In MS Word i have a big table to put in my document. The standard header made by the society is on A4 format. Since my table is quite big i want to put it on A3 page and I modify the header manually to adapt to the A3 format. To do this, I go to Insert > Header > Modify, then with the ruler i adapt the size of the header to A3 page. However, the text doesn't adapt to the modification of the header that I made. When I want to use the pre-processed style to insert title and subtitles, it seems it was design only for the A4 format. Is it possible to adjust the style format to my A3 page ?

Requirement:
I have an excel file, which connects to Mail merge in word, which I already did.
Suppose there seems to be total 500 records in that excel, and have a field serial number, which seems to be unique from 1 to 500. I need to list the details of the 1st record in top of the 1st A4 page and 251st record in bottom of the 1st A4 page, and 2nd record in top of the 2nd A4 page and 252nd record in bottom of the 2nd A4 page and so on.. and in 250th page, 250th record in top and 500th record in bottom of that page..
My Requirement is, when I cut this A4 size to 2 parts, the page needs to be sort in the serial number order. Hope you understand my requirement.
Thank you in advance..
I have a SQL query resulting in about 20 columns. There is just the page header and the details section. Unfortunately the column descriptions (page header) are to big to be shown completely, therefore the width is smaller as it should be. Now I want the columns of the page header to be as big as necessary to show all the information.
When adjusting the column width manually and exporting the report to .xls the position of those descriptions do not match the columns of the detail section anymore.
I need the page header columns as wide as necessary and I need the detail section columns matching with the ph.
Solution: Adjust width of the report to the needed scale. To avoid doubled columns or rows in Excel just use "Export to Excel - data only"
** I'm using SSRS2008 R2
I have a report that the users would like to see in a printable pdf.
Problem is there are several columns, potentially too many to fit on a printed 8.5x11 paper.
One of the concepts they suggested was a stacked header/data display, like breaking the columns into 2 rows, so 2 rows of data (for John and Bill) would look like this:
NAME START_DATE STATE COMPANY
ACCOUNT BALANCE END_DATE
-------------------------------------------------------
John 1/20/2016 NY GE
10076 $100.00 2/20/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill 5/13/2016 MA Netflix
00013 $150.00 12/31/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
This leads me to 2 questions:
Is there a way to do this with a tablix?
AND/OR in addition, is there a way to set a default property on the report so when the report is exported to pdf and to print, that it defaults to fit all columns on one page (therefor shrinking the font size to fit on page?)
For anyone that cares - Apparently this can easily be achieved by dragging a Tablix onto the work area, right clicking the header row, adding a new row underneath (basically becomes header row 2), then do the same thing to the details row - however make sure to insert row - Inside group. That allows you to have stacked header and data rows and you can copy / paste headers and row values in whichever row you'd prefer.
it will work if you make all the columns on the same height not unequal. If all the columns has same height, then while exporting to pdf/excel and print it will come in the same page.
I have face several problems when using ITextSharp table.
1) How to auto fit table column width to maximum?
2) How to push the entire table to the right (right-align table not right-align table content)
below are what i am trying to achieve where | indicates starts and end of page.
As we can see, column 1 (invoice A, B, CDE) are of different width, same to column 3. I would like itextsharp to auto fit the width. Perhaps there is a function in itextsharp that can achieve this?
| Invoice A : Be |
| B : Cdefg |
| CDE : abc |
Regarding part 1 of your question: auto-sizing of columns based on their content
Please take a look at The Best iText Questions on StackOverflow. It has different examples on how to tune tables, especially in the chapter named "Tables".
It is important to understand that PDF is a format where you decide what content goes where. In other words: you define the width of the columns. The width of the columns is not defined by their content as is the case in HTML.
If you want the tables to "auto-size", why don't you create your tables as HTML and then use XML worker to convert the HTML to PDF. In that case, iText's XML Worker will look at the content and adjust the column width accordingly. For an example, take a look at my answer to the following question: How to get particular html table contents to write it in pdf using itext
Incidentally, that example is written in Java, but if you need a C# example, you'll find a C# example here: itextsharp html to pdf
Regarding part 2 of your question: setting the alignment of a table
There is a method for that. In Java, it's setHorizontalAlignment(). You can find the C# counter-part here: Align itextsharp table
In other words, you need:
table.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
Using iReports, is there a way to display the data where it's going back and forth and pulling the data from one SQL statement?
Where an SQL query returned the following records
a0
a1
a2
a3
a4
a5
The report would be filled as follows ...
a0 a1
a2 a3
a4 a5
Normally I wouldn't have a problem doing a table, but I have to replicate someone's "application."
Yes, iReports allows you to fill your report so that the data is presented horizontally as you require in your question.
You can also specify how many columns you present in your report.
In the Report Inspector, right click on the report and select
Properties
In the Properties Dialog,
Click on the number beside Columns, enter 2.
Click on Print Order, select Horizontal
Click on Close
Press CTRL ALT PgDn to preview your report
