I have created a report (JasperReports) that contains Page Header, Detail, and Page Footer bands. The Page Header and Page Footer contain static content to compose a header and footer that should be printed on each page.
I want the Detail in a separate file (SubReport) so that I can update Page Header and Page Footer without having to make the same updates to multiple reports.
There is a SubReport in the Detail band. The SubReport has a link to a database and displays records, but does not need any information from the report. The records are displayed when you view the SubReport individually, and the SubReport is linked, but nothing is displayed in the main report, and the resulting document is 84 pages. I don't know why the result is 84 pages. The SubReport I am currently using is only 24 pages.
I was able to get static content to show by selecting "All Sections, No Detail" in the properties, but with an SQL Query in the SubReport, there should be data to display. How can I accomplish this?
After viewing this link: http://salilstock.blogspot.ca/2012/06/jasper-subreport-modularize-jasper.html, I attempted to insert the header and footer as SubReports in my main report. This approach seems promising.

I have a report containing 2 subreports. The whole thing easily fits on one page but a second blank page is consistently being generated.
This has nothing to do with the page width being too large because it
isn't, and the second blank page displays the report header and footer.
i have supressed the unused section even after that second blank page is diaplayed with report header and footer.
Having an annoying problem with a report. It's a fairly simple report with 1 group and multiple detail sections (each detail section contains a subreport).
Sometimes the data makes the groupfooter start just on the next page, printing an empty page with just the groupheader and pagefooter.
The "standard" solution of adding Not OnLastRecord formula in the groupfooters New Page After option doesn't work.
I've been trying with Suppress, Hide, Keep Together options all over the report, but nothing seems to work.
Anybody have other suggestions?
I'm using Crystal Report in Visual Studio (not the stand alone)
What is the result you want to achieve?
The content doesn't fit the page, I suppose.
GroupHeader + Content + GroupFooter can't be printed in a single page, so there's a page with just GroupHeader or one with GroupFooter only.
If you want to divide subreport between pages
I suppose that you have to look at Details Section, removing Keep Together clause to Details, to SubReport and inside SubReport so that details section will be divided, if possible, in the page with GroupHeader and in the page with GroupFooter
If you want GroupHeader and GroupFooter to be printed on any page, also if Subereport doesn't fit
GroupHeader can be repeated on every page ("repeat group footer on each page" in Group Expert), GroupFooter can't.. someone suggest to use Page Footer instead.
I have a subreport which is multiple pages long, but I'm not sure where to put it in the report.
If I put it in a detail section, the report runs for a long time and generates way too much data.
If I put it in the report header, the page footer is not displayed during the subreport and there are about 150 blank pages (well, blank except for the page footer) after the subreport.
Right now, the report consists only of a report header, a page footer and the subreport (which is in the report header), but I will eventually be adding another subreport. The reason I need to use subreports is because I need to have two groups.
Thanks.
I have a subreport and page footer in main report, and i need to hide page footer for the subreport part. Is there any way to achieve this?
Details:
I have main report. It has several detail bands and a page footer. One of detail bands (Detail 4) is filled with data returned from query. After this band goes "Detail 5" band that has only subreport in it, which is the last detail band. My subreport contains several pages of text. I need page footer from my main report not to be shown in this pages. So what I need is: page footer should be applied to pages, that are generated in detail bands 1-4, but not "Detail 5" .
Since the size of your details bands vary (and quite possibly the size of your subreport as well) you cannot be certain about the page numbers that the pages of your sub report will appear on. But that would be necessary knowledge to create a proper print when expression for the footer band to achieve the behavior you want.
In other words: it's most likely not possible to do that.
I am using Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2008. I have about 5 pages worth of static text that needs to appear at the top of my report, so I put it in the report header section. I have a page footer section on the page that shows the page number. This does not show, and I suspect it has something to do with the long report header. How can I make the page footer show with a large report header?
Edit: The Page Footer is actually appearing once on the last page. The Report Header takes up 5 pages and there isn't a page footer on any of those pages.
Can you split static text between many header (sub)sections (in a way that every section has about pageful of text)? May help.
I had exactly the same problem. My report header was very long and the page number only was appearing at last page. The problem was that i had my page number in the Report Footer. Then i realize that i had a Page Footer section and moved the page number there. I also changed the section properties (it had the No Drill down option checked).
Now i have the same big header with the page number on all pages.

Ken Hammady has a solution for crosstabs at
http://kenhamady.com/cru/archives/87
It can be adapted to work with long texts in textboxes.
I moved all of my text from the Report Header to the Report Footer, and the page numbers will print. I will add a subreport to show my detailed data.
