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

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.

I need a 3-inch top margin on the first page of my letter and a 1-inch top margin on subsequent pages. How can I do this?

This is so easy in Word but I have spent 2 hours trying to figure it out in Pages. To print on my boss' stationary I need a 3-inch margin on the first page and a 1-inch top margin on the subsequent pages. When I change the top margin on page 2 in Inspector, it changes the top margin on page 1 to 1-inch as well. In Word this is an intuitive, 2-step process.

Hi Dan,
Don't confuse "intuitive" with "what I'm used to."
Pages has "Document" margins, which apply to all pages of the document, and "Layout" margins, which may be set to provide additional margin space in a layout.
Start by setting the Document margins to 1" all around. This is the default setting for the (word processor) Blank templates. You can check it (and adjust it if necessary) in the Inspector. Open an Inspector window (View > Show Inspector). Choose the Document Inspector (first button).
Switch to the Layout Inspector (second button). Remember that you already have a 1 inch top margin, so to produce a 3 inch margin before the beginning of this layout, you'll need to set a 2 inch Layout margin "Before" the layout.
Hmmm... Depending what you're defining as 'steps' for the process in word, and considering that the document margins in Numbers are preset to 1" all around, this appears to be a 1-step process in Numbers:
Step 1: Set the "Before" Layout margin to 2 inches.
Done.

Unable to hide the first page in the form

Hi ,
I am trying to design a dynamic form that has three pages. The form is being used in a LiveCycle process and during the process initiation, only the second page should be visible and the first and third pages should be hidden. I am trying to hide the first and the third pages using JavaScript. I noticed that the third page is being hidden but the first page gets displayed as an empty page. Based on this behavior here are couple of questions I need guidance with
Can we hide the first page within a form? If so why am I seeing this inconsistent behavior when hiding the first and third pages?
If the first page can not be hidden then is there a workaround to achieve my goal of re-arranging the pages so that I can add content to the first page dynamically and shift the previous content on the first page to the second page?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Samanthapudi

Hi,
You've originally said.
in the first page i don't want data in main window...
yet using a command node to trigger the next page means you have to include a (presumably) empty main window in the first page.
Your main window has to contain some output (a table usually) and it's contents are the same on every page (only it's height can change). So, you can't have a blank main window on page 1 and a main window with data on pages 2 and 3.
Remove the main window from page 1, set page2 as the next page for page 1.
As for how to trigger page 3 you'll need to provide more detail on what the condition is. Do you want multiple copies of page 2 to hold all of the main window data, or just one? Do you want one copy of page 2 then the rest of the data on multiple copies of page 3. Be specific.

Nick

How do I put static text in a table on the first page only?

I need to include a small static table on the first page of a report only. A table expects to be tied to a dataset.
Is there a way to include a small static table on the first page without linking it to a dataset? Or a workaround?
Thanks.

Not show the header on the first page of a section

I am writing a manual that has about 7 chapters. Each chapter is its own section. I have been able to go in and create a header for each of these sections very easily. However, it's not quite clear how to NOT show the header on the first page of the section. For example, one of my sections is called "Personal Finances", so I have that in bold a the top of the page using Header 1. Because I have that, I don't also need "Personal Finances" showing in the top right corner in the header.
How can I make it so that it won't show on the first page of each section?
Thanks!

How can I make it so that it won't show on the first page of each section?
In the "Layout Inspector" under the "Section" tab, check the "First page is different" option while one of that section's pages is active/selected/displayed. Then add or delete the header as may be needed so that first page of section does not display the header and all other pages in the section do display. (I.e., what you specifically have to do here depends on whether or not you are already on the first page of the section when you make the change to the display "switch" and whether you are starting with a blank or non-blank header.)

Header not getting displayed in the next page in the second table

Dear Experts ,
I have a query regarding Header not getting displayed in the next page in the second table of the main window. .Let me elobrate the issue.
I have a smartform in which there are 2 tables TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 in the smartform MAIN window. TABLE 1 is for pending PO and TABLE 2 is for future delivery date P O separated by text in between.
Now the header for both the tables and the data are getting displayed properly if the total output is in only one page. But If there are more entries in the TABLE 1 the Header for the TABLE 2 is not getting displayed. Header for TABLE 1 yet gets displayed properly in the next page in case of more entries.
Only issue is that Header for TABLE 2 is not getting displayed in second page but it gets displayed if the entries are less in TABLE 1 and the total output is in one page .
Please provide a elobrate solution on this problem as the requirement is urgent.
Thanks,
Regards,
Sachin Hada

Display different header in the first page

I am displaying a table in the header (not an MS word header but header identified as something above <?start:body?> tag) of an rtf template. That table has 3 rows, I need to display one of those rows only in the first page and not in other pages.
I did not find any method on querying for the page number. So, I used a flag in the following manner: (Here, text with red color denotes RTF field). The following is what my RTF file looks like:
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
init_field
This is the row to be shown on all the pages
if_field
This row should only be shown on the first page.
end_if change_variable
<?start:body?>
other stuff
<?end body?>
Where,
init_field
<?if: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG')!='NONFIRST')?><?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG','FIRST')?><?end if?>
if_field
<?if: (xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG'))='FIRST'?>
end_if
<?end if?>
change_variable
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'FLAG','NONFIRST')?>
BUT, I still see all the rows in all the pages. It seems like the value of variable 'FLAG' is not preserved between different pages. To me, it seems like, header is generated once and same header is used in all the pages

