We have a Oracle Report Concurrent Program which is basically using a RDF Template. Concurrent program outputs the file in PDF. The font size for the fields within the repeating frame, whatever I assign in the Report Builder is not reflecting when run as a concurrent program. For the fields outside the repeating frame it’s not an issue. Also we had a character set update to our EBS DB recently. Since then the font within the repeating frame has become larger. Any idea why it’s so?
US7ASCII
After AL32UTF8 change, it font has become larger with no change to template.
I am wondering why to use a report builder template to create a PDF report layout while you have the XML publisher with all its facilities and the ease to design any template using MSWord.
But generally, the update of the character set shouldn’t have any impact on the report layout or output. Also, is this issue exists in all reports or only in this report? try to delete this repeating frame or create a new one, the same as the one that has the issue, and observe the new one.
The issue exists in other reports also. But here, in this specific report, certain fields aren’t getting displayed as there is no space after the font became bigger and so it got to be a noticeable issue.
I made some changes to the alignment and those fields are getting displayed now. But the question here is how the font got changed.
