Restricting Export options to PDF

All,
We are hosting crystal reports in BO XI R3, it works fine, but can we restrect the export options to PDF ONLY. It is allowing to export to all formats. (FTF, EXCEL, PDF, RPT, etc..).
How to achive export to PDF only.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat

Exports may be restricted by creating a role and modifying the rights included with that role. You can include the "Save as PDF" entitlement while restricting the other export options through the CMC. The users must then be assigned to this role.

how shoul i hide pdf in export option in reportviewer

Hi,
This is the code which is used for ReportViewer 2008 and i need code for ReportViewer 2010. I don't want to change in the reportserver's RSReportSErver.Config
file because same report server we are using for different projects where in some projects we require pdf and some we do not. Below is the code for reportviwer 2008 where the export button is rendered as a dropdown and in reportviwer 2010, Export button is
redered as div element and all the export options like pdf,word,etc elements are rendered as div elements . So in code behind how can i access these export button options?

Hi,
Thank you for this article.
I am using the localreport ReportViewer 2010 and other code examples weren't working.
Apparently, the m_isVisible field was not available in earlier version of ReportViewer
info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_isVisible", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic); info.SetValue(extension, false);
Code that wasn't working:
FieldInfo info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_serverExtension", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance); if (info != null) { object actualExtension = info.GetValue(extension); if (actualExtension != null) { PropertyInfo propInfo = actualExtension.GetType().GetProperty("Visible"); if (propInfo != null && propInfo.CanWrite) { propInfo.SetValue(actualExtension, false, null); } } }
Thanks again, chupaul :)

Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
I have MSWord 2010.

Hi Kelly,

When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

Why can I not select the transparency flattener preset option when exporting to a pdf?

Hi all,
I have not had to use this option in quite a while so may have forgotten a few things.
In InDesign, under Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have created a new preset and included the option of converting all text to outlines.
However, when I try to export to a PDF, the option to select a transparency flattener preset is greyed out.
Can you tell me what I may be doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!:(
(There was originally no transparency in the file, so I created some with a white square set to 0.5% opacity).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Christine

DesignerDave72,
Thank you SO MUCH!!
I have been battling with this for over an hour...and it was frustrating me no end. 1 minute into reading the article you suggested and I was home free!! THANK YOU...!! You're my hero!
Best regards,
Christine

My Indesign CC doesn't show any export options, defaults to PDF.

When I go to export a document, there is no longer a drop-down bar with export options. I can save as a PDF, but not as an IDML or anything else. What am I missing?

Version of InDesign? Computer platform?
Try restoring your InDesign preferences:

Where can I find explanations for all the export options?

[ Re-posting this from the iPhoto & iDVD branches ]
When I export a slideshow in iPhoto 9, choose 'Custom export' and then hit the 'Options' button, a dialog pops up with Video & Sounds options that can further be explored. In the Video section, I can click on the 'Settings' button, amongst others, to reveal lots of things that can be tweaked (Compressor Type, Motion, Data Rate & Compressor).
Where can I find help and explanations of what all these settings do, when to change them, why they should be changed, to what values and what effects these all have on the overall output?
Apple has a user manual for FCE4 on their web-site and I recognise some of these iPhoto slideshow export settings from similar dialog boxes from within FCE4. Does a user manual for iPhoto 9 exist also? I can't find it on Apple's web-site.
It has been suggested to me that these are all standard QT settings/options - hence the re-post to this forum.

