I need to print legal contracts. What support for RTF on the reports will be available? I need to format text left/right/full justification, underline some word, bold some words all in the same text box.
As an alternative I could use a PDF file as a background image. The PDF file will have all of the formated text and lines, etc.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
We definitely understand your needs but at the time being we don't support RTF neither as a report item (some kind of a TextBox item) nor as an export format. Both are on our TODO list for next version(s). For now you can format only the whole TextBox format - not only some words.
The second scenario you're talking about is possible too - you can set a background image to the Report through Report.Style.BackgroundImage and it will be printed on every report page. You can also consider setting the PDF image as a background of the Detail section and make it print on a separate page (by using the DetailSection.PageBreak property).
Kind regards,

I tried to set the Report.Style.BackgroundImage programmatically (no designer) and it says it's read only.

Hi Briankb,
Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.
The BackgroundImage property is read-only by design since it is a composite property. If you open the property grid and locate the BackgroundImage property you will notice that it has three properties that control the actual background image. They are ImageData, MimeType and Repeat. The combination of these three defines how the background image will be rendered.
If you want to define your background image programmatically you should assign a System.Drawing.Image object to the ImageData property as described in the API Docs.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Kind regards,
Ross
