Extra line spacing when using isStretchWithOverflow=true

[andrey_nado]

Hello!

I'm building report with isStretchWithOverflow="true". In most cases it works fine, and height of the report line fits the amount of text data.

But sometimes text field is followed by empty line, the text perfectly fits one line though. I found that when text is exactly as wide as column (no need for wrapping and no space remaining to the right of text), it is followed by empty line.

How can I elimitate this?

Regards,

Andrey

Any replies?

Do you have a concrete example for this?  That would make identifying what actually happens a lot easier.

Please see attached JRXML example. When I render report (in PDF format) with such a field and value, text is rendered in single line, but text element occupies two lines.

This is probably a mismatch between the Java and PDF fonts used by the text field, see this FAQ.

I changed <font> definition to following:

<font fontName="arialbd.ttf" pdfFontName="arialbd.ttf" size="9" isBold="true"/>

As far as I understand, "fontName" attribute links to the font used for report building, and "pdfFontName" is simply the name of the font to be embedded into PDF document. Now these two fonts are identical (refer to the same TFF file). My problem still exists.

I also tried to turn on option net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.force.linebreak.polic and it didn't help. What can I do else?

The fontName attribute needs to contain a name of a font/family available in the JVM, and not the location of the *.ttf file.  Try using fontName="Arial", and make sure that the Arial font is installed and available in Java.
