Html in PDF view Cognos 11

Hi, I used html to create a writeable text content, it worked in html view but didn't work in pdf. Could you please help me to solve the problem. User needs to print the report after entering the comment in text field. Thanks

Hi,

This isn't a Cognos issue - PDF doesn't support embedded HTML.

Cheers!

Not unless you can persuade someone to change the PDF standard specification worldwide :) It's a PDF limitation, not anything to do with your Cognos report, so nothing you do in your Cognos report can change it.

Is there any alternative for writable html text content? Could you please advise?

Not with a PDF rendered output, no. If you want to be able to use HTML items, render the output as HTML.

Cheers!
