Hello,

I am reading a text type column from MS Sql database to Birt. On HTML everything looks fine but when I print it to PDF the text doesn't look ok anymore.

In PDF I don't get any line changes.

Datatype for the Birt element is String.

edit: Actually in PDF I only get the first line.

Basically it's text saved from normal html text box to database. It's in MS SQL Text type column.

So I believe that text comes with char(13)+char(10) line changes. Or atleast that has been common earlier. I tried to replace those marks in Birt with a placeholder, but I saw no replacement. dataSetRow["Lisätietoja"].replace(String.fromCharCode(13)+String.fromCharCode(10), "</ br>")

Also I tested to export the document to word. There the lines changes worked just fine.

Example of my problem.

I did not get the attachment. Are you using a text box or a dynamic
text box report item in the design to display it?

Alright!

Yeah I had just drag and dropped the data set from the data source menu to the project. Now I added a new Dynamic Text box and bind it to data source. I actually had tried this before, but i got reference errors. Now that I did the biding correctly on the dynamic textbox, the text output was like magic.

So problem solved. Thank you very much.
