Conditionally Suppressed Page Footer - Blank Space

I am working on a purchase order (PO) form. A PO may be one or more pages. I have two page footers. The first one is conditionally suppressed if pagenumber = 1. The second is conditionally suppressed if pagenumber > 1. However, while the objects within the suppressed page footer are not visible, the entire blank page footer space remains reserved., creating unnecessary and unusable white space after page one.
I am somewhat familiar with this problem. I have experimented with different techniques such as conditionally suppressing each object rather than the entire section, and then choosing Suppress Blank Section for that section.
I have also read SAP BO Notes 1212488.
This seems like a serious problem. Many standard multipage forms require special language (such as legal terms) that appear only at the bottom of the first page.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Art

Salah,
I tried your suggestion. It did not help, but perhaps I am doing something wrong.
Here is how I have set it up:
Page Footer a
Contains a text object 1 inch tall.
Also contains print date and page n of m
Entire section is 1.5 inches tall.
Conditionally Suppressed if pagenumber > 1
Underlay Folllowing Sections is checked on
Page Footer b
Contains only page n of m
Entire section is 0.5 inches tall
Conditionally Suppressed if pagenumber = 1
Results:
Page 1 prints correctly.
Page 2 and on .... PFa is suppressed as intended
However, page n of m appears about 1.5 inches above bottom of page
In Design, I tried reversing PFa and PFb to see if that matters. It does not.
I hope you or someone else has othre suggestions.
I think I will try placing the large text object into a subreport.
Thanks,
Art

Conditional Suppression Page Header

My report contains one subreport placed in RFb. The data in the subreport is unrelated to the data in the primary report, so each report requires its own set of column headers. When printed, the subreport requires at least several page. Subreports have no page header section. In my subreport the column headers are placed in the RH section of the subreport, but these headers do not show up after the first page of the subreport. In addition, the headers in the primary report appear in the subreport, though they are inappropriate.
To workaround this problem I placed the primary report headers into PHa and the subreport headers into PHb, both in the Primary report. I want to use conditional formatting (suppression) to control the appearance of these headers WhilePrintingRecords.
The objective is to suppress PHb until the SECOND page of the subreport. (The subreport has a title page, so that MUST be the first section on page 1 of the subreport). PHa is suppressed AFTER the primary report is done. The last section in the primary report is RFa (or is it? See below).
Using Basic syntax I placed the following formula into RFa of the Primary report.
'Determine last page of Primary report.
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
Formula = nLastPgSec1
However, I have found that the value of nLastPgSec1 increments by one as each page of the subreport is printed. The only way this can occur is if RFa of the primary report is evaluated with each page, even though the subreport is placed in RFb.
I know this is probably difficult to follow without a visual of the design.
Can anyone tell me how to control the conditional formatting to accomplish what I need?
Thanks,
Art

After a night's sleep I saw my problem. The solution was to set the value of nLastPgSec1 by placing it in the DETAILS section of the primary report (not a report footer). The formula is:
WhilePrintingRecords
Global nLastPgSec1 As Number
If OnLastRecord Then
nLastPgSec1 = PageNumber
End If
Formula = nLastPgSec1

Removing extra space in page footer after conditional suppression

Hi,
I have two page footers. One of them is conditionally suppressed, the other is always present. When the conditionally suppressed page footer is present, the other footer appears above it. But when the conditionally suppressed page footer is being suppressed, the other footer should occupy the bottom of the page. Instead, it appears that, despite the suppression of the page footer, there is still space reserved at the bottom of the page for it. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi,
So, you have a 'PageFooter a' and 'PageFooter b'. The conditional suppression logic has been applied on Footer b. When Footer b is suppressed, you wish to 'push' the Footer a section down to where Footer b would appear?
Well, when Footer a is suppressed, Footer b takes its place, however it is not the same when the last Page Footer section is suppressed as there is nothing that can take its place and Footer a is already showing up where it should be!