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but why not just place the second line that needs to be on the first page only after the <?start:body?>
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
init_field
This is the row to be shown on all the pages
<?start:body?>
if_field
This row should only be shown on the first page.
end_if change_variable
other stuff
<?end body?>

How to display grand total only on the last page of my report

Hello
I need to display the grand total amount of the invoice only on the last page of every report. If the report has 1 page then the grand total will be displayed on the 1st page. If the report has 2 pages then a subtotal will be displayed on the 1st page adding up all the amounts on page 1 only, and the grand total will be displayed on the 2nd page, adding up all the amounts of page 1 and 2. If the report has 3 pages then the a subtotal will be displayed on page 1 adding up all the amounts of page 1, and another subtotal on page 2 adding up all the amounts of page 2, and the grand total are displayed on page 3 adding up the amounts of every page.
supplier amount
xx 100
yy 100
subtotal 200
page 1 of 2 --here i need to display only the total amounts of page 1
supplier amount
subtotal brought forward 200 --then i need to bring total of page 1 over to page 2
qq 300
zz 300
total 800 --here i have reached the end of the report and
need to display the grand total
page 2 of 2
--Currently i am displaying this on my report
supplier amount
xx 100
yy 100
total 800 --this one gives the problem cause it displays the grand total
---------- on page 1 of 2 even before you can see the amounts on the
next pages
page 1 of 2
supplier amount
qq 300
zz 300
total 800

put the grand total in a frame and set it to print on the last page of the enclosing object.

"Speed bump" problem: when previewing on the iPad, the first page of each new chapter or section sticks and loads slowly. How can I fix it?

I am building a book with text and photographs in iBooks Author, basing the design on my publisher's layout for the hard copy version. Whenever I introduce a new section or chapter, I hit a "speed bump" when previewing on the iPad. As you read, the first page of the new chapter or section is very hard to turn and sticks as it loads. Within each section the pages flow very easily, but when you reach the next section you hit another speed bump. I have experimented with many possible solutions to no avail. It does not seem to matter whether the new section has images or just text; the speed bump occurs regardless.

Joel Pickford wrote:
However, I am finding that using fewer sections with more content in them minimizes the problem (i.e. fewer section-transions means fewer speed bumps). This is contarary to the support page's suggestion of keeping chapters and sections smaller. I am not having any problem within each section, even with lots of full page photos.
That recommendation was made, presumably, to reduce the length of the delay for each chapter. More content in the chapter means more delay when changing chapters. Of course, if you have lots of little chapters, the delay can still be annoying because, even if only four or five pages in a chapter, the delay is still noticable. Just pick something that works for your book and don't worry too much about the delay. Your readers will be familiar with it if they've seen more than one IBA book.
Will the choice of color space, s-rgb or Adobe rgb 1998, affect file size?
Should I try to compress them more- say, level 5 or level 4 in Save For Web?
Should I size the images for the iPad 2 instead of the iPad 3 retina display, since there are more 2s out there?
Which color space you use does not affect file size. Apple recommend to use sRGB, so I would stick with that. As to compression and sizing, only you can decide. Try and borrow an iPad 2 to make a judgement at what level of compression and resolution you think the images start too look bad. Your high-rez images for the new iPad will be down-sampled for display on the older models, which will introduce additional artifacts.
For my book, I simply used images at 1024 x 768 resolution. When viewed on a new iPad, they look just fine. The lower resolution is basically unnoticeable (at least for my purposes). You can view a sample of my book here: "Djembe Construction: A Comprehensive Guide". If you think the images there are good enough for your purposes, you could down-size your images to half their resolution, which will reduce file size about around a factor of three.

How to display PDF in slideshow, without returning to the first page or stall/halt on the last page?

Hi,
I want to display PDF's with multiple pages as a slideshow.
This is possible with a default Adobe Reader and have this working for ONE pdf file.
But I want do display multiple PDF's as a slideshow, the one after the other.
In Adobe Reader you can define to return to the first page again or it automatically 'stalls/halts' at the last page.
But I want Adobe Reader to close after the last page is displayed so it continues (in a simple DOS-script) with a second, third, etc. PDF to be displayed.
Is this possible?
What kind of simple DOS-script kan be used or an other reader/utility?
Thanks in advance!
Gunther

Hi Bernd,
I was looking for ways to script this kind of solution.
But do not have good results. There are tools to combine pdf's into one large pdf - but mostly to be selected by hand.
We need it in a scriptable way to automate.
Additionally, we want to be able to combine different types of documents to rotate as a slide show (so not only PDF's but also pictures or other output).
If you or someone else have such scripts, it will be highly appreciated.

It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch...

I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells.

As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
In Pages (or Numbers)
- we can't sort a single column
- we can't sort by row
- we can't insert or remove a single cell
- a cell can't cross pages boundaries

If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users.
