- created · Harjit Bains 19 Jul 2024 10:28Hi, when I export a report to PDF, the formatting is broken. Some of the table columns are overlapping and text is being cut off. I need to send this to trustees next week and it needs to look professional. Can you sort this quickly?
- Public reply · Bethan Lister 19 Jul 2024 23:19Hi Harjit, I've picked this up. Can you send me a copy of the PDF that's showing the problem? That way I can see exactly what's happening and work out what's gone wrong. Thanks, Bethan
- Public reply · Harjit Bains 22 Jul 2024 10:31Hi Bethan, I've attached the PDF, you'll see the table is unreadable because the columns are too close together and overlapping. This is affecting my client reports. I need this fixed before Thursday when the trustees meet. Thanks.
- Internal note · Bethan Lister 24 Jul 2024 11:09Investigated PDF export. Bug in the column width calculation, it's not accounting for longer cell values. Arjun has a fix in progress.
