SSRS PDF report inconsistent behaviour

Hi,
We are using SSRS reports in out project. In one of the reports we are facing a weird behaviour of PDF report. The report has few legends at the start and then the table containing the data starts.
If the report has 25-28 records then the table starts from Page 2 instead of Page1. The corresponding HTML report is working fine.
If the report has less then 25 records, table starts correctly from Page 1.
If the reports has more than 30 records, then also the table starts correctly from Page1 and remaining records at Page2.
Does anybody has idea why PDF reports starts displaying the table from Page 2?

PDF reports in SSRS are generated with physical dimensions of the page and HTML are generated as logical. So if any of the rows in your first page or header is wider than a A4 size paper then part of the row will be moved to the next page. Keeping
this in mind can you recheck the issue. The fact about 30 rows being on one page and 25-30 rows being moved to another might just be a conincidence. Maybe one of the records in the 25-30 set is wider than the other records. Could you please recheck and confirm?

SSRS 2012: Report Header PrintOnFirstPage-problem after report migration from SSRS 2008

Hi ,
I developed my report using VS 2008 IDE and the report header property "PrintOnFirstPage" is set to False.
The content of the header are some textboxes and lines that should show only on page number > 1.
This works fine in VS 2008 IDE in preview mode as well as with reports rendered by SSRS 2008 report server.
Recently I migrate&convert the same report to SSRS 2012 I noticed a different rendering behaviour of my report.
So in VS 2010 preview mode, the page headers content (textboxe etc.) is not visible on first page but the headers space did not colapse as it does in VS 2008 IDE preview mode.
I checked all the report properties but unable to find a solution to my problem.
I was able to reprduce the same behaviour by creating a new report using VS2010 IDE.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Bodo

Hi BodoHH,
I have tested on my local enviorment and can't reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by many factors, it can be caused by the properties setting and can also caused by the visual studio, Detais information below for your reference:
As you mentioned that you have check all the report properties, please also check the tablix,Page Header,report body properties to see if the size are the same with that in the SSRS2008.
Please open this rdl report in the report builder to see if the print layout is correct, if it works fine, the issue can be caused by the visual studio.
Please also try to upload the rdl report to report manager to check the layout.
Please also provide the snaphot of the layout in VS2010 to let us better analysis about the issue.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

PDF report font problem

Dear all,
All our reports are developed by reports builder 10g (under windows) and deployed on an Application Server 10g (on Linux).
We had a problem with displaying the arabic letters, but this was solved by following the steps in the metalink doc no 726205.1 for generating arabic pdf reports on unix.
Now, the problem is that the font used in the reports is ARIAL, but when the reports are displayed (in PDF format) the font is TAHOMA. This font conversion happens in both Arabic and English reportsl.
I wonder how can I correct this behaviour.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Naglaa

I am not sure if this may be the solution, but I think you need to use font-subsetting.
Please have a look at the following documents:
Generating a Unicode PDF File - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

Print SSRS Server Report in landscape or portrait mode directly(without report viewer control)

Hello,
.Net 4.0\VS2010\C#\ssrs 2008 on Sql Server 2008R2
Having a problem printing a Server report while controlling the orientation and the size of the emf rendered to the physical page.
I have the report cutting off in both landscape and portrait modes. I'm passing the following deviceinfo to the render function:
string DeviceInfo =
@"<DeviceInfo>
<OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>
<PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth>
<PageHeight>11in</PageHeight>
<MarginTop>0.25in</MarginTop>
<MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>
<MarginRight>0.25in</MarginRight>
<MarginBottom>0.25in</MarginBottom>
</DeviceInfo>";
return DeviceInfo;
string mimeType; string fileExtension; Stream pageStream = serverReport.Render("IMAGE", deviceInfo, firstPageParameters, out mimeType, out fileExtension);
No other settings seem to have an affect on controlling the output to printer or pdf. i.e. The deviceinfo params fed to server report's render function are all you get. I think my original code comes from an MSDN or CodeProject example. I'm not
inventing anything new here.
Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode. Seems like I ought to be able to squash or expand the image to whatever size I specify, separate from the 'page' size. Please let me know what i need
to know to make these reports print without bleeding onto 2 pages or slicing off the right side of the document image.

