KB20835: When using static text to make notes to a grid and exporting to PDF the static text misaligned in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.x.

SYMPTOM:
When a static text is used to make notes on a grid and placed inside a grid, it is shown correctly in Web, but when exported to PDF it looks shifted as shown below:
 

PDF View:
 

 
CAUSE:
This is caused because headers are now shown in two rows causing the grid size to be different from Web.
 
 
ACTION:
Follow these steps to have the same grid size in Strategy Web and PDF view:
 

• Open the Report Services Document in Strategy Web editable mode.
• Right click on the grid to show the grid menu and select the option "Resize Columns and Rows" as shown below:
  

• In the Resize Rows and Columns dialog box select Fixed for both Columns and Rows.
  

• If necessary move the static text to be aligned with the desired grid row.
• Export to PDF and notice that the static text now is shown as desired.
