JasperReports. Wrong layout in generated PDF report with two tables - jasper-reports

During PDf generation in Jasper, I have 2 bands having table in each, if data display of table1 ends in 90% of a page in PDF, then data display of table 2 display starts, where the table column header cannot be able to print within that page, so it prints only the border line of the table in that balance 10% of the page, but it normally prints the same data in next page. Here the problem is, it should not print the border of the table in first page if the actual data containing in that table cell cant able to print it within that page. This looks like some junk printing in the PDF. Please help.

For the group which holds Table 2, set the minHeightToStartNewPage, as per your requirements (maybe something like 100 or 200, for an A4 layout).

How to split table when page overflow?

I am displaying data, using two nested tables in order to put the text in the middle of the category.
The "Fonction" is in the detail band, with a table displaying the "Modele" values. To put these values in the middle I put a second table in the first one, to print "Ligne", "Taille"...
"Modele" can gather multiple "Ligne", which can be gathered by "Fonction":
This is working fine, until a three lines table reaches the end of page. There, it does not split, and is diplayed on the next page :
How can I split this table to prevent getting a blank line?
I managed to get this working by using a crosstab with row groups for the first three columns, and the other fields are put in the detail box
You must put these fields into mesures to be able to use them in the crosstab.

SSRS Double row headers and data display for printing

** I'm using SSRS2008 R2
I have a report that the users would like to see in a printable pdf.
Problem is there are several columns, potentially too many to fit on a printed 8.5x11 paper.
One of the concepts they suggested was a stacked header/data display, like breaking the columns into 2 rows, so 2 rows of data (for John and Bill) would look like this:
NAME START_DATE STATE COMPANY
ACCOUNT BALANCE END_DATE
-------------------------------------------------------
John 1/20/2016 NY GE
10076 $100.00 2/20/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
Bill 5/13/2016 MA Netflix
00013 $150.00 12/31/2016
-------------------------------------------------------
This leads me to 2 questions:
Is there a way to do this with a tablix?
AND/OR in addition, is there a way to set a default property on the report so when the report is exported to pdf and to print, that it defaults to fit all columns on one page (therefor shrinking the font size to fit on page?)
For anyone that cares - Apparently this can easily be achieved by dragging a Tablix onto the work area, right clicking the header row, adding a new row underneath (basically becomes header row 2), then do the same thing to the details row - however make sure to insert row - Inside group. That allows you to have stacked header and data rows and you can copy / paste headers and row values in whichever row you'd prefer.
it will work if you make all the columns on the same height not unequal. If all the columns has same height, then while exporting to pdf/excel and print it will come in the same page.

Best way to place some data directly below the "Detail 1 Bar" in jasper reports

I'm designing a report template using iReport tool.
The requirement is simply to have a table full of data and at the end (just after the last row of data) displaying the totals of that data.
So far I designed like below.
But I still don't know whether it's correct to put those data in Column footer or not.
And I'm using isIgnorePagination="true" so there won't be any pages but a single page of data with large amount of data records.
Is there any way I can have the pagination back. I can't remove the isIgnorePagination="true" because then there will be a gap between Detail Bar and Column Footer if there is less data to display and if there are multiple pages that column footer data will display for each page. (I need that totals to display just after the table data)
Is there any way to achieve this.
Usually the column footer will be set directly over the page footer, as you have seen.
The option Float Column Footer, if set to true, will let the column footer float directly under the detail bar and not anchored over the page footer (see more here).

Display table data inside detail band

I'm using ireport designer 5.6.0. I'm trying to display data using table and in page header display number of pages. I found videos on youtube with examples where they put table inside Detail band and generate report,but it's not working for me, it's like in some loop only displaying "Generating report".
When I try to move table in some other band (page footer/header or summary), table is displayer, but page number is only displayed once instead for every page of report.
Is it posible in this version put table in detail band? Or should I maybe create subreport with table in it and put that inside detail band, so that page number would be displayed correctly?
Basically detail band will be displayed only when the main dataset query returns rows greater than one. I came to know from your question that there is no query for the main dataset. Also if the main dataset query returns 5 rows, then your table will be displayed or repeated 5 times. Make sure your main dataset query returns only row.
Also have a look at the problem due to the table component in detail band

Jasper Reports - How to group elements with a table so they only print if at least one row of the table has

I'm just wondering how I can set Jasper up with something along the lines of...
"Print this stuff first, BUT only if the subsequent table at least starts on the same page"
Note: "Title" and "Summary" aren't jasper title / summary bands. But just text that describes the data in the table.
This next picture is what I want to avoid:
I've tried placing everything in the same band and setting split to prevent, but I do want the table to split immediately. It would sometimes do this (even though there was enough room for the text, and some of the table):
