>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>I have couple of reports, which we're sending to PDF. The reports worked fine till today. Today all of the sudden some numeric fields show * instead of values. Nothing was recently installed on user's machines, besides, this problem could be replicated on each machine. I fixed several reports already by increasing the width of the field. In Preview I see them normally displayed. If I switch to PDF and then preview, I see asterics. It looks like the font (Times New Roman, 8) is a little bit bigger in PDF, than in Report.

Right. But the mystery remains, why it worked yesterday and stopped today? Anyway, I fixed the particular reports, we identified this problem, and will have to fix each other case, if the problem will show up again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
