Report - preview looks fine, but exporting to PDF splits controls!!!Help!!

Hi, I've build correctly my report using the most efficient tools. I've made the preview and it worked just fine!However, when I export to PDF, it splits the report heigth into two pages, having the columns of my table and other controls splitted.

I'm already using the font size as 7 or 8 (depends), really small, I've tried hard to reduce their size, however the result remains the same...no resolution!!

Is there anybody who may have or had this situation?Any guests or help?Thanks a lot!

is your report in landscape or potrait layout?

|||I've tried both, however the problem remains. I guess I'll try to change a little bit the report to see any change...Thanks anyway!|||

hi

I had a similar situation when i exported my report to PDF and it inserted blank spaces and spilt the report. My solution was not to change the font but the margin size of the report. Try changing the size of the margins and see if it works...

hope this helps.

Hi,

It may not be just the margin size but more combination of margin and paper size. Drag the back ground paper smaller untill it fits within the size of you paper less the margin.

You can also try printing the report. Does this give the same result as export to pdf. Putting a borad arround the page can help see where the edge is.

hope this helps

|||Reorganizing the controls solved out the problem. The issu now is, that I have a footer on which ir presents the current and total nr of pages, such as "page 1 of 2", and the report appears always with 2 pages, even if the report only has one page. The preview shows one page, and the footer shows "page 1 of 1", however, if I export to PDF appears "1 of 2! and the second page only has the footer saying "page 2 of 2"...any guess?Thanks a lot for helping!|||
