Urgent: Reports 9i - PDF

I'm having an urgent problem and was wondering if somebody here could help me.
I have to print a PDF report on several windows workstations with a bar code font that is installed on my
Oracle 9iAS Release 2 server.
This server is installed on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 system.
One of the main objectives is that the bar code font should be installed ONLY on the 9iAS server.
I heard about the new PDF Embed and PDF subsetting features of Oracle Reports 9i and i've tryed to implement this in
my environment following documents that i got on OTN and Metalink.
I already took the following steps:
1- PDF Embed:
-Put the AFM, PFA and PFB files, the report.rdf file in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo.
-Put the following entry in section [ PDF:Embed ] the uifont.ali file:
X317349A = "X317349A.afm X317349A.pfa" (i tryed with pfm and pfb files too) (this font is Type1)
- Use the command PDFEMBED=YES in the rwservlet call.
2- PDF Subsetting:
- Put the I20501P.ttf file, the report.rdf file in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo.
- Put the following entry in section [ PDF:Subsetting ] the uifont.ali file:
I2510P = "I2501P.ttf"
- Put the following mapping information in the uifont.ali file:
[ Global ] # Put mappings for all surfaces here.
# Mapping from MS Windows
Arial = helvetica
"Courier New" = courier
"Courier" = I2501p
In both cases (using PDF Embed or Subsetting), i couldn't print the bar codes. The Adobe Acrobat document properties
of the windows clients was showing other fonts like lucida and etc. The I2501P and X317349A are not showing up, instead
i have "Ws" and "Ns" sequences (the bar code font use this 2 letters) on the screen.
I can print the bar codes only if i use the regular Font Aliasing that i used to print the bar codes with reports 6i, but i need the fonts to
be installed on both clients and server to do that. This is not interesting anymore because the number of client increased a lot
and the clients are located on different places.
What else can I do??
Do i have to put something in the [PDF] section of uifont.ali??
This is kind of urgent. Any suggestion is accepted.
Thank you all,

Hi,
Since I saw you guys answering each other. I just posted a question regarding compiling a form from command line and thru forms builder. When I compile the fomr from forms builder it works fine. But if I compile it from command line the forms terminates abnormally with FRM-921-01. No changes were made. So, do you guys have any idea about this. Please please please help. Please.........................
Thanks,
Asha

    Go to the cache directory and see if you can open the report directly from here (not in IE).
    I have seen posts on problems with Acrobat Reader Plugin for IE (I believe it was version 6 of Reader).

  • SSRS should directly upload my report to PDF after taking parameters from user

    Hi
    I have a client requirement where 6 paramaters are declared in a report. And these parameters are explicitly entered by user who accesses the report. After entering parameters user clicks on "View Report".
    Requirement is "View Report" should directly export the report to PDF. Instead of showing it in default viewer.
    Some one please help.
    It is very critical and urgent requirement which I should complete.
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Ok, then I hope only by using the SSRS tool we can't redirect as per your requirement. Once it is rendering only we can export to few formats.
    Alternatively you can try Data Driven Subscriptions. It can directly send the PDF's. Even there is having some limitations. If your requirement is suitable within those limitations then u can use right ?
    Try it! .... All the best

  • Run big report in PDF hangs though the PDF file was created in server

    When running Oracle reports6i big master-details-details report(220 pages) in PDF format thru report server CGI on Netscape Enterprise Web server, it hangs. But the pdf file was created when checking in the server and is good when it's viewed directly using IE. Also checked the http://domain_name:8083/cgi-bin/reportcgi/showjobs?server=repsrv, the Job Status was 'FINISHED'.
    The HTTP_error_Log in the server is:
    [17/Feb/2004:13:31:42] failure (28995): for host 63.237.37.70 trying to POST /cgi-bin/reportcgi, cgieng_scan_headers reports: the CGI program /usr/netscape/elecprod/cgi-bin/reportcgi did not produce a valid header (read failed, error is Resource temporarily unavailable).
    Please help as our users demand it urgently.
    Thanks a lot.

