Accomplished half part of the project in Google web designer and got a trouble with text formatting:
When creating a text field with the size say 800*300 pixels - it corrects the width and it became exact 230 pixels. When I go to another field - previous seems to be correct sized (800*300).
When I try to work with this field - it becomes 230 pixels width again.
It drives me crazy I can't work!
If I create a new project - everything works fine.
But I can't do anything with my initial project.
What's the problem? Is there any wy to get rid of this?
Try editing the css of the block to match the dimensions you need. Select the text box first and on the Right hand sidebar, you should find a CSS option.

I have a very busy GUI - lots of textboxes - the end result needs to be 21 columns with 24 text boxes in each column (1 text box for each hour of the day) I am over half way there.
I am getting frustrated with things moving on me as I add a text box or as I adjusted an existing box or title or label.
Is there a way to "lock down" things once I am happy with the look so that I know they can't move and then continue adding pieces?
Is there something I am missing with this problem. I am using (right-click) same size and align (left to column) functions to help. These help some. But I still run into the magic text box that when dropped in things move all around on me.
I am using NetBeans 7.3.1
Thanks
I have had similar problems and issues.
Two suggestions: 1) I have found that if I skip the order I place the textboxes helps with things moving. Meaning - if I had a column of boxes, i would place every other one then go back and fill in. It seemed to behave.
2) you might check into using the swing layout - check the Oracle site.
good luck
I am using Google Apps Script and the Apps Script UI Builder, which is based on GWT widgets.
If I create a Flow Panel, and add two Labels of 50% width, then these labels appear on separate lines. But isn't 50% + 50% = 100%.
How do I make them appear on the same line?
To try it out yourself:
Open a Google Spreadsheet.
In the Spreadsheet menu, click: Tools / Script Editor...
In the Script Editor menu, click: File / Build a user interface...
Add the widgets to the canvas.
Of course this question doesn't just apply to the problem with the labels. In general I am totally puzzled concerning how to build flowing layouts with the UI Builder. There seem to be (hidden?) paddings and margins that make things very hard.
It's all based on CSS and its box model, and that issue has accumulates cruft over the last 15 years or so. In essence, the widths you specify don't take into account margings (and/or possibly padding, it's been a while), so you will need to add a stylesheed that minimizes them. See something like this CSS reset.
Labels translate to <div>s, which appear on different lines by default. You could try adding float: left to the labels, or change the display mode, etc.
You could also try InlineLabels, which I think compile to <span>s.
If you've already tried all this, then your Labels are apparently just too wide. It's annoying that two 50% objects wouldn't fit on the same line, but what isn't annoying about working with HTML and CSS?
The solution is simple. For both labels, set to zero:
Borders and Margins / Margin
Don't know why I didn't see that yesterday - I was doing a night shift... ;-)
I have a bar chart with horizontal bars. I used this article to setup the dynamic height property:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2008/10/27/charts-with-dynamic-size-based-on-categories-or-data.aspx
Everything looks fine in the viewer, but as soon as you go to print layout, pdf, et.al there is about 50% more blank space below the chart.
I've created a sample report (using AdventureWorks DB) to show what is happening. I placed 3 charts with blue backgrounds, each inside its own rectangle with gray backgrounds. The first chart has an expression in the DynamicHeight property, the second chart has a hard coded value in the DynamicHeight property of 8.5in, and the third chart has a blank DynamicHeight and a 8.5in in the normal Height property. I have it return 15 items to place in the chart.
They all look fine in the viewer like I said before, but go to Print Layout and the first and second charts take up twice the space with half of it being blank below the report.
I tried to post the .rdl code, but its too much for the size limit.
I have an open ticket to Microsoft that has been escalated.
We've filed the necessary request to get collaboration from our development team so we should be getting a response regarding this functionality sometime in the next couple days. I'll let you know what they say.
Development has later confirmed it was definitely a bug, now are trying to decide if it is worth it to add to the next cumulative update or wait until SSRS 2010.
The work around until this is fixed, is to place the chart control into a table/tablix.
I added an empty table, deleted the details row and the two extra columns, and added my chart that was giving me problems. Everything appears to re-size correctly now.
try setting up the interactive size, margin and page size. im not sure if it will work but you can try. page size - margin = interactive size. do not exceed from your page size when giving value to your interactive size and margin, this also can cause white spaces in print layout.
hope it helps.
best regards,
cathy
I'm using a barcode font (IDAutomationMC39H) in an SSRS 2005 report I'm developing, and while it renders fine in the preview in BIDS, if I export the results to PDF, print the results, or do any of the above (including preview) in Report Manager, the barcode font is extending off the top of the textbox. The barcode itself is nearly 20px tall, even at only a 12pt size. I've tried changing the CanGrow value for the textbox, but it seems that even with that set off the barcode isn't pushing the bottom edge of the textbox downwards, it's simply extending over the top of the box. I've also tried resizing the textbox to allow it to contain the entire height of the font, but even with the VerticalAlign set to Bottom the barcode still sticks to the top of the textbox and overflows out the top.
See screenshot here:

Does anyone know how to force the font to be bound by the top of the box, instead of overlapping it?
I tried with no real success to get font-based barcoding to work. Ended up getting the boss to pay for NeoDynamic BarCode Professional which works great and has a lot more flexibility than fonts.
I want to write an application to validate a PDF file. The validation that is required is to verify that all the text and images in the PDF should start after 0.5" margin from left and 0.5" margin from the right. If any of the text is going outside this margin then application should be able to catch this.
I tried to search this into iText but couldn't get anything usefull that can solve my purpose.
Can somebody help me out in writing this code in .net csharp.
Thanks,
Praveen
In addition to R Ubben's answer : reader.getPageSize(pageNumber) is exactly the same as reader.getBoxSize(pageNumber,"media").
That's how it's implemented in iTextSharp. You can see it in source code.
Extract:
public Rectangle GetPageSize(PdfDictionary page) {
PdfArray mediaBox = page.GetAsArray(PdfName.MEDIABOX);
return GetNormalizedRectangle(mediaBox);
}
use SetMarginMirroring(true)
The PDF standard doesn't really have the concept of margins, since a PDF is supposed to be device independent. What it can have is five boxes designed to constrain output: media box, crop box, bleed box, art box, and trim box. Usually the other four boxes are the same size or smaller than the media box.
If a mediabox is present in your pdfs, you could retrieve it and check to see that it is 0.5" smaller on each side than the page. Try comparing the results of reader.getPageSize(pageNumber) and reader.getBoxSize(pageNumber,"media"). Very likely they will be the same.
What you can do is rewrite the pdfs to make sure there are 1/2 inch margins. The easiest way to this is shrink the page.
