Active Reports: Copy paste issue - activereports

I have generated a report in active reports.
After the report is dispayed in the report viewer, I copied the report by clicking on the Copy button and tried to paste in a word document.
I have some horizontal lines in my report, when I check the copied data in word, the horizntal lines are over lapping on some of the text dispalyed in report.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
I have attached the screen shot of the report's actual layout and the issue I am facing after pasting the report layout in a word document.
Regards,
Sujata

Could you please send your RPX/RDLX file to ComponentOne support using ComponentOne support forum or support E-Mail address supportone#componentone.com? In the meanwhile you may use the following options to get the desired results.
If you are using ActiveReports 8 then you can use the activate the snapshot mode in the viewer, select the content from viewer and this will create an image of the selection. You can later paste image this in Word, Paint, Excel etc. Since this is an image it will be obviously not editable.
If you are looking to get editable content, then you may make use of the RtfExport filter available in ActiveReports.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report section details doesn't create columns

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.

Jasper report - Collapsible Input section

Is there a way to make the input section (filters) collapsible while viewing the report in jasper? This is to get a wider view of the entire report. The input section takes away some space. So, once I select my filters, I would want a mechanism to collapse it. Is there a way for this?
Thanks
Rathi
If you right-click the report in the repository browser and choose Edit, you can customize how the input controls layout in the report viewer, for example you could choose Pop-up window.
See here for a description of all the layouts: https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v640/customizing-report-rendering-page
There is a way. You can use "Input Controls" icon available in the Report Viewer Tool Bar to show/ hide the filters for a report. See image here:
Show-Hide Input controls
Alternatively, if you got Commercial edition of Jasper Reports Server, you can create your own custom report viewer page to add auto hide feature for input controls (filters) and can embed reports inside it using Visualize.js.

How to control page breaks when we export report in word format

I have a report,when i export report in to the word format in ssrs 2008 r2 ,i lost my charts that are present in to the bottom of the report.I think this due to the page-break that occur.Please suggest me the appropriate solution about that.
please check the image of the report
Go to the properties for the chart and select "Add a page break before." Let me know if you are still having issues after doing that.
I would also try putting all of the items in a rectangle (and adding a page break before on the rectangle itself if necessary).

The generated report in DOCX format has invalid margins

I'm using JasperReports to generate a word (docx) document but I have a problem when I want to try to print the doc. The exporter messes up the margins of the page. Does anyone know how to prevent that from happening.
I know how to set the margin in iReport, but it just makes the data generate further from the page borders, but the margins in word which can be adjusted at the top of the page is laying right at the edge.
Has anyone had this problem?
Are you able to specify the page size? Its possible that using this in combination with the margin settings will help the export problem.
If you are not too heavily invested in your Jasper solution, Docmosis and JODReports let you layout the document visually using Word or Writer then render the report in various formats. This may save you time in the long run, but all reporting systems have quirks. Hope you find a solution, especially when your output is not PDF.

Add an image with transparency to Crystal Reports

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
