I have a C# program that uses .NET 2.0 Local Report Rendering to create an SSRS2005 designed PDF.
One of my users struggles to read text on 1280 x 1024 resolution, so instead of lowering her resolution, she changed her DPI settings to 125%.
When the report is generated on her PC and we open it up, the font is too large and the values are not entirely inside the columns.
Aside from returning DPI settings to 100% and rather lowering her resolution for her, is there any way to programmatically cater for this?
The best I could find was this white paper from Microsoft. They basically tell you to make your app “High DPI Aware” by doing some checks and adjusting your GUI accordingly.
