Page Break Issue

Hi All,
I would need to apply page break on one BI Publisher report.
For each empoyee the result should get displayed in separate page. I have made Emplid as Group by field in the rtf and applyied <?split-by-page-break:?> on this group.
I have the below tags in my rtf...
<?for-each-group:ROW;./Emplid?>
data filed1,data filed2..................
<?split-by-page-break:?><?end for-each-group?>
If rtf file is having one page of report fileds and applied <?split-by-page-break:?> at end of the group, the PDF output places the page-breaks perfectly. In a case of report fileds are in more than one page(rtf contains 2 pages of code) and If I apply <?split-by-page-break:?> at the end of the group. So the report is not making page breaks rather it shows continues data.
I am using BI 10.1.3.3.2 and word2007. Is the version makes any difference? Can you pls help me on this?
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards,
Ramesh

The scenario directly below puts an extra line on the top of the page after a group page break:
<?for-each-group:ROW;.//row?>
data filed1,data filed2..................
<?split-by-page-break:?><?end for-each-group?>
The scenario directly works perfectly, no extral line:
<?for-each-group:.//row?><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute>
data filed1,data filed2..................
<?end for-each?>
Thanks for this one!

Upgrading reports from 6i to 10g r2 : page break issue

Hi All
we have 150 business critical reports that we are upgrading to 10g. When we run the reports to browser, page break in the browser does not coincide with the report page break. I am getting headings in the middle of pages, how do I fix it?
This is urgent, any help is appreciated.

When we changed the reports output to PDF instead of HTML. The pagebreak issue is no longer an issue.
Have anyone done any benchmark against performance and cpu utilization in using pdf format to generate and display reports.

Page Break Issue - Excel 2013

I'm about to explode, trying to figure out why this problem is happening. I have two users who are opening
an Excel file from the same location, and they're doing their own modifications/saves. When one user opens the document and prints, the Print Preview shows 12 pages, and there are no problems. When the other user opens the same file and prints, there are 18
pages.
Throughout those 18 pages, there are several blank pages interspersed with populated ones, and there are also
a couple of pages with one line or so, from the end of a previous page. If I go to View>>Page Break Preview, this extended document shows little slivers of extra pages. The top of those little "pages" are dashed, and the bottom line is the
solid page-break, for the next page.
Why would this be happening to one user, but not the other? They're both opening the exact same page/template.
Oh, and as a side note, I'm also getting 18 pages with blanks/single-lines, when I open the file. Is there an advanced setting that the 12-page user has checked in Excel that I'm missing? Am I providing enough information?
Any help is massively appreciated.
- Thanks

It's probably caused by a difference in printers. Excel uses the printer settings to place page breaks
Some printers, e.g. inkjet printers, have a smaller printable area than others, e.g. laser printers. As a result, less information will fit on a page.
The worksheet apparently also has manually set page breaks.
Let's take a simple example: the used area of the worksheet has 94 used rows, and a manual page break has been set below row 47. I'll assume that the used area is rather narrow.
On printer A, 48 rows fit on a page. So the first 47 rows will be printed on page 1, and the next 47 rows on page 2.
On printer B, only 46 rows fit on a page because it has a smaller printable area. So the first 46 rows will be printed on page 1, the 47th row on page 2 (not more, because there is a manual page break below row 47). The next 46 rows will be printed on page
3, and the 94th and last row on page 4.

Page break issue with subform AddInstance

I would like the table on page 4 of this form --- http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/10-09_TrichomoniasisEpiInvestigation.pdf --- to be allowed to break across a page if necessary. I want the button on that page to add another instance of the table at the top of the next available page.
I am clearly missing something about subforms and overflow because in LCD, this is a 5-page form. When it's opened in Acrobat, it's a 7-page form (the table displays on page 6) and and the table extends past the bottom of the page so that the button is not visible.
Any leads on how I can fix this? Thanks.

