Blank First Page in Sub Report

Hi,
My sub report display the first page blank with data starting from the second page. The first page just displays the Report Header. How can I fix this?
Thanks.
Reena

Is it possible that there is a group in the subreport and you have Keep Group Together set in the Group Options?

Who would bet the group data is larger than what fits on a single page and Crystal reacts to that by pushing the whole thing to the second page...

I need a section to display at the bottom of the first page of my report

My report displays a number of records, but at the bottom of the first page of the report, I need a section (a remittance slip) that would only appear at the bottom of the first page.
I've tried using a page footer with conditional suppression. This is fine for the first page, but in subsequent pages, the footer space is reserved, so the records in my details section only go 2/3's of the page. "Reserve minimum page footer" seems pretty useless.
I've looked into using a details section that uses "Print at bottom of page". But since my report contains groupings, this messes up my report structure and leaves a lot of extra space as well.
I can't guarantee that a group footer section will always be on the first page, since it is found at the end of each group.
Any suggestions? Anything I'm missing?
Thank you.

hello plynch,
i would use the method that Abhilash suggested.
" I guess if we have a section (other than the Page Footer, perhaps another Details section) that is always suppressed except when the record count reaches x numbers and have it printed at the bottom, this could be achieved"
if you
1) create a new formula for every section that counts the height of the section...
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar lines:= lines + .2
//use the above for a details section that is .2 inches in height
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar lines:= lines + 2.2
//use the above for a group header section that is 2.2 inches in height
2) do the above for every section (yes it's painful but it works) and you'll see how the sections add to the running total
3) create a new details section that is conditionally suppressed if the page is not equal to 1 and if the running total count is not within a certain height range
4) make this new details section the height that you want the remittance slip and also have a New Page After forced for the section conditional on it being page 1
the above takes a bit of finicky work but if it's worth getting rid of the blank space...
cheers,
jamie

Blank first page on DHTML viewer in Crystal 2008

I have seen some threads regarding this issue but no real resolution.
We are using Crystal 2008 running in a Windows 2003 web server and IIS 6. With the base version of Crystal 2008 installed, everything worked fine when rendering reports in the DHTML viewer. As soon as we upgraded to Crystal 2008 SP2, all reports now show a blank first page.
If you page back and forth or do an export, the data on the first page are displayed.
Does anyone have any ideas what caused this and how to fix it other than uninstalling the service packs?

Let's back up a bit. How did you actually deploy the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET Runtime to your web server? Based on your last message it sounds like you use the original CD media? If so this is incorrect.
You mentioned you copied the crv.js from a cab file from the install media. This might account for your problems because you are using an old of out date .js file with newer engine components.
The way I always suggest to deploy to a web server is to use our server redist files. Below are a few of the files you could use. I've listed FP3.3, SP 3 and SP 2. I don't know what patch level you want to be at so the decision is up to you.

Blank first page

When I import an existing PDF (from a set of customer supplied PDFs) into the Designer I consistently get a blank first page that I am unable to get rid of. In the hierarchy view there is only one page showing. If I click on that page I go to the page with the controls on it (the second page). The page counter at the bottom shows 1/2 for the blank page and 2/2 for the page that the controls are on. I have tried dragging and cut/paste the controls to the top (blank) page. If I try to create a control on the blank page, it shows up on the Hierarchy tree under the the "topmostSubform level, between the Master Pages node and the Referenced Objects node - but the controls are invisible on the Body Pages design area.
It seems completely unrecognized in the environment, except by the page number counter.
This does not happen on all PDF's - I tried a similar one from another source and it imported fine.
So 2 questions -
1. What would be wrong with the customer PDF original that would cause this problem?
2. How do I get rid of the blank page?

I also had this problem after converting some existing pdfs into Livecycle Designer 7.1. I tried the same conversion in v7.0, and it didn't do this, so I suspect an undocumented feature may have crept into version 7.1. ;)
I found that the problem was that somehow the subform for the first ACTUAL page was longer than the bottom of the page. After re-adjusting the subform to something just under the bottom of the page, my extra page vanished and all was good again.
My clue was the fact that when I was on that page and clicked down towards the very bottom, the size in the bottom status line showed 8.5in X 11.014in.
Hopes this helps someone out there. I spent almost a whole day trying to figure it out. :( I looked through seemingly endless XML code and never saw it. It was probably there but I just didn't see it.

Ray

Forms that previously worked, print a blank first page.

