Wide report, no printer

Crystal Reports XI
Hi,
I want to create a wide report for export to Excel. I don't want to print a paper copy. How can I specify a wide "page"?
If I select a printer I am limited by paper size that it supports (I've got an A3 printer but even landscape this is not wide enough).
In page setup I can tick the "No Printer" option but this doesn't seem to help.
Depending on which of my printers I choose, I can sometimes select "Custom Size" for the paper but there is nowhere to specify how big I want the page, just the margin size.
I've stared at this for ages (and searched the forum for a solution); feeling that I must be overlooking something stupidly obvious - someone please put me out of my misery.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That helps.
If I clear the "No Printer" check box then I can select a printer and set its preferences to use a custom page size.
The choice of size seems to be specific to the printer model. I've got a few to choose from. One printer doesn't have option for custom page size; others have option for custom size but it is limited (some only a bit bigger than A4). The biggest I have found is a printer which allows custom size up to approx 431 x 594 mm. This is big enough for my current project. (Hurrah!)
I'm a bit surprised that I couldn't easily set "no printer" and then pick a really huge page width if I wanted it - say 50cm, or even 100cm.
Anyway. Sorted for now. Thanks again for your help (and speed with which you replied).
Cheers.
Martin.

  • Wide Report printing issue

    Hello everyone,
    I have a wide report in pdf and spreadsheet format. It has too many columns. It does not even fit on a legal size paper. I am using reports 10g to develop this report.
    When I print the pdf format on legal paper, the report is shrunk to fit the page and the fonts are really small. Do you know of anyway to print this report on 2 separate pages side by side instead of one page? Or do you have any ideas on how to make this report print better with a font that is easily readable?
    Thanks

    Brandon,
    Thanks for your input.
    Not sure how I can use it to narrow down the problem though. I ran it, and I see that the printers are correctly identified, the default one is correctly found, however absolutely nothing is being printed out (I typed a text in the string control, and the Print control was on).
    Everything runs with no errors. I would prefer to see a bunch of errors ...

  • Change Maintenance Work Order Detail Report in Print WO page

    Hello,
    I would like to ask you for your help. We would like to have different report in Print WO function than Maintenance Work Order Detail Report. I mean SSM responsibility > Search for WOs > click Print WO icon. We applied patch #9871500 (I found it there: Templates associated to datadefinitions other than 'EAMWRREP' are not shown in the Work Order Detail report in EAM [ID 1209703.1]). I did personalizations steps - I defined new data definition (for example TEST) and report with data definition TEST is shown in the option on Print WO page now... But how should I it define to have correct result? What should be defined in Executable, Concurrent Program, Data Definition and Data Template? I have RDF and RTF files for this report. We are using different SQL than it is used in the original report. How could be used our SQL defined in RDF?
    Thanks, Regards,

    Hi,
      1) You can choose to select and Print shop paper when you need.No enhancement is required.
    2) There is not an option in standard to say Print/Not print Long text . You will have to replace the standard form with a custom form and build the logic to print /Not Print long text based on your rules.

    Even If we click on Export button on demand sub report easily export to pdf or any formate the issue while we print it.
    It going to hanged while we print on demand sub report with more than one page.

  • Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

    Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
    doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
    All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
    I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
    Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?

  • Crystal Report XI Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

    Hi,
    I have designed report in Crystal XI using paper sieze Letter. Multipler sites are using this application. User in USA are using Letter size paper and User in Euorpe are using A4 size paper. All reports work fine for USA users.
    When Eurpoe users print the report on A4 size paper which set in Letter size, the report is truncated from Header or footer. They are printing report from Application and application is set on Citix server.
    If Anybody have any idea how to setup Crystal report so it can print on any paper size?
    Thanks
    Bhagvat

    Hi Don,
    Please find the below description.
    Background: Crystal Report XI is utilized to develop and view reports with data source from Oracle based LIMS application (Vendor: LabWare). The reports are printed using network printer on US Letter paper for users located in North America and on A4 paper for users located in Europe. The report format is US Letter and designed to print on both paper formats i.e. Letter and A4.
    Issue: When reports are printed by users in Europe using A4 format paper the printer defaults to US Letter paper (in printer preferences) resulting to data cut off from top and bottom on the printout.
    1)      When report layout is select to A4 during developing reports using CR, the printing preferences changes to A4 when printed and vice versa for Letter format. How can we avoid CR to enforce from changing printing preferences?
    2)     According to Citrix engineers in the company, the printer drivers installed on Citrix servers have nothing to do with printing preferences and CR defaults to paper size based on report design. What do we tell them about doing different to resolve this issue?
    3)    Even though a printer preference of default printer on local desktop is changed to A4, the report gets printed to Letter format result in data cutoff.  We have tried this option with several HP printers from few different company locations.
    Thanks
    Bhagvat

