Page Break + Master Page issues

Hi,
I am using BIRT 2.2.2 and I have a CoverPage and DetailPage Masterpage.

Within the layouter I created two grids for the CoverPage and DetailPage Data. If the data fits on one page each (resulting in 2 Pages; one coverpage and one detailpage) my header from CoverPage will be printed on Page 1.

But if my data of the CoverPage has to splitted into two pages, the header of the masterpage "CoverPage" appears only at the second page. The first page has no header. Has someone similar issues and could help me out?

These things I tried already:
(1) Set grid page-break "always" and set masterpage "CoverPage"
(2) Set all subgrids of the layouted CoverPage to (1)
(3) Try to split all subgrids of the layouted CoverPage to single grids with masterpage CoverPage

Best Regards
Alex

Hi Alex,

Is this issue just with the PDF output? Or do you have the same problem with the web viewer as well?

Hi,
I don't use the web viewer yet. I created this BIRT Report with a scripted datasource and convert the pdf file with the report api inside a webmodule. Therefore I "see" only the converted pdf output.

Alex,

Is there any way for you to upgrade your application to include BIRT 2.3.1? There were some page break issues in 2.2.2 that have been fixed in the newer version.

Hi,
I think I can't upgrade to another version because other modules are using version 2.2.2 and I don't want getting classloader issues if I update my module to a newer birt version.

Another questions:
Does the version 2.3.1 works with java 1.4?
And are there known workarounds for that page break issues in version 2.2.2?

Thnx
Alex

EDIT: I have seen that 2.3.1 require at least 1.5. Therefore I could not use this version. Does you have a hint how I can build a workaround to get my pdf in a correct form? Could I split the report into two reports an load them with the report api to one document?

Hi,
I found the issue. The Masterpage had a disabled "show Header on first"-Flag...

Thnx