Hi
FraterJoanni,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
I am not expert in SSRS. You should get better response in SQL Server > SQL
Server Reporting Services, Power View forum.
After take a look at the similar threads links as you posted above.
The conclusion is we needn’t tell the program o this report is landscape not portrait. If the width is larger than the height, the report will be printed in landscape; otherwise, it will be printed in portrait.
>>Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode.
But in C# forum, we only from the point of code, code looks OK to me.
A similar blog talking about this
Controlling Page Size in a Reporting Services Report
And I have got the default page size in the US is Letter, 8.5in x 11in. In other parts of the world A4 (8.3in x 11.7in) is the standard.
65: //build the device settings (A4 8.3 × 11.7)
66: string deviceInfo = string.Format("<DeviceInfo><PageHeight>{0}</PageHeight><PageWidth>{1}</PageWidth></DeviceInfo>", "11.7in", "8.3in");
67:
68: //get report bytes

Generate SSRS PDF from SSIS

I am trying to write a SSIS package to auto generate a SSRS PDF. I have tried several threads on the net but all seem to require a web service.
I am using VS2012 and SQL2014
The report accepts one parameter @Licence
can anyone suggest any examples I can look at
Dont ask me .. i dont know

Hi Pete,
According to your description, you want to generate a PDF report from SSIS. Assuming that a SSRS report is already created and deployed in the report server, then we can use a Script Task with HTTP Connection Manager to achieve this goal. For more details,
please refer to the following blog:
http://sqlserverrider.wordpress.com/2013/02/15/generate-pdf-report-from-ssis/
Besides, I strongly recommend that you directly generate the PDF file from report server in SSRS. For more information about export reports in SSRS, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/dd239307.aspx
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

App Server 10g2 - PDF Reports called from Forms go to a background window

Hi all
We have Application Server 10g2 in use, mainly for legacy forms and reports. We also have the Secure Java Web.Show_Document bean (frmrwinteg.jar) installed. Since the application of the October 2008 CPU when a form calls a PDF report, it will pop in the background and leave the Internet Explorer window with the form at the front. We have not changed any configuration settings which could affect this.
Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer? We'd appreciate any tips on this. Thanks.

Well I am not sure if this is the original question. Here is what SebastienL mentioned originally:
Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer?He also mentioned this:
Before, the PDF window would open in front of IE, like any new window should. Now it opens in the background and IE stays in front.And it seems to be happening not just for him but for all users (on multiple client machines) as he mentioned this:
This occured overnight after a CPU patch to everyone who uses the system.If I am interpreting it correctly (and I don't claim to be correct in my interpretation), the issue is not about having to open PDF in the same IE window as the Forms. I am guessing SebastienL is looking to have PDF document appear in foreground (on top of Forms IE window) vs. it showing up in background (behind the Forms IE window).
Did I get it right SebastienL?
It does sound very much client configuration issue but I doubt (if my above assumptions are correct). Let me dig around and see if I can find something.
Thanks
Shail

E-mailing pdf-report from Adobe

In a Forms application running on a 10g applicationserver (9.0.4.1.0) I am calling a reportserver to create a pdf-report and show it on the screen. I am using web.show_document to achieve this. The report is shown in Adobe Reader in the Browser window (Int Explorer). If I then press the Email button in Adobe a new Outlook message window is opened with the pdf-file already inserted as attachment. This allows me to sent the Report immediately by E-mail.
I have a two questions regarding the use of the feature.
I am performing application management on the application for a costomer on a different location. The feature described above works in my development surrondings. The customer can do the same actions as described, with the exception that the report is NOT automatically attached to the new mail-message. I am trying to determine the reason for this.
The E-mailing feature and linking as attachment seems to work fine when used outside the browser. Also, when opening a pdf-file from the internet and pushing the Email button the file is automatically linked as attachment. These steps work equally for me and the client. However, when starting from a reportserver the attachment is missing for the client, as described above.
What could be the reason for the difference in behaviour? The only difference that I see is that the costomer uses Adobe 6 (an not able to upgrade) and I am using Adobe 7.
Another question is regarding the name of the attachment. What determines the name of the attachment the Outlook uses when performing this type of E-mailing?

Hi,
you really should ask thsi question on an Adobe forum because this would happen to any PDF files not only those generated by Reports or accessed from Forms.
Do you know that Oracle Reports, since version 9i, can send PDF attached to emails ?

Oracle Reports - PDF report

I have a PDF report designed using oracle report builder 6i. This report has a margin that prints the total of all the quantities to be ordered via a QUOTE. If this report prints beyond one page, then the total will print on all the pages. Users do not want to see the total on all the pages but only on the last page. I really need to keep these total fields on the MARGIN section of the layout. Is there any way, i can still keep these fields on the margin and print them only on the last page of the report? The report builder do not let me set the 'print condition' as the 'last page' because it is in the margin section. Any idea on this issue??