  • Windows 2003 reports server. printing direct to printer

    has anyone got any ideas on the best method/practice for allowing database to submit a print job direct to printer.
    we have a forms environment, 10g, and users can run reports which allow them to select parameters, then print to screen, from which point they can then print manually or save, but we also have a need to submit jobs under the bonnet so to speak, ie. trigger event takes place in the database, send print to printer. note, the print being sent is pdf format.
    many thanks
    jb

    I'm exploring options for the same requirement. There appear to be 2 utilities available - Reports J2EE thin client and Reports Remote Printing Utility (orarrp). ORARRP is more for a forms/reports environment. Do a search in Metalink for ORARRP and you'll find several threads with documentation links. Unfortunately both utilities require client installs. Good luck!

  • Xml report to print AR invoices to multiple companies

    Hi,
    can anyone help me to work on this issue, I need to Develop one XMLP report that prints AR invoices for multiple companies, and multiple invoices for each company.
    It will be thankful, if anyone help me to come out of this issue. I need it urgently
    Thanks

    Hi
    Are you working in EBusiness Suite or another ERP app? IF so then there are already invoice reports built out of the box that you can use quite quickly.
    If not then you need to find out from your users what they want to see on the invoice, then map that to the columns in tables and then write the query to extract the data.

  • ABAP list report wont print on Z device type with Z format

    Our developer have created a report which outputs data in ABAP list format and the standard format would not fit. We have since created a custom format and copied a device type in to custom device type. So we now have a custom format and custom device type. However when we print, it spools correctly and shows as green but the report wont print. The only thing that gets printed is
    "Sort criteria         AscdgDescndSubtotalGRAND  TOTAL  :               X                X     PROJ" "
    The abap list format is Z_100_500. Basically the report has 450 columns and hence we created this format.
    I am not sure what this means. I have been advised by SAP to follow instruction on note 17895 - Adapting print list formats for customers however i cant fully comprehend point 5 of the note and I believe this is why it wont print. Has anyone adapted ABAP list using this note. Can you please let me know how i should go about printer initialisation mentioned in the noted.
    We have checked everything however dont seem to get around the issue. Any ideas will be appreciated

  • Report Spool Printing Font Change

    Hello All,
    While printing the spool request created by ABAP report(ALV)  print document is not much clear due to small font , is there any technique to change the font size while printing the spool request or any technique to print horizontal line between each row into spool like vertical line between each column so that it can be understandable.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Chudamani Gavel

    In my case, I found that SAP was calculating the max line size for the printout, based on the maximum possible number of output columns, as determined from the field catalog.  That resulted in SAP setting 512 and reducing the font on landscape output to the point that a microscope was needed!  I fixed by limiting the output of some columns (splitting texts into multiple rows of ALV, along with the essential key fields), and setting my max line size to 200.  The resulting printout is small, but still readable.
    layout - max_linesize = 200.
    check also:
    gt_print-no_change_print_params = 'X'  (of type slis_print_alv).  "don't allow SAP to change what is set in job or in background submission

  • Scheduling a report to print to a specific printer tray

    I'm trying to schedule a report to print to a specific tray on a specific printer.
    The SDK permits me to specify the printer, using ReportPrinterOptions, but it just seems to always print to the default tray for each printer and there are no ways, that I've found, to specify a particular paper tray to print from.
    Normally this isn't an issue, but we have a client that has a special report that prints to special paper that's always available in the secondary tray of the printer.
    Have I missed something obvious here?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    You didn't specify the version of Crystal Reports you're using, the version of Visual Studio you're using, or which .NET SDK you're using. Assuming you're CR XI R2 (v11.5) with VS2003/VS2005 and the CR.NET SDK (reportdocument object) then you're looking for the CustomPaperSource property off of the PrintOptions class.
    You can search the forums for additional posts, but I found this one - [Setting PaperSource|Re: Setting PaperSource;. There may be others.
    You can also find information in the [CR XI R2 Developer Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]. Search on CustomPaperSource.
    There is a tutorial available under the [PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource Property|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/crsdk_net_doc/doc/crsdk_net_doc/html/crlrfCrystalDecisionsCrystalReportsEnginePrintOptionsCustomPaperSourceTopic.htm] search result.
    This should get you back on track.
