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.

HOW TO ELIMINATE BLANK PAGES IN REPORTS?

Sep 11, 2002 13:07 PT
I'am having troubles with reports, i have design a report that has 2 sql, so there are 2 layouts in the report, the first one has many columns so I put it in 2 pages wide but the second sql is only four columns, so it is in just 1 page wide, my problem is when the report is printed the first pages are printed but when the data from the second sql begins i have one page printed then one left blank, the check box that indicates blank pages is uncheked, but the blank pages still remain printed, if anybody has the solution please let me know
tnx
pd. I'm working with report builder 6.0.8.12.1

Use the commandline parameter BLANKPAGES=NO. This will suppress blank pages when you generate to file and print.

Blank page in report o/p and o/p notprinted when contains multiple pages

Dear Friends,
I am facing couple of issues while modifying an existing report
1. First page of the report is Blank
2. Report output is not printed when the output contains multiple pages.
Currently, along with the data, the report prints the output format in the first page and some totals in the last page.
The requirement is that we do not want these first and last pages.
For this, i made the following modifications to the report.
In the Layout Model,
*1. Under the body of Header section, we have a repeating frame which is printing the output format that comes out as report first page.*
Both Horizontal and Vertical Elasticity are set to Fixed and below is the code in the format trigger on this repeating frame.
function R_HEADER_PAGESFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :p_header_pages = 0
then return(false);
else return(true);
end if; return (TRUE);
end;I modified this format trigger to always return false as shown below
begin
return false; --statement added by me
if :p_header_pages = 0
then return(false);
else return(true);
end if; return (TRUE);
end;*2. Under the Body of Trailer section, we have a main frame which prints summary information.*
Both Horizontal and Vertical Elasticity are set to Fixed and below is the contents of the Format trigger on this frame
function M_CONTROL_GRPFRFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :report_term_count > 0
then return(true);
else return(false);
end if; return (TRUE);
end; I have modified this trigger to always return False as shown below
function M_CONTROL_GRPFRFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
return false; --statement added by me
if :report_term_count > 0
then return(true);
else return(false);
end if; return (TRUE);
end;When i run the report after doing these modifications, i am facing the above mentioned problems.
Any idea on why a blank page is coming out before the actual data?
Also when the report output contains multiple pages, the output is not printed. Any idea on this?
Regards,
Sreekanth

Hi InoL,
I have tried by setting vertical elasticity to variable but the blank plage is still coming in the output.
Also, i am just wondering that blank page is not shown for the trailer page even though the Horizontal and Vertical Elasticty is set to Fixed.
Could you please let me know if you have any idea on this?
+InoL Wrote:+
+And this didn't happen before you made the changes to the format triggers?+ Sorry for not mentioning that this happens when i delete the entire fields and frames in Header section.
Setting the Vertical Elasticy of Header to False and returning false in Format trigger still prints the blank page in addition to the actual data pages.
I have also tried setting the option BLANKPAGES=NO in the concurrent program execution options but still the blank page is not suppressed.
Regards,
Sreekanth

Insert blank page into report after odd page

I'm trying to get my report to insert a blank page at the end of each invoice if the invoice is an odd number of pages. We're looking to start printing two-sided invoices and need each invoice to be able to be mailed to the customer. I already have New Page after on the report footer and that works, but if I have a 3 page invoice, I need it to have a blank page as page 4 (without a page number). Page numbers are also being reset for each invoice if that matters. This is using Crystal Reports 10.

Hi
You can try the below:
- Open section expert.
- Select the section after which you need a new page.
- Click on Paging Tab.
- Put the below formula in X-2 for New page after:
PageNumber mod 2 =0;
- Save and close the formula editor.
- Click on Ok.
You can also apply some suppresion condition as per requirement.
Hope this helps!!

Blank page in report

I created an application in VB.NET 2010 that launches a report in CR2010.
In VS2010 when launching the report displays fine but on the distribution server (Windows 2008 R2, Web Edition 64-bit with IIS 7), the report is displayed with a blank page. I installed the 64bit runtime package (CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip). This is the code that runs the report:

The BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeycodeDecoder.dll issue is well documented in these forums as well as the Kbase and is of no consequence here, or with any other issue.
I think language issues are getting in the way on us here as we are interpreting your description quite differently than what you are trying to say. At this point in time, I am not suer if you are even seeing the viewer(?). E.g.; do you at least get the viewer toolbar?
I'd recommend looking at a web sample app or two, deploying one of these and see how it works. Deploying a web app that uses a viewer as well as one that does not use a viewer may be a good idea. Samples can be downloaded from here;
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
Looking at the following two articles may also help;
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0437ea8-97d2-2b10-2795-c202a76a5e80
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a
While the issues described in the above articles are not identical to what you are experiencing, it will give you an idea on how the CR viewer behaves and how it needs to be configured (particularly pay attention to non default web site setup). The articles also do not cover CRVS2010, but as you will see from reading the articles, the pattern is pretty self explanatory - no matter the version of CR.

Render blank page in report

Hi,
I am designing a report that displays page number in page footer. The report only has 4 data rows that spans half a page. When I export the report in Excel format, two pages are created with page one has data and blank footer and page two has no data and "Page 1 of 1" in footer. If there is only one page of data, why are two pages rendered? How come page one has blank footer and page 2 has incorrect page number?
Thanks.

Hi,
While exporting it to excel format you get option for exporting.
In page range section specify only one page and check it.
There is an option export page header and footer you can specify either for once per report or
Once per page Try this and let me know the result.
Hope this helps you.

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.

Create a blank page without custom master page applied,left navigation,top navigation

hi,
i am having a requirement where in i need to a show a report- which is actually a 3rd party tool's custom web part -. this web part is a report which has lot of metadata. so customer doesnt want to see the custom master page
or left navigation, top navigation, right nav in this page.
is it possible to achieve a blank web part page that doesnt have custom master page applied- i mean this page should not inherit the my custom master page- and just add the custom web part here.
help is appreciated!
Das

Hi
3 ways.
1.use a blank page using sharepoint designer
2. remove applied master page for an existing page
3 use &isdlg=1 on your URL ( to hide the top of the master page elements )

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

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.

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.

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.

Newbie question on report design for multiple pages - HELP!

I am upgrading an existing accounting program to use Crystal reports. The accounting program generates account statements for our investors. Each account needs to have 1 statement (which typically is only 1 page long).
I have a table that has 1 record per activity per account. Every account has a unique code and the report is set to group records by this code. Therefore, an account can have 1+ records associated with it that need to be displayed in the details section.
To test my report I have 4 records in my table -- 2 records for account code 'ABCD' and 2 records for account code 'WXYZ'. The report correctly groups the records together and summarizes the necessary information, but it DOES NOT create a page break.
I don't understand what else I need to do in the designer to force it to create a new page everytime the account code changes... It's basically a mail-merge type functionality that I am looking for!
Any help is appreciated.
SG

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

There is something "deeper" happening here (unless you're using dome old version of IIS (v. 6, etc.))... I think logging the app will help. I'd use Process Monitor first - see if you get any "Access Denied" messages. An http sniffing utility like Fiddler may also provide useful info.

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.

Html report shows blank page if pdf report is also generated

Steps to reproduce
1. Generate any html report with multiple pages.
2. The first page of the report will be shown.
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.
