Text not wrapping in pdf

2003-05-13 02:55

Hi,

 

When I output my report in PDF, the text doesn't wrap...it just gets cut off.

Anything I can do about this?

It wraps in HTML output.

ALSO

I have strings with "n" characters to display it on a new line within a static text element. It works fine in HTML, but in PDF it only displays the first string...everything after the "n" character is getting left out.

Any ideas?

 

Enrico

This sounds like maybe the fonts are different between the PDF and the HTML with the PDF fonts being a bit bigger and so there isn't room to show the additional line(s) of text. Try increasing the band height or decreasing the PDF font size.

I don't think the size of fonts should make a difference, cos I could use a really small font, but if the text reaches past the end of the column it will just get chopped off.

Here's my code:

JasperDesign jasperDesign = new JasperDesign();

jasperDesign.setName("SubReportDesign"+cnt);

jasperDesign.setPageWidth(842);

jasperDesign.setPageHeight(595);

jasperDesign.setColumnWidth(802);

jasperDesign.setColumnSpacing(0);

jasperDesign.setLeftMargin(0);

jasperDesign.setRightMargin(0);

jasperDesign.setTopMargin(20);

jasperDesign.setBottomMargin(0);

jasperDesign.setWhenNoDataType(JasperDesign.WHEN_NO_DATA_TYPE_ALL_SECTIONS_NO_DETAIL);

 

//Fonts

JRDesignReportFont normalFont = new JRDesignReportFont();

normalFont.setName("Arial_Normal");

normalFont.setDefault(true);

normalFont.setFontName("Arial");

normalFont.setSize(12);

normalFont.setPdfFontName("Helvetica");

normalFont.setPdfEncoding("Cp1252");

normalFont.setPdfEmbedded(false);

jasperDesign.addFont(normalFont);

 

JRDesignReportFont boldFont = new JRDesignReportFont();

boldFont.setName("Arial_Bold");

boldFont.setDefault(false);

boldFont.setFontName("Arial");

boldFont.setSize(12);

boldFont.setBold(true);

boldFont.setPdfFontName("Helvetica-Bold");

boldFont.setPdfEncoding("Cp1252");

boldFont.setPdfEmbedded(false);

jasperDesign.addFont(boldFont);

 

JRDesignReportFont italicFont = new JRDesignReportFont();

italicFont.setName("Arial_Italic");

italicFont.setDefault(false);

italicFont.setFontName("Arial");

italicFont.setSize(12);

italicFont.setItalic(true);

italicFont.setPdfFontName("Helvetica-Oblique");

italicFont.setPdfEncoding("Cp1252");

italicFont.setPdfEmbedded(false);

jasperDesign.addFont(italicFont);

 

//Page Header

JRDesignBand band = new JRDesignBand();

band.setHeight(40);

 

int x = 0;

Am I missing anything?

Hi,

 

You are using static text elements to display

content that in fact is not static. Every time

the text changes inside those "static text"

elements that you have.

 

And the problem is that a static text element

never adapts its size so that the content fits inside.

This is because they should always display

the same thing and the designer should provide

the correct element size at design time.

 

But I think in your case you need to use

<textField> elements, and use isStretchWithOverflow="true" for them, so that

if the content is larger, they adapt their size to it.

 

I hope this helps.
