At our company we use Crystal Reports to generate various .pdf files in the application. Prior to this year we were on a 2008R2 server and all was fine, we migrated the EXACT same codebase to 2012R2 server and the reports now do not follow the 'suppress embedded field blank lines' on text objects. I've even modified the reports (empty space somewhere) saved the updated copy and saved it on the server app and when generated there is tons of empty space between lines (empty spaces). I'll attach a pdf that came from the Windows 2012 server (not working) and one from 2008 (working). Again these reports are identical, nothing is different except we migrated. I've also tried: isNull({value}) and that isn't working either.
I've installed version 13.0.12.1494 on the 2012 box and I think 13.0.2000.0 is on the 2008 box. I've changed the values in the web.config to make sure they are matching installed CR version. Any help appreciated. I'm out of ideas.
