Webi Report - Control Export to PDF

All,
I have a webi report in BOXI 3.1. It is a simple report with a few sections.
When viewed in Infoview/Java Report Panel - the entire report is in a single page.
Our problem is that when we export this to PDF - the pdf file has multiple pages - i have tried using options like " avoid page break in section" etc for section properties but no avail.
Can you please advise if this is expected behavior? I would ideally like to have a single pdf with one page.
Regards

Select your Report and then go to Properties of the report
Click the Plus sign next to Page layout and uncheck start on new page.
If you are using section then you will have to select the section and then do the same.

Hide a report in a WebI doc when exporting to PDF

Hi everyone,
I have a Web Intelligence document that has a "Data Only" report in it. This is a tab that is for the purpose of exporting the data in the report to excel without formatting and grouping in it so that the user can easily manipulate the data in excel without the need of cleaning up all of the formatted groups.
When I choose "Save to my computer as..." and choose PDF, is there a way to exclude this report from exporting into the PDF? Likewise if I choose to export to XLS, I need to have the tab (report) included in the excel export.
Thanks,
Chad

Chad,
There are two ways to run a report, either via Infoview (which around here we call that "Read-Only" mode), and via Java (or Modify Mode). So, the answer to your question is "maybe yes" and "no". Definitely "no" if you're processing in read-only mode. If you process in Modify mode and click on "Save to My Computer As", then also "no". If you click on the "Print" icon, then you'll notice a slightly different dialogue screen, and it is on this dialogue screen that you see more specifications in terms of pages to print and report, etc. So the technique would be to first navigate to the tab you're interested in saving as a PDF, then click on the Print icon, go through the dialogue screen, and once you click OK you'll get one more menu, asking to either "Open", "Save" or "Cancel". If you click open you're report (the current tab only) will appear in an Adobe screen and if you click save than instead of Adobe opening you'll just send the PDF right to the hard drive.
Hopefully this clears up the air for you and you can now see the options at hand.
Thanks,
John

Scheduling a webi report and export the result in PDF on local disk

I'm working with the new SDK to schedule a report and export its result on my local c:\ hard disk drive. My code give no errors at run but I do not find the file on my root.
The Instance counter of the report increase each time, so there is a refresh.
Is something wrong in the following lines? I just follow the examples give in the documentation for scheduling.
Thanks in advance !
Here is my code :
               Destinations oDestinations = Destinations.Factory.newInstance();
               Destination[] oDestination = new Destination[1];
               oDestination[0] = Destination.Factory.newInstance();
               oDestination[0].setName("CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged");
               DiskUnmanagedScheduleOptions diskOptions = DiskUnmanagedScheduleOptions.Factory.newInstance();
               String[] destinationFile = new String[1];
               destinationFile[0] = "c:\\" + report_name + ".pdf";
               DestinationFiles destinationFiles = DestinationFiles.Factory.newInstance();
               destinationFiles.setDestinationFileArray(destinationFile);
               diskOptions.setDestinationFiles(destinationFiles);
               oDestination[0].setDestinationScheduleOptions(diskOptions);
               oDestinations.setDestinationArray(oDestination);
               System.out.println("Getting report...");
               ResponseHolder respons = this.platform.get("path://InfoObjects/<path to report>/" + report_name, null);
               InfoObjects reports = respons.getInfoObjects();
               if (reports == null)
                    return;
               Webi myReport = (Webi)reports.getInfoObjectArray()[0];
               System.out.println("Getting scheduling info...");
               SchedulingInfo schedulingInfo = myReport.getSchedulingInfo();
               boolean newSchedulingInfo = false;
               if (schedulingInfo == null)
                    schedulingInfo = SchedulingInfo.Factory.newInstance();
                    newSchedulingInfo = true;

                    webiProcessingInfo = WebiProcessingInfo.Factory.newInstance();
               WebiFormatOptions webiReportFormatOptions = webiProcessingInfo.getWebiFormatOptions();
               if(webiReportFormatOptions == null)
                    webiReportFormatOptions = WebiFormatOptions.Factory.newInstance();
               System.out.println("Setting Format...");
               webiReportFormatOptions.setFormat(WebiFormatEnum.PDF);
               webiProcessingInfo.setWebiFormatOptions(webiReportFormatOptions);

