Relationshop Between Grid Col Widths vs. PDF Col Widths

Can anyone offer information re: how Grid-to-PDF column widths are established? Web page widths were set so as to avoid word wrap, but when the PDF is generated, column widths appear to be determined by some other process (which, in this case, does cause “words” to be split and wrapped).


When converting to PDF , grid get percent based sizes of columns, so columns in PDF will have width proportional to the width in html page.

That actually sounds like a very reasonable approach!

Perhaps as a future enhancement, an array or comma-separated string could be passed to grid.toPDF that specifies PDF column widths in a manner similar to that available with the grid. I.e., percentages (widthP) or fixed (e.g, “50,120,52,*”)

Yep, we plan to add better control over data export, so something similar will be available in future.
