Jasper Reports Printing

Classic Servoy
1

Hi All,
I’m trying to implement mail merging through Jasper Reports. I use the ‘print’ output type on the Servoy Jasper Reports Plugin to achieve this.
But the problem is for each merged letter/report the print dialog box pops up. So if I try to print 30 letters thats 30 print dialog boxes.
Is there a way to by-pass this?
Cheers,

P.S. We should have a main topic for queries regarding the Jasper Report Plugin. :)

It should be possible to bypass it, it is ‘standard’ functionality of Jasper…
Dunno about the plugin though.

There are a few ways you could implement this:

  1. Tag the records that you want to be printed in the mail merge. Maybe set a column like “jasperPrint=1”. Then the sql query on the report will be setup to only print those records.

  2. Use ‘PDF’ as the output type. Then in your loop merge the documents using the pdf_ouput pluing (combinePDFDocuments), and then print the PDF.
