When exporting RDL reports to Microsoft Word documents, you can configure the export by specifying different configuration settings. You can control document layout, page breaks, page orientation, and so on.

There is one noticeable drawback, though. You can only configure the export at a Reporting Services instance level. That means you modify the rsreportserver.config file and it affects all the reports processed by the instance. But what if you have a single report that, for example, contains a text on top of an image and … Continue Reading

We have just released Aspose.Words for JasperReports 1.3.0. The new version includes a number of features that we hope you will find useful. Those are page margins, page breaks of different types, and the support for Microsoft Word fields that allows, for example, export page numbers that will be dynamically updated while the generated document is being edited.

Let’s discuss all of the features in details.

Unfortunately, at the moment the JasperReports print model does not allow exporters … Continue Reading

Well… it is a great feeling being proud of the fact that a product you develop grows and gets more and more useful for people. You release it and realize that this was another milestone you have just passed! 🙂

This process is endless. The product will never be ideal, and while it lives, it gets better. But that’s great, because having an ideal product would be very boring (although profitable) and actually would leave us without the job 🙂

We … Continue Reading

We have just published Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 3.1.1. It is a hotfix that contains two important bugfixes. First, it addresses the long table cells problem reported by our customers. If your reports include tables with large amount of data spread over a few pages, you might want to install the hotfix to avoid incorrect export. Second, it addresses the invalid group page breaks placement that occurred for some relatively complex report design.

To download the hotfix, please visit http://www.aspose.com/community/files/52/ssrs-rendering-extensions/aspose.words-for-reporting-services/default.aspx… Continue Reading

While working on Aspose.Words for Reporting Services, we have been constantly thinking on how to maintain a good balance between the “editability” and appearance of the documents being generated. Produce documents as simple as possible, but don’t let layout and formatting suffer – that’s been our rule.

Following this rule is often difficult. RDL reports and Microsoft Word documents are basically very different things. RDL reports are easy to draw (for example, as a PDF document or image), but try to compose them … Continue Reading

We proudly announce a new release of Aspose.Words for JasperReports. In this release, you will find that a number of exciting features have been added.

First off, apart from DOC, DOCX, TXT and HTML, the product now supports two additional formats – Rich Text Format (RTF) and OpenDocument Text (ODT)!

Secondly, lines and rectangles are now exported along with other report elements. Note however that they are disabled by default because the way some JasperReports are currently designed may lead to corrupted document layout. … Continue Reading
