Field over Page-Limit

[dadom110]

Hi together,

is there any chance to allow a TextField to be larger than the size of a page, or to strech the field without page break?

The target: i have a powerpoint export, which will be pre-edited by the user. On the buttom of the page there is a text field which holds text which can be very large. On my "hand-made" export the field growth over the page limit and the user can edit the whole text to fit to page (which is generally allowed in ppt).

In jasper i can't get it working. 1. without strech setting: text is cut off when it does not fit to the field 2. with strech: a new page is added when the text is to long 3. design a "oversize" field is not allowed by jasper generation and cause an excpetion that the field does not fit the band,.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Chris

Not sure i totally understand what you are trying to achieve.

But try the following;

1. On the main report properties tab, check the 'Ignore Pagination' box, this will print the whole report on one page.

2. Inside the bands properties tab try playing with the Split type

Thansk for helping, but can't get it working as expected. The resulting PowerPoint shoud look like this:

(full Text in a field which exceec the page, without create a new page with the exceeding content)
