PDF output and boxes....

[pbare]

Hi All,

I was just wondering if it is possible to create a PDF output from JDE and place boxes around the data

My users would like to see something similar to this

Employee Information
------------------------------------------------
|Name: Smith, John |
| |
|Title: Vice President |
| |
| . |
| . |
| . |
------------------------------------------------

I know that you can use a third party tool to do this but the business doesn't feel it would be necessary for the few reports that they want to do this to

Any suggestions/thoughs would be great.

Thanks
Pam

Add a text constant in some large-pointszie font (like Arial Narrow) to your group section, and type only spaces in it. Then go to formatting properties and set the formatting to draw a box around the "spaces only" text object.

The spaces won't be output to the PDF, but the Box will. You don't get very finely grained control, but it can be made to work.

In addition make your fields fixed length else it would be misaligned.
