    Configure Rows to Repeat at Top and Bottom
    In This Topic

    You can configure rows in a worksheet in order to repeat them at the top by using the setPrintTitleRows() method and at the bottom by using the setPrintTailRows() method of the IPageSetup interface.

    While exporting a spreadsheet with repeating rows to a PDF file, the tail rows will be exported only when its index is larger than the page's last row's index. Otherwise, the tail row is ignored. For instance, if the Print Area is "B5:H23" and the top repeating row is "$3:$3"; it will print "$3:$3" repeatedly on each page. However, if users set the top repeating row to "$30:$30", then it will not print "$30:$30" (because the row index is larger than print area).

    Refer to the following example code in order to configure rows to repeat at the bottom.

    Java
    Copy Code
    // Initialize workbook
    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
            
    // Fetch default worksheet
    IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
    
    // Populating cells in worksheet
    for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
            worksheet.getRange(i, j).setValue(i);
            worksheet.getRange(199, j).setValue("Row 199");
        }
    
    // Repeat Row 200 at the bottom of each page while saving pdf
    worksheet.getPageSetup().setPrintTailRows("$200:$200");
    
    // Saving workbook to pdf
    workbook.save("ConfigureTailRows.pdf", SaveFileFormat.Pdf);

    In order to configure rows to repeat at top, refer to the following example code.

    Java
    Copy Code
    // Set rows to repeat at top
    worksheet.getPageSetup().setPrintTitleRows("$5:$10");
