Report with Arabic Data - Export to PDF

Hi,
I am using crystal report 2008 ( version: 12.0.0.683), The database is SQL Server 2005, connected to the database using OLE DB.
Most of my data are in ARABIC language including Tashkeelia (تنوين, Means dots, arabic formatting letters by pressing shift Key).
I can View all the data including these formatting letters by previewing or even from the application. Everything ok.
But when I export these reports to PDF by using Crystal report export engine, some additional letters are appearing in the report, and mostly spaces are converted to other letters. If I am exporting by using ADOBE PDF writter ( Printer version) all are OK.
Please tell me how can solve this issue ? 
Regards,
Riyas

Hello Riyas
From your description I am not sure if this happening in the Crystal Reports designer, or from a .NET app (this forums is for .NET apps). In any case. The first thing you want to do is ensure you have the latest fixes for CR 2008. Service Pack 2 is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Then, apply Fix Pack 2.4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100001024152010E/cr2008_fp24.zip
This will get yo the latest updates. If that does not help and the issue is in the CR designer, please post your query to the Report Design forum;

  • Crystal reports 2008 Arabic content export to PDF issue with JRC

    hi there,
    I am using JRC  for our JAVA application, The report contains of partial Arabic & Englishand while viewing report arabic text is shown correct. While exporting to PDF, the arabic content  was reversed (reversed characterwise).
    If I call from BO server and then exporting to pdf is fine. Only the problem is when we call the report from local.
    Is there any fix for this issue? Please help.

    No, seems you are the only having this problem.
    Try downloading Process Monitor from www.sysinternals.com and filter on crw32.exe and then export and look in the logs to see if any permissions are denied or missing dependencies.
    Be sure you are a local PC Administrator when installing also.
    Thank you

  • CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

    I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
    From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
    This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:

    Also, I downloaded [CR Viewer 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/] and can see the CR reports I've created with embedded Xcelsius swfs.
    Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

    > ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
    True. It says:
    > Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
    But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
    It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
    I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Arabic data export to PDF from Business Object 6.5

    I have Arabic data in oracle 10g database.
    In Business Objects 6.5 report, am able to see the Arabic data as well.
    When I save the BO report as PDF, the report data in arabic appears as ?????
    I serached all the documentation and scoured the web, but could not get much info.
    How can I get to display the Arabic data in PDF format as well?

    Hi!
    PDF uses its proprietary fonts to generate and display the text and it displays ???? for the character which its unable to interpret from the available fonts directory. You may need to buy some language plugins from Acrobat and integrate it with you Reports Server, to enable your PDF to display Arabic Character. I had a similar problem with Barcodes dislay in PDF.

  • Report with Summary & Detail - Exporting to PDF in Crystal Report

    Hi,
    I am using Crystal Reports XI (release 2). I am trying out a report with Summary and Detail sections.
    Requirement:
    1.     Report should display both Summary and Detail Sections
    2.     Summary section should be displayed first followed by Detail Section
    3.     A field in summary section should have a hyperlink to Detail Section
    4.     On clicking the hyperlink the user should be navigated to the corresponding detail record
    5.     User should be able to download the whole report as a single PDF (i.e., both summary and detail together)
    Implementation in Crystal Report:
    This feature could be implemented using
    a.     Linked On Demand Sub report
    b.     Using Hide (Drill down ok) option
    c.     Hyperlinks
    Issue Faced:
    I used the on demand sub report option. When i clicked on the sub report (hyperlink), the details get displayed. But the details get displayed in separate viewer and hence when we export to PDF both summary and detail are not getting exported together. User has to select each detail report and export to PDF. Is this a limitation in CR XI? - proprietary Crystal Report features, such as drill-down and on-demand subreports, are supported only in the native Crystal Report format. These special features are ignored when exporting a report to a non-Crystal format like pdf.
    Is there any workaround for exporting both the summary and detail (in subreport) as a single PDF file?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Viji.

    Hi
    Hyperlink would not be a solution to what you are asking for.
    If you want to see the records related to a particular employee id by clicking on emp id, you can try the below:
    - Apply a group on employee id on the main report.
    - Insert a subreport with the required fields and place it on the Employee id Group header. You can put a name of the subreport as "Check Employee details" or something else as per requirement and make it a on demand subreport.
    - Link the subreport on Employee id.
    Hope this helps!!!

