Hello,
we have simple report with content in simple master page's header and
footer. We need to show that content only on first page of report. On the
following pages it should be hidden.
I haven't found any way to do it. Is there a way how this can be
accomplished?
Thanks
Ludevik

Jason,
the problem is that we dont have only one big table in report. We have
multiple text items followed by two tables and after them some more text
items. It is a company letter - using header and footer, at the top is
address, then some texting followed by tables, and signature at the end.
The client wants to have company letter header and footer only on first
page.
Tables have page break interval set to 40. Usually the tables contains
only few rows, but still some items are on the second page. These tables
could also contain more rows, so we dont know how set the page break
interval, because the first 3 rows could fit into first page, and other
100 should break on following pages.

Ludovit,
Do you have any idea what items will be processed for the first page?
If you do you can always write a page break into a row of a table.
I have done this in the past based on a column value for example:
//oncreate for table row
var rowcount = this.getRowData().getColumnValue("rwc");
if( rowcount%15 == 0 ){
this.getStyle().pageBreakAfter = "Always";
}

Jason,
we finally made what we needed based on your proposal. Unfortunately this
is working only for PDF format, as there is problem with headers and
footers in DOC format. I don't know if it is possible to generate
different headers/footers also for Doc format through BIRT.
In office 2003 there's option to set different header/footer for first
page, and different for the rest of document, this would be nice if it
were implemented also in BIRT.

Have you logged a bug for this?
Also you can have different master pages and set the one you want based
on the output format, but this method only works if regenerate the
report for the specific format. Ie it does not work exporting the same
rptdocument to different formats. The rptdocument has to be recreated.
