Text is truncating because of big font in BO 4.0

Hi,
I am using BO 4.0 o generate reports and export into PDF. When we generate reports the test statements are expanded till the right end corner, because of big size font. So when we print the reports it is going till the end and it is getting truncated.
I have used ' TruncationAdjustment' & 'UsePrecisePositioningFortext' eventhough the font is coming bigger.
The same report is coming fine from BOXI R2.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hello,
can you please provide a detailed workflow we can follow to reproduce the problem?
Thanks!

  • TitledBorder Text is Truncated

    Hello all,
    This must be a common problem.
    Here's a simple version of the problem: I have a JPanel using a FlowLayout. Within the JPanel I have a JLabel whose text is a single character in length. When I place a TitledBorder around the JPanel, the border's text is truncated because the FlowLayout layout manager does not consider the border text when it gets the size of the JPanel. Please see the sample code below.
    Is there a way to make sure the border's title is taken into account by the layout manager?
    Yes, I know I can get the size of the border's text, convert it to pixels, override the panel's getPreferredSize() method, etc. but that's so ugly.
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Tester2 {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setBackground(Color.pink);
          panel.add(new JLabel("X"));
          panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Long TitledBorder Text"));
          f.getContentPane().add(panel);
          f.pack();
          f.setVisible(true);
    }

    I think I know the answer to my own question....
    First, let me say I think this is a Swing bug (perhaps a FlowLayout bug) because the preferred size of the panel does take into account the border's height when using a TitledBorder but not the width. The preferred size of a component should take into account both the height and width of a border (if one is in use). If you run the sample program you'll see the preferred height certainly does take the border's height into account but not the width.
    Second, there is a method in javax.swing.border.TitledBorder:
    getMinimumSize(Component c)
    This method allows a workaround for the truncation of the border's text. I simple set the panel's preferred width to that returned by getMinimumSize() and I'm good to go.
    I'm not 100% sure about all this, I'll investigate more tomorrow and post a bug w/Sun if warranted.
    Any comments or suggestions are still very welcome, of course.

    I have found four things that I always check when I run into this problem.  I have yet to find a time when one of these didn't work (specifically helps when reading data from flat files but I suppose most of the four would apply to any source).  Check out my blog post, content repeated below:
    1.  Make sure to properly configure the "Flat File Source".  When setting the connection properties to the flat file, take time to click on the advanced tab and ensure that the" Name", "DataType", and "OutputColumnWidth" properties are set properly.  I have found that if this is setup correctly when the initial connection is created, some if not all of the data type issues and errors can be alleviated.  The "Flat File Connection Manager Editor" can be accessed while initially creating the connection or by double clicking on a flat file connection within the "Connection Managers" for connections that have previously been created. 
    2.  Depending on the order and steps that were used to create the connection to the flat file, sometimes the data types need to be updated in an additional area.  This can be found by right clicking on the "Flat File Source" and selecting "Show Advanced Editor...".  Once in the advanced editor, click on the "Input and Output Properties" tab.  Expand the "External Columns" folder.  For each field being loaded from the flat file there are some configurable properties.  Make sure that the "DataType" field is properly set for each field.
    3.  Something else that can be done if you are sure that the data type is set correctly in both of the two previously mentioned locations is to set the "Flat File Source" to essentially ignore those annoying truncation errors.  On the same "Input and Output Properties" tab, expand the "Output Columns" folder.  For those fields listed, there is a "TruncationRowDisposition" property.  By default this is set to "RD_FailComponent".  This can be switched to "RD_IgnoreFailure" in order to allow the data to successfully pass through the "Flat File Source" even if SSIS believes that truncation is going to occur.  Along with making this change, you can also check the "DataType" in the "Output Columns" as well.
    Caution: If you do set the "Flat File Source" to "RD_IgnoreFailure" as mentioned above, always take time to review the data loaded in the target table to ensure that the integrity of the data was not jeopardized.
    Note:  I have found that when the "DataType" for both the "External Columns" and "Output Columns" is manually updated that it does not remain the same when the advanced editor is reopened.  For this reason, try Steps 1 and 2 before setting the "Output Columns" manually.
    4.  The last thing to try, and this applies specifically to loading data from Excel files as opposed to text or CSV is to set the package to run in 32-bit mode.  Click on "Project" on the top menu and select "Data Imports Properties...".  Click on "Debugging" under the "Configuration Properties" and set the "Run64BitRuntime" to "False".
    Working with data from flat files can sometimes be difficult in SSIS.  By using one or many of the approaches I have listed above you should be able to create a repeatable process that is frequently needed within most SSIS packages.  Be very careful when setting data types within SSIS and make sure to do it upfront when necessary because it can be harder to debug later in the development process.  If the proper changes are made it should not be a surprise to feel a big SSIS developer sense of relief when the screen shows all green.
    Let me know if this works!

