Header problem in viewer

julioleiva

Hi all

We have a problem with a report that has a table with a table header for the column names
When the report run it goes to the viewer, from there you can export it to a pdf, excel, etc,

The header for the column names in the viewer allocates a big space , but when you see the report in a pdf the header shows the right amount of space

Please see the attached files

We are using Iserver SP113,the behaviour is the same in our design environment

Thanks a lot for any tip on this one

Hi, I too get the same behaviour. This might be because the output is first Rendered as HTML to the viewer, the formatting intended for PDF output might not be always resembling in here. It's only when you export it to PDF the PDF emitter writes it in a format suitable for PDF output and you see correct width there. 
 
I may be wrong here, but that's my understanding.

Thanks for your reply, one thing is if I run it on the open source version it behaves as expected. 
I just also exported to excel, powerpoint and is working ok, so basically is the way it gets render to the viewer. 
 
 
So you mean, there is no work around for this? 
 
 
I'm using Actuate Professional Designer that uses BIRT 2.6.2 
 
Thanks

Hi julioleiva, 
 
I'm using the open source BIRT and I get this behavior. I'm not sure about Actuate Professional Designer. 
One thing that I can suggest is to have the height of the header row fixed. By default the height will not be specified, try fixing the height of the header row and check whether its fine. 
 
I tried doing so, and I got a better output

-Best Regards

Thanks for your reply 
Actually I found a pattern for this behaviour.If the data fills out the page, the header is shown as expected, but if the data do not fill out the page, the header wide is proportional. 
For example if the report has two pages, header in the first page is , if the data in the second has only four rows,header will be really wide 
Have you come across with this? 
 
Thanks
