Hi BIans,

I will be having variable screen where i enter my input parameters.
when i execute the broadcaster it generates PDF file.
In the PDF file it shoudnt display my input parameters details or filter description.
Hope i am clear with the requirement.
How to achieve this.Plzz help.
Thanks in advance,
Shreya.

Hi,
You need to modify the template "0ANALYSIS_PATTERN_EXPORT" with which webitem you want to export.
Then save as template with Z. This Z template you need to mention in "export to pdf" command button.
it should resolved your issue.
Thanks,
Venkat

Broadcaster - PDF Output: number format

dear gurus
Where do I find the setting to set the display format for numbers of a PDF report sent with the BEx Broadcaster?
I'm currently setting up a lot of reports on our new BI installation. Most of these reports are sent in Excel (XML) format. When the user opens such an Excel file, all the numbers are displayed in the correct format.
eg. 1'000'000.00
(swiss-german format)
If I send the same report as PDF I get some (well, for me) wired format
e.g. 1,000,000.00
or 1 000 000,00
As far as I understand this, in Excel it seems to take the local user settings on the computer for displaying numbers an such. Since the PDF is generated on the server, the generator takes the format available (or set) on the server.
Tomorrow morning there will be a guy from the BASIS in our company. I'd like to have a clue what to tell him and how to make the PDF generator take our number format.

Hi Vineet
Thanks a lot for this advice. I did already test that by changing the number format in SU01 to different values. I did change that for the user which is set as permission holder for the query and also for the user that is set as broadcast sender. I have following options to set
1.234.567,89
1,234,567.89
1 234 567,89
All three settings did not have any impact to the report. The number format did not change. Furthermore there is no option for the desired format:
1'234'567.89

Broadcast Email to PDF output format

Hi All,
We are using the standard web template (0ANALYSIS_PATTERN) to broadcast email for PDF output format. I'm managed to received the PDF attachment email but however instead of one query, it contains duplication of the same query (repeated query) in the PDF file. We are also using the standard 0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCAST_PDF web template.
Has anyone experience this issue before and what is the solution for this?

Central 5.5 hanging/stuck while producing PDF output

Hi
We have been using Central 5.5 has been in use 3+ yrs with 80+ designs producing output to Printer & PDF. Generally speaking things are OK. Recently we have encountered a problem whereby Central appears to be hanging and it has been when processing a .dat to produce a PDF. the problem does not always occur so its hard to pinpoint the problem.
I have reported the problem to Adobe VAR & Adobe for their support, meanwhile I would appreciate if any forum users could advise as to possible causes of the problems we are encountering.
the following is the problem description - probably best to start at bottom of this posting and work up thru the mails
thanks in advance

User site are encountering an intermittent problem on the JF Server, first occurred 29/10 and then occurred yesterday and today
They tell me it seems to be specific to one particular IFD/Design when its used to create a PDF output file. It does not fail each time that the IFD/Design is used.
Typically when they get errors with .dat .IFD mismatches etc. a file would be created in /error/ and the next file in /data/ would be processed, but in this instance the JF Server is freezing intermittently - when processing particular files - no files created/posted to the /error/ directory
User site identify the problem file by filename of lowest sequence no. / date-time stamp - they then remove the file from the /data directory and then stop and start the JF service to get going again. When they put the offending .dat back in /data then it fails again, however if they copy the file creating copy_of_filename.dat and put copy_of_filename.dat in /data then the copied file processes ok !!!
could there be something funny about the original file, some sort of byte corruption that is resolved when the file is copied/saved again.
have you ever experienced anything like this ?
User site get an error message on the JF server when the problem file causes the hang/stuck service - its the most immediate e-mail below - there is a complete snail on this problem staring at the bottom of this mail working back up.
Do Adobe have any information regarding problems that could cause the JF Server to hang/freeze.
Have you any thoughts/suggestions - could you forward this problem to Adobe
Additionally, could any problem arise if McAfee Anti-Virus On-Access scan is turned "ON" on the JF Server, could there be any conflict of McAffee and JF both accessing a file at same time.

Hi
This problem has been experienced again, although this times its with a different Design/Form, still using version 5.5
The "business application" creates the dat files using a unique sequential filename and then copies the files to the JF-data directory. While JFserver processing a dat to produce a PDF the following error occurred on the server.

