Make sure there aren't any extra white spaces below the subreport element on main report.

Just add page break element, between the subreport elements on the master report. I dont know about the latest version, but 3.0 had page break elements

The jrxml file can really help others understand and solve your problem!

I've been able to generate a table of content with page numbers in the master report. See if this post can help: http://jasperforge.org/plugins/espforum/view.php?group_id=83&forumid=101&topicid=57374 If your requirements are the same as mine and if you face any issues, just reply and I'll elaborate more on the approach I've used .

I am also facing the same issue. When testing on Windows the output PDF report is coming fine with proper spacing and complete text. But when the application is deployed onto Linux, the output pdf report has text being cut off in many fields( Overflow of Text Fields is a possibility, so I can not give a fixed size Text field). I am using Courier font. I've also tried to use the courier font(in pdffontname) from a different location than the system font directory so that on Linux also I have the same font with which the PDF is being generated. But still the results are different on Linux and on Windows. Can someone help me with the possible causes for this?

I've finally been able to work this out. I made two scriptlet classes- one for main report and one for sub reports. I made one bean class as a holder for the data. I declared a variable with the type as bean class and passed that as a parameter to the subreports. Then using the sciptlets i retieved the data and manipulated it, and was able to successfully generate the TOC :)

Thanks for the reply uli. I wish that my problem was just displaying page numbers. :) I need the page numbers in the subreports, to be able to map key elements in the subreports with their actual page numbers. With this map, I wanted to generate the Table of Contents with page numbers and key elements. If you can suggest any other method for capturing page numbers in subreports, or for generation of the table of contents, it will really help me. I am not able to figure out any other way.

any suggestion would be of great help. I am stuck.

Hi I have a main report which contains multiple subreports in its detail band. These subreports cause the main PDF output to be of multiple pages. I need to capture the current page number in the subreports. For this I passed a parameter(MAIN_PGNUM) to the subreport with its expression being $V{PAGE_NUMBER}. The problem that I am facing is, in the subreport the parameter MAIN_PGNUM always takes a value of 1, irrespective of the current page number from where the subreport is being called. I beleive the problem is with the evaluation time of the variable $V{PAGE_NUMBER} before it is being passed to the subreport. If I use a Text Field in detail band of Main Report, with expression (""+$V{PAGE_NUMBER}) and evaluation time as 'Now ', I get output as 1 on PDF. But if I use evaluation time as Page(or if I use the text field in header or footer Band), I get the correct page number as output. So, is there any way to change evaluation time of variable before it is being passed onto subreport? I know that if I use the subreport in the summary band, I can get the correct page number passed. But because of the layout and design for final output, I need to have the subreports in the detail band. P.S.: To give an insight, I need to create a TOC with page numbers. For this I was thinking about adding to a map, the key element and its corresponding actual Page number on the PDF. As the key elements are a part of subreports, I need to have the actual page number in subreport to be able to add it to the map. With this map, I would then generate TOC with page numbers. Any suggesstions about other approaches for creating TOC are welcome. Post Edited by alcoholic at 05/27/2009 15:00 Post Edited by alcoholic at 05/27/2009 15:04