    1) This bug734197 is fixed in version 3.0.5.13.0, which means it should be available in 6i (the version you are using) also. But from the bug description I see that it is reproduced with Reports 6.0.5.28.0 version also. If your reports 6i version is higher than this, it may contain this fix. Best thing is to apply the latest patch. The patches should be available in metalink (metalink.oracle.com) .
    2) For troubleshooting purposes run the report in html/rtf and see whether it times out. ( just to see whether
    this is a PDF specific issue)
    3) Disable acrobat web integration (in Adobe acrobat settings) and try . This will prevent Acrobat reader from opening the pdf automatically and instead will show a dialog to save the pdf report ( There are some IE - Adobe issues which are not reports bugs).
    4) There were some threads some time back which had this problem with long running reports and PDF. Finally it turned out to be webserver timeout problems. Pls see ( this is for 9i servlet and Apache webserver, but for 6i also it could be similar)
    Re: Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be foun
    5) If these does not work and if you are not able to make further progress, I suggest you to get in touch with Oracle Support (if you have a support contract) to solve this issue. [ If the possibility is that the bug you are mentioning is not pushed forward to 6i (a remote chance) then only they will be able to a get a oneoff patch.]
    Thanks

  • Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

    Dear All,
    I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
    Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
    quote form.
    I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
    1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
    xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
    2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
    var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
    alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
    3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
    Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.

  • Exporting a Report to PDF

    Post Author: helfrich
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I am re-writing a VB6 app to VB.NET 2005.  I have a viewer control that I use to display the reports in when I want to preview the report on the screen.  The VB6 app can also automatically export reports to PDF format silently (no user input or screen output).  I would like to do the same in VB.NET.  In the VB6 app, I simply set the viewer control's ExportOptions.PDFExportAllPages = True (I also set the DiskFileName FormatType, and DestinationType parameters).  I then display the form containing the viewer with the .Hide parameter.  This exports the report without displaying the report on the screen.  I have not been able to find any information that allows me to do the same thing in .NET with Crystal Reports XI.
    I have tried creating a ReportDocument object, but when I execute .Export(), I get a "Missing parameter values" error - absolutely no other information.
    For example:
    Dim crExportOptions As New ExportOptions
    Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
    Dim crFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
    Dim crReport As New ReportDocument
    crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\Test.PDF"
    crExportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = crFormatTypeOptions
    crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestiniationType.DiskFile
    crExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
    crExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions
    crReport.Load("C:\Test.rpt")
    crReport.Export(crExportOptions)
    This is where the error occurs.
    I also tried setting Viewer.Visible = False followed by Viewer.ExportReport().  The viewer does not display, but this prompts for the export filename.  The whole idea is for the export to be completely invisible to the user.
    I don't care which solution I use:
    1.  How can I get rid of the "Missing parameter values" error using the ReportDocument
    or
    2. Is there a way I can use .ExportReport(), but preset the export filename so there is not prompt?
    TIA for any help anyone can offer.

    Here's a snippet of code from one of my recent projects that should offer some help.
            Dim crOrderPrintout As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = New rptPublicOrder
      u2018clear the dataset, give it the appropriate parameters and fill the data adapter
            Me.dsReceiptDetails.Clear()
            Me.SqlSelectReceiptDetails.Parameters.Item("@ReceiptID").Value = sReceiptID
            Me.daReceiptDetails.Fill(Me.dsReceiptDetails)
            u2018set the data source and paper size for the report
            crOrderPrintout.SetDataSource(Me.dsReceiptDetails.Tables(0))
            crOrderPrintout.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperLetter
      u2018These are the printing options, Printer, File or Viewer
            Select Case My.Settings.PrintType
                Case "Printer"
                    crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
                Case "Viewer"
                    Dim frmReportViewer As New frmReportViewer
                    frmReportViewer.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crOrderPrintout
                    frmReportViewer.ShowDialog()
                Case "File"
                    crOrderPrintout.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\test.pdf")
                Case Else
                    crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
            End Select
      u2018close the report
            crOrderPrintout.Close()
    The file option will print directly to a file without prompting the user.  As for the missing parameter values if I had to guess either it's the dataset missing a parameter or the report requires a value.  Example:
    crOrderPrintout.SetParameterValue("ParamName", sParamValue)

  • Report in PDF format and email it to some clients, using  Database Trigger

    Hi
    Is it possible to run a report in PDF format ad email it to some clients after a specific event through Database Trigger. For example whenever a client makes an entry into order entry table (through entry form), a trigger should execute on Orders table, this trigger should execute or generate a PDF formatted report and finally mail it to Sales team?

