Set your page break interval to 0 on your table for the viewer or just run in HTML output. For PDF, you'd have to have a page size that would fit your entire report on it to avoid a page break there.

I tried giving Page Break Interval to 0 but it's still not giving in one page.

Any Idea what I am missing?

Thank you,

With a page break interval of 0, you don't only get one page in HTML and the viewer? As I said, PDF will have to have a page size big enough to fit all of the data.

I set the Page Interval to 0 to get one HTML page this is not for PDF.

I ma sorry for the late reply.

It's not solved yet. I have made Page Interval to 0 but it's still showing in multiple pages.

It shouldn't in HTML. It will in PDF though until you go to the master page tab below the design window, go to the general tab of the property editor, select "custom" as the type, and change the height and width values to be a size that will fit the entire report.

I tried on couple of reports and the intresting thing is avoiding the page break is working on one report but not on other reports. I can't give custom type for all the reports bec's some of my reports are dynamically generated result. It might come 1 to 20 pages based on the result.

Am i missing something here are it it a bug?

You may be able to set the size of the page based on your resultSet size. I'll have to look into this. To fit all of your data on a single page in PDF and for the data to be printed in a normal size, you'd have to size the page to fit all the data. Setting the page break interval to 0 doesn't affect the page size. There is a fittopage parameter you can set to true in your URL when you've deployed the report. I believe this still works in recent versions of BIRT, I haven't looked in a while, but it fit the entire report into a page, but did not increase the page size to do so, it decreased the report display size.
