minWidth <= contentWidth in PDF again..

[blom0344]

At the moment working on a report inherited by someone having a great time somewhere in the Alps, so bear with me.

The report has 4 report pages, each of them displaying 4 elaborate lists.  The pages without a repeater work both in HTML and PDF. The pages that have a repeater around the set of lists will only render in HTML.  Not matter what I do,  the  'minWidth <= contentWidth' PDF gremlin keeps kicking in.

There should be a KB article on this:

http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PM17259

which is unfortunately kept locked away.  (Why IBM  ??)

Repeaters are a no-no in my book, but rewriting the 2 pages to a more regular sectioned structure will take it's time and may offend the Alpinist when she's back..

HELP..

That is not an "real" article, basicly it is says that the client gets this error in a report containing a repeater containing a list containing an image that is larger than pdf width,  APAR status is open (what ever that means) and last modified date is 2010-07-12.

I have found that fixed widths in size&overflow settings of list colums (and in blocks too) is a sure way to summon this gremlin.

ReportStudio novice question: Why are the repeaters a no-no?

We had just too many issues with repeaters whereas  section/page sets seem to work nigh perfect in all cases / versions.  So, call it prejudice   ;D
