Default pdf question - 06-02-2007 , 01:32 PM






Is there a way to insert a cover sheet on a pdf report? Title header
doesn't really do the job as it then affects the spacing in the rest of
the report with the effect of reducing the number of records per page.
8.5 pro
windows xp

Thanks

I haven't tried it, but stretching the Title Header to a full page
height might work.

Unfortunately the Title Header won't disply the page break margin. The
best way around this is to create a blank layout with only a Body part,
stretch that down until you can see the page break and then use the
T-squares to set the horiztonal position of the page break. Then go
back to the original layout and the T-squares should be in the same
position so you now know where the page break is. )

Thanks. Works great. I had tried stretchin the title header but did not
go far enough. Forgot about the T-squares.
Still a novice here.
