I have a table with lots of rows and inside this table I have an another table with 2-20 rows. When generating a PDF file of this it splits some of the table rows into two pages and this looks ugly. Is there a way to make BIRT do a page break after a table row if the next row doesn't fit into the page. Did a bit of investigating and apparently there is no way to do this. Is this feature planned on future releases of BIRT because this is quite important factor when printing PDF:s. IText that BIRT apparently uses for generating PDF:sshould support this. As this is about iText, I want to clarify that there are different ways to use iText. When using high-level objects, we're talking about PdfPTable. As described on p178-179 of the book 'iText in Action', the PdfPTable object has three options: (1) split the table BETWEEN rows (what you desire) (2) cut a row in two parts (what you experience) (3) omit a row that doesn't fit (I don't ever use this, but people asked for this and we implemented it). (1) is the default option; (2) can be set with setSplitLate(false); (3) can be set with setSplitRows(false); When using low level PDF functionality, it's up to the tool (in this case Eclipse/BIRT) to decide if the content is written on the current page, or if a new page is needed. Any way: you have to take into account that some people will WANT to have the row split in two parts, or even throw away a row that doesn't fit the page. So an extra parameter will be needed. br, Bruno Now Birt can not support page-break-inside: avoid, so the Row is split into two parts. Please refer to bug #202106 and bug #168019 Currently user can use the page-break-interval to control the page break, for example each page only contains 20 rows.

In my current tool exist a property which is called Page Protect: Description The Page Protect property indicates whether to try to keep the entire object and its contents on the same logical page. Setting Page Protect to Yes means that if the contents of the object cannot fit on the current logical page, the object and all of its contents will be moved to the next logical page. set wrong dependence (In reply to comment #0) > Report problem in PDF: > > We're testing here in Mexico Birt (Liconsa, S.A. de C.V.) and is wonderful but > we need a very important feature in our reports. > > We need Birt detected when a line no longer fit on the page and therefore you > print it on the next page. > > If somebody can help us, appreciate it infinitely; only needed that to consider > BIRT as our reporting tool ... > > Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! > Hi wei yan: What does it mean set wrong dependence???? In JasperReports exist the property in the band detail "Split Allowed" that meets the required functionality.... Thank You!!! ------- Comment #7 From wei yan 2008-06-26 21:45:08 -0400 [reply] ------- set wrong dependence I just set the bug depends to others wrongly, so I need remove the dependence. It is not related with this issue. Version 2.5, we are talking about 2 years more or less. There will be another way to make it faster? had been supported in 2.5.0M6 User can set page-break-inside: avoid on rows. Can set "page-break-inside: avoid" on rows to avoid page break in row.
