RTF output

I have a text to display if there is no information available. So I put this text outside the repeating frame. When I run the report normally it displays fine. But when I generate the output to rtf, the data as well as the text is displayed and they overlap each other.
Is there any way this can be avoided?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

hello,
this almost looks to me as if your format trigger fails when executed to RTF .. maybe it's an anchoring problem or something. as i understood it, the text should not be displayed when other data is available, however in the RTF case you state that you see it in addition to the other data. hence the format trigger (assuming that's how you show/hide the text) is invalid or for some reason does not work correctly in RTF.
thanks,
ph.

XML Publisher rtf output not consistent with the rtf created

I am using XML publisher to generate a custom report.
The approach I folllowed:
1) AM Class: Write the VO data to XMLNode using vo.writeXML() method
2) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a data template and attach the xml created in step1 as "Preview Data"
3) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a rtf template (contains images and text), attach the data template (step 2) and attach the rtf created.
4) Controller class: Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate() method, passing the rtf template and the XML data from VO.
5) Verify the rtf output in application.
Issues I am having are as follows:
1) Major issue is page format. I have saved my rtf file with a different page format as below:
     File->Page Setup->Paper->Width:255 pt
               ->Height:165 pt
     File->Page Setup->Margins->Top: 12 pt
                    ->Bottom: 0.1 pt
                    ->Left: 0.1 pt
                    ->Right: 12 pt
When I open my document from the application, the margins and page setup rtf output is not retained (as given in teh doc), hence my whole layout is disturbed.
Thus, I am getting a very weird layout when I open my rtf output from application.
How can I retain the page settings?
2) I added a image, and the size of the image also is not retained as well.
And if I set the layout wrapping style anything other than "In line with text", the image does not show up in the output.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can put some light on this.

RTF & PDF output can't be exact same, we can minimize the difference by eliminating all extra spaces(Ex: from table rows, in between form fields etc.) from RTF while generating RTF output.

PDF and RTF output differences

Hi All
I'm having some issues when previewing labels in PDF and RTF output. I have created a RTF template that outputs labels - 5 address lines per label, 2 X 10 labels per page. Each label is contained in a table and each address line is contained in a table row.
- When I preview the RTF output long address lines are not being truncated even though I uncheck the wrap option on the table cell properties.
- When I preview the RTF output I can get 2x10 labels on the page (if no wrapping occurs) but when I preview in PDF I can only get 2x9 labels on the page. I have checked the font size of both the PDF and RTF outputs and they are the same size. It looks like the header and footer is taking up more space on the PDF version compared to the RTF version when I visually inspect the output but I cannot be sure.
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve these issues?
regards
Brad

Always its better to use different templates for individual output types as the template designed with perfection for pdf output type dosen't comply with rtf or any other type and vice versa.
Cheers!

PDF output vs. RTF Output

I have a few form fields in my template which say only display this line if the data exists. When I output the report as PDF the lines with no data are hidden as I'd expect. When I output as RTF the lines are still there.
Also, unticking the 'Allow row to break across pages' tickbox in the table properties prevents table rows from splitting between pages in PDF output, but not in RTF output.
Am I just missing something basic about the difference between what you can do with the two formats? Or do I need to do something else to get the RTF to work as I'd expect.
Thanks,
Ben

Reports 6.0 Portrait vs Landscape in RTF output

I am having difficulty with RTF output in Reports 6.0. The print
preview of a report (with the system parameter orientation =
PORTRAIT)looks fine when previewing or printing from the
runtime, however, when I generate to an rtf file and open the
output in Word the document orientation is landscape and we are
forced to change the page setup for each report before printing
from Word. I am using Word 97 on NT 4.0 with service patch 3.0
and reports 6.0.5.28.0 on an Oracle 7.3.4 database. Can anyone
offer any suggestions?

I have this problem with Reports 3.0 too. It seems that it
has not been solved yet...

Report6 & Patch3: RTF-Output TRUNCATED

Hi,
I'm facing the following problem:
When generating a RTF-report, the rtf output is truncated
when viewed in MS Word97.
The readme.doc (included with the 'patch3' package)
references that kind of problem as follows:
Bugs fixed In REPORTS:
Ver 6_0_5_31_0:
Rptno Subject
927749 RTF OUTPUT TRUNCATES ABOUT 4.5 INCH IN WIDTH
but after installing patch3 (from ftp://oracle-
ftp.oracle.com/dev_tools/patchsets/dev2k/Win95NT/6.0/patch3)
the problem still exists.
A simple report output file looks like this
(the paperw and paperh attributes do not change when changing
the width and height attributes in the
Report Builder Layout Model):
--- rtf file ---
{\rtf\ansi
{\fonttbl{\f1 Courier New}}
{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;}

Which of the three problems mentioned is the
bug? Or is it all of them?
#1 - Could you be more specific about the
margin problem? I haven't had any trouble;
but then I expect a slight (<1/8") variation.
#2 - I think this goes with #3. Since the
Oracle RTF is specifying exact locations of
each text box, modifying the page would mess
that up. But that's a guess. Hmm, I think
I'll try to figure out what in the file is
disabling page setup.
Note that MSWord doesn't like borders around
text boxes - if you save the Oracle RTF from
Word, it ~doubles the text fields but
~quintuples the graphics. For a large file,
eschew and beware graphics as much as you
can. (One of my reports was 78MB _before_
Word got to it, with graphics. With much
reduced graphics, "only" 19MB.)
PDF is all very well as long as you don't
need non-English characters. Our db is
Unicode, and we want to display Cyrillic.
I've managed to convince PDF to do that, but
it wasn't pretty. Oracle RTF doesn't do
Unicode correctly either, but we added a
post-processor to correct it. Voila,
Cyrillic and other non-Latin characters.

