I have two fields in my PDF header. The format of my header is like this
"CURRENT UNIT: UNIT# ROOM: ROOM#"
However, sometimes the unit is 4 characters and sometimes it is 3. This throws the position of the word "ROOM" off by one space. Is there a way to correct this so that no matter how long UNIT is, the word "ROOM" will always begin in the same position. Thanks!
You just need to put positioning it it. This should work (you may need to change the 20 to a different number ... it will depend on your font that you use).
Try adding an ending caret > to your field name for UNIT#.
"CURRENT UNIT: <UNIT#> ROOM: <ROOM#"
The ending caret tells focus to retain trailing blanks. So if the field format for UNIT# is A4, the field will always take up 4 spaces even if the value of the field is 1, 2 or 3 characters long. When the ending caret is not there, focus will remove trailing blanks.
Thanks!
