Strange line breaks

[abtrapp]

Hi!

When I create a report, compile it in Java and create a PDF in a static text or textfield (that is more than long enought):

• text "XXX" is rendered "XX (newline) X"
• text "XXXX" is rendered "XXX (newline) X"
• text "XXXXX" is rendered "XXXX (newline) X"
• text "XXXXXX" is rendered "XXXXX (newline) X"
• text "aaaaa" is rendered "aaaa (newline) a"
• text "Hugo Boss" is rendered "Hugo Boss"

I am using Jasper Reports 4.0.2 / iReport 4.0.2 on OS X Snow Leopard.

This occures in the PDF preview from OS X and Adobe Acrobat Reader, the iReport preview shows the text correct...

I can't force all customers to use the internal iReport renderer, so is there any way to produce correct PDFs???

 

Anybody any idea???

Thank you very much in advance!

Regards,

Anton Trapp

This is something else that also started happening to me with version 4.0.2. Was not a problem with 4.0.1. In my case, what was rendered as:

"Page X of Y" where "Page X of" was a right justified field and "Y" was an adjacent left justified field, is now rendered as follows no matter how wide or separated I made these two fields:

 

"Page X of
                  Y"

 Cool. Thank you. Maybe I am blind, but where can I download the 4.0.1?

 everything on sourceforge, stupid me :)

 I've had the same problem in the past week and posted a similar question.

A work around I found that helps is adding a blank space at the end of the field, see the code below I put in for "Text Field Expression".  Seems to help.

Code:

$F{MUNICIPALITY} + "  "

I "upgraded" to 4.0.1 - problem gone.
