Suppressing hyperlinks while exporting reports to xcel , pdf, etc etc

Post Author: SankhadipBiswas
CA Forum: Exporting
My
reports have hyper links in them. While exporting reports the hyper
links are also getting exported and I don't want to export those hyper
links. Please can any body tell me how to suppress those hyper links.

Unfortunately, it looks like that font has many issues. Googling 'Univers Condensed Fonts .net' gets a number of interesting posts. E.g.;
Univers 67 Bold Condensed Font does not show in my Flash Fonts List
See if you can select the font in the properties window of the VS.NET IDE.
It would also be interesting to see if the following will work in a new test app:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Font = New Font("Univers 57 Condensed Font – Univers 57 Condensed", 12, FontStyle.Regular)
End Sub

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
(and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
or using
File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

Thanks jscher2000.
RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
Some folks might say,
go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
who needs PDFs, everything is online.
Or, buy some Adobe product.
I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

Hello Andrea.
I searched through the SAP Notes for the error that you are encountering. There is an SAP Note that exists titled the following:
1332907 - Report being exported to PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime, errors with the exception: PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob
Since you may not have access to the SAP Notes, I will extract the details that are mentioned in the note here:
=============================================
Symptom
Attempting to export a report to Adobe PDF format using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime results in an exception.
The exception indicates "PdfExporter: caught Exception in PDFFormatter.finalizeFormatJob"
Environment
Windows 2003
Apache Tomcat 5.0
Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 1.x
Reproducing the Issue
Using the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime version 1.x attempt to export a report to PDF format that has the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" option enabled.
Note: This does not occur if this option is enabled in a subreport.
Cause
When the "Repeat Group Header on Each Page" is enabled for a group in a main report the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x runtime is unable to correclty format the PDF document which results in an exception.
Resolution
Updating the application to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.x runtime will resolve the issue.
The most recent updates to the Crystal Reports for Eclipse runtime can be freely downloaded from the SAP SDN Website.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-java
=============================================
Since you are on JRC 11.8.4.1094 which is Crystal Reports for Eclipse 1.x, this may be the cause of your problem.
I hope that this helps.
Regards.

Issue while exporting report in PDF using crystal report XI

Hello,
I am facing issue while exporting a report to PDF through crystal report XI. Reports are generating properly in the crystal report browser but when I am exporting the reports in PDF or trying to get print by clicking on print button, reports not generating properly.
Allignment in the exported PDF reports getting changed and reports margin is also changes. Due to this some part of report is chopped and printed on the next page.
I have deployed my application on IBM WebSphere 6.1 server and I am getting following error which might help to identify this issue.

The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file. Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
It's not related to the PDF formatting issue. There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF. But the latest version helps greatly.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

"Memory full." error while exporting report to PDF format - CR2008SP2

 
Hello, 
 
I am developing a C#.NET application that uses the CR2008 SP2 .NET libraries. This application performs some database updates and uses CR2008 SP2 to run 7 different reports and export the results to PDF files. This application is a console application that only uses Crystal to export the rendered reports - it does not use previews or printing. 
 
The specific pattern of this application is as follows: 
 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #1 and export it as a PDF file 
- perform some database updates 
- render report #2 and export it as a PDF file 
... pattern repeats to report #7 ... 
 
This application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. The problem occurs when I try to run multiple instances of this application at the same time. When I run multiple instances of this application at the same time (against totally different databases) each instance will start up happily and begin running through the process described above. After a few moments one or more instances will fail during the report export. The specific error is as follows: 
 
"Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation." 
 
The error always comes from the call to: 
 
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName) 
 
I have watched the memory consumption of these instances of my application while they are running. They never seem to exceed approximately 52MB each. At this time task manager reports over 1GB of physical memory free. These numbers lead me to believe that memory is not actually "full". 
 
Here are some specifics about the environment: 
 
Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB 
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 
SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64 
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 
 
Specifics about the C# application: 
 
IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1 
Type: Console Application 
Target platform: x86 
.NET Framework: 3.5 SP1 
Crystal References: 
- CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0) 
- CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0) 
 
Specifics about the report templates: 
 
The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport. 
 
Specifics about the database: 
 
Each database is approximately 1GB in size. The database contains many tables but the reports only access a handful of tables. Each table that the reports access have maybe a few hundred rows tops. Most have less than 100. Likewise, when the reports perform their selections the resulting rowset for the reports is anywhere from about 20 records to a few hundred records tops. 
 
