How to make a table with many columns in a report

I would like to create a report containing a table that will not fit to one page, since it has too many columns开发者_开发知识库. I want BIRT to create a report that you can print and put the pages next to each other to get the whole table.

An Example: My table has 20 columns, 10 fit on one page. The Table has enough rows to fill 2 pages. When I put the printed pages on a table like this:

P1 - P2

P3 - P4

I see the whole table with all 20 columns. How can I do that with BIRT report designer 3.7.0?

Since Birt is page oriented, I guess this will not work.

I guess you'll have to create one report with the whole table to display on the screen, and another "print optimized" one with two tables distributed over two pages.

I actually saw a similar question on the official BIRT eclipse forum. They suggested adding a page break inside the table and that should break up the columns across the different pages (unless I mis-understood what you are trying to accomplish).
