CRVS2010 beta - New Page Before option non consistent

Hello,
The New Page Before option is on the paging tab on the section expert.
If I select this option on a group header report section, a new page is not inserted at the beginning of the report like it did in the previous version. Instead the first group prints on the first page.
On a report that has 2 group header sections, the new page before option does insert a blank page at the beginning of the report.
I've tried it with the "Keep Together" option on the common tab, selected and not selected and both of above situations still happen.
I guess my question is whether or not the code for the New Page Before option has been changed since CR2008 first came out. I know that there are service pack upgrades, but when I was using CR2008, I didn't install any of them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I re-tested this again and still notice the same thing.
Below is how I tested.
I opened a report that only has one group. When I applied the new page before option for the group header section, the page break was created in the right place.
When I used a report that has 2 groups, regardless of which group header section that I applied the "new page before" option to, the page break was not right, as explained below
When applied to the group header 1 section, the first page of the report is blank
When applied to the group header 2 section, the first page prints the page header info and the group name and no detail records.
For reports with more than one group, it doesn't seem like the new page before option works as I thought it would (meaning that the page break is applied properly), so I created a formula for the new page before option.
What I'd like to know is if the output that I described above for reports with at least 2 groups is the way that the "new page before" option is suppose to work or if the option is really only meant to be used on reports that only have one group.
Thank you
Tracy

Crystal 2008 - New Page Setup options - need explanation please

I have been unable to locate documentation on the new Page Setup screen for Crystal 2008. I am specifically looking on detailed documentation about the following check boxes:
Printer Options:
     No Printer
Page Options section:
     Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size
Margins section:
     Adjust Automatically.
Can someone please detail for me these options. I'd like to know why I would use them and how do they work when combinations of them are selected. I am most interested in the second option (above), but would like explanations about all of them.
Thank you.

I do not think the No Printer option is valid for us as our reports are not web based.
Does the Adjust Automatically apply to the reports as they are run from a runtime client? or does this just adjust for design mode?
This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'. It sounds like this is the setting we may want to check when creating our reports before we distribute to runtime clients.
Here is why I want to know.
We develop our reports to fit 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper. We distribute our reports to our clients along with the runtime merge modules. We have a VB.Net 2005 program that our non-vb.net software application executes in order to print the reports (using the Crystal for .NET methods, etc.) from our software application.
Some of our clients are in Europe. They use A4 paper. We have re-designed some of our reports so the fields will fit within both paper sizes (8.5x11 and A4). However, we have over 500 reports we distribute, so we have not modified all reports. Therefore, prior to Crystal XI, we recommended to our runtime users that if the data on the report did not fit on the A4 paper (it was truncated), then they need to go into the printer properties (from the printer dialog box...these are users running the report, not developers) and change the report from portrait to landscape before they print. This would print the report landscape with data across 8.5", and then white space on the right/remainder of the page, but all the data would print, nothing truncated. After we installed Crystal XI, using this option of selecting landscape at print time, no longer worked. The report would print with the orientation in which it was created (in our case portrait) regardless of what the user selected from printer properties.
This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'. Can someone at SAP elaborate on this please?

Is it possible to force Firefox to load a url in a tab when opening a new page (before the page has loaded)?

Recently when using a rather unreliable internet connection I'm often get dropped connections that prevent pages from loading.
In the past this used to result in an "Unable to connect to server page" when the timeout happened, which was fine as I could just refresh the page.
These days however the page is timing out when the page is still on the about:blank stage (or stuck on the current page), before the url has been updated, so I'm losing the address.
Is there any way to force firefox to update the url as soon as the page load request is made, as opposed to when it recieves a response from the server (which is how it seems to work at the moment)?

If you click a link then Firefox may only be showing the URL on the location bar if at least there is a connection to the server.
If you are on Linux then it should take minutes before the connection times out, at least that is what I see (on Windows it is only 20 seconds). This might be different in case the connection drops.
There should be a try again button of the net error page to reload this link.
Don't you see such a button?
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

New Page Before

Hi All,
I am having 3 groups.
i need to start a new page whenever any of the group value changes.
Please help to do the task.
Thank you,
Saravanakumar.

Hi Saravana,
Have you tried from section expert.
Select Groups.
Select New Page After.
If you want New page after based on some condition then you can try to write
formula based on condition.

