Report that spans several pages

I have a 31 column report that will be exported to Excel. I am not sure how to design it since I can really only pick landscape or portrait to the page width is limited.
Should I use Cross-tabs? I have read about them but am not sure if this is the correct method.
Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated .

I have XP and was able to set the page size to 20 inches.
Now, when I call the report from the crystal viewer in my application, it is not that wide. Hmm....any suggestions on making the viewer wider?
Thanks,

Long continuous passages -- spanning several pages

I am trying to set-up my iWork for a booklet, but am having problems.
On each page, I need three basic sections for text:
1) MAIN BODY - I've got a bunch of text that I want to drop here that would not fit on one page, but I'd like it to run over to the next page's MAIN BODY and so on.
2) RIGHT-LEFT BORDER COLUMN - I've got running commentary on the side of the main body, that I also want to span several pages.
3) BOTTOM FOOTNOTES - At the bottom of each page, I want a text box for footnotes. This does NOT need to span several pages.
And finally, after getting a page set-up for this... how do I save it as a template?
Thanks in advance to all those who help me... I hope!

Hello Brad,
for the booklet you need a two sided page layout, I think. So set the option "Facing pages" in the "Document" inspector under the "Document" tab panel to active. Now set number fields in the "Document margins" section in the same tab panel so you have the width of the main text column covering the main text area and the commentary area. You don't need the header or the footer so set both to "0". In the "Layout" inspector you have to set the "Layout margins" "Outer" number field to a value, so you have the space for your commentary column and enough width for the main text area.
Now the next layout part that is missing is the commentary column. This we have to insert as a fix positioned textbox on every page.
So show the first page and make sure the text cursor is not visible (or you will insert the textbox into the text are where the text cursor is visible, what we want to avoid). Now be sure the snap tool is active (the last two options in the preferences window). Insert the textbox and place and resize it to fit the room you need for it. Now deactivate the text wrap for this textbox in the "Wrap" inspector with the option "Object causes wrap".
Now the last area, the footer. You only have to insert it when you need this footer or you will have an empty textbox on every page. I think you want to have it's width from the outer border of the main text area to the outer border of the commentary textbox. So insert a textbox with no shown textcursor and place and resize it for your needs. Make sure this footer textbox is in the front level (menu: "Arrange/Bring to Front") but normally every new inserted object will be placed in the top level. For this textbox the wrap option has to be set so it wraps the text of the main text area and of the commentary area. That prevents the footer text from covering the other text. Now insert the text you need, and if the text will began to overfill the box, go in the layout mode for that textbox (click once outside and once inside of it), grab the middle handle at the top border and resize it so you can see all text.
If the main text area will be full, Pages creates automatically a new page to contain the overflowing text. This will not be the case for the commentary column, because it is a textbox. You will notica a small rectangle containing a plus sign at the bottom border, if this textbox will be overfilled. To see this hidden text, do a double-click into the blue rectangle near the bottom of the right border of the textbox. A new textbox with the same size will appear on the next page, containing the text that don't fit into the textbox of the previous page. You only have to place the textbox aside the main text area.
So that is one layout appearance for the booklet, but you can have a none facing pages document as well. I think after this little tut you will be able to do the layout you need.
To save this as a document template, use the menu item "File/Save as Template...". If you want to have a section template for inserting different sections with the same layout (like with the menu item "Insert/Pages/") we will answer this in a new post, because this box will overflow soon as well.
And if there are more questions (because my explanations are not understandable), feel free to ask.

Need to print a report that has two pages but based on condition

Hi
Can someone help me. I have a report that has 2 pages and I need print it but not boths pages at the sametime.
I have code ( the conditions)like this
If (A=Y) then
print Page 2
else print page 1
end if;
Note: Where would I put the code. Please
Thank you

Some folks have written JavaScripts for such needs, but for only 6 pages I would simply do the following. 1. Crop all pages to show 1 and 4. Then print to a new PDF (not optimum, but will do the job). 2. Repeat for 2 and 5. 3. Repeat for 3 and 6. Now open one of them in Acrobat and the use insert pages to insert the other two files. Now rearrange the pages using the Pages display and save. That should do the job.

Report 2D table spanning several pages

I've created a report (using a script) that creates two 2D tables. The number of entries in each table depends on user input (timespan and number of channels), so I don't know how many pages the report will span across.
Is there a way of automaitcally exapdning the report to the number of pages required?
If not, what would be the best approach for solving this issue?

Hi salte,
Here's an example of what Walter is talking about that uses 2D tables instead of 2D graphs.

How to paginate the Report output spanning multiple pages

Hello,
We have a Report that has a custom Layout and it shows invoice information.
Our system has to generate an Invoice per day.
This Report is printed fine for single day.
But our users have 2 requests:
1. To print all the invoices for 1 month
2. To save them to file.
At least printing will do for now.
The problem I got is pagination.
When I made Month&Year as parameter and user selects 2001-OCT
to print all invoices in Oct,2001, the Report is unable to print one invoice per page. In between the layout is rolling over to multiple pages.
Is there a way I can control pagination or any settings?
Thank you much.

Creating a dynamic table that spans multiple pages

Hi guys,
I have a script that is able to add rows to a dynamic table.
The issue I am having now is I want this dynamic table to span multiple pages.
I'm not exactly sure how to do this. It looks like to me that the table stops once it reaches the height of the text frame enclosing it.
How do you create a table / text frame that expands to it's contents and not the size of the text frame enclosing it. Ideally I want this table to span multiple pages.

