I am able to create a text file from jasper implementation. Screenshot attached, the problem being faced here is that: In the individual pages , if there are less rows, jasper is creating the page with a default height (595 px as mentioned in jrxml) which makes rows after valid rows as blank and then creates a new page.
If i change the height to a smaller number, then the rows of the first page are flowing to the next page which should not be the case.
I want the new page to start from the place where first page records end. How can i configure this dynamic nature for every page in a jrxml.
Try to make the table height, band height, in which the table component is located and the report height to be same.
Suppose if table is in detail band and table height is 50 and there is no other component in the detail band, then make detail band height to 50 and the report height to 50.

I am very new to jasper reports so please bare with me. I created a new jasper report using the "tree" template. I simply used a table that has ~50 fields (select * from mytable). Jasper reports created the report. I made no other modifications, whatever jasper studio generated is the fie I have. It seems to have a height of 1420px. The columns are on the left, the values are on the right. When I go preview the report now, I get the error message:
the detail section, the page and column headers and footers and the
margins do not fit the page height
I understand that there are so many columns, it is to large for the report, but do not know how to solve it. I would like the report to automatically start a new page whenever the data fills up. I do not know the exact heights these fields will have as it depends on how much text is inside of each, which depends what is stored in the database. How can I accomplish so that the report automatically starts a new page when it needs to?
I'm using ireport designer 5.6.0. I'm trying to display data using table and in page header display number of pages. I found videos on youtube with examples where they put table inside Detail band and generate report,but it's not working for me, it's like in some loop only displaying "Generating report".
When I try to move table in some other band (page footer/header or summary), table is displayer, but page number is only displayed once instead for every page of report.
Is it posible in this version put table in detail band? Or should I maybe create subreport with table in it and put that inside detail band, so that page number would be displayed correctly?
Basically detail band will be displayed only when the main dataset query returns rows greater than one. I came to know from your question that there is no query for the main dataset. Also if the main dataset query returns 5 rows, then your table will be displayed or repeated 5 times. Make sure your main dataset query returns only row.
Also have a look at the problem due to the table component in detail band
I'm using the table in my jasper report.When i put the table in the detail section it repeats the table so i put it to the summary band.
I also want to add the page footer in my report too.
How can i do this jasper report 5.5 ?
If you are using iReport to design your report, there is an easy way to add/remove bands, such as a Page Footer. On the left, on the Report Inspector, if "Page Footer" is in light grey (which means it is not inserted), right click on it, and select "Add Band" :
Also, another way i deal with tables, is by adding all the tables column headers in a single row on the Title band positioned on the lower border of the band, and right down to them, again on a single row, all the TextFields containing the data (inside the Detail band). These way, the first row will be printed only once, and all the part in the detail band (which means all the rows of the table) will be printed. You have just to make a little cell formatting to make it appear with a table fashion (such as borders, background etc) which is very easy with iReport:
I have a crosstab with many columns but only a few rows. When I generate the report the crosstab reuses the empty space below the rows from one page and renders the next columns for the same rows. This way several pages are compacted vertically on one page:
I want the columns from day 20 to day 27 (the second part of the crosstab) to be displayed on a new page not on the same page and leave that space empty.
The solution is to set the Column Break Offset property of the crosstab to a very high value such that it exceeds the page height. This way the report will continue on the next page.
I am creating invoices with JasperReports.
I have a Detail section that has the list of all items followed by a column footer which has Totals, Tax etc., and then the return policy in the Summary section.
I want to always ensure that the Detail is followed by Column footer followed by Summary bands. How can we ensure this? I found that sometimes the Summary comes before the Column footer.
Can someone throw some light on this?
There really is not much of a solution to this at the moment as it seems to be by-design and not a bug (personally I think they should have an option for this). Your options at the moment though are:
Create a Report Group (this is essentially a dummy report group,
doesn't really matter). Move your Column Footer contents into the
Group Footer band, and leave your Summary in the Summary band.
This seemed to work in my limited tests, and I would try it first.
Set Float Column Footer and Summary on new Page to true under the
main report properties. This has the unfortunate side effect that the
summary will always be printed on a second page regardless if
everything could fit on one.
Set Float Column Footer to true and move your Summary section to
the Last Page Footer band. This means it will only be printed once,
but the content will be oriented towards the bottom of the last page.
Edit: For the shed some light on this part of the question. It is by design. The Column Footer is seen/treated as essentially a specialized Page footer. So body content (detail band, summary band, etc.) are placed on the page above it always. The only time it does not seem to happen is when the summary is printed on a new page, after the last Column Footer has been printed. So it is by design.
I've been looking for answers to this silly formatting question for hours, and I think I might have found a useable solution:
move your Column Footer content to the Page Footer and,
create a Last Page Footer but set its width to 1 pixel with no content inside
This allowed me to have some borders/subtotals at the bottom of every column, whilst ignoring the footer-before-summary/total-before-subtotal problem on the last page because the Last Page Footer overwrites the Page Footer (summary) content.
Add a last page Footer , in that add the content of your column footer after that increase band width and add the summary content into that(last page footer) and remove the content from the summary band.
