BIRT New Page Problem

murphymh

I have a report with 2 levels of grouping along with data that varies from 1 to 40 rows.

Due to the way the data is organized I do not know if there will be 1 or more level 1 groupings, along with level 2 and finally detail lines.

It sounds like I'm out of luck, unless someone know a trick on how to keep track of print lines per page versus row counters.

thanks ahead of time for any consideration.

Can you open an issue on Eclipse bugzilla for BIRT and attach your report design?

You can also try out BIRT 2.3 M6 with PDF auto pagination to see if it has what you need.

Thanks for your response but I dont think its a bug, more then a way to do something.

For example, to do a report I have to count the max # of rows that will fit on a page given I "may" have other titles, to whatever on the page.

So for my report, I have 7 as a row counter because there is so much stuff on only a single customer. So this means that most pages have alot of blank lines on then and looks really bad, while 1 page out of 200+ pages actually looks filled.

This seems by designed and I will be greatly appreciated when anything that is printed on a pages is counted as a row against the infamous "Page Break Interval".

Is the desired behavior to output content to the end of a page (by size) instead of using row interval page break to split contents into groups that can fit into a page?<br />