Hi Jerome,
I have gon ethrough your code again and there we are missing the destination plugin.
We have to query the info store to get the disk unmanaged plugin.
Below is the code
IDestinationPlugin destPlugin = null; //Destination plugin returned by InfoStore Query
        IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions = null; //Object returned by the getSchedulingOptions() method
        List listDestination = null; //List object to hold destination file location
        IDestination destination = null; //Destination Interface
        //retrieve the Scheduling Options and cast it as IDiskUnmanagedOptions
        //This interface is the one which allows us to add the file location
        //for the scheduling
          for(int i = 0; i< oInfoObjects.getResultSize();i++)
           oInfoObject = (IInfoObject) oInfoObjects.get(i);
           destPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)iStore.query( "SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_PARENTID=29 and SI_NAME='CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
          diskUnmanagedOptions = (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
        listDestination = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
          String dest = "c:\\";
        listDestination.add (dest + oInfoObject.getTitle()+".pdf");
          schedInfo = oInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
        schedInfo.setRightNow(true);
        schedInfo.setType(CeScheduleType.ONCE);
        //retrieve the IDestination interface from the SchedulingInfo object
        //use the setFromPlugin() to apply the changes we made to the
        //IDestinationPlugin object returned from the IStore
        destination = schedInfo.getDestination();
        destination.setFromPlugin(destPlugin);
          iStore.schedule(oInfoObjects);

Can the Performance Detail reports be exported as PDF without the Detail Table?

We previously generated significant numbers of Performance Detail reports out of SCOM 2007 R2 as PDF files, and the 'Detail Table' did not show.
Now that we are on SCOM 2012 R2, the same reports show the 'Detail Table' when exported to PDF. We report on 6 to 12 months of data, so these tables are huge, and are also useless for our purposes.
Is there some way to suppress the Detail Table when exporting a Performance Detail report to PDF?

Hello,
Please see if the method in the following post can meet your requirements:

Formatting and alignment issues in Crystal Reports when exported to PDF

Hi Experts,
When we export the crystal reports 2013 reports to PDF we are facing issues with formatting and alignment. The columns are overlapping and also for some column's data, we are able to see only some parts of text when exported to PDF.
Data source for these reports is EHP 7 (SAP ECC 6.0), BO 4.1, Crystal reports 2013.
As these reports are on priority, your help and suggestions are much appreciated.
Looking forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay.

Charts not showing up in CSV file when a webi report is exported

We have a webi report with charts. When it is exported to Excel its working fine, but when it is exported to CSV it is not displaying charts. Please suggest if any preference needs to be changed at the Launch pad level or Is it the limitation with CSV Files?

Hi Siva,
CSV files are not meant for charts. You can't even make any charts in a simple csv file (EXCEL).
So I think you can only export Charts to normal Excel files.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Webi reports - Problem exporting to excel

HI,
I have exported a webi report as an excel file. The report contains a column with numeric values preceded by a dollar sign. After exporting to excel, i want to calculate the sum of the values in that column. However some cells show a numeric value, while some others show string value (i.e. text) because of which I am not being able to calculate the sum. Please help.

