Known issues

JDK 9 is not supported for JReport

As a newly released JDK version, JDK 9 is currently not supported for the installation of JReport products.

Summary field disappears from design view when deleting table column

If a summary is inserted in the Group Footer Panel of a table, when you delete a column from the table, or unmerge the cell of the group footer panel, sometimes you may find the summary field disappears from design view, however, from the report structure tree in the Report Inspector, you can still find the object. You can reset its coordinate related properties so as to make the summary field display again.

Report data gets cut off in PDF result

When you export a report to PDF format, if the report contains a large amount of data but its page mode was specified to be continuous page mode, or its page size was set to be larger than 200 inches, you will find that in the PDF result some data of the report are cut off. This is because in one PDF page, the data displayed can be no larger than 200 inches.

Unsupported go-to action temporarily when using dynamic formula on chart

When you perform the go-to action on a chart which uses a dynamic formula as its shown value, and the formula contains group information, you will get exceptions. This is a limitation in current version. We will resolve the issue in future release.
