I want to print jasper reports on Avery L7654 (40 Labels per sheet) Label sheet. I have attached my present configuration. With this configuration I am getting 4*12 per sheet. But am looking for 4*10 (40 labels per sheet). Please suggest how do to configure the report.

The number of rows you get are determined by the detail band.
If you need a row height 25.5 mm this would give us about 72 pixels.
pixels = (mm * dpi) / 25.4; //The DPI in jasper report is 72
So the definition of the detail band should be:
<detail>
<band height="72">
... your text fields ...
</band>
</detail>

I'm working on a report in Jasper for Java. I put the table header in the title band, the content in the details band and the summary part of table in the summary band (these are all different tables). The same Dataset is used in all three tables.
Here is the scheme of bands
However, when I print it to pdf (via Java REST service) this gap appears between tables. Picture
Tell me please how to remove it? Any ideas appreciated.
Stretch the row height to full title band.
Also adjust the height of the band using below code snippet:
<band height="<your_couple_of_lines_of_text_height>">
<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER} < 2]]></printWhenExpression>
the_conditional_header_content_here
</band>
I would like to resize subreport's text field (before include into main report) like the highest main report's text field.
As you can see the subreport's text field does not have equal height.
You need to work with stretchType, you can't set the height dynamically in any other way (not considering via java code)
On reportElement tag you have the attribute stretchType, which you can set to RelativeToBandHeight or RelativeToTallestObject. I would go for:
stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject"
However this function will stretch relative to largest object in band, which in your case is the band in the subreport, so probably you should think this the other way around, hence
Set desired field size in subreport then stretch the textElements in your main report, to match the height of your subreport.
Say that a jasper report should be generated to a thermal printer. The detail band may be 1 row or 200+ rows.
How to generate jasper report with its height fitting to the row count instead of printing white-spaces in the end?
Set the pageHeight to just one row and then use
isIgnorePagination="true"
When isIgnorePagination is true the report will be generated in a
single page.
Hence, if just one row, it will have the height of one row, if more rows it will not create new pages but generate a continues layout.
For example see: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/nopagebreak/
i have a title band. my report is landscape 595 by 842. i simply want the title band to take up a full page and be able to add text to the very bottom of that title page/band.
i have tried position fix relative to bottom. it still floats up. i have tried making the title band 559 high (with 36 top margin to make 595). that works except there is tons of white space and so if something on the title expands (dynamic data) the text at title page bottom breaks to second page.
Got it! Problem is that title band does not stretch, so fix relative to bottom does not work. Solution is to add a background band, height of report (minus margin). Then put page footer there, is will show on title and all other pages. Then add a blank page footer to save white space for the real footer in the background. done.
Why not use only the pageFooter and then if you only like it to display on first page use the printWhenExpression.
<pageFooter>
<band height="50">
<printWhenExpression><![CDATA[$V{PAGE_NUMBER}.intValue()==1]]></printWhenExpression>
<textField>
<reportElement x="0" y="0" width="100" height="20" uuid="dd4c229b-7453-4026-b01e-cfc325053335"/>
<textFieldExpression><![CDATA["You will only see me on first page"]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
</band>
</pageFooter>
Note the pageFooter will be present on every page (even if blank), this is the famous firstPageFooter request / tracker, but this seems not to be your case since you are already adding it later...
I have a detail band with potentially a lot of text fields in it. It can get too wide to fit on a page. The result is that it just runs off the edge of the page and you can't see it all. I'd like the detail band to wrap around to another line. Is there any way to do this?
My detail band is built dynamically in the code and the number of fields can vary. I tried manually placing the overflowing fields lower in the band by setting their y values, but then if the text in the fields overflows into two lines, my height calculations are off and the results get really messed up.
So is there any way to constrain the band to fit on the page?
Unfortunatelly, the strech types in jasper only works between bands, not within the band.
You can't (even manualy) create a jrxml which will cause a lower element in a band be correctly possitioned when an upper element overflows.
You will need to create more than one detail band. In iReport, you use 'Add another detail band' (on the detail band context-menu). Dynamically, it would look something like:
JRDesignSection detailSection = (JRDesignSection)design.getDetailSection();
JRDesignBand detail2 = new JRDesignBand();
detailSection.addBand(detail2);
Perhaps on your reportElement for each field in the band you need to set the attribute stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject".
<reportElement stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject" ...>
I'm pretty sure that's what works for me.
