I have a report that I'm exporting to PDF using the VS2008 version of Crystal Reports. There is a field that displays a product description that contains HTML data pulled from my database so I've set Text Interpretation to HTML for the field. The text displays fine with all the appropriate HTML formatting, however, there is only a single line-space between paragraphs. I've tried adding multiple <p> and multiple <br> tags to increase the spacing but this does not work. How can I increase the spacing between paragraphs in an HTML field that I'm exporting to PDF?
After a little messing around, try using this for a line break <br>
I had the same problem. the following step fix the issue
In my case the field is in "Details" Section of a SubReport. Crystal Report version is X1 R2.
Step 1. Select the SubReport, right click and select "Edit SubReport" option
Step 2. Select the Section Expert of the Details Section in the SubReport.
Step 3. Select the Layout tab
Step 4. Change the Vertical (Gap Between Details) as 0.109 cm
Step 5. Select Printing Direction as "Down then Across"
Step 6. Select option "Format Groups with multiple column
Step 7. Press Ok and save the SubReport / Main Report
By doing this i can see the space between the paragraphs for the field which has interpretation as "HTML TEXT"

I uncheck "Allow row to break across pages" for a table's properties So, the table is shown on a new page to ensure that all the content is on one page, this works fine. But Word generates a blank space before the page break, I need to replace it with some text for a legal reason. I can't use a watermark or shapes because un Oracle BI Publisher only prints it on PDF and I need to export it to a docx.
The data is dynamic, so sometimes the text before the table and the text inside the table may change.

I need some like this https://imgur.com/a/ySitL
MS Office support told me that it can't be done with Word...
Maybe with VBA code?

Thanks Cindy for your help.
I have a table into another table many paragraphs, checkbox etc and they are fitting on a new page. It's working.
I understand there isn't a page break.
It's Paragraph mark.
But what I need to do is insert a kind of mark, a text like XXXX,-----------, Instead of leaving "free space",
It's a requirement not change the font size or another text format.
For a legal requirement, some paragraph must fit on a new page and "blank spaces" replaced by a kind of mark.
I can't hard code it because in several cases not all the paragraphs or section in a page will be shown and I don't know by default when a new page is needed.
I am available to use macros or anything.
What you could do is insert a page-size table into a textbox in the page header and format the body text with a white background. The table will thus be hidden behind any text on the page, but not otherwise (provided you don't pad unused space with empty paragraphs, etc.).
I have issue in crystal report RTF data with Text overlapping right side of the field, last 2 characters are missing when i set text interpretation as RTF. if set text interpretation to "none" then its working fine. i had done setting indentation right =0.2 but no use,and can grow also true,this field is memo type.
My report structure:
header
tablix in rectangle
footer
from reportviewer and visual studio all looks great, but when i render pdf i'm getting document consisting of 3 pages, first (with header) is ok, but the rest gets an empty column on the right
i try to put each column and row in rectangle etc.
i'm sure that size of my report body is ok (body + margins <= page)
example with colors (dark blue - subreport in rectangle, yellow - main container):
height is correct, but width from second page is too large
Not sure if this is your issue, but I have found that I get that kind of issue when the width of report + left margin + right margin is too close to page size. An easy way to see if this may be the issue is to see if you have random blank pages. I would also suggest attempting to shorten the columns to all fit on one page width. Another thing to try is export it to Word. Strangely enough, if the report goes over the width that you specify for a page, Word will accommodate your report and become a bigger page size. See if you are still missing columns in those cases.
After exporting report in PDF format I realized that a few rows were hidden. As you can see in the image:
Notice that the 1st row in the second page is not the next row fetched by the data set, which should actually be 10 January 15 03:00.
Also, there's no Page Break, instead the default layout comes from the Master Page which is US letter.
I've been trying different solutions for this problem and after checking
M Williams and James Jenkins suggestions (among others) I still couldn't find it.
Perhaps Dominique could help? Dom?
The large blank space we can see below this table suggests there is a fixed margin or something like that which prevents all rows to be displayed. What is the value of the "Page break interval" property of the table? By default it is 40, try to decrease it until all rows are displayed in PDF. Otherwise you need to find out which element of the report has a fixed height or margin, This blank space might also be due to a property of the master page such margins and footer size
How can i interpret html tags like anchor tag and table in RDLC report. Is it really possible?
Or only text decorating styles tags are allowed in RDLC?
Yes, it is possible in VS 2010. Here's a related question, and the pertinent MSDN doc.
Basically, in the data section, click first to highlight the cell, then right click and the menu will contain a section with "Placeholder Properties". Then under General, there's a field "Markup Type" which you can set it to "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles"
VS 2005 and VS 2008 rdlc don't support any html formatting but I still found a way to format html tag in output as pdf file.
Instead of format, you can replace these special characters from output.
You can write an expression of any text box value which can be used as below:
=Replace(Replace(Replace(Replace(Fields!"your column name".Value,""",""""),"&","&"),"<","<"),">",">")
In above expression I have interpreted a few special characters, but you can add more or can keep less as per your requirement.
