PDF Report adding white spaces

NEVER MIND.... Why is their no DEL option... Added fm in front of MONTH ('DD fmMONTH YY') and its fixed.
I have a report that goes to a PDF based on a RTF template. On the Dates, the XML Feed looks fine, but when it generates the PDF it is adding random white spaces in the date.
XML Feed:
<REPORT_DATE>31 AUGUST 09</REPORT_DATE>
<ORDER_DATE>19 AUGUST 09</ORDER_DATE>
PDF Returns:
Dated 19 AUGUST 09
31 AUGUST 10
so the year is seperated from the month. The SQL is a TO_CHAR(ORDER_DATE, 'DD MONTH YY') and so on...
Any thoughts from anyone??? Please.....

Saved PDF files have white spaces

When I save a Aperture created photobook as a pdf file the file has a white spaces on either side of each page. This white space shows up in Aperture as black when I create the book and is how I wish to see it. Is there a way to fix this in Aperture? Or can it be done outside of Aperture if needed? I have never edited a pdf file so I am unsure how to proceed there if that is my only option.
The reason I ask this is because I am looking to get a large quantity printed from a printing service that will provide a more attractive printing price when large quantities are ordered. Would a printing service be able to fill in the white with the black that I see in Aperture. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Elliot

This could be as simple as selecting a borderless setting for the page size in the print book dialog prior to using the PDF drop down to save the book. It is hard to tell from your description. The printer and page size options for the real printer do affect the generated PDF file and white space issues are usually due to not having a borderless page size selected.

Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.

Placed Illustrator PDF has extra white space

Illustrator artwork saved as PDF, and placed on an InDesign page comes in with extra white space of around 1 1/3 mm on all
sides. I can't figure out what this unwanted white space is or how to avoid it. Can someone please tell me how to avoid the extra white space.

in which case - i can only apologise for the incorrect advice.
I've never had any problems with eps files - providing that the artwork is tidy.
And I've found loads of problems printing a placed pdf through a digital rip.
I'll leave it down to trial and error... and wish the best of luck.
cheers

PS to PDF files getting white space after 127char

We've had an issue come up at our shop recently that's stumped us. We are spooling .PS and using Distiller to provide PDF with high quality EPS. We noticed the issue as we have a data element that is read by PDFTRON API and the service is seeing line breaks after 127char. We open the same PDFs from Distiller in Illustrator and can view some random white space after the 127 char and at times beyond. The white space/line break are not present when copying the data element from the PDF into a text editor (Ultra Edit) and are also not showing in the .PS file???

Fix the coulmn width of main report which contain the sub report( remains white space of extra width)

Hi,
I am setting the column width of main report and that column is bounded with the sub report which contain some data.
But if width is exceeded other than sub report data that width is showing as white space block.
It should be showing as normal header in gray shade.
Please provide the solution for this. see the screen attached.
Thanks

Hi Raj,
According to your description, you want to show the sub report without any white space in the textbox. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we display a sub report in a textbox, this textbox will always show the whole sub report area. If the textbox is smaller than the report area, this textbox will extend automatically to fit the size of the sub report. Otherwise,
it will has white space inside of the textbox. And if you have white space in your sub report, it will also be displayed in the textbox. So you may need to adjust the sub report size to make it fitted in main report.

Adding white spaces between strings during concatenation in JSTL

Please provide a way to add white space between strings during concatenation in JSTL.
I tried the following.
eg:
<c:set var="even_odd" value="odd">
<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>
I want the output string as "first odd ".
Moreover i am using the above value for generating the class attribute of a row of a table like
<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>>
while printing the value of <c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/> in the page,i am getting correctly as i needed as "first odd".
But while taking the code of the page while rendering by the browser, it is showing like
<tr class="first" odd="">
I think the white space is the problem.
Please provide any solution or hint.

<tr class=<c:out value="first ${even_odd}"/>><tr class="first ${even_odd}">

XSL processor adding white space

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent the XSL processor from inserting
white space as this can affect HTML table layout & other
things.
For example.
XSL contains the following: (On one line)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066"><img
src="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1"/></td>
is converted to (Three lines)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066">
<img rc="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1">
</td>

Adding white spaces

Hi everyone;
How would I add a certain number of white [blank]spaces to the end of a string? I know how to add a space, but don't know how to add more than one. Thanks in advance.

there are several ways. Here is one:
for (int x = 0; x < spaces; x++) {
stringBuffer.append(" ");
return string.toString();

Adding white space in a form field

Hello all,
anyone know if it is possible to add whitespace in a form field.
I have an IF like this ....
<?if:WORKSITE_ADDRESS2=''?>
<?WORKSITE_ADDRESS3?> <?WORKSITE_ADDRESS4?> <?end if?>
I need a space to appear in between WORKSITE_ADDRESS3 and WORKSITE_ADDRESS4.
I can not figure out how to do that ? is it possible ? the results I get are that
the two values are shown with no space in between. Do I have to use separate form fields?
Thanks

Hi,
I hit the same issue a while back, the workaround is to use the CDATA tag. See the below post:
Form fields stripping SPACE characters from IF statement

White spaces jumps on the top page between header and reprot body on middle of a large multiple pages report

