split JasperPrint into different objects

[asuccar]

Hi,

I need to split JasperPrint into different objects based on the data. Is there a way to do it?

 

Thank you.

Hi you can split your JasperPrint with parsing the elements and export each range of JRPrintPage into different PDFs for example.

I do so to split a multi records datasheet report containing several pages for different serial-numbers intp single PDF files.

So I add an hidden field (textcolor white) in the PageFooter band, for each change of the content of this hidden field I do generate a new PDF. (e.g. the whole JasperPrint object get 50 pages... each serial-number took 2 pages... so I get 25 PDF files. :-)

Hi again,

Thank you for your answer. But how can i tell the exporter to export to a new file when the value of the hidden field changes knowing that it can change in any page.

Is there any sample code?

Thank you .