  • Text is truncated on the right side of a text field. How to solve?

    Hi group,
    I use CR for the .NET Platform 10.2 (VS 2005/.net2.0). In several cases the texts in my crystal reports are truncated on the right side of the text fields (which can show more than one line and which are set in the way that it increases if more than one line is needed).
    I created the CRs with CR in VS 2003. Then I migrated the VB.net project from VS 2003 to VS 2005. Then, when I opened a CR in VS 2005 and saved it again I got the message that it will be changed to the newer version if I click "yes" (or perhaps it was the "ok" button). I guess that was the moment the CR was migrated to the newer CR version.
    Because of the truncation problem I created one of the CRs completely new with exactly the same settings (i.e. the heigths of the sections, the widths of the text fields, and all the other setting are completely identical to the CR created in VS 2003). Interestingly, the texts are truncated in none of the text fields any more.
    Have I done the migration correcty? (Is it really opening the CR and saving it an saying "yes" or should I rather have done it in another way?)
    Does somebody of you already have had this kind of problem? How could it be solved without creating all CRs anew?
    Does recreating a CR which shows truncation of texts really solve it, or is truncation caused by something else, perhaps a certain property of a CR etc?
    The "printer" is set to "no printer" in all CRs. The truncation does show independent of whether the registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts" is set to 1 or to 0.
    Thanks for help in advance
    Kind regards
    Michael

    Hi Ludek,
    I already installed crvs05sp1 a few months ago (still traceable by the dir "C:Program FilesCommon FilesBusiness ObjectsPatchesCrystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Service Pack 1" on my computer).
    Unfortunately, I cannot find any fitting entry in the kbase. If I search for "text truncation" or "text truncated" i get results but they are about pdf or word or fixed truncation problems in older CR versions.
    It seems as if I am the only one who has to face this problem :-).

  • Big Font Problems

    Hi, I decided I'd still all the fonts from my old G4 Powermac onto my Macbook Pro and put them onto a memory dongle and started click and dragging the folders into Font Book (well over a thousand), during which it named quite a few files as corrupt and warned me not to install them.
    Just as I went to tell it not to install them I brushed my dongle so and a warning message came up telling me the device was not removed properly, also Font Book crashed before I could tell it not to install fonts. All this whilst I was installing. I had to force quite the whole finder and restart and now when I go to open say Word, a screen comes up again and again stopping me from getting anywhwere saying:
    "please remove font (say TImes) as it is corrupt", then once I've removed that font from font book, another one...then another one and another one, I've been here half a day deleting fonts, sometimes they are important fonts like Arial and Helvetica and it warns me not to delete them in Font Book because they are system fonts and could effect the running of some aplications, but at the same time Word tells me to delete them, I've had to dissable all my fonts because everything workds slow. I want to delete all my fonts and start again but from where can I recover the standard fonts my computer came with? And would I be risking any of the applications in the meantime?
    What shall I do next and is there any quick way of distinguising the corrupt fonts (seems to be about half) from all the no corrupt fonts?
    Cheers,
    Ray
    Sorry if this is a really thick question