A few items to note: 
 
- Multiple instances of my application need to be able to run on a single machine at the same time. It is a specific design requirement. 
- My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it. 
- My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I change the export format from PDF to HTML32 or HTML40 (have not tried any others) 
- The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs. 
- I have taken steps to ensure that I am properly disposing of my CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument instance just after each export is complete. I have tried to use the "using" keyword, as well as explicitly setting the instance to null and calling the .NET framework garbage collector. This did not seem to help. 
 
Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Steve

Jonathan & Ludek, 
 
Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys! 
 
I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions. 
 
Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today. 
 
- The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64. 
 
- The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql). 
 
- During runtime I connect the report to the database by looping through the ReportDocument.Database.Tables collection. For each Table found I create a CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo instance, fill in the table name, server name, database name, user ID, and password, and use Table.ApplyLogOnInfo() to apply it. I do the same thing for the subreports collection if there are any. Like I said, about half of the reports contain a single subreport. 
 
- The report templates are currently set to use the "SQLOLEDB" Provider. The Database Type is set to "OLE DB (ADO)". I am not entirely sure what you mean by trying a different database driver. I assume you mean to change the provider? If so, given the fact that we are using SQL Server 2008, what would I change it to? 
 
- If I do not perform the database updates during application runtime (instead, perform them ahead of time and then allow the application to only render the reports) then I still have the same problem. Nothing changes. 
 
- I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem. 
 
- I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know? 
 
- Regarding fragmented memory: It is hard for me to believe that, given the amount of memory free on the machine once all processes are up and running (1GB+), and the size of the processes (~50MB), that a contiguous block could not be found. Maybe there is some Crystal process that is attempting to balloon out of control, but as far as I can tell my application is not getting very big. I will not rule this out of course because I don't know for sure. 
 
- Regarding killing the process once a report is rendered: The problem with this is that the application needs to perform these 7 groups of updates and render these 7 reports in a specific sequence all as part of one complete "pass". Also, this application needs to be able to be able to handle a scneario where one or more instance of the application is started on a single machine at roughly the same time (pointed at different databases). The application actually does work fine in this regard (staying well within the capabilities of my 4GB laptop even when 8 of them are running) except that I always get the same error when I choose PDF as my export format. 
 
- I ran a test today where I changed the export format to HTML40 and started 8 instances of the application at the same time, each working from a different copy of the database. The instances ran a little slow but did complete in good time with no errors. Please note that changing the export format to PDF will cause the application to fail with the "memory full" error if even only 2 instances are running at the same time. The only way I can successfully complete a run with the export format set to PDF is to run only 1 instance at a time. I can run it over and over all day long and it will not fail, as long as only 1 instance is running at a given time. As of yesterday I had only proven that the application would complete when using the HTML40 export format when 2 or 4 instances are running, but today I doubled it again (to 8) and still no failure while using HTML40. This is possibly the most interesting fact about this problem, and is another reason why I am skeptical that memory fragmentation is the culprit. 
 
We would like to solve this problem because we would like to continue to target the PDF format. It is the standard report export format for our applications. If we cannot solve this problem we may call a meeting and decide whether to proceed with the HTML40 export format, or possibly dump Crystal from this project altogether. 
 
Thanks again for your interest in our problem and your timely and helpful responses. I'm really not sure where to go next ... maybe change the database provider in the templates? I will need some specific advice in this area because I'm not sure what to do. Any more ideas you guys have will be greatly appreciated on this end!

Cherian K,
A message that indicates that the object reference is not set to an instance of the object is typically caused by one or more of the following reasons:
There are soft page breaks within empty lists in the report.
There are hidden groups within the report and you tried to export it to PDF.
The report has a link to a subreport that is not published on the report server and you tried to export it to CSV.
There are text boxes with a width and/or height of zero in the report.
A text box is either hidden or the NoRows property is set to true.
A text box spans table cells where some cells have a collection of null values.
The report has static columns and/or rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
The report has static columns and/or rows and there are grand totals in the report.
The report has static column headings and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
The matrix report has multiple columns and rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true and
you tried to export to PDF or TIFF.

Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
 ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
 reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
 // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
 configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
 // get data source of crystal report
 Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
 // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
 ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
 LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
 ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
 exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
 reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

Data getting truncated while exporting report to a text file in crystal 10?

Hi All,
I am using crystal 10.When exporting report to a text file ,a dialog prompts asking for Character perinch with a default value 9.If I change the value from 9 to 16 i am getting the correct data(that means character per inch value is 16) and it update "CharPerInch" value in registry under following location to 16.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Text
The dialog asked for character per inch also has option to select not to prompt again and i also selected that in first go.
When i export the report again in text format it didn't prompt for number of character per inch but the data gets truncated.
What i believe is even though it updates entry in registry and reads, it is not using the same value for export. It never consider the value that is in registry, if the check box is not selected then it is using the value entered in the dialog and if the check box is selected then in the next run it uses the default value as 9.
Can anyone suggest me how to override this problem ? Is there any other setting place in registry where i can enter the number of character per inch.I don't want to crystal to prompt always for character per inch.

