Blank page at beginning of report

I have a Crystal Report where, in the Section Expert, I have told it to create a new page after every "details" section. This is working great for the design of my report. However, the first page of the report shows the page header and is blank.
Any way to get rid of this blank first page but maintain a new page after the details section?
Thanks.

Hi,
Use this OnLastRecord and PageNumber = 1 in Formula editor for new page after every "details" section.
Recheck 'Print at Bottom of Page' in common tab for new page after every "details" section.
Check 'Keep Together' in common tab for new page after every "details" section.
See how the results displayed...

Extra Blank page in XML Publisher report

Hi,
I am getting extra blank page in XML publisher report.
The RTF has two pages and each page has one table.These two tables will be populated with data based on some if condtion.
eg:
In RTF:
for each Header
if PMA='Y' THEN
Table1 data in 1st page
end if;
pageBreak
IF OTC='Y' then
Table2 data in 2nd page
END IF;
end for each
And also another issue is: The data is starting from the same page instead of new page.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks,
Srinivas

I tried split-by-page-break also,but still its not resolved.
Today I have noticed one thing: When generating this report locally,then there is no blank page coming.But when generating from APPS then blank page is coming.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

How to avoid blank page in xml publisher report

hi,
i have a xml report, it shows 7 rows in one page. the question is: if there are just 7 rows , when previews with pdf, it will generate 2 pages, the first page shows 7 rows, and the second page is blank.
anyone can help?
you can get the rar file that contains the .rtf and then .xml file at this site: [http://www.4shared.com/file/azhdqCp_/DELIVERY.html]

I am running a report in xml publisher. The output of the report prints 2
pages, one page with correct report output and other page is a blank page
with header details.
I want to avoid this blank page. Is there something wrong? Please help to fix this issue!Is the issue with this specific XML Publisher report only?
Do you have all the patches in (Overview of Available Patches for Oracle XML Publisher embedded in the Oracle E-Business Suite [ID 1138602.1]) applied? -- Search for "blank page".

Blank page at end of report

Hi,
I'm getting a blank page at the end of a report.
The problem is something like this.
I have 2 queries,main query Q1 and child query Q2. Q1 returns the dept information and Q2 the employees of that department.
I do not want to display the dept info if there are no employees in that dept.
I have created a format trigger for the main repeating frame to take care of this.
But the problem now is I'm getting a blank page at the end of the report.
Any help appreciated.
TIA

* In previewer , the parameter blankpages=NO has no effect , because this parameter is mainly intended as a paper saving mechanism . This is the expected behaviour .
( I assume you are using 9i here )
* For pdf output blankpages=NO should suppress blankpages , but this is bug 2613988 for 9i . This bug has been fixed and you can expect the fix in the next patch set . If you cannot wait till then , please get in touch with Oracle Support and request for a one-off .
* If you are using 6i , this bug has been fixed and applying latest patch set should solve the issue .
Thanks

REPORT SERVER 6i Patch1 PRINTING BLANK PAGES

I have a problem that is occouring on three different report servers. It will start printing blank pages instead of the report and the only way to get it back to normal is to stop and reastart the service. I get this on a version 6, version 6i and version 6i patch1 report servers. It makes no difference what call method I use (command line or OCX control). I can also force this behavior on one of the servers by selecting a HP 895C as the default printer in the windows printers and then starting the service. All pages print blank after that. At the customers site it appears to be random as to when it will start printing the blank pages.
Any ideas on what the fix is for this?

Is there any ideas on this?
We have a Reports 6i server up and running and I'm getting stuff out OK to postscript printers, but some HP older printers are just spitting out blank pages. Is there a desformat= that I need to set differently? I've tried most of the options ( dec, psport, psland, hpl... all blank )
Appreciate any help, I haven't used this stuff long, so am quite naive about how it hangs together.

HI

3. Now generate the same report in pdf.
4. Go to the first report again (html report) and try to go to the next page
(second page)by clicking on the forward arrow > at the bottom of the report.
I am invoking java to invoke reports

Hi Karen,
I would like to provide the document "Report Design: Best Practices and Guidelines " to you and hope it can provide some help.
Avoiding Blank Pages
Sometimes, you will see blank pages when you output reports to a physical page format such as PDF or print. Generally, this will happen when the size of the report body exceeds
the size of the page. To ensure that all the contents fit on a single page, the body width plus the margins should be less than the defined page width. A textbox or other report item can cause the width of the body to exceed the page width, even when the portion
of the item that exceeds the width has no visible contents. In addition, report items growing horizontally (matrix data regions and images set to automatically Autosize or Fit) can also cause the body to grow.

SSRS 2008 Report with two tablix have extra blank pages

I am working on a report in SSRS 2008 that has two tables (or tablices?). My report is set to a width of 11 and height of 8.5, left and right margins of 0.25, top and bottom margins of 0.5. Paper size is Letter, Orientation is landscape.
With margins accounted for, I basically have 10.5 of workspace for the Body. The first tablix's width is way under 10.5 but the second tablix has lots of columns and would have to span two pages so the Body goes past 10.5 but I
kept it under 22 (twice one page). I put a PageBreak after the first tablix. When I run the report and do a Print Layout, the first tablix prints with a blank page after every printed page of that table. The second tablix prints just fine, no extra
blank pages in between. So I suspect that it is the "empty space" to the right of the first tablix, which is caused by the second tablix's width, that is the problem.
However when I tried to switch the tables in my report and have the wider tablix print first and the narrower tablix print after it, I did not get any extra blank pages on both; the reports prints just fine.
Unfortunately, I cannot have the wider tablix print first with the report I need. I would like to know if this is a bug in SSRS 2008? It appears that there is something with the order report objects are printed and their size. Has anyone figured this out
yet? Thanks.

