Is there any reporting tool from which I can automate the output as Power Point. I have access to Crystal and Tableau. From Crystal I can only download report as PDF and then paste in the PPT. Tableau I can download as PPT but some formatting issues and I need to manually download as PPT. Please advise. Thank you.
I think you may want to take a look at DOMO which can:
render a dashboard as a slideshow on the fly (https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043437793-Sharing-Content-Using-Slideshows)
download a PPT for your dashboard
allow you to create refreshable ppt based on your own template (https://domohelp.domo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043437953-Using-the-Domo-PowerPoint-Plugin)
Do you simply need to convert the report pages to a brand new PowerPoint file with one slide per each report page?
Any extra needs such as using a PowerPoint template?
Or using an existing "hosting" PowerPoint file and a target page for insertion?
Do you need any resizing or cropping of content before it gets inserted into the PowerPoint file?
What is the frequency at which this is needed?
I have a report where I am using an on-demand sub-report. But my user is viewing this report from a java application. So whenever he run the report he will view this report in PDF.
Report format:
country name location sales
<on-demand subreport>
Now once he run the report he will get all the above fields data in PDF format.
So now if clicked on location field data in PDF will he get the sub-report's data.
PDF isn't intended to generate dynamic content. As such, you'll need to find an approach that will render the desire content in a static manner.
I would suggest that you parameterize your report to display one of these options:
main only
main + subreport
The PDF will either contain the main report's content or the main and subreport's content.

If you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOE), you could use the openDocument API to generate a new report instance or the most-recently-generated instance. I don't know if Crystal Reports Server supports this feature for certain.
If you are rendering reports in a Java application, then you will need to a way to intercept the hyperlinks--a server, most likely. By in large, you'd be reinventing Crystal Reports Server/BOE.
Basically I understand as you need two thing.
you need to generate a report and export/generate in pdf.
in you need to attach link or something like editable field pdf.
For First answer, you can easily hide/show of sub-report in crystal report side. but not after report generate in pdf.
So for second answer, you need to pdf professional or editable allow version. after you get that you simply use itextsharp.dll (to generate pdf from asp.net-see below link).
So finally I think, does not needed crystal report.

I am new to JasperReports and iReport and I am sturggling to get the most basic example up and running. I'm trying to read input from a .xls file and put it into a table using iReport. Eventually, I want to read from a database, and transform the data in a meaningful way but for now I just want to view what I am reading and I can't get that going. First, if I just drag and drop my Field into the template, $F{Account}, I would expect to see the list of values for that field name (as I do when I preview my "query"). However, if that is all I do and then preview, I see the first account number in my input xls, and then 50 pages of empty white space. Why would this be?
Next, if I create a basic table, I am getting an error
Error filling print... null
java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jasperreports.components.table.util.TableUtil.isSortableAndFilterable(TableUtil.java:344) ...
Print not filled. Try to use an EmptyDataSource...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, I should note, I did download JasperReports but I'm wondering if I need to somehow connect iReport to those classes. I saw a way to do it in the Netbeans plugin but I'm just trying to use the iReport GUI
The table component is great. But it's harder to use than it should be. Take a look at this Table Component tutorial to learn how to use it.
For the first part of your question you don't give enough information for anyone to know. My guess is that you put the field into the Title band rather than the Detail band.
I want to create a crystal report that will match a pdf file. The info in the pdf file is a combination of form fields and instructions layed out in a table format. The crystal report should exactly match the pdf file because I will export the report to pdf later.
is there a smart way of quickly designing the rpt file? like converting the pdf file to an rpt file?
You're better off just building the rpt file from the ground up -- there are no utilities I'm aware of that can covert the PDF to a RPT file.
I agree with LittleBobbyTables in that I don't know of a pdf to Crystal Reports converter so you'll have to build the report on your own from scratch, but you may look into other options instead of Crystal Reports if possible.
Of course it's hard for me to give a good solution since I don't know the drivers behind the decision to use Crystal Reports, but if you are looking to display the data in a web page, Adobe has a pdf to HTML converter here that you may be able to start off with. You put the url to the pdf form and it converts it to HTML or Text. I tried it and thought it did work, it wasn't really close in the look and feel of the original pdf form so you can use it to get you part of the way and then you can wire up the data portion to display your data. Just throwing out another option instead of wedding yourself to Crystal Reports. Hope it helps.
new page break is not working when exporting from Crystal report 9 using visual studio studio.net.
I have set the below options in crystal report 9 design
paper size is a3 and orientation is landscape.
I have created 2 report groups (date and org unit)
I want a page break after every new date and after every new org unit.
I have already set the new page after in group footer1 and group footer 2.
when i export to excel it doesn't break the page after each group is changed.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue.
thanks

I said this in another question regarding exporting to Excel:
If this was made with CR, I've found
that if a report is going to
consistently be exported to Excel,
it's best to remove ALL formatting
that CR has/does. Otherwise you'll get
weird anomalies like what you're
experiencing and will save you a lot
of grief down the road.
What I've done for some of my users is
create one report with no formatting,
specifically for exporting, and one
report with all the bells and whistles
of CR.
Page breaks are not understood by Excel during the export. The best bet is to do a grouping on the report and render them as tabs in the Excel document.
Crystal has a long history of problems when exporting to excel. There are quite a few tips about on how to get both good looking reports on the screen and in an Excel worksheet. There is no one answer for your problem, as it really depends on just how your report is structured. I googled on "crystal reports page break excel export" and get plenty of material to look at. For example:
