Currently, if I want to see what the device info settings for an extension like the PDF are, I need to open the documentation - Telerik Reporting Configuring the Output Formats PDF Device Information Settings - Telerik Reporting, then copy the setting that I wish to use in my code.
It would be easier and safer if the device information settings for each format were exposed as a public enum/class. On that note, it would also be easier if the available formats were exposed as well, instead of manually typing them. For example:
public static classTelerikDeviceInfoSetting
{
public static class PDF
{
public const string DOCUMENTTITLE = "DocumentTitle";
public const string DOCUMENTAUTHOR = "DocumentAuthor";
public const string DOCUMENTSUBJECT = "DocumentSubject";
public const string DOCUMENTPRODUCER = "DocumentProducer";
public const string DOCUMENTCREATOR = "DocumentCreator";
}
public static class XLSX
{
public const string USENATIVEPAGEHEADER = "UseNativePageHeader";
public const string USENATIVEPAGEFOOTER = "UseNativePageFooter";
public const string SHOWGRIDLINES = "ShowGridlines";
}
}
public static class TelerikRenderingExtension
{
public const string PDF = "PDF";
public const string XLSX = "XLSX";
}
In my Graph, I have set the AccessibleRole and AccessibleDescription. The alternative text is read correctly by the Acrobat Reader's 'Read out Loud' functionality.
The problem is that it keeps reading it multiple times.
When generating PDF/UA files, we need to have special objects that are read by an internal system but ignored by screen readers. This cannot be achieved with the existing functionality.
It would be beneficial if we could configure reports so that specific objects inside the generated document are ignored by screen readers. For example, by setting a special value to the AccessibleRole property of a text box.
When I display a report in a web report viewer, whose service is running on a server where one or more of the used fonts are not available, the first instance of the item(s) that use those fonts is being substituted with another font. The rest of the items do render with the original font, however.
This creates confusion and inconsistency. We should use the substituted font because it's used for measuring when using Print Preview mode in the web viewers, or when rendering to pdf via print/export.
It would be great if you could introduce the ability to create custom reusable color palettes in Telerik Report Designer, so I don't have to declare the same set of colors for each chart I need them.
If you have a lot of graphs in your report then it is more convenient to change the color palette one place.
In the Standalone Report Designer File menu, please add the shortcuts next to menu items, like Ctrl + S for Save and Ctrl+Shift+S for Save All.
I changed several reports and then wanted to know how to save all reports at once.
When I have multiple reports open in the Standalone Report Designer, I am not able to rearrange/reorder them.
Refer to the tab behavior in Visual Studio, where you can drag one tab and move it to be in front of another tab.
At the moment it's only possible to have your reports in old-fashioned projects.
It should be possible to add/design reports to SDK-style projects. That should work no matter what target framework is (.NET Core, .NET Standard or .NET Framework).
While customising templates/CSS, I noticed the .trv-parameters-wrapper div as follows:
<div tabindex="300" class="trv-parameters-wrapper" aria-label="Parameters area. Contains 4 parameters.">
<div class="trv-parameter-container k-card"></div>
</div>I’m working on a project that requires generating Section 508-compliant PDFs, and I’m using Telerik Reporting to build the accessible reports. However, I’ve run into a problem with how screen readers—specifically NVDA—are interpreting table content.
In my report’s table, some values like 12/01/2023 aren’t being read as dates, and values like (192,340.00)—which represent negative numbers—aren’t being interpreted as “negative” or addressing the parenthesis.
When using screen reader applications like JAWS or Narrator, those tools read accessible reporting PDFs in an incorrect order. For example, if I have two items in the report, the reader will read the second item first.
Additionally, images whose AccessibleDescription I have set may be read multiple times..
My report has a Text Watermark as part of the PageSettings, and is configured for Accessibility. The report contains a Page Header and Page Footer. In the Page Footer, there are two TextBoxes.
When I generate an accessible PDF with Telerik Reporting and use the Adobe Reader > Read Out Loud functionality, it doesn't read the content of the second TextBox in the Page Footer.
When an HtmlTextBox contains a large HTML ordered list that exceeds a single page height, the generated PDF is cut at the pixel-level page boundary rather than at a text line boundary. This results in a line of text being visually split mid-glyph — part of the line appears at the bottom of one page, and the remainder is orphaned at the top of the next page.
To reproduce, create an HtmlTextBox that contains an <ol> with lots (>40) <li> items, so they span more than one physical page and export to PDF. Observe the page boundary where the list crosses a page — the split occurs mid-line.
Expected behaviour:
The renderer splits the HtmlTextBox content at a complete line boundary, consistent with how a plain TextBox behaves.
Actual behaviour:
The split occurs at the pixel-level page margin, cutting through a rendered text line.
Please note the spelling error in the k-notificaiton-error class name. Should be k-notification-error:
<div class="trv-parameter-error k-notification k-notificaiton-error" style="">
<span class="k-notification-status k-icon k-i-x-outline"></span>
<span class="trv-parameter-error-message k-notification-content">Parameter value cannot be empty.</span>
</div>
Because of this, error messages are rendered with incorrect color (should be red):
