Page Breaks within Nested Tables and Grids when Importing into PDF

rmendonsa

I have a report with nested tables and grids.
The report page breaks inconsistently when exporting to pdf.
The BIRT version I am using is 2.3.2.
Is there a way to fix this issue?

Used the following code in the "beforeFactory" method of the report,but, it did not resolve the issue.

// Remove page break intervals from PDF output
if ( (reportContext.getParameterValue("usepagebreaks") == "false")|| reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "pdf" ) {
// Give each table in the report a name, and add the names to the list below, e.g. ["mainTable", "childTable1"]
var tableListing = ["mainTable"];
for each(var tableName in tableListing) {
var table = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement(tableName)
if (table != null)
{
table.setProperty("pageBreakInterval", 0);
}
}
}

Can you recreate the issue with the sample database and attach the report in here, so I can test on it? Thanks!

I have attached the report design file as well as a copy of the .pdf output. Any help is highly appreciated. Tried a few different thing to no avail. Thanks.

Have you tried setting the pageBreakInterval of the most outer table to 0? That might help some. Give it a try and let me know. If you could recreate this issue with the sample database so that I can run it, I can do more testing.

Hi Michael,

I did try setting the pageBreakInterval of the outer most table to 0. That did not help. In my previous thread I included the report design file with demo data as well as a .pdf of the output where te page breaking was inconsistent. If for some reason you do not see it or can't get to it, please let me know and I will resend it.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

In your last thread? Or you last post in this thread? In your last post in this thread, I see the design and the pdf output, but the dataSource used is a Maximo dataSource, not one I can use. Maybe I'm missing something. If in another forum thread, please point me to that. Thanks!
