Interactive Reporting Reports w/ Page Breaks and Charts

I have an IR report that is Grouped. I would like to page break after each group; however, when I set this up, it page breaks be/tw the report header and the very first group. Is there a way to avoid this issue?
Also, I have created charts from queries. When I drag them into a report body, I can not figure out how to control where the go (and stay). It seems the only way around the issue is to drag them into the report footer, but then if the report body is shorter from one query run to another, it seems to leave the charts on the pages where they were before instead of moving them up to the end of the report body. How can I fix so the chart's location moves depending on the length of the report?
Thanks.
Terri T.

Terri,
to clarify...Spring works within the same report area, for example a table followed by a chart in the Body. Spring allows the position of the top of the chart to be relative to the bottom of the table so as it grows or shrinks the chart maintains the same space between the two objects. without spring the top of the chart would be relative to the top of the report area it is in and as the table grew the objects would end up being layered.
You should not need to upload a new CSV file. You can just "Process" it and it will refresh the data. if the CSV file is moved from where it was first imported you will be prompted to find it otherwise the imported file section within the BQY will have any additional Rows and/or Columns that the updated CSV file has.
Make sense?

When I publish projects with AICC reporting enabled the SWF "breaks" and does not load.

When I publish projects with AICC reporting enabled the SWF "breaks" and does not load. If I change the publish method to SCORM the SWF works, and if I turn off reporting the SWF also works.

OK. That makes sense now. Captivate 6 changed over to Rustici's LMS drivers. Cp7 must have made even further changes that mean you must have an LMS present if you turn on reporting.
I would suggest you just turn off reporting while you are testing other aspects of the course functionality during development, and only turn on reporting when you are ready to upload to your LMS.

RH8 for Word - Strange page breaks and non-scoll headers

RH8 and Word 2007 generating WinHelp 2000.
Normal page breaks are full page width.
When I insert one in manually, it shows as only 2 inches wide.
A tiopic with this short break does not show as a non-scroll header and does not get included in the browse sequence
Any ideas folks?

Funny you should ask as I've been trying to figure this out too!
This is a Word 2007 issue - I assume you are using Office 2007? I am using RH7, but I believe my solution will work for you because it is Word, not RH.
Anyhow, assuming my Word 2007 assumption is spot-on, you need to change word options.
Go to the Office button, select Word Options.
Select Advanced.
Scroll to bottom of the window and look for Compatibility options (very bottom of the window).
Expand the layout options.
Check "don't split apart page break and paragraph mark". (You can apply this to the current open doc you see or all docs - if all docs, you will probably change the global normal template, which you may not want to do.)
Click Okay.
Note, if you go to recheck the setting, the format is now listed as "custom".
Specifically, what was happening is the page break was taking on a "normal" style with 0pts before and after. This caused for me a big gap between the top of the help window and my heading 1 style. (I have my Heading 1 style set to 6pt before and 2pt after and font is 12pt.) Changing the above makes the page break itself take on the Heading 1 style which then also expands across the draft window instead only a couple inches. Other than affecting how the Heading 1 might appear in the compiled help system, I don't see any probelm with using the page break with the normal style applied to it, however, it is a little disconcerting. I noticed this particularly in the Outline view as I sort the pages in my the doc alphabetically based on Heading 1 so I can locate info easily by client name. When I used the "normal" or should I say "abnormal" style page break, these page breaks were excluded from the sort and I had no page breaks! (At least there is still an undo option!)
I'm not sure, but you may need to modify the robohelp.dot template to keep this permanent for your robohelp for word help systems.
In addition, your heading style probably does not have the paragraph format setting set to "keep with next", so change the style and that should add the non-scroll to the header.
One final piece of advice, have the "developer" tab showing in the ribbon. This allows you to access the template and see the styles in your doc. I would uncheck the "automatically update" option so that when you reopen the doc, it doesn't lose any doc specific style changes you made.

Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue

I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report. How can I determine the last page? I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number. Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property. But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer. The report includes this page in the total number of pages. For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2. Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer. No page header or page footer prints.
Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated. To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.

