Hi,
We are currently in the migration of Oracle Reports 9 to Oracle Reports 11. In doing this, I saw a strange behavior in Reports : it generate a file with a .pdf extension that is in reality a postscript file. It do this in both the 9 and 11 versions.
Here is the header of the .pdf file in the cache folder of Reports :
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: Oracle Toolkit 2 for Motif 11.1.1.2.0 PRODUCTION
%%Version: 11.1 1
%%CreationDate: (Wed Apr 7 13:41:57 2010)
%%For: ((oracle@localhost))
%%Title: 'RAPT_130' (Oracle Toolkit Application)
%%LanguageLevel: 2
%%Requirements: numcopies(1)
%%DocumentData: Clean7Bit
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Pages: (atend)
%%Orientation: Portrait
% NOTE: This file was generated with the PPD file default.ppd
As you can, it's a postscript file.
Why do Oracle do this? Because of this, I have some problem in printing the reports (cups complaint that's it's not a PDF file, and it is right...)
Thank you!

I know that it's really easy to do normally. But in our case, that include changing hundreds of Forms that call the various reports, so, in short, it is not possible to do in the current situation.
I was more looking for a way to fix it globally on the server side for the moment and after the migration, the developers could modify the Forms slowly.
