Hello,

Does anyone know any StyleSheet features that are equivelant to COLSPAN and HEADALIGN which are not supported for the PDF format? I am trying to apply some custom column headers that span over several columns and once I send to PDF it stops working. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tony

Thanks for your replies. The User requirements have changed (again) from PDF to Excel and the COLSPAN works perfectly in XLS. If the requirements should change back to PDF I will definatately use the recommendations you provided.

Anthony,

I wrote two extensive articles on HTML and PDF report design which are available under the Tips and Techniques section of the IB - Developer Center. Part II may be more applicable to your PDF layout needs if your customer changes back to PDF again.

Here's the link:

Thanks!
