Question : ReportViewer Export to PDF Loses Tabs or Multiple Blnak Spaces

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 Web App, created with VS.NET 2005, and a remote report (SS2005) that displays perfectly in a browser. Upon exporting to PDF, any line that begins with tabs or multiple blank spaces gets collapsed and as a result my data is misaligned. What can I do to preserve the alignment?

Answer : ReportViewer Export to PDF Loses Tabs or Multiple Blnak Spaces

There are some issues with the PDF rendering.
One option is to look for 3rd party renderers - such as Aspose - to see if they have this issue or not. Another is to tweak what you are displaying for instance strip the tab out with a Replace function. You can dynamically increase the Left Padding property by detecting if there was a tab to over come this.

So the Value would be something like (you'll have to check exact syntax);
    =(Fields!MyField.Value).Replace(vbTab, "")

And the Left Pad property would be something like;
    =IIf((Fields!MyField.Value).IndexOf(vbTab) = 0, "1pt", "4pt")

You can add to these expressions to test for multiple spaces too.
