Rtf field in sql2008 database doesn't export well to Adobe pdf

In Crystal 11 sp2 and Crystal 2008 sp2 Adobe 7 and Adobe 9
I have a rtf data field in our database and we allow text to be formatted in the application so we want the formatting to stay intact and so we store it as an rtf field.
I put the rtf data field on the report in design mode, right click the field to ensure the text interpretation is rtf. Preview it in Crystal and the formatting stays in tact as does the margins. I run into problems when I try to export this report to a pdf. The text is either truncated (which means that the field was in a left justified) or there is a 1 inch margin difference on the right hand side of the report (which means that the field was in justified)
I have also tried testing this with an html field and had the exact same results.
The strange thing is that I can take this same report and run it in Crystal and export it to Word and then save the Word document as a pdf and that works fine. This leads me to believe that Crystal isn't playing well with pdfs. The work around would be acceptable to me if I was the only one that had to do this and only had to do a report in pdf once a week. But I have people running my reports daily and these reports go out to our customers for them to make a purchase.
Has anyone else ran into this and is there a fix for it?
Thanks!

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

How to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database

Can some one give the code of how to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database
Am really new to java programming and have interest in learning

The standard JDK doesn't do this for you. If you search on Google, you may find some 3rd party packages that will do this.
You need to create your own form add execute the appropriate SQL yourself. Read the tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]JDBC Database Access to get started.

Getting the length of a field in a database.

I have a field in a database that has a char length of 20, is there anyway to get that length from the database.

I probally didn't explain myself properley. The field might not have anything in it. The field would only except a length of 20, some have 10 others 5.
I have a GUI repersenting a table in the database. When the user is inputting into this field I want to stop them from entering more than 20 Characters. I need to know how many characters the field will accept.
I'm trying to stop my client from calling me up and saying that there something rong with the program because when he enters data, it only saves half of it.

Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System

Hi,
I downloaded Extracting Values of a Field from a Database Table in SAP ECC System Using MII 12.0
senario from sdn. I'm trying to do that senario in MII 12.05. But I have problem with section 6 in page 7 (you can supply senario from sdn)
"6- Under the loop of Repeater, use action u2018Rowu2019 to append just the string part of the WA which will display only values for field u2018Batchu2019"
I did not find WA elemen in Output element of Repeater_0
How can I create WA element?
Thanks.

Cemil,
Set up a SAP JCo Interface action block. Use the RFC name RFC_READ_TABLE.
In the link editor map the table to "MARA", set RowCount to something small (20 is good sample size) and create an xml transaction property named FIELDS and copy the following into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><FIELDS>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MATNR</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>MTART</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>BSTME</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>XCHPF</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
      <item>
        <FIELDNAME>DATAB</FIELDNAME>
        <OFFSET/>
        <LENGTH/>
        <TYPE/>
        <FIELDTEXT/>
      </item>
    </FIELDS>
Then link the Transaction.FIELDS to SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/FIELDS}. You may run into problems with two other fields and optionally they can be removed (set link type to remove xml). I usually remove them initially for testing. The two fields are:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/NO_DATA}
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Request{/RFC_READ_TABLE/INPUT/DELIMITER} (or you can set this to something like a semicolon,";" or tilda,"~". I find it easier to caclulate position by length, but that is my own idiosyncrasy.)
Once you get this one working, we can explore how to do filtering on the dataset. Your output should be something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RFC_READ_TABLE>
<INPUT>
    <DELIMITER />
    <NO_DATA />
    <QUERY_TABLE>MARA</QUERY_TABLE>
    <ROWCOUNT>20</ROWCOUNT>
    <ROWSKIPS>0</ROWSKIPS>
</INPUT>

Add a repeater sourced on:
SAP_JCo_Interface_0.Response{/RFC_READ_TABLE/TABLES/DATA/item}
Link your repeater output to a tracer with this:
Repeater_0.Output{/item/WA}
What you will see in each tracer message is a single line of data with all the fields contents concatenated together. You can look up what each field in the string represents by the length of the field as returned in the Response segment of the RFC_READ_TABLE rfc. Then you can parse out the data you are interested in.
Give this a try and let me know how you succeeded.
By the way, I could not find the scenario you referred to. Can you post a link?
Regards,
Mike

To modify a field in a database table based record identification by primar

hi
i want to to modify a field in a database table based record identification by primary key filed and two more fields
ie customer (primary key
i want to modify record from intenal table the record existing with primary key field customer
the status field needs to be mofied as " value rolled"
the below code is happening
loop at it_record into wa_Record
wa_inv-customer (primary key) = wa_Record=custome
wa_inv-date = wa_Record-date
...so one
append wa_inv to it_invest
clear wa_inv
endloop.
if not it_invest is initial
modify TABle1 ( this table is data base table which needs to be mofified) based on the primary key field
and also date field and status field which is not primary key.
regards
arora

Hi there.
Your requirement is to update a Z Database table from your internal table, right? You have several options:
LOOP AT it_invest INTO wa_inv.
UPDATE dbtable
     SET date = wa_inv-date
   WHERE prim_key = wa_inv-prim_key
     AND any_field = wa_inv-any_field.
ENDLOOP.
or
LOOP AT it_invest INTO wa_inv.
UPDATE dbtable FROM wa_inv. "if wa_inv of same type of dbtable
ENDLOOP.
In the first example, I wrote any field because you can update dbase table, filtering for fields that don't belong to the primary key. However, remember that you will change all records that respect the key you used (so, in your case, use the primary key).