OK, I have 3 screenshot to see if that will help. My book is a transcription of some old county records around 1800. I have a section of my book that had a list of items in text separated by a right tab.
I highlighted that text and converted it to a table. In portrait mode I can scroll and see all the table.
When I switch to landscape mode the table is cut off and does not wrap to the next page.
The text after the table appears on the next page. The preview on the ipad is the same.
Thanks for any help on figuring this out. Also, I enjoy your podcasts.

How can I print a free format style report that is 3 pages long

You may say this would be like a letter format (no columns), but is actually a formatted document. It is on 3 pages. I was instructed by a Oracle reports teacher to place on multiple frames with page protect to fix my problem of text for one line of text to appear on two pages. I tried this, but it did not work.
I've had to specify 3 panels to accommodate for the 3 pages of text. I've made the frames vertically expandable for varied body of text.
Thanks ahead of time,
Jeannie

Header Section, Main Section and the Trailer Section. u just need to go to the properties of the Main Section and set the Verticals panels per page property to the desired number of pages across which u wanna span ur record. and put in the corresponding frames and fields within them

Capturing data from a dynamic table that span multiple pages

I created a PDF form that contained a dynamic table that can span across multiple pages. Additional rows in the table can be created by the person filling the form as and when needed.
The PDF form is distributed to the receipient using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
However, when the form is "Submitted" back to the originator of the form, only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file. All the other rows are left out.
I would be grateful if anyone can advise me as to how do I or what shall I do to get all the data in all the rows in the table into the Response File?
Thank you.

Hi
Attached are the saved completed PDF-Form and the response file after the completed form has been submitted. I have copied this message to your gMail account.
Only data in the first row of the table is captured in the Response file.
If it is working correctly on your side, please let me know what could have gone wrong on my side.
Thank you.

How do you highlight a sentence that spans two pages without having to make two notes?

If a sentence starts on one page and continues to the next, how do you highlight the entire sentence without having to start a second note for the second page? I know it's possible because one of my notes is highlighed that way. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do. But I can't figure it out and I can't seem to find any solutions either.

Not sure if it'd make any sense, given the device and software,
but what happens if you could resize the page so that sentence
is in one page, then resize the page back to original size; which
should make both halves of a sentence still retain that aspect?
Just an idea...
Dangerous enough?

Copy saved reports when copying a page

Hi
We're using the saved public reports extensively to offer users an array of display options.
Is it possible to copy the saved reports together with the rest of the page when copying the whole page?
It's quite frustrating to lose all the saved reports - especially when copying pages between applications.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Christina
It would be REALLY helpful if this could apply to copying a page between applications.
Let me explain why this is so.....
The particular set of applications I'm developing now, is used to display information in many ways to a varied audience.
This requires the definition of 10 or more saved public reports each on several pages.
Because of the size of the application, and the need to "modularise" development, we develop the different sections in their own application, and control the source, recovery from developer error etc. at the application level.
Once a module has been tested, we copy the new pages into the final test application (not many pages but each with a lot of functionality because of the saved reports) for final release.
It is at this stage that we have the problem.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Mike

How can I copy text spanning multiple pages in iBook?

I like to drop sections of text from i
books into letters, journal entries etc and for the life of me I cannot figure out the functionality of grabbing text that spans multiple pages.

Hi James,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. You actually solved the problem. I am able to select as much text as I want now. The bummer is the lame feature where you cannot take more than a couple hundred words at a time. The section I wanted was about one and a half pages and it took me 3 separate copy pastes to get it all. Does anyone know of software or a trick to overcome this limitation?
James thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

iCal reports that it can't find server, and lots of data from several years ago is trying to get attention. Cannot bring up calendar in any view to use. also keeps loading unused calendar websites from long ago. I can' remove them. what to do?

UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting. This is a puzzle!!!

How to show a Page Total in a Main Report that is calculated in a SubReport

Hi,
I have a Main Report and a SubReport with the detail.
The Report has several pages. I want to show a Page Total in each Page, retrieving data that is in the subreport (Detail).
I tried to use a shared variable, but the problem is that the formula fields are assigned at the end of the subreport, so I can't pass the value back (to the main report) until the last record of the subreport is printed.
I also can't show the Page Total at the subreport, because I have a particular format that I need to respect and only can be printed from the Main Report.
Is any way to do this ? At this moment, with the shared variables I'm getting 0 until the last record is printed.
Also, I can calculate the Page Total from outside Crystal Reports, do to there some fields that can grow, so I can't figure out how many record are going to be printed.
Thanks in advance!
Ariel

hello, this may depend on how the main report was actually paging...
1) do you have one group per page for example?
2) is the sub on a group footer level?
3) does the subreport use a different data set than the main report?
some suggested workarounds would be to
a) use a report header cross-tab (identical to the existing crosstab) that creates an array of values that you can access anywhere on the main report
b) place an identical cross-tab above the existing one, and suppress all of the subreport sections (not the section where the subreport sits) and then bring the value back to the main report
cheers,
jamie

ALV report that changes depending on Top-of-page info.

Hi,
The requirement is to create an ALV Grid Report that has a one of its field (say company code) in top-of-page. The values in ALV grid should be grouped for the company code. When the values for one company code end, the report should go to next page and have a next company code in top-of-page with its corresponding data.
While I know this can be done in classical report, I have not seen any example of ALV report for it. The solution to this could be just to have company code as one of the fields in ALV Grid and sort. But the client is unrelenting.
Please suggest.
Edited by: siddhesh kandalgaonkar on Jun 23, 2010 2:00 PM

Siddhesh,
You could define buttons / controls ... called 'next comp code' and 'prev comp code', and then in the events for these controls you could re-populate the alv data table with the data for each company code each time a button is pressed.
Hope this helps ...

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents
