Hello,

We're trying to migrate our PB2021 App to PB2022. I'm noticing an issue while saving a Composite Report with multiple Nested DWs as a PDF. With PB2021, there was a line break coming after a DW with Grouped Rows with Summary while with PB 2022, line break is not coming. This is messing with the format of the report. 

Below is a partial screen shot of the report: 

Content starting with Proposal Conditions is on a separate DW. This always starts on a new page with PB2021, while with PB2022, it is in continuation. Strangely, viewing on screen is fine and coming with a line break with both PB2021 & PB2022.

Any help/ advice to keep PB2021 behavior would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Dipankar

Hi Dipankar;

  Are you using PB 2022 R3 latest build 3356?

We programmatically set the Printer to PDFCreator/ AmyUni calling PrintSetPrinter. For export, we're using NativePDF Feature only. Below are the commands generating PDF for us:



adw.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Method = NativePDF!

adw.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.NativePDF.UsePrintSpec = 'Yes'

adw.SaveAs( ls_path, PDF!, TRUE )

Hi Dipankar;

Interesting .. what happens if you do *not* use that PDFCreator / AmyUni printer default vs pointing to a real printer?

I tried skipping the logic setting the printer. But still, it creates the PDF in the same way.

Hi, Dipankar -

You might want to try dynamically setting the newly-documented (formerly undocumented) PushCutControlToNextPage setting:

    https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022r3/datawindow_reference/PushCutControlToNextPage.html

Maybe this will help.

Best regards, John

Hi John,



This doesn't help in this scenario.

Dipankar