Hi Venkateswaran,
The other option to avoid truncation of the data could be
Right click the text filed
Click on Format Text to open the Format Editor
On Common tab check the text box for Can Grow.
This will prevent the data from truncating in preview as well as while exporting to text.
Otherwise you will have to set the characters per inch to 16 each time. I donu2019t see changing the registry value causing any difference here.

Aditya Joshi

Issue while exporting report to excel

I have a report created using ssrs.
In that i have set the body background property to an image
And also set a header in the report
Now while exporting it to excel, I need to remove the body background image and header
Need Help
Thanks
Abhinav

The workaround is to use a parameter that control the hidden properties and image/value properties of the header contents and background image path respectively. We need to place the header contents to a textbox or a rectangle so that the "hidden"
properties can be set or reset. Similarly for the image path or value properties of body section can be set or reset using expression. I am using external image URL. Refer below step.
1. Add a parameter "Export". Set the Available values
as "Specify values" and add the below labels and values.
Label Value
Header/Image Header/Image
No Header/Image No Header/Image
For Default Values,
Select Specify values option and add value as "Header/Image". Click Ok to close the parameter properties.
2. As my header section contains a textbox and wanted to hide while i export, select the textbox properties and set the visibility/hidden expression as, =IIF(Parameters!Export.Value <> "Header/Image", True, False)
3. Similarly in the report body properties, select the image source option as "External" and set the expression as,
=IIF(Parameters!Export.Value <> "Header/Image", "" , "http://localhost/Testing/NEW_06.jpg")
4. Preview the report and select the export parameter option as "No Header/Image".

Issue while exporting report - OBIEE 11g - IIS 7.5

Hi,
We are currently on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 version of OBIEE and we have set up proxy through IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008 R2 server.
While exporting our reports, we need to ensure that both Export to excel options (2003 and 2007+) are working fine. However, for some reports, when we try to download the reports to Excel 2007+ format, we get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message. This issue does not appear if we change the URL to directly access Weblogic server (instead of routing through IIS). Wanted to know if anyone have faced similar issue and have found any solution/workaround for same.
Thanks
Hyder

Hyder,
I have achieved this.We have deployed our OBIEE application on Weblogic server not on IIS.

CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

I have recently upgraded our Crystal Reports version from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to Crystal Reports 2008. After upgradation I am facing the problem "Memory full.OtherErrorFailed to export the report.

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
Regards, Grant.

There is a 1500 character limit and then all formatting is removed to save space. Break you posts into separate entries.

How can we hyperlink a WEBI report to a .PDF or .DOC in any location?

Hi All,
I have a WEBI report which has a column called Country(Values US, UK). I have some .pdf files in my local machine and BOE server. Could anyone let me know how can I hyperlink the report to the .pdf in my local machine and in the server. There are two cases as below as questions to be answered.
Case 1
When I click on country column, a single .pdf file should open irrespective of the column values in my local machine/server
Case 2
When I click on country column, a .pdf file should open with respect to the column values in my local machine/server
I would be grateful if it is answered asap.
Thanks and Regrads

Indesign getting crash while exporting because of bad pdf inside file.

Hi,
My indesing is getting crash while exporting to pdf. I have link to pdf file inside the indesign file, when i export that indesign file to pdf indesign is getting crash without showing any error message. If i place another pdf file in same location then it is going fine and i can able to get the output pdf file. Please suggest me how can i check and correct that pdf file and is there any solution to this. Please help me i have thousands of indesign pages with the same issue. If you want pdf i can send it to your mail id. please i need fix for this problem.
Thanks
Kiran

For all of you lurkers, Kiran sent me a copy of the PDF, and it looks like I found the problem (and learned a new technique which may help others in the same boat).
I tried re-frying the file by creating an eps and distilling, but the result was the same, then I tried exporting from CS3, just for fun, and it worked, but I realized the PDF had been cropped, so I started trying differnt sections and isolated an area that failed, though that wasn't particularly helpful.
Acrobat preflight didn't find anything that looked odd or problematic, and then I decided to run Examine Document. It came up with MetaData (no surprise) and also two items under a heading of Deleted and Cropped objects, with no preview or description. I unselected the MetaData from the list of found stuff, them clicked the Remove button in the Examine Document panel, and resaved (and while you have the opportunity to give it a new name, doing so doesn't remove the stuff untill you do the whole procedure again and save with the same name). Placed the new version of the PDF in a new file and exported no problem.
