Reports 6i Pdf generation problems

Hi,
I am using reports 6i with graphics. when I see the report inside the previewer the vertical tick marks on the X-axis appear fine, but when I generate to PDF the same tick marks appear inverted which can only be seen with the help of a mirror.
I would appreciate any help.
Paras

Paras,
Looks strange and interesting. Hope you have a mirror with you always now.
Well. We have not come across this problem and not been able to reproduce also
You can try generating to a eps file and convert it to PDF using Acrobat distiller and see how it comes out.
You can log a TAR through Oracle metalink if you have a reproducible testcase
Thanks

Help: PDF Generation Problems in Reports 3.0

Hi Techies,
We are generating PDFs from Oracle Reports 3.0
The PDF generation is fine in some datbases.
But in some database,when the records are more, during PDF
generation, Dr.Watson error is encountered, saying access
violation.
Can any one please clarify whether the error is due to memory
constraints on the system or if it has something to do with
Oracle Reports setting, while generating PDFs.
Do note that the reports are running fine, when the report has
less number of records.
Any suggestion/tip is awaited at the earliest.
Thanks in advance,

Hi!
Remove cache from output dir from time time.
(i.e. from virtual dir where report server puts output)
let me know ...

APEX 4.1 - APACHE FOP PDF generation problem.

Hi all,
I'm having problem with PDF generation using APACH FOP on OC4J.
When I test my print server as described here:
http://marcsewtz.blogspot.com/2008/06/heres-another-posting-on-pdf-printing.html
everything works without problem. But when I upload my Layout to APEX and try to generate PDF from apex I'm getting error:
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Unexpected EOF.
     at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrors1(XMLError.java:320)

I could see similar post here:
Handling Special characters in call to apex_util.download_print_document
But it doesn't explain my case as it's crashing even when I generate empty pdf(no data so no special characters, only empty XML file with no data should be sent to print server)
Is there any way to see what xml is sent do print server for processing? That could eventually show where is a problem.
Palo

My mistake, there was really an "&" character in my template. now when I replaced it with %26 it works.
However I would be still interested if there is a way to see what data is APEX engine sending to print server cause it will help me to find this kind of errors.

Pdf generation problem

Hello ,
I have a web application that turn on Websphere 6.1. Since I haven't migrate my windows server from 2000 to 2003, no problem appeared when I try to generate and display my pdf trought my web browser.
But since the migration , the pdf is not displyed in the web browser but i have a pop-up that explains me that the file could not be open by .. my pdf reader because the file seems to have a problem and it ask me if I want to download it , afterr the download the file can be open without any problem.
Any suggestion about this issue ?
Thanks a lot ...
Please find the extract of the code :
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
exportControl.setName("ExportControl");
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(false);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions(); //Set export options and   format.
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF); //Set the format for the export options
exportControl.setExportOptions( exportOptions ); //set the exportOptions to the viewer
    //Obtain report source of the report that the exportControl will display.
    Object reportSource = request.getSession().getAttribute("reportSource");
    exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
    //exportControl.setParameterFields(fields);
     exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
     exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
     exportControl.setOwnPage(true);
     exportControl.setOwnForm(true);
     if (request.getSession().getAttribute("refreshedExport") == null) {
          exportControl.refresh();
          request.getSession().setAttribute("refreshedExport", "true");
    exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);

RH PDF generation problems: wrong (A4) page size and Word 2013

I am trying to generate a review PDF of a handful or topics. It generates, but first I get an error:
(I have Word 2013 installed.)
Then the PDF generates, but it is A4. I never use metric for anything, so where it is picking up A4 I can't imagine. I have all my PDF settings to letter. I checked Edit > Properties > PDF settings > Advanced settings, everything. It's all set correctly. Even all of my Word templates (which I am not using for this project anyway) are letter. Like I said: No metric pages or units of measure used ever. Not in Word, not in FrameMaker, not in Acrobat. Why does RoboHelp default to A4?
And why does it not consider Word 2013 "newer" than Word 2000?

Word 2013 is not supported by any version of Rh. The first part is correct so Rh throws the error message notwithstanding the second part is wrong.
You haven't mentioned the version of Rh you are using (please see the forum sticky topics) but you might find you can right click Properties in the print layout and generate to Word there. Using that route you may find the answer to the A4 issue. I'm puzzled by that as normally Rh defaults to Letter.
Are you using the PDF add-on or a full version of Acrobat, if the latter which one?

