I am not sure of an exporter which exports directly to jpeg, gif etc. But if you export to pdf, there are many ways to convert to an image file. Although pdf itself is a pretty universal format. You can always print-screen the jrxml file in a text editor of your choosing to capture that text. Hth, RobinI mean mean export my report to a jpeg. I found this tool called ImageMagick which runs a command line function to convert files.but will this help me? this is wat i found - In my program, I start a minimized command prompt and need to wait until the process is finished. This can be done like this: System.out.println("invoking convert..."); Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start /wait /MIN c:\ImageMagick2\convert test1.pdf toto.jpg"); try { proc.waitFor(); } catch (InterruptedException intex) { } System.out.println("done convert..."); pls reply asap....
