RTF export and editable tables in MS Word

[pawelg]

Hi,

 

I've got a question related to RTF files generated from JasperReports.

 

Is there any possibility to create JasperReport template in such way, that tables, after report being executed and exported to RTF, will be editable in a tool such as MS Word? By "editable" i mean adding new rows, changing their width and height.

 

Now, we get something looking like text fields positioned on page, surrounded by lines. But it does not meet our "editable" expectations... Because it's not a real RTF table. :(

 

But we would like to know, wheather it's JasperReports problem, or we're designing our reports in a wrong way.

 

Did anyone had similiar problem? Thanks for any answers.

Hi,

 

This was requested before and we attempting solving it, but it proved costly and probably not effective.

Here are the details of this request:

We made recent improvements to the RTF exporter, but I'm not sure it behaves like you want, as we still not use RTF tables.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Hi,

We have released Aspose.Words for JasperReports, the unique product that allows to export reports to Microsoft Word formats (DOC, DOCX) and more (HTML, TXT). The Microsoft Word documents produced by Aspose.Words for JasperReports contains "normal" paragraphs and tables and are easy to further edit. Hopefully this exactly satisfies your needs,