Thank you for the tip. Your fix is a big step in the right direction --- the form renders as it should but only if I don't enable usage rights for Reader. After usage rights are enabled, the page break problems reappear and the blank table runs off the bottom of the page. Do you know why this occurs? (I've reposted your fixed form with user rights enabled---http://www.tahc.state.tx.us/10-09_TrichomoniasisEpiInvestigation.pdf.) Thanks again.

Xml report:Page break issue

Hi I am working on PO Printing Report.There are mainly three section .1 is Header part which contains informaition like Bill to Address Ship to address,vendor address payment terms etc,middle part contais lots of information like header notes,supplier header note,note to vendor ,ship instruction,line notes ,if po cancelled then its informaition,if any line gets cancelled than the same information , all lines for this PO and many more.After this section we have footer like part which have total column and signature.The total and signature are dynamic.i.e should appean in last page only.The last page of report for a PO conatains a image Terms And Condtion.
Now problem is as there are lots of data in middle part ,It pushes the footer part to the next page.I need to break the page after certain height of table or certain no of records in table so as to have footer remain in each page.
Is there any way to fix no of records in middle part or calculate heigth of table at run time ...when it reaches to its max height ,I break the page.
Or I include the footer section in page footer but as its dynamic How can I get total column value and signature url dynamically.
Please suggest me how to achieve this.....

Welcome to the forum !
I don't see your report, but I'm almost sure that one of your data exceeds field size. To fix it, try set for all your report items (frames, fields, repeating frames) vertical elasticity to variable and horizontal elasticity to fixed. It should fix your problem. Afterwards you can investigate which filed/frame causes an error, setting back elasticity of your items

Report page break not correct in browser

Hi all
I have 150+ reports that I am converting from 6i to 10g. These repors print correctly in 6i (client SErver) with page break at proper places. When I run the same report on web, the page breaks in the reports are converted to lines in the html output. Also the page headers appearin the middle of the page. Page break seems to be controlled by the browser and not by report. How do I make the report page break the same way as in 6i.
any help is appreciated. We are in the middle of testing and the users will not sign off until this is resolved.

SET
System parameter MODE = Default
On Report Level Property Sheet
Under Report Escapes
SET After Page Value =
<table style="page-break-before: always;height=0"></table>
Run reports as DESFORMAT=HTML
This will resolve the Page Break issue.
Unfortunately, printing reports from browser will generate a blank last page.
Perhaps the command line parm BLANKPAGES=NO will work for you...
I am told it does not work because printing is a browser issue not a reports issue...

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

Hi
I am facing an issue with Page break only when I have sorting applied on the grouping that I have in the template.

In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

Smartform issue with page break

Hi All,
I have an unusual issue with page break. Here is my scenario, I have a group of items in my table main area and for each group there is sort of header that prints. Similarly there are multiple groups needing a header whenever there is a new group printing. So far it prints fine. But whenever there is a page break and when items from the same group also print on the next page the same header needs to print on the top of next page similar to how the header area repeats on each page. Unfortunately I did not see any page break event for table main area.
Here is an alternative I have tried but having issues: I have created two rows for this group header one printing from header and another printing from main area. Whenever there is a page break the same group header prints as part of the header and on the rest of the page it prints from the main area. But in a particular scenario, there is a new group starting at almost bottom of the page but as there is not enough space left on the same page (page protection) jumps to next page. In this case there are two group headers printed one coming from the preivous page main area and another coming from the next page header. I hope my explanation is clear enough to understand.
Please suggest if there is any basic feature of smartform that I have missed out can solve this issue or if there is another alternative you can think of. I appreciate your responses.
Thanks..

I was able to solve this issue on my own.
Instead of checking for a page break on header line I am using a flag that is prepopulated in the table. I set this flag whenver a new group of items starts. If the flag is set I print it from the main area and if it is not set I print it from the header. This helped in avoiding the multiple header lines..

