DANFE in Jasper - problem with additional data field

Question

I have a DANFE report developed in Jasper and I need the information in the "Additional Data" field to be printed. However, when there is overflow of this field it does not print the rest of the information on the next page, but prints the field from the beginning, leaving it with the same information on all pages.

In the Field I am using the following properties:

• Stretch With Overflow: true;
• Stretch Type: Relative to Tallest Object;
• Position Type: Float;
• Print When Detail Overflows: False;

The field is in Band Page Footer, which has the option "Split Type" as "Prevent" and I tried to use as "Stretch" but did not solve the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Dude, here’s the thing, Page Footer only prints once on each page, so your Additional Data breaks from page you have two options: either you put your Additional Data field into a new Detail, or you create a Group. The two will continue on the next page as you want, already Page Footer resets every page iteration.
