Baltz - kcbaltz How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-26 12:57When I try to print my report, the printer thinks it's in A4 format. How can I switch it to Letter? Someone mentioned the 'printservice' example and that looks like it might work, but I can't find a way to get it to print something other than a file. I.e. I'd like to pass it a JasperPrint object so I don't have to have a temporary file. By: Albert L. - looks RE: How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-27 01:28You need to change the pageWidth and pageHeight attributes. The default is for A4 setting. To safe retyping, this java source is taken from iText, and should have all common values to use for these attributes. /* * $Id: PageSize.java,v 1.26 2002/06/20 13:30:24 blowagie Exp $ * $Name: $ * * Copyright 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 by Bruno Lowagie. * * The contents of this file are subject to the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 * (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. * You may obtain a copy of the License at http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/ * * Software distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" basis, * WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.

Baltz - kcbaltz RE: How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-27 10:16Thanks, that did it. I'm surprised that I had to set the H, W programmatically rather than changing the attributes in my XML file. I tried changing pageHeight and pageWidth in <jasperReport> first, but that didn't help. It was only when I used JasperPrint.setPageHeight/Width that it worked. By: Albert L. - looks RE: How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-27 11:23I think you need not set the H and W programmatically. Did you re-compile the XML after setting the pageHeigth and pageWidth in <jasperReport> ? By: K.C. Baltz - kcbaltz RE: How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-27 11:42I did recompile. I just tested it again. Here's how I'm printing: InputStream is; ... JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport( is, parameters, new StatGenJRDataSource( jTable1.getModel() ) ); _viewer = new JasperViewer( print ); _viewer.show(); I click the print button in the JasperViewer to print the page. By: Albert L. - looks RE: How do I select Letter instead of A4? 2002-11-27 23:49Try this empty XML page, changing the pageWidth / pageHeight and run the test program. You should see the blank page size difference. Maybe set pageHeight of 800, then 400. I'm just using an empty data source for the example. -----------------myreport.xml----------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE jasperReport PUBLIC "-//JasperReports//DTD Report Design//EN" "http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/dtds/jasperreport.dtd"> <jasperReport name="myreport" columnCount="1" pageWidth="595" pageHeight="800" orientation="Portrait" whenNoDataType="NoPages" columnWidth="555" columnSpacing="0" leftMargin="20" rightMargin="20" topMargin="30" bottomMargin="40" isTitleNewPage="false" isSummaryNewPage="false"> <title> <band height="0" /> </title> <pageHeader> <band height="0" /> </pageHeader> <columnHeader> <band height="0" /> </columnHeader> <detail> <band height="0" /> </detail> <columnFooter> <band height="0" /> </columnFooter> <pageFooter> <band height="0" /> </pageFooter> <summary> <band height="0" /> </summary> </jasperReport> ---------TestReport.java------------ import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; import dori.jasper.engine.*; import dori.jasper.view.*; public class TestReport { String report = "myreport"; public static void main( String[] para ) { System.setProperty( "org.xml.sax.driver", "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" ); TestReport test = new TestReport(); if ( test.compile()) { if ( test.fill()) { test.view( true ); } } } public boolean compile() { boolean pass = true; System.out.println( "compile" ); try { JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile( report + ".xml" ); } catch ( Exception x ) { pass = false; System.out.println( x ); } finally { return pass; } } public boolean fill() { boolean pass = true; System.out.println( "fill" ); try { JasperFillManager.fillReportToFile( report + ".jasper", null, new JREmptyDataSource()); } catch (JRException e) { pass = false; e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { pass = false; e.printStackTrace(); } finally { return pass; } } /** * pass true to call System.exit() when window closed. * pass false, to continue swing operation after window closed. */ public boolean view( boolean sysExit ) { boolean pass = true; System.out.println( "view" ); try { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); if ( sysExit ) { frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) { System.exit(0); } }); } JRViewer view = new JRViewer( report + ".jrprint", false ); frame.getContentPane().add( view ); frame.pack(); frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null ); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE ); frame.setVisible( true ); } catch ( Exception x ) { pass = false; System.out.println( x ); } finally { return pass; } } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
