I've read in JasperReports Library 6.12.2 Change Log
added support for PDF forms into the core library using custom properties at report element level
to convert the report elements into editable text fields, lists, check boxes or radio groups when
the report is exported to PDF format;
Can somebody help and describe how to use this possibilty?
I tried to set for textfield
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.text.isInputForm" value="true"/>
but it does not work.
Many thanks in advance.
Take a look at the JasperReports PDF forms sample documentation.
Individual properties are also documented in the JasperReports Configuration Reference.

I was trying to export my jasper report to csv format where I had removed the repetitive headers and footers but I also want to remove the report title band which should give me the clean data. Is there any way to achieve this?
Found the solution myself,
You just need to add an property in your report source as below,
<property name="net.sf.jasperreports.export.csv.exclude.origin.band.title" value="title"/>
As being newbie it will be difficult to find the solution, and i don't understand why people are down voting instead trying to answer it.
I have a report where I am using an on-demand sub-report. But my user is viewing this report from a java application. So whenever he run the report he will view this report in PDF.
Report format:
country name location sales
<on-demand subreport>
Now once he run the report he will get all the above fields data in PDF format.
So now if clicked on location field data in PDF will he get the sub-report's data.
PDF isn't intended to generate dynamic content. As such, you'll need to find an approach that will render the desire content in a static manner.
I would suggest that you parameterize your report to display one of these options:
main only
main + subreport
The PDF will either contain the main report's content or the main and subreport's content.

If you are using BusinessObjects Enterprise (BOE), you could use the openDocument API to generate a new report instance or the most-recently-generated instance. I don't know if Crystal Reports Server supports this feature for certain.
If you are rendering reports in a Java application, then you will need to a way to intercept the hyperlinks--a server, most likely. By in large, you'd be reinventing Crystal Reports Server/BOE.
Basically I understand as you need two thing.
you need to generate a report and export/generate in pdf.
in you need to attach link or something like editable field pdf.
For First answer, you can easily hide/show of sub-report in crystal report side. but not after report generate in pdf.
So for second answer, you need to pdf professional or editable allow version. after you get that you simply use itextsharp.dll (to generate pdf from asp.net-see below link).
So finally I think, does not needed crystal report.

Creating a fillable PDF form with ITextSharp
I am new to JasperReports and iReport and I am sturggling to get the most basic example up and running. I'm trying to read input from a .xls file and put it into a table using iReport. Eventually, I want to read from a database, and transform the data in a meaningful way but for now I just want to view what I am reading and I can't get that going. First, if I just drag and drop my Field into the template, $F{Account}, I would expect to see the list of values for that field name (as I do when I preview my "query"). However, if that is all I do and then preview, I see the first account number in my input xls, and then 50 pages of empty white space. Why would this be?
Next, if I create a basic table, I am getting an error
Error filling print... null
java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jasperreports.components.table.util.TableUtil.isSortableAndFilterable(TableUtil.java:344) ...
Print not filled. Try to use an EmptyDataSource...
Any help is greatly appreciated! Also, I should note, I did download JasperReports but I'm wondering if I need to somehow connect iReport to those classes. I saw a way to do it in the Netbeans plugin but I'm just trying to use the iReport GUI
The table component is great. But it's harder to use than it should be. Take a look at this Table Component tutorial to learn how to use it.
For the first part of your question you don't give enough information for anyone to know. My guess is that you put the field into the Title band rather than the Detail band.
I have a PDF file (softcopy) which was created using iText. Now my company decided to use JasperReports for new release. I need to use that PDF file (softcopy) and need to design JasperReports template and need to populate data.
Do we have any plugin in JasperReports that can convert from PDF to JasperReports JRXML or what do I need to do? Any suggestions?
A PDF is a description of how to render a document on a page. Things
like "draw a vertical line here", "write 'foo bar baz' here in
Courier". It does not contain any information about the format or
organisation of the stuff it is rendering. You won't be able to tell
that you're looking at a table, or a list of bullet points, or a
paragraph, or anything like that.
The PDF format does contain information on a page-by-page basis.
Therefore, page breaks are the one piece of format/organisation
information that you can find.
If you want anything more than a raw stream of completely unformatted,
disorganised text, one per page, you are out of luck. It's virtually
impossible.

You can use http://xmlprinter.com/ and then use a xslt to transform the resulted xml to the desired jrxml.
I'm working in it. If I finish it, i will post the result on github or any other public and open place.
Good Luck
I have created jrxml file and deployed it on jasper server. It provides its default input window. I want to add my own jsp to take input from user. There is option to add jsp, however I want to know how can I add jsp. I need steps.
Thanks......
Note: I haven't done this yet, but I will be working on it later today...
In Jasperserver 4.0, make a copy of /WEB-INF/jsp/modules/inputControls/DefaultParametersForm.jsp and customize that. Then, specify the customized file in the Optional JSP location field on the Controls and Resources page.
There's more information in the JasperServer Ultimate Guide.
