Sectioned graphs output to PDF/print issue OBIEE 11G

I've created a series of graphs by placing the field that varies in the "Sections" area, so that each graph displays data for each unique item (in this case). When viewing in IE or Firefox, the graphs look perfect, each one accurately displaying the related data as they should. However, when I go to export or print the graphs to PDF or just print them, the sectioned identifiers change accordingly, but the graphs themselves are all the same.
For example, if I create a simple analysis for items 12345, 12346, and 12347 and their annual sales, create the resulting graph, then drop the item# into the Sections, I properly get three graphs, with each identified accurately with each different item number, but each of the graphs themselves are exactly the same, always with the data from the first item of the group.
Incidentally, the table/pivot tables (if using sections) do NOT reflect this behavior when exporting/printing. They display properly. It's only the graphs.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is it a bug? We are on OBIEE 11g 11.1.3.0/ IE 8 / Firefox 13.0.1/ Adobe Reader X 10.1.3.
Apologies if this has been covered before, but I could not find any related posts. Thank you in advance!

Hi, and thank you for your response. Yes, I've tried approaching it from many different directions, including what you're suggesting. It makes no difference how simple the analyses/graphs are, it results with duplicated graphs.
Could this be caused by something we may have wrong in the instanceconfig.xml or NQSConfig.INI?

Dear Alexander,
Thanks for the reply.
In this I am using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. I have checked the settings from SPAD that is also same in both servers for particular output device. But the patches are diffrennt in both the servers, the server from which layout is not coming properly having the high level patches in compare to the other server(which is working fine).

PDF Print issue in Report designer

Hi All,
I am using Report Designer for formatting group of reports. The issue I face in all is the that when I open the print version of the output in PDF, the words break, for eg: "Department of Biochemistry" will be displayed as "Department of bioc
hemistry". I want to set up in such a way that if the whole word can't fit in one line, then the whole word should go to the next line and not break itself. I see that issue only in Print version whereas when I display the output, that issue doesnot come.
Can anyone let me know what setting I need to do to fix this?
Thanks a lot!!

PDF Printing issue (passing static items)

Hello experts,
I am starting out with PDF printing from Apex and have a small (I hope) issue. I have downloaded a demo from Oracle site and all works OK.
To test the ability to create my own RTF templates I have added an additional item on the page called P3_PAWEL
Then I have added a field in the RTF template (by copying the existing field from elsewhere in the template and changing its property name)
As a last step I have added the item in the Report Quearies page by clicking on Session State > and adding the P3_PAWEL item to the list.
When I now print the report all still works OK but I do not see anything on the report where (in the template) I put my P3_PAWEL text field.
Any ideas what else I am missing here?
Regards,
Pawel.

What you are after is the Oracle XML Publisher Desktop.
Goto :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html
and download Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 for Microsoft Windows. It is 100Mb.
It adds some buttons to MS Word.

Acrobat Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day!
I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer. It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up.
I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
Any ideas would be helpful. My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so! Cheers.
Jeremy

If you have X.5.8. look here:
I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue on printing Large Reports

Hello All,
I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
Much awaited for your assistance

Matt,
On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc
Regards,
Marc

Unusual InDesign/PDF/Printer Issue

I am currently using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Professional 8.
I received a CS4 file that I could not open from another designer, he saved it as a .inx file which opened in CS3. I made the changes to the document, relink the images, and when I would export to pdf, the images in the design will print with a faint box around them, when in fact they are images that are cutout (have no background). 3 images are .tiffs and one is a .psd. They all look fine on a computer screen, but when it prints, the box shows up. We printed the pdf on several different printers and on one printer there is a box around those images. On another printer the box is not there. I'm not sure if its an Indesign issue, PDF issue or a printer issue. I've tried exporting it as PDF/X-1a:2001, that didn't work.
Please help! Thanks.

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

V10.1.5 upgrade - Adobe PDF printer issues - font embedding

Hi,
Accepted the 10.1.5 (Acrobat Standard) upgrade. Have started having "Adobe PDF" printer failures with MS Outlook 2010: Font embedding issues.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to tweak to tell it to substitute with another font when it runs into licensing issues?
I've re-installed CutePDF as a workaround, but would prefer to use the Adobe printer.
save-as-filename.log:
"%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: LucidaSans cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (B&H) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
500
/l
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
Regards,
JD

In the settings file you should be able to set to continue even if the embed fails. In that case, I think you will simply have the PDF without the one font being embedded. You can also set to never embed it in the settings file (if you can find it on your system).

