BIRT PDF report : fixed table heigth?

A BIRT report uses an auto-layout engine to optimze the content for the current context. This is designed to make the report look as good as possible regardless of the display/screen. In fact it is intended to minimize if not eliminate the verywhitespace you are trying to preserve.

One thing you could consider doing is to add a second detail row. You can then give this detail row a fixed height and have it consume the remaining whitespace. Alternatively, place a second table in the footer of the Master Page that will render the data you want and bind it to the bottom of the page.

This has the advantage of adhereing tot he bottom of the page regardless of page type (letter, A4, etc...).

Thanks for your answer. I went with the first solution you offered. I also had to make the fixed heigth row visible only after rownum greater than 3 (arbitrary value...) to avoid unwanted page breaks.

Not very nice solution but I can't spend any more time on this... Thanks again for your help. – kiwifrog May 11 '10 at 12:20.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