How to supress page footer conditionally

Hi All,
I need report with structure like below
Page header
Report header 1a
Report header 1b
Report header 1c
Detail
Report footer 1a
Report footer 1b
Report footer 1c
Page footer
There are few details in the Page Footer and is repeating in each page.
Now I want to suppress Page Footer when ever Report Footer 1c is displayed.
How can I do that ?
Looking for your help.
Thanks,

Put the following formula on the detail format (basic syntax):
WhilePrintingRecords
global showFooter as string
showFooter = "show"
formula = ""
Place the following formula on Report Footer 1c format:
WhilePrintingRecords
global showFooter as string
showFooter = "suppress"
formula = ""
Suppress the page footer on
WhilePrintingRecords
global showFooter as string
formula = ( showFooter = "suppress" )

Page footer absolute position issue - Crstal Reports

Hi,
I have a page footer section in the crystal report.
There are 2 sections Page footer A and Page footer B.
Here I am displaying Page Footer A in the first page and Page Footer B on all the pages.
Here the issue is, as I applied a suppress condition on page footer A in order to display only on frist page. This is working fine. But in the second page the page footer B is displayed a bit above the end of page as the page footer A is suppressed.
Can we set absolute position for page footer B? So that, the page footer B will be displayed at the same way in all the pages as like the first page.
Thankyou,
Regards
Gowtham Sen.

Hi All,
The issue got resolved. I used the option underlay. It worked well.

Blank Spaces in the report

Hi My Report has some columns which has the option as "Can Grow" so that when the returned value from the database is more that one line it can accomdate the data in the field.The problem i am facing is that when the records are printed in the pages and when the next record is unable to fit in the remaning section of the report it automatically pushes to the next page. In this scenario the previous page has blank space after the next record is printed.Is there way that i can suppress this balnk space and force teh record to be printed in the same page and when the page is over it follows in the next page.Thanks in Advance Moa

My problem was that I wanted to display several lines in a total field: order amount, minimum charge, delivery charge and tax. When any of them was zero, I needed to hide it without leaving a big gap. Here was the solution: Create a textbox. Set the textbox's "Suppress blank lines in embeded fields" property. Instead of using database field (for example, table.fieldValue) and a label, create a formula that says: <blockquote>If isNull{table.fieldValue} then "" else "Value:" + Chr(9) + ToText({table.fieldValue}) </blockquote>I placed a tab in this formula to space it out. Add tab stops (one left-aligned, one decimal) to your textbox, and drag the formula into it (embed) instead of the database field. Add the other fields to the textbox as well, separating fields by adding carriage returns. Bingo. The field and the line will disappear when there is no data. I hope this helps.

Blank space between Detail section and Page Footer - How to remove it ?

below is the problem.
We make report as followspage header Section details
Employee Information
Report Footer
Page Footer
Other Information
whenever we run this crystal report it leaves space in between after employee information (Detail Section) and before Page Footer.We don't know its a problem of footer or any other else.
When i preview and print out the reports
it showing Detail section 10 Rows (which satisfying condition) and then Blank space and then at the bottom of page shows Page Footer (which contain 2 subreports).
Let me know if you need aditional information on this.
pls provide suggestions.

Try with this
1. Suppress any unused sections in both sureports and in the mainreport.
2. Check all the fields fits the sections. Select all the fields in the section and give align top and make all the fields of same height and make it fit to the section.
Hope this solves your problem.

When I Conditional Supress the page footer. It occupy space in report

I am designing Crystal report with multiple page footers.Initially I have suppressed all page footer. Each page footer is un suppressed against a specific Test Id (db Field). I have done this with formula for each page footer.
The problem is when Page footer is suppress it occupy space in report.
Provide solution plz.

