The following restrictions apply to the Web Report Viewer and the target format XHTML/CSS used:
•Rows that are anchored to each other are not correctly exported.
•Decimal tabs will be transformed to right-aligned tabs.
•Any other tabs will be transformed to a blank.
•The option 'Line break' in text objects and table columns is always active in the export result.
•The option 'Separators fixed' in table objects is not supported.
•The chart object is exported as a picture and thus cannot appear transparently.
•The transformation of RTF text to HTML code is carried out by an RTF parser. This parser interprets the basic RTF formatting. Extended RTF functionality such as embedded objects will be ignored.
•Gradient fills are not completely supported.
•Objects to be exported as picture should not overlap the object frame. Therefore e.g. barcode objects with fixed bar width must fit in the object rectangle.
•Custom drawings in callbacks must be exported as picture.
•Table frames of neighboring cells are not drawn so that they overlap each other, but discretely. This can double the frame width and needs to be considered during the design.
•Even if the HTML object wraps over several pages, it will be exported in one stream, i.e. no page wrap will occur.
•Embedded scripting functionalities may be lost.
•Issue print is not supported.
•Rotated descriptions are not supported.
•Shadow Pages are not supported.
•The wrapping option 'Minimum Size' in the crosstab object is not supported.
•The property "Link" is not supported.
•Background color of the report container is not supported.
•If the "Fit" property for a table row is set to "Shrink", tables may overlap across the page. To prevent this, the "Export as Picture" property can be used.
•Horizontal wrapping is suppressed because a corresponding scroll bar is automatically provided for this purpose.
•The "Fill Horizontally" property for multi-column tables is not supported correctly.
•Linked crosstabs are not supported.
•Frames around individual tables and background colors of individual tables are not supported.
•Frames of picture objects are not supported.
•With reverse printing, only the first page is printed; all other pages have a blank (white) reverse side.
•The following restrictions apply to form controls:
•Types "Edit", "Combobox": The "Force Input" property is not supported.
•Type "Edit": The "Validation Expression" property is not supported.
•Type "Button": The export is only executed if the "Action" property is set to "Send via HTTP POST". Please note that in Web Report Designer, the action cannot be selected when creating a new button and is set automatically. Buttons therefore do not work in Web Report Designer if they have been configured with a different action in the Windows Designer. Here, the type of the form control can be changed to another type and then back to Button so that the action is set correctly.
•Type "Button": The "URL" and "Additional Fields" properties of the "Action" property are ignored.
•Type "Button": Only the form data of the pages that were displayed before the button (on any page) was clicked is exported. Example: If only the first and last pages of a 5-page report were displayed, only the form data of these pages 1 and 5 will be exported.
•Type "Checkbox": The "Background" property is only applied if the checkbox is "pressed".
•Type "Checkbox": The browser's default icon is always used.
•Type "Combobox": The "Editable" property is not supported.
•The "Shrink" option of the text object property "Line Wrap" is not supported.
