Page break not working for PDF

radhikamody

I want to convert an XML into a PDF. I have a grid layout and several tables. I want the data to page break naturally, but all the data just comes on one page and the size shrinks.
If I insert manual pagebreaks it works, but as seen in the output PDF, the group header is too big in a table and it is not going onto the next page.
 
I have set the report layout to fixed. The containers have a width of 100 percent. I am not able to figure this out, anyone has any suggestions?

How are you generating the PDF output?
 
When I generate a PDF output of the report design you have provided, the page breaks are occurring properly and I am not able to replicate the issue displayed within your preview.pdf.

I am using the view report as PDF option.
Are the page breaks occurring naturally for the group header as well?

As it turns out, I had used a slightly newer version of BIRT than the version your report was created with. Looking through the XML of your design, it appears you are using BIRT 2.2.2. Using the BIRT 2.2.2 designer, i am able to replicate this same behavior in PDF output.
 
It appears this is a known issue with the 2.2.2 release and there is a patch available. Take a look at this bug thread for the details and the patch: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223088'>https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223088</a>
