I am looking for a way to define data justification (right or left) in the columns of a PDF export, is this possible to do?

If you haven't already tried playing with the column formats in the reports, that is what I would do. Wondering if there are OOTB functions to include extra space.

We have already played with the controls and see that the columns alignment changes work when rendering the ootb report but have no effect when generating PDFs.
Adding white spaces is not something I would consider as that approach would not be reusable and consistent.

I got a message asking me to comment on it if it's still open, yes, it's still open. No answer or fix has been provided or found.

Hi Sean,
1. For The RD which is to be exported, In the DataAccess tab check "Ignore application Skin when exporting to PDF" checkbox.
2.Apply your custom css in pyReport_ExportToPdfStyles (This style rule will be picked up when you check the RD rule dataaccess "Ignore application Skin when exporting to PDF")
3.For right Justification of columns I have overridden the fontFamily class in the css file.
- text-align:right ! important;
I have attached the screenshots for your reference. Hope it helps .
