Is there any setting in BIRT to always render even number of pages

<p>You could add a label to the footer of the table, check the page number in the onCreate of the label. If it's an odd number, you can set the page break after to always. That should do it. Let me know if you have problems with this.</p>

<p>Thanks Michael for your reply.</p><p> </p><p>Instead of adding the label to footer of table, I added it as the last element of the report design and instead of checking the page number value in onCreate of the label, I did so in the visibility rule and set the page break before to always.</p><p>This worked for me as expected.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Radhe</p>

<p>Michael, the workaround that I tried is not working fine as I said before. Actually, I don't only need blank page but a blank information text on that page.</p><p>I have attached the rptdesign for reference. By doing this, The text box is displayed for even as well as odd pages. What I need is the text box should be printed only if all prior content fits to odd pages so as to make the resultant of even pages.</p><p> </p><p>Note: I'm using BIRT 2.6.2 RunAndRender task. And every time I get the value of pageNumber as "1".</p><p> </p><p>Kindly help me on this.</p>

<p>If you run to the web viewer and export to PDF, it returns just two pages as desired. If using a url, you'd simply use the frameset mapping and the URL parameter format=pdf.</p>

<p>Hy there. </p><p> </p><p>I'm trying to do the same thing (every time get an EVEN number of pages). I'm using Birt 4.2 and still can't get this to work when generating as PDF.</p><p> </p><p>Is there any other way of getting the result?</p><p> </p><p>Many Thanks!</p>
