Error while exporting to PDF - Operation not yet implemented

[#1]

Hi,

We using C# Dot Net 2005 and Crystal Report for Dot Net 2005 and we are trying to export to PDF file. In one of the reports, we are using a Font "Shree-Kan-0850' from Shree Samhita, a SDK to build application in Indian regional languages. But we are getting an error as follows:-

"Error in File C:\Document~1....\{....}-.rpt: Operation not yet implemented.". When we tried in various sites and forums found that it was due to some non-standard fonts. We have checked that if we remove Shree-Kan-0850 font from report, it works fine and once included the error comes. So problem might by from this font. Whether Crystal report is not supporting other than Windows standard fonts or the problem with PDF? Because with same font we can export to DOC, XLS etc. Please guide us how to solve this?

Thanks and regards,

Rajeev Vandakar, Bangalore.

Hi Ludek

Thanks for your reply. I read all suggestions in this thread but problem still there. I created an application use CrystalReportViewer to view report, report show OK with special fonts. but when I export to PDF, Word or excel then "Not Implemented" error show

What font are you using? Try Arial Unicode MS - do you see the same issue there? Some fonts can not be embedded into PDF, etc, due to licensing constraints.

Hi Ludek

After some hour debug, I found that error when string contain colon (:) separator

font: Univers 57 Condensed

Arial Unicode MS is OK

with this special font, it work OK on window server 2008 and win 8. i think not for licensing constraints.

Where did Univers 57 Condensed come from? I don't have it on my computer:

Which to me indicates that this is not a default font(?). Are you able to create any PDF docs natively using that font?

Hi Ludek

This is not standard font.

You can download this font from link: Download & Install Free Univers 57 Condensed Font – Univers 57 Condensed .ttf

Error happen when i view report in crystal report viewer. Report has 2 pages, page 1 show OK, page 2 error because has a colon character (:) in this page.

But problem not in PDF, problem happen when view crytal report in CrytalReportViewer

Ahhh - sorry. Somewhere between the title of this Discussion and the rest of it I got things confused.

One thing to remember is that the .NET Framework only supports Only TT and OT fonts. See this KBA:

1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET

So, the question then is; does the frm support the font?

Hi Ludek

I think this is a true type font

Unfortunately, it looks like that font has many issues. Googling 'Univers Condensed Fonts .net' gets a number of interesting posts. E.g.;

Univers 67 Bold Condensed Font does not show in my Flash Fonts List

See if you can select the font in the properties window of the VS.NET IDE.

It would also be interesting to see if the following will work in a new test app:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,

ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

     Label1.Font = New Font("Univers 57 Condensed Font – Univers 57 Condensed", 12, FontStyle.Regular)

End Sub

Hi Ludek

This font showed in the properties window of VS.Net (window 😎

And Report show ok too in window 8

In Window Server 2003

Label show OK with this font

Use this code to set font in contructor:

label1.Font = new Font("Univers 57 Condensed Font – Univers 57 Condensed", 12, FontStyle.Regular);
