[CLOSED] PDF output in MRE
Hi,

I have just installed WF7.7.03 and wrote an MRE report that outputs a report in pdf.
I have 391 pages returned and when i start browing the pages i realize that start from page 14 for example the other pages are empty.
I know that i have 391 pages with data in it because i made the same report on our WF7.6.5 and it is returning all the pages.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance.

There was another thread similar to this, have you done a search of the forum ?

I think it was also after an upgrade.

Are you using Unicode now? If so, there is more than likely a special character in your data for output. You need to use a unicode font for your report. Hope this helps.

Hi Kathy,

Yes you are right. Using Lucida Sans Unicode fonts solved the issue.
But i have no control on the fonts that will be used by MRE users.

Is there any friendly solution?
Is there a possibilty to overwrite any selected font by the user using for example a sty file.

Thanks in advance