I would create a trigger for your MARGIN totals so they print only on the last page.
Have the trigger return TRUE if current page = total pages, else return FALSE.
This will make sure your margin totals are only visible on the last page.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.

var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

Generate a new pdf report with itens on my pdf form

Hi! My name is Heitor.
I have Adobe Forms Central and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my machine.
I would like to know if its possible to make a pdf report.
Example: Clicking in a button "print" on my already open and filled pdf form, and gathering all my 30 itens (see that i am only showing 5 itens on my form. but on my form exists a "Add" button to add itens on variables) on a dropdown list and generating a new pdf report with all these itens listed.
Thanks!

Report Logo - Displays on HTML, not on PDF report

Hello once again Gurus.
We have a system environment setup where we have BI Publisher Enterprise and Apex 3.1.2 talking together to create PDF reports on a Oracle 10g database (R2 I think, I'm uncertain). As part of a business requirement, depending on what project you are looking at within our apex application, when printing a report you see a logo specific to the project. We have already developed this using a RTF template with a dummy image embedded, and +url:{concat(.//URL,.//PROJECT_ID)}+ in the Alternative Text field of the Web tab of the Format Picture dialogue.
This worked fine when using the RTF templates as Report Layouts within Apex and as templates within a BI Publisher report.
However, now logos aren't appearing.
I am not sure if we have upgraded the version of BI Publisher, but we are running Apex 3.1.2.00.02 on Dev and Apex 3.1.1.00.09 on test and prod, however none of these environments are outputting logos in the PDF reports.
Curiously, if I go into the BI Publisher interface and ask for the report to be outputted as HTML, the image shows. Running the HTML version of the report from Apex also shows the logo -- but the logo isn't showing in the PDF reports.
As I continue trouble shooting, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: We are on BIP 10.1.3.2

If anyone could give us any insight on this, it would be appriciated.
I'm unsure if its a permissions problem with the PDF seeing the image, or something related to server setup. We currently have a redirect in place to production that doesn't include the :7777 in the URL, and for some reason, if the G_URL for the image is changed to this portless URL, the image is embedded. However, this redirect was in place for another application, and will soon be locked down, so is not available for a long term solution to this problem

Custom Filename for PDF Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to download pdf for a report. I provided the download action as a column link on the report. Clicking the link I direct to the URL for the custom report I created (f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT= MyReport). Pdf gets downloaded with the name MyReport.pdf. But I need to provide a custom name for the downloaded pdf, it should be based on the Id value of the report column something like this Emp123.pdf where 123 is the employee Id (selected row's employee id value in my report).
I searched in the forums and came across this thread APEX 3 PDF Report Export Custom Filename? but here its mentioned that
" In this case there's no separate attribute for the file name. And we don't do substitutions on the report query name, so setting the name dynamically as you described in your sample, won't be possible. "
Since the thread is a old one so posting a new one. Any pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh

1. Call the report with utl_http.
2. Store the output as a BLOB. Either local variable or store it in a table.
3. Print the blob.
Here is how you can print the blob and read the package spec for utl_http.
Re: display a blob on webpage using mod-plsql

Displaying both Hindi and Arabic numerals in Oracle 10g PDF report

Hi….
Oracle experts told us to ask “In how many ways we can do it in oracle?” instead of asking “Can we do it in Oracle?” , I need ONE way to solve the following problem, it toke to much time and I don’t know if it can be solved !
The problem:
Can we print in - Oracle 10g reports - a PDF report with BOTH Hindi and Arabic numerals?
Well, at design time everything is fine, you can use right-to-left, left-to-right and the print preview is showing BOTH Hindi/Arabic numerals fine, but when I tried to produce it as a PDF, unfortunately its not, means its either all Hindi or all Arabic numerals !
I tried everything possible, environment variables: NLS_LANG, REPORTS_BIDI_ALGORITHM, and REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERLS, setting Digit substitution to Context in windows regional settings, uifont.ali is modified properly according to metalink note, but nothing solved this issue!
I noticed something, when I used the DESTYPE=printer and DESNAME=PDF995 (one of the PDF printers) , it worked fine , means the problem could be in the generic PDF generator of the Oracle reports server,
But even with PDF995 you still need to feed the file name, which is not suitable for multi-user environment that need the report to be displayed via web browser.
Does anybody face this before?
