Hi

I have a report in Crystal Report 10.0.0.533, to generate a legal contract.

The report has a big textbox which contains only a paragraph that may grow several pages, according to the db fields and formulas in the textbox.

The textbox is formated with Arial Font, size 11, and Justify alignment.

The report works fine in the preview window, but when it is exported to pdf, then the last line of the page lost the Justify format. For example:

pag1 last 3 lines:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx

pag2 first 3 lines

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Can this situation be solved?

thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi, I couldn't find a direct solution in crystal.

The problem is in the way that crystal export the text. You can see for yourself by exporting to Word. I think the same process happen when you export to PDF: Crystal put every page in a frame, therefore in the final line the justify align is lost because Crystal see it like an end of paragraph. That would be correct for text in one page, but not for text spanning more than one page.

The solution is to use a Pdf printer like DoPdf or PrimoPDF. Then you have to tell to crystal to use this printer and you will have the same format  that you see in the crystal preview with the justify align correctly included in all pages
