Hello,

Please, help.

Thanks,

Hi,

 

Before you can generate a PDF file you have

to fill your compiled report design with data.

And you do that by calling the fillReportXXX()

methods of the dori.jasper.engine.JasperManager

class.

In the sample, there is a batch file available

for the job called taskFill.bat.

 

This operation will produce a .jrprint file

that will contain your ready to print report.

 

To view it you ca use taskView.bat

(dori.jasper.view.JasperViewer class)

or you can generate a PDF file for it using

the taskPrintPDF.bat (printReportToPdfFile

method in dori.jasper.engine.JasperManager).

 

You got the error because you supplied your

compiled report design to the PDF generating

method (the .jasper file), instead of the filled

report (the .jrprint file).

 

Good luck!

Teodor

Version 0.81

 

After downloading the source for JasperReport and iText, I was able to debug my exception.

 

I submitted a bug report to iText for the PdfContentByte.add() method.

 

It is logged as #510813 and #510560

 

It appears that iText has fixed their code.

 

Please review the thread there.

 

Sorry, I should have updated my post yesterday.

What version of iText fixes this?

I downloaded the iText.jar today and had this problem.

Graphic and PdfContentByte in iText

2002-01-31 23:37

 

Hi, Lou,

 

Thank you for identifying the problem.

 

I'll make the appropriate adjustments in JasperReports in order

to eliminate the use of Graphic object since they said that it is

somehow deprecated in iText.

 

Thanks,

Teodor
