We use Blackberries to display reports in PDF format. The following is the details of the problem:
- PDF reports are created using JasperReports.
- The format of the report can be changed.
- Various report formats are available (according to the JasperReports feature set).
- PDF reports are also located on the website, so maintaining a single source is ideal.
- Page setup in Landscape.
Here are the problems we encountered:
- Users cannot see the full line of text on Blackberry.
- The size of the PDF and user interface makes reading difficult at best.
- The menu option for converting PDF to text loses too much formatting to be useful.
- The text is blurry (and too small).
Here are the solutions we thought about:
- Create a second report (not perfect) in text or HTML format.
- Simplify the format of the original report (in fact, this is not an option, given the amount of data).
What other options exist for creating a report on Blackberry, taking into account the limitations of JaserReports, so the report:
- Legible?
- Formatted for readability?
- Displayed fast?
In fact, we would like to make sure that there are no simple solutions that we have missed for displaying clear PDF files on Blackberry.