Does Acrobat Pro 9 support "page-break-before" CSS tag? ie Pagination issues

Hey there
Converting a whole stack of html files to PDF and having some pagination issues. Titles not staying with images and tables getting chopped in half by page breaks etc.
Thought i could solve it by using carefully placed "page-break-before:always" tags where i wanted the page break. Works as expected in Safari when i go to print but not when i "File:Create PDF: From File" in Acrobat Pro. They get ignored.
Here's how they should work:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#x3
This is a major hassle. I've got over 600 webpages to convert to PDF's and manually entering <br> to force items onto the next page is getting old.
Here's some sample html, paste it into a file, save, open it in Safari and then go to print. It should print 7 pages. Open it in Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 and you get one page.
<body>
test0
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test1
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test2
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test3
<p style="page-break-before: always">
test4
<p style="page-break-before: always">
</body>
The really nice thing is this would be so useful. You can attach the tag (page-break-before:avoid) to a Caption style and always be assured that it will stay with a following graphic when you print the webpage. Or use it to make sure a table doesn't get cut in half.

Nope. Did the </br> thing.
Cost me some serious cash. Very annoying.
I haven't tried it with Safari 5. Acrobat allowed me set page margins, something that Safari 4 didn't allow (didn't support margin css tags). But acrobat didn't support the pagination and Safari 4 did.
Like i said annoying
I'll see if Safari 5 supports the print margins css tags.
I'll prob get asked to do this again so would like to sort it out

Page break/empty page issue

Hi,
I have big report with 4 data sections.
This is the structure of the report.
Main Frame
--> Repeating Frame
-->Frame1 - PageBreak After - Yes
Some Fields
-->Frame2 - PageBreak After - Yes
Some Fields
--> Repeating Frame
-->Frame3 - PageBreak After - Yes
Some Fields
--> Repeating Frame
-->Frame4 - PageBreak After - Yes
--> Repeating Frame
The size of the report with all the fields and frames in designer is coming up to 30 inches.
When I run the report leaving the Main Section Height property setting to 11 inches,
I get the following error
REP-1212: Object 'M_6' is not fully enclosed by its enclosing object 'Body'
When I changed the Main Section Height property setting to 30 inches then the report runs fine,
but each page break is taking 30 inches even though there the data is not 30 inches.
Meaning even though section 1 (frame 1) has only 10 lines section 2 is displayed after 30 inches of section 1.
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
I hope I explained the problem clearly.
Thanks

In my report there are four major sections and each section should start on a new page.
After I add all the fields to all the sections the report height is 30 inches.
For it to run I had to set the page height property to 30 (Main Section --> Height). I think I am correct here.
So, when I run the report each section is starting in a new page but each section is taking 30 inches.
That is the problem.

Issue tabbing across page breaks in dynamic form

Hi all,
I have a strange problem that I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of, relating to my dynamic form.
This form grows and shrinks depending on how the user fills it out. I have a questionnaire section where certain questions are hidden or shown depending on previous input.
Things get interesting when I look at the tab order. Sometimes when tabbing forward or backward across page breaks, the focus lands on a spot that I cannot identify. There will be no cursor and I can not type. However if I continue to tab in the same direction, I can see that it is still going in the correct sequence. It just looks like for some reason, in those places, focus is put in the wrong component. But if I type different input into the prior fields (ones that affect the length of the pages) that causes the field to move to different place where it's not adjacent to a page break, and then tabbing to the field in either direction works fine. It seems that only when it's beside a page break, it becomes problematic.
Also, it only seems to be a problem if the field gets moved to be adjacent to a page break AFTER the form is initially rendered. If the field was originally beside a page break by default, then it seems to work fine.
Just to rule out a possible problem with the tab order configuration, I set my from to Automatic tabs, and even went as far as removing all the <traversal> elements from the form.
After doing either of those things, the problem still persists.
Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Eric,
I have seen funny behaviour when tabbing within Preview in LC Designer. It may be picking up a read-only item in the Master Page.
Good luck,
Niall

