Problem:
I have a multiple page footers which are suppressed conditionally, but even after hiding the page footer, it leaves space and whole formatting is vague now in my Crystal Report.
Is there any way to remove extra blank space from Report when Page Footer is hidden?
I have tried using "Suppress Blank Section" option, but then also no help.
Crystal Report version - 2008
To give a better answer. I'd need more details of the footer contents & conditions for suppression. That said, I would try the following:
- Set the footer contents to also be conditionally hidden/suppressed with the same logic used in the footer section itself.
- If that doesn't solve your problem, try debugging by removing all footer contents. If "suppress if blank" functions correctly after this, then your problem is that one of the items in the footer is not actually blank.
- If the footer still isn't suppressed, try going into design mode, zoom wayyyy out, and see if there might be something outside of the visible page template in the footer section that is causing the section to not be blank... if page dimensions or settings were changed at some point, or you placed a lot of items in the report at the same time, CR will sometimes cause items to be outside of the dimensions of the page template, but still within the section.
Those steps aside, there's not much we do without specific details. Try giving an example of the desired behavior, and desired conditions to trigger that behavior, and we can advise further.
