I have created web kit report for HR Timesheet Employees Attendance.I have generated report having 10 pages. But I face little problem over here,report contains a table which is continue in next pages.It is dynamic.So The problem is on the next page table header is not shown.
I want to show table header on every page if the table continues on next pages.
Looks like table headers are a known issue with webkit. That bug report does suggest some workarounds, but they don't sound very promising.
If you decide to go back to the RML reports, the ReportLab documentation describes the repeatRows attribute for a blockTable.
The repeatRows argument specifies the number of leading rows that should be repeated when the Table is asked to split itself. The repeatCols argument is currently ignored as a Table cannot be split by column.
I haven't tried it myself, but it also appears in some of the OpenERP documentation.
ok so u have tables that repeats and currently its overwritten on the header of you page template ...the problem is with the frame height just adjust the frame height a bit less than the current value in the rml file.
for eg:
<frame id="first" x1="18.0" y1="42.0" width="535" height="600"/>
it will get solved i too had the same problem and solved it by adjusting the frame id. this is the link of the question i asked: Reports in rml of Openerp

I'm responsible for remediating a PDF that has been generated by a third-party, proprietary system for which I have no access to the layout or design. The goal is to pass the adobe acrobat DC accessibility checker before publication.
Some of the tables in the PDF span multiple pages horizontally (i.e. with a page break at column 4 of 7). Thus far, I have designated each piece of text content as a "Cell" and grouped those into a "Table Row" tag and defined each header and sub-header as a "Table Header Cell".
However, Acrobat DC seems to get confused as to the relative size and spacing of each table element. It is creating phantom column headers and rearranging or combining rows in order to fit the appearance of a more standard layout PER PAGE. But since I need one cohesive table to span TWO PAGES, this is breaking my accessibility.
Depending on how I nest my table elements, I get a table layout like one of the two examples below:
Example when including blank cells for multi-column header rows
Example when defining the column span of multi-colum header rows as "7"
As you can see, the layout is not uniform and does not pass regularity checks. Plus, as I add more rows with several blank cells, the table editor produces an error that reads:
"Unknown Table Structure Encountered"
The only way I have managed to remove this error, is to exclude the bolded main-section sub-headers from the tag structure entirely, but I cannot just leave them as untagged content and pass the checker.
Please help.

Kevin, thanks for replying. Because of the malformed grid, I cannot even click on the cells on Page 2 in order to associate headers. Is there a way to define table structure without using the Table Editor mode? – Glamador Apr 3 at 12:27
but don't have the rep yet to do so:
Glamador - Knowing it can't help you half a year ago but might in the future: I encountered this in a document this week and figured out the "Why" and how to get the Table Editor back, but not the "Easiest/best way to solve" the tagging in Acrobat. This issue is denying you Table Editor is with the table header (TH) cell you created that spans multiple pages.
So if you set a table header cell to something like Row Span: 7, and 3 of those are on the second page Acrobat will give you the "Unknown table structure encountered. Please retag this table using the Reading Order Tool to possibly fix the problem." error any time you try to use the Table Editor on the table that has that [table header cell with a multi-page row span/I'm not working with but assume column span too].
To get your Table Editor use back (not solving the tagging of accessibility, but to quit getting that error on your table,):
Go to your tags
Create a new empty Table Header Cell
Drag the content displayed in the tag from the problem TH to your new TH
Delete the [multiple page row/column spanning, but now empty] problem TH
Repeat if you did this in multiple TH in the same table
You can now use Table Editor again
Note: Because you can't use the Table Editor once these problem headers have been created you can't use it to see which TH's you have set to span multiple pages, or see those row/column spans, so you're going to have to just look at your document if you went through tagging and are going back and checking later and figure out which are the likely problem headers to replace. If you create that header span again in the table that goes across multiple pages you'll be unable to use the Table Editor again until you delete that tag with the page spanning issue.
I haven't found if you can combine TH Row Span settings with IDs/Associated Header Cell IDs and have the user software identify both, so I've been doing the tedious ID association on large but simple tables as my "It's tagged correctly" option, but unfortunately it isn't nearly as fast and easy as Row Spans.
You can edit the tag's object properties by right-clicking on the tag and then you can add an ID there if it doesn't already have one. Be sure each data cell is associated with a header cell. PAC's screen reader preview will also give a good view of the layout to help you get everything associated correctly.
I am using PdfPTable to create a table in pdf.I have a single row in the table.In my row last column has data which has height more than remaining height of the page.So row is getting started from the next page while table headers are on the previous page and there is large blank space below the header on the first page.
Can anybody suggest how can i split the row over multiple page.
Thanks
Please read chapter 4 of my book or browser the documentation that is abundant on the iText site.
By default, table rows aren't split. iText will try to add a complete row to the current page, and if the row doesn't fit, it will try again on the next page. Only if it doesn't fit on the next page, it will split the row. This is the default behavior, so you shouldn't be surprised by what you see in your application.
You can change this default behavior. There's a method that will allow you to drop content that doesn't match (this is not what you want) and there's a method that will allow you to split rows when they don't fit the current page (this is what you want).
The method you need is used in the HeaderFooter2 example:
PdfPTable table = getTable(...);
table.setSplitLate(false);
By default, the value of setSplitLate() is true: iText will split rows as late as possible. By changing this default to false, iText will split rows immediately.
I wrote a very simple drag and drop style report screen online so users can specify labels and fields etc much like an MS Access Report. I am having an issue getting this to output as PDF and I am using MigraDoc. The TextFrame allows you to specify a Left/Top which is good but I need to do this for multiple rows and I can't quite get it to work in this way.
At present I tried to add a table and a row (for each record) and put textframes within this with the left/top properties but every field gets put in the same place i.e. 0,0 and the records flow over both the header and footer?
I am using c#
I'm using a data view to display a list (Sharepoint 2010) that has several columns including one that has a Name column. I've provided the user with a text filter on the page to send values to filter the Name column in this list. The problem I'm facing is that the filter only works for exact matches and not partial matches.
I tried to overcome this problem by using Sharepoint Designer to:
create a parameter that uses the textbox control value.
Filtering the Name column with this parameter and setting the comparison to "Contains"
Unfortunately if the default value of the Parameter is blank, the list does not display any data. If the default value of the parameter is set to part of a name in the list, the list displays names that contain that string. However, when changing the value in the text box and searching, the list does not return results. Please let me know if you guys know how to fix this. Any help is much appreciated and let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks!
Managed to find a solution to my problem. I used a custom javascript solution designed by jvossers (http://instantlistfilter.codeplex.com) that involves the list being filtered instantly much like Google's search!
The only downside of this solution is that it only filters the items currently displayed on the screen. Therefore, if you have a data view web part which limits the amount of items displayed on the page, this solution won't help you. In order to facilitate this solution, display all the row items on the page (by increasing the item limit per page to a larger number than your total list rows) and then add this code into a content editor web part on the same page. Worked brilliantly for me. '
By the way if you are using jQuery 1.3.x or higher, you should modify the script a little as described in the disscussion here: http://instantlistfilter.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=49123
Out of the box SSRS reports cannot have data exposed in the page header. Is there a way to get this data to show?
One of the things I want in my reports is to have nice headers for my reports. I like to have a logo and the user's report parameters along with other data to show to give more information for the business needs the report needs to clarify. One of the things that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services cannot do natively is show data from a Dataset in the header. This post will explain how to work around this and how easy it is.
Create the Report Server Project in the Business Intelligence Projects section and call it AdventureWorksLTReports. I use the AdventureWorksLT sample database from CodePlex.

