column widths changing in PDF export

Hi,
When exporting my report to excel, the column widths change resulting in mis
alignment, and certain columns being place on new pages, which is not very
user friendly at all.
Is there anyway that I can prevent this from happening?
ThanksRob, we had this problem too, and it happens in Excel exports too. The
solution for us was to make sure the overall report with was less than 29cm
and that any Graphics were optimised to the size displayed in the report
(rather than the report shrinking the graphics, for some reason, if the
actual size of the graphic meant that the edge would be displayed off the
page, this would trigger a form feed?)
Hope this helps
Mikey :o)

column heading is missing on some pdf rendered pages

I am new to RS so this might be a stupid question. Since the page header
can't have table, I have placed the table in the body as table group header.
The table contains column heading for my report. The report produces over a
hundred pages of PDF files. As I scroll through the PDF pages I noticed that
on some pages the column heading is missing. Does anyone know why or is there
a better way to do this?
Thanks,
TimThis might not be the right answer, but my impression is that where pages
break in the web report, and in the PDF exported report, are two different
things. I noticed it when I added a footer with a line to a report. THis
line would show up at the end of each page in the web report, and totally
randomly in the PDF report. And there would be a lot more text on each page
in the web report, than in the PDF. At least this goes for reports with 8pt
font and landscape view.
Try to check if what you see on each page in the PDF corresponds with what
you see in your web report.

Column Header Problems in PDF exports

Hi. I have some matrix style reports that many customers export to PDF.
Most of these are quite large files and span numerous pages. The first 3 - 4
pages of the report look great, then after that the column header is pushed
down into the first data row of the report.
Has anyone run into this or know of a workaround etc.?
Thanks in advance.this is a known microsoft bug is what i found out
