Version 5.4 will allow to select a custom paper size for a document to be used for PDF and RTF exporters.

Users have to select CUSTOM to paper size property and then to edit custom definition property to enter width, height and measure unit. Custom definition property is seen only when paper size is set to CUSTOM.

About Me

Mihai Dinca-Panaitescu

Working with Java since 1998 with focus on both server back-end and UI.

In the late 90's till 2003 when not so much frameworks were present I was involved in proprietary server implementation (with all the technology from that time like RMI, JDBC, transactions, Servlets, XML, XSL), user interface with SWING and a lot of algorithms for agriculture business.

In middle 2000's I was involved in many custom development projects adding more flavor to my knowledge : JBoss and OC4J servers, J2EE, Hibernate, EHCache, Ant, JUnit, TestNG

From 2008 I was part of NextReports, starting with designer development in SWING. Then NextReports Server came to life and new technologies were adopted : Spring, JPA, JCR, Wicket, jQuery, Jersey, Maven, Ivy, Git, Android.

Since starting of 2014 I developed a HTML5 library called NextCharts which can be found on github.

I’m currently part of the NextReports developing team at Advantage Software Factory, a local leading provider of business software solutions. NextReports is a business reporting suite composed of reports designer, reporting engine and reporting server. Besides this product, ASF also developed a debt collection software and a CRM solution.
