Footer at bottom of last page only in BIRT PDF report [message #685934] Mon, 20 June 2011 20:48 Go to next message

I developed a pdf report in BIRT 2.3.2 and I would like to have Footer only on last page. I tried below script but it works only for report in Web Viewer, I need to generate in PDF format only. I tried the hide visibility option as well but nothing worked.

if(BirtComp.lessThan(pageNumber, totalPage))
{
this.getStyle().display = "NONE";
}

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I just tested this:
if(pageNumber!=totalPage){
this.getStyle().display ="none"
}
with 2.3.2 and it works as long as you are uses two task to create the pdf. A run task then a render task. How are you running the report?

My requirement is just run as PDF, we do not follow the approach to first run in web viewer and then export it to pdf.

Are you using the viewer? or a custom servlet? If you use a custom servlet you can use the api to run task to create a rptdocument and then render it in pdf with a rendertask.

We are using viewer, and viewing report as PDF only.

I did try the onRender script below but it looks like the totalPage variable is not quite right, its showing result same as pageNumber.
if(pageNumber == totalPage)
{
this.text = "END OF REPORT";
}
else this.text = "";

Is there any way I can get the actual totalPage variable for PDF emitter since totalPage is working in HTML.

Are you using the /frameset mapping with __format=pdf?

Is there any way I can get the actual variable name for totalPage, which i can use in script?

Is there any way I can position my END OF REPORT label(In layout) to at the bottom of the page using style sheet. The postion feature is not working inside birt layout.

We are not running reports through web app, can not use frameset mapping. Evetually we will be having a custom servlet where i need to have seperate run and render task, that might be the last option.

Any help, suggestion, opinion will be greatly appreciated.

You could add two computed columns, one that contains current row count and another that has the total number of rows. You could store these values in the oncreate of the table row and check them in you header/footer script. If totalrows-currentrow > pageBreakInterval (for the table) you know you will have more pages.

See attached example.

besides the last post you could try:
set the report to fixed layout (general properties for the report) and put everything in the report in a two row grid and size the grid to your page size.
Put the last page footer in the second row and size it accordingly. Also set align bottom on second row of grid. See attached example.
Also notice I cleared the header and footer height on master page.