From a user perspective, when they look in the JF-data directory there could be one or a no. of files present. It would be the earliest of these files that is causing the problem, that JF is failing to process/merge the earliest of the dat files, and the server throws an error.

When the "problematic" dat file is removed from the data directory the other files process OK.
There are approx 100 different Designs/forms being produced and these could be either printer or PDF outputs. Remote users of the application receive PDF outputs.
The Design/MDF file in question has not changed in recent months.
The Design/Form where the problem occurs would be used a no. of times every day, on same day both ealier and later documents produced OK for the same form. This would therefore indicate that the cause of the problem is specific to the .dat file, that the file is either corrupted or that some value in the .dat is causing the problem.
Each dat file for PDF generates a new unique PDF filename to be created, to ensure destination-output pdf filename does not already exist on the jfserver.
The problematic dat file was copied to another machine and the following scenarios tested:-
1) one of the data field values was changed, the file saved and then re-submitted to the JFserver, the problem still occurred.
2) amended the job line to just change the destination pdf filename, the file then re-submitted to the JFserver and the problem did not occur, PDF produced OK.
3) without changing the destination pdf filename, amended the job line to include the logging commands -v-10 -n0 , the file then re-submitted to the JFserver and the problem did not occur, PDF produced OK.
This seems to indicate that by making a change to the JOB line and saving the file and resubmitting that it works OK.
System is printing hundreds and sometimes thousands of documents per day and this problem occurs only occasionally, all very strange.
I have been reluctant to turn on the logging commands -v-10 -n0 fulltime for all the forms as I rekon this may result in an overhead on the JFserver while may affect the production time of documents and have a negative impact on users if print production time is noticably slower.
I also have available the log file produced with the increased verbosity, but this is from a successful production of the pdf.
(I can make this available - e-mail me on [email protected]).
Any suggestions on cause/identification of this problem appreciated
thanks

PDF outputs continually crash after editing an html source file

I have English and multiple localized versions of a RoboHelp webhelp project. I have created several PDF outputs for the localized versions. I can generate the PDFs fine when I don't touch any of the html source files.
However, I had to make a change to one of the html source files to remove a <dl> from the source file. After making the change to the source file in an outside text editor (Notepad ++), I went back to RoboHelp to generate the PDF, and the PDF output crashed.
The reason I was using an outside text editor is that when I tried to edit the <dl> HTML tags in RH, its HTML editor deleted all text within the tags being edited. There was no undo at this point. In anotehr attempt to use the RH Design editor, RH didn’t delete the <dd> or <dt> tags when those tag styles were changed to <h4> and <p>, respectively. RH inserted the new html wrapper inside the existing ones, instead of replacing it.
Also, during the PDF generation process, a Visual Basic error message will appear dozens of times stating that the application was interrupted. I must press OK to continue for each error message.
What gives with the PDF generation failing like this?

I hate to say it but it sounds like something you are doing in the external editor is not liked by RoboHelp.
It could just be the way that text editor codes the file. I use EditPad Pro and that has various options for text encoding. My guess is your editor is not set to what RoboHelp expects.
Aftr that what I would do here is create a new one topic project and recreate the problem, with the minimum of text. It may help you spot the code RoboHelp does not like.

Barcode printing in XML report PDF output

Hi All,
I want to print barcode of invoice number / purchase order number in the XML report PDF output.
Anyone please suggest me with your ideas and experience.

Hi Bogdan,
The steps mentioned in the doc is what i did in order.
I couldn't understand the step # 13 & 14.
Log in as XML Publisher Administrator
Navigate to Administration --> Font Files --> Create Font File
Available fields are Font Name and File
--> for Font Name, choose any descriptive name
--> file will browse your PC to locate the font file
Navigate to Font Mappings -->Create Font Mapping Set
Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts.
Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set
Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add fonts to a set)
Font Family is the exact same name you see in MS Word under Font. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime.
Style and weight must also match how you use the font in the RTF or PDF layout template. Normal and Normal are good defaults.
Language and Territory should remain blank (NULL) unless you have a strong business reason, as these fields can cause the font not to be picked up at runtime.
Navigate to Configuration General -> FO Processing -->Font Mapping Set. This can also be done at Data Definition and Template level, via the corresponding Edit Configuration button on those pages. The hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
Select your new mapping set.
Make sure the font is not referenced under File --> Properties --> Custom in the RTF template file.
Under General, set a Temporary Directory. The font will be stored under a /fonts directory at runtime, initially created the first time the font is used.
Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview or by submitting a concurrent request.