CRVS2010 beta - Crystal Reports Menu option

Hello,
When viewing this menu from the Main Report Preview tab, there is an option on the Crystal Reports menu called "Crystal Reports Community". The option is not working.
My question is when this option is working, what will it link to?
Thank you
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
Because it's beta none of those links will work until CR is released to the public as a GA build. It will likely be the same as what you see in CR 2008 Start Page, links to get updates, forums, etc....
I'll pass this onto the PM's for CR4VS2010 and if anything is different they add to this post.
Thank you again
Don

When I restart, previous tabs & websites open. I have selected open in new page in options this does not work

When I start my computer and open Firefox, all the tabs from the previous session open. For now, I have to return each session to my home page (Google) prior to closing to prevent this from occuring. I have selected "When Firefox starts show my home page" this does not work. I have de selected and then reselected this option numerous times and it has now become a very big annoyance. I am about to uninstall Mozilla if this cant be rectified.

New Page before or after subtotalled group

I have a report which covers multiple projects with subtotals for each project. I currently have the situation where the page break cuts in the middle of the project group and shows on the next page, you end up not knowing what the project is. I can set page breaks so they are defined but the second projects or elements to each project are added it inserts a blank or a partial page. I'd like to have the page break inserted before or after the project group. Any suggestions?

I was thinking that would make the most sense also. It's just that the Lenovo Win8 pages say to do your updates *before*.
http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8/upgrade/think/notebook2_en.html
And then there's this really scary-looking page about everything you should un-install first:
http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/windows8/upgrade/think/notebook4_en.html
Is this for real? This would take hours.

New page

Hello,
I've read manual for CR 2008.
But I don't clear understand how I can build second, third page without grops,block,sub reports.
I have report build on SAP query. In report I should have 2 tables on two pages.
Now I designed first table on first page. How I can build second page and build second table on it with data of the same SAP query.
So I wan that user open report and in print preview he will see two page.
Regards,
Roman

Hi Roman,
We can do this with 2 subreports,
Follow these steps.
1, Open the main report.
2,Divide the 'Detail' section as two parts(Details a and Details b) Using 'Insert Section Below' option.
3, Insert One Subreport into Section 'Details a'. And Filled this subreport with the values of Query1. Format the subreport as ur wish. Make sure to set the borders of subreport as 'None'. And enable the 'can grow' option.Increase the width of the subreport up to maximum.
4,Insert another Subreport into Section 'Details b'. And Filled this subreport with the values of Query2. Format the subreport with ur wish. Make sure that to set the borders of subreport as 'None'. And enable the 'can grow' option too.Increase the width of the subreport up to maximum.
5, Right click on the 'details b' section in design view->Goto 'Selection Expert'->Click on 'Paging' tab->Check the 'New Page Before' check box.->OK
6, Save the report.
Hope it will work for you,
Cheers,
Salah.

Force PageFooter Section to Always Print on New Page

Hello All,
I have a Sub Report in the PageFooter Section of my Main Report. How do I force this subreport to always print on a new page?
Thanks and Best regards,
Felix

I think it is not possible to use the option for page footer as new page after or new page before as these options are greyed out. Do you have a seperate data to show in page footer? and do you want to repeat it for all pages? If it is a static data then you can directly place them in page footer. Could you please explain me in brief what exactly the output you are looking for?havendra

New page for group headers - the first page is blank

In the Section Expert, if you set the Group Header #1 to "New Page Before", and there is a Page Header section, the first page will show the Page Header with no further data. The rest of the report does the page breaks correct, that is, a new page every time the grouping changes.
How do you stop this blank page at the beginning?
If you assign New Page After in the Group Footer, there is a blank page at the end of the report, which is also annoying. What am I missing?
Robert

If you are using "New Page Before" then use the condition by clicking on X+2 corresponds to it and write
Not OnFirstRecord
For "New Page After" write
Not OnLastRecord

Text flows create a delay when an overflow creates a new page, preventing you from reading the page number, giving error

