Save output report as .pdf file in a folder

Hi,
I have to create a report which has output in .pdf format, and then save that .pdf in a particular folder, which is already there.. Can anybody help ?

thanks a lot..
one more ques on request priorities:
Can we set the priority in Oracle Reports ? Say, for example, we have scheduled weekly reports ( around 40 - 50 reports) that runs 1st of every month at 9AM. While these reports are still running , we want to run an adhoc report , which canbe for last one week. Can we set the priority such that adhoc report is executed first ? Or is it something like they both will run parallel in different sessions ?
I have posted this as a separate thread, but not getting replies..

Save a report 6i PDF file onto the database server

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, whereby I need to generate a PDF report and then send that report via Email. The problem I have is my email procedure is looking for the file which is in the directory on the server where the database is stored, While the PDF is generated on the local machine. Im using reports 6i.
I know in reports 10g the file is generated on the report server itself but Im afraid same is not the case with reports 6i.
The other problem is the local machine does not have the access to the directories on the server. I tried to change the directory path in the database to look at the C:\ but it doesn't work, it says invalid directory, I think the PDF report file needs to be on the server where the database is installed. Is there a way I can pick the PDF file from the local machine instead of the server where the database is installed?
Im not too sure what is the way forward, All I need is to generate a PDF file and mail it.
The procedure that I'm using to send the email attachment is :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE email_attachment(
xfilename VARCHAR2,
xloc VARCHAR2) IS
conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
conn := Send_Mail.begin_mail(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Attachment Test',
mime_type => Send_Mail.MULTIPART_MIME_TYPE);
Send_Mail.attach_text(
conn => conn,
DATA => '<b>This is a test Email.<b>',
mime_type => 'text/html');
send_mail.attach_base64_fromfile(
conn => conn,
filename => xfilename,--'test.pdf',
floc => xloc,--'File directory',
mime_type => 'application/octet',
inline => TRUE);
Send_Mail.end_attachment( conn => conn );
Send_Mail.end_mail( conn => conn );
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
in the forms 6i email with attachment can be sent only through database folder/file. From the client it can not be.
Here is one alternate solution.
1. Share the folder from db server which is used for email directory and keep changeable for everyone.
2. After generate the report like RUN_PRODUCT keep the below command.
HOST('XCOPY CLIENT_PATH\FILE_NAME SERVER_PATH');
3. This command will transfer file from client to db server. After this execute your procedure which is sending email.
Hope it will work.

1. Open the defaultconfig.xml file found in the following directory:
servername\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\webiApplet\AppletConfig

Save webi report as pdf programmatically

Does anyone has any SDK code sample or can point me to the location of code sample on how to save a webi report as PDF file programmatically? Also, is the ReportEngineSDK is sufficient for this task or I need some other SDK?
We are running XIr2 SP1 on Windows Server 2003, with Tomcat as web container.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,
I think Using ReportEngine SDK you would not be able to save the webi report in PDF format.However it could be possible if you schedule a webi report to PDF format to unmanaged disk.
You can refer the following tutorials given in developer library's BusinessObjects Enterprise SDKs. You can either use .NET or Java SDKs.

Go through the program RSTXPDFT4 (Converting SAPscript (OTF) or ABAP List Spool Job to PDF), you will get some idea. Using this program you can convert spool into PDF file.

I am Required to Save before opening a PDF file in FF 10.0.1. How do I get FF to open the PDF file?

I am Required to Save before opening a PDF file in FF 10.0.1. How can I get FF to open a PDF as the default?

Check your add-ons:
Cmd+Shift+A
Make sure the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in is set to Always Activate.

I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

Hi all,
Is it possible to save the report in PDF format on the server?
In other words, in a web application:

2) the report produced in PDF format, is saved on the server, where is the Java Reporting Component
3) the report, in PDF format, is sent to the client's user

No link after exporting Crystal report as pdf file

Hello,
          If my Crystal Report contain link to the .avi file saved on the local hard disk and if I export the Report as .pdf file, pdf file does not contain that link. Why?
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this object, it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Taken from CR Help File:
"PDF format is a page-based format. The exported documents are intended for printing and redistribution. PDF format will export both layout and formatting in a manner that is consistent with how the report looks on the Preview tab. PDF format embeds the TrueType fonts that appear in the document. (Non-TrueType fonts are not supported.) This export format does not support Microsoft font-linking technologyu2014which is used to provide support for some extended character sets such as Chinese HKCS. Therefore, the fonts used in the report must contain all of the required glyphs. These URI types are supported for hyperlinks: "http:", "https:" and "mailto:".
Therefore your hyperlink is not working as u are using File type when cr only supports http https and mailto uri types

Why can't I "Save as Text" a pdf file received as an email attachment?

I can "Save as text" a pdf file which I have created in my own computer (that is, it goes into MS notebook that I then can Copy and Save as an MS Word file) but not when I receive a pdf as an email attachment. (The file is saved, but it is empty.) Why would I want to convert my own pdf back to text? Well, in case I no longer have the original Word document I suppose, but the thing is "Save as text" works with my pdf, but not with those I recieve from others. How come? Thanks!

Is this a scanned PDF? If so, it must first be OCR'd.
