10 Setting Report Processing and Output Document Properties
Topics:
Overview
The Formatting tab of the Report Properties dialog enables you to set runtime formatting properties at the report level.
These properties are also set at the system level. If conflicting values are set for a property at each level, the report level takes precedence.
To set a property at the report level:
- Open the report in the Report Editor. and then
- Click Properties to display the Report Properties dialog.
- Click the Formatting tab to display the formatting properties.
For each property, Report Value is updatable and the Server Value is shown for reference.

PDF Digital Signature Properties
You set properties at the report level to enable digital signature for a report and to define the placement of the signature in the output PDF document.
Note that to implement digital signature for a report based on a PDF layout template or an RTF layout template, you must set the property Enable Digital Signature to "True" for the report.
You also must set the appropriate properties to place the digital signature in the desired location on your output report. Your choices for placement of the digital signature depend on the template type. The choices are as follows:
-
(PDF only) Place the digital signature in a specific field by setting the Existing signature field name property.
-
(RTF and PDF) Place the digital signature in a general location of the page (top left, top center, or top right) by setting the Signature field location property.
-
(RTF and PDF) Place the digital signature in a specific location designated by x and y coordinates by setting the Signature field x coordinate and Signature field y coordinate properties.
If you choose this option, you can also set Signature field width and Signature field height to define the size of the field in your document.

false | xslt-scalable |
|
Enable XSLT runtime optimization |
When set to "true", the overall performance of the FO processor is increased and the size of the temporary FO files generated in the temp directory is significantly decreased. Note that for small reports (for example 1-2 pages) the increase in performance isn't as marked. To further enhance performance when you set this property to true, set the Extract attribute sets property to "false". |
true | xslt-runtime-optimization |
|
Enable XPath Optimization |
When set to "true", the XML data file is analyzed for element frequency. The information is then used to optimize XPath in XSL. |
false | xslt-xpath-optimization |
|
Pages cached during processing |
This property is enabled only when you specify a Temporary Directory (under General properties). During table of contents generation, the FO Processor caches the pages until the number of pages exceeds the value specified for this property. It then writes the pages to a file in the Temporary Directory. |
50 | system-cache-page-size |
|
Bidi language digit substitution type |
Valid values are "None" and "National". When set to "None", Eastern European numbers are used. When set to "National", Hindi format (Arabic-Indic digits) is used. This setting is effective only when the locale is Arabic, otherwise it's ignored. |

When set to true, prevents variable header support. Variable header support automatically extends the size of the header to accommodate the contents. |
false | fo-prevent-variable-header |
|
Enable multithreading |
If you have a multiprocessor machine or a machine with a dual-core single processor, you might achieve faster document generation by setting this option to True. |
false | fo-multi-threads |
|
Disable external references |
When set to true, disallows importing of secondary files such as subtemplates or other XML documents during XSL processing and XML parsing. This increases the security of the system. Set this to "false" if the report or template calls external files. |
true | xdk-secure-io-mode |
|
FO Parsing Buffer Size |
Specifies the size of the buffer for the FO Processor. When the buffer is full, the elements from the buffer are rendered in the report. Reports with large tables or pivot tables that require complex formatting and calculations may require a larger buffer to properly render those objects in the report. Increase the size of the buffer at the report level for these reports. Note that increasing this value affects the memory consumption of the system. |
1000000 | fo-chunk-size |
|
FO extended linebreaking |
When set to true, punctuation, hyphenation, and international text are handled properly when line breaking is necessary. |
true | fo-extended-linebreaking |
|
Enable XSLT runtime optimization for sub-template |
Provides an option to perform XSL import in FOProcessor before passing only one XSL to XDK for further processing. This allows xslt-optimization to be applied to the entire main XSL template which already includes all its subtemplates. The default is true. If you call the FOProcessor directly, the default is false. |
true | xslt-do-import |
|
Report Timezone |
Valid values: User or JVM. When set to User, Oracle BI Publisher uses the User-level Report Time Zone setting for reports. The User Report Time Zone is set in the user's Account Settings. When set to JVM, Oracle BI Publisher uses the server JVM timezone setting for all users' reports. All reports therefore display the same time regardless of individual user settings. This setting can be overridden at the report level. |
User | fo-report-timezone |
|
PDF Bidi Unicode Version |
Specifies the Unicode version (3.0 or 4.1) used to display the BIDI strings in the PDF output. |

