Modify Output of PDF Report

I am looking for a way to move/modify the data at the top of a PDF report export.   The specific information I would like to move to the bottom of the report is:
Report Title, Run Date and Time, Run By, Table Name, Query Condition, Group by and Sort Order.

I assume it would be modifying a script, but I was unable to find it.   Any pointers or help would be appreciated.

As a side note, this does not work on list exports when you right click on a column header and select export.   It does work when you click the Save drop down and select export to PDF.

Good catch Robert!


At least that way you can get rid of the information within the report itself. AFAIK you still won't be able to get all the information from there in the footer only as it only supports 3 fields - maybe it would be worth a try modifying the header/footer engine. But I assume this will also end up in the PDFProcessor which we can't change (to my knowledge).

Hi Michael,



you can at maximum change the Header/Footer templates of the report as Robert mentioned.



The content that you refer to is probably covered in one of the base JAVA classes (most likely the ReportPDFProcessor), therefore you won't be able to change this.

That is what I was afraid of...thanks for taking the time for answering.   I will give you Answer credit if I don't get any further information within a day or two.
