We have a 2-column newspaper datawindow with a heading at the top that goes across the entire page and then the data in the detail band. Everything displays correctly in Print Preview mode in our application. We need to save this as a PDF so we can give to our team / customers. When we save to PDF it is only displaying our header in one column of the printout. We are using PB 2023R3. Is this a known limitation or issue?

Thanks for that information! The next question ...
Is that the NewsPaper designed DW or a Tabular DW that has been put into "newspaper" display mode?

Hi Brian;
AFAIK not too many PB developers use that DW design / setting combination - so I am thinking that this issue could be related to that DWO usage.. I would suggest - if you can - to open a support ticket and submit a simple PB Test Case App that uses that same DWO you have the PDF with that replicates the same PDF rendering problem, so that Appeon can have Engineering take a look at this issue.
As a workaround, does the use of a PostScript printer driver work (aka Distill! mode) for correct PDF generation?
