Export into PDF

Hi,

I have a report, which has a table. The table has 5 columns. When I try to export the report into PDF,
column values are getting truncated in PDF.

For Ex:
report.rptdesign(assume this is my rpt report)

FirstName LastName Email MobileNo Address

Sunil Reddy sunil@xyz.com 1234567845 Bangalore
Anil Reddy amin@xyz.com 123456783421 Calcutta
Naveen Kumar naveen@xyz.com 12345678332 Mumbai

When I try to export this report into PDF format, Below is how I am getting the PDF.

FirstName LastName Email MobileNo Address

Sunil Reddy sunil@xyz. 12345678 Bangalo
Anil Reddy amin@xyz.c 12345678 Calcutt
Naveen Kumar naveen@xyz 12345678 Mumbai

If you can observe in the PDF, Some of the column values are getting truncated.
Like, in 'Email', 'MobileNo', and 'Address' columns, the values are getting truncated.
Instead of 'sunil@xyz.com', it it printed as 'sunil@xyz.'. Some of the content is getting truncated.
Same case with 'MobileNo' and 'Address' columns. Content is getting truncated, which I don't want.

Can anyone suggest a solution, in which the data should be displayed as how it was in the report.

There are a few things you can try.

1) Increase the size of the columns.
2) If there are no sizes on the columns, increase the size of the table. The layout engine will try to make use of percentages.
3) Select the Data element being truncated. Under the Property Editor, check what the Whitespace setting is set to. Make sure it is not set to no wrapping.

Hi,

Same problem i was facing..

I had solved it by increasing the width of column and reducing the size of font..

Try this may solve your problem.

Thanks..

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.
Below are the constraints on my report.

1. My column and table sizes are fixed.
I don't want to change them.
2. All I need is when the report gets exported into PDF, Column values
should get wrapped to next line in the same cell if they don't not
fit in one line. But content should not be disappeared.

The bad thing is my column values are of very large length with NO space in
between the characters. For ex: Some of my column values will have a length
around 20-30(20-30 characters in the value string without space).

Is there any built-in functionality provided by BIRT for this problem.
or if any other work around this?
