Hi ,
We have an Asp.net website which has a facility to displays the Crystal Reports using the Crystal report viewer (Currently using service pack 5 13.0.5.XXX).
But when we export /print the Crystal report the font size is reduced.
For example:
1. When we export the Crystal report to PDF the font is reduced by 10% of the original (i.e. If the font was 20 pt it is only 18 pt when exported).
2. When we print a Crystal report the font is reduced by 10% of the original (i.e. If the font was 20 pt it is only 18 pt when printed).
3. When we export to Word the font is reduced by 0.5 pt (i.e. If the font was 20 pt at design time it is only 19.5 pt when exported).
Looking at the other forums we found the following registry key workaround.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf]
"ForceLargerFonts"=dword:00000001
"UsePrecisePositioningForText"=dword:00000001
"TruncationAdjustment"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf]
"ForceLargerFonts"=dword:00000001
"UsePrecisePositioningForText"=dword:00000001
"TruncationAdjustment"=dword:00000002
After applying the workaround, we experience the following behavior.
1. When we export the Crystal report to PDF the font is usually same.
2. When we print the Crystal report it is better then before (before registry key workaround), but it is still smaller then the original.
3. The fix had no effect on Word export (i.e. If the font was 20 pt at design time it is only 19.5 pt when exported).
Can you please help us with the following
1. Any other fix that can help to retain the font size when printing the crystal report document.
2. Fix for retaining the font size when exporting to Word.
Thank you.
