Customizable activity box sizes in order view all text within it on the pdf exports - possible tooltip

The customer is really looking for a way to see all text within an activity box when it is exported to pdf. They're asking if they can customize the size of the activity box so it will be printed as is.

 

Development comments for this:

As per our implementation, the text which is visible to user in activity in UI will be available in PDF export as well. There is no option to increase the size of activity. We can have an RFE to include this as a tooltip or something

    On the UI side we will look at the possibility of increasing the character count length on the activity boxes. Potentially utilising tools tip as per the suggestion. We will add this to future consideration. However, for the PDF export we are limited on what can be displayed. Many thanks for the RFE
