(Crystal Reports Version XI 11.0.0.2495 )

Hi,

I have created a table/grid in the report details section by using the "Outside Borders" tool to surround the report fields then moved them around in order to join them to each other in a row. This appears to show the data as if in a table/grid when viewed in preview; this is also fine when I print the report out. However if I export to a PDF using the "Export Report" tool; the table is displayed with white space between the rows, breaking the table up.

I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a table that would get around this problem and I just can't see it for looking?

Thanks for your help

Hey Tom,

Try rt clicking on "Details"/"Section Expert" and click on "Format Multiple Columns".

Keep the boxes you made around the fields as they'll be duplicated too. Play around with

it and look at the help files.

Hope this helps,

Tom, Not sure if this will help, but check the printer settings, and try setting to no printer, just to see what happens. Also, you can try different printer definitions, just to see what happens. Exports to PDF's (And keeping the nice formating )can be tricky sometimes
