Hello,
Your probably going to have to edit the xslt to get the result either by stripping out the comma or by setting that column to explicitly align the way you want it.

Square boxes instead of Japanese characters in pdf output of a crystal rep

Hi All,
Did anyone of you ever faced such an issue, where the pdf output of a crystal report shows square boxes instead of Japanese characters when the output is saved in pdf. However the crystal report output looks perfect. I have saved the ouput in xls and rtf formats the characters look perfect as required, the issue we have is when the output is saved as pdf.
I have language pack installed on my machine.
My guess is that the few Character's width is not sufficient and few Characters in other fields appear perfect in pdf. I have to test this, it might take few days before I can access this report. Before that I want to gather information. If anyone has solution to this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you
Thanks,

Adding Hyperlinks in Report shuould take action in PDF Output

Hi All,
I had a requirement with reports
Explanation of the requirement.
I had a report aaa.rdf which gives a (one)employee monthly details.
which need to be output in PDF.
now the requuirement is
I had added labels "next-month" and "previous-month" labels at either side of report title.
I need the code to kept in these labels such that when this report is executed and taken into PDF file, when user
user clicks on the "next-month" or "previous-month" in that PDF file, the action to take is it should re-ran the same report(aaa.rdf) and should display the output in PDF in the same window but now the output should show the
coressponding next-month or previous-month results respectively of that employee.
please let me know if this make sense.
please guide for the above requirement.
this is very very urgent your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
it is not too late ....
It's possible to add such Hyperlinks to the pdf-Output of a report.
With use of the built-in rw.set_hyperlink('hyperlink') in a format trigge you can realize that. "hyperlink" is for example then something like:
'/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=pdf&report=drilldetail.jsp&userid=scott/tiger@josi&p_deptno='||:deptno
In your case it's a call to the same report you run before and you had to set your month-parameter in the call depending your current month (next or previous).
With srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('string') it's possible to add additional attributes like for example
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_new')
which opens a new browser window.
This works for HTML & PDF.

Same report on two instances but PDF output in different fonts

I would appreciate that Report developer with no Apps experience also read this problem.
We have 2 running APPS11i environments.
One production, up and running at the customer.
One development , up and running at our site, develop department.
We developed some reports (rdf's) in Reports 6i Builder.
These reports are known in Oracle Applications by placing the reports in the <OUR_TOP>\11.5.0\reports\US directory
and of course as concurrent programs in Apps11i.
The Requests are submitted by using FND_REQUEST package in our custom application, this works ok.
On BOTH environments the reports are printed with expected font (=Arial) and layout.The concurrent programs have output information set: format (postscript), style and printer.
Secondly we defined another set of concurrent programs, almost the same as the above con.programs mentioned.
Except with this difference that the output information set is format (PDF) and printer is empty (print flag is off).
ONLY on our development site adobe acrobat reader is launched with the expected fonts (arial). SO DEVELOPMENT IS OKAY for us.
On our production site acrobat reader is launched, but the used font is not Arial, instead a font Devicefont10cpi is used.
But these Arial fonts are in the fonts direcory (by looking in control panel | fonts).
When we run the reports stand-alone (reports builder or rwrun60.exe in a DOS box) on the production environment the pdf outputs are created okay with the correct font.
What could we have been forgotten when deploying the reports on production?
In other words what could be responsible for running reports in APPS11i in ignoring the builder defined font.

Handling Non English language characters in PDF output

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherein we have to display an existing Smartform output in a PDF format.
We have used OTF to PDF conversion and displayed the PDF output in a container.
The issue is if certain characters are of non english language then the PDF is displaying these characters as special symbols.
The following string is getting dispalyed in the SmartForm as follows:
ОРЕНБУРГАВТОРЕМСЕРВИС_
The same string is displayed as follows in the PDF form :
Any pointers on how to handle such cases would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
regards
Chaitanya

Before calling the smartform, use the FM 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE' and get the device type based on the language.
For eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
    EXPORTING
      i_language = l_langu
    IMPORTING
      e_devtype = lwa_output_options-tdprinter.
Then you need to build the other control parameters like this:
Build control parameters.
lwa_control_parameters-getotf = c_charx.
lwa_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
lwa_control_parameters-preview = ''.
lwa_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_charx.
lwa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
Pass this lwa_output_options & lwa_control_parameters to output_options & control_parameters respectively in the Smartform FM.
This should ideally solve this issue.

Amirth

Problems with image on PDF output.

In my report, I inserted an image (.jpg format) in the margin section. The background of the image is white. In Oracle Reports Builder, the image was just fine. However, when generating the PDF output, it seems like the image in PDF was mixed with another color, or the background color has been changed. Why?
Due to confidential information, I cannot provide the screenshot here.

Appears to be a case of exceeding the original 100% w/h of the images.
Generally the images should be 'prepped' in size (to match the quality when zoomed). So the starting size of the images/icons on the stage should be scaled smaller - then the zoom will factor to the original size. I hope that made some sense.

