I have run into a situation when tried to migrate reports from JasperReports Server (JS) 4.5 to JS 5.5. All reports work fine in JS 4.5 and JS 5.2 without any problem. However, when JS 5.5 is installed on a different server and import reports from JS 4.5. We encountered fonts problem when reports are exported to pdf. The error message is enclosed in the screen cap. Note: All reports are working fine in iReport 5.5.1 and JS 4.5 and JS 5.2

Hi, The ireport 5.5.1 has fixed the missing font problem. However, jasperServer 5.5 has the font problem when exporting output to pdf with the following error message The server has encountered an error. Please excuse the inconvenience. Error Message net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRuntimeException: Could not load the following font : pdfFontName : Helvetica pdfEncoding : Identity-H isPdfEmbedded : true jasperServer 4.5 does not have the problem.

Hello Teodord, Thank you for your reply. I have been looking for this kind of help for a long time since our seminary is phasing out Crystal Report. Now, all reports but one has problem. I did use "isStretchWithOverflow" and "PrintWhenOverFlow" options. In fact, I have find some interesting things today 1. When I run in report in iReport and view the result using JRViewer, it is ok, i.e. the text wrap around and no missing words. Then I saved the output in pdf format, and view it using Acrobat Reader in window. Also, the text wrap around and no missing words. 2. When I copied the JasperReport 3.1.0.jar into the live enviroment and generated the same report to pdf format using JSP. I can not get the right output, i.e. course 418's title has been runcated and no wrap around occurs. Do you have any suggestion, any problems or setting I missed? Waybill

Hello I have a report, Transcript, was original developed using Crystal Report 11, and it works fine. Its design and output is enclosed in Attachment 1. However, when I develop the same report using JasperReport, the same report detail has troubles in displaying mix English and Chinese Characters. Sometimes, it wraps around with no missing characters, but other times, it does not wrap and the rest of report detail is truncated. Please see Attachment 2. I also enclosed an attachment 3. It is a small part of the course table in mySQL databbase containing the course description I employed in the report screen capture. The source code of the report is listed in below. Tech Detail: Linux FC8 jasperreport 3.1.0 ireport 2.0 mysql-connector-java-3.1.14.bin.jar itext-2.0.4.jar itextAsian.jar Can anyone show me to solve this problem?

Hi, I found that I'd the same problem running Jasperreport with output field having mixed English and Chinese characters for a while. My generated jasperreport output in pdf seems to have its ( ' ) disappeared when it is viewed using Acrobat Reader 8.0. However, the same file viewed by Evince in Linux environment does show the ( ' ). It means that the ( ' ) exists in the generated pdf output. Then, I update Acrobat Reader 8.0 to Acrobat 9.2, and the ( ' ) shows up in the pdf output. Note: Using mixed characters (English and Chinese) in the same output field, Jasperreport DOES NOT do a very good job on handling long field wrap around lines. Sometimes, it just truncates some characters till the end instead of wrap around. Waybill Mak Hong Kong

Hi, I have a report, Transcript, created using iReport in Linux environment, showing course title in English and Chinese in the same field. The field reads fields(stored with unicode) from mySQL with font described as Font name MSung-Light Pdf Embedded true Pdf Encoding UniCNS-UCS2-H (Chinese traditional) --- Linux FC8 jasperreport 3.1.0 ireport 2.0 mysql-connector-java-3.1.14.bin.jar itext-2.0.4.jar itextAsian.jar In preview using JViewer, the apostrophe showed in the preview BTCT301 APOLOGETICS IN THE CHURCH'S MINISTRY 護教學與教會事工 A. Then, I write a jsp program to call jaspereport to run the same report in window XP. When I view the pdf using Acrobat Reader 8.0, the apostrophe is missing BTCT301 APOLOGETICS IN THE CHURCH S MINISTRY 護教學與教會事工 B. However, when I copy the same pdf output back to Linux system, and view using Evince, the apostrophe appears. Can you tell me how to solve the problem? Thanks.
