Mike,
Have you looked into the print when conditions for the band properties of
the footer? If you were to know the max number of pages that were to be
generated for the invoice you could pass that as a var to the report and
then just do a print when condition on the calc.pagenumber function so t
That is interesting. I do not have experience with the CFPDF tag, just the
report builder. In combining the signature page, is it smart enough to put it
at the bottom of the page, and only a new page if there is not enough room?

Hi Rob. I have, but I may not be smart enough about this. The number of pages
is totally dynamic. It is an invoice with N number of products with N number of
lines of description per each. I tried using the page number that is evaluated
at the report run time, but that isn't working as a print w
JasperReports is built right into coldfusion.
You can create a jasperreport JRXML file using iReport, and use
createObject to run the report, etc.
I don't do it any more because report generation takes such a toll on
the server, and it's just waay better to have report stuff running

No, you can only add a new page.

Mike,
So how is it passed to the report? Through a Query? Does each product
(item per invoice) have a set number of lines, or does each product take a
single line. If it does, then you could just write a function in the report
that took the number of items passed and divide by the number of ite
Sorry for the delay. We just had a baby on the 11th, and I'm still figuring out
how to juggle the little guy and all other tasks. Yes, it is being passed in
via a query. Each line item has a name, and description field (which is an
unlimited textarea). I have been debating trying to do what you

Congratulations! Children are a joy, but I hope you are prepared for little

Anyways, yes, that was my thought, however I was hoping that you would know
a few more details regarding the line items. If the information is stored

Thanks for your continued help. Yes, each user is able to can the line
descriptions for each line item each time. I could count the characters in the
description. That is certainly an option. It will have to be smart, because the
descriptions can contain newlines as well. It sure is a terrible w
Mike,
I agree it has to be easier.

still looking for how to access it... I haven't found any help yet, but

It does prevent the text from being displayed, but the whitespace is still
present. As far as I can see, there is no way to set that option on the entire
footer, just all of the contents inside the footer.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm happy to try any option!

Yes, it sucks that the option is not available for the entire band. For it to
suppress the footer, you have to set all of the fields' "Remove line when
blank" property to "true" in the footer section. Also if there is blank space
between your fields/lines try adding "dummy" labels with just a

Denny,
I have started to work in JasperReports, can you shoot me an email at your
convenience? I have some questions about the set up for CF and JR to work
together nicely.
Email is first letter first name and full last name at gmail (stupid spam bots).
