I am putting a footnote in an .rtf template, and before generating a report it seems ok,
but when I load an XML sample and preview the document (.pdf or .doc etc.)
the footnote content goes right into the body of my report (example is in the picture).
I've tried using text boxes, but it doesn't help.
I've also tried just making a paragraph look as a footnote, but since I have a lot of
tags in my template, the footnote-looking text doesn't stay at the
bottom of the page.
and I can't use footers/headers because I need only one footnote at one page.
Try to draw a borderless table with one column and two rows where the first row has fixed hight (exactly) of the size of body, and the second row fixed hight of the size you want to reserve for the footer. Then you place your xml data in those two rows of the table the same way as you put it on the page. I use that for different forms when the position of the data is fixed. There are also other table/row/column properties that you might want to use.

I'd like to be able to edit my word document like said in the title. This is what my document look like after exporting to docx:
Structure: the table is generated with seven cells in a detail band. Every page have a footer and header of fixed length.
Problem: if i delete something on the first page, my text on the second page doesn't go up to the first. I managed to get text and tables moving in the same page but can't figure out how to do this with different pages. Jasper export to .docx using tables, you can see the gridlines in the picture. Table structure prevent the elements to float between pages. If i delete manually the "header" and "footer" tables from the document, my second page cells go up to the first. But it's a pain to edit manually every page of a 20 pages document everytime.
Desired solution: I want the text or tables to go up if i'm simply deleting something on the previous page.
Tried every combination of floating elements, subreport, stretc and so on. Nothing worked.
I know Jasper is not intended for massive editing after exporting but this is what i need now.
I need to display data in a basic grid, with borders, column headers, etc. How can this be done in a Crystal Report without having to draw every single line and position/size every field?
I've tried a lot of different things, but it is all so sloppy and time consuming. Isn't there an easy way to just display a table in a grid?
the solution here turned out to not use Crystal Reports. To use alerts in SAP BizOne. It works great for a quick well formatted data subscription case
A Crosstab can display results in a footer after the main report has been run. This is the least "time consuming" option, as you put it.
Otherwise the quickest way to turn an existing report into a "table" is to simply add line elements that span from the header to the footer, dividing your fields into columns. The line elements will resize such that they cover all sections:
When I export my report to pdf, appear me weird page breaks.
If a lengthy report, that happens to me is that if a table does not fit in the remaining space of a page, it automatically passes me to the page below, thus creating blanks spaces.
Already have enabled the property Keep Together, interactive size to 0 and i unchecked keep together on one page if possible in tablix properties.
However I think the problem is not in the table, because before that, I have a textbox with a title, and is between the table and the textbox that makes page break.
I have already put the textbox and table inside a rectangle, but still have this problem.
Any suggestions?
Q: is the table / text box that responsible for the page break issue is inside a Subreport ?
If so, then this is your problem (unless you make a call that this table will always be short enough to stay in single page).
You have to understand: the subreport is the cause for the breaking, the table will not split because it is presented by the sub-report that has to stay in one piece.
The options are:
Stay with the subreport - but make sure that the table Maximum length will still fit the Page that the sub-report is lay in it.
take out the table from the subreport and place it directly in the main report - that way when the table too long to stay in single page, it will split into two pages.
i am creating a report for SQL Server 2008.
i have a table with some rows. One of the row has a long text which will be displayed. If the text has a certain length, the whole row will be displayed on the second page and the half of the first page is empty.
If the text is a bit shorter, the text will be displayed correctly on the first page.
If the text is a bit longer, the text will also be displayed correctly (the first part of the text on the first page, the second part on the second page).
I cant find any settings for this problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Alex
You could look at the Keep together on one page if possible setting at the Tablix level.
You can also look at the KeepTogether property at the row level and at other levels, e.g. Group.
Another option is to insert any objects to be kept together in a parent Rectangle object; this will always keep items together where possible.
I am creating an invoice using the iTextSharp. That displays nicely but sometime, when invoice items are larger in qty, the summary portion (which displays subtotal, tax, discounts, grand total etc) is splitted. Some displayes in current page and some moves to next page. I was thinking to move entire summary portion into next page, if current height left is not enough for that.
However, to do that, I need to know that how much page height is left (after my current page content rendering). I wonder if someone know how to calculate current left height of the page? OR if there is a property in the pdfPTable which may force the table to print itself as a whole and dont let it split across multiple pages! I guess if second option is available, it will be easy.
In summary, I need to know if it is possible to calculate remaining page height, and also if that is possible to force a table to NOT split across multiple pages.
thank you.

You can set SplitLate to false to avoid auto page break in a cell data exceeds limit.
......
table.addCell(cellData);
table.SplitLate = false;
......
I suggest you use a nested table for your summary section. I don't believe iText will split a given cell on a page boundary, so everything in that cell (even if its a nested table with cells of its own) will stay on the same page.
Use the table's cell's row span so it takes up an entire row on its own.
I'm not certain, but I'd wager a beer on it.
What object are you using to add your data to the PDF? MultiColumnText, Paragraph, Phrase?
You should be able to use Document.PageSize.Height property to return the height of the Page.
Then use PDFPTable.Height to return the height of your table.
So just use the logic Document.PageSize.Height - table.Height, and you'll have the remaining y-axis space available.
The PDFPTable object has properties named SplitLate and SplitRows. I believe you can use these properties to try and keep the table on one page.
