How to set Page footer to the bottom of the every page in Jasper Reports? - jasper-reports

Answer 1

Are you sure its page footer? because page footer will always be at the bottom of page. Try decreasing the height, may be the top of your page footer is at middle of the page. And one more thing, page footer will always be after detail section unless you don't have a column footer in between.

Answer 2

I just facing same issue, It seems that pageFooter extends its height to fill all left space if exists.
Try to change all your page footer elements position to "FixRelativeToBottom"
<reportElement positionType="FixRelativeToBottom" ... >
