While export/render a Report to PDF the pictures keep their original size, even when they are very big. Pictures scaled to a small image include the full-size image in PDF.
To keep the PDF smaller, all pictures needs to be resized in advance/by program at the moment.
Please implement the possibility (Activatable by Parameter) to automatically resize the images to the needed size
- for the used DPI settings in report
- or to a new added PictureDPI.
It would be very helpful to have a tooltip (connected to a Fields.x) inside a Crosstab.
I have encountered this problem numerous times but I will list one of them. When printing a weekly schedule in the format of a calendar, the days of the week print top to bottom when the desired layout should be L to R. We have resorted to various hacks to get this to work, but this is another feature of ***(which we are converting from) that is not supported in Telerik Reporting. It would be nice if there was an OPTION to flow L to R as opposed to Top to Bottom.
If you do a Excel export, it renders the headers value, which we set with an expression (customer specific localised text), but as CSV the header names/IDs are used. It would be nice to have a 'Export Settings' category on the page properties, see attachment for example. Also shows another useful feature of disabling export option easily per report.
We'd like to distribute the standalone report tool to our clients and provide data through a web service. We don't want to have to redistribute a dll everytime we make new data available. The standalone report tool should be able to query our webservice for what data is available and then allow the client user to create reports from it. i.e. obtain list of table names dynamically as well as their column names and data. A possible solution is to allow the tool to view and interact with classes in an external assembly that are dynamically generated with Reflection.Emit.
This is your reply to one of our questions regarding RTL support of crosstab component. "The Crosstab item will not change its layout (does not support RTL layout flow). You will have to create to separate reports with similar layouts. One report can be used with RTL languages, and another with LTR languages. Note that row groups can be added only on the left side of the Crosstab item. " SO our request is to fully supports RTL.
Currently If you want to hide one filter out of many based on other value. this is feature is not available in report now. below the my ticket for you same. I wish this feature include out of the box. https://www.telerik.com/account/support-tickets/view-ticket?threadid=1102630
In general, the Page sections do not collapse or expand based on their content. Also the report header and group header sections span the width of the column.
It would be nice if, for example, have another section that either could expand/collapse based on the content and do not be affected by the report's page settings.
As for now, the workaround is to use the series' DataPointStyle.BackgroundImage property to add a custom image as a marker. Then, to change this image based on the condition you can use DataPointConditionalFormatting property.
The Marker Types I am using are commonly used e.g Square, Plus, Cross. Please add an option to set Marker Type for the values instead of background Image.
It would be very handy, if the value property of the PictureBox would resolve images from base64 strings besides the Image, Image byte[], relative or absolute URI.
It should be fairly simple to implement. I wrote my own user function for this. It would be beneficial to have this out of the box.
[Function(Category = "Image", Namespace = "ImageFunctions", Description = "Converts a base64 string to an image byte array")]
public static byte[] ConvertFromBase64(string imageString)
{
if (imageString != null)
{
// Convert base 64 string to byte[]
byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(imageString);
return imageBytes;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
I have scenario like this: Sam requests a product report from company A. Marvin creates the report and send it back to Sam. Sam imports it. It would be best if Marvin (Author of the report) could specify all the meta data so that Sam doesn't have to enter these things.
In my case I need following metadata for the report:
- Keyword: some external tags...
- Description: a description so that the user can understand what this report will show and the purpose of the report.
Hello,
I see from support threads that Telerik really resists any changes to their concept of CSV rendering. And I also understand the reasoning in not changing any default behavior due to its potentially unwanted effect on established customers.
That said, I wonder if the ability to exclude hidden objects (TextBoxes for example) has been proposed and is in the list of potential enhancements. I wouldn't mind if it required a configuration setting like NoHiddenObjects = True where the default is False.
Has that been considered?
Currently, if the SkipBlankPages property is set to True and there is not any significant content in the report, the following message will be displayed in the designer and the viewer: The current data set presented in the report did not produce any significant content, so no pages were generated. If you need to see the whole report content, including blank pages, please contact the report author.
Enable retaining editable textboxes when Exporting to PDF.
For example a PDF Re-order form with editable textboxes for order Quantity so the user can enter order Quantities.