I found
this post on the MSDN forum that offers the following solutions that worked for a few people responding to that thread. You might want to try one of these:
"I found the problem cause. In Reporting Services, report body width must be <= (report width - report margins width).I reduced the margins to zero width, and the pagination problem disappeared!"
"I have solved my problem. With SSRS you must be very careful with the way you place objects
Growing objects will push those on their right, even if they are not on the same line /!\
Consider a textbox 2 inches large centered, and a growing matrix beneath it. on the left, 1 inch large. At run time the matrix will grow and the title will be pushed aside. And this may cause blank pages.
A workaround is to create 1 rectangle per object. The rectangle should occupy all the body space available while objects occupy only a part of their embedding rectangle."

Blank page in report designer

In my report designer, I have two sections. In the last row of section 1, I have a "page break after" checked. And in section 2 first row, I have "page break before" checked. Due to this I am getting a blank page between section 1 and 2. However, if I remove the "page break before" from section 2, it tries to print both sections on the same page. How can I remove the blank page without messing the report?

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Issues after upgrading to SP2 mm: Blank page first page.

Hello, ever since upgrading to mm sp2 on .net 2008 I been having an issue. I created a new project and everything done by the books. When I run the report through the browser everything initially seems normal, it asks for input parameters then login info. When the report is ready to be displayed, the page is blank but has all the Crystal toolbars and such. If i were to perform an action like hit the zoom button, the report will magically be displayed! It seems the viewer has an issue initially rendering the report until I hit something on the toolbar like the zoom button. I just zoom in 100% and the report displays! Anyone have this issue and know how to resolve it?
If I were to export this blank page to PDF, the report will be displayed on the PDF correctly. just strange.
Thanks in advanace.

Copy the CrytalReportViewers12 folder from your development computer to the \aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 in the IIS default website.
If you are using ReportRefresh, comment that out.
Try a different Browser like Firefox.
Are you browsing from the work station or from the Server? Can you try it from the Server?
Try a new test app. Run a saved data report (Crviewer1.reportsource). Do not use sessions or postbacks. Does this test app work?

How to suppress blank page and selection criteria in SPOOL ?

My Z program submits two programs to spool and converts the ABAP List in the spool to PDF and emails.
After upgrade to ECC6, the first (a report painter report) resulting PDF there was one blank page and the contents were displayed on second page. For the second report (RKPEP003 - CJI3) the selection criteria that the report used was printed as the first page of output and the result on a subsequent page. The same thing happens when I individually execute these two reports directly in SE38 with the same selection criteria. I believe the blank page is there in the spool because when I view the spool as a RAW, there is a P in the first column, however the spool shows that there is only one page in the first and two in the second (this is true - one for selection criteria "which I don't want" and then the actual content). In 46C, when I look at the RAW view of the spool there is no additional P's in the first column.
I do not want to have the blank page on the first report and the selection criteria listed on the output of the report. How can I do that ? I am thinking get_print_parameters can in someway get me there, but I am not sure.
Thanks
Hari

The first report painter program writes a regular ABAP list.
The second outputs an ALV.

How to set page setup in ssrs report level

Hi All,
Can any one suggest pls.
I have a SSRS report which has 50 column data.
When i am exporting it to PDF its giving me 20 pages.How can i make it in 2-3 page max.
Please suggest and also when i am exporting to excel it looks fine but when printing it its giving me two page.How can it fit to 1 page in excel
pls help.

Hi i_pr,
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), it is designed to use 2 different rules in pagination: Physical pagination and Logical pagination. Physical pagination is used to the print control and the TIFF and PDF rendering extensions. It is controlled by the
PageSize properties.
If we want to use 2-3 pages to display these data, we can modify the PageSize to work around the issue. However, if we print the report, it maybe truncated. Because the limit of print paper. Did you get the extra blank page when you export report to PDF?
If so, please refer to the following thread to reduce the pages.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrisbal/archive/2006/08/10/694892.aspx
In SSRS, if we have no page break in the report, we will get these data in one page when we export the report to Excel. The print layout is relate to paper size. Alternatively, we can adjust the report in Excel to work around the issue.

Too many blank page

Hi All,
I created a report that consists of only a crosstab. When I check the report in Preview mode, I see lots of blank page..
Actual report is 1 or 2 pages, but in the navigation toolbar, i see about 700 pages!
Why it is like that and how can I remove those blank pages?
Regards
Ozan

Did you suppress the details section ?

Blank page at the beginning of the report

I have a Report with a Group Above. I wanted a new page when a new Group began, so I selected the Group and changed Page Break Before to yes. It did start a new page with each Group, BUT there is now a blank page at the beginning of the report. How do I get rid of the blank page?
Thanks, Wayne

Hi Wayne,
I don't know whether the solution provided by Jrg works for you or not. But I solved the problem in a different way.
Insted using a page break on a repeating frame, I placed a boilerplate item in a corner just below the frame with a " "(white space) and I set the boilerplace item's property "Page Break After/Before" to "Yes". You understand me? just cheating ;)
That worked for me.
Cheers,
Gouri Sankar
