Issue with static text in the PDF designer

Answered

I have a static text field in my App. When I add that field to the PDF Designer, I get a kind of weird output. Basically, whenever I start a new paragraph, instead of getting the break, I get \n. How can I fix this?

  • Hi Sara,

    This happens because static text fields that you created in the App Builder itself have carriage returns and will be applied on the pdf output.

    What I mean by this is, you have following text within static field:
    Line 1: text <enter>
    Line 2: text <enter>
    Line 3: text <enter>

    (when you go to the next line, that creates a carriage return, which the PDF designer sees as /n)

    Instead of using a static text field from your app and inserting it onto the pdf designer, in the pdf designer itself, add a static text element and paste the text you want to appear with your carriage returns, it should work.
