I need to print a wide table from page on Wikipedia. The article uses the Thai alphabet for a table of Thai vowels. When I generate PDF there's only a part of table. Only solution I see is download page (html source code), extract, delete everything I don't need and then print the table. Does someone know better approach to do this?
I just tried saving this article as PDF from Chrome, and the tables looked fine. The PDF generated by Chrome does not exhibit the same problems as the one generated by Wikipedia.
You can access Chrome's PDF generation functionality through the Print menu.

I am thinking about opening a PDF file with some editable fields in the browser , by which i can modify the PDF file / fill information etc and then save that PDF FORM
Please guide me in a right direction ?
I think in your case Rad PDF can work. It is a PDF Viewer and Editor for ASP.NET by which you can open the PDF with editable fields in browser and can even modify the PDF and save it.
Check the link:- https://www.radpdf.com/demo/easy-integration/
and another one is below:-

Hope it will work in your case.
Thanks
You cannot. Simple.
PDFs are edited by the native app, in your case may be Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer. You do not have control on anything that happens when the user edits the PDF in a native app context.
Pdf documents come in many flavors (standards). One of them (FDF) matches your usecase very closely. This particular standard allows you to edit a pdf form, on completion (or some other event) it would send the data back to a server, collect a response, and modify the pdf with the incoming data.
Keep in mind though that this standard is not often used. There may be a good reason for that (not a lot of libraries support it).
I have a WordPress blog that has a hyperlink to a PDF report. The user clicks the link and the report PDF opens up in another tab. When it opens up in another tab it uses whatever PDF software is on the local machine (e.g. for me it uses Adobe Reader to view the PDF online).
Is there any way at all that the ability to then select the PDF text, right-click, Copy and then Paste it in to a Word document or such (effectively stealing the information) can be stopped in some way?
On the same page that has the highlighted text mentioned we also have a link to download the entire report which is said PDF. When this is done, because the PDF was secured in Acrobat before being uploaded to WordPress if someone tries to edit the text then they cannot as the restrictions are in place - but why are the restrictions not in place when the PDF is viewed online?
Any assistance or advice on how to protect the PDF contents when viewed online (I realise it may not even be possible but I am open to suggestions) would be greatly appreciated.
You can start by modifying the security properties on the document itself. I'm not sure if you can do this with Adobe Reader, but I know you can do it with Acrobat Pro. Here's an article that describes how to disable copy/paste, printing, etc. etc. I tested in IE8, FF, and Chrome -- it looks like the permissions are honored.
my report has no header and footer. my report shows show data according to country wise means grouping done on country code. i set a page break at end on the group as a result each group data is coming in new page. everything is working fine the problem is
when i click on export to pdf button on toolbar then data export to pdf but data looks very ugly when i open the pdf.
first of all there was heading at the top of report which was not at the same place when i open the pdf...header shows very below. the reason i just do not understand. lots of black space shown in report in pdf file but when report render in webpage then it looks ok. the main things is the way report render and shown in web page the same way data is not shown in pdf after exporting. why it occur i just could not figure it....so guide me what i need to do extra things as a result data should looks same in web page and in pdf file.
when i export data to ms-word format then file was created but could not open.
when i export data to excel then excel file shown data fine but all groups comes in different sheet and another problem i see that some time big text truncated.
so these are the problem i faced after exporting report to various type of file format. please anyone who faced this problem and solved it share the info with me. thanks
I'm guessing some of your layout issues are because you have overlapping objects which will render differently depending on how you export them. I would try removing any overlapping objects / rectangles and seeing if that clears up your rendering issues.
I need users to be able to enter text in a webform with some basic formatting options and then generate a report showing the formatted text.
The support for HTML is horrible and entering a simple bulletlist doesn't even show properly in the report.
Right now i'm using a textarea with tinyMCE but that's because i don't know what else to use.
Is there a known best-practice for showing formatted text in a Crystal Report?
Edit
I just need to show a report with a bunch of text and icons. Users need to be able to save it to PDF. I doesn't even have to be Crystal Reports but it's what i have been using and worked so far. Until i needed to show formatted text.
I wish for another solution that comes with a designer and let's me bind against a DataSet.
The solution is to convert the HTML to RTF. RTF support in CR is much better than it is for HTML. This way users can still use the tinyMCE editor and even paste Word formatted HTML.
The way i convert the HTML to RTF if using an XSL stylesheet. Basically you load the HTML as an XML document and let the XSL translate it to RTF. This way you also have a lot of freedom over the way your text will appear since you can tweak the XSL.
I used this article to achieve that, the article's attachment includes the .XSL.
I am having a minor issue playing with my exported Crystal Report, I can generate the reports just fine on our website, however when I attempt to export them to Word documents I don't quite get a document I can do much with.
i.e.:
I can't position the generated text anywhere in the document, it is almost 'frozen' in place. I would expect if I moved the cursor above the report text and pressed Enter a bunch of times I could remove the report down the page, however it just won't budge
All the text seems to be in its own box and I can't move it around or do anything with it.
Any thoughts? My expectation would be once it is exported to Word I could play with it like a Word document, move the text down the page, edit the document, do something with it.
Thanks!
btw, this question is similar to the one posted here, but this one wasn't tagged properly and I don't have enough karma to fix it:

I'm afraid that you can't do much about it. Crystal Reports is very much orientated towards putting data in fixed positions on pages, so when it exports to Word it puts its data into text boxes because that's a similar thing that Word offers. You could make the Crystal Report page consists of a giant text field and using spaces and newlines to get the data into the right place, which will probably then give you a giant textbox in Word.
