How to show data in customize format in PDF report
I have single row of data having 30 columns for inventory information.
I am able to show this data in text format on output PDF report. How can I show this data in customize tabular format i.e Receipt format, having some header information, then checklist of inventory items, and other footer information.

Look into styling pdf, adding grid lines. Of course sounds as if you want lines sometime and sometimes not. Search the forum on pdf.

Apart from the WF how to's, how do you plan to physically fit 30 columns in tablular format onto a single page (wide)? Even in landscape, minimal margins, and 3pt font, it's still going to be a challenge. I guess report panelling may be acceptable, but usually if you want PDF, you're trying to get something to print all together on a page width of output.

My question is exactly as Leah replied. I want lines sometimes, also there may be one or 4 data values per line (in header or footer).

Darin, I have mentioned that I am showing information in text format (That I am doing by printing them in Header Section in multiple rows)

Leah, could you please give me some code example?
