Forced page break:  space

When I insert a forced page break, the text moves to the next page but there's roughly a 1-M space before it -- in the middle of a sentence.
If I force the text back to occupy the unwanted space, the space simply moves to the end of the text on the preceding page.
I am guessing there's a setting that's instructing the text to observe X amt. of white space after a forced page break?  If yes, where would that live?
Nothing in Help, nothing searching forums...
thx in advance

Yes, I do, and I now understand that's the cause of the unwanted indent.  I guess what puzzles me is that once I've adjusted the text at the top of the new page, the text at the bottom of the old page has a chunk taken out at far right.  I.e., I guess the insertion of a page break disables the style's instruction to fully justify.
I can go back and fix it, but I'm not sure why I should have to.
Sigh.
Thanks, Peter

I wish I had an answer for that. I'll try to get some research done over the weekend, but no promises. I have a long service call today, and I have to clean out my basement.

  • Page break for Smartform with multiple main window on pages

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement for printing 3 pages. The difference among the 3 pages is the main window part.
    The main window contains not only internal table, also complicated texts like payment instructions etc.
    The requirement is in each page, the data in internal table should be changed, also payment instruction should be changed accordingly.
    e.g:
    Main Window of Page 1
    Part 1 for Internal table
    VAT on ITEM ------- 4O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
    Part 2 for Payment Instructions
    Texts for Page 1
    Main Window of Page 2
    Part 1 for Internal table
    VAT on ITEM ------- 5O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
    Part 2 for Payment Instructions
    Texts for Page 2
    Main Window of Page 3
    Part 1 for Internal table
    VAT on ITEM ------- 6O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
    Part 2 for Payment Instructions
    Texts for Page 3
    At first, I was using only one page 'Page1' with a variable page_no = 1 as default value, and use program line page_no = page_no + 1 as counter. when page_no = 2, use command for force page break to 'Page1', then under the command, change the internal table and payment instruction texts. when page_no = 3, ...
    But I encountered an error saying:
    Runtime Errors         GEN_BRANCHOFFSET_LIMIT_REACHED
    Short text
         Jump distance is too large and cannot be generated.
    So I created 3 pages, with different main window M_window1, M_window2, M_window3 for each page. In page1, after printing the M_window1, page_no = 2, use command to go to page2, but page2 is never printed. I think this is because only one main window can exist in a smartform? but why smartform allows creating individual main window for different pages? what's the use of such main window?
    By the way, what's the use of command for force page break? only work for one main window in a smartform?
    Getting back to my requirement, I think I should still use one page and command for page break. I am trying to solve this.
    Thanks.
    Li Jun Da.

    Now I am using 3 pages: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
    Page 2, Page 3 are copies of Page 1 with main window renamed as second window: mw 2, mw 3.
    I also created 2 command nodes in main window of page 1: cmd 2, cmd 3.
    cmd 2 is for page break to Page 2, cmd 3 is for page break to Page 3.
    The second window mw 2, mw 3 in Page 2, Page 3 can be displayed.
    Even though, I still can't understand how main window of pages (not 1st page) can work.

  • HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

    Hello,
    My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
    We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
    We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
    There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
    <A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
    <A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
    Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
    I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
    Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
    Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
    header1
    header2
    header2
    header1
    header1
    header2
    Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
    Please excuse my English.
    I am looking forward to your response,
    Lucas

    Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

  • "Space Before" Paragraph after Page Break

    Hello,
    Here is what I am observing : the "Space Before" setting for paragraph styles is ignored if the paragraph is placed after a page break or on a disconnected page. How do I force InDesign to honour my "Space Before" setting ?
    I give you an example : I've created a paragraph style called "Big Title". I've applied this style to section titles and to the index title. I want to lower "Big Title" a few centimeters from the page top, but my "Space Before" setting is ignored. What to do ?

    You can force space above a paragraph by creating a non-printing character in the first line of the paragraph, or above it. Two possibilities:
    * Add a reference-page frame above paragraph to the paragraph format, using the Advanced panel of the paragraph designer.
    * Add autonumbering to the paragraph. Set the autonumber format character to a thin space. Create a character format for the autonumber; set its point size tall enough to create the space above. This has the gotcha of indenting the first line by the width of the thin space.
    For either of these solutions, check that the space above setting for the format doesn't upset your workaround; if necessary, change the space above to let the workaround manage it.