PDF generation in SDK

All,
I have some reports, whose PDF generation doesn't satisfy our requirements. A simple BO report page with a few sections.. ends up as a multiple page PDF. I had tried to also use the report/section properties as creatively as possible too.
I would like to get some information about if some-one has done PDF generation using SDK and if that provides more feature-rich formatting options?
Would appreciate your comments and advice.
Regards

Let's start with what version of CR / BO you are working with.
What SPs have you applied?
What version of .NET do you want to work with? What SDK do you want to work with (CR, RAS, BO)?
Are you doing these exports in the CR designer? - If so, have you consulted with the CR Design team on best way to design these reports? Typically, if you can not do something in the desinger, you more than likely can not do it from code either...

Problem to export a report (to PDF) after converting my reports to CR13

I have an old project with reports developped using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1). I want to convert them so I can now use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (with .NET 3.5).
I installed Crystal Reports for VS2010 and I converted my reports to the new format. Unfortunately, one of my reports is not working anymore.
My ASP.NET application generate the report and export it as a PDF. I use CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export().
Everytime I run this method, an exception is thrown...
System.Exception was unhandled by user code
Message=System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80041004):
Mémoire insuffisante pour l'opération.

StackTrace:
I also tried to export the report (using PDF format) at design time with the "Export Report" button in Preview mode. It didn't work. But, I can export the report at design time using another format type (like XML).
The old version of te report (using .NET 1.1, CR9) work fine. As I said, other reports in that same project work perfectly.
Is someone have an idea of what's wrong!
Thanks!
Max.

The most common cause of this problem is having very large detailed images, or lots and lots of images in your report. The Crystal Report engine changed a lot from 9.1 to 13. The big change was from 9.1 to 10 though when we started using the RAS InProc engine.
The Crystal reporting engine is not efficient at handling the images and it can cause memory issues like you are seeing. As a test, try suppressing the images that show up frequently in your report and retry your export. If it works you'll have your answer and you'll need a new creative way to design your report without so many images.

Go to the cache directory and see if you can open the report directly from here (not in IE).
I have seen posts on problems with Acrobat Reader Plugin for IE (I believe it was version 6 of Reader).

Problem in converting reports to PDF format - bug

dear all,
There is a problem in converting the reports in PDF format.
The situation is that if we use the tool bar icon in SAP B1 to get the reports in PDF format, there are printing errors. The output PDF file does not contain the exact data that is in the report, the values are getting interchanged and mismatched.
But if we do the same using the print in the PDF option in choose from printers window as we do regular pringting, the document is printed properly.
what may be the cause for this bug like thing. How can we solve it??
please help me..
thanks and regards,
Yeshwanth Prakash

Shouldn't destype be CACHE?

Crystal Reports PDF Export problem

Hi I'm using Crystal 8.5 for my reports in VB 6.0. We have intrepret as RTF in the report. Now when we export this report to PDF the nested bullets loose formatting. All bullets show up at the same level. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
Sudha

Hello Ingo,
thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
Is there a documentation about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.
Regards,
Katharina

PDF Generation has problems

Hi there,
Our company uses Colffusion to make PDFs for our client.
Recently, the PDF generation is incredible instable, causing
corrupt PDF files or performance issues.
I found out, that the problem lies within the including some
picture. This slows down almost everything or sometimes the
generation does not happen at all.
Is there a solution for this? Is there a hot fix for that?
Thanks for your reply

Try <cfreport> instead of <cfdocument> which give
better results for these type of pdf conversion and image
issues...

PDF generation : FileNotFoundException problem

Hi all,
I'm developing a dynamic PDF generation module in web application using iText framework. This module creates PDF on the server side then sends it to the client. Sometimes, Even though the PDF file is created on the hard disk, I got FileNotFoundException when calling the servlet that sends it.
My program is very simple (no thread used) :
1- The client calls enters some inputs,
2 - The iText based class generates the PDF,
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).
4 - The request is redirected to servlet that sends the PDF.
What could be the problem ?
thx,

In fact, I don't know what you mean by:
3 - The PDF created is saved as an attribute in the client session (HttpSession).What do you mean by this? Did you save the proprietry PDF object? Or the java.io.File object? If it is the PDF object, does its class implement java.io.Serializable?
Um ... Here are some suggestions ...
First of all, make sure that the file really exists there.
Secondly, try to write a Java SE program to read the file using the absolute path you provided.
Then, if the Java SE program works, I think the reason may be that you haven't closed the "OutputStream" which writes the PDF file, or the security settings of your JSPServer prevents you from getting the file.
