RTF-field cut off | Tables displayed distorted issue

Post by maf »

Hello,

I ran into a problem with the Stimulsoft Reports.Net 2011.3.1200 while trying to display any sort of (larger)tables of an RTF-field in a report.

The original RTF-table in the RTF-editor (1) takes nearly the whole horizontal space of the page, but it still fits with a ~2cm gap between the (horizontal) borders.
So, in the report-designer (2), the RTF-field got a distance of <1,5cm to the page border. The dimension is DIN A4 for both: RTF-editor & Report-designer.
Nevertheless, the rendered report (3) is displaying the RTF-table 'distorted' and especially not fully. In the most cases just two rows and after this a few centimeters of blank space.

My question is, possibly as expected, why is the table cut off after a few rows? How can I fix it? Is it already fixed in a more recent version of Stimulsoft Reports.Net?

1. RTF-editor view (how it should be)

2. Report-designer view (how the RTF-field is implemented)

3. Rendered report view (how it's erroneously displayed)

I've searched for a problem but found nothing like this. I'm sorry if there is already a post for this issue.

Kind regards,
Marley

Hello, Marley.

The Rich Text is supported in .Net Framework with help of the system Riched20 library.
The MS Word add some extra features to Rich Text. We support standard features only.
We process the Rich Text with standard Windows library as it is done by the WordPad.
You could open the attached rtf-file in WordPad and will see the same as in exported to PDF report.

Thank you.