  • How to force a page break if report is only one page long

    Hi all.
    I've been asked to ensure an XMLP report is always 2 pages long, even if the data fits on one page. Does anyone know if it is possible with the Word Add-in to check if a report is only 1 page long and get it to force a page break for the extra page?
    Thanks for your time,
    Joy

    Hello Joy,
    We are working on a bi report that has duplex printing and facing the issue in skipping an extra page when printing multiple people at the same time.
    Please let us know did you already have a solution for this.
    Thanks in advance for your time and solution.

  • How to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to insert a non-breaking space in a reference page? I want to control the TOC numbering so that page numbers don't break at the hyphen:
    In my reference page, I have the following TOC definition:
    <$paratext> <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>
    Replacing the hyphen with \+ doesn't seem to work.
    Thanks!
    Sue

    Sue,
    The sequence \+ is used in dialog boxes. Try typing the nonbreaking hyphen as
    Esc hyphen h
    Press the keys in sequence. Do not hold the Esc key down while you type the others.
    A nonbreaking space is
    Esc space h
    OR
    Control+space
    Hope this helps,

  • How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.

  • How to force print  page breaks (line feeds) in printed documents

    setup:
    Illustrator CS4
    Windows 7
    I've created a longish document of various pieces of text in 2 diffeent fonts.  No graphics.
    Can I insert linefeeds into the document where I want page breaks when it is printed? If so, what is the technique.
    I come from linux/unix background where one can insert a Ctrl+L (line feed) to cause the printer to start a new page
    at that point.
    I got many hits on a search of this forum on `line feed' but those I browsed didn't really get to the question I'm asking.
    Its a little confusing too because it appears from some of the hits that a line feed is different on windows and even does
    something different.
    Or if that isn't the right approach, how can I make the long document print out in some sensible way?
    I'm using a common inkjet printer (epson R800)

    Can I insert linefeeds into the documentwhere I want page breaks when it is printed? If so, what is the technique.
    This is why I mentioned art boards. A new line or line feed is created when you hit the enter or return key. (I mention both keys as i do not know whether you have a mac or PC though I am leaning to pc since you mention linux/unix.
    You should find the folowing link will tell you everything you need to know about artboards.

  • How can I remove Page Break Views?

    This is driving me nuts -- I'm just trying to write basic text, and yet, for some reason, Pages forces me to view a page as if it's a real piece of paper. As I'm writing, and come to the end of the page, there's two inches of white space from the end of the last sentence on the page to the start of the first sentence on the next page.
    I find this distracting . . . I'm trying to type a sentence and I don't need to have a massive visual break interrupting the flow of writing. I can't find any way to turn off this view. Not that I want to, but why can't I type one continuous paragraph that could span multiple pages -- without being limited to the freakin' "page" metaphor of viewing?
    I'm so frustrated with this that I think I'm going to have to go back to using MS Word. I'm trying hard to learn Pages, but when I have to knuckle down and write, I'm constantly getting interrupted by the page breaks. While I might be able to train myself to ignore the page break, each time I get to the bottom of a page, I effectively lose two inches of vertical space, which means I can't see as much text above and below what I've just written. It's maddening!
    Does anyone have any solutions? Or is this just an astounding oversight on the part of Apple development?
    I can manually reduce the margins, but I still get the big gray line separating pages at least a vertical inch of separation, plus, if I send the document to anyone else who might want to print it, I have to remember to change the margins back.
    Right now, I'm leaving Pages and finishing my project in MS Word. Please help me come back to Pages! . . . .

  • Page breaks in (html) printed apex report

    I am having a strange problem that appears to be related to APEX page template.
    I have a report that is html generated by a PL/SQL function. I need to have page breaks in the printed report at specific locations. I am adding this style to the html output of the function:
    <STYLE>
    DIV.pageBreak { page-break-before: always; }
    </STYLE>
    and I insert this at the locations I need breaks:
    < D I V CLASS="pageBreak"/>
    (without the spaces in DIV)
    (found this technique here: http://www.unagibay.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=100&itemid=1821 )
    This works perfect when I run the report in IE, but FireFox is "ignoring" the page breaks. However, if I take just the output of the PL/SQL function in an html doc, FireFox works fine (breaks at the proper places). This makes me believe something related to the "page wrapper" content generated by APEX causes FireFox to not handle the breaks.
    I have tried copying and editing the Popup and Printer Friendly page templates, but I either remove too much and the page doesn't render, or the page breaks don't work.
    My questions for the APEX gurus are:
    1. Is there an "approved" way to get page breaks in the printed version of an APEX report, or is there a better way to do what I need to do.
    2. What is the minimum contents for a page template (what can I safely remove).
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hi Owen,
    the page breaks are inserted before/after the section.  Expand the report structure window and make sure that the properties window is open below.  Once you click on the section part, you will see where you can insert the page breaks - the check boxes will appear in the properties.
    yes on the second part - just insert the page break between the data providers and then repeat the header for the data provider on the pages (also check boxes on the properties tab)
    Good luck

