Regarding Report Designer and the formatting alterations between HTML and PDF.
After designing all the reports while using the HTML view, I changed to PDF view to print. In PDF view, all formatting is either stripped or completely different.
How can I retain the original HTML Formatting
while viewing and printing to PDF?
If not, how do I alter the formatting specifically for PDF reports? Seems to only reflect the changes in HTML view.
That's strange. Normally the formatting is messed up in the HTML, but it works in the PDF. Here it's the other way around.
Is your report using any custom Data Access Classes? If not, can you upload the .rpx Report Designer file? I'd like to try it on my local Acumatica SalesDemo instance.
Thanks for sending me the file Jeff. I removed the proprietary stuff and am attaching it here in case someone else can figure this out.
Mine looks even more weird than yours.
This is what it looks like for me in the HTML version using Firefox:
And this is what it looks like for me in the PDF version using Firefox, complete garbage:
I run the PDF in Chrome and it's even worse, completely empty:
It does appear to be something related to your Century Gothic font though because if I change the font on the fields to Arial, everything is ok in the PDF version for both Firefox and Chrome:
Now this is strange because you do have the PdfFontEmbedded option set to True, but maybe there is something special about that Century Gothic font which prevents it from getting embedded.
This seems like one of those buggy things that you should probably open an Acumatica support case for.
Tim,
Thank you for the quick response.
The Font format was chosen by the customer, so if that is the cause, it will be easier to just suggest a new font. I will send it to Acumatica as possible bug for them to look into.