RTF Template Properties
Configure RTF templates by setting the properties described in the table below.
| Property Name | Description | Default | Configuration Name |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Extract attribute sets |
The RTF processor automatically extracts attribute sets within the generated XSL-FO. The extracted sets are placed in an extra FO block, which can be referenced. This improves processing performance and reduces file size. Valid values are:
|
Auto | rtf-extract-attribute-sets |
|
Enable XPath rewriting |
When converting an RTF template to XSL-FO, the RTF processor automatically rewrites the XML tag names to represent the full XPath notations. Set this property to "false" to disable this feature. |
true | rtf-rewrite-path |
|
Characters used for checkbox |
The default PDF output font doesn't include a glyph to represent a checkbox. If the template contains a checkbox, use this property to define a Unicode font for the representation of checkboxes in the PDF output. You must define the Unicode font number for the "checked" state and the Unicode font number for the "unchecked" state using the following syntax: Example: Albany WT J;9746;9747/A Note that the font that you specify must be made available at runtime. |
Albany WT J;9746;9747/A | rtf-checkbox-glyph |

| Property Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
|
Show grid lines |
Set to true to show the Excel table grid lines in the report output. |
false |
|
Page break as a new sheet |
When set to "True" a page break specified in the report template generates a new sheet in the Excel workbook. |
true |
|
Minimum column width |
When the column width is less than the specified minimum and it contains no data, the column is merged with the preceding column. The value must be set in points. The valid range for this property is 0.5 to 20 points. |
3 (in points, 0.04 inch) |
|
Minimum row height |
When the row height is less than the specified minimum and it contains no data, the row is removed. The value must be set in points. The valid range for this property is 0.001 to 5 points. |
1 (in points, 0.01 inch) |
|
Keep values in same column |
Set this property to True to minimize column merging. Column width is set based on column contents using the values supplied in the Table Auto Layout property. Output may not appear as neatly laid out as when using the original layout algorithm. |
False |
|
Table Auto Layout |
Specify a conversion ratio in points and a maximum length in points, for example 6.5,150. See example. For this property to take effect, the property "Keep values in same column" must be set to True. This property expands the table column width to fit the contents. The column width is expanded based on the character count and conversion ratio up to the maximum specification. Example: Assume a report with two columns of Excel data -- Column 1 contains a text string that's 18 characters and Column 2 is 30 characters long. When the value of this property is set to 6.5,150, the following calculations are performed: Column 1 is 18 characters: Apply the calculation: 18 * 6.5pts = 117 pts The column in the Excel output will be 117 pts wide. Column 2 is 30 characters: Apply the calculation: 30 * 6.5 pts = 195 pts Because 195 pts is greater than the specified maximum of 150, Column 2 will be 150 pts wide in the Excel output. |
N/A |
|
Maximum allowable nested table row count |
Specify the maximum allowable row count for a nested table. Allowed values are 15000 to 999,999. During report processing, nested inner table rows cannot be flushed to the XLSX writer, therefore they stay in-memory, increasing memory consumption. Set this limit to avoid out-of-memory exceptions. When this limit is reached for the size of the inner table, generation is terminated. The incomplete XLSX output file is returned. |
20,000 |
|
Open password |
Use this property to specify the password that report users must provide to open any XLSX output file. Configuration name: |
NA |
All Outputs Properties

Define Font Mappings
Map base fonts in RTF or PDF templates to target fonts to be used in the published document.
You can specify font mapping at the site or report level. Font mapping is performed only for PDF output and PowerPoint output.
There're two types of font mappings:
-
RTF Templates — for mapping fonts from RTF templates and XSL-FO templates to PDF and PowerPoint output fonts
-
PDF Templates — for mapping fonts from PDF templates to different PDF output fonts.
Make Fonts Available for Publishing
A set of Type1 fonts and a set of TrueType fonts are available for publishing. You can select any of the fonts in these sets as a target font with no additional setup required.
The predefined fonts are located in <oracle_home>/oracle_common/internal/fonts. To map to another font, place the font in this directory to make it available for publishing at runtime. If the environment is clustered, then you must place the font on every server.
Set Font Mapping at the Site Level or Report Level
A font mapping can be defined at the site level or the report level.
-
To set a mapping at the site level, select the Font Mappings link from the Administration page.
-
To set a mapping at the report level, view the Properties for the report, then select the Font Mappings tab. These settings apply to the selected report only.
The report-level settings take precedence over the site-level settings.
