hi friends ,

Thank you for your resolutions. I am having a small issue here. Whenever my report breaks onto the next page in the PDF format, the border lines are not getting closed properly. They end abruptly just before the page subfooting.

Following is an example using EMPDATA

SET PRINTPLUS = ON
TABLE FILE EMPDATA
BY FIRSTNAME
BY LASTNAME
HEADING
" Ref: R1295 <+0> <+0> Commercial in Confidence<+0>Run on: &DATEDMYY "
" <+0> <+0> "
" Year: 2007<+0> Period: 09"
" Division: <+0>IS"
" Department: <+0>IS"
" Acct: 83505"
FOOTING
" Page "FSL Commercial in Confidence"
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
BORDER=LIGHT,
UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='A4', RIGHTMARGIN=0.194444, TOPMARGIN=0.10000, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.00000,
SQUEEZE=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,$
TYPE=FOOTING , STYLE=BOLD,FONT='ARIAL',$
ENDSTYLE
END


In the above code , just before the first page ends , the border lines end abruptly above the page footing.

Is there anyway that the borderlines close just before a page ends?? I mean there is a BORDER-BOTTOM at the end of every page.??

Thank you very much

From a cursory glance, try adjusting the BOTTOMMARGIN value.

hi ptp,

Thanks for the reply,

But bottom margin is not having any effect.
I want the border lines to close before the page number footing. Increasing the bottom margin is not having any effect.

Thank you

Arvind,

Did you try the change I suggested? GRID=ON will give you the exact same borderlines as the BORDER=LIGHT statement in a PDF output.


Thanks!

Arvind,

Go Here and page down till you find Mickey's articles on PDF and HTML formatting Part I & II. It is an excellent source for almost any question.