To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
- in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
- try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
- try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
Best regards

Crystal Reports 2008 Missing Page Headers and Footers when Exporting Excel

After upgrading from Crystal Reports 9 to Crystal Reports 2008 we have noticed that when we export to Excel the document no longer retains the page headers and footers. After doing some reading I see that there is a property called ExportPageHeadersAndFooters that we can tap into. However, I am unable to get this to work for me. Below is my code, do you have any suggestions?
                ReportDocument rdReport = new ReportDocument();
                rdReport.Load(sReportFilePath);
                ExportFormatType exType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                // create an instance of excel formatting options
                ExcelFormatOptions foFormat = new ExcelFormatOptions();
                foFormat.UsePageRange = false;
                foFormat.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = true;
                foFormat.ExcelTabHasColumnHeadings = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageBreaksForEachPage = true;
                foFormat.ExportPageHeadersAndFooters = ExportPageAreaKind.OnEachPage;
                // set up more exporting options
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
                rdReport.ExportOptions.FormatOptions = foFormat;
                rdReport.ExportToStream(exType);

I was able to get it to work but I had to do this.
ExportRequestContext expReqCntxt = new ExportRequestContext();
expReqCntxt.ExportInfo = rdReport.ExportOptions;
sExported = ((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)rdReport).FormatEngine.ExportToStream(expReqCntxt);

Cross tab sub report with vertical page breaks

Hi have a report which contains 3 sub reports - different views of similar data. The sub report is wide enough to cover two landscape pages across and they run down over two pages
The first subreport on page one does expand across into the secon landscape page, but does not repeat the row labels, although the settings in both main & subreport cross tab are to repeat
The secon & third sub reports which print on the escon vertical page do not expand across to display any data, so I get no page four.
They all have exactly the same settings.
Is there any easy way to resolve this?

hi Julie,
this is i believe the nature of cross-tabs inside of subreports...horizontal expansion within the subreports is not a supported feature.
you mentioned that the data is similar but just different views...is the query that each subreport runs off of bringing in the same record set? if so, is it possible to move the cross-tabs into the main report?
are you using crystal reports 2008? if so, does changing the page setup for the entire report to a huge size and then the pagination for each section to landscape help?

ALV Page Breaks and Scrolling

Hello! Could someone please help me with this one?
I have an ALV report that requires to have a page break every N lines. I've checked initially with similar posts on the forum, but so far all the solutions I've seen are based on the SORT-GROUP field. Has anyone discovered how to do the page break based on the line number?
Also, there's something weird with the scrolling of my report. Whenever I click the next page button, or press the Page Down, it goes to the very end of the report output. Do I need to set something in order for the page down/up to function properly?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
Please take a look at a previous post at Re: New Page in ALV for Value Change on a Field on the same topic.
Hope it helps.

How to influence Page Break and Keep Together options

Hello,
we are using Crystal Repost 13.1 and generate Reports via C# Code and ADO.NET Data.
Now to the problem.
We generate Invoices that show the detail position in several Detail sections. After the Detailsections there are Reportfooter Sections for net and gross sums, VAT info, payment terms, delivery adresses and so forth.
My problem is now that I always want the three report footer sections that show the net sum, VAT and gross sum on one page. But the Keep together option can only be applied for the entire report footer. if that option is set, due to lots of other text following the sums, it all is shown on the following page, although on the first page there would be enough space to print the sections displaying the sums...
Hope I made myself somewhat clear. Does anyhone have a suggestion on how to handle this?
Thanks in advance.

Merge the 3 report footers into one section and set it to keep together.

How to Insert a Page Break and Duplicate a Page in Pages 5.1

Pages 5 deprecated the "Word Processing" and "Page Layout" styles of document creation, but in 5.1, they have returned.
It seems that the DEFAULT is to "Word Processing," however it is possible to convert the document to a "Page Layout" document: In your open document, click File, then Convert To Page Layout.
So, for a Word Processing document, one only needs to click Insert and then Page Break, while in a Page Layout document, click Insert and then Page.
Unfortunately, the Duplicate Page function has NOT returned, but you can still select the entire contents of a page and copy it to a new page. Unfortunately, your perfect page layout won't copy over exactly, and guides don't copy over either.