Extended table printing issues over page break

I have an extended table on a form that may have many rows - multi pages generated from a database.
when printing or print pdf - safari and firefox will split a row at bottom of a page and start of next page... page break problem...
if i control database output wich 50 recs per page then user would have to print each page separately - wasting time - so that is not a good option....
Q: how do I get this to print best for viewing without page break problem?
Thaks in advance for your help - dave

Hi Amruta ,
I hope the following steps will solve your problem :
1. Merge the data from the 3 tables into a single table (say gt_outtab).
2. The table gt_outtab should have a field (say tab ) to indicate the table from which the data has come . Depending on the tables conatining the initial data , you can assign 1, 2 , 3 into the new field (tab).
3. Bulid the fieldcatalog with the particular column (TAB) of the output table as no_out='X'.
gs_fieldcat-COL_POS = lv_line.
gs_fieldcat-fieldname = 'TAB'.
gs_fieldcat-outputlen = 1.
gs_fieldcat-just      = 'L'.
gs_fieldcat-coltext   = 'Table'.
gs_fieldcat-seltext   = 'Table'.
gs_fieldcat-NO_OUT   = 'X'.
APPEND gs_fieldcat TO lt_fcat.
4. Define the data of type lvc_s_print
DATA: gs_print TYPE lvc_s_prnt.
5. Before calling the method set_table_for_first_display assign grpchgedit of the structure gs_print as 'X'
gs_print-grpchgedit = 'X'.
    CALL METHOD gr_grid->set_table_for_first_display
        EXPORTING
           is_print            = gs_print
           is_layout           = ls_layo
        CHANGING
          it_outtab           = gt_outtab[]
          it_fieldcatalog     = lt_fcat.
6. Run the report . The particular column is not displayed in the list.
7. Go to Print Preview mode. Press the sort ascending or descending button on toolbar (without selecting a column).A dialog box appears asking for sort order.
8. Add the field(TAB), from the available list on right hand side.
9. In the last column titled NG of this sort order dialog box, write * for page feed .
10. Press the copy button .
Hope this solves your problem .
Thanks ,

Page break not applying when using sub report inside main report

I have a main report inside which there is subreport (using SQL Server 2012). I placed some page breaks inside subreport but they were not working. I read on technet forums that this is a a known issue with SSRS.
One solution I found is to put a table inside main report, then in first row add a rectangle and set its property "Add a page break after" and then add subreport after this rectangle in that table in main report. I did that and now in some cases
it does show sub report on a separate page but sometimes it shows subreport on same page.
Could it be because in some case sub report has no or less data (hence it cannot cover whole page) and in that case it will always show on one page? How can I show empty subreport on a separate page?

I fixed it by clicking both "Add a page break before" and "Add a page break after" in rectangle.

Page break within a group(s)

I have a report that uses a group that contains three parts, a details part, a blank lines part, and a totals part.
What I am attempting to achieve, is to produce the report so that there are page breaks within this group. The page breaks should happen after each part.
I have been able to achieve the desired look by adding a group for each part, with an additional 'blank' group to provide a page break between the Details Part and the remaining 2 parts.
This, however has left me with 3 issues;
Throughout the report, there will be pages with only the heading and no details.
There are pages that show 2 headings (one for the ending detail group and the other is for successive detail group)
How to remove the headings for the blank lines part and totals part (which is now on their own separate pages)
The major pain point for me is issue #3. Anyone able to offer suggestions with the amount of information provided?

Hello,
Based on your description, you have three part in one group. You have add page break between each part. You have mentioned that the heading will repeat in each page. You have set the tablix repeat headers on each page, right?
Since you have blank line part in the group, when we add page break between each part, we will get a blank line page. When we have set the heading will repeat in each page, we would also have repeat page header in blank page.
Now, what your requirement is not get the repeat header in the blank page and total page, right? Please refer to the following steps below:
Cancel the headers repeat in each page configuration.
Add a total row before of the detail group. Change these text box values with headers values.
Please refer to the screenshot below:
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
