Saving a report as a PDF file - missing bitmaps

Reports 6.0.8.11.3 - Oracle 8.0.5
I have reports that include graphic logos displayed into REPEATING FRAMES - they are stored into long raw fields, and the format specified for the frames in the reports is OLE2.
ALL IS OK AS LONG AS I PREVIEW AND PRINT THE REPORTS AS USUAL.
If I specify FORMAT=PDF and try to save a PDF file copy of those reports, they are perfect, but the logos are missing.
I tried to specify an IMAGE format for the repeating frames, but the problem persists and I get an "unsupported data type" error message.
Is there a workaround? Sadly, I must use the PDF format, so I ask Your help to know whether there is a way to include raster graphics into a PDF generated by Oracle Reports.
Thank You so much.

Hi Cesare,
From the on-line help, PDF Restrictions:
"OLE objects are ignored when generating PDF or HTML, but space is reserved for these objects in the output."
However, raster images are supported if they come from a file or the database. So, if you have actual image files, you can include them by reading them in from file. See the help topic on "image" for all the various options for including images in a report, dynamically or statically.
regards,
Stewart

  • Report to a PDF file with Ole Obj and codebar fields

    Im writing a report with some ole objects (images) and a codebar Field. When I run the report saving the result to a PDF file the Ole objects and the codebar fields doesnt appears in it. But, when run it directly in the report builder it does appears. Some idea about it? I would apreciate it.
    Luis

    You mean a barcode? That is a font, not an OLE object. If you have the font installed on your PC, you can have barcodes in your pdf report.
    PDF also has the possibility on embedded fonts, so the font doesn't have to be on every PC. There are several threads about this. Search this forum for 'embedded font', e.g. Font embedding in reports

  • Exporting a Report to a pdf file with drill down!

    Hi,
    I would like to export a Report to a pdf file.
    My Report includes drill down options. I require the exported pdf with drill down options.
    (Similar to Navigation options in a PDF file).
    I hope this makes sense.
    Please provide a better solution for me.
    If am not wrong, this facility is not available with Crystal Reports!!!
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • Is it possible to export the page activity report to a pdf file?

    Is it possible to export the page activity report to a pdf file？and is there any api or samples to be reference

    Do you mean audit history?   One method would be similar to the following sample that you could extend to create a PDF from the data returned:
    http://www.eyelock.net/blog/archives/533
    BUT the method used above via JCR Query is an implementation detail.  For future proofing, you should use the ReplicationStatus status = page.adaptTo(ReplicationStatus.class in your code to get the audit logs for a particular page, rather than a straight JCR query. (recommended by Jörg Hoh @ http://forums.adobe.com/message/5253760).

  • Each page of Oracle Report Generates separate pdf file.

    I have a problem that i want that oracle report runs for one time and generates sepatate pdf files for each oracle report page.eg. if there are 8 page of report then 8 pdf files should generate (one pdf file for each page) but the condition is that the print job is set to NO and page range should not be given each time.

    What version of Reports are you using?
    If it's 10g then have a look at Report Bursting as this should enable you to send the report to multiple files based on a repeating group.

    After Updating iBook on my ipad , Some PDF  files missed . how should restore them?

    Your posted question is the key to your answer - sync them back to the iPad. You can still connect the iPad to your PC, launch iTunes, select your iPad name from the left side under devices - then go to the apps tab in iTunes and select all of the apps to sync again.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is selected as well. If you make changes to the app configuration, click on Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.

  • Interactive Report uses XML data saved in database for creating PDF files?

    Hello all,
    I installed Apache FOP to allow a PDF "Download" in the Interactive Reports.
    Correct me if i'm wrong, when a PDF file is created with the Interactive Report option "Download", it uses a XML data to make it. Right ??
    I would like know where in the database is this XML code located.
    Regards Pedro.

    After some searching i found that XML its stored as a BLOB and it is used as XML based report data and RTF or XSL-FO based report layout.
    I didn't find yet where is located the XML used by Interactive Reports. If someone knows where in the APEX database is the XML located please share.
    Regards Pedro.

  • Interactive Report Produces Corrupt PDF File

    Hello.
    I am using Apex 3.1.2 and have created an Interactive Report (IR). I then chose the "Download as PDF" option and chose the "Open" option. This caused an error about a corrupt PDF file.
    I then saved the file to my Windows drive and attempted to open it using Wordpad. I saw the following error as the very first line in the file:
    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    I would much appreciate any suggestions as to what to do.
    Thank you.
    Elie

    No Christina,
    First I went under report attributes on Interactive reports under download
    Download formats:
    CSV and PDF
    I checked both. CSV format is fine. PDF format is corrupt.
    Next I then went in using the below:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31rpt.htm
    It tells me I don't have a print server defined. I am trying to get the INLINE method to work.
    I see in the ADMIN there is a print server configuration section though it is not totally clear as I would think that you would get the default print configuration as you would with any other PDF docuement.

  • XML publisher report with a template file missing

    I get the following error

    but in

    I did have the setting Effective date, what cause the problem?

    Have a look at following post and run the sql in this post to see if your template definition is missing.
    http://peoplesoft.wikidot.com/xml-publisher-template-file-missing
    You could also run Application Engine PSXPCLEAN to clean orphan rows.
    Are you running the report online or through PeopleCode?
    In last case make sure the effdt is set correct in PeopleCode.
    Also have a look if your server time settings are correct.

  • Exporting report to seperate PDF files based on a report's Groups

    Hi all,
    I have RPT files created in CR 2008 designer. My aim is to use CR.NET SDK with Visual Studio 2010 to create an application that would allow me to load these RPT file(s) to my application which then exports to PDF.
    However, the catch is that my RPT files have groupings (each group starts a new page) and I want each group to be printed into separate PDF files, with each filename being the group name.
    I have done a sample windows application with the CR viewer loading the RPT file and exporting the entire RPT output to PDF. But is there a way to iterate through the Groups in a report and print them to PDF separately?
    Any suggestions much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Ludek,
    I am using CRVS2010.
    Using the CR designer is not efficient for me to run the report for every group and export each to PDF - this would take a lot of time for a larger report which is the reason for a programmatic solution.
    There are third party programs that achieve this. There seems to be a discrepancy if those applications can use the API to burst By Group and you mention that is cannot be done? ([example program that can do this|http://www.milletsoftware.com/Tab3.htm])
    Thanks.

    Hi H.Barker,
    Zou is correct, LabVIEW supports all GIF bit depth images 24bit and below.
    Thank you for forwarding the GIF images, I also experienced the same error when trying to import the "logo.gif" image in LabVIEW however I was able to import the image when I opened it in Microsoft Paint and resaved it as a new GIF.
    This suggests there is a corruption in the original GIF file generated on the web, for example a "terminiating block" may be missing at the end of the GIF file. LabVIEW is not forgiving of GIF images that do not meet the GIF specification whereas other Windows editors may be, it seems that opening and resaving the GIF file in Microsoft Paint added the missing characters thus allowing for the file to be imported into LabVIEW.
    I have attached the working GIF image to this post.
    Hopefully this assists with your application H.Barker.
    Many Thanks
