Download used.
    Kindly help what may be the issue.

    Hi,
    In the report output the formatting looks fine. It is exactly below the heading. But only when I save it to excel, this alignment issue is coming. Even the columns after this column are are properly aligned and there is no issue at all. Only this column in the middle has issue.

  • Persistent prompt date format changes when reopening report in Webi

    Hi all
    I have a PERISTENT prompt that asks for a date when you run the report. The format is "MM/dd/yyyy". I also have a variable that displays this value in the form:
    =ToDate(UserResponse([Query 1];"Please enter date:");"MM/dd/yyyy")
    When the report is run the prompt works and you select the date from the calendar and all works fine. You can refresh the report and keep the persistent date prompt value if you like. Great.
    The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
    On my report I get #ERROR associated with the above variable. This is because the peristent value in the prompt has been "re-loaded" in the format "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss a".
    The only way I have found to resolve this is to refresh the report and reselect a date which makes the persistent prompt kind of useless if you close the report.
    Any suggestions on solving this would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sharon

    Sharon,
    The problem comes when the report is saved and then reopened for modifying.
    When opening the report in something other than modify, does the problem also occur?  I too have noticed different behavior with persistent date prompts and whether running in modify or Infoview modes.  Most deployments do not give their users the ability to run a public report in modify mode (though, possibly they could copy it to their own Favorites and run it in modify mode there).  So perhaps this "problem" is by design and is resolved by running the report in the more common Infoview mode?
    Thanks,
    John

  • Report Output Changed when Executed in Background

    Hi Guys,
    I have generated a report,which when executed online displays
    four records.
    But when i am executing the same report in background by generating a spool,my output is changed,such as third record is missing and i am getting only three records.
    In the place of the third record an empty line is displayed.
    whats the reason for it?
    Can anyone help me in this regard.

    Hey Aparna,
    I have a report which has more than 400 characters in width. When I execute the report in background, I dont have a printing format of more than 255 characters. Therefore the generated spool has only 255 characters.
    How can I get the complete spool? Is there a way to define printing format or any other T-Code to print the generated spool?
    Regards,
    Anosh

  • ICP Alerting report format change required

    Hi Guys,
    I want to know can we change the format of report that is generated while sending ICP alerts from ICT Reporting.
    Actually, By default the combination selected in report is added in the generated report and that is sent to the concern users.
    I want to include the value on that combination that comes when we run the report.
    Can we include Value in that report log that is generated and sent to the users.
    Please give your suggestions on this..

    there is no way to customise the format of email alerts in HFM.
    the content of email alerts is hard coded in the HFM software code.
    this would be an enhancement.
