Hi,

the report has to be shown in pdf and it is definatly in legal size but because of the apprx 50 fields in it
the crystal XI does not worked properly for the above requirement
Note:Each field should be atleast 12 to 15 characters width when shown in pdf

It is something urgent!
Any help should be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
 
Bit of a language barrier here.

I guess that you're having a problem with a PDF not looking as you'd like it to because of the amount of fields.

Keep in mind that exporting is never an exact science, so allow for some degree of adjustment by making sure that the columns are wide enough, and you stay well away from the page margins.

If the field needs to be 12 to 15 characters, and it's truncating existing data, then widen each and use a smaller font.

If you want each field to be 15 characters regardless of whether they have data, then you can use a formula:

replicatestring(" ",15-len(trim({table.field})))

Adjust the 15 to 12 if you want 12 characters.

Keep in mind that you didn't express what you have nor what you need very well.
