If i generate the report as PDF, i get one PDF with as many pages as there are rows.

But what i need would be to have as many seperate PDF files as there are rows. Is this possible?

I guess you will have to use JasperReports API for that after generating the filled report (JRPrint-Object).

So the JRExporter has an flag just to export certain pages. So you could read the size of the generated JasperPrintPages and call the JRExporter for each generated JasperPrintPage separately with the current PAGE_INDEX for each single page.

But keep in mind, that for example some streching content could also cause to generate multiple pages even for just one single database record.... so not sure if your report really generates just one page per row/record.. it depend's at your data & report design of course!

This PAGE_INDEX parameter can be used with JasperReports API directly, as C-Box said.

If you are using Jaspersoft Studio, you could set this parameter by clicking on Report Parameters icon in the Parameters section of the Preview area (see attachment image)
