Unaligned columns in a list with PDF format - Report Studio 1

[gruposenda]

Hi :
I have a report in report studio with 3 lists, and every one has 2 columns.
I marked fixed size In every properities - list / table properties.
After running the report, if I see it with HTML format, all the columns appear aligned, but if I select the PDF Format the columns appear unaligned.
Is there something I can do to align the columns with this PDF format ?
Thanks in advance.

The report definition is stored in XML and HTML/XML are 'hand in glove'. In my experience PDF needs more space around values to present them properly. Why? No, idea. I have seen similar effects with saving BO full client reports in PDF.
One trick was to keep everything the same, but reduce the font-size (or choose font Arial-narrow, which is not there in Cognos) and see if it fits without resizing.
Another option may be to avoid setting sizes to a fixed value, but instead choosing for a % distribution. This is a preferred sizing option often used in XML definitions and seems to work better in Cognos.
So set the width of the list to 100% and then distribute this among the columns..

If a reply has really solved your issue than you can choose to mark it as a valuable post. Apart from getting the credit (we're all vain in the end), it serves as an indication for anybody else searching for solutions out of the many available..

Glad it worked for you!
