Jud,

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are applicable to HTML and not PDF.

For styling PDF Docs I would recommend Mickey Grackin's excellent articles on the Focus on Developers link from the IB Developer Center (see link in top left of this page)

Jud,

If your output is PDF then CSS will not help you!

If your output is not PDF then tell us what it is (you refered to PDF above) otherwise check out Mickey's documents and you will find the info you need.

As Tony said, PDF and CSS just cannot work together.

However, the Focus stylesheet can be used to great effect to style a PDF document, and Mickeys articles help. There is though one (at least) item in the Focus stylesheet that can be used by PDF but not HTML (to my knowledge), that may give you what you need.

In your style declaration:
.
.
UNITS=PTS
.
.

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=Nn, POSITION=nn,$
.
.


This allows you to position all columns absolutely, PTS is the smallest unit size, giving greater ease of control.

FWIW, I ordered the Keysheet book
DN #
9400250.1106

and it really is a great quick reference to the stylesheet stuff - as well as all the other syntax related stuff. Well worth it at $25, IMHO.

Greetings,

Here's a link to some more information on both the WebFOCUS Keysheet Quick Reference Guide and the (Almost) 1001 Ways to Work With Dates for WebFOCUS guide, now available from Information Builders: http://documentation.informationbuilders.com/keysheet.asp

You can also read this Focal Point post that references both guides: view post

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jenn
