Document Exporter - Page Content cannot export correctly with FIX Page Footer Margin

jason_tung · June 14, 2013, 6:48am

Dear supports,

I am using the Jasper Report version 4.6.0 and Aspose Word for Jasper latest version.

Jasper reports will generate a page break for second page to split out the page content, however, the exporter seems overlapped the page contents and page footer, thus, the last paragraphs in 1st page will move to NEW PAGE (2nd page) with a lots of blank space, and the original 2nd page now turned to 3rd page.

The following is the parameter setup of the AWDocExporter.

// Define the Jasper Exporter
AWDocExporter _rtfExporter = new AWDocExporter();

_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS, Boolean.FALSE);
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.RECOGNIZE_FIELDS, Boolean.TRUE);
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.LICENSE, getAsposeWordsLic());
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.POSITIONED_STYLE, "EmptyStyle");
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_SPACINGS, Boolean.TRUE);
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.OVERLAP_RESOLUTION_METHOD,AWExporterParameter. OVERLAP_RESOLUTION_METHOD_PUSH_ITEMS);
// generate on the online side
_rtfExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.OUTPUT_STREAM, out);
_rtfExporter.exportReport();

Anyone have same experience on “new unexpected page” generated?
And Do you have any solution to resolve the issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the detail.

I have tested the scenario and have not found any issue with output Doc file.If you export your jrxml to Pdf by using iReports, the position of contents are same. I have attached the output Doc file with this post for your kind reference. Moreover, please use AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS with value True.

exporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS, Boolean.TRUE);

Please check the attached output and let us know if you found any issue.

Hi Tahir,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tested the parameter AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS, it can be generate the document with correct position of contents with value Boolean.TRUE.

Unfortunately, the document cannot be user friendly for editable. When i type some words in the table, some words is missing. I find out that the table do not increase the height automatically, I need to scroll down the bottom line of table to visible the missing words.

For Example:
You can press ENTER in the table of your output doc file, then you will find out that the words is missing.

I set back the AWExporterParameter.USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS to FALSE, the table can scroll the height automatically when type any words or ENTER as my doc.

Do you have any solution to resolve this issue?

tahir.manzoor · July 1, 2013, 7:49am

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your inquiry. While using USE_EXACT_ROW_HEIGHTS with False value, I have noticed the content rendering issue. The text © moves to page number 4 with empty space at same page. I have logged this issue as WORDSJSP-118 in our issue tracking system. I have linked this forum thread to the same issue and you will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Tahir,

We try to find another way which may be provide a quick fix to resolve the issue.

First, we set the page break parameter to none.

jrExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.PAGE_BREAKS, AWExporterParameter.PAGE_BREAKS_NONE);

Then, we need to design the first page of header and footer which is different to other page, therefore, we try to use the Field Code of MS word to handle it.

{IF{PAGE}>"1" "{PAGE}" "Page 1"}

But, the Aspose cannot support the multiple {}, it display as follow.

{IF{PAGE>"1" "{PAGE}" "Page 1"}

Does this issue fix quickly than the past?

Thanks,

Hi Tahir,

Attached the jrxml file.

For the generation, please setup the following parameter.

jrExporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.RECOGNIZE_FIELDS, Boolean.TRUE);

On the other hand, Does aspose word for jasper support { QUOTE 12 }?

Thanks,

Could you please share some more detail about your query along with jrxml file?

*jason_tung:
{IF{PAGE}>“1” “{PAGE}” “Page 1”}

But, the Aspose cannot support the multiple {}, it display as follow.

IF{PAGE>“1” “{PAGE}” “Page 1”}*

Hi All,

I am developer who is working on this issue (WORDSJSP-118). The issue is still under development, but I have found workaround which allows to avoid the issue - to use following config option

exporter.setParameter(AWExporterParameter.SPACING_FACTOR, Double.valueOf(0.8));

Actually this option just makes all spacings between paragraphs/tables a little bit smaller using SPACING_FACTOR as multiplier. For example, if there are 5pt space between some paragraphs - it becomes 4pt etc.

I’ve tried this with your sample document and all seems to be fine (no extra space).

Could you please try this on your side and let us know about results?

Thanks and regards,
Vadim
