I have a report that works fine. the user can select either HTML, Excel or PDF.
But in PDF there is a big unused space.
the report could be printed on 4 pages, but because of the large footing space it uses 8 pages.
How can I reduce that space.

I tried

SET PAGESIZE = A4
SET LINES = 50

When I change that to 60 or 20 there is no difference.

Frank, off the top of my head i had a similar issue and i believe PRINTPLUS {on/off} sorted it or at least gave me more control over the document....

can anyone clarify? as i can't remember the report i used it in to check syntax..

thanks that is it
just say

SET PRINTPLUS=ON

I do not seem to more control, but for some reason the bottom margin is smaller.
