genreport -m render split pdf file [message #494483]

I have a report about 4 pages long.
Using genreport -f pdf -o output.pdf test.rptdesign
it generates a single pdf file.

However, if I split run and render.

genreport -m run test.rptdesign
genreport -m render -f pdf -o output.pdf test.rptdocument

It splits the output to 3 files.
output_1.pdf
output_2.pdf
output_3.pdf

Any idea?

Yes the code is setup render a pdf per page:

if ( pageNumber <= 0 )
{
int extPos = targetFile.lastIndexOf( '.' );
assert extPos != -1;
String pathName = targetFile.substring( 0, extPos );
String extName = targetFile.substring( extPos );
long pageCount = document.getPageCount( );
if ( pageCount == 1 )
{
options.setOutputFileName( targetFile );
task.setPageNumber( 1 ); //$NON-NLS-1$
task.render( );
}
else
{
for ( long i = 1; i <= pageCount; i++ )
{
String fileName = pathName + '_' + ( i ) + extName;
options.setOutputFileName( fileName );
task.setPageNumber( i );
task.render( );
}
}
}

You could change the ReportRunner class to use task.setPageRange instead
of task.setPageNumber. Or you could write your own RE API class to run
it how you want.

I've just opened up an enhancement request to make this file-per-page behavior an option. I see that new users can't post links, so add https in front of this:
