Controlling page break in PDF when hiding table Detail row

herya

Hi all,

Is there a way to control the page break when generating a PDF file where the Detail row of a table element in that report is hidden (i.e. Visibility sets to false)?

Detail background:

I am trying to control the page break in the resulting PDF file of a report that I have designed. The report itself basically a report that list outs the list of garments barcode number by its color and size (on the Detail row). I have also added a Group row where I display the total count based on color-size category/group.

When calling the report, there is a report parameter (i.e. 'With Detail' parameter) that is passed that will affect the visibility of the Detail row. In effect, this gives the option to generate a 'total count report' or 'detailed list report'.

Both reports are displayed fine if rendered in HTML. However, when I tried to generate the PDF file for the 'total count report', the page break seems to be off (read: seems to still take into account the hidden Detail row).

Any help or insight on this is much appreciated, as I am kinda of a newbie in BIRT.

Regards,
Hery

Hi Hery,

What version of BIRT are you using?