Can you recreate the entire footer as a formula field? If so:
1. create the formula field using an if-then-else statement to poplulate the field:
WhilePrintingRecords;
IF PageNumber = 1
THEN 'text' + text data + (chr(9) + totext(numeric/date data) + chr(13) + 'text data' + etc...
Chr(9) = tab
Chr(13) = next line
2. Place the formula field in the page footer using as little space as possible.
3. Enable the formula field's "Can Grow" property.
4. You could try setting the formula fields conditional suppression to PageNumber <> 1. Not sure if this is necessary, but it can't hurt.
This may do the trick for you.

How do I clear the blank space between content and footer?

In the process of revising a Muse website, I deleted some content from one of the pages and revised the content that remained on the page. Now I have a blank area between the bottom of the revised content and the top of the footer, and I can't seem to get rid of the blank space. It doesn't appear that there are any text blocks or other images in that area, so I can't find any objects to delete. Help?
The website is currently published in a draft mode for client review. You can examine it at: http://page7creative.com/clients/coremove_jun2012draft/retreats.html. The page in question is the Retreats page. Restarting Muse made no difference. I work on the Mac platform.
Before I sent this post, I decided to try creating a new page, then copy/paste the content onto the new page, and save the Muse site under a different name. Lo and behold, the page (and the site) works like it should...without any extra space above the footer on that page. It would appear that something went astray when I deleted content on that page. I can use the new page to get the site working properly, but decided to go ahead and send this post so that you can look at the page code and perhaps see what is wrong that is causing the blank space...in case I ever run into this again.
Thank you.

Thanks for sending your file.
There is a graphic at the bottom of the content area of the Retreats page that's been cropped to a size of zero width and 2 pixels in width.
Unfortunately, there's a bug with pointer tool drag selection (aka marque selection) that prevents it from selecting an item that has zero width or zero height. Therefore the easiest way to select this item to delete it is to select any other item on the page, then hit the tab key repeatedly to cycle through every item on the page. When you get to this item you should see a little pile of selection handles at the left edge of the third column and right at the bottom of the content area. The width and height will display as zero and 2. Delete this item and the page will resize to fit the remaining content.

Before header pl/sql process creates blank space at top of page

Hi,
I'm finding that w/v 1.6.1 I get a blank space at the top of my page that appears to be somewhat proportional to the amount of code and/or # processes on that page that are before header. moving to after header and before regions also shows this behavior.
There are no blank line outputs happening in the pl/sql processes, so I've got no idea why htmldb is putting blank space there.
Anyone seen anything like this? Oracle 9.2.0.7, winxp pro
Thanks
matt

Hi,
I've had the same problem. I'm assuming that you have a region in the "After Header" position?
If so, you could add the following in the region's Region Header:
<div style="display:none">
and put this in the Region Footer:
</div>
The region is defined in a table, which by definition is a block object. Block objects always begin on a new line and end with a new line - the above will put the region into a div and then hide the div.

Andy

Blank space at bottom of page in FF

I was sent some code to put a CMS system behind.
But on testing the content on the div elements I have found I have blank space on the bottom of the page.
I know this is caused by position:relative;
but I thought using this was the correct way to display two divs side by side left and right column.
If I take it off the video on the right column goes off too far right.
I am testing on IE 8 and FF 3.5

How to get rid of blank space showing above my pages

Hi:
I built my site dyingforthetruth.com using Muse (thanks, it's pretty nifty!), following a video tutorial you provided.
I've ended up with a blank space showing above all pages, and much trying with the blue lines and rebuilding my header strip has NOT succeeded in fixing it.
Here's a snapshot of the top left part of the "main" master, showing the blue lines and the space at the top.
You can see what it looks like on the web by going to the site URL (dyingforthetruth.com).
Can you please tell me how to fix this. I find it a bit strange to see all my pages for this site coming up in all 5 browsers I've tried (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari) with a pronounced gap at the top of them all.
Thanks!

Go to Page> Page Properties and on the "Padding" section set "Top" to 0. That should do it.
If you are on a master page make sure that the top blue arrow is at 0. That arrow controls the top of page, and you need to have a padding of 0 for what you want.

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.
