Can we put two tables horizontally in a PDF document?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have 2 questions regarding PDF document.

1) When I have a table data which rolls over more than one page, it is not properly displayed. The first row of the table is repeated in every page. So there is a problem when a table splits over two pages.

2) Is there any way to put two tables one beside the other horizontally. I have more than 30 tables which has 4 columns and say 6-8 rows. Its taking more no. of pages. If two tables are put side by side, the no. of pages will be reduced.

Please provide your ideas, if any, on this.

Thanks,

Manisha

Not possible in the current release of xMII (using PDF).

It would be possible if you created your report as an HTML page, however.

You can use BLS to write to the file and/or append to a string that builds up your HTML content. You can easily create callable "sub transactions" that take an xMII recordset and convert it to an HTML table, so that you can have reusable pieces (and simpler transactions to build the reports).