Actually, I had an entire page worth of content that didn't change at all, but now that I think about it, that was probably because I had all of my content in boxes.
And I was careful to specify Pages 5.1 in my post heading to avoid confusion. It is VERY WELL documented that Apple removed loads of features in their new iWork apps - including all over this support forum.
Your obvious disdain for Pages 5 notwithstanding, the return of the Page Layout mode is a BIG DEAL to me, as Pages was otherwise just a word processor without it. Prevously, upgrading my Pages 4 documents to Pages 5 would render them un-editable.
So, instead of the seemingly default answer of "delete Pages 5 and use iWork '09" that I saw on just about every post regarding this particular issue, I'm offering a tidbit of information for those who actually want to try and use the current version the way it is.

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?

Page Breaks and empty frames

I have several repeating frames, and a Page Break After on each one. This works fine, but if a frame is null/empty, it still causes a page break.
Is there a way to prevent the page break if the repeating frame has no data?
I have Vertical = Variable on each frame.
thanks in advance,
Mark

Try using format mask.
e.g
if :myfield is null then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
*** :myfield is the data field in that frame.
Hope it 'll work for you.
Capri.

Page breaks and 'Fit Page in Window' option

This may seem a stupid question but indulge me: when I add a page break InDesign is only showing me the very top of the text frame on the page the cursor has moved to. How do I get InDesign to honour the 'Fit Page to Window' option when I add page breaks? Do I really have to keep hitting command-0?

It does like to go exactly to the first line of the next page. It's not very intuitive.
However, you can hold down Alt and scroll the page up.
Or while holding alt - click and hold anywhere on the page. It will zoom out. Move the red box where you want to Zoom to, then release the mouse.
Or you could press Return a few times then delete the returns.

Using Page Breaks and Template Shifting

I'm working on a book. The book is in a word formate. I'm taking the text and porting it into InDesign with page after page being connected. There are 73 pages in total of pure copy once ported in. Now I'm going in and laying the media into the text. I have two basic master template designs that I use based on the content being talked about in the text. Example is Master Template A has a white background, and Master Template B which has a black background.
Since the book is alternating between templates depending on the content on the page the pages might look like this:
Page 1: Template A
Page 2: Template A
Page 3: Template B
Page 4: Template A
and so on. I have a question about page breaking. I'd like to always keep the content on page 3 on a master template B background.
However, if I add more content to A, or if I use a page break, the content on all subsequent pages gets pushed down (all pages are connected). So if I page break on Page 1, my content from page B gets pushed onto a template A background. This is obviously not what I wanted. Should there be another function besides page break that I should be using to put separaters? How can I make sure that my content on page 3 stays on a template B background?

Right now your text is threaded in one continuous story. When you add new text inthe middle, anything following that point is going to move. To prevent that you need to break the text into separate stories for eac type of content.
This is basically the same thing as dividing the chapters of a book so that each one starts onthe correct master page, which is didcussed at some length here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3993405#3993405

Allow page breaks and text overflow indicator

I have set up a sub form to allow page breaks within content which works but then the content that continues on the next page has the text overflow indicator showing and the text field does not expand which is what I want it to do. What do I need to do to get it to continue flowing?

I do not understand why this should be so difficult. What I am doing is just opening a blank form and I can either insert a text field or a subform. I then go to check allow page breaks within content and it is greyed out on a text field. I also can create the subform and it allows me to set it to flowed and allow page breaks but it then has a indicator that displays (Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting allow page breaks within content object of the parent object restrict this object from breaking between pages). The only thing that makes sense is the parent is the blank page form. I have searched all over the place and I cannot see anyplace to set the form page to allow page breaks. The only thing that is on the form is either a check box or a subform and thats it. It keeps having a problem with a parent object. The only 2 objects I see are the blank page and then the text field I add. Nothing seems obvious to fix this. This software does not appear to be very user friendly.
