Hello,
My XML is
<MAIN>
<GROUP1>
<TO_ADDRESS></TO_ADDRESS>
<FROM_ADDRESS></FROM_ADDRESS>
<SUB_GROUP1>
<Detail1></Detail1>
<Detail2></Detail2>
<Detail3></Detail3>
</SUB_GROUP1>
<SUB_GROUP2>
<Detail1></Detail1>
<Detail2></Detail2>
<Detail3></Detail3>
</SUB_GROUP2>
</GROUP1>

<GROUP2>
<TO_ADDRESS></TO_ADDRESS>
<FROM_ADDRESS></FROM_ADDRESS>
<SUB_GROUP1>
<Detail1></Detail1>
<Detail2></Detail2>
<Detail3></Detail3>
</SUB_GROUP1>
<SUB_GROUP2>
<Detail1></Detail1>
<Detail2></Detail2>
<Detail3></Detail3>
</SUB_GROUP2>
</GROUP2>
</MAIN>

For Every GROUP element , i need to create a new PDF file.
and for every SUBGROUP element I need a new page in same PDF.

I could get separate PDF files for every GROUP, but i dont know how to create new Page for every SUBGROUP.

Can you please let me know how to do this.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things, but once you've created your report layout, you can set the pagebreakafter for your subgroup to be always. This would force a page break at the end of every subgroup. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Can you attach an actual dummy xml file and a report that uses it that I can run and modify?

From the looks of your design, you'll need to make a few changes to get what you're wanting. First, you'll need an outer table based on the Client Info data set. This will allow you to display all of your clients' data. With only a single row for each client, you'd just need to drop your existing structure into the detail row. It would be better however to restructure your report to have embedded tables bound to things like bank info, etc. and include the client name/id as a field in each sub data set so that you can filter the results by only the current client in the outer table. I'll try to create a much simpler version of what I'm talking about (using your data) and attach it when done.

I went ahead and just tried modifying your report that you attached. Take a look. I replaced your individually bound data elements with embedded tables for each section. I added the outer table to run each client. I added the client id binding to each data set and used that as a value to filter on to only get the appropriate values for each client. Let me know if you have questions.

Well, welcome to the BIRT community. You'll also find forums, guides, and examples over on the BIRT Developer Center, if you haven't run across it, yet.
