its the DBAs task

Open the report in report builder.

Right click on the report name. Go to Property Inspector.

Set the XML Prolog Value.

XML Settings -> XML Prolog Value <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>.

Hope this helps.

HI Raj

We had the same problem before & to solve it you want to install acrobat ver3 on the client PC & use these fonts in the report builder (in the field which contain the arabic data) :
- Traditional Arabic
- Simplified Arabic
- Arabic Transparent

& when you submit the request from Oracle application & press on view output you can save it then open with acrobat3.

Hope I can help you
Thanks
