I would suggest you to edit the registry settings and added the below keys;
Note:-Before you do any modifications in the registry, please take a backup of the registry.
-Create a new key under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports' called 'Export'
-Create a new key under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export' called 'PDF'
-Create a new Dword value called 'UsePrecisePositioningForText' under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF'
-Set the value to 1.
-Create a new Dword value called 'TruncationAdjustment' under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Repor ts\Export\PDF'
-Set the value to 10.
TruncationAdjustment is DWORD between 0 and 10. It's a 'fudge factor' that adjusts rounding when the total widths of characters are calculated.
Default is 5. Larger values add safety from truncation.
After modifying the registry and relaunching the CR designer, the exported report.
Hope this helps.

Hi Lalithkishore,

I would like to ask you more information as below
1. What is registry?
2. Where I can find the registry?
3. Create a new Dword value called 'TruncationAdjustment' - this pharase is from your suggestion.
Here do I need to create folder or something else?

How to set 10 value?
Please let me know with detail information.

When I said, Registry, I mean Windows Registry.
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores configuration settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating systems
You can google about the Windows registry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry
The above links helps you to understand Key, Value, Hierarchies etc related to Windows Registry.
Hope this helps
Hi Lalithakishore,
Ok. I will follow as you said. I have following doubts.
1. Why we should do like this (creating folders and assigning value in registry)?
How it will resolve PDF alignment problem?
2. I heard that loosing alignment in PDF file is related Crystal Reports version and PDF version mismatching. Is it true?
3. If it is also related to Crystal Reports and PDF version mismatch, please let me know for Crystal Reports XI R2 which version PDF we could install in development machine and production server machine.
Please let me know
Thanks and Regards,
Manjunath N. Jogin
