Helper IIIPaginated Reports -> Text Truncates when using "Export to PDF" specifically
For anyone following this post, it seems I am not the only one experiencing this issue. There is a similar post with a workaround found on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12922665/first-textbox-in-tablix-cell-defeats-cangrow-of-other-textboxes-if-it-spans-page
I just tested this out and it does prevent the text from cutting off by adding a 2nd rectangle within the rectangle to capture page 2 elements.
Hi sedric1 ,
I'm sorry I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. I tried exporting the paginated report to a word or pdf file respectively, and the long text in it is displayed properly. My report settings are the same as yours. What is the version of Report Builder you are using? Please check the screenshots below shows my paginated report settings and the Report Builder version information.

Export to PDF and Word file
I checked the screenshot of your exported pdf file and found that any text longer than one line will be truncated (including the field Policy Description and Downtime Procedures). Please double-check the settings of the paginated report to see if there are some settings that affect the display of the pdf file...
Exported PDF, truncated data not shown in the exported report but correctly shown in form view.

sedric1Hi Anonymous - thanks for taking the time to look! Here is my report version builder first, which appears to be a hair off.
The 2nd thing I wanted to confirm with you is that I also tried to build the same exact field on a brand new report and also couldnt reproduce this issue which is puzzling. It would seem that some report level setting is causing this or a pdf level as you mentioned.
one of those pages you listed mentioned page dimensions as page width > body width + left + right margins. I just confirmed left and right margins are .25 each, and the body with is 10.46875in. The page width is 11 inches so i believe that to be ok.
We confirmed the cangrow properties are on and the allow height to increase checkboxes are on for the checkboxes.
Maybe another piece of information is that the textboxes in the body are all contained within a rectangle. Not sure if that makes a difference but the rectangle itself is the same height of the body. So still wondering what is special about this report file that might cause the truncation but not quite sure - although still digging before completely rebuilding it.
