Overlapping lines in HTML content on PDF export [message #1710335]

We have a report showing some HTML data in table cells. We have to generate DOCX and PDF output formats. When generating PDF, sometimes some lines in the HTML content do overlap (see e.g. attached Report Synopse-BIRT-4.3.1-border.pdf Page 3).

I tried to set call padding and margin to 0, which did help just a little bit.
Therefore we added a report parameter targetFormat. When set to pdf an onPrepare script resets margin and padding.

When exporting to DOCX we do not see and overlapping rows (but in docx the bottom border of the table cells is missing Crying or Very Sad

)

We use BIRT 4.3.1 in our application. I also tried to generate the DOCX and PDF formats with BIRT 4.5.0, but i got the same results.

I attached a zip file containing

the .rptdesign file
an XML datasource
PDF and DOCX reports

My main problem is the overlapping in the PDF reports.
Fixing the issue with missing borders in DOCX would also be great.

Could anybody help me fixing this problems.

Thank you
George Kubesch

I noticed the same issue on 4.5.0 and did not find any solution. Sad

It seems to be related to splitting a HTML formatted paragraph because of a pagebreak.

Does anybody have an idea which formatting option to tweak?

Thanx
Alex

Hello my friend!

I was fighting a lot to find a solution for the HTML text overlapping.

In a dream, I figured out if I replace the <p> tags to <span> will solve this issue.

So, there is a simple solution:

In my case, I have some replaces happening and I put these 2 replaces in my record loop:

vars["vConteudoHTML"].replace("<p ", "<span ").replace("</p>","</span>");

The HTML is populated in a Dynamic Text with no overlaps :).