Hi there,
Is the object that you are exporting with the dollar sign a string? If so then this is normal because it is not numeric. I tried the workflow in Excel and wen I try to apply a sum, it seems to change one of the values from string to numeric but this is within excel. Maybe this is happening to you too. In order to be able to add a calculation correctly, you need to change the object to a numeric. You can do this by creating a new variable in webi, removing the $ and converting it to a numeric. For Ex: "=ToNumber(Substr([dollar string object];2;10))". Note, if you still want the $ to appear, you can use the format number feature.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
BW Web Publisher Toolbar
The version of the toolbar that you use with the Web Publisher, depends on whether you store the Web templates on the BW server or the ITS server (see Determining Path and ITS Settings).
If you have chosen the ITS as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
Symbol
Function
Create new ITS Web template
You use this function to create a new Web template.
Check out ITS Web Template
You use this function to check out an ITS Web template, and store it locally. Storing the ITS Web template locally, means that you are able to change it, by adding a new item, for example. You either overwrite the old ITS Web template, or create a new one. You have to store the new ITS template under a new name.
Check in ITS Web Template
The ITS Web template is checked in, and saved in the BW system.
Publish to ITS
The ITS Web template is stored on the ITS you select.
Display Web template in the Browser
The Web template that has been checked in and published on the ITS, is displayed in the Web Browser.
Copy HTML tag to clipboard
You use this function to save the item as an HTML tag on the clipboard.
Wizard
This function takes you to the Web Publisher Wizard.
See also:
Creating Web Reports with the Web Publisher Wizard
If you have chosen BW as the server, the toolbar has the following functions:
The publish function is deactivated, because it is only used in conjunction with ITS Web templates. The other symbols have the same functions as described in the above table, but they refer instead to Web templates that are stored on the BW server.
Views
The saved query views that the Web reports are based on, are displayed in the Views field. You use the Switch Workbook button to get to the Open dialog, where you open queries in other workbooks.
Items
The items that are already available for the view you have chosen are displayed in the Items field.
Choose New Item to create a new item, and to specify the item type used (map, chart, table, navigation block, and so on).
Choose Change Attribute to determine the value of the highlighted attribute for the item you have chosen.
Choose Save item to save the item you have been editing.
Choose Delete item to delete the selected item.
Properties of the Current Item
In the Properties of the current item field, the attributes that correspond to the item type you have selected are displayed. Depending on the type of attribute, you activate or deactivate attributes by double-clicking on the relevant attribute, and you determine the value of the attribute with either a double-click, or by choosing the Change Attribute... function.
You can convert the spool to PDF using the program RSTXPDFT5 or
using the fun module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
then you can mail it to others using the fun module
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Crystal Reports 2008 export to PDF does not render Japanese fonts

Hello,
I have searched the forums for this issue, and there does not seem to be a clear resolution to this problem. We are using CR2008 to create RPT files that are bundled with our custom .NET 2005 application, which then generates reports in PDF format by running the RPT files against an access mdb database using the CR2008 runtime (our application is deployed on a different machine than the one that is used to create the RPT files). The issue we are having occurs when data in the access mdb file contains Strings with Japanese characters. The system that our application is running on does contain the eastern asian language fonts so if a user opens the mdb file using access, they can see the Unicode strings in the database rendered properly (rather than the usual boxes and garbage). However, once our application generates the report filling in the rpt file with data from the mdb and exporting the report to pdf format, the entries that should contain Japanese font data, which leads me to believe the problem is in the export pdf function of the crystal reports 2008 runtime. Is there anyway we can configure the runtime to properly embed the fonts in the PDF so that the users can view the Japanese content from the database. Our users end up viewing reports on both OSX and Windows using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for the quick reply!
1) Exact version of Crystal Reports. (Open Crystal Developer. Go to Help> About Crystal Reports).
12.0.0.683
Type: Full
2) What happens if you export the report to PDF format from the standalone Crystal Reports Designer?
Same result. The entry shows up as giberish in the report designer preview...however, by doing this I stumbled upon something. See below
3) Are you able to export the report to other formats without any issue?
See Note below
NOTE:
In another part of the report, I just put the fields in question directly in the report (that is, not embedded in a text object). That part of the report when run produces the correct non-gibberish, properly rendered Japanese result (in the CR designer preview). The same field, however, when embedded in a text object, results in the gibberish being shown in the designer preview as well.
Now when I export this to PDF, that ends up turning both areas into the incorrect, gibberish result. Both the one that did properly render in the preview (field not embedded in text object) and the one in the text object.
Exporting to any other format (tried xls, rtf and html) results in correct rendering for the field not embedded in the text object and incorrect rendering for the field embedded in a text object.
Hope this helps with the problem, and I think it means this thread probably still belongs under this current forum.

