Size of the table for PDF format

Hi,

I have a report which has lot of columns and it's looks fine in HTML format but PDF format some of the columns are not showing up if I use Auto layout and when I change it to fixed layout Columns are very close that I can't see all the data in the column.

Can anybody help me to solve this issue.

I want to make it show up in 2 pages if the data is lorger.

Thank you in advance.

Is this because you have too many columns and not enough space for them in your page size in PDF?

Hi Mecheal,

Thanks for the reply.
That's correct. I have too many columns to display in the report.

Thank you,

For a regular table, there is not a horizontal page break like in a crosstab, but that's probably because the crosstab has a dynamic number of columns and a regular table is fixed. One thing you could do would be to change the page size of the report so that the PDF page is large enough to fit your table. If you want to stick with the standard page size in PDF, what you're probably going to have to do is to create one large table (as you already have it) and also create two or more tables using the same columns as the large table, but only putting as many in each table as will fit on your PDF page. Then, in your beforeFactory event of your report, you can drop the large table is your outputFormat is PDF and drop the others if it is not. Let me know if you have questions.
