can rtf files be edited?

[adosoniu]

Hi,

 

I export a report to rtf and then I need to edit a little the file in Word. The problem is that the report contains frames (on right click Word has an option with Format Frame) and I cannot edit anything outside these frames. I mean I can add a text box and write something into it, but I am interested into adding a new page to the file so to write something on the second page of file.

I know, maybe this is not a JasperReports question, but I am interested if there is an option that the rtf file that is generated contains only formatted text. In this way I suppose will be easy to add a new page.

 

Thank you,

Alin.

Take a look at this feature request, it looks similar to your request. Is it what you need?

Yes, that is something that will be nice to have in rtf file generated by JasperReports.

If I understand correct the change is not easy :(.

For solving my problem I think is enough if I could somehow add a second page to the report (my report has only one page) and then the user can add a textbox and introduce text.

I had a look at "Bands larger than one page" and I will try with this suggestion.

 

Thanks,

Alin.