  • Page break in between group and subreport

    I have created a report with one group based on the customer order number.   We want the user to be able to run a range of customers orders. For example, print 10 customer orders at one time.  The group pulls the required information for each
    customer order.   After each customer order,  I have a sub-report that is a pallet pick sheet.   We want a page break after each group, so the sub-report prints on a separate page. It goes like this
    customer order 137158 detail - 1st iteration of the group.
    page break
    sub-report pallet pick sheet for 137158 - starts on a new page.
    page break
    customer order 137159 detail starts on a new page. - 2nd iteration of the group.
    page break
    sub-report pallet pick sheet 137159 - starts a new page.  
    I would really appreciate if someone can help solve this issue.  I've spent over half a day reading forums and trying different solutions, and every attempt at adding page breaks seems to be ignored.   I'm working with SSRS 2012. 
    Jeff

    I had the company logo and a title outside of the data tablix.   When I moved these into the list table, the issue with the additional white space was resolved.   At this point, we have resolved the page break and the extra white space
    on the report.   I have one more issue.  
    On the main report, I have two parameters for starting customer order number and ending customer order number.   I created the same parameters on the sub-report.  When I run the report, I enter a range of 139818 to 139824.   The
    main report which is the customer order information prints correctly.   However, instead of getting just the sub-report for the first order which is 139818,  I get a sub report for every order in the range.   Then, the main report
    prints order 139819, and then repeats the sub-report loop for every order.  So, each time the main report prints, I get 7 sub-reports.   How do I link the main report to the sub-report so there is a one to one match so only
    one sub-report is generated per customer order?    
    I really appreciate the help,
    Jeff

  • Page break on nested table

    Hi,
    I am getting blank page because of page break after nested table.
    When page is full with the records then because of nested table, it added one space after that.
    Has anyone faced this issue before?

  • Page break for a group and sub group based on page length

    Hi
    I have a requirement where in I need to develop a report which has the following requirement. I am attaching the sample xml and rtf files for reference:
    1) There are 3 groups in the Data Model. G1, G2 and G3. G1 contains G2 and G2 contains G3. I need to display that data in that order in the rtf template. Pretty straight forward.
    2) The tricky part, however, is that the report needs to have a page break on the following conditions:
        a) When the value of col1 changes which is in G1
        b) On col3 (in G2), but only when there is not enough space on the page to accommodate the values present in G3, ie col5 and col6 alongwith the values in G2. This means when the value of col3, which is present in G2, changes and if there is not enough space to accommodate G2 and G3 on the same page, it should break and start on a new page. The table which should come together is marked in grey color in the RTF template.
    What I have done till now to achieve this?
    I have created a parent table with two rows. In the second row I have made sure that the row doesn't break across pages. This is true for all the subsequent tables in the report. Now, in that second row, I have col1 in a nested table within a repeating group G1. Inside G1 there is a nested table for G2 and within G2 I have another table for the group G3. The row is not breaking across pages for all the tables that have been created.
    I have tried all the permutations and combinations of nested tables, keeping G1, G2 and G3 in the same table but different rows, having G1 in one table and nesting G2 and G3 in another, keeping G2 and G3 in a separate table altogether, Keeping G1, G2 and G3 all of them in the separate table. All of them are apparently not working.
    Is there anyway where we can either get hold of the current position of the cursor and the total number of rows on that page? Or any other solution that is possible? Or if I can have to make changes in the data model?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Sid

    Hello Sid,
    I have checked your report and XML Sample and you haven't linked the fields from XML Sample to your .rtf report.
    You can use <?for-each?> syntax for your groups to print the content.
