Dynamic Columns in pdf

Megha Nidhi Dahal

Hello Community,

I'm trying to export data to a pdf file. This data has dynamic columns. Sometimes, there can be more columns than that can be accommodated in a pdf file. If it was excel output, I would give a large width to the report, but I cannot do that for pdf.

Is there any way that I can dynamically adjust the page width, or shrink the data if there isn't enough space available?

Need urgent help!!

I had responded to someone in the forum previously, but I cant quite find it. IIRC, you would use a script like the following in either the initialize event or the beforeFactory event:

if (reportContext.getOutputFormat().equalsIgnoreCase("PDF"))
{
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getMasterPages().get(0).setProperty("type", "custom");
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getMasterPages().get(0).setProperty("height", "10in");
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getMasterPages().get(0).setProperty("width", "10in");
}
