Print to PDF

Hi all
We have a problem with a report that needs to have some dynamic wide columns depending on parameters.
For example If we choose 'Retailer Name' we want that column to be 2.5 inches wide.
So to accomplish that we have some scripting onrender for that field.

Seems to work but the numbers of rows printed do not fill the page, there is a huge blank space between the last line printed and the footer page.If we print the report to PDF same thing happens.
We are using fixed layout.Looks

Thanks for any tip

Hi Julio,<br />
<br />
Did you set your pache break interval of your table (its default set to 40)? If so maybe tweak with that its the amount of rows BIRT alouwes before page breaking (even if you had a page break becouse of not fittin on the printed media).<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope this Helps.
