Multiple Reports into One Book

2006-02-15 16:17

I need to spool multiple, different reports, into one PDF and have the page numbers work. Looks like the JasperExportManager has no such support so I probably have to just gen a PDF for each report, then use iText to string them all together and renumber them.

 

As the Democrats would say, is there a better way?

There is always a better way.

 

What's better for one isn't always better for another tho, and thus the difficulties.

 

Without more info about your situation, I can't say, but there have been plenty of suggestions on concatonating pdfs, designs, etc. on this forum in the past, maybe search through it a little and see what other people have come up with, and let us know what worked for you.

I spooled each page out to a JasperPrint object, then used the mechanism documented here for passing a list to the exporter. Fixing up the page numbers was easy: I added a PAGE_OFFSET variable and just increment that after creating each print object. Simple. Works well.
