How to restore Hyperion Financial Reports formatting using xdo.cfg

Person designing a website for Accessibility

After an upgrade and migration of Hyperion Financial reports from an older to a later version, the reports may lose requisite format characteristics such as bold and italics. A quick way to restore such formatting is editing xdo.cfg to include Arial fonts in a few steps:

  • Copy C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial to E:\Oracle\Middleware \jdk160_35\jre\lib\fonts
  • Save a copy of xdo.cfg in E:\Oracle\Middleware \user_projects\epmsystem1\FinancialReporting\lib\FOProcessor\xdo.cfg
  • Edit xdo.cfg to include Arial fonts:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

<config version=”1.0.0″ xmlns=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/”>

<properties>

<!– <property name=”system-temp-dir”>c:\temp</property> –>

<!– <property name=”pdf-compression”>true</property> –>

<!– <property name=”pdf-security”>true</property> –>

<!– <property name=”pdf-open-password”>user</property> –>

<!– <property name=”pdf-permissions-password”>owner</property> –>

<!– <property name=”pdf-no-printing”>true</property> –>

<property name=”pdf-no-changing-the-document”>true</property>

<property name=”xlsx-keep-values-in-same-column”>true</property>
