Removing HTML in PDF version of reports

[Karl Wilkens]

We have a report using Q3 2010 Reporting that contains html tags that we need for the on screen report, but absolutely dont want for export to PDF and other export formats. I see we can do a StripHTMLTags easy enough but when using that, it affects the formatting of the online report viewer presentation adversely. Is there a way to do StripHTMLTags Only if we are exporting? Thanks.

Hello Karl,

Are you getting raw HTML in the export formats? If that is the case, then most likely you're using the standard TextBox item, when you should use the HtmlTextBox for handling HTML in your reports. You can see the supported HTML tags and CSS attributes in the latter article.

Hi Maliwan,

The TextBox item would display value as you set it, so if it is HTML, it would be displayed as raw HTML in PDF format. The HtmlTextBox item on the other hand, would handle the HTML you have passed as value and display it accordingly in all supported formats. There is no middle option i.e. you either display the raw HTML or it is handled from our HTML engine. If you have custom requirements, you would have to apply them to the data prior binding the report to it.
