How to hide textField for specified exporter. For example for not HTML

Question

I have a JasperReports jrxml file which has a hyperlink inside a textField element.

I do not want to show this hyperlink in anything other than the HTML vie

Answer 1

Looking at your source, it may be possible to create an ExporterFilter that suppresses hyperlinks, and then you have to add that filter to the export process for everything except HTML. However, I don't see why you don't want to show the hyperlink in the other formats. For many years PDF, Word, Excel, etc. will all interpret a hyperlink correctly, and in fact respond to a mouse click on the link just like a browser. That's probably why the process is going to be painful: you are reversing what for most people is expected behavior.
