  • 1.  webi reports export to pdf

    Posted Apr 02, 2014 09:26 PM
    Hi, We have around 10 webi reports. When reports are run, we have option to export data into excel/pdf. Export to excel works fine (I mean whole data from the report is exported into excel) but export to pdf exports only partial data. This is happening only on few reports. Any idea what is happening? how can I make sure all data gets exported into PDF? I can see the full report output into pop-up window. Issue is only in export to pdf option. Any clue? Regards Vinod Jadhav

    Hi Vinod.

          We've found the success of Webi 'Export To' and 'Save As' vary system to system. The variables are enterprise security settings, browser security settngs & browser compatabilies. BOBJ 3.1 is a 5 year old technology now - as time moves on there is even less we can control.

         For PDFs we train our users to click on View --> PDF to have Webi create the PDF in the Webi Viewer interface. From there, we have the users use the PDF Viewer's 'Save As' capability. This eliminates all random issues. We use Adobe for PDFs in our Enterprise.