PDF Print Issue

Hello ALL,
I'm stuck on an Issue w/ PDF printing for columns which has '&' (ampersands) in the data. I'm trying to escape the Ampersands in the SQL Query using the APEX_UTIL. URL_ENCODE, but the report doesn't show-up right.
I initially tried the replace with '%26amp;' , the PDF export works, but the IR report is messed-up. Can any of you guys shed some light on this ?
Thanks
Prashanth

Which broswer and what OS? You might want to configure the browser to open pdfs in stand alone in AA rather than within the browser window, or v/v.

CS6 PDF Printing Issues

For years I have succesfully used the "Adobe PDF" printer as a way to print PDF files from photoshop files. i create a lot of architectural images consisting of layers of raster images and text that are typically 24 x36 @ 300 dpi. I have used this process, rather than saving as a PDF, because printing resulted in the smallest file size. I have used this method for years with CS3 and for the past few months with CS6. Just recently I started getting the following error through a .log file:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller; ErrorInfo: DictCRC --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
( """""""!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"##" !" "! !! ###########$$$"!! !!!!!!! ...)
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Do other users use the Adobe PDF printer as a method for creating PDF files and has anyone else experienced this issue? I have figured out a work-around, but I would prefer that the software continue to perform as it has in the past.
Thanks!

A quick Google search gives me some interesting results, f.e.:

-> this insinuates that it might be an upstream-bug.
I think I read somewhere that cups has changed from PDF to PS as the 'backend', and that means that a PDF that used to be fed directly to the printer, now has to be converted to PS. This same change has given me lots of headaches to print from libreoffice...

PDF printing issues [SOLVED]

Ever since cups got a major upgrade I've had constant problems printing PDF-documents. I've searched and looked for solutions for more than a month. My guess was that I had messed something up by installing some kind of conflicting package that I couldn't track down. However since I made a fresh install the other day on a new SSD I could get a fresh start.
Printer: HL-Brother 5370DW
Cups and its dependencies: updated according to stable repositories with nothing added from AUR or modified packages
Issues before on older install:
- pdf printing, using common Linux tools, resultet in documents filled with thin grey lines
- Acroread would work but then it doesn't have the same dependencies
Issues on fresh install:
- pdf printing works... but screw up font size and page layout (font size is for whatever reason bigger, marginals smaller, and paragraphs that don't fit are seen as thin grey lines as described earlier)
- Acroread still works
Debugging of cups don't give much since there's no obvious errors. Related to the printer the following can be noted:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Inserted workaround PostScript code for Brother printers
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Page = 595x842; 12,12 to 583,830
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] slow_collate=0, slow_duplex=0, slow_order=0
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Before copy_comments - %!PS-Adobe-3.0
A haven't noticed any issues besides the PDF related ones. Maybe it's related to the same possible reason as some suggest, a conflict between poppler and cups filter. Debugging of cups gives this:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] PID 7342 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) exited with no errors.
Does anyone know a solution for Brother printers like mine? Is there a solution in the pipeline that I could test?

ADS pdf printing issue

Good Day;

So from monday when I print PDF I am getting an error /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/spoolxxxxxx.PDA file doesnot exist. I can see only three files there except .pda . I assume the scheduled report delete the old archive files.
Is there any link between .pda file and the report RSPO1041?
Also my ADS_AGENT user get automatically locked frequently , What can be the reasons for the lock?
Thanks in advance ..

Adornment PDF(Print) issue?

Hi
I've developed a plugin just like sdk sample plugin "framelabel". I've added one label adornment to kDrawablePageItemsBoss. It works fine when I export it to pdf as interactive, jpeg...
But my adornment is not exported if I select pdf(print). But the sample plugin framelabel works fine with print too.
Could any one please suggest wats my mistake?
FYI
InDesign CS5.5 (Release)
Win 7
many thanks
~Ays.Hakkim

Thanks Roddy. Yes my plugin is a kUIPlugin. I'll split and try it as model & ui.
it won't be copied to the background thread and your adornment won't be drawn.
I hope u mean it wont draw on PDF. Becoz adornment draws fine in indesign page UI.

Error while exporting to PDF document in OBIEE 11g

Hi
In OBIEE 11g we are facing an issue regarding exporting a few reports to pdf. It is resulting in following error: "Error generating PDF document".
The reports are placed on a dashboard which has a prompt too. However, when we remove the prompts, the export is working fine.
We will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like this is a sort of known bug with PDF creator in 11g. Try implementing the below solution:
To configure the Javahost service, edit the Javahost service configuration parameters in the
instanceconfig.xml file. The parameters are
identified by their relative path starting from the /WebConfig/ServerInstance node
For example:
<JavaHost>
<PDF>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>50000</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
After changes restart Siebel Analytics Java Host and Siebel Analytics Web services
If it doesn't work try to create same report in xml publisher as presentations services in obiee has limited capacities in printing out reports.
Refer to this thread for related useful information: Error in creating a PDF
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.
