AFP data alignment issue
« on: December 11, 2017, 09:18:48 AM »
We have an application loading 'True' afp data into CMOD....We have been using IBM Webi for viewing..Have no issues there..Recently began testing with Content Navigator...Users reports an issue when viewing this AFP report...It appears every other page has alignment issues...The pages with alignment issues the data is moving up one line......It appears with it being data, it would be related to a Pagedef...The 'boxes' on the form (formdef) remains in the same position...Its the data itself that is shifting every other page...Has anyone else encountered data alignment issues with Content Navigator?..As indicated, same exact version is viewed fine in Webi

Our systems team came back and indicated the following:  "the AFP2PDF utility we use can not convert AFP to PDF 100% authentically.  To overcome this, the application team has to add more space between header and content."  Has anyone else heard of this?

I'd consider that a bug in the tool that does the transformations.

This has nothing to do with solving the problem.  I'm curious as to whether the AFP passes the arsafpd checking.
