Clubbing multiple reports into a single PDF ?
2005-12-28 22:58
I have a requirment to club the output of three reports and export it to a single PDF file. All the 3 reports have different layouts, headers and footers, so i am not able to put them into sub reports.
Is there any way to combine the output and export into a single pdf?
Thanks In Advance

You cannot do that directly in JasperReports. Perhaps you can accomplish it by using a PDF manipulation library like iText (JR uses iText to generate PDF reports).

Of course it's possible... we do so, to print multiple (different) docs that are logical linked together in our ERP-System to get just ONE PDF (e.g. for eMail output)....
here my way:
1.) create a new JasperPrint Object (give it a name like "mergedDocs")
2.) loop through all your filled JasperPrints
3.) for each JasperPrint get each page
4.) add each Page to the JasperPrint Object (you have created in point 1)
5.) add each used font (if different fonts exists) to the JasperPrint Object. (note... the "getFontsList is deprecated since 1.0.1 --> use getStyles for new version)
6.) return that merged JasperPrint (that contains ALL pages of ALL single JasperPrints).
7.) export that JasperPrint to a single PDF.
that's all!
Works great for me... (just the orienatation could make trouble - if differently, or differnt PaperSizes -> but in my case it's always the same.... so perhaps it doesn't interest you also!?!)
