Using FOP for generating PDF report

Hi,
I followed the otn article for generating pdf files uing FOP.
But I was unable to do so. When I debugged it I found that when the javascript tries to get the XMLFO output from htmldb it gets a blank xml output. I tried to use the exact same url the java script uses ( I got the url by using alerts in java script) I got back an empty xml file.
I am using htmldb 2.0 on 9.2.0.5.
Can any one point me to the right direction
thanks
amit

Hi,
I am using iAS 1.0.2.2.2 (Jserv) it is an Oracle Applications Environment.
I finished the whole note.
1. Downloaded the FOP jar files.
2. Unzipped the jar files in the JAVA_TOP of the Applications environment
3. JAVA_TOP is already in the class path of the jserv
4. Added the jsp file to the correct directory
5. Created the htmdb application with the java script
6. I put some debugging alerts in the java script
Now when I click on the pdf link I don't get any output. Because of the debugging statement in the java script I was able to figure out that the java script is not getting any output when it calls back the htmldb for the XML FOP outout.
I finally tried the URL which the java script uses directly. It came back with an empty xml file.
thanks
amit

Use FOP to generate PDF

Hi:
I downloaded the FOP and followed the instruction and had it working on my test box (laptop with windows XP/Oracle10g DB/HtmlDB standalone(no app server)). However, I encountered a java error when I tried to deploy it to Linux box (RedHat ES/Oracle10G DB/HtmlDB standalone(no app server)). The error message is:

Any help is appreciated.

I have the same problem with FOP. The problem come from xerces.jar , xalan.jar versions needed by FOP. Weblogic load a previously version of this jar file.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using JRC ?

Hi,
Good Day !
How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Java Reporting Component (JRC) in desktop (Swing thick-client) ?
My GUI program will generate a RPT report, then i can export to PDF file, this is ok, no problem.
BUT
i want it direct to generate a PDF report, not a RPT report.
The code like below (2 java files)
ClassA.java
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(XXX, 0);
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "XXX", DomainClass.getXXX());
new ReportViewerFrame(reportClientDoc);
// End of ClassA.java
// Begin ReportViewerFrame.java
public class ReportViewerFrame extends JFrame
       //Initial window frame properties.
     private final int XPOS = 80;
     private final int YPOS = 60;
     private final int WIDTH = 760;
     private final int HEIGHT = 550;
     private ReportViewerBean reportViewer = new ReportViewerBean();
     private ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
     public ReportViewerFrame(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws    Exception
          //Initialize frame properties.
          this.setResizable(true);
          this.setLocation(XPOS, YPOS);
          this.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
          this.setTitle("Crystal Report Java Viewer");
          //Add GUI components to the frame including the ReportViewerBean.
          addComponents();
          //Add GUI listeners to the frame.
          addListeners();
          //Set the report that the ReportViewerBean will display.
          this.reportClientDoc = reportClientDoc;
          reportViewer.setReportSource(reportClientDoc.getReportSource());
          reportViewer.init();
          reportViewer.start();
          //Display the frame.
          this.setVisible(true);
How to set the export option to PDF base on existing code ?
Where can i download this package/jar ?

Please find a console app that you can extend it to a JFrame app by importing the relevant swing package:

and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...

How to generate pdf report in swing

Hello,

i want to generate pdf report in my swing based project but i don't know about any idea of this report generating
procedure . Please help me.

Hello,

1) Add an upper case letter to the start of each sentence. This helps the reader to scan the text quickly, looking for the important parts. It also helps to dispel the impression that the writer is just lazy.
2) Try to do some research on your own, summarise it and state any conclusions you have reached. Ask a specific question and generally, try not to sound so pathetic.

I want BI Publisher to generate a PDF file, where some fields have been populated from our datasource, and others can still be filled in by the user in as fields.
Is this possible using BI Publisher?

Hi,
I have a similar complication here. There seem to be problems in
the report builder that calculate wrong coordinaces, sizes, etc.
For example if I insert an image and resize it in a report, the
PDF output is really nice. But the RTF file is a complete
nonsense. Nether the size, not the position of the image is
correct :((
I am looking for solutions, but I have no idea about these
problems.
On the other hand I cannot embed a font in a PDF. Finally I
cannot use any of the mechanisms for generating web reports -
the PDFs have no cyrillic characters, the RTFs cannot display
images correctly. The HTML/HTMLCSS are not solution for
paging/controlling the printing output... Any ideas for help?
Thanks.

Generating PDF Reports

I have a requirement to generate PDF reports through a java application.
Is iText the preferred solution to do this or can anyone recommend a better alternative?
Thanks.

You should also consider apache FOP as it uses open standards. I haven't personally used FOP or iText though so I can't comment on which is "better".

Generating PDF Report and Mailing from APEX through DBMS_SCHEDULER job

Hi,
We have a requirement to generate pdf reports and mail them from our apex app through a DBMS_SCHEDULER job. The DBMS_SCHEDULER job calls a PL/SQL procedure which has the logic for calling the APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT API (Function Signature 3) passing the application_id, the report_query_name and the report_layout_name to generate the pdf report output. The APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT call is returning NULL when called from the DBMS_SCHEDULER job (It doesn't throw any exception as well!). But the same procedure when called from an APEX App Page Process that is invoked on an event like a Button click, the API returns the PDF report output.
I am also setting the APEX workspace security_group_id at the beginning of the PL/SQL procedure as follows:
l_workspace_id := apex_util.find_security_group_id (p_workspace => 'MY_WORKSPACE');
apex_util.set_security_group_id (p_security_group_id => l_workspace_id);
Any idea on what might be going wrong? Any alternative ways to generate the report output in the PL/SQL procedure?
Thanks & Regards,
Sujesh K K

I was able to do a workaround for this issue by rebooting the DB.
As per ID 579281.1, this is a bug in 11.1.0.6 and we need to upgrade the version to 11.1.0.7 or apply a one -off patch.
Thanks,
