For anyone using alivePDF, I think this is a bug in the source. After checking with FPDF source, I think line 2001 in PDF.as should read:
} else this.x += pWidth; instead of: } else this.x += currentPage.w; currently this.x is being set to the page width which pushes any second cell you try to add (on the same line) off the page. I have posted the issue on the google code page, but I wanted to post this as well for anyone else, hitting their head against a wall with this one. This class is great. I am just digging in, but I definitely see the potential. It doesn't have the visual 'ease' of FlexReport (from what I can tell glancing at it today), BUT it allows for a very flexible PDF with annotations, etc. What we BADLY need in flex is a way to view PDF's natively. How about an Acrobat Flex component? Adobe? It truly boggles my mind that the company that created the PDF doesn't have a way to display it in Flex (without iFrame or PDF-SWF hacks)... I would love to understand what the challenge is? - Kevin --- In [email protected], "Kevin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am trying to figure out AlivePDF and having some problems which I don't > know if they are > bugs or user ignorance!
