The file you attached is actually a RAR file renamed to ZIP. Can you send an actual Zip file?

Hi Johnw

I am a little confused by the description. I see that in one instance, the PDF is cutting off the last column and the other instance it is not, but it is shifting the master page header. What did you change in those two instances? Did you just change the the Layout from "Fixed" to "Auto"? In the description it says Auto and Actual, and I'm not sure what you are referring to.

What version of BIRT? It looks like BIRT 2.1.2 for Maximo, but I want to confirm.

Also, can you generate a RPTDOCUMENT file from these test cases and send me that?

Hi John 
 
Thanks for the analysis. Now I have below situation 
 
 
I am having total 80 reports all of them are having the same problem i.e. PDF is cutting off the last column and the some other reports it is shifting the master page header down. 
 
What I understand is the below. 
 
1: All the reports are using different type of orientation as Auto , Landscape and Portable. 
 
2: For few of the reports Page size is custom. 
 
3: Few of the reports are using the different MaximoSystemLibray. 
 
Now What exactly I want to do is as below. 
 
1: I want all the reports to look ok when I export them in PDF format with layout as "Auto" 
2: I Want to use one comman library for all the reports. Which is maximo standard library. 
3: So that I can get the proper out put even if my reports are landscape,portable or custom. 
 
Please help me with how can I acheive the above all three points. 
 
To answer your questions. 
 
1: YES I change the change the Layout from "Fixed" to "Auto" thats why you saw it different. 
2: I am using Birt version 2.1.1 
 
I have one more question Is it ok If I upgrade my MaximoSystemLibray. 
We are using maximo 7116. 
 
Please let me know how can I process in this situation.

Hi

Can you tell me how can I genrate the RPTDOCUMENT.
I have not did it before.

johnw

Yes, you can upgrade the MaximosystemLibrary.

to generate the rptdocument, in Eclipse Birt for Maximo, go to the Run menu, and choose Generate Document.

Thank you very much for the details.

I have two questions can you please answer.

1: How can I remove the line "Birt Report Viewer" on top of my report when ever I print it from HTML, and at the same time on the bottom of the report it prints the full url of the server along with the report name and date?

2: How can I add the direct print button when I saw the report in maximo, without going to the option dailog box where we select the radio button option for HTML and PDF and then automaticaly the print window pop up.

I want this print window to be pop up when I click on the print icon when report run first time,before going to the export option, where we slect the HTML or pdf.

Please let me know if you have any solution.

johnw

1: You can't. This isn't a limitation with BIRT, its a limitation of the browser. You can remove the report name and date at the bottom by modifying the Master Page footer, but the browser will always add in its own header and footer. Its better to print directly to PDF if that is an issue.

2. This would be a customization in Maximo. You could add in a Text element, set the type to HTML, and use the following:

<a href="JavaScript:window.print();">Print this page</a>

but this will print the entire HTML document. Maybe with some javascript trickery you could find the DIV element containing the report, but I don't have anything to do that offhand.
