1214887 - Memo field is truncated when exported to PDF from Visual Studio .NET

Symptom

A .NET application uses Crystal Reports (CR) for Visual Studio (VS) .NET or Crystal Reports (CR) 9 as the reporting development tool. The application uses a report containing a memo field with the 'Can Grow' option selected.

 

When exporting the report to Portable Document Format (PDF), some of the text in the right side of the memo field is truncated.

 

This also affects large, dense text objects in the report.

Cause

The issue has been identified and tracked under ID ADAPT00102129.

Resolution

Hot Fix updates addressing this issue are available as indicated below. With the update(s), the method of retrieving font metrics for text objects has been modified such that it retrieves a slightly smaller font size which, in turn, enables the text to fit within the text object.

Unless indicated otherwise, Weekly Hot Fix updates from the FTP site have only been tested with English versions of our products.
