Title: Images and Footers
Post by: Harmesh S. on August 17, 2010, 10:22:32 am
I am having trouble putting a footer in the correct place when I have an image.  The image is a full page and has the page header and Group hanging off it.  If I try to put a footer on it in the normal way it doesn't work - the repeating group on the On every row just continues on straight over the footer.  I have tried various ways to get round this - the footer doesn't actually contain anything - I just need to stop the repeating group at a certain point on the page to show the rest of the image.  Any ideas?

What is your footer?  Does it have the section property defined as anyPageFooter. Does it have the x-size and y-size explicitly set, 1 size would typically be max, and the other size would be set to a size such as 2cm   A good debug technique is to set the background colour so that you can see the object is where and as big as you think it should be.

If this don't help, try posting the .4rp and.rdd.

I have put the footer in the correct place and this is being printed out correctly - the problem now is that the the repeating group is not stopping - it is carrying on into the footer - any other ideas.

Thanks

Did this get resolved?  If not contact local support, or post a simple 4rp that illustrates the issue.