  • Using Fields in Reports with stored Data

    Hello,
    i like to use fields in Reports with saved Data in it.
    Is this possible ?
    Example:

    Any Idea ?

    Thanx

    You wrote:
    Example:

    You can export a report with saved data and then change the filtering without hitting the DB again. If you are asking if using a flat file as the data source there are multiple ways to do this. Define an ODBC data source to the file and specify the sturcture, or using ADO.NET and a record set, or using XML as the data source. Lots of ways in newer versions of CR. 8.5 was limited so the ODBC example is your best option.
    Or if you are asking how to get the data from the report you can use REadRecords. Not sure if 8.5 has this functionality though. It's way past it's end of life so I can't look.
    You wrote:

    Not supported, 8.5 has no .net assemblies and no RDC, only option would be to use RAS to make changes or reading records so you need to upgrade.

  • How to create a report with survey data

    Hi All,
    I need to create a report with survey data in below format. Can anyone help me how to display the summary in this format.
    Swapna

    Hi Swapna,
    According to your description, you want to create a report with survey data and display the summary.
    Reporting Services is used for rendering the report with data retrieved from datasource. In Reporting Services, we can retrieve data from the datasource then design a report, after the report processed, data is fixed on the report. So it’s not supported
    to have the end users selection and do summary. For your requirement, it’s can’t be achieved currently.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • GL Trial Balance Report with Effective Dates as Parameters

    We have a requirement to show the GL Trial Balance report with Effective dates as Parameters.
    Current Analysis:
    The Journals get updated with corresponding CCID in GL_BALANCES table when the Journal is posted. GL_BALANCE is SOB specific, if the SOB has month as period then the balances in GL_BALANCES would get updated against the month(period).
    To overcome the period problem, we explored the option of using a View based on GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES for 'Posted' Journal Batches of a SOB. We are checking whether the GL_JE_HEADERS.default_effective_date lies between the :p_from_date and :p_to_date which is sent to the Report as a parameter. The above idea does not return expected data when the custom Trial Balance Report is run.

  • Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found". 
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Debbie,
    That's standard.
    It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
    Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
    We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
    If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
    In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
    I hope that clears it up for your.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Performance: How to manage large reports with high data volume

    Hi everybody,
    we actually make some tests on our BO server system, to define limitations and oppertunities. Among other things we constructed a large report with a high data volume (about 250.000 data records).
    When executing the query in SAP Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to display it. In Crystal Reports we rebult the row and column structure of the query. The data retrieval in Crystal Reports Designer last about 9 minutes - even faster as in the query.
    Unfortunately in BO InfoView the report is not displayed. After 30 minutes of loading time we get a timeout error RCIRAS0244.
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.ManagedRASException:
    Cannot open report document. ---
    The request timed out because there has been no reply from the server for 600.000 milliseconds.
    Also a refresh of an report with saved data is not possible.
    Now we are asking us some questions:
    1. Where can we set the timeout for InfoView to a value larger than 30 minutes?
    2. Why is InfoView so slow compared to Crystal Designer? Where is the bottleneck?
    3. Whats the impact of SAP single sign-on compared to Enterprise logon on the performance?
    Thanks for any helps and comments!
    Sebastian

    Hi Ingo,
    thank you for your reply.
    I will check the servers and maybe change the time limits.
    Unfortunately we have a quite slow server system that probably cause this timeout. In CR Designer we have no problems, its really quick. Is it to expect that CR Designer and InfoView have almost the same performance?
    Another nice point: When we execute the query in SAP BEx Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to open it, in Crystal Designer it needs just about 5-6 minutes. We integrated exactly the same fields in the report, which exist in die SAP BEx query.
    What may cause the difference?
    - Exceptions and conditions in the query?
    - Free characteristics in the query?
    - anything else?
    Best regards,
    Sebastian

  • BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

    Hi -
    We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
    I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
    What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
    1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
    2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
    Thanks ;)

  • Exporting Crystal Reports with embedded Xcelsius content to PDF

    Hi,
    I have a crystal report with an embedded xcelsius chart. I would like to schedule this report using Crystal Server 2008, sending it monthly as a PDF file attached to an email. But after exporting the report through Crystal Server, the xceslsius content is just blank. Shouldn't this be working?

    What is the version of Adobe Reader? Adobe Reader 9 should be there.Also check whether you have Flash Palyer/ flash Active X control installed.
    If you can view the dashboard after exporting it to PPT,it means you have Flash Player installed. You need to try with Adobe Reader 9.
