I have to encapsulate header column, detail and page footer bands (column footer is set to 0 height) with borders. Is there an easy way to do it?
I've read this StackOverflow question and I try to use a frame in the background band, but how can I know the exact height of the detail band?
UPDATE: I found myself a solution. The solution is to "trial and error", setting random frame height until I get the exact height.
In the report inspector on the left click on "Detail 1" and then on the right in properties it'll tell you the 'Band Height'...You can change it from there.

I have designed a report using JasperSoft and filling it with it JasperReports.
The structure is simple, a header band, a detail band and a footer band.
The problem is in the detail band.
Inside the detail band, there is a table, populated with data from my Java App and when the table ends, I have to insert a frame section that I call "Comments".
Ok, the problem is the next:
Inside the comments frame, i have 2 frames and between them, I want a blank area to separate them. Depending on the table size, I want that blank space to fit the page, if there's more available space in the page, then the blank gap has to grow to fit.
Also, I need a fixed size for that frames.
When there's no space, I need a page break and maximize the gap size in order to fit the entire page.
I append a image to show the schema.
Thanks in advance.

Hidding the footer on first or last page keep footer space
If you hide the footer on the first or last page, SSRS keep the space for the header but it hide the content.how can i use this space because it effecting my design(some records of table are viewed separately in next page)
thanks in advance
Normally when you hide the Header/Footer the space will be available for you to use
Usually in Report Properties you can set the margins top,bottom to suit your requirements,
and it may be that Report Body and margins need some adjustment.
If all your report elements are within the limits [Width, Height] of Report Body then your report should render fine.
I am currently designing a report using iReport 4.7.0. At the moment I am trying to figure out how to dynamically adjust the height of a textField, if its contents is too big for the initial height. It seems, that the option Stretch on overflow achieves this. But I am having problems with that.
If a textField is not stretched, the spacing before and after the text is good, because its achieved by setting the textField height higher than the font size. But if the textField gets dynamically bigger because the containing text is to long to display with the initial height, the lines seem awfully packed, there is no spacing whatsoever.
I tried so resolve this by setting Spacing before and Spacing after for the specific textField but this seems to end in JasperReports thinking, that the textField doesn't need to re-size at all, even if the text is not fitting.
Is it possible, that the size created by the Spacing before and Spacing after option is taken into account on calculating, if a textField needs to be resized on overflow? Or am I doing something wrong here?
Use padding:
Right-click an element
Select Padding and Borders
-or-
Right-click an element
Select Show Properties
Click the Borders tab
Set padding values as required
This should provide a constant spacing even if box resizes. For complex layouts, experiment with float position of elements, as described here.
I have created PDF report using iReport. PDF output is looking fine, but when I click on print, In Hardcopy (paper) too much empty space at left, right and bottom places. The font size automatically decreased because of this.
How can I fix this issue?
Your page width is set to 800, but your column width is 535. If you only have one column, increase the column width to 760 (800 - 20 right margin - 20 left margin).
Your page height is set to 2,000 and is probably responsible for the extra space at the bottom. Decrease that as desired.
If you are using Jasper Report plugins in Eclipse IDE then
Just right click on the (Design) page of Jasper Report and select 'Page
Format' option.
You will see 'Page Format' window.
Now make changes as you want.
I am creating a jasper report .In that I want apply border to the each page.Can any one provide me some help on this.Border height should depend on the contents height of that page.
Thanks.
You can add a full size rectangle or bordered frame to the background band.
You can do this by creating a frame or a rectangle in an outer report and then put inside it a supreport. The subreport should be allowed to expand as it wants and the rectangle should be set to Stretch to the band height.
