Pagebreak in doc and odt formats [message #905502]

Hello,

are there any plans on implementing proper page breaks in the doc and odt formats?

There's already a report for this (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=351064) where I tried to get the information, but nobody answered it.

Apperently this feature was planned to be implemented in version 3.7.2, but it still isn't implemented yet.

Could somebody take care of this, or at least tell me, where I can find the corresponding code for pdf files, so that I can try to implement it for doc and odt myself?

Thanks in advance,

Tobias Knell

Are you using the API to run reports?

Ah, sorry I forgot to mention this.
We are using the Java Api to create the Reports.

Then use a run task to generate an rptdocument, Then do a render task
to DOC using the rptdocument.

Hi Jason,

Is there any difference in using the run task first and then the render task with the rptdocument instead of using the RunAndRenderTask (that's how we did it before)?
I just tried it how you stated, but it makes no difference. The PageBreaks we set on the elements in the document are simply ignored for the odt and doc formats.
If we render it in PDF, everything works just fine.

There is a difference. You probably do not have the HTML_PAGINATION option set:

IReportRunnable design = null;
design = engine.openReportDesign("Reports/ordersdoc.rptdesign");
IRunTask task = engine.createRunTask(design);
task.setLocale(new Locale("en", "US"));
task.run("output/resample/ordersdoc.rptdocument");
task.close();

document = engine.openReportDocument("output/resample/ordersdoc.rptdocument");

HTMLRenderOption options = new HTMLRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat("doc");
options.setOutputFileName("output/resample/multipage.doc");
options.setSupportedImageFormats("PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP;SWF;SVG");
options.setOption( IRenderOption.HTML_PAGINATION,Boolean.TRUE );
IRenderTask rtask = engine.createRenderTask(document);
rtask.setLocale(new Locale("en", "US"));
rtask.setRenderOption(options);
rtask.render();
rtask.close();

Thanks, now it works!

We probably have to set a specific font ourselves now instead of "sans serif", so that the pagebreak rendering works for every output type.
And we can't use non-serializable Object types anymore, so we have to work a bit on our templates and data fillings.

But that should be not as much problematic as no proper pagebreaks Very Happy

Thanks again for your help, Jason!
