White space Footer in Report

Hello,

I've got a report (Invoice) with in in the Footer a rectangle with some DataItems.
When I print the report the Footer is not printed on every page (that is OK) but there is still a big white space. On the last page the Footer is printed.

To see if the Footer is the cause of this problem I deleted the Footer. I print the report and there is no white space anymore.

How do I remove the white space of the footer on the first pages?

Kind regards,
Rob

    The Page Footer is not dynamic in size so you cannot remove the white space since the space you allocated to the footer will be shown on all pages.
    So even though you specify that the footer should not print on i.e. first page, the space will still be allocated. I hate this limitation in RDLC reports.

    There is a way of doing this.

    1. Get a rectangle tool to the report footer, and cut and paste all the previous tools from report footer to rectangle.

    2. In report body you have a table, make table footer visible.

    3. Merge the table footer row, and cut and paste the rectangle from report footer to table footer.

    try this.

    Hi lakshanvindana,

    And how do you make this table visible only on last page?

    Thank you

    check if the page number is equal to the total pages (IIF statement).

    you don't have to do it manually or purposely, because the table footer only displays on last page of the report.
