When a TRDP/TRDX report is imported to a CS report, the produced .designer.cs does not have Unicode encoding, instead, it is with ANSI encoding.

Because of this, some of the report text might instead be displayed as ????

The workaround is to Save As the file, from Visual Studio, with Encoding which will open a window where you may change the encoding to Unicode.

Release R3 2022

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open the attached report in EUD
2. Ensure its RuntimeSettings contain parameter "EnableAccessibility" set to True or add the setting before opening the designer in its configuration file
3. Preview the report and export it to PDF


EXPECTED:
The produced PDF is tagged (accessible) - check it in Acrobat Reader's file properties in the bottom left corner. The file size should be ~155KB
OBSERVED:
The produced PDF is not tagged (accessible). Its size is ~123KB.

Release R3 2022

Some corner case page size value force report processing to create an invalid page clipping during paging. 

Workaround: If you encounter such scenario, please experiment with changing the page size to another value, which is close to the original one.

Ideally, if the user prints a report, the output should be the same as what they see on the screen.

Currently, if the user prints/exports the report sometime after previewing it, the data will be updated and they will not get what they see.

When exporting to PDF from Telerik Report Designer the software creates a list of flat links for each TOC entry, but the links are separated in the structure from the TOC Label. While a good start, it would be better to use a main TOC tag under which each line in the TOC would receive a TOCI (Table of Contents Item) tag. Each TOCI would contain the label and link for the respective item. Attaching a few examples to assist.

<TOC> Table of contents element is an element that contains a structured list of items and labels identifying those items; has its own discrete hierarchy.
<TOCI> Table of contents item element is an item contained in a list associated with a table of contents element.

When exporting to PDF from Telerik Report Designer, single fields of information are broken out into separate tags (by line) rather than lumped into one tag. If possible, it would be better to have all data from the field sent to one Paragraph tag to facilitate reading via accessibility reading technology.

Clicking the cancel button on the HTML5 report viewer show "Report processing was canceled" in the UI but the report is still being generated and rendered on the server.

In this old thread it is stated that it isn't possible to cancel the report generation on the server. Is that still the case?

Some horizontal page breaks force report processing to create an invalid page clipping during paging. 

In my report, when the content fits in the page width, the PDF document is generated correctly. When there is a horizontal page break though, the content of the pages after the first one is clipped.

When exporting the tags for the document's Table of Contents Telerik Report Designer exports TOC leaders as distinct tags, requiring that they be removed when completing the accessibility tagging for the document. Leaders - the ellipses found in the Table of Contents (e.g., Introduction ...................... Page 3) between the TOC item and the page number will be read by assistive technology as "dot dot dot dot dot..." etc. They need to be deleted from the tag tree. Please Artifact them or (preferably) NOT tag them on the export. Thanks.

Many documents have repeating information that is irrelevant and needs to be untagged, or artifacted, so that assisstive technology does not share the information multiple times. Common examples of this situation are headers, footers, page numbers, and decorative images. In most cases, it is not necessary to read these document elements on each page, so we untag the information to prevent repetition for the person reading the document with assistive technology. Is there a way to mark a report section - e.g., the page header or page footer - as Untagged or Artifacted, and have those tags be exported to the PDF? It would save a ton of time having to manually go through several hundred pages and untagging them manually.

Telerik Report Designer is one of the few report writing tools on the market that can export tagged PDF content. It's a major advantage of your solution. Why can it not be turned on by default, or enabled via a menu button. Better yet, how about including an Accessibility menu setting to allow for more detailed configuration of key elements?

I produce a lot of Accessible PDF documents that include many unique images - hundreds in most cases. Each image has alt text descriptions in it in the EXIF metadata of the image file itself. Most of the documents I generate a based on a one or two page template used for each record ID. The images are loaded programmatically based on the ID number for the template. Right now, with Accessibility Enabled, Telerik cannot read the image EXIF data. It would be ideal if it could be configured to pick up the descriptions already inside the image file itself. This applies to the stand alone Report Designer and the Visual Studio version.

I have a report that has dynamically created html text based on the data. I would like to have a footnote associated with one of those HtmlTextBox controls to appear at the bottom of the page on which the section occurs.
Please see a ticket "How to create a report footnote"  https://www.telerik.com/forums/how-to-create-a-report-footnote

Thank you.

I need to set a structured heading tags like <h2><h3> (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/PDF9.html) so the pdf file can have those tags.

Please make the Reporting support more various tags so pdf files can have structured tags.

We often receive feedback regarding hard/impossible editing of reports after they are exported to Word format.
The existing rendering mechanism will produce Word tables which are harder for manual editing - http://docs.telerik.com/reporting/designing-reports-considerations-word

Let us know in comments about your experience with editing reports exported to Word format so we can understand more clearly what is required from Reporting Word rendering extention.

However, I see the following dialog every time. There is no way to capture this error or suppress the dialog.