Problems viewing concurrent request pdf output on mac os

Please your advice on this will be much appreciated.
A user can run a c.request and view the pdf output on windows without problems. When she uses mac, she is able to run the request successfully but gets error if she click on the link to see the output. Are there any parameters etc to be changed to use mac os?
Thanks

Greek characters in PDF output

Hello All,
We are running on 11.5.10.2. We have recently converted to WE8MSWIN1252 charset. After that reports server is crashing with below error when even we try to run a PDF report.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - The Reports Server Engine terminated abnormally
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply.
We are on Linux (RHEL 5 OS).
We have migrated from US7ASCII to WE8MSWIN1252 charset. Autoconfig completed sucessfully.
I have tested other reports as well like simple active users report, it was failing with signal 11 error. As per note 396336.1, I have updated Tk2Motif.rgb file as follows:
Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-2=WE8MSWIN1252.
Ater the above change, active users PDF report output was fine, there were no more signal 11 errors. But original issue of displaying PDF from Quote (OAF, Quote Printing functionality) module was having issue. Its showing fonts in Symbol/Greek language.

Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.
PROCEDURE OPEN_PDF(vFile IN VARCHAR2)

vcServerApp varchar2(40);
vcServerTag varchar2(600);

Report is showing extra lines in output

Hi,
I have a Account Receiving Report. My problem is that in report i have 2 radio buttons..First is for Base Line date and Second for Due date. When i execute the report from both the options, data is coming same.. Means in Due Date column, date is coming after the curent date (ex. today is 08-07-2009 and due date is showing 05-08-2009 also).. but i want that date should be less that current date... for that i code few line i.e. (see in BOLD)
    IF bsdtflag EQ 'X'.
      ntage = dd_stida - rtab-zfbdt.
    ELSE.
      ntage = dd_stida - faede-netdt .
      IF faede-netdt > sy-datum.
        DELETE rtab.
        CLEAR rtab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
It works in Due date option, but now problem is coming that where is the data showing, above that data, 2 rows showing... means 2 rows are that, that dates are greater than current date.. these rows are totally blank showing but in due date column date is showing (i.e 05-08-2009)...
I don't want to show that rows...please tell me how can i do that...

Problem displaying characters from pdf file in Preview.app

Hi,
I hope someone can help with this problem.
I have some issues with the display of pdf files on OSX. The problems are with ligatures like 'fl' which Preview.app displays incorrectly as 'oeu'. There are other symbols which Preview also displays incorrectly.
This problem is not affected by cleaning the font cache and as far as I can tell all the fonts are present and correct. I am guessing the problem has something to do with Preview finding a different version of the Times or TimesRoman font than Adobe Reader uses, and so it gets the wrong symbol, but I'm not sure.
How can I ensure that Preview uses the same fonts as Adobe Reader? and how can I get Preview to render my pdf's correctly?
Here is a sample of the problem with Preview.app (4.1):
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3456/33599073294296beb1a8m.jpg!
and with Adobe Reader (9.0.0)- correctly rendered:
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3448/335990717548aa12e576m.jpg!

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Garbage characters on PDF output

My PDF documents converted from Word sometimes have a short bit of garbage characters just about the TOC. Not everyone sees the characters on the document. It only is visible to a few individuals.
See the attached. Is there a setting that needs attention....?
thanks

Hi Bill, thanks for checking in. I have been creating the PDF documents by right-clicking on the Word doc in Windows Explorer (Office 2010) and creating a PDF. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended v. 9.0.0. Not everyone sees the characters so perhaps it has something to do with the version of Adobe PDF reader they are using? Maybe the reader is more advanced than my version of Acrobat?

Problem in reading a PDF output file using URL and HttpURLConnection class

When i am reading a PDF file generated from a given URL, I am getting the response code as 200 but the content length is -1. Can anyone tell me what will be the problem and solution to this.

form the api of the URLConnection
the content length of the resource that this connection's URL references, or -1 if the content length is not known.
Can anyone tell me what will be the problem and solution to this.The problem is that the server does not send the content length.
Solution is to read the whole stream until -1 is returned.

Oracle Report, How to Display Polish Characters in a PDF Output

Environment :
Oracle Application Server version 10.1.2.0.2 on Red Hat 4 Enterprise (Kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3 , 32 bit) Oracle Database Version 10.2.0.3.0 Our character set of database is UTF8
I have trouble to display polish characters in Reports Output. We develop on Windows XP machines. I can see the Polish Caharacters in the Reports Builder using several fonts (arial, arial unicode, Times new roman, verdana...) during design time or when running with the paper layout. But when the report deployed to application server running on the linux, the polish characters are replaced by symbols.
Even under Windows, when I select 'generate to a PDF' file option, the characters are not displayed correctly (When I open the generated PDF file with Acrobat reader and go to Document Properties / Fonts, I see the Fonts are always replaced with Adobe Sans MM)
Using the Forms Applications running on the same application server we have no trouble dealing/displaying with the characters (Ąą ĆćĘę Ł ł ŃńÓóŚ ś Ź ź Ż ż ß Đ đ € )
NLS_LANG setting is AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 on the Linux Box and AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1250 is on the Development machines. (have tried a number of different NLS_LANG settings on the development box as well with no luck).
Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi,
You have several different approaches to fix this problem. First of all, you would be able to generate the PDF output with Font Subsetting setup and be able to see the Polish characters correctly when running the output with destype=cache&desformat=pdf. The following metalink documents would guide you with this setup :
Note.207711.1 "How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i and 10g for PDF Output"
As at design time you use many different Windows specific fonts, I also advice you to check the following document :
Note.356221.1 "A Practical Methodology on Porting Reports from Windows to Unix with Different Fonts"
Once the PDF output is generated properly with correct characters, then if you need to use "destype=printer" for direct print, rather than "destype=cache" to display the output in browser, then you can use the "PDFPrint" pluggable destination, which is located in :
