Hi All,

Does anyone notice the bottom of text not coming out in a PDF footer?

for example

year

shows as :

vear

because the tail of the 'y' (and any other hanging character doesn't get shown)

anyone know why this is or have a work around?

cheers

Nubi,

I tried this and there wasn't a problem with the descenders (y and g).
I suggest you run this example and see if you experience the same problem.

  
-* File PdfFoot.fex
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES 
 BY COUNTRY 
 BY CAR 
 BY MODEL 
 BY BODYTYPE
ON COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
HEADING
"This is my heading"
" "
FOOTING BOTTOM
" "
"This is my footing"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

ah i see the problem we have is using a second blank footing line with a back colour:

 TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SALES 
 BY COUNTRY 
 BY CAR 
 BY MODEL 
 BY BODYTYPE
ON COUNTRY PAGE-BREAK
HEADING
"This is my heading"
" "
FOOTING BOTTOM
"This is my footing"
""
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=FOOTING , FONT=ARIAL,  BACKCOLOR=GREY,$
END 

Nubi,

This looks like a bug. I suggest you notify IB.

nubi,

You could also try increasing the BOTTOMGAP for the FOOTING lines.

TYPE=FOOTING , FONT=ARIAL, BACKCOLOR=GREY, BOTTOMGAP=0.10,$

Nice workaround, Mickey!

Excellent, thanks Mgracken - i like it when the solutions are so easy- i do despair when they are as obvious as this! must not have engaged brain that day....

It sounds like WebFOCUS didn't have its brain engaged.

By the way, nice tag usage in the title. It really stands out. Whereever did you get that idea?