How to Find the Data Type of the Field In a Database Table

Hi Experts,
I'm currently working on a program which needs to find out the data type of the given field in a database table. In addition to accessing DD03L directly, is there any other workaround such as function module to help me achieve this? It would be helpful if a demo example could be provided.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Use this..
DESCRIBE FIELD dobj TYPE typ.
write typ.
type will contain the data type of the object.

Urgent, Please help !!! Input Date field in Mysql database using JSP

Hi All,
Please help me ! I am trying to store a date field in MySql databaseusing JSP on Tomcat Server.I am gettting the following error.
I am taking the String Input and then trying to convert it into date type
inorder to store it into date field in a database.
I am using the following code :
<%
try{
String dt=request.getParameter("avldt");
SimpleDateFormat adt= new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Date sqlToday = new java.sql.Date(adt.parse(dt).getTime());
catch(ParseException e){
e.printStackTrace();
%>
But I am getting the following error message :
Class jsp.myjsp.SimpleDateFormat not found.
Please help me !!!.It's very urgent.
Thanks,
Savdeep

programming is more then copy pasting, it actually is usefull to think about what you are doing. First you declare that you date is format dd-MM-yyyy, then you want to parse a date in format dd/MM/yyyy and behold Java warns you it cannot parse the one into the second ! Cant you solve the rest of this puzzle yourself then ?

Movie in Keynote doesn't export properly for QuickTime

Hello all. I really hope someone can help with this. I've used the discussions before with great success so THANK YOU all for sharing your expertise.
I've got a keynote presentation that for the most part exports perfectly on QuickTime. The only part that doesn't export right are the 2 videos I've got on the presentation. I set the timing with the inspectors for it to start automatically and even added a song to play along with the presentation. But when I export it, there is about an extra minute and 15 seconds added to the whole video and I've got the presentation timed perfectly with keynote and the song. I've got iWork '09 and QT 10.0. Not pro just player.
I've played with the custom settings to no avail. Any way to get the videos to export exactly to their lengths?
Cheers

I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for but I'll share my experience. Like you, I have three videos in my presentation. Once I exported it as a QT movie, the delays that I built in with the Inspector to allow the movie to play before the next slide transition, played AFTER the video ran. I went back and just put in a 1.5 second delay in and the videos run fine. I'm guessing that QT sees the video and allows it to play and THEN looks at the Delay setting.
Now if someone can just tell me how to get the audio soundtrack to shut down during my three videos but play during the rest of the presentation...

How to modify or put entry in a particular field of a database table

i want to to modify a field in a database table record identification by primary key fileds
the situatio is like this
there are two primay key in database table
customer number PK
status PK
date
and third field which i want to modify is customer part number.
based on condition that
database table1-cuspip = wa_record-cuspip.
database table1-status <> wa_record-status
and database table-date = wa_record-date
if above is true a particular field the database table for that record
ie customer_part_number = 'FAiled'.
loop at it_record into wa_Record
endloop.
please suggest how to modify the database table record if the avove condition is tru and please give me full working code
regards
Arora

Dear Nishant,
Use UPDATE function for updating the customer part number.
But please do mention the database table and the keys used for update.
if en entry already exists with the key then the Entry will fail so use MODIFY statement to modify the Consumber Part Number with the specificed keys and transport the modified customer part number and then do COMMIT the changed entry to database.
Hope this helps you in some way.
Encourage others to answer you queries by suitably rewarding them.
Thanks

Form Field in word forms to be exported to pdf form

Dear all,
Within our company, all templates for documents are existing in word .doc format and will be edited in word as well.
I would like to add a form field within these word templates which will be recognised by Acrobat 8 Pro automatically as a form field for a digital signature.
I would like to do this within the word form, because I don't want to add the numerous (up to 10) signature fields manually with the Acrobat form
each time I export this file to .pdf.
This is necessary in order to certify a document with a visible signature and to allow more colleagues to sign this document as well after my certification.
Does someone know a workaround or even a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

The auto field wizard does not catch all fields or types of fields (signature is one of them), does not keep exclusionary groups, and does not add the optional values. The wizard can have a hard time recognizing check boxes and radio buttons.
So even after you run the wizard there is a lot of manual clean up to perform. I just find it easier to create the form fields as needed. I also use a lot of field naming for automation processing of groups of fields.
Open Office does not do signature, but it keeps the options for combo/drop downs and radio buttons/check boxes.