It's always been up to each user to find all of the "hidden gems" in any OS software. Most of us experiment, test, try, fail and try again with all the options. Along the way we learn what works, what doesn't. I've played, poked and prodded QuickTime Pro for the last ten years and even wrote a "book" about it. I have over 200 bookmarks to resources and links that help me sort things out.
Onto some answers:
1. on your list is actually a three part question. Since you probably can't burn a true "HD" DVD we'll leave that part out.
You can easily "share" your iPhoto files with iDVD and burn in SD 16:9 format. You need to learn nothing about the compression options as iDVD will do all of the work. The Web based file formats (from the same source file) are an easy "trick" in QuickTime Pro.
QuickTime Pro includes an export option "Export for Web" that will make up to 4 "versions" of your source file and even write the html code for you to copy/paste into your Web pages. It creates up to 4 versions (iPhone, iPod, Desktop and cell phone) with just one export and writes html page code that can "read" your connected visitors "speed" to serve up just the right file for the device.
Your number 2 question is answered by your SD DVD media device. Can't make a sow's ear into a silk purse. But you could use QuickTime Pro export options to create a "true" HD file and display it on your HD TV. If your HD TV includes HDMI connections (and all should) you could either connect your camera directly to the TV (via cables) to display the "raw" video captures or use iTunes (free) application to export HD video to an appliance like Apple TV.
My "book" (a downloadable PDF) does include an explanation about nearly all of the QuickTime available codecs but it's probably not needed for your particular workflow. The built-in preset exports are all you probably need to use.
Compression type = file format (AVI, MP3, MOV, etc.).
Motion = frame rate allows you to change the source frame rate to meet the restrictions of your delivery media (nearly always adjusted to reduce file size for Web delivery). E.G source is 30 fps and delivery is 15 fps (reduces file size).
Key frames = "special" frames of the video that either "predict" or "optimize" for the delivery media format. The Export for Web feature of QuickTime Pro defaults should be all you need.
Quality slider = is "optional" but usually defaults to "medium". In most cases this is best left at the default setting.
Dimensions = file size dimensions. Well crafted, H.264 video codec QuickTime files will look very good when displayed at up to twice the file export dimension. This means you can display a Web based 640X480 file at "Full Screen" size (display resolution) without much degradation of video quality. Older codecs will not look as good when doubled in size.
Preserve Aspect ratio = just what it says. Widescreen source = widescreen display.
De-interlace source = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinterlacing
Hope this helps you sort things out.
Data rate = the amount of compression (data limit)

Problems in Limiting Export option in Web Analysis shortcut menu options

Hi everyone,
i'm trying to limit the shortcut menù option in Web Analysis studio following the instructions in the WA 9.3.1 user guide: "Limiting Web Analysis Studio Shortcut Menu Options" page 293. Exactly i would hyde the Export to some users (an user with Viewer and Expoler permissions).
The problem is that the solution does not work.
Resuming:
First, I have created the WAMenu.xml file, with restrictions for the roles: Viewer and Explorer (using the same tags of the Sample XML File in the guide)
Second, I have modified the WebAnalysis.properties file removing the # ahead this two lines:
"WAStudioMenuControl= C:/Hyperion/Analyzer/conf/WAMenu.xml
ModuleName=WebAnalysisStudio"
and modified the path with the correct location of the XML file.
At last, i have restart the services regarding Workspace and Web Analysis.
But, it does not work. The user can still see the export options in the shortcut menu..I don't understand what is wrong..
I really hope that someone can help me!!

Hi Iain,
thanks for answering.
Unfortunately it doesn't restrict neither in the workspace nor in the WA studio.
I made a lot of attempts, not only with export but also with other option, and there are no changes!!
Do you remember if you made the same steps descripted above, or there is something that i did not make (or made wrong)??
Cheers,
Angelo

IllegalArgumentException error while exporting report in PDF format

Hello Andrea.
I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering. There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
=============================================
Symptom
Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
Environment
Windows 2003
Apache Tomcat 5.0
Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
Reproducing the Issue
Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
Cause
When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
Resolution
Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
=============================================
Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
I hope that this helps.
Regards.

Oracle Discoverer - Export report as PDF

Using Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.1 with Adobe 7 installed. We do not see an option to export as a PDF file. It was my understanding this should be an option. Is there a way to add PDF as an export option?

Hi,
You cannot export to PDF from Discoverer Desktop, however, you can use Discoverer to print to the Adobe PDF Converter print device which will generate the Discoverer report in PDF format.

