RichText and PDF Export

edited October 2009 in General
Hi,

If a rich text (or DB Rich Text) component contains rotated text (for
example, the text was rotated in Word and then copy / pasted into the RB
rich text editor) the PDF export seems to get confused and make all text on
subsequent bands very, very tiny and pushed right to the top of the screen.

Is this a known limitation or something that is unsupported (as RB's rich
text editor itself does not allow text to be rotated anyway)?

I'd like to stress that the text is rotated WITHIN the rich text, it's not a
case of the rich text component being rotated (which is not allowed anyway).

Also, while I'm on the subject - rotated labels don't allow word wrapping,
although the word wrap option can still be selected. Is that a known issue?

Thanks,

Steve Branley

    Hi Stephen,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you currently using. If
    possible, please send a simple example that demonstrates this issue in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
    (PDF issue).

    ReportBuilder does not currently support wrapped rotated text.
