AF: traditional-pdf report template generates a "cut-off" PDF report

[UgniusV]

Describe the bug

When using traditional-pdf report template with Automation Framework, the generated PDF has sections that are "cut-off". One such example is the description section. Please see the screenshot below:

The description is not formatted correctly, and half of it is not visible, resulting in "hard-to-read" reports.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

When using Automation Framework, try to generate the report with traditional-pdf template:

  - parameters:
      template: "traditional-pdf"
      reportDir: "/tmp"
      reportFile: "ZAP-Report-[[site]]"
    name: "report"
    type: "report"

The resulting report will have sections that are "cut-off", just like in the screenshot above.

Expected behavior

All sections of the PDF report should be visible and properly formatted.

Could you check if this happens with traditional-html?

[thc202]

That one does not have any problem. I'm not able to reproduce the reported issue with the local system (did not try with Docker image yet).

[kingthorin]

Thanks. I thought the pdf was basically a conversion of the html, so I thought maybe it was just missing a wrap tag or something ☹️

[UgniusV]

@thc202 were you able to reproduce the issue with owasp/zap2docker-stable:2.12.0 image?

[thc202]

No, I don't see that behaviour when using the stable image. Did you try with different PDF viewers?

If the problem is not with the PDF viewer run the attached plan (ReportPdf.txt) and share the resulting PDF, e.g.:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/zap/wrk/:rw -it owasp/zap2docker-stable zap.sh -cmd -autorun /zap/wrk/ReportPdf.txt

[thc202]

@UgniusV could you try the above?

Same "cut-off" issue with Traditional PDF Report also exists in 2.14.0 and Traditional HTML Report does not suffer from the same issue.

I acknowledge the #7885 bug report was raised relating to the Automation Framework, and the issue I'm experiencing whilst identical, is through the app. Happy to raise a separate bug report if preferred...

[kingthorin]

No need, it's bound to be the same underlying issue.

@UgniusV & @bennos1911 could you provide your ZAP info from ZAPs menu Help > Support Info, or from the CLI using the -suppinfo switch?

[bennos1911]

[thc202]

It would be great if you could try this: #7885 (comment)

[bennos1911]

Here you go... doesn't look to suffer from this issue :-/

Does the report that's truncated have long lines somewhere?

[bennos1911]

Yes. Example below.

Same example with highlighted text overflow
