Problem with Page Break

Bonjour,
I have a Table, this table contains 3 table-Header and 3 table-Detail.
Each table-Header and its corresponding Table-Detail are visible under a condition. This condition is obtained by a value of a computed column from DataSet.
This configuration allow me to show three kind of presentation data.
For each page break the header must be repetead.
The page break interval property is set to 10 (So i show 10 rows)
The render is a PDF file.
The problem is :
When the 10 rows cannot be displayed on one single page because the total height of lines exceeds the height of the page.
I have all the Table-Headers and the rest of rows which are showed on the next page.
Of course, a solution would be to reduce the number of lines to be shown by page. But, i can not do that. To show 10 lines is already the minimum which I can make.
But, the main problem is that I do not know in priori the height which will take every line.

Have you any idea to correct this problem?

Will you modify the way the pagebreak is done, because the pagebreak interval is not really a good thing, i think this should be done on size of table one can allocate to show the table.

Thanks for your help!
Luis

Hi Luis,

Can you attach screenshots of your issue? Also, what version of BIRT are you using?

Luis

And i can not send you PDF file because limits of attached files are very low.
I send images...i'm sorry.

Bye and thanks

Luis,

So, is the image with the headers the runover onto the second page? And you're only wanting 1 of the 3 header rows to actually show up, correct?

There were some issues with the PDF output/pagebreak in 2.2.2 that have been fixed in 2.3.0 and 2.3.1. If it was possible for you to upgrade, this may solve your problem.

Answer to
first question : Yes, it is
second question :Yes, it is correct.

Thanks for information concerning fixes on new versions.
I will ask my superiors to change to new BIRT version.

Thank you for your help

Bonjour,
I have install the new BIRT version (Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.3.0.v20080606 Build <2.3.0.v20080618-0630).
I have prepared a report in order to verify if page break works correctly...
Well, the file attached show you a kind of report i have to prepare.
If you use the PDF render
Page break does not work correctly. Detail line are showed incompletely. And header row appears at the end of the page without detail rows. Even if i set the page break inside property to AVOID.
If you use the HTML render.
There are no problems. I suppose that occurs because there are not page break generated.
Well, i need absolutly a PDF render. Think you that correction of this problem will be soon on line???
thanks for your help