I have numerous forms that were created in LiveCycle Designer 8 that worked perfectly, but suddenly they all are printing a blank first page. When I am in LiveCycle in the Design view, I am able to print both pages but when I go to the Preview PDF view, the first page is blank on print preview. I'm stumped. There are no security settings around printing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This seemed to be a property that is causing an additional page to be printed.. If you can send the form to [email protected] , I can have a look at it..
Thanks

Blank first page in reporting services

I have an SSRS 2008R2 report that displays a blank page in Report Manager but not in the PDF export. I have tried all of the online solutions I have seen but still haven't found the cause. About my setup is I have one rectangle overlapping
3 tablixes. I understand that I really need to have these 3 tablices contained within this rectangle, but I can't figure out how to do this for already existing tablices. Is this possible? And is this the cause of the extra blank page?
Ryan D

Hi ironryan77,
According to your description, you get an extra blank page in your report when viewing in Report Manager. But it works properly when exporting into PDF file. Right?
In this scenario, how does your report looks like in SSDT(developing environment)? Please check if you add any page break before the rectangle. Also please check a page size of the report. Make sure "Page Width >= Body Width + Left Margin +
Right Margin".
I have also seen this kind of strange issue, please see a similar thread below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a3633629-74dd-437d-bec9-131285f83f35/report-viewer-shows-blank-page-but-the-blank-page-is-skipped-when-exported-to-pdf?forum=sqlreportingservices
If possible, please share some screenshots about the report design and report view in Report Manager and PDF. That may help us figure out the reason. Thanks.

Blank first page and chart printing on the second page

I have a subreport in my report footer that displays a chart. The detail section is suppressed in the main report. For some reason the chart displays on the second page of the report and the first page is blank except for the report header and page footer. In the section expert the 'new page after' box is checked and grayed out so I can't remove the check to see if that solves the problem. I've never been particularly skilled in regards to reporting and in addition it's been quite a few months since I've even worked on a report. I'm using Crystal XI. Can anyone provide suggestions on where I might look to solve this problem.

Main Report
Report header--suppress blank section
Page header --suppress blank section; supress (no drill down) - page number = 1
Detail--Suppress (no drill down); suppress blank section
Page Footer--suppress blank section
Report Footer--suppress blank section
Sub Report
Report header a--suppress (no drill down) - {?Pm-?Graph Type}<>"Pareto" ; suppress blank section
Report Header b - suppress ( no drill down) - {?Pm-?Graph Type}<>"Pareto-Top 5" ; suppress blank section
Report Header c--Suppress blank section
Group Header #1a--Suppress (no drill down) - If {?Pm-?Graph Type}="Pareto-Top 5" or {?Pm-?Graph Type}="Pie-Top 5" then
{@nIncrement}>5
) ; Suppress blank section
Group Header #1b--Suppress ( no drill down) - {?Pm-?Graph Type}="Pareto" or {?Pm-?Graph Type}="Pie" ; Supress blank section
Detail--Suppress (no drill down); suppress blank section
Group Footer #1--Suppress (no drill down) ; suppress blank section
Report Footer--suppress blank section

Blank first page of pdf

Diadem 2012
I've had a recurring issue which I've l lived with for quite a while and have not been able to narrow down what causes it.
Sometimes a report exported as a PDF has a blank page 1 (missing what should be on page 1 - I only see a black border outline when opening the PDF) and from page 2 on looks normal. Originally the reports were created from a template TDR. After we upgraded to Diadem 2012 I rewrote the report code to dynamically create each report from scratch and the problem happened using both methods. I run this code on different computers and using a variety of source files and I haven't been able to figure out a pattern.
All the reports are being automatically generated so I don't have a TDR to compare to the PDF.
For example, today I generated an Attribute, a dirty and a clean report. Page 1 of the attribute report was blank, but the dirty and clean reports look fine. Page 1 for all 3 reports is a page containing the serial numbers which were used to generate the rest of the report. If there are enough serial numbers to require more than one page, the second page prints fine.
I have a different product which page 1 of the dirty report is blank. There is no attribute report for this product. It's almost like there is some initialization code that needs to happen is not happening, but it fixes itself once it goes on to page 2, and all future reports for the product work fine. But I'm using the same code on a different computer and it is not generating blank pages.
The code for the first page of the attribute, dirty and clean is the same code. The attribute and dirty/clean routines are in different code files so the routine which generates the serial number page is copied.
Looking for any ideas.
thanks,
James

