I Have a report with n sub-reports, how do I remove the vertical space between two sub-reports?
Is the vertical space fixed by default?
P.S. CanShrink is set to true already.
There're should be no space if there's no gap between Subreport controls. For troubleshooting this issue just "color" the content of subreports to see which one produces "vertical space".
If you provide a simplified sample (with no datasource) someone could provide you the solution.

I am importing data from a single data set in my crystal reports. I have just a single column table in my report. I want to arrange some data vertically say 10 rows of the table (In two vertical lines) and some data horizontally say next 10 rows of the same table (In two horizontal lines). I have managed to do the first part that is arranged the vertical lines side by side (By using the option Format With Multiple Columns in the section expert. I am facing difficulty in arranging horizontal lines on the same page (side by side of vertical lines). Any hints how can I achieve this. Any help will be appreciated.
Note: I have tried the subreports method, but was unsuccessful. The subreports shows one row per page for horizontal data and vertical data also limits then one row per page when I use subreports.

Make sure to choose the correct printing direction. Tick `Across then Down':
Go to Section Expert.
Select the section you want to make it multiple column under "Sections" (usually it's 'Details')
Make sure you have "Format with Multiple Columns" is checked under Common Tab
Now you should see Layout Tab on the top right corner, select that.
Set Width to 2" or whatever you want under Detail Size.
Then under "Printing Direction" set "Across then Down" option.
Click OK and you are all set :)
Is it possible to vertically center my report footer in the leftover space at the end of the page? The size of this leftover section depends on number of data rows.
There's no easy way to vertically center things in Crystal. Frustrating as it may be, there's no Vertical Alignment property on most things, and the Size/Position of things is static except when other objects push them around to make room for themselves.
However there is a ridiculously silly hack you can do to make this work.
Write a formula, let's call it SillySpaceFormula, that uses a loop to generate a certain number of return characters. Based on the number of records on this page, SillySpaceFormula will grow or shrink inversely. Set Silly's font size to be half the size of your details section. Then place this formula in a section above the orange-outlined box and set "Can Grow" to True.
If you do this just right, SillySpaceFormula will grow by one line when a record is removed and shrink by one line when a record is added. Because the formula field Can Grow, the orange box in your screenshots will be moved up and down automatically.
I am using Jaspersoft studio 6.2. In my report, only one summary band, two crosstabs are placed vertically. The issue is the two crosstabs will overlap if I don't leave enough space for the top crosstab. But the truth is the row group is from a query so is dynamic, I will never know what height is enough (or too much) for the top crosstab. I am from other reporting tools (ssrs, crystal), this never been an issue, just wondering what's the best practice to deal with it in Jasper?
EDIT: added screenshots
The report definition in jaspersoft studio. There are two crosstabs in summary band. There is not much space between two crosstabs.
The result: you can see two crosstabs overlap.
The only solution I have is to put huge space between the two like this: The only problem is next time there may be more data and crosstab 1 may grow and will overlap again.
Set position type = Float of second crosstab.
You can find it in properties - > appearance tab.
All Works fine but, rows margin do not cover all height. as shown in attached these two pictures.
How I am doing: I put rectangle in detail band, than sub report and other fields. on all fields, sub-report and rectangle i also apply stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject and isStretchWithOverflow="true" for warping up the text which works fine. I am facing this problem still unresolved.
As per my understanding: sub-Report fields are also stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject but didn't detect or get stretched of its main-report column. while if sub-report need extra space it will show properly. I have tried almost every thing available in iReport-Designer.
Drop figures. Use borders, preferably via report styles.
I created this report in iReport Professional 4.5.1 and deployed it to JasperReports Server today. The total page width is 792 pixels. In my report I have some horizontal lines that are 752 pixels wide. When I run the report in JR Server the horizontal lines stretch all the way over to the right side of my monitor. This happens when I schedule the report and ask JR Server to save it as an HTML file, but when I schedule the report and save the output as a PDF the lines are the correct size.
How can I keep the horizontal lines from stretching? The stretch type for each line is set to "no stretch." My other report elements are managing to hold their position.
Thanks,
Lisa
Try using cell borders to draw those lines instead of a static "horizontal lines."
Thanks, Sam! Your answer helped me solve this. My report is a 6-column report and I have labels that I only print in the first column. Cell borders wouldn't work because there would be lots of gaps. However, I realized that my horizontal line did not need to be 752px wide; it only needs to be slightly wider than the width of the first column and the report will take care of copying it into the subsequent columns for me. I set the horizontal lines to 127px wide and now I have an unbroken horizontal line that runs through all of my columns. I can't believe that didn't occur to me when I was creating the report in iReport.
