Paper Design Printing and PDF printing problem

Question

I'm using Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3 to create a report that I create a frame , in the frame i cut and pasted text by clicking on the A then pasting the text into it.
I then created a frame with that was at the next level in the object manger with a hyperlink in it. This fame was at the level where the text was that I pasted in the paragraph above. I placed it in the PaperLayout where I wanted it and ran the paper report and it look just fine in the PaperDesign Layout and all so when I create the PDF format and the link works in PDF. But when I print the paperlayout the link prints down a few lines on the page. When I print it through the PDF browser, it prints ok, only the paperlaout has a problems. I pasted the whole page of text before I placed the link where I wanted it.
Is there something else I can try? Appreciate any suggestions or explain, why it moves.
I even got the link to be the color blue.

Answer 1

If I understand the question correctly, you have a static boilerplate text which has some paragraphs. To add hyperlink to some part of the text(not the whole text object), you are placing a frame on top of that particular line of text.
When you Run to Previewer
(or File->Preview Format->PDF/HTMLCSS/..), Report uses screen surface for Fonts and you see it correctly.
However, when you print it from Reports or do File->Generate to File->PDF/HTMLCSS/.., Reports uses the default printer's Fonts for formatting. This means that there could be a slight difference in how the text is formatted in the output as the font metrics for the text might be different. The frame containing the hyperlink might be in the same place where it was placed, however the text might have formatted differently. The text which was overlapping with the frame might have formatted little above or below the frame.
To solve this, instead of using separate frame for hyperlinking texts, you can divide your text and create separate boilerplate text objects for the text which needs to be hyperlinked. You can set the hyperlink property in the Property Inspector of this object. This way, the hyperlinks will be proper in all cases.
