  Title: CODE INFORMATION SHOWN IN DEVICE AVAILABILITY SUMMARY
  REPORT PDF CREATES CONFUSION FOR CUSTOMER
  AND CHART VALUES TRUNCATED.
  Problem: 1) The code displayed on the top of the PDF file is
  script function that can be used only if it is HTML and is not
  applicable to a PDF. It should be disabled for PDF format.
  2)The Device Availability Summary report format was initially
  designed for HTML. It won't fit to the PDF format.
  All the results on right side have been truncated.
  Resolution: The report has been modified to add a specific
  format for PDF output.
  Link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV04531
  These reports below need to fit the PDF layout as well as the
  HTML layout
  Device Egress Traffic Health Summary and
  Device Ingress Traffic Health Summary
  Below is an example of what needs to be fixed in these
  reports above.  The example is taken from Device Availability
  Summary report.