Next show the Page Header by right clicking in the Report area with the designer.

The Page Header will appear. If you want to show the Page Footer this can be accessed from the same menu as the Page Header.

I created a stored procedure that returns data for the Sales Order to be presented in the Page Header. I will show the following information about the Sales Order in the Page Header:
Order Date
Sales Order Number
Company
Sales Person
Total Due
I create a TextBox for each of my data fields in the Page Header along with a TextBox for the corresponding label. Do not change the Expression in the TextBoxes that you want the Sales Order data in.
alt text http://www.cloudsocket.com/images/image-thumb3.png
In the Report Body, place a TextBox for each data field needed in the Page Header. In the Visibility for each TextBox, select True for Hidden. This will be the placeholder for the data needed in the Page Header.
alt text http://www.cloudsocket.com/images/image-thumb4.png
Your report should look similar to the screenshot shown below.
alt text http://www.cloudsocket.com/images/image-thumb5.png
The last step and most important is to reference the Hidden TextBox in the TextBoxes located in the Page Header. We use the the following Expression to reference the needed TextBoxes:
=ReportItems!.Value
Your report should now look similar to the following:
alt text http://www.cloudsocket.com/images/image-thumb6.png
Your Report preview should now have the Sales Order Header data in the Report Header.
alt text http://www.cloudsocket.com/images/image-thumb7.png
You have to do it through Parameters. Add a parameter for each piece of data you would like to display, then set the parameter to Hidden. Then set the default value to "From Query" and set the Dataset and Value field to the appropriate values.
I think the best option is creating a internal parameter, with the default value the field of the dataset you want to show.
Here are two possible workarounds:
You can place the databound field within the body of the report as a hidden textbox, and then in the header place another textbox with it's value pointed at the the one hidden within the body.
Try using report parameters to store the data, and use those parameters to access the data in the header.
This technique wouldn't work if your report spans over multiple pages, use queried parameters instead, and set the textbox value to =Parameters!Name.Value as per this article.
I'm with Orion Adrian here. Report parameters are the way to go.
I wanted to show a field, common to all returned rows, in the header, and for this scenario I went for the linked table solution (placing a table containing the field in the body and link a textbox in the header to this table).
I did that because if you are using the parameter solution and no data is returned to the field in question, the text "Parameter is missing a value" is shown instead of just a blank table. I reckoned this text would confuse users (as the parameter isn't even visible).
