Dear Sir,

I got confused when I tried to set the position of text boxes in a page. I checked the user manual however I still don't know how to set a text box to a fixed position and size. The requirement is that they must be fixed even the data (text) is longer than the capacity.

The user manual states that the "shift" is a true/false property while my version is "shift mode" with 3 options: "Increasing Size" "Decreasing Size" "Only in width of component". Could you tell me how can I set the properties to make all the textbox fixed (position and size)?

Another issue is that I saw the output is totally different between the web view and the saved output (pdf, jpg...). I got very confused...

Please set CanGrow, CanShrink and AutoWidth properties of the StiText component in false.

Please set this property in unchecked state.

The best result of export you will see only in Pdf export. The export formats are different. Each format has its own unique singularities.

There is no way to produce exact result in different export formats.

Thank you.

Gotcha.

I took for granted that layout in the StiWebViewer is the final result that would present exactly the same in all formats. While the fact is the html layout is not accurate but just a reference.

Thanks a lot