How to set the margins for the pdf output in BI Publisher

Hi There,
When we view a report in PDF format in BI Publisher, we get pdf output in an iframe.
There are two scroll bars on the right side. When we scroll down the outer scrollbar to the bottom, there is a white space between the bottom border of the pdf report and bottom portion of the window.
We are calling BI report from apex by passing the url of the report. In this case the white space at the bottom is quite evident and seems that lot of space is being wasted.
Can somebody help me, how to remove or minimize this white space.
Thanks
Krishna

Hello,
open your report for editing, so you see the page with your layouts. Then click on the Link "Show as List" on the upper right. In the List of the output formats select "FO Formatted XML". This enables FO Export.
Then execute your report, click on the small menu item at the upper right. The Menu opens, select Export -> FO.
Hope that helps.

Problem with PDF output quality

We recently upgraded to CS4 Suite Design premium and i am having problems getting illustrator to print high quality output. I have a file created in illustrator which contains 300dpi tiff images created in photoshop (CMYK colorspace in both photoshop image and illustrator file) when i print this file to pdf everything looks hi-rez except these images. i have attempted adjusting all the obvious settings in the print dialoge box including: Output/Printer Resolution, Graphics/Postscript level, Advanced/overprint and transparency flattener options/custom settings. and nothing has worked. Other things i have noted, is that in the print dialog box the only presets listed are Custom, Default and Default Web/Video/Mobile. I have looked through the online help files and found the info on how to add "High Quality Print" to my adobe pdf presets, however it doesn't work. furthermore i have tried the instructions here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WSA79FA899-BC95-401e-BD44-5B26BC31B369.html where it says to move the files from "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Application Support\Adobe PDF" however there is no folder called "Application Support" on my system. I have run out of ideas.
The odd thing here, is that i can take the AI file into photoshop, and print a "High Quality Print" from photoshop with no problems, but i'd like to remove this step to speed up my workflow.
I've attached both the high-quality pdf output from photoshop and the low-quality pdf output from illustrator for reference. (look closely at the logo's)

Figured it out myself! yay! (only took my entire moring)
The solution:
Dont print to PDF!
SAVE AS COPY, then select Adobe PDF and click SAVE, this will bring up a dialog box with the options you need (including the "High Quality Print" Adobe PDF Preset)
This was not clear in any of the instructions i read

Frame artifacts appearing in PDF output

I have a problem with faint artifacts of object frames, rectangle frames and diagonals, etc. appearing in a PDF output when viewed in Acrobat Reader.They are hairline thin and are not visible in the InDesign document on screen.
Here are the circumstances of it occurring:
I'm using CS5.
The PDF is output for a publication that requires PDF X-1a:2003 standard.
The artwork, and any placed images are in CMYK. Transparency blend space is set to Document CMYK.
The background layer for the ad. is rich black 50:0:0:100 and the artifacts are showing up over a white logo.
Placed near the logo is a transparent background PSD image file with a drop shadow on the subject. (This object frame is one of the artifact sources) If this image is removed, the problem disappears.
Tif files don't seem to cause the same problem, but I'm having difficulty placing tifs and retaining transparency; the background always turns white, which doesn't happen with PSDs.
Be grateful of advice as to preventing this happening; Thanks.

We can confirm with a screen shot, but it sounds like a flattening artifact known as stitching. This shows on screen in the PDF, and often in a low-resolution print, but usually is not a problem on press.
You have to specifically opt to save transparency in the Tiff options dialog. You'll find once you do, though, that the stitching returns -- it's the transparency and flattening that causes this.
You can embed a screen shot using the camera icon on the web page like this:

Extra Page coming in the PDF output -- Urgent

Hi All,
I have created an AR Invoice Print report (pre-printed).
size of the stationary is half of A4.
In a single A4 page two invocies will be accommodated.
Here i have not used page break concept. I have adjusted the template with spaces.
But when are invoices are given in a range lets say 1 to 10.
The PDF output should have 5 pages accommodating 2 invoice in each page (this is working perfectly), but with this an extra black page is also getting generated. (The PDF is having 6 pages).
If the range is given between 1 to 9 the extra blank page will not get generated.
Is there any way to solve this issue???
It little bit urgent.. :)
Regards,
Jana

Jana,
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/
Check on the "Anatomy of a Template I & II"... should work on your case. Also, make sure extra carriage returns and unnecessary spaces between tables are removed. If you use fillers, be sure to have the same height attribute as the field being filled.

