I want to print data with two columns in crystal report. For example:
enter image description here
But the problem is, I cannot create columns in crystal report. I followed the instructions like Right Click in Section Details then tick the Format Multiple Columns checkbox then adjust the Gap and detail size in Layout Tab. However, only 1 column has been created.
enter image description here
I am using the Crystal Report built in in Visual Basic.Net 2008. Thank you very much.
Probably due to page margins, page size, detail width and gap, the content can't fit as 2 columns.
Use File, Page Setup to adjust those aspects.
Another suspect is that you never actually previewed the report.
The multi-column layout is rendered during Preview.
So you must actually run the report.
I am using Crystal report for showing report. I have set a common background color for the report. But in the details section has only one row, then that row has the background color which I set. The remaining portion is shown as a white background.
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but it seems you want to change the background color of the entire report at once?
If so, I don't know if that's possible. Crystal doesn't give us an easy way to do that.
You will have to change the color of each section one by one to accomplish what you need.
Here is how:
1) Right click on the report, then go to 'Section Expert', then 'Color' and pick your background color ony by one, for each section for all sections.
2) After that, you need to change you Page configuration, from Pixels to Centimeters, then you inform 0 (zero) to all margins like the image below.
3) Done, now your report has just one background color, grey for example.
I would know how to import a background image on iReport designer 4.1.2.
These are the step I take:
choose View->Report Designer->Import Background Image...
select my png image
choose View->Report Designer->Transform Background Image
click right on image and set Fit page width and Trasparency to 100%
finally click End Transformation
The background image appears properly in the report but when launch the preview it disappears!
What's wrong? I miss something?
PS: I discarded the Background band solution because the image exceed the report margins.
Sorry, I didn't read the question carefully at first. You need to use the background band. Resize your image to be the appropriate size so you can use it. After doing that...
Export to PDF and you should see the background image. Export to XHTML and you should see the background image.
When you export to HTML background images won't display. The FAQ link on the JasperReports page explains things (like this!) that you need to consider in HTML reports.
The background image does not do what you want. It is intended to provide a background while you are editing the report in iReport. It has no effect on the final report.
It seems to be that this iReport's option (Import Background Image) does not affect on report, it is affect on GUI appearance. May be this is a bug.
I did not find ireport.background.image or ireport.background.image.properties properties usage in JR source codes.
The exported report in html format does not contain image (set in ireport.background.image).
You should use Background band for creating watermarks or something else.
I had the same problem as mentioned above. I realized that all you need to do is to:
Make sure the palette is open by selecting Windows > palette
Click on image and it will prompt you to select an image from your browser.
If you want to set the image as the background image, simply shift the image item in the report inspector to the background band.
Using Image option from (Window > Palette) is the better way to display the image in iReport. Keeping the image under Page Header helps to display the image in each page.
I think iReport Background image (view -> Report designer -> Import Background image) option is to use for Pre printed reports. When you need to print report details to pre printed page its very difficult to make alignments and create exact report. For this you can scan the pre printed page and load it as background image (view -> Report designer -> Import Background image) and then align the report parameters as scanned pre printed page. While you printing it automatically remove the inserted background. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
use the background band
Make it of preferable size
Drag the image icon in the pallet into the background band
4.position it i.e centre, lefr or right. save and preview
hello
i want to create watermark background in crystal report.
one way is:
1- On the Report menu, click Section Expert.
The Section Expert dialog box appears.
2- In the Sections list, click Page Header, then select the Underlay Following Sections check box.
3- Click OK to preview the report again.
but in this solution lines and boxes in report design page appear back of background image.
what is better solution?
the solution to this problem is make a subreport, the main report will only have the watermark on page header A, and the subreport on page header B
Your method is the best way to do it, as far as I know.
On your background don't forget to right-click->move->to back. That should put the background image in the back and all other report elements in the front.
Is it really true that Crystal Reports does not support images that have transparency?
We are using it at work and the guy that does Crystal Reports told me it doesn't support transparency. I couldn't believe it so I've spent the last 20 minutes googling and think he might be right. This seems absolutely incredible in this day and age.
Can anyone please confirm whether or not CR supports transparency, and if so how you do it (we are not limited by the type of image to insert - png, gif etc).
For the record we are using CR version that comes with VS 2008 (version 10.5).
CR doesn't support transparency but you can use a wmf image to solve your problem.
I'm using CR 12 (2008), i need to put an image as signature (as a watermark) on another image.
Example:
Background_image.jpg
Signature_image.jpg
Convert Signature_image.jpg into a wmf file using "Inkscape" (freeware).
In the report, we have "Background_image.jpg" and over it the "Signature_image.wmf" image,
it works great!
Just reached over here while searching for same problem. Unfortunately this is true till this date :(
Answering this question for users who may visit again here.
Transparent background of image is not retained when adding it to Crystal Reports
I achived solution following way.
Painted transperent area with printing page color i.e. white in my case.
I would like to put image in page header and some text over it.
In CR design mode.
right click in page header section -> select section expert
select page header -> click insert
In page header a check "Underlay following sections" -> click ok.
back in design, in section "page header a" include image.
In section "page header b" include text which I would like to show over image (i.e. I am expecting to be transparent).
Hope this helps for future visitors.
There is another work around I tried and was successful. If you want the image as a watermark in your report, use your report as a sub report in the detail section of the main report and keep the image in a main report page header and use the option 'Underlay Following Sections' in the Section Expert. All the lines and texts will appear properly on top of the image.
As AR_Italy said, confirmed that wmf files are the way to go, even though SAP site says transparent images are not supported, so thank you to AR_Italy.
The only thing I would add is that these can be Exported from Adobe Illustrator as well (make sure your image has a transparent background first).
If your Image has a white background AND your lazy just check this out:
Rightclick on your report, select Report and Report options and Check "Retain Original Image Color Depth
