I have developed a BIRT report and need to export the output as PDF and as an Excel Spreadsheet. I am looking a solution to wrap data in PDF report exported from BIRT. A text gets truncated in the PDF, if it does not have spaces as soon as it exceeds the available width of the column.
e.g. phone number getting truncated
I would like to know if there is a solution without the need for adding a custom code as provided in How to wrap column data in birt report. This solution adds whitespace to the data which is not desirable when the report is exported to an excel spreadsheet. In essence, this solution manipulates the data which isn't the right thing to do.
I have tried using the Whitespace auto option but that does not work.
I am using BIRT version 4.12.
I was able to figure out the solution for getting the text wrapped in the PDF export. Made use of IPDFRenderOption.PDF_WORDBREAK for the same.
PDFRenderOption pdfOptions = new PDFRenderOption();
pdfOptions.setOutputFileName("T:/temp/filename.pdf");
pdfOptions.setOutputFormat("pdf");
pdfOptions.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_WORDBREAK, true);
task.setRenderOption(pdfOptions);
task.run();

I need to create a TOC on a report that will be produced as PDF.
Unfortunately, the TOC mechanism in BIRT when exporting to PDF is to add a bookmark.
However, I need to place a report like
Section A........................1
Section B........................4
Section C........................10
on the first page of the report.
I can't find anything on the books regarding this topic. What is the mechanism to do this?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
This is not possible with BIRT.
What you could try is to create a TOC as usual.
Once the PDF is created with BIRT, you can use iText to read this TOC programatically and create a visible representation for it.
I'm beginner for the report.
=Labels!#SYS7407 // I need to get this
I want to get all labels used in Expression Design report.
I need to export all Labels used
It's possible to extract in a CSV file, with a JOB?
Or, if exist a functionally in Visual Studio to get all labels in my report.
Thansk all,
enjoy!
I am using ssrs 2012.
How can I repeat username in the report header? ReportItem doesn't work if the report spans across more than one page.
I was told to use Internal parameters but there is no such option with rdlc.
Can this somehow be done in codebehind?
Thanks
I am a bit confusing about your problem.
Just add a page header, rigth click on report design surface, insert->page header:
Add a text box and set the expression value to the following built-in field
You should get something like this in every page:
Note I am using rdl but built-in fields is available for both RDL and RDLC.
Let me know if this was helpful.

If you haven't already solved your problem, the best way to do this would be to write an SSRS report that then exports to PDF. You can have your button link directly to the report with the Export to PDF parameter in the querystring.
I am storing GIF images (I can switch to BMP if necessary) in a varbinary column in SQL 2008. I want to display these images in a PDF rendered by the ReportViewer control from my RDLC.
How do I have to reference the image data in the report to make that work?
=First(Fields!sh_lot_num_barcode_image.Value, "DataSet1"))
A simple field reference does not seem to do the trick.
So it turns out my question was already asked before and self-answered. Give Tina your vote!
Together with Kevin's answer it got me on the right trail. I ended up adding a property to my Linq stored procedure results class that invokes the image HTML Handler. I changed the MIME type to BMP and it works like a charm - I can drop the database column now and don't need to jump through hoops to compose the URL for the image service. This property below I can directly assign to the image control.
public byte[] NDCLabel {
get {
return
BarcodeUtilities.ConvertImageToByteArray(
BarcodeUtilities.GetBarcodeImage(this.ndc)
,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
}
}
Have you considered writing an HTTP Handler to read the image from the database and write it to the response stream? Then you can set the image control in your report to use the URL as the source and it should render in the output.
I don't have any actual images as blobs in a database to test with, but I did something sorta similar when I needed to render rich text on a report.
