Dynamic Page Orientation

Vishnupriya

<p>hi,</p><p> Im new to BIRT reporting. I have a requirement where the report will be generated as PDF and the <strong>enduser can select the Page Orientation </strong>of the report through a home grown UI. Once the user selects a list of columns he wants to see in the generated report and Page orienenation of the report, the information is fed from UI to a standalone component that will generate the report using BIRT.</p><p> </p><p>For this, i'm creating common components that can be packed as reusable components across different kinds of reports. While doing so, Im creating a <strong>common Master Page that will be put inside a library </strong>and used later in every rptdesign file. I set the Page Orientation of this Page to a specific setting like 'Letter Landscape' and use it in a report called test.rptdesign and add all report item components in it. <strong>If user chooses to run the report as 'Legal Landscape' how will BIRT engine handle this</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>Will the Master page will be realigned to 'Legal Portrait' and all components shunk/expanded accordingly ?</p><p> </p><p>Is there a way to handle such dynamically changing Page Setup and Orientation in BIRT ?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Thanks,
Vishnupriya</p>
