Export report to PDF by procedure (Settings)

Hendrik Hellwig

Hi

 

I want to export a report with different dataviews (they are all in a container object) to pdf. If I choose the way over a procedure

the export is very bad. You can not read anything. How can I change the settings only for this report?

Hi Hendrik Hellwig,

 

I've come across that in various situations. Sometimes it helped optimizing the print template, but that takes time, as well.

The only working solution that I've found is composing a screen just for the purpose of exporting its objetcs to a PDF file (...different screen-size, arranging the objects, setting the objects' size and so on). This can be truly annoying since it is rather time consuming.

A second option would be to export the objects to Word/Excel and converting the DOC/XLS to PDF afterwards, which would mean some server-side commands and MS Office installed on the server (which is not always the case).

 

Hope this helps, nonetheless!

 

Kind Regards,

Helmut

Hi

Consider the export to XPS file, it's similar to PDF and preserve the images definition.

I had the same problem and I solved it in this way.