Open PDF-Output in browser window with full height

Hi,
I must open some BIP-Reports as PDF in a browser window via URL. The problem ist, that the height of the PDF-Output is fixed, as the PDF is shown in an iframe with fixed height.
The height can be set in the BIP preferences, but only to a fixed value (not to something like "100%"). If the height is smaller than the users browser window, then there is unused space below the pdf output. If the height is greater than the users browser window, there are two scrollbars to the right: One for the html-Page and one for the PDF.
I tried the following options:
1. http://<bip-server:port>/xmlpserver/public/<report-name>.xdo?_xmode=4&_xf=pdf
-> Output is PDF, only the PDF is shown (_xmode=4), opens in same browser window but height is limited.
2. http://<bip-server:port>/xmlpserver/public/<report-name>.xdo?_xmode=4&_xf=pdf&_xpt=1
-> PDF is not opend in browser window, but can be downloaded or opened in a separate PDF-Viewers window.
I would like to just open the PDF in the browser window in full height. How can I achive this?

Hello Yesh,
you can open PDFs as a guest user (without authentification):
1. Allow Guest Access (Admin -> Security Configuration -> Check "Allow Guest Access" and select a folder name).
2. Copy your Report into this guest folder
3. You can open the Report as PDF with a link like this:
http://(bip-server-name):9704/xmlpserver/(guest-folder-name)/(report-name)/(report-name).xdo?_xpt=0&_xf=pdf&_xmode=4(&report-parameters)
Just replace the strings in brackets. You find a great description of the URL parameters in Tim Dexters Blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/07/accessing_xmlp_enterprise_repo.html
I didn't find an option to set the height of the PDF-Output for the guest user in the BIP-UI. Maybe I missed something. But you can manually edit the configuration file. It is located on your BIP server direcory in the subdirectory xmlp/XMLP/Users. Select the guest users subdirectory and edit the configuration file "user~.profile".
In this XML config file there is an entry "viewerHeight". In the Value-Tag you can enter the PDF output windows height in pixel (but unfortunaly not in % - this was the question of my original posting).
Hope that helps...

How to set the font I wanted in the BI publisher PDF output

I was refering this forum,
Font used in RTF template not the same as the PDF generated!
but the following link i(provided in that forum)s not working
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/09/25/
I unterstood , the RTF template font won't come in the BI publsiher generated PDF output . I was trying to set from the 'BI publisher' Admin->Font Mappings.
There is 2 drop down. If I select ‘Target Font type=TrueType’- the font change is working
But if I select Type 1, where I can select the ‘real fonts’(such as Courier or Times-Rroman etc) , I cannot even apply the changes. It reverts back to
'Target Font type=TrueType’ (But I want to select the fonts from Type 1). Can you please let me know how do I do this?
Thanks in advance

Is there a reason why you don't use the presentation variables directly to filter the BI publisher report?
If you use the presentation variables, then ensure that the presentation variables associated with the prompt exactly matches the BIP report parameter name. In this case, you can create another datamodel with a sql that selects the parameters. for example: select :param1, :param2 from dual. In that case, the xml will include the parameter values and you should be just able to insert the param fields in the template.
Thanks!

Filter unassigned values in report output

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement as explained below.
There is a variable for Document Number with Select Options in the selection screen.
There are some documents which come as unassigned in BW, When I execute the query leaving this document no field blank it picks up all the blank document nos also and displays them as # unassigned.
I had tried by excluding # in the variable default value and also by Do NOt Include in selection in the query Designer, but it goes for a toss if the user changes in the Selection screen or removes the filter value in the Query Output.
Is there any way we can achieve following:
1. Even if user leaves this Variable as Blank, the report should filter out the # values.
2. If in case user enters # over there, report should not bring any output.
Objective is to hide the # Document Nos and user should not have any option to change in the query output.
can it be done by doing something in Variable exit or is there any other way.
would appreciate your help.
Regards
Deepak

Hi Siggi,
I tried that stuff, but that gives user a flexibity to change the value at the time of entering the parameters or by removing the filter in the query output.
Hi Klaus,
We are not Implementing any authorization model, everything is open to all the users. So this option also gets ruled out..
BW Gurus .. any other ideas on this..