Export options in Voyager

I created Voyager documents for my cubes. The tool is great in terms of its ability to report data from the multiple measures and dimensions. When it comes to Export options - The export to excel is pretty clean, but it doesn't carry the formatting to the exported file. This feature is something that our users really felt was missing. Can this feature be released as a patch or part of a service pack release? Also, the export doesn't carry the title of the report to excel or PDF (print to PDF - Data).
Thanks in Advance!!
Harish

To confirm: Column formatting like display -> Name:Caption .. .. is not being exported to excel
please refer to Note # 1345585
this behaviour will be enhanced in XI3.0 Sp3 - due end 2009.

Export Report to PDF after user has entered parameters

Hi All,
I have a problem exporting a report to PDF using "ReportExportControl" after a user has entered parameters, instead of showing the download prompt, it displays the report using the parameters as if it was using "CrystalReportViewer"
If I program the input fields using "ParameterFieldController" then the exporter works as expected.
Is there anything in particular needed in order to export a report with user inputted parameters?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi Ted, thanks for your reply,
What I am seeing at the moment is as follows
The report requires parameters from the user in order to generate the report, and a webpage asking the user to inputs is shown, the same one that is shown by "CrystalReportViewer" function, once the user has inputted the parameters they click the "OK" button and the report generates on screen, using the parameters entered, behaving like "CrystalReportViewer" function, what I need is once the user click "OK" it will prompt for download as attachment, which is not happening.
For your suggestion, I already have that coded and its still not working, Please find my code attached
// Create a exporter object
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
exportControl.setReportSource(clientDoc.getReportSource());
// Exporter Options
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
// Process the http request to export the report
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
// Dispose of the exporter object
exportControl.dispose();
with the above code the report will display on screen, but if i include this before the code
//Use the ParameterFieldController to pass parameter values to the report
ParameterFieldController paramController;
paramController = clientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramController.setCurrentValue("", "Parameter name", Val);
the report doesnt show the input screen and generates as attachment
Hope this makes my situation abit clearer
Thanks and regards
Michael

Export from Acrobat PDF to HTML

Is there any reliable way to export an Acrobat PDF file to HTML uising Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When I try to do it from Acrobat, I get:
Tables that are a total, horrendous mess, nothing at all like the tables in the original Pdf.
Text that is randomly surrounded, for no apparrent reason, with span tags and completely worthless CSS. A single, uninterrupted sentence can have four or five spans, all with different CSS classes for no apparent reason. When you look at the four or five CSS classes, they all have the same, identical style attributes.
Exporting it to RTF results in a mess that is no less horrendous.
What I'm trying to do is take some rather lengthy PDFs (200 pages or more each) and use them as input to a RoboHelp WebHelp project. However, the output, whether I try an import into RoboHelp, an export from Acrobat Professional Extended, or one of several third party PDF converters is all so horrendous that it would be easier to completely retype the the 200 pages times sixteen or so documents than to attempt to cleanup the horrendous mess that results from an Acrobat export.
Why can't Adobe get their products to work together? At this pont, I've just about reached the conclusion that it is very clear that nother should ever, for any reason, under any circumstances be converted to PDF unlesss you absolutely have the documents in the original format locked up someplace because you can never get anything meaningful and transportable out of Acrobat. Please tell me that, in this day and time, the Acrobat PDF files can actually be converted in a meaningful way.

That's very true. However, you can create RTF documents with Word and WordPerfect and in this day and time, virtually everyone can read those, while they are ultimately transportable to a whole wide variety of formats, including HTML, without any significant degradation. If Adobe can't make PDFs transportable between document types in the same way, why on earth would anyone ever use the PDF format. All this hoopla about embedding video, sound, etc. is pretty much nonsense. You can pretty much do that in RTF, and few if any actually want to do it anyway.
All I can say is, why does Adobe advertise that you can export to file types such as HTML and RTF from Acrobat PDFs when you obviously can't. Why do they include the options on their menus. This is obviously a case of false and misleading advertisement. This is the day and time of transportable documents. Adobe has chosen to make Acrobat Pro an anachronistic and archaic dinosaur.
Once again, why create PDFs when they have such limited usefulness.
