Andy,
Try out the left padding and right padding for that field
It might work for you?

Subject: [jasperreports-questions] Trailing whitespace being stripped
from PDF
Short version: PDF export is stripping trailing whitespace from all text
fields, and this is a problem. For one thing, the resulting PDF no
longer matches the Swing jasper viewer.
Long version:
I have a report in which I'm attempting to line up money amounts. The
requirement is that the digits must be right justified and must line up
for both negative and positive amounts. Negative amounts show in
parenthesis. For example:
45,345.32
2,452.10
(5,909.00)
(41,000.00)
(note, the above must be viewed in a fixed font to appear correctly).
To accomplish this I use a fixed font with right justification. I then
place empty spaces around positive dollar amounts: " 45,345.32 " so that
they align with negative amounts, which are surrounded by parenthesis.
This works fine when using the Swing Jasper viewer, but the exported PDF
strips all trailing whitespace from text fields so that the numbers no
longer align. Is there a way I can preserve these trailing whitespace
characters in the .pdf?
Thanks,
Andy