RTF output not consistent with the PDF output

Hi Experts.
i would like to know why the code start@last-page works in pdf format but do not works if i generate the report in rtf format.
Thanks in advance!

Nested Tables Repeat Header Row RTF Output Not Working v5.6.2(PDF does)

All,
Has anyone used nested tables in heading rows where they are set to repeat nested table header row across page breaks for RTF output ? This seems to work for PDF generation (line breaking enforcement doesn't) but I don't even get RTF Header ROWS indicated in my RTF output document. I have enabled them in my RTF template for the outer table row plus the inner nested table. Is this possible for RTF output or have I not indicated something in my RTF template or grouping clause ??
Thanks,
Tom

Connected Query no RTF output?

Hi guys...I've just written my 1st Connected Query linking to an RTF report definition. I cannot seem to get any RTF output after the app engine has completed. I have a custom run control that schedules the app engine which has the peoplcode to call and execute the connected query. All I get is an XML file on the Process Monitor View Trace/Log. No RTF output. Help....what am I missing here? Thanks so much for any help!

i think you have run the code to generate the XML file from your connected query...
check the following things
1. Check the Report definition is defined or not for the file that you want generate.
2. if its defined check the RTF template is present or not.
3.Check your code in Appengine whether you have mentioned the Report Definition and template name,

CanSplitImage Rule causing pagination issues while creating RTF output

Hi,
We are facing spacing/pagination issues when we use CanSplitImage rule for RTF output with NoFrames. It splits the section and prints in next page as expected but leaves the remaining page empty/blank and prints the next consecutive sections in the next page(basically the 3rd page).
Any suggestions on the solution based on your experience will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Default font size is different on 1st page of RTF output.

The default font for the blank lines in the body of my rtf output is Arial 12 pt but in the subsequent pages it it Arial 10. I've set the default font in the xdo.cfg file to Arial:10. It's throwing the formatting off. Can someone help?
xdo.cfg file entry:
<property name="rtf-output-default-font">Arial:10</property>

Hello @mgag,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when you print to your HP Officejet 8610e, the output is much larger then what you initially try to print from your Computer running Windows XP.
I would first like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools
-- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Does the PSDR find anything?
If you make a copy from the front panel, does this print fine, or is the text enlarged as well?
Which program or Browser are you printing from?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Creating .RTF output files - PI7.0 Receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue with the Receiver File adapter where in the output files are required to be of the format of .RTF (Rich Text Format).
The scenarios is an outbound proxy from SAP ABAP - > PI 7.0 -> .RTF File
All the data required to be present in the file will be coming in the source structure
Can the File Receiver Adapter handle this ?
Is there a way to generate Files with extension .rtf ??
It is a requriement since the output files will be used as Reports , and so the desired format.
I am unsure if I will have to use XSLT mapping , in this because i am new to that , Kindly let me know how to go about it ,. any links or pointers on how to achieve the same will be welcome.
thanks
Dev
Edited by: sd on Feb 17, 2010 8:23 AM

Thanks for your reponse Praveen
Can you please let me know how can i put the extension as .rtf for the output files i am generating ??
as far as the formatting is concerned ... it is like ... the header needs to be of a particular Font , a particular font size , bold etc and so is the case for line items
I am unsure if it is possible using an Adapter module as well
thanks

TOC Generation Not Recognizing Style in RTF Output

I am having a problem generating TOC where my rtf template contains grouping of data. I tried using style TOC1 and Header 1 in my template but this formatting does not get carried through to my output result when I try to PREVIEW on the desktop. Am I making some wrong assumption on the use of the TOC capabilities or do I need to do something different in the rtf template for TOC generation.
Thanks In Advance,
Tom

I fixed the TOC problem on the grouping .... I didn't read the spec with enough detail. When DEFINING the data element to be included in the TOC, it CANNOT BE in a FORM FIELD !!!! I just seemed to miss that little fact. It is now working with grouping/sub grouping

Editable RTF output

we have to generate report in word format, so the user can edit contents of the generated report. Report has lot of formatting needs. To get better idea see this site http://www.buzzle.com/articles/terms-and-conditions-sample.html .. once generated user should able to edit sample solutions with keeping format..
Any suggestions ?

we already made line off. I cant upload sample rtf here right? but see below my sample output.. Each column is surrounded with frame in rtf o/p. Once report is generated, users will edit columns in word.. as this is running document to goods are delivered
