Export to PDF 1

[alvintse]

Hi,
I am using crystal report 9 with sql server2000.

I have noticed when I exported the output to pdf format, the font size is smaller than the original report. Is there any way I can do to make them the same?


Thanks.

I've noticed this too - and I don't know of any way to fix it. You might want to try the RTF option - it seems to retain font size and proportions a little better than PDF.

I found this article, though I haven't used it yet. I am on CR version 10 and CE10 and can't find the key in the registry which they talk about in the CR 10 version of this doc.

Whoops wrong doc; here is the CR 10 version of this, which offers a registry key to edit...I did not realize before I posted the last item that the doc for 8.5 was basically indicating that there is no fix for that version.
Have not found a doc for CR 9 yet.

Thanks (and a Star) for the useful link.

It sounds like increasing the field size on the report layout may fix the issue (since the problem arises from Crystal's estimates of whether or not the text would fit within the field boundaries. Please let us know if testing confirms this.