Hi all!
I am creating a script to generate automatically a photo catalog; the idea is to prepare a master document with a text frame in the master spread with auto flowing, then insert images with their caption by the script, letting the system create automatically the subsequent pages when necessary by an unique flow of text.
My catalog is divided in sections, each represented by a different master spread; so I have to know in which page I am working when the script put there an image, just to link the current page to the proper master spread.
To simplify everything I have resumed the core of my script here, using text instead of images:
/* load a master document, only containing an empty text frame in the master spread, connected to the main text flow */
var doc = app.open(new File("~/Desktop/mySampleDoc.indd"));
/* I work on the story, thinking that whenever the textframe of the first page will be full, another text frame will be created in the next page (automatically created) */
var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
/* now I put some lines of text into the story, expecting the creation of a new page when the first one will be full */
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
   /* this is next line: */
    story.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "this is line n. " + i + "\r";
    /* here I want to know on which page is the line just created (error is generated here just during the creation of the new page + text frame) */
    thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset;
   /* and now I print page number */
    story.insertionPoints.item(-1).contents = "current page: " + thisPage + "\r";
The big problem is: when the first text frame is full and an overflow is generated, a new page with a new text frame belonging to the main text flow (as the master spread wants) is generated; but it seems my script requests the page number before the new page with the new text frame is born, and an error is given.
It seems like the script goes too fast in respect to the creation of the new page.
If I delete the line thisPage = story.insertionPoints[-1].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.documentOffset; everything is ok.
I tried to introduce a delay until 3 seconds without any effect.
I tried also to show or zoom the new page before the page number request, thinking to force the system to wait until page is really born, also without any effect (by the way, I was not able to show the page during the script's additions of text!).
Someone can help me?
Many thanks to everyone
Roberto

Many thanks: you are right!
Unfortunately, I am at the very beginning with ExtendScript, and there are so many things I don't know until now...
With recompose() everything works very well, and it give me a solution also for redrawing the page while the script is working...
Many thanks, again!
Roberto

New page when group changes

Hiya, I am a newbie using BI Publisher in conjunction with APEX. I have a report where I need the header to be repeated for a group over multiple pages. I have searched the forum and seen prior comments about using a 2 row table and such, but where would I put the G Group_Name items in this case?
Thanks!

Remove 'New Page Before' on the group header and Check 'New Page After' on **Group Footer. Please note on Group footer. Also, on the last group if you do not want to have page break, click on Formula editor button on Group Footer's 'New Page After' where you checked and write formula 'Not OnlastRecord'
Keep the reset page setting similar but on group footer.

New Page After if PageNumber mod 2 = 0 not working

My report needs to print on both sides of the paper, but one of the subreports that it calls must always start on the front, not the back, side of the page. The subreport is in a subfooter (Group Footer #3e), so I have a 'dummy' subfooter (Group Footer #3d) before it, with a formula stipulating New Page After if PageNumber mod 2 = 0. Since this doesn't seem to work, I also have a formula in Group Footer #3e stipulating New Page Before if PageNumber mod 2 = 0. Still doesn't work - it just merrily starts the subreport on the even-numbered page. If I print PageNumber in Group Footer #3e, (above where the subreport is invoked), it does display the even page number, so the formula should be forcing it to throw the page. This even-page-throwing formula works just fine in other parts of my report and within the subreport itself. Any ideas why it's not working in this particular case?

Not sure I follow your design but I think what I would do is to use New Page Before for both the subreport section and the section preceding the subreport section. I would use New Page Before all the time before the subreport section, and conditionally for the preceding section using the PageNumber mod 2 expression.

Who has a suspicion he is suggesting what you already tried but is not sure...

HT2534 I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said that i have not yet used this ID on iTunes yet. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It won't let me continue.

I have already created an Apple ID. I tried to sign in on iTunes, but it said I have not yet used this ID with iTunes. It then directed me to the billing page. There was no option "none" for the credit card payment. It will not let me continue without entering one in.

- Add a credit card or other payment method like redeeming an iTunes gift card.
- Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Blank page is getting displayed in SAPScript when using NEW-PAGE option.

Hello Experts,
We have created a customized SAPScript and in this separate Script is generated based on the currency(WAERS).
So if we have 3 different currencies, then 3 pages will be created with there details, but we are using NEW-PAGE option in
MAIN window to separate the pages and after 3rd page it is displaying 4th page also with footer details.
So how can we avoid last blank page which is getting displayed?

Hi isha.walia ,
This issue can be solved by two ways. Please take the one which suits you better.
Solution 1: If you need to generate separate prints for different currencies.
In the driver program, build an internal table for different currencies which needed to be printed. (Using delete adjacent duplicates, build the internal table with exact number of currencies to be printed). Remove the NEW-PAGE option and call the script/form inside the loop. Do the necessary conditions to manipulate the print.
Advantages of above solution: Better control on spools if needed.
Solution 2: Get the count of the number of pages in a variable. Inside the print loop, increment a flag counter. Check it against the variable which contains the number of pages to be printed at the end of each page. Exit the loop when the number of pages to be printed is reached.
Advantage of above solution: Simple to write the program.
Thanks and Regards
