automatic page size

Hi,

I create a table, and the height of each row are not the same because of the length of element (The text will wrap when it is long enough). So, sometimes it is ok when i set page size to 40, but other time 40 is too big, then i will get a page with just a few (less then 5) records. Is there any way to realize automatic page size? Thanks.

Hi Dianbo,

Can you recreate this issue with the sample database and attach it in here? What version of BIRT are you using?

Hi, I mean it will insert a page-break according to the page interval. Look at page 3 of the word document (word output of the attached report). is there any way to insert page-break according to the page usage.

Hi Dianbo,

Try setting the page break interval of the table to 0.

Hi Michael, 
 
When i set the interval to 0, it will load all records in the first page in browser. If the amount of result is too big (hundreds of pages), then browser will very slow or directly down.

Dianbo,

Yes, this will be the case for the html outputs, but for paginated outputs like DOC and PDF, it will work as expected. Unfortunately, the output format is not known until the onRender stage and the page break interval has to be changed in the onPrepare I believe, or else you could change the interval with the following based on output format:

tableContext = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("tableName");
tableContext.setPageBreakInterval(intervalSetting);
