I have a text box which is 7.5" wide and I set Can Grow. Inside the textbox I have placed a TEXT database field. I set the field to use the RTF format. When I export the report to PDF on the developer machine I am able to get the word wrapping where it should be (after the finagling with the right margin). However, when I export the report on the server, I get word wrapping about an inch sooner than on the development machine.
So here is some more information: the PDF of the report is generated by an ASP.NET application on both the development machine (from within VS 2008) and the server; I am using the Crystal Reports VS 2008 runtime.
I have tried a few ideas so far:
I found out that Wordpad does not save the page margins into the RTF document. It always uses the last used settings for the page margins which is 1.25" L-R and 1" T-B.
I tried editing the RTF source and adding the appropiate page margins: \margl720\margr720\margt720\margb720 which sets all margins to 720 twips (0.5").
I tried setting the Wordpad defaults for the page margins to 0.5". This is different for each user though. I have the Application Pool for the ASP.NET application running as a specific user. I tried setting it under that user and no change. Is it possible that the Crystal Report is being generated under a different user? Or that Crystal Reports always uses a specific user for this information?
After the settings on the server had no effect, I set the margins on the development machine back to the default and re-ran the report. This causes the report to have the same problem as on the server. So it has to be something with the Wordpad page margins.
So the question is: how do I get these settings set for the server? Or how can I figure out under which user the Crystal Report is being generated?