I have similar issue with the white pages on the SQL Server 2012 Report Builder
3.0. I created a multiple pages invoice report based on
XML data file, which contains about 80 pages per report. The report runs good. But when try the Print Layout ,(PDF file too) some white space happened on the top of report bodies among or after page 70th of the report combines with the First letter
"R" of Invoiced Company Name. Such as: "R Delivery Inc." or "Rock ..." , " Rose ..." " ,,," means names continues. (The report is sorted with Company name, and company ID). After "R".
(The page # changes based on the "R" name s position in the report), and the white space happens before "R" and jump up and down after. When the Other Letter shows up such like "S", the report text position goes normal until the
end of report, the white space will be gone after "R".   I tried all methods those I could find online to reset the page margins, page breaks, LTrim, RTirm Company names, setting of page breaks. So far all the method meet "R"
will be no cure. (Even I set page break between each instance of a group, company names as “Rock...” and “Rose...“ are still set on same page.   I am wondering, does the SQL Server 2012 Report Builder has pages limitation? Or The Letter "R"
has some bugs hide behind?  Please help!

Hi Helen,
As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by width size is not appropriate in the report. To narrow down this issue, please make sure that Body Width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
If the tablix is a matrix, because of the column group can expand to multiple columns, we should according to the following rule:
Body Width + Extra expanded column width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
Besides, please make sure there are no extra page breaks before each “R”. To check whether the issue is caused by the letter “R”, we can try to use another field to replace the Company Name field.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Get rid of the white space at the top and bottom of the report when Printing as PDF document

Hello All,
I have a wider tablix report which is 29 inches wide. I have given the paper size as custom and width as 29 and height as 11 in report properties.I have deployed it and saved it as PDF document. When I print preview the report I am using the paper size as
tabloid (17 by 11) and selected the orientation as Landscape. I am getting the full report without any stripping but I am getting some extra space at the top and bottom when I print the report. Can anyone help me how to get rid of this space? . I checked the
margins for the report and it was 0in. Please help.
Thank You

Hi There
In Reporting Services (SSRS 2008), there are white spaces preserved in the report body by default. When the white space extends the body size beyond the width of the report, blank pages will be generated. To avoid the issue, you can set the “ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace”
property of the report to “True”.
Please try to adjust your margins (top + side) and hopefully this problem will get resolved
Body Width <= Page Width - (Left Margin + Right Margin)
Horizontal usable area:
X = Page.Width - (Left Margin + Right Margin + Column Spacing)
Vertical usable area:
Y = Page.Height - (Top Margin + Bottom Margin + Header Height + Footer Height)
Body Width <= Page Width - (Left Margin + Right Margin)
Horizontal usable area:
X = Page.Width - (Left Margin + Right Margin + Column Spacing)
Vertical usable area:
Y = Page.Height - (Top Margin + Bottom Margin + Header Height + Footer Height)
If you have any questions please ask.
Many Thanks

How to get rid of white space when creating a PDF file in dynamics ax 2012

Hello,
In Dynamcis AX 2012 we are creating an invoice that is first printed to the screen, but when we convert the invoice to a PDF, white space occurs that our customer cannot have.
We opened a ticket with Microsoft with the following scope layout:
As discussed, I am providing you a copy of our scope agreement for your issue.
Issue Definition: When rendering an SSRS report to screen, report displays as expected. However, when the same report is sent to PDF or printer output, a large white space appears between the header and body of the report.
We've examined every possible setting in the report design properties using Visual Studio, and nothing has been successful in correcting this behavior. Our client has indicated the proper rendering of certain reports is extremely critical to their business relationships with their clients. They've told us that this problem must be fixed or they cannot go live.
Scope Agreement: Provide information on the issue of white space showing between the header and body of the report. May have to rescope issue depending on investigation.
We will now begin working together to resolve your issue. If you do not agree with the scope defined above, or would like to amend it, please let me know as soon as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
So after we worked with MS for a bit and gave them more information, the final conclusion came back from them as follows:
Message: Hello,
When you examine the report, is the report hiding sections during the print out based on some data condition? IF so, this is going to be returned as By Design. Our current reporting framework will reserve space for the controls even if they are not visible when the report is printed to file (xps, pdf, may even do it if exported to Excel). If this is the case, we don't have anything we can do about it. Development is aware of this issue/limitation, but at this point, we have no workaround for it.
So the question is: Have you ever ran across this issue and does Adobe have a potential solution as Micrsoft does not. Or do you have a potential work around.
Thanks!
Allen Shannon

If you want this to bleed, then you will have to print on oversize paper and trim or find a printer that will print borderless.

How can I maintain multiple white spaces in a PDF written from InDesign?

I need to have 2 white spaces maintained (within a part #) in the PDF I write, but when I open in Acrobat it converts it to one space.
I've tried word spaces, set spaces and applying "no color" to a placeholder character and nothing is working!
Any ideas or suggestions?

I am talking about normal white space. Multiple fixed widt spaces are not a problem. How the space is handled in a PDF depends on how it is created.

It may not be a great idea to use multiple spaces, but it certainly is not prohibited and sometimes is necessary -- you might want a 2em space, or a thin space before and after a tab you underline in a form.
I'm able to select the multiple spaces just fine in Acrobat 9 using the text touch-up tool.
