SaveToPdf

I have come across something strange in pdf files created via SavetoPdf. It seems that if I copy some stuff out of one of these pdfs - like several lines of an address - and try to paste it into a text file, the lines are reversed top to bottom. Is this happening to anybody else? Other pdfs I have created otherwise dont do this. I only see this happen in pdfs created by navision and it will do it in any pdf created with REPORT.SaveToPdf. I found out when a customer tried to copy/paste some info from a PO I sent and it reversed it all when pasted.

Hi Steve
It is actually first time I have seen this issue mentioned, but I can tell you why it is wrong. The zindex of the controls is in wrong order. To make a temporary fix for you the easiest is to make a Rectangle and drag in the CompanyAddrX field in the right order 1-6. Then they should be ordered correctly in the PDF outlay.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling it may be something like that.

Finally got a chance to get back to this issue and I am not finding a zindex property on the controls that contain the data that is getting reversed. Is this a property that should be seen in the report layout editing?
