RTF format

Hi,
When I run a report giving desformat=RTF , in a URL . it gives DR Watson error .
I need to generate the output in RTF format but am unable to .
Any suggetions how to do so
Thanks

Alka,
You don't mention which version of Reports you are using, but this is an issue in which we actually need a printer assigned to the default system user running the reports server. Here is a quick fix that should work for you.
In your registery entry Check for "My computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" Under this check for the Key 'device'.
This Key ideally should be pointing to the default printer for the system.
You can enter the 'device' Key value as of the default printer of the system.
For the correct system value of the default printer you can go to
"My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers" and copy the String value for 'DeviceOld' to that location.
I have not tested it, but in patch6 we removed this dependency. You can obtain the patch from metalink.

    Hi,
    We have one XML Publisher report, the output of report in RTF format is not getting displayed in Full Page in normal way (MS Word -->View menu --> Print layout) but we can see full page display when we do MS Word -->View menu --> Outline.
    Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
    Is this a template issue or any profiles needs to be set.

  • Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

    Hi all,
    When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
    If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
    We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
    When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
    The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
    Has anybody come across the same?

    Hakan

    Hi alka,
    To invoke Word automatically, use command
    line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
    DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
    This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
    =test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
    destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
    1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
    choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
    Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
    (MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
    option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
    different machines.

  • Wordpad object in rtf format - XML publisher

    We are trying to insert a Wordpad OLE object(Printer Signature Escape code Sequence) in the xml template and trying to generate the xml report in rtf format. When we generate the report or preview in rtf format the inserted Object Contents are not displaying. Any one faced this issue in xml publisher.
    This is what I did.
    1.Open the XML template. In Word under Insert option Selected Object . Select the object type as Word Pad Object(In Create new Tab). Type somethinng.. I typed this as printer escapecode sequence ~(4B~(s1p53v0s
    2.Loaded the XML data and tried to preview in RTF format the Object disappears and nothing displays in the place of Obejct.
    When I preview in PDF format this displays. but PDF format is not supported by our troy printer.
    This is we are doing to get the signature with printer escape code. It would be great if any one have any alternatives?. They are not going to give the Signature as an image.

    This is the General XML forum.
    The homepage description says :
    Discussion of the general XML language, standards (XSLT, XQuery, XMLSchema, etc.) and application management issues, suggestions and tips.

  • Initial-page-number not working in RTF format output

    A report has a parameter for the page number to start with. In rtf template below code is present
    <?initial-page-number:xdoxslt:ifelse(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM!=’’,number(P_FIRST_PAGE_NUM),1)?>
    The report page number starts with the value which we pass in p_first_page_num in PDF format but in rtf format output it always starts with 1.
    Is initial-page-number not supported in RTF format output ? If not then what is the alternative?

    the method u followed is fine as need a page number staring from a specify value which u input.
    @section is only for resetting page number to 1 for every group and for that pdf and ppt will be fine but only for rtf u need to use that ( pressing F9).
    u can use @section and initial page number combined but they give u same output as get now. rtf output wont support it will only reset 1 every time
    What ever u do rtf output wont support initial page number code ..........
    i mentioned that F9 work around to mention that it is the only work around u have upto now to control rtf output with regards to page number.
    Guru's correct me if i am wrong. wait for a day or two if some one from guru's confirm it .
    If u need real confirmation raise an SR oracle will let u know .

  • Hyperlink error : on Exporting crystal report to Editable RTF format

    Hi , In my crystal report I have hyperlink which works normally. Now when I export this report to Editable RTF format; the hyperlink gives error "Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. "
    It works for other formats.
    Please help

    This issue was patched for Crystal Reports XI R1
    Hot Fix Name: commonXIwin_chf.zip
    Adapt Number-ADAPT00408450
    Description:
    When exporting a report with email hyperlink to editable RTF format,
    the links do not work.
    New Behavior:
    This is now resolved.
    Here is a link to the hotfix:

    If you are using XI R2 and are still encountering this, then please check that you have installed the latest service pack (SP3) - and if the issue still occurs, then this may need to be tracked as a bug again.  However my understanding is that this was fixed for R2

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

    HP Officejet Pro  8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
    The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
    specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
    unable to save the file to the specified location'.  It will save a regular PDF file
    or a  JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
    results in the above mentioned system error.
    This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
    The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
    loaded.

    Hello TrailsEnd,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
    First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
    Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
    Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
    Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
    Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software. 
    Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Output in RTF format

    does HTMLDB provide any option for displaying the data in RTF format? I have a PLSQL procedure that creates a HTML report on the fly. Now I am planning to generate XSLFO output and use FOP to create RTF document from this XSLFO output.
    Is there any option in HTMLDB that simplifies this task?
    thanks in advance,
    Aravind

    Hi Aravind,
    I don’t think there is any help in HTMLDB for this. There is this technical note: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_htmldb_fop.html I don’t really like this approach.
    You should consider using XML Publisher. It’s a “new” Oracle product that is easy to use and really works! Actually it’s an Oracle Application product that is now standalone. It’s much faster to use than making the xslt manually. You can make the templates in Word. We have a project where we don’t make any templates. The customers make their own on each site.
    There of cause is a licensing issue. Depending on you setup it can be expensive.
    Check:

    You can download it from Oracle eDelivery:

  • Report in RTF format not displaying

  • Sending a smartform output as an attachment in RTF format via E-mail

    Hi all,
         I have a scenario in which the output displayed using smartforms is to be sent as a e-mail attachment. Also, the attachment should be a word doc(RTF format). Can you please me with this.
    Warm Regards,
    Abhijeet

    HI,
    See the call to function 'LF_FM_NAME' in standard print program <b>RLB_INVOICE</b>. Notice the preceding call to function WFMC_PREPARE_SMART_FORM? This function does the heavy lifting for you; here, no additional work is needed in either the form or the print program. To generate e-mail output.

  • How do you extract attachments from an emails in RTF-Format

    When ever the XI receives an eMail in RTF-Format the XI can not extract the eMail-attachment. Does someone have the same problem? Is there a solution?
    Thanks

    RTF is a proprietary format of Microsoft and therfore cannot processed by the XI mail adapter.
    Make sure that the sender of the mail only send plain text or XML.

  • RTF Format doesn't display correctly on certains computers

    Hi,
    Entourage was my regular email program so far. I've been trying for a while Mail and it pleases me. However, there seems to be a bug. Since I need to send formatted emails (essentially italic, bold), I use the RTF format. Lots of my clients (who are using mainly Outllook on PCs) complain about character replacements (I write in French). All the accented characters are changed for diachretic ones. I had not this problem with Entourage.
    The Message encoding appears to be available only when composing a message, which is annoying.
    What can I do?
    Guy

    There are tonnes of possibilities and many websites with suggestions. I tried all sorts of these option (clear cache, clear cookies, anti-virus changes, page style options etc) with no success until eventually I accidentally changed my character encoding autodetect (firefox 6) from "off" to "universal" and everything is fine.

    Hi Mohit
    CR 8.5, being about 15 years old, does not support Windows 7. I am surprised this works for you with MS Office 2010 and to be honest, I'd consider my self lucky there. The fact that is does not work with office 2013... well, like I said, lucky with Office 2010 and your luck ran out with Office 2013.
    Your option; rewrite the app in VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 and use the CR Assemblies for VS .NET from SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET. The CR Java SDK would be another option.
