Hi,
Creating PDF file using birt APIs is taking so much time. May i know the reason for it?

We are first generating a rptdoc file then from that i am rending the data and creating PDF file. This rendering data from rptdoc file and creating PDF file is taking so much time. Nearly 30 min it is taking. The output file size is 196 MB .
The PDF file has 1,25,000 pages

Can anybody provide the reason?

Thanks & Regards,
Laxmipathi Raju

Does the pdf contain chart? You may want to look at this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=301665
You can add a beforeRender script and change whether pdf supports svg like:
//Use svg
var xyz =
reportContext.getRenderOption().getOption("supportedImageFormats ");
reportContext.getRenderOption().setOption("supportedImageFormats ", xyz
+";SVG");

If you do not want it to, set the option to:
"PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP"

Thanks for Your response Jason.

In the report we don't have any image still it is taking so much time. Can you tell whether there is any problem in that PDF rendering.


Thanks & Regards,

Can you give some more detail on how you are running the report and the
size of the dataset?

Dear Jason,
I am trying to generate a rpt design file in PDF format. In my database i have 150 million records and out of it i am trying to fetch first 1 lakh records and generating a PDF file it is taking me 33 mins to generate. From database i got the data with in 2 mins but to generate PDF file it took around 31 mins. In my report i have 255 columns. The code i have used is as below. Can any body tell me why it is taking this much time to generate a PDF file. Can any body provide me an Optimized way of generating PDF files.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
String newReportDesign = "reports/3lack256report_PVG.rptdesign";
String format = PDFRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_PDF;
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
boolean showInfo = true;

if(args.length > 0){
reportDesign = args[0];
}
if(args.length > 1){
newReportDesign = args[1];
}
ChartApiPDF capi = new ChartApiPDF( );
capi.run( newReportDesign, format );
}
public void run( String reportDesign, String format )
{
// Create a runnable report from the reportDesign.

IReportRunnable report = null;
try
{
report = engine.openReportDesign( reportDesign );
}
catch ( EngineException e )
{
System.err.println( "Report " + reportDesign +
" not found!\n" );
engine.destroy( );
return;
}
// Create a task to run the report
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask( report );

//PDF Render Options start
PDFRenderOption options = new PDFRenderOption();

//pdfOptions.setOutputFileName(outputFilePath);
options.setSupportedImageFormats("JPG;PNG;BMP;SVG");
options.setOutputFormat(format);

options.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW,
IPDFRenderOption.ENLARGE_PAGE_SIZE);
//PDF Render Options end


// Give the report the same name as the design,
// except give it the appropriate extension
String output = reportDesign.replaceFirst( ".rptdesign",".pdf" );
//String output = reportDesign.replaceFirst( ".rptdesign",".html" );
//"." + format );
options.setOutputFileName( output );
// Set the render options on the RunAndRenderTask object
task.setRenderOption( options );
// Run the report.
try {
task.run( );
}
catch ( EngineException e1 )
{
System.err.println( "Report " + reportDesign +
" run failed.\n" );
System.err.println( e1.toString( ) );
}

engine.destroy( );
}

}



Thanks & Regards,
Laxmipathi Raju

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this and post the code below to it?
Also if you could post the design to it as well it would be good.
