1.) When exported to PDF, expressions in textboxes located on report header are not evaluated.

example:

Expression: ="Test" & vbcrlf & "Here"

PDF: it is displaying as "Test Here" instead of displaying "Here" in the second line

2.) Ignoring margins specified in report Layout.

3.) I have an expression Globals!PageNumber on the report. When exported to PDF it is displaying page number as 1 on all the pages.

 

 

 

 

I am developer with AXIS CAPITAL (NEW YORK). We are interested in buying this product. I was wondering if someone from the support could answer some of the concerns/issues we are facing with the trial version (1.5.0.0)

Hi

 

Thank you for your interest in Aspose products. Since the request is related to Aspose.Pdf, I will move this thread to the corresponding forum and my colleagues from Aspose.Pdf team will answer you shortly.

 

Best regards,

Hi,

Sorry for your inconvenience!

About the first question, there is something wrong with the support of VB code, but you can use special symbol to replace it to get the expected result. for example:

     "test" & vbcrlf & "here" , you can replace the string as "test #$NL here"

That is to say, the special symbol '#$NL' would make line break.

About the second question, I think that we may have some different viewpoint on the margin of report. In Aspose Pdf, the margin of report comes from the value of Report.Margin, and the header or footer would be placed in the area of top or bottom margin.

About the third question, it is similar with the first question.there is something wrong with the support of embedded variables. Of course, it can be fixed by replacement symbols. for example:

The expression about '=Globals!PageNumber' can be replaced with '$p',

The expression about '=Globals!TotalPages' can be replaced with '$P'.

In spite of that, we would try to fix them in later version.

Thanks for the response. I havent understood your answer for the second question.  Let me rephrase it.

2.) In the attached rdl file, I have the set the top margin as 1in and bottom margin as 1in. Both of these values were ignored by the ASPOSE.

In order to set the margin, I opened report properties window Report -> Report Properties. Then I clicked on "Layout tab" and specified the margins there.

 

Hi,

In my attchment files, the file 1in_Pdf.JPG demonstrates the report with 1in top margin, and 2in_Pdf.JPG file demonstrates 2in top margin.

It is easy for you to find the difference between the two files.

All of that, the postion of header is the same, because it is placed in the area of top margin, and the position value away from the edge of page is the same in design.

Hello Venu,

I have tested the scenario with latest version of Aspose.Pdf for Reporting Services (which will be published soon) and as per my observations, the issue #1 and #3 seem to be resolved. However, we are looking into the details of issue #2. Please be patient and spare us little time. Once all the issues are resolved, we would be pleased to update you with the status of correction.

We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.

PS, For your reference, I have attached the resultant PDF that I have generated. Please take a look.

Dear Venu,

Problem with VB constant is header is logged under PDFNET-20318 . At this moment we can not provide functinallity to use Globals!PageNumber, but we are already planned to implement it. Please, use predefined constants as it was mentioned before

http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.pdf-for-.net/image-page-number-in-headerfooter-section.html

We will keep you informed.

Thanks.
