line breaks in pdf ? [message #111534]

Hi @ all,

I have a really odd problem.
I'm working with BIRT since M1 and most of my reports are from that era.
I have a scripted datasource and using Pojos.
On the startpage of my report i have a data-field where I show a short
summary of the datas.
The code is:
=========================== C O D E ===========================
text="";
it = ht.keySet().iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
key = it.next();
text1=key.toString()+": ";
text2=ht.get(key)+"\n";
text=text+text1+text2
}
test+"";
=========================== / C O D E ===========================
the problem is the line-break inside.
In HTML it looks fine, but when I generate a PDF there are no line-breaks
any more.
I have this issue since BIRT 2.0 RC1.
Has it anything to do with the i-Text?
Does anybody know what character-sequence I have to enter for a line-break?

MfU & best regards,
Thomas.

Hi,

I'm using BIRT 2.6.2 and i'm facing the exact same problem. Carriage return+line feed in a data field are displayed correctly in the HTML version, but in the PDF version I've only got the first line of the text, the rest is skipped.

Any idea ?

Regards

Ok, I've found a workaround. I have to change the "whitespace" property of my data field from "auto" to "preformatted" and now it also works in the PDF format.

The difference of behavior between the HTML and the PDF version with "whitespace=auto" is not a good idea, for my point of view, because it looks fine in HTML.
