I am currently working on a project that has chosen JasperReports as their tool to create PDF documents. It is a PHP project, using web services to talk to JasperReports to create the PDF's from pre-designed templates.
Unfortunately, everyone on the project has very little experience with JasperReports and Jaspersoft Studio.
One of our requirements is to build a report, where the first page is landscape and has many text fields on them, 2 of which (if the text overflows) need to continue onto 2 different reports (both portrait).
We are having trouble finding a solution to allow multiple orientations, and continuing the 2 different text areas on 2 different continuation sheets.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I was wondering if it is possible to print/down large PDF large report from a dashboard that requires many pages with a company logo. I tried view and it is only what is on my screen and the specific sheets from this dashboard does not include the logo which I need.
Not big text tables like that :( Essentially Tableau is a dashboarding tool and what you have created is a massive spreadsheet - that you now want to turn into a PDF? (yikes!!)
I'd revisit your requirements. Is it easier to pull the data directly from the database as a CSV? and then do some formatting? A PDF will be a nightmare for any user.
Tableau has (in my own opinion) limited features about exporting data in different formats, and it is because it is not a reporting tool (like SAP BusinessObjects for example).
The best way to add a company logo is to add an "Image" block inside your dashboard with the logo. The following image shows how to add in Tableau Online, I can't understand if you're using Tableau Online or Tableau Server, you mention Tableau Web that does not exist :-) .
Now I think that your problem is if you want to repeat the logo on every single page that you export, is this your case?
I'm just wondering is it possible to format columns alignment in Jaspersoft Server Report, based on Ad Hoc view ? By default columns are on the left side, and if Report contains only several columns it looks a bit weird. I have added some header and footer to the Templates in the Studio, so we have a logo and some variables due to the client's requirements, but I can't find how to centralize columns when I run the Report on Server ?! Google it for past couple of days, but still can't find the solution. Tried to modify Source by adding some styles, but without success ... Any ideas where to look ? Thanks
P.S. Here is a sample what I want to achieve -->
I'm doing a report for a client and I am not able to mount it according to your need. What he needs is to generate an A4 sheet of PDF in landscape mode, each containing sheet two pages (odd and even), and each page with 3 columns.
Already researched in various forums (both here in JUG as in others) but none could find something to help me with this resolution, and I'm already late with the delivery of this software, where only lack this report the products.
To illustrate better, I am sending this post the image of the result I need.
Please staff, someone knows and / or ever needed to generate a report of two pages on one single sheet? The 3 columns I can generate, but only on 1 page.
If you have any idea or suggestion to also otherwise to generate, will be very welcome, because my chances are very close to exhausted, so I need, and your help.
I'm using version 5.6.0 IReport
Add a one more detail band and those three columns which you would like to show in second page. Adding detail bands makes adding different pages.
I have a Crystal Reports project that I am working on where I need to generate a label with UPC-A's. After doing a bit of research, I've found that Azalea Software offers a tool that is suppose to integrate barcode objects into your application.
I purchased the software from Azalea, followed all of their instructions and I can not get their software to work with my report. I don't want to speak ill of Azalea, because their support has been great, but is anyone aware of a legitimate alternative for UPC-A barcode creatioon from within Crystal Reports 2008?
I don't mind purchasing another 3rd party API, I just need to be able to generate dynamic UPC-A images from the UPC-A numbers that I need to encode stored within my database.
Further information-- this is a label document that is printed from a ClickOnce published application that uses the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime, and the Crystal Reports Document Viewer control to view and print these labels.
We use IDAutomation for our barcoding. Very easy to use when installed, you use it like a font on calculated barcode fields. We use it mainly for Code-39 and Code-128 barcodes; though looking at the site it can make UPC/EAN codes too. It also has a selection of sizes for each barcode, alongside the normal font resizing.
On our version you have to install the fonts on every client computer running the report locally; but only once on telnet servers etc.
I'm in an environment where I have created reports in CrystalReports 10 and only want my users to view the report from an external application. The application is already set up to open the report with crystal, but I don't want my users to be able create or change the report. I can't seem to find a command line option to do this. Is there a runtime only version of Crystal?
embed crviewer and craxdrt components in your app (delivered with CR developer's edition, free to distribute) so that you'll be able to view reports without modifying them. Basic manipulations (zoom, search, export to pdf, display/hide details or groups) can still be done.
If you must launch this viewer from a command line, I'd advise you to embed it in an office document/file and manage it through VBA. You could for example launch the runtime version of Access (free to distribute) that will contain one generic form for Crystal Reports display.
There are Crystal Reports viewer components which you can use in your projects. They are coming with the Crystal Reports Developer editions and you can use them in almost every programming language. There you can define the report as view only if you want.
Go to SAP.com and search for "Crystal Reports Viewer". It may or may not do what you want.
Also take a look at "Crystal Reports Server". CRS XI is a nice reporting portal with many useful server-side features. Schedule reports to run and auto-publish. Generate PDF or Excel output. Limit access to reports (or groups of reports) by specific users, etc. But for your application you can use HTTP access within your application to the published results. This is a good solution for example when you have a large number of users viewing the same reports.
What about marking the file as read-only? If the viewer opiton isn't open to you.
