I am designing an invoice using iReport but i am having a problem with formatting.

I have to print invoice on letter head, where there are fixed positions to print the fields for example the total Amount has to get printed inside the box fixed at some location.

This is format of letter head:

At the bottom there is a field where total amount has to get printed, but i am not able to do so.

My output using iReport:

You should try to change Position Type to Fix Relative to Bottom or Float for this textField (with $V{TOTAL2}+$V{Tax} expression).

<textField pattern="###0.00">
    <reportElement positionType="FixRelativeToBottom" x="464" y="252" width="73" height="20"/>
    <textElement>
        <font size="11" isBold="true"/>
    </textElement>
    <textFieldExpression><![CDATA[$V{TOTAL2}+$V{Tax}]]></textFieldExpression>
</textField>
