How to remove blank lines in case when WhenPrintExpression is false?
We are using JasperReports 6.6.
I use conditional expression to display certain parameters. The behaviour is as expected. However, when it is not printed, there is still blank line space.
The fields are not touching each other, I took care. There are all isRemoveLineWhenBlank. Print when no expression is functionnal since the expression content is not displayed when the condition is not ok. The other elements are float type.
TRY
I tried solutions from other answers but do not correspond to my situation. I already tried them. I will explain more in details:
1) Removing blank entries from a Jasper report
For this one, I can't use frame. I already tried but unfortunately, I don't succeed to allow frame on several pages. Then, when my frame is above a certain treshold size, it goes directly onto another page. This is not what I expect.
About this issue, I asked a question but never get any answer: How to split a frame in several pages with jasper?
2) iReport: reposition elements after removeing line
Here, as I say at the beginning of my issue, I respect the requirements: - Textfield's value is empty - Textfield's "Remove line when blank" is checked - Textfield's Position type is setted to "Float" - Textfields are not touching each other
The only difference is that my values are not necessarily empty, such as the labels which are not related to any value. But there is the PrintWhenExpression condition on them.
3) iReport: How to hide line with text fields without data line contains different kind of data
How to remove frame with empty textFields?
JRXML SAMPLE with no parameters:
My problem is localized in the "Dispositions Facturation" content part. You can see in the source that the PrintWhenExpression is set to false for this content, and it does not appear and a blank line is left.

What is wrong
You have a small vertical gap between every neighbours elements.
Yes, it is small (only 3px), but it is exisits.
How to fix
I changed y position of all elements. I removed this gap:
y-position of element = (y-position + height) of previous element
Doing this trick I saved 98 px for "Managers d'entité :" label. Yes, not too much but as a result no more new page.
The modified design looks like this:
The output result for this a little bit modified template is:
For now, in case removing element(s) - the all elements below will be pull out without any issues.
This is how the JasperReports engine works. You have to play using this rules.
