[CLOSED] Column Title getting trimmed when exported to PDF

Hi,
When I export my html report to PDF, column titles are getting trimmed. It works fine with EXL2k.

Column titles are lenghier, so it report has 10 columns. I set WRAP for each column to make it fit in one page.
Column titles should have the same width and they should display in two lines.

Please let me know any fix/solution.

Thanks !!
Bharathi

Hi...
I am here to elaborate on the issue.

Title of a column(which is lengthy) in PDF is getting
truncated and ! symbol is added.
I had used WRAP and it is not working for TITLE.
let me know if anyone has a solution for this.

Thanks in advance!!

"I had used WRAP and it is not working for TITLE."

Have you tried
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=column-name, WRAP=n, $

I don't think you can Wrap a column title in PDF.
You can try this.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR AS 'MY,NEW,CAR'
BY COUNTRY
END

The comma puts it on a new line.

Yes, I used the same. It wraps the data , but not the title.

My apologies - WRAP does not work on column titles when the output type is PDF. It works for HTML and EXL2K. Mickey's great article mentions PDF WRAP but only discusses it in the context of the column data, not the column title.

I would open a tech support case as I believe this behaviour is wrong.

Hi Bharathi,

You can use SUBHEAD or HEADING to get the title text and then position those over each column. So it gives a illusion like column title and wrap works in subhead and heading.

Thanks,
Ram