    OK solved.
    Yes the problem was that although all the fonts were showing as normal in the system folder they were a few remaining fonts in Font Book (just the system ones) and they were deactivated, I've since activated and will not be touching it any longer as there's no need.
    With Extensis it does tell you to not only have the system fonts active at all times but also Helvetica as many applications need that font, so I activated Helvetica out of the many versions I have. Only after further research what I should have done is activate specifically "Helvetica.dfont", that's the key and is the main font used in web pages like Google and Yahoo on Safari and Mail on macs, everything looks normal now. Also, after activating all the other system fonts listed above again the red star appeared back on the mail icon to notify me of new mail
    Also what I like now that my fonts (around 20 thousand) have been orgonized sorted from roots up is that everything loads so speedily!..on boot up, when opening software like Word, Photoshop and Illustrator, which can often take ages if you have a wrongly placed big font collection.
    OK, thanks for all the help guys, but guess what, I have ONE LAST PROBLEM, and I won't bother you any more, promise.
    Last month, I had spent ages typing out the most perfect CV in word, I did a print version where I used variations of Helvetica, and an Email version for sending to office by Email where to avoid font substitution problems with PC users not having Helvetica I used Arial. I had a very tight layout with small letters, had a lot of trouble getting all my lines in there, as I used a table layout I'd made, and after a lot of tweaking and cursing had finally made things look perfect without tables jumping onto the next screen and leaving lots of white gaps. It was the ultimate perfect CV and a lot of people had commented on how it was so clear, and an example of how a CV should look as it wasn't over laden with graphics, stupid styles, overkill distracting font variations and colours etc etc.
    Anyway, went to open them again just this evening to print and send out some more copies for a new job that's appeared and...nightmare! Everything is all over the place, fonts have been substituted to Times New Romany serif looking ones, and bold typefaces to some other crappy san serif. The tables that I'd spent ages making stay still have jumped all over the place due to font substitutions.
    So obviously I went to Extensis Suitcase and made sure that all the Helveticas I have were activated (tonnes) and that all the Arial I have was activated. But when I went to re open word after re-starting it, sadly same problem.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Adding text to indesign pages with specific font ,size,and color using javascript

    Hello,
    Using javascript i am able to add some text to each page of an indesign file.
    myNewText = "SOME TEXT"
    myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item(0);
    tempframe = myTextFrame.contents;
    myTextFrame.contents =  myNewText + tempframe ;
    But i want to specify the font used,size and color for that text.
    When i try the code mentioned in indesign javascript scripting guide
    myNewText .appliedFont = app.fonts.item("Times New Roman");
    myNewText .fontStyle = "Bold";
    nothing gets changed and font family already used stays the same.
    How can i do that only for the added text and not for the whole content?I dont want to add the text to a new text frame I want to append it to the existing text frame.
    And is there a way to specify font size too?
    thank you

    There's a mixup going on here. Let's see if we can sort out some of it
    at least.
    If you just want to add new text to an already existing text frame,
    that's easy:
    myTextFrame.contents += "Hello";
    But if you want the new text to have unique formatting, it's a little
    more complicated.
    There are two simple ways to do it, I think:
    1. Create a temporary text frame, as you have done, and add the text,
    and format everything in there. Then move() that formatted text to the
    end of myTextFrame and delete the temporary frame:
    tempFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
    tempFrame.contents = "New Text";
    tempFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Times New
    Roman"); // etc...
    tempFrame.paragraphs[0].move(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1],
    LocationOptions.AFTER);
    tempFrame.remove();
    2. The other option, is to add the text directly to your textFrame. But
    if you want to format only that text, you have to store where the text
    started:
    myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
    firstInsertionPoint = myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1].index;
    myTextFrame.contents += "New Text";
    myAddedText =
    myTextFrame.characters.itemByRange(myTextFrame.insertionPoints[firstInsertionPoint],
    myTextFrame.insertionPoints[-1]);
    myAddedText.appliedFont = app.fonts.itemByName("Trajan Pro"); // etc.
    What you've done in your sample script, however, is to try to apply a
    font to a simple JavaScript string. It won't work, but the way you did
    it, it won't throw an error either, because in fact you've created a new
    property of your string. (myString = "Hello"; myString.appliedFont =
    "Times"; // myString now has a Javascript property called appliedFont --
    but that's nothing to do with InDesign!)

  • The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the do

    Hi,
    I created a PDF from a Word document that used Cambria font, and when I select it in Acrobat to try to change the font I get "The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved"
    How can I change the font and why is it preventing me from doing so?
    Thanks,
    Juan

    Juan,
    No, Acrobat is not a word processor.
    More to the point Acrobat lets one "work" PDF and PDF is not a file format designed as a word processing, editing, formating, or page layout file format.
    PDF is, essentially, a "final destination" format.
    What it is is described in the ISO Standard for  PDF (ISO 32000-1).
