Hi,

This isn't a Cognos issue - PDF doesn't support embedded HTML.

Cheers!

Not unless you can persuade someone to change the PDF standard specification worldwide :) It's a PDF limitation, not anything to do with your Cognos report, so nothing you do in your Cognos report can change it.

Is there any alternative for writable html text content? Could you please advise?

Not with a PDF rendered output, no. If you want to be able to use HTML items, render the output as HTML.

Cheers!