James
I feel for you, this looks like a hard one to narrow down to a solution. I have made automatically generating reports to PDF as well.
It does sound some initialization code is not being ran consistently. With my limitations of can't see code, and really do not have the time if did have code. But I can offer some tips used to trouble shoot similar issues.
1) As far as comparing the tdr to PDF. You can add right before the PDF is made, a command to save the tdr file. That will allow you to verify that the PDF output command is not the issue. It will also allow code to be developed to detect it missing, and log it.
2) Once you have a TDR of the first page not happening, you can develop code to look at the report objects to check that the first page has values in it.
3) Once you have the code that will detect the first page not being present, then this sub or function can be can at various pages of the app, with results logged to DIAdem log or other fie. This has the potential to reduce the possible area causing the issue.
General notes:
a) When you are refering to the specific pages. Is this by page number or by page name? I usually use page name to get the page I want.
b) When it builds the report and report objects, Is the app naming the objects as it makes them? If it was then it would make is more straightforward to check for them missing.
I am thinking that once you have a sample TDR with the missing first page information, It opens up the troubleshooting options.
If some examples of the above are helpful. Just let me know.

How to print a table only on the first page BI Publisher report

Hi,
I have a requirement to only print part of what is in the header on the first page only. It is a table. How can I do this in BI Publisher?
Thanks.

Hi,
better to ask a question about BI Publisher in BI Publisher Forum than here in Reports Forum.
You can create a template in your rtf wich you reference in your header. With BI Desktop in Winword you can use a different header for first page than the others.

How to get the text field in the header for only first page of the report

Hi,

Invalid path? What are you doing? Writing the report output to an invalid directory?
Where are your terms and conditions? It would be very easy just to put them in a database table and select them in your report query.

Blank first page problem

Hi, all! We have a problem in Report Builder 6.0.8.22.0. This problem didn�t occur with Report Builder 3.0.5.11.4. The problem is:
there is a number of reports supporting data output into the txt. file. The support is arranged in the following way:
1.frames, which are to be represented in the report when the MODE parameter value is set to �bitmap� are located in the main section of the layout model;
2. frames which are to be represented in the report when the MODE parameter value is set to �character� are located in the header section of the layout model;
Each frame has a format trigger set in such a way that the first group of frames is launched only when the MODE parameter is set to �bitmap�, and the second group is launched only when the MODE parameter is set to �character�.
Everything was alright with Report Builder 3.0.5.11.4, but in Report Builder 6.0.8.22.0 when we output the report in the �bitmap� mode, there is always one empty page before the report body.
It seems that in spite of the fact that format triggers in header section returns FALSE, the page with the header section is still represented in the report.
Does anybody know how we can avoid this problem with Report Builder 6.0.8.22.0.

1)When you are using runtime (rwrun60, rwcli60 etc) please give the command line parameter "blankpages=no". This will suppress the blankpages. Please refer docs for details on this parameter.
2) Just to rule out this possibility.. Please ensure that in the header page and its margin there are no 'hidden' items like a textbox with whitespace etc.
Thanks

Repeating Header and Footer on each page in Sub-Report

Post Author: Jimbob
CA Forum: General
I am formatting a report that has subreports. I can get the header on every page, but the footer only appears on the last page.
How do I get a header and footer to print on each page of the subreport?
Thanks for any help!

Post Author: Guy
CA Forum: General
Hi,
You should add a first level of grouping in your subreport on a fake formula field with a constant value. Put your header and footer information in this group header and footer. In the group option make sure to check the "repeat group header on each page option".
This group will act as a page header + footer within your subreport.
good luck!

First page appears blank when viewing a Crystal Report in the web viewer

I have seen threads and KB articles regarding this issue but the suggested solutions do not correct the issue. (KB articles [1423482 and 1439109)
The issue only started after upgrading from CR 2008 runtime to CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
When the page containing the viewer control first loads, the report pane is completely blank.
The viewer toolbars appear as expected, and the report can be exported using the Export button on the viewer toolbar without issue.
Changing the zoom level causes the first page of the report to appear as expected, and reverting the zoom level does not cause the report pane to become blank again.
Navigating to the next page of the report works and the second page appears as expected. Returning to the first page shows the first page of the report as expected.
Our application is installed on dozens of servers but this issue only has occurred on a few installations at this time.
Steps attempted to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime, confirm the CrystalReportViewers12 folders were removed from the folders C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0, then reinstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
2. Ensure there are no underscores in the server name.
3. Change the crystalreportsviewers12 Virtual Directory to use the folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12
4. Remove and recreate the crystalrep[ortviewers12 Virtual Directory.
5. Replace the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12 folder from a server that does not exhibit the issue.
Any new ideas or suggestions? Thanks
