Customize pdf report

[fadiwissa]

Hello,
I am using SugarCRM PRO 6.2.1 (in trial)
The question below is related to the built-in Reports module...

I am running some basic table reports on the Opportunities module.
Next, I use the "Print as PDF" button to print the report to PDF.

The report looks great, but I need to be able to change the width of some report columns since they are currently almost equally sized though the content of some columns is much longer than others.

What is the easiest way to customize the built-in reports module's pdf's?

Would sincerely appreciate any prompt and clear help!

This is not supported with SugarCRM and the standard reporting module. You can neither set the column width in Display nor on the PDF: If this is required you can use our KINAMU Reporter where the option is available. Yet PDF Printing is only available in the licensed premium edition.

You also could try to use some php pdf library, and generate a new opportunity report based on database/sugar objects data, and make your own layout.

Hi fadiwissa,

You can set the width of column of pdf file that you generate from the Sugar's Report module.

You have to copy the file "sugarpdf.listview.php" from the location "modules/Reports/Sugarpdf/sugarpdf.listview.php" and put that file to the location custom/modules/Reports/Sugarpdf/sugarpdf.listview.php.

And add the following code in the display() function of that file.

$this->options['width'] = array( 'name of your column' => 'size of the column that you want to set');


This chages will be upgrade safe.
