+ +## Description + +When using the Telerik Reporting in the same application that processes MS Office documents and PDF files with Spire.Office libraries, the text in the rendered reports gets truncated unexpectedly. + +This issue occurs even when the Spire.Office operations are performed on completely unrelated documents before rendering the Telerik report. + +## Cause + +The issue is caused by Spire.Office modifying the global state of `System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericTypographic`. After Spire.Office processes documents, the `GenericTypographic` method no longer returns a `StringFormat` object with the expected format flags. + +**Expected StringFormat flags:** +- `StringFormatFlagsLineLimit` +- `StringFormatFlagsNoClip` +- `StringFormatFlagsNoFitBlackBox` + +**Actual StringFormat flags after Spire.Office usage:** +- `StringFormatFlagsLineLimit` +- `StringFormatFlagsNoClip` +- `StringFormatFlagsNoFitBlackBox` +- `MeasureTrailingSpaces` (additional flag) + +The extra `MeasureTrailingSpaces` flag causes incorrect text measurement in Telerik Reporting's GDI wrapper, leading to text truncation in some scenarios. + +## Solution + +To resolve this issue, manually remove the `MeasureTrailingSpaces` flag from the `GenericTypographic` StringFormat after using Spire.Office operations and before rendering Telerik reports: + +````C# +using Telerik.Reporting; +using Telerik.Reporting.Processing; + +// Spire.Office operations +Spire.Doc.Document document = new Spire.Doc.Document(); +var wordDocPath = "./wordtest.docx"; +var pdfFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine("../../../", "wordtest.pdf"); + +document.LoadFromFile(wordDocPath); +Spire.Doc.ToPdfParameterList toPdf = new Spire.Doc.ToPdfParameterList(); +document.SaveToFile(pdfFilePath, toPdf); +document.Close(); + +// Fix the StringFormat issue caused by Spire.Office +System.Drawing.StringFormat.GenericTypographic.FormatFlags &= ~System.Drawing.StringFormatFlags.MeasureTrailingSpaces; + +// Telerik Reporting operations +// ... +```` + +## Additional Information + +This issue affects only older versions of Spire.Office that use the GDI+ engine for text rendering. Starting from version `9.2.0`, it does not rely on GDI+. \ No newline at end of file From 4f30c60fc10bfdcf12e30341bb11b0860714fd57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petar Todorov <109748926+petar-i-todorov@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2025 18:58:30 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Update knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md b/knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md index 13b18d868..30bf70458 100644 --- a/knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md +++ b/knowledge-base/text-truncation-spire-office-reporting.md @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ res_type: kb 19.2.25.1001 8.12.2 or earlier - + ## Description
