The content of my document is not scaling properly.
Example
Resolution
If you change your Windows Display Scaling during a Windows session while your client application is open, this may cause scaling issues. See Scaling and Paper Size Considerations When Printing.
I am missing content in my PDF output.
Resolution
Either the missing content exists in an item or part type that is not included in the Report XML definition, or you may not have access rights to the items containing the "missing" information. Contact your System Architect to inquire about missing content.
A table in an item description is cut-off in the PDF.
Example
Resolution
Tables contained within an item description will autosize if the table is set to autosize in the Table properties. See Working with Tables in Description.
My image is cut-off in the PDF.
Example
Resolution
Images do not auto-resize so they will need to be resized by the user. There is a page-width indicator line option that an Architect can configure that can work as a visual guideline for users. See Configuring Description Page Width Preview. In general, for A4, it is usually around 18 cm:
The Image Editor may also be useful.
A table that I defined in the Report XML Definition is cut-off.
Example
Resolution
if you have fixed widths for <Table> columns in your report, you may find that these fixed widths together with a specified margin will put your document width "over the edge" causing the table to be cut-off in the printed result. See Specifying Margins for Printed Reports/Documents.
When I select CutePDF Writer and click Print, I get an Access violation.
Resolution
Check if you have more than one CutePDF Writer installed. If so, remove one of them.
I am unable to print my document.
Error
Printer is not currently printing.
Resolution
Contact your internal IT support initially to see if they can resolve the problem with the printer. If you believe that the issue resides within the swExplorer application, email support@systemweaver.com and provide the steps to recreate the problem.