    As i have gone through many forums for this topic, but creating a plugin code for generating Report PDF is not possible in CRM ONLINE.
    So, What is the alternate way to do this..?
    Thanks.

    Hi ,
    One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
    Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
    If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
    Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

  • Saving report as PDF and text file

    Currently, I saved my report as PDF. It opens in Acrobat reader automatically when the report is executed. Is there a way for me to save it as PDF and as a text file at the same time? (without having to open the file in Acrobat reader and saving it)

    You can add your PDF and TEXT file formats to a distribution list (Instead of GENERATE REPORT TO A FILE). To do this:
    1. Go to your Object Navigator and highlight your report.
    2. Right click on your report. Select Property Palette.
    3. Select Distribution
    4. You can add of of the formats that you want to print or save to the report to.
    5. You will have to add Distribution Id (any number starting with 1) where you want the file to be saved (c:\my_reports\inventory.pdf), the type of file: PDF and how many copies you want: 2
    6. Click OK after finishing...
    To make it work ... You would highlight your report from your Object Navigator and then choose FILE-DISTRIBUTE and this will save it to all the files your specified and/or printer.

  • Converting report to PDF and mailing

    Hi every one,
    I've gone through various threads and i'm aware of the Functional module's used to
    convert the report to pdf and mail it back.Like CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF and for mailing we have SEND_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
    I've worked with this but my problem is i'm not able to convet the report output to pdf.When i'm doing this i'm getting the output of my functional module converted to pdf like the number of header and item records available for the given data in the selection screen.
    Since all the threads i've gone through is converting the single internal table which has the output to pdf.
    But i've got the REUSE_ALV_HIERSQL_LIST_DISPLAY, hierarchial report which as known has got two internal tables.How to the same to this kind of report....More over is it possible to convert report to pdf in online without transfering it to spool and getting the spool id to convert it to pdf.........
    Any help or suggestions will surely be rewarded......
    Thanks in Advance.....

    Here is the complete code for you;
    It Converts spool request into PDF document and emails it.

  • Generating Report in PDF Format.

    Hi All,
    How can I configure Report Server to generate all my Reports in PDF Destination Format? I am using Oracle 10g.
    In 6i, it used to be FORMS60_REPFORMAT parameter. Is there any equivalant in 10g? Where can I set it? or Is there any other way to configure Report Server?
    I may set desformat in rp2rro.pll but I would like to have it at Report Server level.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    If you want to run all your reports using a generic file, then use web.show_document within Forms and set your desformat for each report in the cgicmd.dat file (in Oracle_home/reports/conf directory) on the App Server.
    Please be warned that any change to this file will require bouncing the report server (or the app server as I sometimes find it doesn't always pick up the changes).

  • Publish report as PDF to a network folder

    I'll take a chance and post this query here. We have been using Discoverer for 9+ years, against Oracle Financials. Most of our users are not that computer savy, and would rather have the report in a simple PDF or HTML format, delivered to their network folder, that they can look at for their budget information. What tool should person use to accomplish this?

    Hi,
    We can send reports in PDF format to a network folder using Interactive Reporting 9.3.1. Here is how I did it few months ago...
    1.From your server, map the external drive to your server. \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports
    2. Have a Domain account, example 'Hyp system' in MS Active Directory just for this purpose. Note: This account should have 'write' privilege to the folder created on network drive.
    On the server, Hyperion services have 'Log On As' type 'Local System'. Change 'Log On As' type to your domain account
    3.
    1) create a output directory 'ODTest' as physical resource with path \\rio.company.com\winserver\hypreports\
    2)import the 'file as job' in Interactive Reporting
    3)add a schedule with action 'Export' and choose the output directory
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    regards,
    Usha
