text inpt from user

Is there any way to add free text field on the pdf report by using Jasper Report? In another word, user who receives/reviews the pdf report may add sone comments by themselves. Thanks a lot.

Well, you can just add a clear field, like $F{COMMENTS} and send data via your Java app to that field. Something like this one:

 

Code:

public Object getFieldValue(JRField field) throws JRException {
Object value = null;
String fieldName = field.getName();

if ("COMMENTS".equals(fieldName)) {
value = "usertyped text";
			}

 

 

Something like this. I'm new to JR, so don't know if it's correct. But idea is like i mentioned.
