PDF Form Processor Lacks Support for Repeatable
Fields in Landscape Templates
If you design a PDF template with repeatable fields, the PDF output
from the template will be correctly formatted in portrait mode. However,
when the same report is created in landscape mode, the table headers
are correct but the following occurs:
Repeating line information (that is, each data field in the iteration)
rotates by 90 degrees.
The repeating lines spread across in a horizontal direction from
right to left instead of top to bottom in a vertical direction.
This issue has no workaround.
Fix not yet available.

Sorting Within a Nested For-Each-Group Fails with
EmptyStackException Error
You can sort a group of data values using the <?sort:element_name?>
syntax. This syntax follows immediately after the for-each-group syntax.
This sort syntax does not work when it is included under a nested for-each-group.
If you include this sort syntax under a nested for-each-group, then
you will notice an EmptyStackException error and the report output is
not displayed.
This issue has no workaround.
Fix not yet available.

PDF Encryption Limited to RC4 Algorithm
The RC4 algorithm is less secure than newer algorithms such as AES
and is not recommend for use in new applications. However, the RC4 algorithm
is the only supported encryption algorithm for Adobe Acrobat 6.0; and
some systems based on RC4 are secure enough for practical use. Support
for AES encryption for Adobe Acrobat 7.0 and later versions is planned
for future releases of Oracle XML Publisher.
This issue has no workaround.
Fix not yet available.

Rounding Issue When Adding Decimal Numbers
As Oracle XDK conforms to XSL standards for IEEE 754, you might encounter
rounding issues when adding numbers that are decimals. For example,
suppose you add 13683.80 and 516.39, using this syntax in Oracle BI
Publisher:
<?13683.80 + 516.39?>
The value returned is 14200.189999999999 which is caused by a limitation
based on the IEEE 754 Binary Floating-Point-Arithmetic.
To work around this issue, use the format-number
function or the round syntax as shown here to obtain a return value of
14200.19: <?format-number:(13683.80 + 516.39);'D99'?>
or <?(round((13683.80 + 516.39)*100) div 100)?>
Fix not yet available.