BI publisher report cannot export to PDF on client machine

Hello,
I have created a report in BI Publisher and it exports perfectly to PDF and other formats on our machine. However when I download the files and send it to the client they are unable to export the report to any of the formats. I have not been able to reproduce the issue and hence becoming difficult to identify where the problem might be. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DRL

sorry i misunderstood you
Once the client upload the files they can view the report in interactive format but not in PDF or any other format.
ok step by step
Once the client upload the files
yes. as result client have file in pdf format on local machine
they can view the report in interactive format
interactive format ? sorry i don't know about it
but not in PDF
if client has pdf report why client can't view it as pdf ? may be client hasn't any pdf viewer ?
or any other format.
from pdf?
in general what are you talking about?
about BIP Server or may be OBIEE
how your question relate to BIP ?

Web Reporting - Converting HTML to PDF and displaying

Does any know of a method to convert the html data stream to a PDF format so it may be returned to the browser for printing?

i created an Help Service which can convert the current Web Application State to Pdf and it displays it automatical in the browser window. Charts and all the other stuff is also converted.
This is only on-top of a complex PDF Framework which offers features you request for example.
Batch support. Load balancing. Stylesheet support. Report Books. There are Convenience Classes in ABAP which support Template ID in PDF-Bytestream out. Sent PDF as mail. publish to Portal. Information Broadcasting integration etc.
the advatnage of this solution is that the conversion is performed on the Server and not on the client which means you need only one license, and not for each client...
i hope this helps.
best regards.

Integration bug with BI Publisher - Excel report always exports as PDF

Hi,
We think we found an APEX bug within the integration with BI Publisher.
After defining a Report Query (under Shared Components) to be exported to excel format, we copy the
generated link inside an APEX application and when user requests the report it
always returns a PDF file, instead of an excel as defined in the Report Query.
We're using APEX version 3.0.0.00.20. No way to make customer upgrade or apply any patch.
Does anybody have any workaround?
Many thanks
Josep
Edited by: [email protected] on Sep 1, 2008 12:56 PM

Hi,
No, I cannot reproduce it because this bug seems to be solved on latest versions. I think this is just a bug for eralier versions. We cannot upgrade version because we have other applications in production already and we cannot assume the risk of breaking them. Is there any workaround?

Josep

Crystral reports viewer activex control 11.5 - export to pdf - misaligned

good morning
i have been advised to post here for a better response
i have a slight issue im trying to get an answer for with crystral reports viewer activex control 11.5
when exporting data from the report on screen to pdf, everything is mostly ok except for some lines which are not correctly aligned with everything else
when i do a print instead to software such as primopdf, the alignment is fine, its exactly as it looks on the onscreen report, howeverm primopdf is unable to print the whole report due to a control error & it also takes far too long exporting the data out of crystal reports
obviously, getting the activex control export to pdf working is the preferred option, else why bother using it
has anyone else had similar issues & what did you do to resolve?
i wouldnt be suprised if the answer is simply to update to the latest version
Thank You & Regards,

Well, perhaps not the latest version, but certainly the latest Service Pack would be the place to start. For CR XI r2 (11.5), the latest SP can be downloaded from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006255422008E/crxir2_sp4_inc.exe
If that does not help, have a look at [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d3639373635463644364636343635334433393339333832363639373635463733363137303645364637343635373335] kbase.
Now, the above was created for CR 10.2, so the registry for CR XI r2 is:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 11.5crystal reports.
You may have to create the "Export" folder and PDF folder so that this looks as:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 11.5crystal reportsexportpdf
Now, Right-click the pdf sub key and click New > DWORD Value. Name the DWORD value "ForceLargerFonts" and set it to the value of 1.
Restart IIS, and try the application again.
If this does not help, let me know if this is a web or a win app.
