I found this post on Crystal Reports Cutting Off Text in PDF, but it didn’t solve my problem.

I have a Crystal Report that contains a field within a text object (to control line spacing) and has “can grow” selected. When I export the Crystal Report to a PDF there are instances when the text is cut off.

enter image description here

In this example the text is being cut off on the right side, but in some cases, when the text consists of many lines, the bottom part of the last line will be partially cut off.

I am using Crystal Reports that is bundled with Visual Studio 2008. The text area has “can grow” checked, the font is set to Helvetica LT Condensed, bold 14, and the line spacing is set to 0.75 times normal.

Anyone have any thoughts on how can I fix this?

    I think I’ve found out the problem. The bounding subreport width was smaller than the width of the field object. Adjusting it’s width fixed the truncation occurring on the right-hand side.

    On a side note, text being truncated on the bottom seems to be a result of adjusting the line-spacing too small. if you set the line spacing as a multiple of the original text point size and make it too small, the bottom part of the line is truncated. I changed this to “exact” and entered a specific point size (e.g line spacing of 18 pt. for my 16 pt. text) and this seemed to solve the problem. If the line spacing is too small it seems that Crystal masks off the bottom part of the text.
