nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Dynamically setting field padding in onCreate does not work in PDF

nimebejo

I'm attempting to set the padding of a field in the oncreate property like this:

this.getStyle().paddingLeft = (row["hierlevel"] - 2) * 15

This works great as long as I am viewing the preview within BIRT. If I run the report as a PDF the padding remains at 0.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get this to work in the PDF?

Thank you.

Try this change and let me know if it works for you 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
this.getStyle().paddingLeft = (row["hierlevel"] - 2) * 15 + "px";
</pre>

Perfect! That did the trick.

Thank you again!
