When I save the XML file in iReport, all comments are deleted.
How can I include (or preserve) comments in JRXML files?
There is no way to preserve comments; you'd have to log a bug against iReport.
You can work around the issue by using callouts:
<property
name="ireport.callouts"
value="##Fri Nov 12 23:12:35 GMT-03:00 2010\\ncallouts.1.text=Hello World!\\ncallouts.1.bounds=294,80,181,73"/>
If you can't save comments you an use CallOut component form the iReport, With CallOut you can write a comment. It's not a perfect solution but can help a lot in a case you want comments on raw report
Its V3.7+ feature, more details on-

I am using Jasper soft 6.3.1 and Jasperserver 6.3.0.
I am generating a report book using Jasper.
When I export report book into .docx report, this word file contains grid. Its not like normal document.
How I can download docx like normal ms word document?
Is there any alternative?
Do I need to go for Aspose.com solution, if yes, then how ?
Jasper will always export an docx-output in a table/grid structure. Unfortunately there is no other way.
You can achieve your requirements using Aspose.Words for JasperReports. The output document will be according to the elements of your report. Please read the documentation of Aspose.Words for JasperReports. I work with Aspose as Developer evangelist.
Yes, you will need to use a 3rd party library to achieve this. Aspose.Words or any other similar library would do the trick but I strongly suggest that you first take a look at this library that allows you to create a template in MS Word, with all the necessary formatting and placehoders for the data. At runtime this template is filled with data. You can then choose the output format in .docx, .pdf or .xps format.
// Instancing report engine, by assigning the data source
DocumentGenerator dg = new DocumentGenerator(DataAccess.GetOrderById(7));
// Generating report by specifying the report template and the resulting report (as file paths)
dg.GenerateDocument("example.docx", "example_output.docx");
I can't find any help online with my problem maybe due to that I don't know the exact keywords to use but hear me out.
Here is the screen shot of my report format...
The actual report result appears like this...
The next item appears beside (right side) the first result. I want it to appear below instead like this...
How do I achieve this? Just comment any additional information that is needed.
BTW, I am using visual studio 2013 (Seems like it matters).
UPDATE:
This is the report format that I want to copy. The headers are not important just the body of the report. Thanks!
Try to use grouping go to this link hope this gives you a clue thanks
Finally found out what's wrong. I removed the column groupings and added only a parent row group. Then I added all needed rows and columns inside the group. It was fairly easy once I found out the problem.
Here's the output of my report.
Thanks guys!
Background:
I have a report with a large dataset on a crosstab element. The report will only cater to spreadsheet format so the width of the report will not matter.
I have tried setting the Ignore Pagination property to true. Split Type to prevent but some of the data still breaks and moves on the bottom of the sheet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I found the solution to my problem. I was using iReport 3.7.4 and there was a bug in the UI. Apparently the crostabs property ignoreWidth="true" was showing as ticked in the UI but it was actually missing from the xml. You can locate this property in the crosstab tag as shown below:
<crosstab ignoreWidth="true">
...
</crosstab>
The fields or textFieldExpression within the Frame element block doesn't get exported. I am trying with the CSV Metadata Exporter.
Is there any work-around available or any properties that I can define in order to export to csv?
When I remove the frame element then everything gets exported, I looked in Jasper community to see if there are any bug report already about this, but there are none. So I have created a bug report there. There are no replies yet and don't think I would be getting any reply soon.
Any help would be appreciated!
I want to add some text (from a formula) to my crystal report.
the thing is: I want this text only to be visible if I export the report to HTML for instance.
I don't want to see the text if I print the report.
Can it be done?
bye Juergen
Short answer: no. Crystal Reports, even v2008, doesn't have a mechanism to distinguish when it is being printed.
You could use a parameter field to set the field's visibility, but this will be a manual process.
You might be able to write a user-function library (UFL) to use the Windows API to determine the state of the document and return it to the report. The challenge would be to 1) find an API that can determine a document's print state 2) determine the report's 'handle'. I would go the c/c++ route for building such a UFL.
I don't think it's possible. The simplest way around your issue is to make 2 different versions of your CR report, 1 for HTML and 1 for printing.
A little redundant, yes, but it gets the job done.
