Title: Exported PDF size improper
Post by: advayaaa on 04 Jun 2012 07:54:04 AM
Hi,

I have a report which is exported to my mail box every day.  But the size of the PDF is very small and unreadable. I need to zoom the PDF to around 400-500% to make it readbale.

Can anyone help me so that it is exported with proper size so that I do not need to do anything after that.

Attached is the sample pdf exported

thanks for the help

This can happen if there is a block or something else in the report and the size of that is very large. The larger the size, the smaller the PDF will become.
